" Ladies and gentleman, my theory that I just explained to you about why -- you know, what could have John Edwards' motivations been to have the affair with Rielle Hunter, given his wife is smarter than he is and probably nagging him a lot about doing this, and he found somebody that did something with her mouth other than talk. I think I can back this up from her.
We have a sound bite. This is February 2007. She was on the tabloid show Extra. And this is what she said. Listen very carefully.
HUNTER [audio clip]: The whole experience was life-altering for me. One of the great things about John Edwards is that he's so open and willing to try new things and do things in new ways.
LIMBAUGH: "Open to new things." Folks, it is what it is. You get mad at me for bringing the truth to you, but it is what it is. "
Yep. Really.

Oh, Jesus.
It's just...it's not even worth it.

Besides, it was up the butt, not in her mouth, that he liked best.
no, it's just rush doing what he does: creating headlines and spurring controversy. the more people are talking about him, the more people tune in to hear what crazy sh*t he'll say next. up go the ratings and up goes his check.
wanna know how to stop rush? ignore him. when the media stops paying attention to him, he'll have to go too far to try to get their attention again and finally get booted off the air when he does.
but it'll never happen because the people who despise rush will never ever do it. hence, his controversial comments will get reported by on and denounced by the left who will demand the media pay attention to him. by doing so they up his street cred with the zealots on the right. he won't say anything that is actionable by the fcc, so it'll be a tempest in a teapot, but it'll keep him in the news and the cycle will continue.
I hate it when Papa's right. Thank God it happens so infrequently.
Ay, papi! And yet somehow I think Papa's comments won't stop this from turning into a looooooong-ass thread with tons of "outrage".
Use yer brainz, kidz!!

Oh Come on, can't I have any fun? Since my cardiologist made me give up Coulter-cising, Rush rage is the only exercise I get!

Look at him and re-read that quote! Here he is with one of the many many women he's had sex with.
