Is That All You Got?

What’s the saying? Never tug on Superman’s cape? Well, even Rush would have to agree that Superman is a bit of a stretch—maybe Chubby-Hard-of-Hearing-Lovable-Little-Fuzzball-Man. And that’s not a cape, but a terry cloth robe:

New Limbaugh billboard slogan announced - creativity was not considered

Setting a world record today for beating a dead horse, the Democratic National Committee will announce they’ve selected an anti-Rush Limbaugh slogan to be placed on a billboard in the radio host’s hometown.

The DNC began soliciting slogans a week ago in response to Limbaugh’s well-known statement that he wants President Obama to fail.

“If you’re anything like me, then you’ve had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times. Now you can,” reads an email blast from the executive director of the DNC. “Can you help us come up with a message for Rush that we’ll place on a billboard right in his hometown?”

The envelope please

That message has apparently been decided. CNN is reporting that the billboard will say, “Americans didn’t vote for a Rush to failure.”

Apparently, more than 80,000 slogans were emailed in and astonishingly all were somehow deemed worse than that one.

When the billboard inevitably gets pelted with tomatoes and eggs, how will we know whether they were for Rush or for the lame-o slogan? You can bet that Rush will try to claim credit, the publicity hog.

When Democrats get beyond single words—hope, change, Bushitler—they tend to lose their way. Like President Obama without a, uh, TelePrompter.

They should have asked me—I’m pretty good with the classless, ad hominem, gratuitous, low-rent insult.

And I love Rush, absolutely love him.

“We hope you get cancer, you bloated bloviator.”

That captures the liberal mindset in eight words.

Man, they miss me.

    Or as Biden would say, “…seven words.”

    You always could, you moron. You just pick up the phone and dial the toll-free number given out by most hosts every five minutes.
