Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot

As shown here in response to Gore's Nobel Prize:
"So now 'Algore' will join Yasir Arafat among the list of noble Nobel peace laureates," Rush Limbaugh said with much sarcasm at the top of his broadcast today. The Norwegian committee, Limbaugh said, has "rendered themselves a pure, 100 percent joke."
Citing Arafat, the former Palestinian leader, and former President Jimmy Carter's award in 2002, Limbaugh added that "The Nobel committee has lost all credibility since long before they awarded this award to 'Algore.'"
...
"I confess, I have been in a bit of a funk after learning of the Gore/Nobel news," conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham said in an e-mail. "I really thought Cindy Sheehan should have been recognized."
...
Limbaugh, though, seemed to capture the views of most conservatives (not to mention most political reporters) by expressing delight at what the award would mean for the complicated Gore-Clinton relationship.
"This majordomo of his, Albert Arnold 'Algore,' wins the Nobel for a movie!?" Limbaugh said of Bill Clinton. "He's supposed to be the guy who gets away with lies."
As for Gore's award, Limbaugh had a suggestion: "I call on Albert Arnold 'Algore' to redirect his Nobel Peace Prize to genuine agents of peace."
And who might that be? Army Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. troops in Iraq. "If there has ever been an engine of peace, it’s the United States military," Limbaugh said, surely to the delight of his audience.


You're such an idiot. Although these other folks aren't much better:

"I confess, I have been in a bit of a funk after learning of the Gore/Nobel news," conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham said in an e-mail. "I really thought Cindy Sheehan should have been recognized."

Blogger and former Bush campaign staffer Patrick Ruffini also took the sarcastic route, predicting future Nobels should Hillary Clinton win the presidency next year. In a post on TownHall.com, Ruffini predicted Hillary Clinton would win the peace prize in 2010 "for ending the Iraq war" before her husband, "Special Presidential Emissary Bill Clinton," picked up the honor in 2012 "for the so-called Bubbahmedinejahd Pact guaranteeing no U.S. attack on Iran in exchange for a cap of 20 Iranian nuclear weapons."

I don't know what's worse. Rush and his opinion that wars somehow make peace, Ingraham and her unreasoned attack of a woman who's son died in Iraq or Patrick Ruffini who can't seem to understand why everyone doesn't think war with Iran is teh best idea evah. I wish the entire conservative media engine would just pile themselves in a big ass bus(they'll need it for Rush) and drive around in Iraq asking everyone how much they love George Bush.
