More Rush

Sometimes I just like the low hanging fruit.

As Rush continues to lose sponsors in the wake of his calling a perfectly nice, respectful young woman a prostitute and slut just because she thinks contraceptives should be covered for women the same way men's birth control is covered, Rush is now seeking to blame Obama and "leftists".

He blames Obama because, well, you know. Obama is responsible for every negative thing that ever happens. He's part of a cabal that controls every aspect of your life, no matter how minute or how much someone not under paranoid delusions might think is the product of your own decisions. One of the best things about the Obama paranoia of Rush and his acolytes is that it's so determinist. Obama controls all and is responsible for all, hence anything that happens to me isn't my fault. Obama made me call Sandra Fluke a prostitute and a slut. Hilarious.

Equally hilarious, Rush apologizes, in the usual non-apology sort of way of the infamous and cowardly. You know, the "if anyone was offended" sort of apology. Hell, we wouldn't be here if large numbers of people weren't offended. He manages to throw in a bit of his own spin to that by apologizing for behaving like the leftists who so often attack him.

Right. 'Cause Rush was just some babe in the woods, respectfully advocating for conservative causes when people from the "left", which I suppose is Barry Goldwater and anyone to the left of him, started attacking Rush. He never said anything insulting about people who disagreed with him before anyone attacked him. He's a fine exemplar of respectful public discourse who had a minor slip in the Fluke matter.

Breaking News! Brooklyn Bridge for Sale! Cheap!

Rush is, quite possibly, more responsible for the decline in the civility of public discourse than anyone in America. That he now cries that he's a victim of leftist attacks is a pillar of hypocrisy that may never be exceeded.

I hope enough of his advertisers withdraw that he gets dropped altogether, but that's doubtful. A pipe dream, but a fond one.
