Boss Limbaugh finds humor in Americans doing things like, oh I dunno, suffering through foreclosures, unemployment, starvation... Isn't that hilarious? Are we slapping our knees and guffawing yet?
Last night, Rush Limbaugh came to Washington, D.C. to address the President’s Club Dinner, a meeting of wealthy donors and supporters of the Heritage Foundation. The audience included Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), as well as various millionaire trustees of the Heritage Foundation, like Thomas Saunders. [...]As he continued to gloat about his show’s success, Limbaugh mocked the idea that Americans are suffering, noting, “I’ve never had financially a down year” despite the “supposed” recession:
LIMBAUGH: But during all this growth I haven’t lost any audience. I’ve never had financially a down year. There’s supposedly a recession, but we’ve got - what is this May? Back in February we already had 102% of 2008 overbooked for 2009. [applause] So I always believed that if we’re going to have a recession, just don’t participate. [laughter]
Apparently his audience is just as unhinged as he is. Mocking mass misery is the tone-deaf Rushpublics' favorite pastime, quite the little diversion from reality.
And how about that Justice Thomas, folks? Once he takes off those robes, he really knows how to loosen up and have a good laugh, doesn't he?
The punch line: Sociopaths like these are currently condemning President Obama for holding his Supreme pick to an empathy standard.
