Kurt, please do not try to defend what Rush says about this, joking or not, context or not, this is just plain asinine.  I do not take Rush seriously, the problem is he has a lot of listeners that do. I do not try to justify Al Gore's mansions, please do not try to justify these remarks.

Yes, having heard the words and the tone, yes he was kidding about the rig being blown up on purpose, at least that is my personal conclusion.  It is a big stretch from his actual words to what the headline states.  The headline represents the words as an actual quote.

Yes, oil oozes from the floor of the ocean all over the globe, naturally.  And the ocean does deal with it.  Another fact.

This however is a man caused disaster, and requires rapid intervention.  It is fair to note that it took BHO 12 days to show up and check out the disaster first hand.  Pretty casual response to what is going to no doubt be one of the greatest ecological disasters of the 21st Century.  Any fifth grader figured that out by day 3 when the well was found to still be leaking. 

One could say that Limbaugh's remark mirrors the casuality of BHO's response.

I don't take Limbaugh very seriously, but I do listen and he does make sense now and then.

It makes me jibber, too, I guess.

So, Kurt, Rush was "jus' kiddin'"?  Seems to me it's just more mean-ness veiled behind sarcasm.  I used to spend a lot of time listening to Rush, and "kiddin'" is not something the man can pull off without ulterior motive.

Was he kiddin' here, too?

"You do survive these things. I'm not advocating don't care about it hitting the shore or coast and whatever you can do to keep it out of there is fine and dandy, but the ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there," Limbaugh said. "It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is."

I mean, all kidding aside, that kind of attitude is Just Plain Stupid

OK, I listen to Rush occasionally and did in fact hear the quote aired live last Thursday.

So, since they're sending SWAT teams down there, folks, since they're sending SWAT teams to inspect the other rigs, what better way to head off more oil drilling, nuclear plants, than by blowing up a rig? I'm just noting the timing here.

It was said with tongue in cheek.  Very different than what the headline implies.  As usual, another over reaction to a smart ass remark by Limbaugh.  He says things knowing he will be misconstued and misquoted.  There is a whole industry devoted to listening and twisting his words.  As usual, context matters.  People take this guy much too seriously.  But on the other hand, some people still believe that the New York Times is a credible newspaper, so go figure.

What a load of crap!  The SWAT teams are actually down there looking for Conan O'Brien!  Conan was pissed that Jay Leno took back the Tonight Show and retaliated in a way that would truly hurt Leno.  Leno is well known for his love of automobiles, so Conan figured if he was able to at least temporarily reduce the supply of crude oil, Leno might not get to drive his gas-guzzling vehicles or, at the very least, have to pay more for the gas.  This was just an act of retaliation from an immature comedian.

Or it was Marilyn Manson's fault.

I dunno, I reckon this would be just as at home in the WTF and Oh The Stupidity threads as well.
