Speaking of conservative decency, what the hell is going on with Republicans thinking aloud about specific Democrats dying? Rush Limbaugh is obviously a sad and petty man--good people don't wish suffering on other people--but this thing about Ted Kennedy seems classless even for him. Ladies and gentlemen, your leader of the opposition!
Seriously, I wonder if Limbaugh realizes that Ted Kennedy is, in addition to a human being with feelings and anxieties of his own, a man whose family and friends love him and are undoubtedly upset at the though of losing him. Saying shit like this drives me absolutely bonkers because it isn't helpful and it isn't necessary--it's just mean. I don't know everything about Limbaugh, but I would hope that he has people that care for him, and I wonder if someone close to them were dying if he'd just blurt something out like that. And if not, why is he doing it to someone else?
What. An. Asshole.
