Rush Limbaugh: "My middle name is Solutions" (how to deal with Hurricane Isaac in NOLA)

[^_^ 5,021]

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Okay, folks, it's a moment of truth. We are mere hours away now from Tropical Storm Isaac, which everybody is desperately hoping becomes a hurricane. I can't believe this. They are desperately hoping that it becomes a hurricane. It's the Democrats' wet dream that this thing hit New Orleans. So, you know me. My middle name is Solutions. I have some ideas for the Republicans. How to deal with the tropical storm, slash, hurricane hitting New Orleans.

The first thing we do is offer to send 500 bus drivers to New Orleans, paid for by us, to make sure that the buses that were not used by the Democrat mayor during Hurricane Katrina will be used to evacuate people should it become necessary. The second thing that I think the Republicans ought to do is send bags of money instead of sand. Bags full of money to shore up the levees in New Orleans. This would accomplish many things. A, it would show our compassion. B, we could have Romney's five sons who CNN last night asked, "What's it like to be rich as sin," or whatever. They did. Piers Morgan asked Romney's sons, (paraphrasing) "What's it like to be stinking rich?" So we have Romney's five sons deliver the bags of money to shore up the levees.

Now, this will accomplish much. It will show our compassion, and it will do something else. Once we publicize that we have sent 500 bags of money -- well, whatever number of bags, bags filled with money to shore up the levees, what will happen? The poor of New Orleans will storm the levees and steal the bags, thereby putting themselves at risk for the eventual flooding that will happen once they remove the bags of money. And that way the Republicans can get rid of even more Democrats in Louisiana and shore up the state for themselves. How about those two ideas, folks? Am I not thinking or am I thinking?

It's been a long work day, and I didn't sleep well last night, and "my middle name is Solutions" is making me laugh harder than it should.

Same here, that's why I put it right in the title.

I was going to ask some questions about his statements, but each time I type something I realize it is stupid to start to try and rationalize a crackhead.

I'll join in you laughing instead.

Well, we know at least somebody is still listening to Rush, even if it is just the transcriptionist that George Soros hired for Media Matters to transcribe every word Rush says.

Rush Solutions Limbaugh? Clearly his parents didn't think it through when they named him.

[rocks 494]

OK I give in. Can anyone explain this line to me?

It's the Democrats' wet dream that this thing hit New Orleans.

Wet dream = Republicans will get (literally) wet?

But why would democrats want the hurricane to hit New Orleans? New Orleans is full of liberal hippie types.

No idea. Maybe because they will do a better job than the prior Republican administration?

Obama would just use a crisis like that to declare Sharia law in NOLA.

The idea is that neither side gives a ####### about anything but being elected and both are fighting for that middle10% that could go either way... So a hurricane hitting New Orleans will bring back memories of government failure under Bush and also allow the new and improved FEMA to strut its big government help and create fear of what would happen if we let the bad guys (re: republicans) once again have power.

You know that both sides main motivational technique is pushing fear of the other side right? I'm guessing you already knew the answer to the original question you asked...

I don't get it either. Maybe Limbaugh took too many pills before work this morning?
