Limbaugh Is Still A Big Fat Idiot

I normally don't post much about the stupid things Rush Limbaugh says on his radio program for a few reasons. First, I don't want to give him any more publicity than he already gets. Second, he has the right to say what he wants about elected officials no matter how stupid it is. These officials put themselves up for criticism when they chose to run for public office, and as adults, they are perfectly capable of defending themselves. Third, most people already know he's an idiot. But attacking poor children is so far beyond the pale that I feel I must say something.

Limbaugh, who has many millions of dollars, is now upset that the government might actually give poor children a nutritious meal during the summer while school is out. On his June 16th show he opposes the feeding of poor children (even though he obviously misses no meals himself) and suggests that if poor children want to eat they should go "dumpster diving". And he even has the audacity to suggest that he is being of benefit to these children by making this suggestion.

If you have a strong stomach and can control your anger enough not to throw objects at your computer screen, this is what he said:

"You know, one of the benefits of school being out, in addition to your kids losing weight because they're starving to death out there because there's no school meal being provided, one of the benefits of school being out, college campi being vacant this time of year, is that our audience levels go up. I think, you know what we're going to do here, we're going to start a feature on this program: "Where to find food." For young demographics, where to find food. Now that school is out, where to find food. We can have a daily feature on this. And this will take us all the way through the summer. Where to find food. And, of course, the first will be: "Try your house." It's a thing called the refrigerator. You probably already know about it. Try looking there. There are also things in what's called the kitchen of your house called cupboards. And in those cupboards, most likely you're going to find Ding-Dongs, Twinkies, Lays ridgy potato chips, all kinds of dips and maybe a can of corn that you don't want, but it will be there. If that doesn't work, try a Happy Meal at McDonald's. You know where McDonald's is. There's the Dollar Menu at McDonald's and if they don't have Chicken McNuggets, dial 911 and ask for Obama.

There's another place if none of these options work to find food; there's always the neighborhood dumpster. Now, you might find competition with homeless people there, but there are videos that have been produced to show you how to healthfully dine and how to dumpster dive and survive until school kicks back up in August. Can you imagine the benefit we would provide people?"

It is amazing to me that this porcine piece of crap can even bring himself to say such a mean-spirited thing out loud -- let alone on nationwide radio. He may think that's funny. I don't. How can he be fine with spending over a trillion dollars to fight two unnecessary wars and oppose the government spending a modest amount to make sure poor children get at least one nutritious meal a day? That makes no sense at all.

How can people listen to this idiot on the radio without throwing up?
