Into the future:
If Democrats didn’t have all the incentive they needed to pass health care reform already, then conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh may have provided the final push they needed by vowing to flee the country if the reform bill is passed.
Responding to a caller who asked him where he would go for health care if Congress enacts reform, Limbaugh replied,
I don’t know. I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica.
Just go, you degenerate scumbag.

He’s full of shit. As usual.
He’ll never leave the U.S. and if you were to call him on it, he’ll call you a liar.

Costa Rica has universal health care. Rushbo is a socialist in drag.

I’m sure I will not be the first to say, “Rush, Costa Rica has universal healthcare, you stupid shit.”

News Flash: Costa Rica closes borders, puts military on full alert. “Normal defenses aren’t enough when threatened by giant gasbag invasions” says Defense Ministry…

Liar. Obviously the Dominican Republic would be his first choice. It already is.

@Jay in Oregon: I’m not so sure about that. He could have all of the under-age prostitutes a middle-aged creep could ask for.

Costa Rica has no military, just police and a national guard. Will that be enough? He’s a biggen’.

Buh-bye, Rush! Don’t let the door hit you on your racist, sexist, doctor-shopping, trophy wife-having, cyst-ridden ass!

WORD to the boys in Costa Rica.
OK, nevermind. It’s not like you can trust a wingnut’s word.
It must suck to be a WINGNUT today.
The GOP’s nominee for prezident has one singular achievement as an elected public official, RomneyCare.
The eeeeevul blackity blackity black Kenyan Muslim without a longform birth certificate got RomneyCare affirmed as constitutional law by a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who was nominated by a Republican president and who was confirmed with the vote of every last Republican senator (Jim Crème de menthe!).
What a wonderful day!

Drudge and Michael Savage are smearing Roberts, claiming that he is taking epilepsy medication that affects his judgement. (Link is to Media Matters.)

Could there possibly be some sort of ignorance problem amongst those wing nuts? http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/people-moving-to-canada-because-of-obamacare

Poor Roberts. Alienated all us centrists/leftists a long time ago, and now his hyena base has turned on him. Who does he have left?

@Origuy:
Best for our side to stop at snark. No way we could out smear them. They are too strong, too fast, too untoppable and unstoppable at viciousness.

@Origuy: For so many reasons, that is offensive. I’ve taken Tegretol every day for the last four years for epilepsy and I’m still smarter than all those fuckers.

@Ash Can: If the 3 nutters stay crazy, then 4 sane Supremes to compromise with on some decisions?
What’s up with Kennedy is so opaque, won’t try to speculate.
Roberts will go in with the nutters on corporate stuff, but maybe in other areas, might not be as bad as feared.
We will see.

I know it is slightly off topic but if Justice Scalia and Rush traded jobs, would anybody notice?
Caz
I guess you didn’t get the memo about being a civil human being. Why do you think it’s cool or proper or whatever to call someone you disagree with a “degenerate scumbag?” He hasn’t done anything except exercise his freedom of speech. He hasn’t violated anyone’s rights, he hasn’t harmed anyone, he just goes on the radio and talks about stuff.
It makes you the degenerate scumbag that you can’t treat others with whom you disagree with any respect at all. If anyone disagrees with you, they are a degenerate scumbag. Take a look in the mirror, asshole.
Villago Delenda Est
Of course, it’s not really about health care, or policy, or anything like that.
It’s all about the near guy in the White House.
That is what it is about.

@jl: I’m starting to think that the folks who have been speculating that Roberts doesn’t want “his” court to go down in the infamy it’s otherwise headed for are bang-on. He may be basically a RW schmuck, but he apparently still has a trace of self-awareness. I don’t know if that in and of itself will ultimately prove to be enough to save this nation from itself in the long term, but he’s given us a modicum of hope.

Gaff Rush.
Costa Rica doesn’t even have a fucking standing army. They couldn’t kill a muslim fly. And tons of latinos invade their borders everyday.

@Caz:
Absolutely. Herr Limbaugh should only be addressed as a “slut,” as he has so selflessly taught us as the correct way to tag someone with whom he disagrees.
Rush: you ignorant slut!
All better?

@Caz:
And then flies off to the Dominican Republic to fuck underage boys (or maybe girls…like it fucking matters). Not harming anyone, just taking advantage of what’s available in the market!

Dexter's new approach
I like how he starts about treating people with respect for expressing their opinion – and defending of all people Rush, who has a catch-phrase “Femi-Nazis” (just to start for the objectionable to racist) – and then ends his post calling people assholes for expressing their opinion. That was a fast decline from high road.

@Caz: That, from you, is hilarious. Go play in traffic, you asshole.

I looked this up the last time Rush threatened to run to Costa Rica.
Expats there have an absolute right to buy into the health care system there. The cost is (or at least was, a few years ago) a 10% tax on your annual income, with no cap. I am sure they would be glad to have Rush move on down there for some mandated health insurance.
Steve Crickmore
Rush and his fellow wingnuts should consider exiling themselves to Africa. All countries, in that continent (map, a hat tip to Juan Cole), but South Africa, don’t have universal healthcare. Even China is moving in that direction. And if still he feels threatened there is always Antartica.
Xenos
@Xenos: Strike that… I can’t remember where I found that, and it does not seem to be correct. Next time I will revisit research before opening my mouth.
MTiffany
If he had any sense, he’d go stay in the country (sort of) and go to Puerto Rico — after all, that is where big pharma manufactures most of the pills he likes to abuse.

I’m fairly certain the Updated Geneva Conventions makes being Rush Limbaugh a crime against humanity.

hey we don’t want that wingnut moving to my country! ugh.
HeartlandLiberal
That is not fair to the good people of Costa Rica to with Limpbaugh on them.
It is also not fair to the many American’s who have retired to Costa Rica, and who probably among their other blessings count the fact the Rush Limpbaugh is NOT in Costa Rica.
Maybe, like the rest of Wingnuttia, he should have considered Canada?

@Valdivia: NIMBY
SenyorDave
@Caz: Caz, in a way I agree with you. I think an apology is owed to all proud degenerate scumbags and I am offended that anyone would lump Limbaugh in with them. He is a pus-filled, racist piece of excrement who is truly a waste of oxygen. He is way below the level of being a degenerate scumbag.

@Caz: From you. Here’s hoping you lose all your health insurance, go bankrupt, and die under a bridge.
Oh wait, that can’t happen any more.
Maybe you should show some of the class that you’re bleating about and thank the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, for this nice thing he’s done for you.

My guess is he’ll only go there if they allow him to take some non-prescribed Viagra…

Costa Rica doesn’t want you, shitbag.
But really, we all need to call in to his show, get past the screener, then bring up Costa Rica. Or is he still only doing the “responding to a twitter-type feed” thing he was doing when he was deaf?
The Other Chuck
Wow, people are still responding to Caz? He wins every time you do.

Roberts job is secure, he does not have to face voters, unlike the Congress. So, if a largely private-sector reform goes through, it is not anathema to him. But, as Chief Justice, he has to look after the reputation of the SC, unlike John Boehner. Did the Orange One expect Roberts to sacrifice his reputation so that they could take back the White House? Roberts may be very conservative and right-wing, but he is not a Tea-tard.
brantl
@Caz: Dear uninformed, illiterate, belligerant Caz: Here is why Rush is an illiterate scumbag, to wit:
1.He was an oxycontin addict, who sent his housekeeper out to score the drug for him, he had multiple doctors, so that he could get multiple perscriptions for it.
2 He went into Latin America, smuggling bootleg VIagra. He called Chelsea Clinton a dog. (Chelsea’s never mentioned Rush, in public. Lay off the kids, dickweed.)
3. A woman went and talked to Congress about the cost of healthcare, and he called her a slut. (She really should have sued him.)
4. He, in his immense ignorance, claimed that Michael J. Fox was “off his meds” so that he would jerk around while giving his impassioned plea for stem cell research. (Dumbass that Rush is, he doesn’t know that the medication causes the tremors, or the muscles would lock up.)
Know something about what you’re talking about before you shoot off your mouth, asshole.
