Why Rush Limbaugh

...gets a Medal Of Freedom when he's obviously a douchenozzle among douchenozzles.



In Trumplandia, you don't get the accolades in spite of your douchenozzlery, but because of it - 
anything to own the libs


...that's all that matters.

But Limbaugh is extra special qualified because he can be seen as the personification of this year's installment of "very fine people on both sides".

Giving that slug a medal is a signal to the unwashed hordes of MAGA rubes that 45* is still totally down with hating all the right people for them, but expands the shittiness way beyond simple Racism and Misogyny, in order to make it a very handy weapon to use against anybody and everybody who displeases him at any given moment.

Some of RushBo's greatest hits:
  • Attempts to slut-shame dozens of notable women - Krystal Ball, Christine Blasey-Ford, Susan McDougal, Sandra Fluke (this list goes on for-fucking-ever)
  • "Barack The Magic Negro"
  • Mocking Michael J Fox 
  • Chelsea Clinton - the White House dog
  • Michelle Obama is guilty of "uppity-ism"
  • Bill and Hillary murdered Vince Foster
  • Sandy Hook was a hoax
  • and and and
Some of us are forever enthralled with that Shock Jock bullshit which is supposed to become less interesting the farther we get from our middle school lunchrooms.

Let's Review

(former) Sheriff David Clarke is a douchenozzle extraordinaire - actually, he's not all that extraordinary considering all the other douchenozzles 45* keeps huddled around him.

The good news being, of course, that John Kelly is whittling away at that huddle, with Clarke being the latest wood chip to hit the floor without even becoming part of the stick (how's that for stretching the metaphor beyond its tensile strength?).

But anyway, with his book and all, the guy's convinced he's hit the big time, so now he's headed out onto the Wingnut Welfare Circuit to become the new Sarah Palin.

I think we can expect some very small things from this fuckwad.

As a reminder, here's a tour of all that weird shit he puts on his uniform trying to make us think he's impressive.

BTW - this is about half-a-hair short of Stolen Valor. Which would be plenty of reason for a General Kelly to stomp this clown into a greasy carpet stain.

WaPo gave us a rundown a while back:


1. Clarke’s four-star epaulets are standard for a chief of police or sheriff.

2. This is a pin that reads “Sheriff” made and branded by the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company. (Thanks to Charlie Deck for spotting it.)

4. A U.S. flag lapel pin.

5. A “thin blue line” pin. The expression “thin blue line” is meant to evoke the role of police in society: a thin blue line of people willing to stand between us and them. This pin mirrors similar others that are popular in the United Kingdom.

6. This is a pin for the Israeli civil guard, a branch of the Israeli police that serves as a sort of neighborhood watch since terrorist attacks in the mid-1970s. (You can see a more clear version of it here.) At other times, Clarke has worn a badge for the Israeli traffic police. (Much thanks to Naomi Fry, Jacob Kornbluh and Noga Tarnopolsky for their help tracking down this badge.)

7. Clarke’s actual sheriff’s badge.

8. A 9/11 memorial pin, presumably of the sort Clarke mentioned in the interview above.

9. This appears to be a small lapel pin that says “WTC” (like this one), a reference to attacks at the World Trade Center. (Thanks to Ryan Shyffer for helping identify this.) Pins similar to this were given out to New York Police Department officers who helped in the aftermath of the attacks.

10. Almost certainly a badge for the General Mitchell International Airport division of the Milwaukee County Sheriffs Department. A source who wished to remain anonymous sent a photo of a similar badge, depicting a five-pointed star on a background of extended wings.

11. A pin from the National Rifle Association. Clarke has been a proponent of the organization for some time, including starring in an ad for the NRA.

12. A U.S. flag bar pin.

13. A small replica of a 19th-century U.S. Secret Service badge (like this one). (Steve Hager identified it as being a souvenir given out to those who help out with a presidential visit. Thanks to Johanna Farkas for finding the original.)

14. A 75th anniversary FBI National Academy pin. The academy provides professional training on intelligence, terrorism, management and forensic science. You can see a more clear version of this pin here. (Thanks to Kyle McAllister-Grum, who identified this.)

15. Clarke’s name tag.

16. A “thin blue line” ribbon from Concerns of Police Survivors, an organization for the family members of law enforcement officials killed in the line of duty.

17. An FBI National Executive Institute pin. The institute trains law enforcement executives in leadership.

18. A pin labeled “NSI,” perhaps for the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative of which Milwaukee is a part.

19. An FBI National Academy completion pin. Clarke’s relationship with the FBI over the years means that one can stumble across politically interesting photos like this one.

20. Pin for the CeaseFire crime reduction program of which he was once a liaison for the Milwaukee Police Department.

21. A pin depicting a baby’s feet (“the precious feet”), signifying support for the antiabortion movement.

22. Blue Knights law enforcement motorcycle club pin.

Today's American Taliban

The large steaming piles of douche-canoe buggery that fall out of this guy's Whopper slot in such rapid succession are a pure wonderment to behold.




The kids at South Park had a few ideas about Mr Donohue
