Limbaugh to visit Afghanistan with US aid official
"WASHINGTON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh is expected to visit Afghanistan with the top U.S. aid official to spotlight America's aid work there, officials said on Thursday.

Political commentator Mary Matalin, a former White House aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, will also be on the trip. She said she was not being paid to go and would pay her own way to Dubai but she believed the U.S. government would cover the cost of her visit to Afghanistan from there."

6. "Propaganda Tour"
good one!

The question of the decade for me is: Why hasn't Limbaugh been outed for the lying, propaganda spewing, fascist promoting demagogue that he is?

Why has the USA, supposedly the Beacon of Democracy, allowed this Nazi-Lite Spokesperson to spread such vile hatred and fascist rhetoric for so long? Why have so many people embraced Limbaugh's racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted and generally supremacist ideology as an authentic political platform instead of rejecting it?

2. Rush wants a cut of that poppy action.
His oxycontin source has dried up, so he's sniffing out alternative drug options.

3. Maybe he'll bring pills
Seriously, if that brings some level of joy to those men and women over there... so be it. I'd rather party at a gay bar in Fallujah than meet that pig but if it makes people happy.
