From The Daily Show March 3, 2009. Stewart takes on the GOP's fearless leader Rush Limbaugh by reminding us all of just what a great compassionate conservative he is and he hits Michael Steele for his spinelessness for not standing up to him. He even manages to get a shot in at good old Bill-O for his culture wars to boot before he's finished. Well done Jon!
If anyone thought the late night comedians were going to run out of material when Bush left office they were sadly mistaken. The drama queens on the right are proving to be an endless supply of punch lines. It's too bad they're willing to take our country into the abyss while providing it.

Been fallin asleep too early lately to catch TDS and TCR. :(
If you are near cable tv you can catch the rerun the next morning at ten o'clock on the comedy channel. Jon at ten and then Colbert next.
That's when I see them.
it comes on again at 8pm too...but that's my Countdown time...
Guess. I'll have to stay up late.
Computer doesn't stream? You post here you must be on-line ;)
Here's the link.
Funny, when bush was finally gone, I was wondering what these guys would have to joke about and then it hit me, we still have the republican party.
unfortunately
I think I'd still make the trade.
Hypocrites with third grade level intelligence. They don't even try to hide it, and no one is suppose to see it.
:D
Don't remember who said it, but someone, Letterman maybe..said el rashbo looked like an eastern European gangster.
Slicked back hair, black coat, black silk shirt unbuttoned a bit too far...
Like a sweating, slicked-back, drug-addled middle-aged man wearing the latest in thirtysomething-douchebag threads.
to be 30something-douchebag. Rush should wear fancy pointy Italian crocodile shoes, with fancy torn designer jeans, a white shirt open all the way to his navel. Of course, ridiculous amounts of fake tan cream, and hair gel should be applied liberally all over.
Diamond ring, and bling accessories are optional.
Instead Rush just looked like a bad James Bond villain. Heck his appearance in a large screen, spewing nothing but ridiculous claims and threats... sort of hinted me that is what he was going for. He needs a pet of some sort, preferably an evil looking cat.
...and the orange hue of the artificially tanned, and the Corey Hart night-time/indoor sunglasses...So maybe the problem was he only took the douchebag thing to the half measure.
you can't be a real douchebag without them...
A guido Limbaugh would be the ultimate in douchebagery. I don't think the world could handle that...
bonus marks for you, Andy, in referencing a has-been Canadian pop idol!
and it is the dream of rash to be a bad James Bond villain...
code name: fat job
martial skill: the 'jowl shake'
'henching' for: reagan's maggoty corpse
:D
and a giant gold medallion on his hairy chest...
Someone should tell him, when you get THAT FAT, the all-black-is-slimming-thing doesn't work. It actually makes him look even bigger.
He looks like a bowling ball! LOL!
...many years ago. The great singer wore a teal colored dress that I found out later cost $50,000 dollars. Unfortunately Ms. Franklin was so big that she practically poured out of the dress.
Memo to Rush: When you're well past 300 lb's, you look good only in the dark, not in dark.
But we adore Miss Aretha, so she can do as she likes!!!!
I'd love her in a potato sack dress.

Though I despise the current Republican Party, it's almost sad to see how it's been utterly hijacked and destroyed by people like Cheney and Gingrich and DeLay.
I'm sure Charles Percy, Howard Baker and Edward Brooke are not amused -- not to mention Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.
When the grandchildren of Ike and Barry Goldwater decide to vote for the Democratic nominee -- in last fall's case, Barack Obama -- you know you're drifted far from the moorings.
They cannot in good conscience continue to use the label "Party of Lincoln" -- but, of course, they don't have consciences.
If George Wallace were alive today, he would be a Republican.
Wallace was a Fascist, no matter what party he sucked up to.
I for one am starting to lose my sense of humor about these clowns. If they were not taken seriously by so many millions it might be a funny but how much evidence does it take for people to understand that they have been 100% wrong about everything for about 30+ years? The American public needs to start loudly rejecting these right wing Fascists and raising hell with the MSM that insists on calling for their opinions on every issue. Enough already. The daily show always does a great job of pointing out the insanity but they come back and back and back.
As Colbert noted at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner:
"Now, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32 percent approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in 'reality'. And reality has a well-known liberal bias. ... Sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half empty, because 32% means it's two-thirds empty. There's still some liquid in that glass, is my point. But I wouldn't drink it. The last third is usually backwash"
People who thought critically and compared Republican propaganda to observable reality left that party a long time ago. The remaining people are probably single issue voters who will not be persuaded by liberal diversions like truth, facts or reality.
Aw, Heather. The Mess O'Potamia clip from March 3rd 2009 is so much better.

I hope the Reslugs welcome Limp-Dick Blimpo as their ignorant, intolerant, bigoted, racist, leader forever. The Reslugs will hopefully slide down the sewer forever with Blimpo's spewing his absolute hatred and stupidity.
I believe the guy's name is Steve King, he is a member of the House. He introduced a bill today to declare victory in Iraq. He wants to make it clear now that Pres Obama has set time limits, that from now on the war in Iraq is Pres Obama's war. Norah O'Donald took him to task today on her show.
Since I never see Rush except on clips and such, is he getting bigger, or I should say heavier, every day? I mean at CPAC he looked like guys do when they take steroids. He's neck and head are even big.
All that blubber bouncing up and down is disgusting. As my dad would say, he looks like something the cat drug in and couldn't eat.
Culture war. What culture???
(The right for) Fat blimps to eat drive-through junk food hamburgers? I can't think of anything else. Can you?
“America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.” Oscar Wilde
move beyond Rush Limbaugh?
Oh, sure, but for now, he's "da man" to ridicule.
Make sure everyone knows.
He's too large, we can't get around him or beyond him.
The CPAC freaks who have hijacked the Republican party have exposed the weakness of the two party system. Where is a conservative to go if they don't follow the current leaders? They end up as blue dogs fucking up my party. I don't want a conservative sect of my party. I became a Democrat expressly because they weren't conservatives. Because I am a liberal and believe in liberal ideals.
For those Republicans out there who don't follow Rush/Hannity/Billo/Boner/Cantor I offer this advice. Jump ship! Grab Ron Paul and his type and just start up the conservative party. Take our blue dogs, they don't belong where they are.
Jon keeps me sane.
"...color-coordinated with his soul." About says it all, doesn't it.
How can anyone be so spiteful, so malicious and not explode from sheer hate? And the worst thing is I don't think he actually believes most of what comes out of his mouth. He brings nothing to the national table but paranoia and distrust. He likes making people angry, he enjoys being cruel, he wants to see the world burn. Maybe he's the Joker...
The only ones will to say anything worth saying, the rest are all bought and paid for.
Good to see you, Bob! Where have you been?
I was just talking to someone about you and we wondered where you were. I am so very glad to see you back here again. I have sincerely missed you. Welcome back to the chatter. :)
We've been sooooooooooo worried! Glad to hear from you!
because he's not a member of the WGA.
He is, however, a member of both AFTRA and SAG. (well, MAYBE Fi-Cor, All the benefits of the Guilds and their protections, but he doesn't vote)
Obama needs to debate the winner of the leadership of the Republican Party. First the GOP must decide who their leader is. If Rush Limbaugh wins the debate with the other GOP politicians then perhaps Obama should debate him. But only if Rush proves he is the leader of the GOP as he claims he is.
Obama doesn't have to debate anybody until 2012. If the Repubs nominate Limbaugh, the Gasbo will have his chance. I think you'll see the White House back away now from Limbaugh, but the DNC etc will still have fun with it. And, believe me, the Democrats can only gain by demonizing both the Wall Street wing of the Republican party and the right-wing cultural conservative wing. Just remember, when Repubs protests against rolling back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy, just remind them that Wall Street executives, hedge fund managers and unscrupulous mortgage lenders are rooting for the Repubs to not have to pay more. And while Limbaugh and the echo machine are happy where they're at on the extreme right, most GOP politicians are VERY uncomfortable.
Wile Limbaugh provides a convenient and visceral target to attack, one has to wonder why C & L did not decide to provide this clip [The Power of TV] from The Daily Show where Stewart surprisingly but most effectively demonstrates what little difference there is between the Obama and Bush administrations.

Interesting point. One I'm sure will be met with more Rush bashing or ancillary attacks.
How can I make this controversy between Limbaugh and Steele as much about me as possible?
so the republiKKKan attack dog media mouths are trying to guilt the Obama WH into leaving the truth about repugliKKKans off the table and out of the spotlight. I guess that's what we should expect from them. As rush forces the implosion of the repugniKKKan party. It's Obama's fault again.
Pathetic as usual. And the media jackals wonder why no one wants to watch their charade.
First they try to blame the Dems for the failure of 'bipartisanship', now it's Obama'a fault that the (RL)epuglyKKKans worship at the altar of the Ozymandias of Oycontin.
Gofigure.
The Republicans would bill a match up between Limbaugh and Obama the fight of the century. After all, who in their Party can go up against Obama and not get their head handed to them? Not Bobby Gentle. It's back to the basic defense we use when a opponent cannot match his rival: Back of the bus name calling and other childish shit kids do in adolescents.
Don't forget, there is no one in the Republican Party who can deliver a good old immature fight to at least give their base supporters a fight they are familiar with. Childish but classic Republican standard procedure.

I said to my sister this past Sunday that someone should have Rush do a Jabba the Hutt parady. But like some women, "Jabba the who?" she would say. I thought everyone knows about the princess Lea in that slave outfit with Jabba, being the fantasy of every boy who saw Star Wars.
My other parady I thought of when I think of Rush is the Frank Herbet novel "Dune" and the evil spice leaders. Harkonnen
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/aa...
And I like your reference to "Dune."
Over the years a lot of people referenced Darth Vadar when writing about Dick Cheney... but Rush is a much more thouroughly disgusting character. Vadar showed some intelligence and fortitude which was a fair comparison because Cheney is no dummy. Rush, on the other hand is simply a completer SLIME BALL who displays NO socially redeeming characteristics... so Jabba the Hutt FITS. Wasn't the Harkonen LORD the guy who dripped his own BILE thru taps into his lymphatic system... and sucked the blood and bile of small furry creatures living in glass viles? sounds like something Rush would do while on the air (as we don't see him on TV... he's just talking into that GOLDEN MIKE thingy in a studio room somewhere in Florida.
Rush making fun of Michael J. Fox's medical condition is as low as it gets. Mike can't help his shaking. Rush is just an arrogant numbskull and nothing more. Jon Stewart cracks me up! All I can say is the Republicans are smooching Rush's posterior and Rush enjoys it! That makes Rush a weirdo!
Michael Steele is a Muppet!
if is looking to cater to Limbaugh, he is more concerned about listening to his own vocal inflections than being a true conservative. Where the party’s Odysseus? Today we are left with fetid pundits inciting polarized extremism, unfitting suitors filling Penelope’s palace defiling her home.
oh yeah and Jon Stewart is a force of reality the GOP fears with all it's black heart and no soul.
Yo the man! Yo the man! said the pretty white church lady.
.
Dear Michael Steele,
Has anyone ever told you that you don't have to ride on the back of ...
... The (R)ushpublickin' LimpBUS?
.
.
I thought Bill-doh O'Liely was the "Culture Warrior"...
... Fighting that culture war!
Now he says it's the Liberal Democrats?
.
.
The wheels on the bus go round and round...
Q U E S T I O N:
How can you tell who's a (R)ushpublickin'?
.
.
.
.
.
.
Because their high from sucking the fumes coming out of the tail pipe of...
...The (R)ushpublickin' LimpBUS!
Or for short...
... A (R)ushbreath!
... He's such a clown!
.
I wonder if the GOP leadership taped Steele getting his whipping from Massa Rush? Perhaps they should release the video as a warning to all future tokens.
As the Republicans go into hysteria mode, seems like they're providing even more fodder for late night comedians. They look like a bunch of clowns. How does anyone take these people seriously?

Jon's take on CNBC was even better from last night.
He made more sense of the economic news that the fools and tools that are propped up to "inform" us in the first place.
Jon is able to make me laugh the serious sick facts out of my gut when laughing so hard. Which prevents ulcers from developing.
Watching Stewart is better than taking Oxicodine.........
