Thrice divorced drug addict and chickenhawk troop leader Rush Limbaugh has been known to make some asinine comments, like accusing Michael J Fox of exaggerating his Parkinson's symptoms, and claiming Darfur is about the black vote. Even some anti-American, anti-veteran remarks, like calling Senator Chuck Hagel "Senator Betrayus".

But the latest insult has got to be an all-time low for the radio host who, when it was his turn to serve his country, literally gave the military the 'bum's rush". Yup. Rush's initial deferment was due to a cyst on his bottom.

Let's see if the Senate Republicans have a resolution to propose. How about a nice floor speech for our friend Mr. Limbaugh, who yesterday called our troops "phony", Senator Cornyn? That is if you can muster up some outrage for a Republican this time.

Senator Kerry appears to share our sentiment:

"This disgusting attack from Rush Limbaugh, cheerleader for the Chicken Hawk wing of the far right, is an insult to American troops. In a single moment on his show, Limbaugh managed to question the patriotism of men and women in uniform who have put their lives on the line and many who died for his right to sit safely in his air conditioned studio peddling hate. On August 19th, The New York Times published an op-ed by seven members of the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division critical of George Bush's Iraq policy. Two of those soldiers were killed earlier this month in Baghdad. Does Mr. Limbaugh dare assert that these heroes were 'phony soldiers'? Mr. Limbaugh owes an apology to everyone who has ever worn the uniform of our country, and an apology to the families of every soldier buried in Arlington National Cemetery. He is an embarrassment to his Party, and I expect the Republicans who flock to his microphone will now condemn this indefensible statement."

Here's Mr. Limbaugh, calling our soldiers "phony" because they don't agree with his views on Iraq.
