Those of you who are familiar with his on-air proclivities (I don't listen to the man, but I check in at his website to see what the Evil Lump is up to), know that broadcaster Rush Limbaugh has a way with nicknames. To come up with them, he sometimes chooses the darkest moment from a politician's past and slaps a label on them to match the history (i.e. Ted Kennedy is "The Swimmer"; Robert Byrd is "Sheets" (due to his past association with the KKK); Sandy Berger becomes Sandy Burglar. You get the idea). Sometimes, though, he foregoes the "dark past" and just insults people physically, as in Louisiana Sen. Mary "Baby Fat" Landrieu. Cute, huh?
Now, Rush has also given himself a lot of cute nicknames, too: El Rushbo, the Maha Rushie. He's just ADORABLE that way. But none of them really has that oomph, you know? "Big Fat Idiot" was much more descriptive and appropriate. And lord knows he's got enough of a dark past to choose from: drug addiction, draft dodging, multiple marriages...the list goes on and on.
So the search begins for the most appropriate Rush nickname. Post your suggestions and then we will create a poll that will list the top 10 for consideration.
Go on. Get creative. We can all use the diversion.
