See...shows how when you LIE there are a certain number of people that are going to believe your lie. I support stem cell research too...what does that tell you?

UH-----OHHHHHHHHH I wonder why Jim Webb wrote books in which a father grabs his son, turns him upside down, and sticks his you know what in his mouth? from Webb's book. "Lost Soldiers" p.333: ...shirtless man walked toward them along a mud pathway. His muscles were young and hard, but his face was devastated with wrinkles. His eyes were so red that they appeared to be burned by fire. A naked boy ran happily toward him from the little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy's penis in his mouth." Seems Webb likes to write about pedophelia and incest....but even more, I hear that a lot of Webb's references to WOMEN portray women as servile, subordinate, inept, incompetent, promiscuous, or perverted , What say you, pompy?

Everyone knows Rush Limbaugh's just faking Oct. 27, 2006. 01:00 AM LINWOOD BARCLAY thestar.com Now, I know this may offend those who suffer from this particular condition, and these individuals might not like it much when I suggest that a certain person with this diagnosis is exaggerating his symptoms, but I have to say, I think Rush Limbaugh is just pretending to be a dick. While the right-wing radio host does exhibit most, if not all, of the common characteristics of this behaviour, it's so rare for all of them to coalesce at a single moment that one can only conclude Limbaugh's most recent performances are nothing short of fraudulent. I'm no expert diagnostician, but nobody could be this big a one. Limbaugh must be acting. Consider what Rush Limbaugh said this week about Michael J. Fox. The Canadian-born actor did an ad for a U.S. politician who supports stem cell research, a controversial field that many believe could lead to a cure for Parkinson's disease. Fox suffers from Parkinson's, and anyone who has seen him in television interviews in the last few years is aware of his symptoms. Awkward, involuntary movements, occasional speech difficulty, tremors. Those symptoms are much in evidence in the ad. Said Limbaugh on his radio show: "He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's clearly an act." Limbaugh also suggested Fox probably went off his medication before filming the ad. It's difficult to imagine that anyone could say anything so amazingly uninformed, so incredibly moronic, and actually believe it. That's why I'm so convinced Limbaugh was acting. At this point, it's probably useful to review the most common symptoms exhibited by a person with EDS (extreme dick syndrome) for those not up to speed on them: 1. Exhibits a level of arrogance rooted in a feeling of superiority, without having any attributes to feel superior about. 2. Is capable of achieving levels of hypocrisy (railing against drug addicts when you are one, for example) previously thought unattainable. 3. Blow-hardedness. 4. Is indifferent to the woes and misfortunes of the disadvantaged. 5. Lies his ass off. 6. Goes to the "6 items or less" checkout with a dozen things. 7. Never lets ignorance of a subject keep him from shooting his mouth off about it. 8. Believes facts are overrated. 9. Chews with his mouth open. 10. Always finds some little thing the waitress did wrong to justify not leaving a tip. Anyone who has four or more of these symptoms is very likely suffering from EDS. Sadly, at the moment there's no known cure for this condition. Researchers are still debating whether you're born with it, or it's a lifestyle choice. The real problem is, people with this condition don't make for a very sympathetic cause. But in Limbaugh's case, it's probably a moot point, since he's just putting on a show. My guess, in fact, is that Rush Limbaugh is a liberal plant. A Democratic plant. The Democrats, who appear to be on the verge of winning back both houses of Congress, don't want to leave anything to chance. What better way to turn things their way than for a prominent spokesperson for the right wing (nudge nudge, wink wink) to say something so astonishingly and despicably vile that it will make fair-minded Republicans vote Democrat, or at the very least, stay home. I know these statements of mine are going to enrage genuine sufferers of EDS everywhere. "How dare he say that!" they'll say. "We know we're rude and insensitive and total jerks 24/7, and he's got a lot of nerve suggesting otherwise." I will say this, however. If it can be determined by an independent panel of experts that Rush Limbaugh is, in fact, a dick, I will apologize, unreservedly. Reach Linwood Barclay by email at lbarclay@thestar.ca.

‘World’s Worst’ Person: Rush Limbaugh COMMENTARY Countdown <video> msnbc.msn.com By Keith Olbermann Anchor Updated: 11:13 a.m. ET Oct 27, 2006 Every night at 8 p.m. on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann awards his daily pick for "Worst Person in the World." Some contenders are lucky — or unlucky —enough to be nominated more than once. The Bronze for Thursday is shared by the Ohio Republican Party. It issued a news release attacking Democrat Sherrod Brown for “enlisting the help of Al Franken.” The news release contained not only a doctored photograph, but a fabricated quote from Franken saying conservatives should take poison and die. The quote was taken from a book by Bernard Goldberg, who made it up, as part of a satirical interview with Franken. Our runner-up is Representative Jean Schmidt of Ohio. Her campaign is upset because her opponent, Victoria Wulsin is running campaign ads including clips of the rant Schmidt unleashed last year when she called John Murtha a coward. They say that is against House rule and the opponents “continued violation will land her in serious trouble with the House Ethics Committee.” Which would imply that her opponent has already beaten Congresswoman Schmidt and replaced her in the House—she’s not in the House now. But the winner, comedian Rush Limbaugh, having buried himself by calling Michael J. Fox a faker in those Missouri campaign ads. Having put up his own headstone by saying the symptoms a Parkinson’s suffer gets when he stops taking his medication include shaking, actually it’s immobility. Rush has defaced his own memorial today saying of Fox, “Every one of his ads is run for the benefit of a Democrat, even in Maryland, where the Democrat beneficiary of the Michael J. Fox ad voted against exactly what Michael J. Fox advocates in the ad.” That would be Benjamin Cardin. Actually, Mr. Cardin voted for the stem cell bill Fox endorsed. So Rush you're 0-4, and as to the Democrats-only part, you really need to look at the ad we showed last night from 2004 with Mr. Fox endorsing Republican Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania: 0-5. Who’s off his meds and is exaggerating the effects of his illness? Comedian Rush Limbaugh, that’s who! Thursday's “Worst Person in the World.” © 2006 MSNBC Interactive URL: msnbc.msn.com
