Rush Limbaugh ridicules Sheila Jackson Lee’s ‘freed slave’ comment, saying ‘she’s got to be over 110

Rush Limbaugh is no Ted Nugent.

Two days ago, Nugent, a conservative gun-rights activist, made headlines when he hugged liberal Houston Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee, the only Texas lawmaker who has received contributions from gun-control interests, after the State of the Union address.

Today, Limbaugh showed no such generosity. A day after the outspoken Texas congresswoman praised Abraham Lincoln’s efforts that resulted in her being a “freed slave,” the outspoken conservative radio personality mocked her.

“We will keep looking to try to find out who owned her, who sold her, and what they got,” the Excellence in Broadcasting founder declared on his radio show. “I have to tell you, though, in all candor, I think she looks pretty good for her age. She’s got to be over 110. You’d never know it.”

rename the Carnival Triumph as the "Rush Limbaugh".

Both are rudderless, adrift and full of shit.

I'm not sure of her ancestry, but I'm sure she was referring to that connection. It's pretty obvious.
