Yup! Life begins at conception and ends at birth!

Not that I would expect an honest or coherent answer from this porcine buffoon, but I do wish someone would ask Rush "Poster Child for Abortion" Limbaugh how he would define the "unalienable" right to life Jefferson mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Is that merely limited to the "right" to breathe and have a beating heart, or does it imply the right to LIVE, which would create unequivocal political space for extending quality health care to all Americans?

William Shatner has a talk show?

Is he tanning the same place as Boehrner now? Or is the liver disease now starting to show?

Yep, this is not surprising. I had a long discussion once with a co-worker about healthcare. He is wealthy and a Republican. Basically he said that he has saved money for future healthcare costs and that everyone should do the same because its not the responsability of the government. In fact he was getting all worked up and angry about people who don't save money and prepare themselves for potential healthcare costs. How they are not being responsible!! But the point he seemed to miss (and obviously Rush also misses) is not everyone is wealthy enough to save for potential healthcare costs every month! I know I don't have all this extra money to set aside. That is a privledge that the rich have but the majority of Americans don't.

I saw that clip earlier today and thought, what the fuck is this idiot talking about? It's the same bullshit scam he uses to trick the teabaggers and wingnuts into thinking they're individual freedom means having the right to be forced into bankruptcy and the right to spend twice as much as other countries for healthcare and get less for it.

That's what this bloated, horse teeth, ignorant, asswipe is really up to. Convincing his flock that their troubles are caused by everyone except the stupid ass, corrupt bastards that they keep voting for. These inbreds will never reach Limpdick's money and status, such as it is in life and he's convinced them that it's not their fault. It's those Negros. And speaking as one of those Negros, he can kiss my ass!

"You're assuming there's some morally superior aspect to healthcare", says Fatty McFatterson in response to comparing it to any other commodity that only the rich can afford. That says it all right there. Of course there is a morally superior aspect to healthcare. For Limbaugh the only morality that matters is blind greed--the more wealth you possess, the more morally superior you are.

You'd think with all the money Rush has, he could afford to buy socks.

I can't follow Shatner unless he's doing spoken-word poetry.

I had the sames reaction when I saw this loathsome slug of a man make this ridiculous comparison. Healthcare is like luxury housing to Rush: Only the wealthy are entitled to it. Spoken like a man who knows he'll never have to choose between bankruptcy and paying for his kid's chemotherapy.

"You're assuming there's some morally superior aspect to healthcare", says Fatty McFatterson...

Rush's approach is "I've got mine, fuck everyone else."

Is he trying out for the return of Miami Vice with that outfit, tan and no socks, or is that what rich asses consider cool?

Consider this..he has managed to get some blond twit to agree to become his 4th wife. It's gotta be the clothes, the tan, the teeth, or maybe his wonderful way with words. Nah, I go with his $$. Why else would someone with a working brain agree to (1)marry him (2)keep quiet while he and his buddies go on viagra fueled sex vacations?

BTW,the teeth & tan remind me of the episode of "Friends" when Ross got a spray tan and his teeth were so white as to set off a blue light. Bwahahaha

stunning--

that so many follow this guy--and what is crazier is I bet his audience on average is low info/low income--just like the teabggaers doing the bidding of the health insurance co's.

Was there more? Or did the whole discussion end here? Because I'd like to know what Beck thinks "moral" is if not caring for the actual lives of others. So... in his deranged mind health care isn't just like having a house but a BEACH house! Good for Shatner for trying, anyway.

Sorry, I meant Limbaugh, not Beck. Not that there's a dime's worth of difference....

It is simply amazing that William Shatner (William Shatner!) is the person who asked the question every reporter in the country should have been asking Republicans every day since health-care reform was first proposed in Congress.

I won't stop making fun of Shatner's bizarre, herky-jerky speech pattern, I won't start thinking of him as a great actor, but my regard for him as a human being has risen immeasurably.

It's not easy to find fat socks, no matter how rich one is...

Bet Shatner caught him off guard, Limbaugh probably confused Shatner with his Republican character on Boston Legal.

Wildflower, you have a point.

Taibbi's WWE post seems relevant here.

Pretty sure there are clips of Limbaugh's TV show with a studio audience on YouTube. The man couldn't debate his way out of that love seat he and Shatner were sitting in.

Not that you'll ever see the Rushter go on a show where he might get some serious pushback.

Are they sitting on the Love Toilet?

Cute, good ol' Bill Shatner is still a Canadian first! And this makes up for the utterly creepy conversation he had with Jimmy Kimmel about women's orgasms.

Zirgar, you're right; Rush's morally superior component was pretty amazing, UFB. When you have an interview where Shatner is the voice of reason...
