Donny Deutsch Calls Rush Limbaugh A "Douche" On Air
By Logan Murphy Tuesday Oct 13, 2009 5:00pm(h/t Think Progress for the video)
Tuesday morning on Morning Joe, CNBC host Donny Deutsch had a few choice words to describe Rush Limbaugh, including "megalomaniac" and a "scary, distasteful human being." He didn't stop there, though. He had another word in mind and let's just say, it wasn't pretty:
Then, a few minutes later, Scarborough and Deutsch discussed Limbaugh's potential part-ownership an NFL team and the comments that led to his departure from ESPN. During the conversation, the audio cut out while Deutsch was talking and Scarborough said, semi-laughing, "...bleeped that out again. Why did you have to do that? Why?" Donny later explained, "I called Rush Limbaugh a feminine hygiene product that starts with a D and sounds like my last name. It was bleeped you can't say that on TV." At the end of the program Mika Brzezinski claimed, "I learned that you can't do a show with Donny without him saying something perverted." Read on...
John Amato has forbidden me from using the "D word" to describe the likes of Limbaugh and Beck for years -- all for the better, no doubt. Should Deutsch have used the word on air? Probably not. Was he right? We report, you decide...

Sometimes the truth hurts.
Limbaugh seems wound up or something. A little rest and relaxation would fix that up for him, or other stuff... whatever it takes for him to rest his ever active brow and make his brain cells happy - if only for a day. Perhaps some water skiing in the keys...
take his illegal drugs.
We have junk politics and junk political discourse. It shows up everywhere.
As broken as the government is, it still has a few redeeming points. The inadvisability of douching for those otherwise so inclined, here
Important information that could help to make the practice obsolete, as it should be. However, there is no information on improving the juvenile male mind.
"Douche"? Really? That's a bleepable word? I don't recall it being on the "7 Dirty Words" list.
However true it may be, it is inappropriate and unprofessional for a news anchor to refer to someone that way.
It's childish and very much like something FatAss himself would do.
See, I'm not a news anchor, nor am I on TV, so I can be as childish as I want about that POS.
But don't give the fat troll ammunition.
One other thing: Mika thinks douches are "perverted"? That would explain a lot about her AND her (lack of) Hygiene.
maybe that's it.
There's a rather off-color and off-putting joke there, with the use of the word "surrender". But I'm not going to go there, EVER.
"surrender French douches"...but I'm not totally up on all the hipness that is available...
:D
like "abandon all hope, ye who enter here."
I heard that sign was over Bing Crosby's house.
has multiple uses.
:)
.
And as a French sword fighter with a head cold would say, "Douche."
It's DOUCHE.
;)
Or do you mean Douche!
.. in France (as in much of Europe) it means "shower" ..
Don't make it a golden one.
Douche D'Or?
don't Google it.
Or do Google it, if you dare.
to know THAT one...
:D
Hmmm, Douche D'Or ... is that what a guy does after a Palme d'Or?
;)
We just grow hair on our Palmes.
In the book, Dracula had hair on his palms.
Now we know what he does in his coffin all day.
else is there to do in there?
I get the sense that there are some very hairy palms around here ....
hehe
If I did I'd used them as transplants in my thinning patch.

Like what happened with Danae?
get all Greek mythology on me!
I had to Wiki it to double check.
French: "Douche"
Dutch: "Douche"
Italian: "Doccia"
German: "Dusche"
Spanish: "Ducha"
Swedish: "Dusch"
Norwegian: "Dusj"
(All, including the English term, are derived from the French, I believe.)
Personally I'll never be able to take offense at 'douche'. Being multi-lingual myself, the 'shower' meaning is deeply ingrained.
Anyone who only knows the word as a derogative euphemism is uneducated and probably shouldn't be making decisions on which words are offensive.
Then you've got the folks who then proceed to laugh at shower products named 'douche'.. How stupid can it get?
'douche' also derives from the Latin word 'ductio', which means 'a leading away', precisely what Rush does for a living.
...douche bag, perhaps you could try sleaze bag or scum bag? There are plenty of alternatives that work just as well on the tea baggers. Oh yeah, there's that one too. ;-)
is slang for a used condom
just FULL of information tonight?
;)
other nights, not so much...
You are making me lmao, btw
It's the only way to survive most of the content on C&L.
Or I'd be sobbing incessantly.
Well there's also scuz bucket,
But other than myself, does anybody hold that much?
I suppose equating Rush with feminine hygiene products would be an insult to those products. I'd stick with the factual stuff, like obese drug addict. Let's keep the hygiene products clean out of this arena.
Bout the only way he'll get stuck up a wazoo.
(You can say wazoo can't you?)
Only when you sneeze.
time in Palm Beach County jail off Gun Club Rd for his drug possession/prescription falsifying charges, like so many other Palm Beach County residents are currently doing.
Of course, the rich are different from you and me.
Rush 'Puke' Limbaugh spawns hate . Now we know where Glenn Beck came from. Most of us thought he crawled out from a roadkill's dirty wound.
The only thing Limdick ever spawned was the anal cyst he used to avoid combat duty.
...and how and from where do you suppose Rush LimpJaw got his "anal" cyst?
ROTFLMAO
they are starting to attack their own. Let's hope they keep it up.
Altho...apology issued in 5..4..3..2..
Yes they are, isn't it delicious?!!

Or the Olsen twins.

my point as usual.
Ew.
Don't tell me George Carlin let me down; I don't know if I'll make it through another day...
BTW, isn't "douchebag" one of Eric Cartman's favorite words?
Really, what gives?
Screw you guys...I'm going home....
I'm sure he was taunted with it as a kid. Glad to see him take command of it.
And, oh yeah, fuck rush.
rash limpballs is Dutch?
...no, Rush LimpJaw [use your imagination where that idea came from!!] is MOST DEFINITELY GREEK!!!
LOL
I would say Doric, since they invaded the Greeks.
...but "Greek" is the way they did it, ysbaddaden!
They way they did it to ysbaddaden?
I thought I felt a tickle back there.
...and "Greek" is certainly Rush LimpJaw's way -- at least with little boys!
And yet look what gets past the censors:

You were really hard on the Beaver last night.
You're on fire tonight, Liberalicious!
in my manic phase.
;)
period.
He was?

adam sandler is to comedy what rash limpballs is to political commentary.
And I think jim carrey is single-handedly trying to ruin Christmas for everybody once and for all.
When he was a kid he got in trouble for single-handedly going to the bathroom.
... since he probably heard it in place of his name about a million times in high school.
Nothing he says could be more offensive than the fact that Rush Limbaugh still gets air time on any medium.

ROTFLMAO
He actually said "revved up like a deuce".
;)
Actually deuce is the appropriate BBC accepted term for hell, as in, "What the deuce?"
I still have no idea what the lyrics mean.

Do you own stock in You Tube or sumptin'?

I love the Madness - One Step Beyond video. Awesome!
I really have to take issue with Deutsch's remark. There is NO FUCKING WAY I would ever have Rush Limbaugh up my vagina.
I'm hoping that you never could get that thing in there.
I mean, an
elephantsperm whale would have a tough time of it.Though the severity of that objective is far lower. :)
I cannot believe It. Someone that hates that anti-union big mouthed know it all.
GOOD OL BOY Rush always out to humiliate or embarrass someone. With facts that no one really cares about. Never done a real days work in his life! "...just the GOOD OL BOYS...never meanin' no harm" IDIOTS
That's like saying "toilet" is a dirty word. Ridiculous.
What's the world come to that it's okay to call the elected president of the U.S. a Marxist, a Nazi, a Communist or a Fascist on virtually any channel, but call a foul-mouthed, racist talk-show host a "douchebag" and you've crossed the line???
And I would still like to know when this word (and perhaps what others) was added to the unutterable list made famous by George Carlin. Was it under bushco, to appease the Xtian douchebags? Or maybe Tipper Gore during the war on music lyrics?
...I would specifically allow the use of the word "asshole" on the air.
It's pungent, but it's succinct, expressive, and evocative. It says exactly what it means. "Donny Says Douche" is no big deal. I look forward to the day when--as Aretha sings--"let's call this thing exactly what it is."
The use of the word "asshole" is permissible, so long as it does not refer to the anus, or in any way relate to bodily functions of defecation.
"That guy is a flaming asshole" is fine.
"I've got diarrhea, and it is giving me a flaming asshole" is not.
I thought pungent was the tip-off.
That's my ambition in life, to be a real pungent.
"You can prick your finger, but you can't finger your Pri**"

I believe the term refers to an empty headed womanizer. In a sense it's probably true.
I've called Limbaugh all sorts of names, mostly I simply refer to him as fat boy, it's the nicest thing I can say about the fat fraud.
It was in speaking Limbaugh's name that Deutsch mentioned something perverted.
calling limpballs a douche is an insult to douches.
Where did they find this bleach blonde, ding-bat that sits by Scar and just bats or rolls her eyes??? She really acts and looks ridicious.
because Limbaugh is not a douche, or a douche bag, he is in fact a douche nozzle.
The reason why it shouldn't be condoned is because it's name calling. And that's not professional. But also not professional, is being a stupid twit, which aptly describes Mika Brzezinski for saying that Deutsch is a pervert for saying the word douche. Douches and douching are not perverted. Can we get her a new brain along with a new dictionary, or is she permanently fucked?
We should never see any of those Feminine Hygiene DOUCHE Commercials on that network; I suppose?
No one on C&L says a word when Jon Stewart uses the word, yet when Deutsch uses it, it's a problem? Not even when videos of Stewart have appeared on this very site?
If C&L wants to set different standards of language for comedians, opinion commentators, and journalists, fine. But don't pretend that the word has never been said.
If you noticed people seemed amused not outraged, save for yourself.
It's finally a break in the republican facade we've been waiting for.
You make the mistake of ignorance by assuming that it bothers me.
I was pointing out that inconsistencies can be used as ammunition against C&L. Reichwingers love to look for single inconsistencies to "prove" an entire progressive site is "propaganda".
Or did that thought never occur to you?
Sprechen sie Deutsch?
