Using irreverent humor to blast the politicizing of California's wildfires, radio giant Rush Limbaugh today adopted some anti-war war logic to call for the firefighters to be brought home.

"I think it's time to bring the firefighters home. I think it's time to bring the firefighters out of there – it's just too dangerous," Limbaugh said on his top-rated program, noting the front-line responders were in grave danger. "They're in there on a false premise anyway, that they can put out the fire. We can't win against the fire, folks, just like we can't win in Iraq. So if the liberals want to politicize this, then I ask them to be consistent and admit defeat to the fire, admit we can't beat the fire and get these brave firefighters out of there ... ."

Furthermore, there’s no way the fire has destroyed all those buildings. Fire can’t melt steel!

This is why Limbaugh is still one of the best.

Some common sense goes along way, the way he gets people to think about things.

We shouldn’t be involved in a Civil War of Mother Nature.

"It's just gonna be back next year anyway. We're putting so many brave people at risk here fighting a fire we can't win.

I love Rush but he's slippin'.

What about the cost of fighting these fires. We could insure 40 million children for the cost of fighting these fires.

Rush’s humor makes good sense, considering that Al-Qaeda is probably behind the fires, anyway!

The National Guard is stretched too thin, and they don’t have enough equipment!

The fire was set by Rove - Speak Truth To Power!!

No Water For Oil!

And yet, somewhere, some moonbats in the press will be barking about how cold and uncaring Rush and Conservatives are regarding those poor Californians who've lost their homes and all their belongings to the fires - how dare he be so cruel!

The will have completely missed the point, of course.

Heck, they went into to fight those fires without UN Support, a coalition of nations, and it was all for W to make up for fires in California during his father's term.

The bad news is Hans Blix could go to Southern California and find no evidence of fires and our MSM would report that to the exclusion of all else.
