\"Limbaugh-Jesus\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rush Limbaugh learned some things while trying to watch football. It was horrible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rush Limbaugh had a perfectly miserable time watching football on Thursday night, poor guy. He made the mistake of tuning in early for the pregame show before the Baltimore Ravens\/Pittsburgh Steelers matchup, and instead of hearing some good football commentary, or perhaps some patriotic claptrap on the anniversary of 9\/11, what did he get? An earful about how terrible domestic abuse is\u2014not what he signed up for, at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned that I\u2019m not doing enough to stop wife-beating,\u201d he said, his voice dripping with mockery, disgust and indignation. \u201cI learned that I am not aware enough. That my conscious (sic) is not being raised enough. I learned that it\u2019s an epidemic. It\u2019s happening all the time. I learned that 600 women have supposedly died from wife abuse since Ray Rice cold-cocked his wife in that elevator.\u201d<\/p>\n

He learned all of this at the hands of James Brown, who gave an impassioned, principled, and very brief speech<\/a> about how it is time for men to step up and take responsibility for the problem of domestic abuse. Rush Limbaugh does not like learning things. It makes him very, very ornery. But at least he could brag about one thing. He saw this coming. \u201cAs I predicted,\u201d he said. \u201cFootball is politics. It has jumped the shark and become politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Football has become, in Rush\u2019s immortal words, \u201cchickified.\u201d<\/p>\n

There go those feminazis again, ruining everything\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Limbarf has an excuse, it is that all the women he has experienced have been masochists, since becoming involved with him is one of the most self-demeaning things any wo0man could do.  This is jizst one of five Republican doozies from last week alone.  Click through for the other four.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
