Rush Offends Gays! Gasp!

Rush Offends Gays! Gasp!

I’ve often said Rush Limbaugh is a bombastic, egotistical, hypocritical, disputatious blowhard. However, he’s our very conservative bombastic, egotistical, hypocritical, disputatious blowhard, and he happens to be correct virtually always in his arguments.

His negative traits may detract from Rush’s overall persona but they have no bearing on his facts and presentation of what he calls “essential truths” and are unrelated to his credibility and accuracy.

For example, as an intermittent but regular listener for 20+ years to the thrice-married Limbaugh, I have never heard him defend or deny his multi-marriages nor to badmouth his exes in any way.

In fact, he speaks very kindly of the fair gender. Whatever his difficulties with maintaining a stable marital union are beyond my ken, and beyond my interest. His prodigious ego or his various wives’ ambitions may be major factors, but what do I know?

He would be grossly hypocritical should he express support for the sanctity of marriage, which he doesn’t, even if he cannot be lauded as a paragon of marital fidelity.

His negative commentaries on gay marriages, however, though attacked by homosexuals as hypocrisy, are entirely within the realm of fair game since gay marriage is such an obvious transgression of natural law, and of common sense.

By far the favorite whipping boy of the Left, Limbaugh is under attack once again, this time for an off-hand yuk about our homosexual brethren.

In reaction to glibly-gay Rep. Barney Frank’s sarcastic response to a town haller questioner asking, “On what planet do you spend most of your time?” Rush punned that, ”Isn’t it an established fact that Barney Frank himself spends most of his time living around Uranus?”

I thought it was a pretty funny, and true, retort by Limbaugh.

As for poking fun at Rep. Frank, I’m sure Barney has been poked before, so he should be used to it. Gays, however, were offended by the joke for some reason.

Tsk, tsk.

Official and semi-official expressions of offense were amusing enough but those who commented on the Huffington Post story were positively riotous and the comments by the commenters said far more about them than they did about Rush: http://bit.ly/11mf02.
