Rush Limbaugh may have given the Obama Administration the very thing needed to pass the health care legislation by a wide margin. Limbaugh has promised to leave the country if it passes.
The good thing is that, no matter how the legislation might improve or diminish health care in the United States, Limbaugh’s departure would cut the nation’s high blood pressure in half.
Here is the exchange for future reference:
CALLER: If the health care bill passes, where would you go for health care yourself? And the second part of that is, what would happen to the doctors, do they have to participate in the federal program, or could they opt out of it? [...]
LIMBAUGH: My guess in even in Canada and even in the UK, doctors have opted out. And once they’ve opted, they can’t see anybody Medicare, Medicaid, or what will become the exchanges. They have to have a clientele of private patients that will pay them a retainer and it’ll be a very small practice. I don’t know if that’s been outlawed in the Senate bill. I don’t know. I’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica.
That should do it. Call the vote quick.

No time like the present.
Why wait, Rush?
Be sure to let the door hit you in your fat fascist head on the way out, you cigar fellating Neocon puppet you.
Repeatedly.
Some more quality words from Herr Limbaugh.

Couldn’t he go to Iraq?
Awww, go on, pleeeeeease!
I couldn’t think of a better incentive for the Dems and for the country to pass Health Care Reform. To rid our airwaves from this pompous blowhard would be a dream come true. Of course, he probably picked Costa Rica for its renowned, single payer health care system. That way his Viagara supply would be cheaper.
raff,
Don’t forget about the cheap Oxycontin too!
Actually Costa Rica is a pretty nice place. I have been looking into buying some land there with a friend of mine. It is very scenic, they only have a 10% sales tax (or so I am told), they have health care, beaches, limited regulations concerning building, and warm weather.

“cigar fellating” lol
how do you fellate a cigar?
I came across this comment:
“As Lisa points out, it’s funny how when progressives talk about leaving the country if, say, Dubya gets re-elected, it’s because they’re Dirty Hippies Who Hate America, but when conservatives do it, it’s obviously because they’re Concerned Patriots Who Can’t Take Anymore. Because only a dirty hippie would ever suggest that Rush doesn’t love America with all his tiny, plaque-encrusted heart.’
Oxycontin, did someone say Oxycontin???
BIL, Here’s a Rushbo poem for ya:
GASBAG
OxyContin
Pudding and pie
Rush popped five pills
And went sky high.
He floated
In the stratosphere
Like the Goodyear blimp,
A gaseous sermoneer,
An incendiary
Doctrinaire
Spouting racist talk—
And full of hot air!

Byron,
Now’s the time to buy land in Costa Rica. I heard the real estate prices in that country plummeted after Rushbo said he was thinking of moving there.
“’ll just tell you this, if this passes and it’s five years from now and all that stuff gets implemented — I am leaving the country. I’ll go to Costa Rica.”

Those are the words of a true patriot!
I guess this also falls into the promises made catergory,still waiting for Hannity to be waterboarded.
eniobob:
he hasn’t done it yet? Even Mancow did it, I think he changed his mind on it being torture. He now believes it is.
I wonder if any of them have done it yet? I think that if I was going to talk for it on national TV and there was a “gray” area in my mind, I would have it done to myself so I would know for sure. I guess he is a wussy or he actually does think it is torture.
This is not fair. He set up the fall and want to run.
Take Glenn Beck with you so he can flee the (imaginary) commi’s
Byron, I have a friend who is on his ninth rental home, owns part of a shopping mall and established a group of fishing captains. I have many many stories. Been there lots.

Bdaman:
I need to talk with you about it if you would be willing. I only have a friend who has a friend down there, and I have never been.
Great place but has become to Americanized. The land values are ridiculous now. More bang for buck in Nicaragua. I haven’t been there yet but have friends that have been going there for the last five years who say it reminds them of the first times of going to Costa. Costa Rica is no doubt Pura Vida (Pure Life)
I did a quick search but this is the crocodile bridge just outside of Jaco on the Pacific Coast. The last time I crossed the bridge a man had a heart attack and died. Emergency response was there within 15 minutes but he could not be revived. You stand on the bridge and see these massive animals and you are in awwwww.
And for the other wild life of Costa Rica. Room service in Costa Rica is very different than here in the states.

Don’t get my hopes up, Limpballs – if you’re going to do it, do it. In fact, I’m feeling so generous towards such a mentally-challenged blowhard such as yourself, I’ll even help you pack!
Just don’t let the door hit ya where your good lord split ya …
He would get a state welcome from the Republic of Texas, but not from Costa Rica.

Awwww. What’s the matter, cigar sucker? Too many people call your bluff or did you realize you were moving to a place with that single payer health care you want to keep from American citizens? Too much bullshit for you to hold in that over size mouth of yours?
I thought so.
All talk, no walk.
I am so not shocked.
BIL–
Thanks for spoiling my day! As you say–”All talk, no walk.” Remember how the blowhard chickenhawk reportedly got out of military duty in Vietnam? A boil on his buttocks! I’d say the man’s a boil on the buttocks of America.
He’s been ready to retire for a long time so the promise is just more empty words … Sarah will take over and the beat will go on.
What a turd.
“…Costa Rica’s hybrid government-private health care system provides comprehensive universal coverage to all residents — and even sells affordable policies to soon-to-be visitors like Limbaugh. The government owns several major public hospitals and operates small clinics in almost every community. Workers are required to contribute 15% of their salaries to health insurance and the unemployed “obtain public funding for all health services, including prescription drugs.” At least a third of all Costa Rican residents receive some care in the private sector and the government regularly purchases services from private providers. The system is not without its problems, but it boasts a higher ranking from the World Health Organization — Costa Rica is 36, United States 37 — and has higher life expectancy and lower infant mortality rates. Costa Rica also spends less per capita on health care than the United States and insures almost all of its residents.”
Hey rush,now you know where your shoes were.

LimpBalm is going to be very disappointed with Costa Rica. The age of consent there is 15, which means all the boys he desires are “off limits.”
Left, Right, what’s the difference? The paradigm is a smoke and mirrors construct. Although, calling this an ‘irresistible offer’ is hilarious.
Elaine, you may have to modify your excellent poetry. This ending line – “And full of hot air!” is not accurate. One of the primary side-effects of OxyContin is constipation. So, as we suspected, Rush is full of something besides hot air!
