• Plaxico Burress: Happiness Is a Warm Gun -- And Warm Weather

  Hey, South Florida, I know a six-foot-five, 230-pound troubled wide receiver who needs a hug. Come on. By South Florida troublemaker standards, Plaxico Burress is a pussycat. Can we keep him? Huh, can we? There aren't too many places with open arms for the big guy these days. On top of the felony charges -- and possible prison term -- he's facing in New York, over the past three years, Burress has had arrest warrants or restraining orders issued in his name in both Penns

• Limbaugh Grants Rare Access to Silly Ideas, Contributes to Poop Problem in Palm Beach

  Rush Limbaugh granted a rare interview recently to a reporter from the London Telegraph, even giving Nigel Farndale access to his secret lair. Nigel reports that he went to a nondescript building 100 yards from the ocean that was fairly accessible and included no imperial stormtroopers:He calls it his 'Southern Command', having spent most of his career broadcasting from New York, and describes it on air as 'heavily fortified', yet when you travel up in a lift and step into a glass and leather re

• Unearthed Cookbook Proves Rush Limbaugh Was Tortured as a Child

  Hopeless jackass and Palm Beach county resident Rush Limbaugh has a particularly ridiculous sound byte traveling around the internet lately in which he's basically quoted as saying he doesn't want the Obama doctrine to succeed. The quote came from an interview Limbaugh did with Sean Hannity, in which Hannity asks the big guy, directly, if he wants Obama to be a successful president. Granted, when the clip was shown on the Daily Show, Limbaugh's answer was presented out of context, making it loo

• Palm Beach's Limbaugh to Head Failed GOP Party; Pride Fest Teases Right Wing

  Limbaugh, from his Auschwitz days.The White House has anointed Palm Beach resident Rush Limbaugh as head of the failed political organization called the Republican Party, which is now made up of abortion protesters, religious zealots, and aging prison guards from Auschwitz. The administration's knighthood of Limbaugh came after he said he hopes President Obama will fail, which is as un-American as enjoying news clips from 9/11 or cheering for Capt. Drago in Rocky IV. But Limbaugh is a hometown b

• Conservatives Rise Up, Hit Local Streets

  This week, even his most ardent haters had to be stunned at Rush Limbaugh's remarkable political sway. The conservative radio host, who broadcasts from a "bunker" in Palm Beach, got an "Obama bump" when the prez dissed him publicly, casually remarking that Republicans ought to stop listening to his show. Turns out, the president's words may have had the opposite effect.  Days ago, Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, agreed that Limbaugh didn't deserve much attenti

  Man, what a lame crop of Rush Limbaugh insults the national Democrats have selected as their finalists in the West Palm Beach billboard of hate campaign. "Americans Didn't Vote for a Rush to Failure"Limbaugh will just say, "Well, a vote for Obama was the quickest way to failure, so technically you did." Next."Hope and Change Cannot Be Rush'd."Can we just agree not to use the name "Rush" in pun form? I mean, if this were merely the headline in some quick blog post, that would be one thing, but th

  Doesn't really look like Obama, but he smiles. And he's black(ish).After eight years of watching Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Michael Moore crack wise over the dunderheadedness of a Republican president, the arrival of a Democrat in the Oval Office means the Republican humorists get their turn.But this campaign got off to a rocky, racist start. There was the Rush Limbaugh-approved Barack the Magic Negro, which had all the subtlety of a minstrel show. Our state of Florida made a few embarrass

• Limbaugh Traveling Billboard Draws Attention to Huge Douche

  Democrats unveiled the anti-Rush Limbaugh traveling billboard in West Palm Beach yesterday, showing that party leaders never learned that you're supposed to ignore a bully to make him go away.The billboard, plastered on the side of a truck, reads: "Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure." As soon as it was revealed, it sparked debate on the street by liberals and conservatives who are apparently easily set off by such things as billboards and radio talk show buffoons. It's important to reme

Smith retired in Sarasota six years ago and declared his candidacy this month. If elected, he would be the first in the august chamber's history to ever serve two different states. That's a big if.For one thing, Smith is almost sure to face Gov. Charlie Crist, he of the soaring approval ratings, w

Because clearly, there's no path back to political relevance for the Republican Party that does not include winning back Florida. And yet the two figures who have the most credibility on that front, governors Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist, are being tossed aside by the radio personality turned voice of the party as well as by others on the party's far right.During a time when Limbaugh was preaching his

  Republicans like Newt Gingrich are pretty sure that Sonia Sotomayor is racist against white men, but just to make sure, the U.S. Senate's only Hispanic Republican, Mel Martinez, went in for a closer look. As you can see in the video above, the Florida senator exchanged some awkward Spanish with the Supreme Court nominee and then, well... he sounded kinda starstruck.

Barney Frank responded to a protester who, carrying an Obama-as-Nazi poster, likened the president's health-care reform to Nazi policy. Besides failing to mention that Frank is Jewish, leave it to our hometown assclown and homophobe Rush Limbaugh to show his age (10) and use the protester as an opportunity to make a joke about Frank's sexual orientation.
