Right after Nikto put up his post yesterday, Rush Limbaugh apologized to Sandra Fluke. Right on the heels of his apology, Hell called and informed us earthlings that it had frozen over.
It's very serendipitous that all of this has happened. I'd been thinking about Rush of late and was about to do a column about him and how it was just about time for him to say something that would get him noticed again. I would say that this certainly qualifies.
So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.
My first thought after I heard this was...is Rush Limbaugh a secret agent for Barack Obama? There's no doubt that his ratings are higher when there is a Democrat in charge. Make it a black guy with a funny, Muslim-y name and we're talking pure gold here. Hell, not gold but platinum or onyx!
But this was so far over the top and played right to pissing off a key demographic that I had to wonder (and still do even though he has apologized) if Rush is helping the president with his re-election campaign. I know the conventional wisdom is that we need to all stop listening to Rush and then he will go away but now I don't think that's the case.
This, of course, adds another layer of fault to my line of thinking after the president won in 2008 when I spoke of the end of people like Rush fading into the sunset. After this recent gift, why on the heck would I want that? What was I thinking? How foolish of me....:)
I say, we need to keep him talking because he has to keep saying more and more offensive shit to be relevant in this day and age. Honestly, he doesn't really have a choice. The more he talks, the more independents run back to the president. That's why, in the face of departing sponsors, it's a good thing he apologized so now the very likely possibility of him losing control of himself again between now and the election remains intact.
Although I am little worried. Now that he has admitted fault, the perceptual framework that these folks have set up for themselves dictates that he is now weak and a pussy. Please don't let it be true!!!

Why did independents leave the president to begin with?
The short answer is the economy. For the most part, independents are a fickle lot who quickly change allegiances when things don't happen RIGHT NOW. In other words, their political depth is not that great, generally speaking. Nor is their attention span.
If you delve further into the data, you can see that they are generally fiscally conservative and socially liberal, hence the reason why the Democrats are very happy to have the debate shift from the economy (which is still tough) to social issues.
It's not really a surprise when you think about it, though, because the economy is doing better and, voila, the president's numbers go up even though, as we have discussed many times on here, the president doesn't really control the economy.
If you don't like women being called sluts, bimbos, boobs, etc then you will condemn all of the instances of name calling, not just those done by folks on the other team. Your outrage is very selective. You may say you condemn every instance but you only talk about certain ones on here. As long as they vote the way you do then it's all good.
Palin is a cunt!
