FAIL Quote of the Day: Stab the unemployed in the back? You’re a (Republican) hero

| »

Yup, it’s more Rush Limbaugh craziness. Here’s what the odious gasbag said on the subject of jackass Senator Jim Bunning (R-KY) deliberately obstructing the progress of the extension of unemployment benefits that over one million jobless Americans desperately need:

Transcript below, courtesy of Politicususa:

C’mon, everybody knows these unemployment benefits are going to be extended. It’s going to get done. This is how the Democrats play the game, trying to make it look like Bunning doesn’t care. What Bunning knows is that this country is fit to be tied over this out of control spending. Jim Bunning knows that there is more anger in this country over spending then there is over any other issue. There is more anger over spending, and the economy, and the lack of jobs, and Jim Bunning is a hero here for trying to get the Senate to abide by their pay go rules.”

You know, people often comment on how aloof and disconnected from reality Limbaugh is … but when it comes to the point where he actually believes that it’s the Democrats who are somehow out to demonize Bunning, when Bunning himself is the one who obviously doesn’t give a shit about unemployed people and their problems, and not only that, but that Bunning will somehow be seen as a hero by the Republican base and that the GOP will somehow come out favorably in this – then he’s just completely fucking insane.

Rush Limbaugh, your astonishing lack of a grip on reality, along with your standard oozing contempt for the poor and the needy that is pervasively apparent through your endless driveling, is why you FAIL.
