Rush Limbaugh Right?

Last week it was noted on this blog that Rush Limbaugh implied that the cause of the explosion at the Deepwater Horizon could be terrorism. Well, this week Congress is holding hearings on the incident and the three main culprits are all expected to testify and take full responsibility for nothing. Instead, in the American tradition, they will all blame each other for the failings of the rig.

So how does this relate to Rush Limbaugh’s comments you ask? Well it seems to me that three of the worst terrorist groups in the world are at work here. The first being BP, representing the terrorist group of Big Oil. They routinely use their main source of income as a biological weapon to kill animal life the world over. The second being Transocean, representing the terrorist group of Big Business. Like most terrorist groups, they utilize illegal practices and exploit the needs of the American public. These ill-gotten gains are put right back into the group to fund future operations. Finally we have Haliburton, representing the terrorist group Government Corruption. They use the corporation as a front to bring down our Democracy from within. In a well designed ponzi scheme, they take money from the American taxpayer to pay off politicians and obtain government contracts on the cheap. Once awarded these contracts, they make sure that each operation fails in a way that exposes a flaw of our system and then they use the politicians they bought to spin the blame away from the terrorist in charge of the operation towards the en vogue enemy of the day.

I'm glad to see that Rush was finally out in front of a story and that his paranoia about everything is actually paying off. Let's see if he keeps up his good work and locates other terrorist groups at work here in the US.

Rachel Does Not Know Rush

If you're reading this blog, you probably think that Rush Limbaugh is a huge tool. (Actually, statistically speaking, if you're reading this blog, you're probably related to me because, truthfully, we're not yet competitive with The Huffington Post or DailyKos or even FireDogLake - despite their conspicuous lack of Derek Anderson coverage).

What you may not know is that Rush Limbaugh is worse than the worst. I was watching The Rachel Maddow Show last night and she did a segment on the lasting environmental damage expected in the gulf from last month's oil spill. She said this:

"Even the worst apologists for this disaster admit that once that delicate fecund land has been sludged, there's not much to say about the future of that land in any of our lifetimes."

She was, in part, basing that conclusion on these articles:

CBC News: Exxon Valdez Oil Still Found in Alaskan Ducks
and
AP: Gulf Spill Prompts Alaskans to Revisit Exxon Valdez Days

A sobering assessment from Dr. Maddow.

Or you could believe Rush Limbaugh who said this on April 29:

"The ocean will take care of this on it's own...it's natural...even places that have been devestated by oil slicks like, uh,... Prince William Sound. The place in pristine now."

We believe his assessment came from a joint report from Exxon, Palin, and HisOwnFatAss.
