Assclown of the Week: Rush Limbaugh

I can't believe it took so long for Rush to attain our assclown of the week, but here he is with all his foot in mouth glory.

On the August 21 broadcast of the nationally syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show, a caller said to host Rush Limbaugh: "I know I'm no expert in foreign affairs, but what really confuses me about the liberals is the hypocrisy when they talk about how we have no reason to be in Iraq and helping those people, but yet everybody wants us to go to Darfur." Limbaugh responded by claiming Democrats "want to get us out of Iraq, but they can't wait to get us into Darfur." He continued: "There are two reasons. What color is the skin of the people in Darfur? It's black. And who do the Democrats really need to keep voting for them? If they lose a significant percentage of this voting bloc, they're in trouble." The caller responded, "The black population," to which Limbaugh said, "Right."

First, I don't see the democrats doing anything about Darfur. They are just as chicken shit as the Republicans. Outside of Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Charles Rangel I cannot even recall anyone bringing the subject up. Second, four hundred thousand people are dead and are dying, not to mention "scores" in this war torn country recently have died in flooding in the region. But, he thinks democrats will try and score points with the black population in America by going into Sudan? Third, democrats really don't cozy up to black americans unless it is election time and when they do it is usually something like, "what are you going to do, vote Republican?"

ASSCLOWN.

He is certainly deserving and could have won any day of the year. Perhaps TSG should have a Assclown Emeritus award for guys like Bush, Cheney, Rush etc whose whole existence is assclownish.

very true. Assclown Emeritus when they do win. Rove could win every week, though he is gone, but I am sure he will solidify that status outside of the WH.

Or maybe eventually we just call it the GOP award.
