Despicable; adj.
A descriptive term covering a multitude character faults commonly found in politicians, notably but not entirely Republican, right-wing journalists, sneak thieves, talking heads, child molesters and Rush Limbaugh.

And what pray, might ol' Rush the Flush have said to warrant such attention -- again? Well:
Rush Limbaugh believes he knows why 16 million American schoolchildren will go hungry this summer, and it has nothing to do with soaring job losses or endemic poverty -- the problem is kids can't find their refrigerator or the local neighborhood McDonald's.

Responding to an article Wednesday at AOL.com that reports 16 million children will go hungry this summer once free or subsidized school lunches are no longer available, Limbaugh suggested he would run a daily feature on his radio show all summer entitled "Where to find food."

And, of course, the first will be: "Try your house." It's a thing called the refrigerator. You probably already know about it. Try looking there. There are also things in what's called the kitchen of your house called cupboards. And in those cupboards, most likely you're going to find Ding-Dongs, Twinkies, Lays ridgy potato chips, all kinds of dips and maybe a can of corn that you don't want, but it will be there. If that doesn't work, try a Happy Meal at McDonald's....

There's another place if none of these options work to find food; there's always the neighborhood dumpster. Now, you might find competition with homeless people there, but there are videos that have been produced to show you how to healthfully dine and how to dumpster dive and survive until school kicks back up in August.
Limbaugh suggested that the problem of childhood hunger is an artificial creation from people who believe that "rotten" parents "let their kids go hungry."

Story continues below...

I honestly don't understand how this breathing bleb has any audience at all. Indeed, it is a sad statement on the American public that such a large portion of it listen to him, even just for laughs. To me, he' ain't funny, just despicable.

Charles Dickens would have had fun with Rush Limbaugh. And he wouldn't have had to exaggerate his Scrooge-like character in the least.

Limbaugh's opinion is probably based on the fact that he goes through about 40 McDonald's Happy Meals a day, not counting his daily breakfasts, lunches, dinners and continuous "snacks".

Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.
