Over the years, like everyone on planet Earth, I have been aware of Rush Limbaugh. His bombastic commentary, his stupid, sexist remarks, his over-the-top macho Republican posturing. I do not listen to him, I do not read his crap, I don't let myself get riled up by his filthy bile. It just wouldn't be worth it. And besides, to listen and get angry is to play right into his fat, beefy hands.
So the whole Sandra Fluke escapade came to me through sites like Daily Kos and other pro-common sense sites that I read on a daily basis: Crooks and Liars, Think Progess, Joe My God, The Washington Monthly. Was I shocked? No. Was I repulsed and disgusted? Of course. Through reading about it I got the gist of the filth he spewed and could extrapolate the rest knowing how vile and base his mind is.
So then I got to wondering what made Rush jump the tracks of his usual brand of invective. What made him go so over-the-top that I would be forced to actually care about something that he was talking about? I am not used to having to do that. And the consensus seems to be that he ramped up his hatred to an unprecedented level. Like he opened the valves and let forth a scalding stream of hot lava hatred and copious amounts of perverted sexist screed that no one could look away from or ignore.
I have been thinking about his for a while here and I have a theory. Now, Rush is on his 4th marriage. If you google her or have seen pictures of his current wife, you will see that she is young and very beautiful. Stunning. Seeing them together is a nightmare because your brain cannot fathom why she would want to be with him. And this is not just looks-based. If you listen to him for any length of time you know that he has no soul. He is the worst of the worst of the worst as far as caring for any other person on this earth besides himself and his boot-licking slaves aka "Dittoheads". So he is ugly inside and out.
So my theory, which cannot be proven, and I don't claim to be able to verify is that Rush has found out that his beautiful wife is cheating on him with a younger, nicer, cooler dude. And that knowledge made him go ballistic and he latched onto the testimony of Sandra Fluke and his jealousy-addled brain veered off from what she really testified to and became a narrative of vindictive verbal vomit based upon his anger at his wife being unfaithful.
I have been keeping an eye out for a mention of them splitting up or some gossip along those lines.
