Rush Limbaugh is a "drug-abusing, cheating, homophobic fat ass"

I didn’t say it. I read it on Twitter. In the author’s defense (one of many), the sentence actually started with “What if someone called Rush” a drug-abusing, cheating, homophobic fat ass. Does that make it less shocking? Do those few words make a difference? Do Words make a difference?

Either way, the tweet sparked me to share my take on Hypocrisy and the Republican Mouthpiece. I tried to think of a word to combine the two but frankly, I’m not that clever.

While I trifle with word play and the meaning of words, a strange noise calls to me in a Hart Crane-like moment. It’s not just a noise, it’s a RoaR really. It’s guttural and primitive and radiates from inside. Memories of banter run - words steeped in hypocrisy. I remember seeing the red demon in a fatsuit, sweating, spitting and spewing malcontent and acting out self hatred.

Torture, War, Greed, More Greed, a tablespoon of racism for good measure and Hey - check out my bible.

Toxicity distributed, hungry souls swallow and One Man Gets Richer.

The one man, the small band of moral thieves, the money-thin logic  - the depravity bangs around in my head. The noise is irritating. I pay attention to the irritation and it unfolds quickly like common sense. Stop supporting the sponsors - it’s not a new strategy but it’s a strategy that works.

What else is there to do? You tell me. Blog about it, tweet it, tell a friend, or send an email.
