DISQUS

Thank you for those quotes. I am now significantly dumber than I was 2 minutes ago. By posting those quotes, you are helping in the fight against "elitism." (whatever that means)


On another note. Who is more clueless: Dan Quayle or the Dubya?

pleeze. Limbaugh wishes he was as elegant and savvy and intelligent as Obama (Barack or Michelle).


C'mon, the one real thing the RNC hates about Obama is that he ISN'T a Republican. I remember when he spoke at the DNC, was that 2004?, for the first time. Republican pundits were in love. They were having conferences about "how can we get this guy on our side, because he's sure to be the 1st Black President".

Same ol' dumb *hit! And it won't work! Not this time. Not this election. I can't wait for the kid gloves come off and Obama can [still being dignified] kick some serious Rethug butt.

Wait a minute -- how can you argue against "not to have a mind is being very wasteful"? How true that is, indeed. Who can testify to this better than Danny Quayle?


Tell me again how these people got into and stayed in power?

Rush Limbaugh berates 10th grader’s school essay

May 15, 2008 at 9:27 pm

Funny stuff, Other, Politics





The best story I’ve heard this week by far was told today over lunch. Apparently, a co-worker of mine named George listens to the Rush Limbaugh show in his car, and yesterday heard him discussing Barak Obama’s comments about similarities between the recent housing crisis and the lead-up to the Great Depression. I imagine the comments were referring to the obvious similarities between those who obtained ridiculous sub-prime loans and those in the 1920s who bought stock they couldn’t afford on margin. However, Limbaugh decided that Obama’s comments were the result of a crazy “liberal education” - and even remarks how “lucky” he is that he didn’t graduate from college, thus allowing him to escape the perils of actual knowledge.



To prove his point, Rush says he did some Google searches for “Great Depression” and then proceeds to attack each of the results as liberal propaganda. Because we all know that college professors teach straight off of Google results pages. So my friend is listening and hears something rather striking… the name of one of our mutual colleagues - Paul Alexander Gusmorino (”The Third!” - I love the way Limbaugh says that).



Limbaugh found among the top results an essay written by Paul, entitled “The Main Causes of the Great Depression.” He quotes Paul’s essay and refutes each of its claims, dissecting them as if they were part of a Harvard professor’s lecture on the subject. He doesn’t pull any punches either. “Mr. Gusmorino, you better check Karl Marx and see if you plagiarized him in putting this piece together.”



Ouch. Those words would be harsh if they really were for a Harvard lecturer. But that’s not who wrote this essay. It was my friend who works as a Program Manager at Microsoft.



When he was in 10th grade.

If they weren't only rich white boys born with silver spoons in their mouths, maybe they wouldn't have gotten passes from all the idiotic statements they have made and continue to make: Quayle and the current poster boy for white priviledge and entitlement, George Bush.


Is there a club somewhere where these idiotic white boys who can't string two sentences together to form a coherent statement join and are given passes not based on color but who their families are and the amount of wealth they have>



Now what kind of special affirmtive action would you call that?
