Conservatives taking news of Fluke’s congress run with as much class as you’d expect

BONUS FUN: everything conservatives think they know about Sandra Fluke is wrong.

Everything.

Goodbye Henry, hello Sandra?

When Henry Waxman announced his retirement, he cited the hyperpartisan atmosphere in Washington as one of the reasons. Tea Partier’s rejoiced and claimed they’d basically run Waxman out of town.

So they supposedly get rid of one liberal and who steps up to replace him? Their worst freakin’ nightmare — who stands a decent chance of winning this liberal district.

Congrats ‘baggers. If Waxman’s retirement was your doing, then Sandra Fluke is a candidate of your own making.

His common sense approach to issues has cost him nine advertisers so far

"Rush's 53 Smears Against Sandra Fluke."

In his half-hearted not-really-an-apology to Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke, Rush Limbaugh wrote, "For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke."

The problem here is that this "instance" was three separate shows over a three day period and that Rush personally attacked her -- i.e., said things about her personally -- at least 53 different times during that period.

I hope no one takes this the wrong way, because I don't mean this to be a personal attack, but Rush Limbaugh is a steaming bowl of crap. I mean that in only the nicest way, of course, and am only illustrating the absurd with absurdity. Mr. Limbaugh is not, after all, a literal steaming bowl of crap. It's merely a metaphor. He's as helpful and useful to a functioning society as a steaming bowl of crap and I just want highlight this undeniable fact.

At this point, Limbaugh's bleeding advertisers at an alarming rate, having just lost his 9th today.

Try not to take it personally, Rush. (DailyKos)

I guess he plans to spell it wrong or something... (ThinkProgress)
