At least when the whore in question is Rush Limbaugh. He promised that if ObamaCare passed Congress, he'll split for Costa Rica. Well, it passed and most of the country waited in joyous anticipation for him to book his flight. Indeed, there was an hypothesis out there that states the reason the bill passed was mainly to get rid of him.

Alas, it's not to be:
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh gave America reason for hope recently, when he made a public pledge to move to Costa Rica if health care reform were to pass through Congress. In a move that pleased many of those who would like for Limbaugh to return to the rock from which he came, Limbaugh promised that if Obamacare were implemented, he would make the big move to the country whose health care system he respects:"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."

What's most ironic about Limbaugh's pledge is not just the fact that millions of Americans would love to see Limbaugh leave the country, but that Costa Rica has a far more socialized health care system than we have here in the United States. Not only does the country provide universal health care coverage for its citizens, but the country has a strong public option. The system also works quite well, as Costa Rica has a life expectancy second to only Canada in the Western Hemisphere. The country's health program was rated "excellent" by a study in the American Journal of Public Health.
So, we're still stuck with the whore and likely will be for ever. Merde!

Are you claiming that Rush said something that was not true?

Unfortunately, filthy, you forgot that Rush said if the healthcare bill is still in effect after five years, he'll move to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, we're stuck with Rush for at least half a decade. :(

I suppose you can call his vile blood pump that, but of course such "heart" attacks never stopped Dick Cheney
