Rush Limbaugh has become more egotistical and obnoxious than ever before. Already making clear his hope that President Obama’s programs fail, and having become in many people’s minds the image of the Republican party despite his low personal public opinion rating, he now has gone one step further in yet another outrage.
Rush declared today that the President’s health care initiative, were it to be passed, would be named the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Act, therefore predicting the death of the "Lion of the Senate". This horrible statement matches the insanity of Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky, who a couple of weeks ago predicted the death within nine months of Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who like Kennedy is a cancer patient.
How low and gross and lacking in class can public figures descend! Both should be ashamed of themselves, but imagine this. Senator Bunning issued an inadequate apology, misspelling Ginsberg’s last name twice in a printed statement. That puts him way above Rush Limbaugh, who one could not expect would have the character to withdraw his statement and apologize. How this man can have anyone listen to him and endorse his views is beyond understanding, but it is clear that there are millions of Americans who have no dignity and class, just as those who represent them, such as Rush, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and Michael Savage. This is, unfortunately, the price one must pay for a free society, that those who have no respectability can still obtain an audience from those who enjoy gross behavior and character assassination!
I think every time Rush is mentioned, people should be reminded that he is a drug addicted criminal.
