The departure of Rush Limbaugh for Costa Rica is now imminent with the passage of the second health care legislation — the so-called fixes of the original bill. Limbaugh threatened earlier that if Congress dared to pass the legislation he would leave for Costa Rica, here. It was an offer that Congress could simply not pass up.
In his prior radio interview, Limbaugh stated to a listener: “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.”

OxyContin.
Here, Rush. Let me help further.
Where is the House of OxyContin?
¿Dónde está la Casa de OxyContin?
How much for all of it?
¿Cuánto cuesta todo esto?

“I don’t think Winston is a good idea – he might catch the plane before it gets off the runway”
Day made!:-))))))
Slarti…
Ok, mum’s the word
Canadian Eh,
I believe that Costa Rica has single payer too… Don’t let Rush know, though – he might not get on the plane!
Einbob,
I don’t think Winston is a good idea – he might catch the plane before it gets off the runway.
Ole Rushbo HAS put his New York penthouse on the market–for a paltry $13.95 million. You might want to take a gander at pictures of his palatial pad. Looks like Louis XIV was resurrected to help Rushbo decorate his domicile.

this is the funniest thing I read today… I love it…
I’m glad to see that he’s chosen Costa Rica and not Canada as his future home, perhaps it’s our socialist health care system that turned him off!
Slartibartfast:
touche!!,And BTW that pit bull “winston” may help put some pep in his step getting on the plane.
The big fat idiot is now attacking an 11 year old boy.

Professor Turley,
How thoughtful of you to provide that helpful lexicon for Rush.
Einbob,
‘Small’ isn’t the adjective that comes to mind when discussing Rush (unless you’re talking about his mind…)
Elaine,
Oh, the humanity! 😉
Professor Turley,
I doubt that a blimp needs an airplane for transportation. Rush can float right on over to Costa Rica on his own hot air.
The drugster Rush “Pedro” Limbaugh is going to the source of his affections eh?
Vaya con oxycontin senor Rapido (Spanish for “Rush”) …
He has 5 years to get packed. How much Cotton can this man take, of course for personal consumption?
As I said before hannity(small H)promised to get waterboarded,now rush says he will go to Costa Rico should health care pass,Hey rush(small R)remember we got you guys on tape.
Oh but Thank You! Prof. Turley, your post started my day with a laugh 🙂
sorry mespo,
I’m about to drop some vitamin serious in your am brew.
Accepting that those of Limbaughs ilk are humorous is just what allows them to keep doing what they do. And it’s thier last ditch excuse as well. They feed minds. Most minds haven’t yet reached a point of critical filtering never mind thinking. The Rushs and thier extreme left counterpart are just plain dangerous in my opinion. I have tried to listen to his spew…it makes me ill, quite literally, ill on a physical level.
I consider Rush humorous. Why would any sane person take him seriously? He’s there for the money. BTW and if you get the time, you might want to browse through Websters. Take a look at the entry for “sarcasm.”
Mespo: If you consider what Lush Rimbaugh vomits out on the airwaves as humor, you are a VERY sick individual.
Turley, you’re a hard man. We need Rush. Who would provide our lunchtime humor?
