Limbaugh: U.S. should consume energy like Michael Phelps consumes food.»

Yesterday, press reports revealed that Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps consumes a 12,000 calorie per day diet, six times the average calorie intake for a 23-year-old man. On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh said that since extra energy helped produce excellence in Phelps, drilling for more oil would do the same for the U.S.:

But now we read that Michael Phelps is burning and using 12,000 calories a day, while the Democrats are trying to alert everybody to the dangers posed by energy. The Democrats and left are now demonizing oil, they’re demonizing our own ability to be energy independent. They don’t want us to be able to get our own independent sources of oil or natural gas. Yet, look at Michael Phelps.

American consumption for the greatest production and the greatest rewards, why, that is fine if we do this in sports. However, if we consume and produce exceptionalism in goods and services for others, including ourselves, then somehow we are committing a sin.

1. Rush should be discussing calories. He has reverted to his ole lardass self since they took his

drugs away...

And I remember hearing him brag about his 'new diet' when his was loosing all that weight.

Diet of 'pills'...indeed!

4. Lately he looks like a badly deployed air bag.

2. The worst part of this whole story is that millions of Americans don't realize the man is

bouncing off the walls batshit crazy. As in John Wayne Gacy type nuts.

3. Taking "the ends justify the means" to a RIDICULOUS level ...

In Gasbaugh's book, ANY excess can be justifiable ...

:nuke:

5. I didn't believe anybody THAT fat could stretch THAT far

Saw a picture of the fatass druggie pedophile on Olbermann last night and I was amazed what a zeppelin he's become.

6. Rush Limbaugh is truly a complete idiot n/t

[Liberal In Texas]

7. Goofy.

Yet, there are people that eat this logic up, which is a sad commentary on our society.

8. Screw oil. There's probably enough energy in this pig's layers of fat to heat New Jersey for a year

9. surprised he hasn't pulled out the "Kardashev Scale" yet (I've seen that consumerist "argument") n/t
