Moos Short: Rush Abroad

Rush Limbaugh said he would leave the USA within five years to receive health care if the current health care legislation in this country is passed. Umm…Rush…how is you promising to leave, even for a short health care trip (you may want to discuss the length of your trip with your physician since it doesn’t seem like you have a clean medical history), going to change any Democrat’s, liberal’s, or progressive’s mind on this legislation? Seriously, isn’t this like Osama bin Laden saying “if America doesn’t pull out of Afghanistan tomorrow I will shoot myself in the leg?” Might we suggest a different strategy on your part…promise to text all 535 members of the legislative body “nekkid pics” of your body covered in grape jelly, if it passes.

We’re just trying to point out that your statement to leave, for any amount of time, like how some Hollywood-types statements of leaving the country for awhile over their view of the Bush Administration, might not be have the intended outcome. But, you might be able to get Democrats to earmark you a few one-way international plane tickets if you play your cards right.
