Limbaugh hospitalized

Rush Limbaugh’s in the hospital.

I suppose I should say a prayer for him, but here’s a thought: would Rush Limbaugh encourage his listeners to pray for the speedy recovery of a liberal (say, President Obama) hospitalized due to chest pains? I’m thinking the answer to my question is no.

Cue the right-wing outrage machine!

I know Ted Nugent ceased being relevant about 20 years ago, but I can’t help but wonder when the right-wing outrage machine will kick into gear over Nugent’s remarks that President Obama should be jailed.

Gay marriage isn’t undermining the institution of marriage in America….

…but those “family values” conservatives sure are!

“Karl Rove and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week,” family spokeswoman Dana Perino told Politico. “The couple came to the decision mutually and amicably, and they maintain a close relationship and a strong friendship.

Terrence Wall, in a press release on November 30, 2009 (emphasis mine): “With Jim and Mary joining our team, the momentum is building behind our efforts to get our country back on track,” Wall said. “Jim and Mary know that Wisconsinites are tired of the partisanship and the negativity.”
