Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh announces end of 10-year marriage

Let's see what he says now about the sanctity of marriage now that his third has ended in divorce. I dare him to say anything!

I been with my partner since April 1985 and we're not allowed to try this thing called a "sacred marriage" even once.

Better luck next time Rush.

Well looks like its time for more of those narcotics for Rush.

Rush Limbaugh adds to the "sanctity of marriage" via his own divorce

The title of this [post] says it all for me.

I love that Limbaugh is joining Gingrich et al on the long list of those who champion the "sanctity of marriage" while they spit on the ideal/image they profess to uphold.

Limbaugh is now ending his THIRD marriage. Gee! sanctity like that you should be able to buy at the 7-11 down the street. Sergei replied

Rush L. is such a hypocrite about most things. He is drug addicted and breaks laws for his habit yet he attacks drug abusers. Attacks divorce and has been married repeatedly. He actually condones the torture of Iraqi prisoners. He said it was a way for troops to let off steam. He is a very sick person. Full of such hatred.

Well, obviously the marriage couldn't withstand the pressure from all those gays getting married in Massachusetts. We all know that straight marriages are going to crumble now that the gays are getting hitched. His may be the first of many.

This is Marta's third marriage, eh? She's 44 and they've been married 10 years, so that means she was 34 when she had already been married two times. Why even bother with marriage when you can't stay married? What's the use?

I don't listen to Rush much, if at all, but has he been spouting off about the sanctity of marriage as this thread's title indicates? I sure hope not, for someone who talks like that and has been married three times by the age of 54 isn't exactly practicing what he preaches.

Oh! The hypocrisy!


eftergivende replied

Limbaugh & Gingrich both use an old ploy: point the finger long enough at somebody else & maybe people won't notice what you're up to.

Oh, I much rather liked this being under the fat, drug-addled hypocrite's name (and I don't mean anyone on this board)! It's really a shame when gay people marrying in one state can drive an obese, pill-popping blowhard to abandon his wife, but you know, I guess J-Lo, who marries anything that's got brown skin and moves, or Brittany Spears, who doesn't even require that much, more than make up for it! Go girls!

Typical behavior from those "on the right."
Do as I say, not as I do.

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Twin58, I love it.

Once again someone must come in and clean up the falsehoods that are fantomas's posts.

First, Rush is not obese, even by medical terms. Have you even seen him lately, FT? I'm sure you haven't.

Second, his wife is the one who abandoned him. She was the one who filed for divorce. Apparently they were on the outs before he even entered rehab last fall.

That trademarked line has already been used once in this thread, Raze. Get on the ball. You're slipping. wink

A speed addiction can have that effect. But your right, Rush is no longer a big, fat idiot. He's merely a big idiot.

I'd take the "big" out of that description if you're going to be more accurate. He's not that tall, and he's dropped a ton of weight, which is good for him, of course (and anyone else who has struggled with a weight problem their whole lives).

"Big" is modifying "idiot" not Rush.

I see. wink

Of course you would be defending this lying dopehead, but let me be fairer to him. (Also, point out more "falsehoods that are my posts"--I usually back up what I'm saying with more than the breezy hypocritical nonsense you post on here most of the time. I mean, you can't even admit that you claimed to be a "judge" at one point, can you? The pot calling the kettle....)

At any rate, the nutty, lying pillpopping radio host is still a fatso. Not as fat, but he ain't Laura Flynn Boyle or Jim Carrey. Hey, what's his BMI? Does he fall under the "overweight" criterion? Do you know him well enough to know? You certainly claim to know key folks who're close to the Clintons and the Kerrys. (Hmmmm....) He's still an addled fathead, though. I mean, wasn't this the same creep making antic hay of the Abu Ghraib tortures? Of course you'd be defending him, "judge."

And yes, his wife is leaving him. I guess she couldn't compete with the pills. Life is tough, especially with a drug addict. Will he find a way to blame the failure of his marriage on queers, as so many on the heterosexual Right can't help doing about their own whorishness, infidelity and lack of commitment to their wives and children?

And if he does, will you RUSH to defend his big fat hateful lies about homos?

Who's defending him? If you had the ability to scroll up in this thread--it doesn't take much effort, give it a try--you'd see my opinion of him. I also don't listen to him.

I simply corrected your usual treasure trove of falsehoods. Rush was once obese. He has since lost a ton of weight, for which he is to be commended, as would be any overweight person who struggles to lose weight. I'm sure it's very difficult, seeing a relative of mine fighting this painful battle.

At least you fall into the typical liberal habit of personally attacking someone instead of attacking one's arguments or points. (I'd hate to see you change your tired, old ways.) Your name-calling and insult hurtling is really juvenile.

No, I usually respond to ideas, unlike you--you're the one making claims that you never back up. Or rather statements that you later deny. I mean, isn't there even a thread devoted to you specifically?

Say what you will about "typical liberals"--do you mean Isaiah Berlin-type liberals, or John Kenneth Galbraith-type liberals, or Rudy Giuliani-type liberals--but I do go out of my way with a hateful hypocritical druggie like Rush. This is the same slob who was calling to have poor people who used drugs locked up, yet when he does the same thing--and breaks the law in the process, forcing an employee to procure his pills for him--he finds every means to avoid taking responsibility. Now THAT's typical "right-wing" behavior, which you rarely criticize and even rush to defend.

As for "treasure troves", do you know Rush's BMI? Are you sure he's no longer "obese"? He sure ain't thin. I don't want to parse terms, but then you are (or claimed to be) an officer of the court, so precision does matter with you, doesn't it, "judge"?

Indeed. I've been honored here.

Well, YOU were the one who said he was obese. I do not personally know his BMI, but from what I do remember a couple months ago, when he was interviewed by some news guy (there was some resurrection of his ESPN fiasco), the interviewer mentioned to Rush that he looked "like a new man," to which Rush responded that he lost so much weight just to get to what was considered normal for his age.

Whewwwwww thats funny MIB, I guess you are the authority on falsehoods, right "judge?"

Finally, Raze! You got something correct.

Fine, here's an argument based on "conservative" anti-gay marriage points.

The "conservative" argument is that breeder marriage is "sacred," or at the very least so important to society that we must NEVER consider non-breeders to be equally committed or loving to one another, and must NEVER recognize non-breeder relationships. In fact, at the most extreme, "conservatives" argue that non-breeders are incapable of loving committed relationships equivalent to straight "marriage."

But what they never address, and certainly Rush baby doesn't, is that breeders are allowed as many attempts as possible to get their "marriages" right - in fact there is NOTHING a breeder can do that will eliminate his/her right to marriage - even murder.

Gays, on the other hand, are NEVER allowed even one chance to succeed at marriage.

Pointing out the dissolution of one of the most visible "conservative" people's marriage is pointing out the inherent hypocrisy of allowing some failures (and as they are both 3-time losers, maybe the Limbaughs should just give up on marriage) to continue wreaking the havoc that divorce causes society, while not even letting proven couples (like 50 year + Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon in SF) have the benefits, rights and obligations of marriage.

Thanks, CPT. He knows that I usually address the argument.

That said, I'll ask: are homosexuals to blame for the inabilities of Jennifer Lopez to stay married, or to not marry multiple times? Hallie Berry? Eddie Fisher? Richard Burton? Donald Trump? Newt Gingrich? Doris Duke? Rudy Giuliani? His Royal Highness the Aga Khan? Princess Diana's mother? Henry VIII?

I would add Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minnelli, but those two are a bit more tricky, at least in terms of this specific question....

:cool:

But I thought chics were property? In the Kitchen of course. Or at laundry time.

PF - why do you hate "chics?"

Raze, I dont know what you're talking about. I dig chics. Especially when they jump up and down. I've made this very clear.

What i do have a problem with is those babes who dont take care of their work at home. It's fine if you want to go make a little extra spending money for some new shoes or something... but.. when the cleaning and laudnry are not done in a timely manner... you have a problem.

So to answer your question, i dig chics.. i just dont think enough warm meals are served on time anymore.

"I think one of the smartest things we can do is to encourage families" by spending money on grants to states, faith-based organizations and community-based groups that "teach people what it means to be in a successful marriage," Bush told supporters at an alcohol and drug addiction services center.


Interesting....

To do what? To exist?

I find it interesting that articles can't quote an entire Bush statement when he's speaking without a script, because they don't make sense. They always have to fill in with wording outside of the quote marks to make it grammatically sound.

Ah, what a wonderful week. I have singlehandedly DESTROYED six different hetero-marriages so far. This may be a personal best.

And to think, I really haven't tried that hard. Sometimes all it takes is telling someone you are gay (or that someone else is), and their whole world comes crashing down.

At work that bitch Charleene was talkin' some smack about "Let Go, Let God." I couldn't help it..."when the f**k did God become a verb?"

Well, it just went downhill from there. Before I knew it she was quoting "scripture" about blasphemy, blah de da f**kin blah.

"Nothing blasphemes liked gay marriage, Charleene. Did you know Andy has a husband. Oops! Oh well, I guess maybe you didn't even know he was gay. My bad."
Charleene really couldn't appreciate this news. The Jesus juice started squirting out of her ears and I thought she was ready to keel over into a fetal position, speak in tongues, and beg for the rapture.

All of which is fine with me; the sooner this damned rapture gets here the happier I'll be.

[laughter] Ohhhh, sorry. I can't resist. Who am I kiddin'? There ain't gonna be any rapture! I was just being wishful.

Stu, I thought you said you weren't naughty!? eek!

Woo hoo, good job AU Tiger, keep up the good work!

That's good for a toaster oven, right?

WAR DAMN EAGLE!

Watch out... technically, Liza was a unwitting participant in at least one gay marriage. wink
