Michael Steele’s conciliatory teabagging of Rush Limbaugh goes horribly awry
I’m a bit under the weather tonight with some weird bronchial thing (if you bump into someone in San Diego who sounds like both Barry White and Brenda Vaccaro, offer me a lozenge). So, when you’re kind of worn out, reach for the low hanging fruit.
Which means, of course…RedState.
Here, E Pluribus Unum (and that’s his bolding), works off the Limbaugh contact high he contracted from Eric The RedState:
Monday Michael Steele got taken behind the woodshed by Limbaugh, de-trousered and birched but good. To put it mildly, he had it coming, and I personally enjoyed it. However, if you heard Steele’s ‘apology’ it’s clear he didn’t learn his lesson, and if he does not figure it out very quickly, he will set new records for ‘Least Noticed Person In America’.
So I ask: Hey, anybody else want some? McConnell? Boehner? McCain and the rest of the RMSP party traitors? The gang at Weekly Standard? O’Reilly? Would any more of you high-ranking muckety-mucks in the Republican Party, and self-appointed ‘conservative’ pundits, like to dish (yet again) on conservatives and conservatism?
[...]
Rush Limbaugh is a formidable force. Do you know why? Because he says what conservatives believe, and he is extraordinarily articulate, witty, insightful, and yes, courageous. There is a very large portion of Americans that still strongly believe what the Founding Fathers believed, and don’t care much for what Alinsky and Marx believed. You might think Rush (and his 20 million listeners) gauche, obtuse, obvious, unsophisticated, and ignorant.
We’ll stop right here and point out that he probably meant "oblivious" instead of "obvious" which kind of adds to his doltish charm, don’t you think?
Sorry. Rant back…on:
That’s OK, because we think you are self-important gas-bag idiots without a lick of common sense, with DC-centric tunnel vision and no idea what real America and real Americans are. When pressed, we can do disdain better than you can too.
Nowadays there are a whole lot of us. We’ve rejected your so-called vision for the party, and we’re finally upset enough to organize and do something about it. Conservatives are taking over the party. You are already seeing the signs. Primaries are coming, too [hello, Arlen!]. Thanks to your lack of vision and courage, the left is one month into a 4-year full frontal assault on the Constitution, on freedom, on the free market, and on everything that made America great, saving America from the left has become the Prime Directive. It’s a war footing now, and you can either lead, follow, or get trampled.
I don’t much care which you do.
I think somebody just earned himself enough RedState Strike Force Berserker bonus points to get those two-for-one Six Flags tickets.

“It’s a war footing now, and you can either lead, follow, or get trampled.”
Does this mean he is declaring war on the democratically elected leaders of our country?
Is he aware that treason punishable by death?
These people are so delusional it’s nauseating. Kind of scary, too. Who wants to bet that the next terrorist act on American soil will be performed by Americans?
Michael Steele’s conciliatory teabagging of Rush Limbaugh goes horribly awry
How could it possibly not go awry?
Don’t answer that.

The thought of John “Ohian Tropic” Boner getting “birched” is somewhat appropriate, I must say.
Anyway, what is it with these freaks and the constant references to getting “birched” out back, and other bizarre ways to say anal intrusion? (yes, that’s rhetorical). Then, this maroon does the obligatory tough guy talk they always do, “Hey, anyone else want some?” These people are really dangers to society on so many different levels. Seriously.
It’s getting difficult for me to laugh at them anymore, since I’m getting more and more disturbed by them.
Please, please turn on McConnell and Bonehead and McNasty. They’re RMSPers! RINOs! Squishes! Not worthy of the cause of the One True Conservative, Rush Limbaugh!
Palin/Limbaugh 2012!
OT, after reading comments over there:
Has any of them ever bought loose-leaf tea? Or do they know only tea in little packets? Do they know how silly it looks?
Y’know, if George Lucas, Gene Roddenberry & Glen Larson had died in an automobile accident in, say, 1965, we’d probably all be a lot better off now. W/ the wing-nertz quoting G. I. Joe all the time instead of the Battlestar Trek Wars crap all the time.
A random sampling of the comments at RS. There’s almost a poetic lunacy to them, or pathetic if you prefer.
The last two lines seem to be an obligatory trope of this literature.
The people who pay these little prick retard morons should shot and their assets distributed to the disenfranchised and poor. Then shoot these RedState jerkoffs, too.
Hilarity.
Family values are alive and well at RedState, apparently.
Who else could possibly articulate for those obese thrice divorced Southwest Missouri State dropout hillbilly heroin addicted got busted coming home from the Dominican Republic after fucking 12 year old sex slaves with someone else’s boner pills autocratic homeland patriots but Rush?
Solidarity, RedState.
Follow that felon.
There’s someone who calls himself E Pluribus Unum? Is he schizophrenic?
Brenda Vaccaro
So, do you have a big gay following now?
oddly, listening to republicans kow tow to limpbugh one line from kennedy’s inugural returns to me….
Hey Rush: Hows that “Operation Chaos” workin out for ya?
“There is a very large portion of Americans …”
Did he mean “a portion of very large Americans …”?
RPorrofatto gives us this gem from over there:
– Rush is anatomically correct
The Rude One disagrees.
He’s going to need some suspensors like Baron Harkonnen soon.
“lead, follow or get trampled…”
Is it my choice? Wolverines get trampled!!
Definitely a trend going on here:
How to get female voters who wanted Hilary: “Hey let’s get a woman!” Result: Sarah Palin. Also.
How to get black voters: “Hey let’s get a black guy!” result: Mike Hip-Hop Steele
Obama should nominate a bag of hammers for some cabinet position and see how long it takes those Republican clods to elect one of their own.
Oooh, the Prime Directive! oh, baby!
Right-wing nutcase paranoia merges with Star Trek fanboy geekdom! SCHWINNGG!!!!
WOLVERIIIIIINNNNNNNEZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!
My elderly father, who has unfortunately witnessed the decline and death of too many contemporaries, happened to be at our house last night when Rachel Maddow was showing some footage of Rush at CPAC.
Afterwards he asked me if I thought Rush looked as though he might be ill. When I thought about it, I started wondering too. He’s got an odd, swollen and waxy effect around his neck and jowls, that reminds me of how Jerry Lewis on prednisone looked.
If he is ill, I’m sure all the attention he is getting right now is a wonderful distraction.
Oh please, please, please primary your few remaining moderates. I beg you to do so. Purity forever!
2000?
Reading about Eric the Redstate for some reason always reminds me of Sir Robin the-Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot:
“Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis…”
“That’s, uh, that’s enough music for now, lads… looks like there’s dirty work afoot.”
“Brave Sir Robin ran away…”
“bravely ran away away…“
“When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.”
“Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out.”
“Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.”
Seriously, I’m not quite sure what to make of the impending GOP implosion. Do we treat it as something to savor (a resounding yes!) or something to dread (our political system requires a responsible opposition party)?
At any rate, now that Steele’s been vanquished, I’m waiting for the cage deathmatch between Fatso and MC Rove. Could that be where this is all headed?
birched but good.
maybe an inadvertent funny wrt John Birch? or am I giving him waaaaaaaay too much credit
Yes. This has been another installment…
How could you possibly stop Rush? He’s got all that momentum going for him.
(You better get the cleverness of this comment, because I’m not going to explain physics to you, little Timmy!)
If by chance Rush is deathly ill, I can’t wait for that last radio show where he tells wingnut America that it was all a schtick to make money and thanks for the hundreds of millions of dollars, suckers. I won’t be listening, but if I happen to be driving at the time, I will know of the final broadcast by witnessing every Ford Pickup and Humvee within sight spinning wildly out of control and off the road.
“and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.”
The Republican Party is aware of all gay sex traditions. Tap, tap…
Birched? So that’s what the republican buttboys are calling it these days.
Well, Mr Unum got one thing right, That’s OK, because we think you are self-important gas-bag idiots without a lick of common sense, with DC-centric tunnel vision and no idea what real America and real Americans are.
that IS a pretty good description of the Kool Kids inside the beltway. Not that anyone on Redstate is any closer to the truth but still….
boyz dropped a dime on Playa last night
this is Rush’s house bitchez !
p.s. – can not help but think of how much the late, great Steve Gilliard would be enjoying all of this
Heh heh. I wish I thought it would go that way.
Instead I’d expect a long period of broadcasts full of self-pity, with calls accepted only from dittoheads with a tremor in their voices. “Oh, Rush, what will we do without your brave voice speaking out against the Islamofascistsocialistlieberulcommiefeminazis. *quaver sob* We thought it was all over when you were going deaf from your abuse of Oxycontin, but then you had the operation and we were SAVED! *quaver sob* We conservatives will perish without the powerful leadership of a greedy, divisive, junkie sex tourist.”
We do require a responsible opposition party, but unfortunately there isn’t one in sight.
E.Pluribus Solus Unum certainly deserves the Order of Trikesters coffee mug and perhaps a Wal-Mart light saber for that inspired post.
I always marval at the supreme irony of how supposed conservatives, who are infatuated with dictating American values to the rest of us, have chosen a narcotics junkie and 3-time married loser to lead them into the wilderness.
don’t think it’s prednisone, think it’s an insouciant ‘84 Gamay
‘zactly.
Greens, here’s your chance!
A “Face In The Crowd” ending would be nice too; “Good-bye, suckers,” and caught unaware that the mike is still on.
i just cannot TYPE out how funny this strikes me.
lolz just don’t do the trick.
i’m laughing hysterically at this TBogg post and allllll the comments.
i’m liking comment #1 the best however.
as i overdose on popcorn here.
It’s sad that there are people who think this way !
Does this guy really think the constitution is under attack by the left. He or she must have a very very short memory ,George Bush did more to weaken our constitution than any president in recent history , or perhaps any president period . The DOJ just released memos showing the Bush administration was intent on subverting our constitution in the name of the war on terror.
quote from above–Rush Limbaugh is a formidable force. Do you know why? Because he says what conservatives believe, and he is extraordinarily articulate, witty, insightful, and yes, courageous. There is a very large portion of Americans that still strongly believe what the Founding Fathers believed, and don’t care much for what Alinsky and Marx believed.
i still can’t fathom why they keep using the ‘founding fathers’ meme as a way to ’round the wagons. and why they think they own this reference. it has nothing to do with them or their beliefs or their doctrines and yet it goes without comment year after year, and they are using it now more than ever.
founding fathers as symbols for the conservative movement? using a ‘rush’ comparison in the same sentence with them?
the founding fathers were the radical’s radical in their day.
just another incongruous reference i guess. sounds good, so let’s use it. illiteration freaks.
must have had different books than i did.
weird.
TBagg !!
i found this on a rightie blog last night. rd st 2008 in review video.
an ad for depression popped up in the window. today it was a palin poll. hilarious.
sad. very sad. they’re very, very sad and dejected.

think about it, rush and these people are what’s feeding them…no wonder he rest of their party is worried about being defunct. really. well i never.
- Rush is anatomically correct
I don’t EVEN want to know how this person has confirmed this.
That baffles me, too. The Founding Fathers? You means the guys who set up a system of checks and balances to insure no one person grabs power? These Rushbots are authoritarians! They don’t need no steeking checks and balances!
However if they mean to take up arms and pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred Cheetohs to throw off the chains of American oppression, I say, have at it, gentlepersons! Just let me pop the popcorn first.
I laughed out loud at “Brenda Vaccaro”. Even when he is sick fergawdsakes, and just sending us over to RedState to muck around in the insanity, he manages to make me laugh. Tbogg is simply the best.
P.S. I’m not going over to RS. Those people are scary crazy.
“At any rate, now that Steele’s been vanquished, I’m waiting for the cage deathmatch between Fatso and MC Rove. Could that be where this is all headed?” Nah, Rove doesn’t roll like that; he just waits until the object of his interest takes a ride in a small plane…
>>taken behind the woodshed by Limbaugh, de-trousered and birched
Sounds like a near thing. I wouldn’t want to be “de-trousered and birched” anywhere near the Dominican Republican.
“My more affluent friends are already starting to modify their incomes so their success is not penalized.
–Idiot at RedState”
I love this line of reasoning.
“Since Obama is going to take an additional 3% of my income over $250K, I’m going to drop my income by 15% so he don’t get no more of my money. That’ll show ‘em!!”
Clinical fucking idiots. The whole lot of them.
Clinical fucking idiots. The whole lot of them.
So, a RedStater comes home from work to find his wife in bed with his best friend/the mailman/the milkman/the housewife next door (or whatever works best for you in imagining this scenario).
Shocked and angered, he screams at his wife that he’s had enough, this is the of the marriage, yadda yadda yadda. As he is fulminating, he goes through his sock drawer to find his trusty
compensation for his small dickrevolver.As he continues his tirade, repeating that this is “the end”, he can’t stand it anymore, etc., he takes the revolver in hand and points it at his temple. Which, of course, causes his wife to start laughing hysterically.
“What’s so damn funny?” says RedStater. “You’re next!”
bah-dah-boom!
Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Remember to tip your waitress.
I see Eric as more of a W.W. Beauchamp (from “Unforgiven”) kind of guy.
Every time I read a rant by some so-called “conservative” about “conservatism” that invokes the Founding Fathers, Constitution, etc., a few things always stand out:
1. They love to wrap themselves in the Constitution, but apparently have never read it.
2. The revere the “Founding Fathers” but have no idea who they were or what they believed. (See #1).
3. “Conservative” apparently means “clueless, greedy, self-involved fucktard.”
4. “Conservatism” means “shallow, bankrupt ideas that appeal to clueless, greedy, self-involved fucktards”.
No wonder they like Rush and his fellow travellers so much.
Apparently, according to Tbogg, Daryn Kagan is very familiar with the concept of teabagging. Rush taught her all about it.
