No. Scratch that, he never ceases to DISGUST me.
I know this was already diaried on by user Raatz, but I think that this is not your average Limbaugh crap. This extra-premium bullshit, so I felt it deserved another diary.
Raatz's diary here: http://www.dailykos.com/...
As many of us know, Mr. Limbaugh recently suffered from chest pains, possibly including other symptoms of a heart problem. This was while he was vacationing in Hawaii. He was hospitalized at Queen's hospital, and treated. I'm sure we all wish Rush a speedy recovery so he can get back to his studio to spew more crap. I know I do.
Anyways, it seems that his recovery has gone quite well, he infact made a statement, which Raatz links to in (forgive me Raatz) his/her diary. The diarist higlighted one quote from the remarks Mr. Limbaugh made upon release and that statement was:
"I've been treated to the best health care the world has to offer and that is right here in the United States of America," he said. "Based on what happened to me here, I don't think there's one thing wrong with the American health care system."
More crap-tastic crap below.
Wow, just wow. I have never been to Hawaii myself, but I think that Raatz does a good job of educating us a little bit about the state of several issues incliding healthcare on the island. Your really should read her diary.
Now after reading Limbaugh's statement several times for undestading, I realized that Rush is either:
1)LYING
2)Spitting in the face of those trying to reform legislation to make people's lives better
3)Trying to infuriate those who are struggling to pay medical bills because some greedy ass Corp. demands exorbitant payments for one of the most basic human services
4)Laughing in the face of the uninsured who have to choose between doctor, or food.
5)all of the above.
"Based on what happened to me here, I don't think there's one thing wrong with the American health care system."
I will not list the myriad severe problems the U.S. system has especially concerning cost, effectivness, availability and profit in front of life.
But for a minor millionaire "celebrity" to go and utter something like that just goes on to reinforce the truth that people like Limbaugh have absolutely ZERO interest in meaningful discourse. He doesen't give a shit if 44,000 something people die every year, as long as HIS ass is covered.
The point of this diary is to say that people need to wake the fuck up and realize that people like him should have ZERO SAY for any kind legislative issue because they have no concern for the wellbeing of any common citizen, and therefore anything they spew is IRRELEVANT.
But what do i know? I'm just some liberal, socialist, pot-smoking, sex having, devil worshipping adolescent according to him.
