Bill would name new federal courthouse for the late Rush Limbaugh

Well, anyone who questions health matters is apparently a food nazI to you, so I feel entitled to ask. You said I was acting like one, right?

OK, at what point might bodyfat dispose a person to say, metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes?

Perhaps you think that wouldn't shorten a person's life?

Answer, please.

[HungarianGypsy]

I got scared for a second there.

Ha! So was I. I wondered how I missed that one.

[rface]

don't ruin a perfectly good Limbaugh thread with a stupid food fight

[NonValueAdded]

Whoa ... can we start calling Rush "trip"?

[peggybac]

What is the reason Rush and Marta split up? I really never heard much about the divorce. Do you know?

[gaijin]

OK, look, you're right. And I know how bad this would pi$$ Rush off --he hates people who fuss over food.

But lemme tell you, Rush is not young, and Rush is DEFINATELY not svelte, the way he was for a while, there.

Hey, OK...he doesn't have to be svelte. He doesn't have to be any thinner than pretty fat. But it's getting OUT OF CONTROL, again.

I really, really cannot see who would replace Rush, if he up and dropped dead. We wouldn't be sunk, but we'd be in deep kim-chee, for sure.

[California74]

And he's fat as hell, again.
I just saw him on that Katie Couric freedom of speech clip on his website... he's not that fat! I thought he looked pretty good, actually.

[rface]

I want Rush to be healthy and to live a long time. This Nation owes him much.

I think that he has a pet cat (Punkin) adds a few years to his life

[Lancey Howard]

Great post. BUMP

[gaijin]

I actually don't know the reason why Rush and Marta split up, and even though I think it's OK if you care, I just cannot.

Regarding Marta one small complaint I had is that when they were an item he started to go long on the golf-related schpiels, which I richly disliked.

The last I heard she'd started a health-related magazine, and I think it folded.

But I really liked the idea that Rush would be around a long time to buoy us, and terrorize liberals.

I mean...why should AL FRANKEN be the healthy one...?!

Hopefully he'll fall under a bus, or start mainlining heroin, or something.

[beckysueb]

That's one small thing about Marta I did like --I knew that as long as he ate HER way,

Ahh. So she was responsible for his weight loss. I missed several monthes of listening to Rush around the time of their divorce. I was really shocked to find out they got a divorce. Did he ever say why? Anyone?

[BlazingArizona]

Will it have an Excellence In Barristry courtroom with a golden EIB gavel?

And a legal code on loan from God.

[Tall_Texan]

What do you bet the Democrats go absolutely Apesh*t over this? It won't matter that it's not named for the radio host. Thinking is never a Democrat strong suit. They will just reflexively stage protests, act classless and make threats. It's what they do best.

[gaijin]

Yeah, Marta was his PHYSICAL TRAINER --she ran his a$$ off.

And it was her idea after their marriage that she and Rush hire a live-in cook, an idea they went through with.

And when the left continued their, "Rush is a fat a$$" inertia blather, he was fit as a fiddle.

[mojo114]

Calm your body fat down- what about the "liberaldom line"? You served that one up-

[TravisBickle]

NO court house should cost the taxpayers 50 million IMHO

Cape Girardeau is a really nice town and all, but $50M? I can't imagine that busy of a docket.

[gaijin]

"liberaldome" is a made-up word; it refers to all liberalism.

free --> freedom, liberal --> "liberaldom" [sic]

[al baby]

When Rush goes, I'd say that's like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all rolled into one.

Not even close

I listen to and love rush for over 15 years

[mojo114]

Rush has never said anything at all about the break up with Marta.

[SuziQ]

The name will send them into hysterics, and they will demand that the Rats block the bill for naming the courthouse. I would bet cash money on it.

LOL!! I was thinking the very same thing! Most libs would have a Linda Blair moment!
