MediaMatters cataches old Rushbo in flagrante:

On September 10, MoveOn.org's much-discussed advertisement headlined "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" critical of Gen. David Petraeus, appeared in The New York Times. On the September 11 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called the advertisement "contemptible" and "indecent." However, months earlier, on his radio show, he told his audience that he had a new name for Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE): "Senator Betrayus." [Ed. note:  Senator Hagel served in Vietnam and has two purple hearts]  On the January 25 broadcast (subscription required) of his radio show, Limbaugh broke from his commentary on an interview of Vice President Dick Cheney on the January 24 edition of CNN's The Situation Room to say: "By the way, we had a caller call, couldn't stay on the air, got a new name for Senator Hagel in Nebraska, we got General Petraeus and we got Senator Betrayus, new name for Senator Hagel." A day earlier, Hagel had sided with Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in voting to approve a nonbinding resolution declaring that Bush's escalation in Iraq was against "the national interest."

Of course Rush dodged Vietnam complaining about his incapacitating anal cyst, which somehow didn't stop him from making a career out of sitting on his ass.

Meanwhile Chuck Hagel was over in Vietnam getting shot twice.

To apply the right's own rules, Rush should have his whole damn show taken away for insulting a soldier.

Too bad the Senate can't do that, but they can do something else: pass a resolution condemning Rush for saying "BetrayUs"!

Comments

Rush

wants his stash of drugs to continue. He like some of the other Repubs only has his job because he can be bribed to lie.

Rush is a drug abuser yet didn't do any jail time. He's not even a drug loving "liberal".
