It takes a pretty sick mind to come up with the many things that Limbaugh has been spewing over the years, but this one could be his "David" moment.

Jed Lewison:

You'd have to be on some pretty strong drugs to believe this rant from Rush Limbaugh:

What Mr. Loughner knows is that he has the full support of a major political party in this country. He's sitting there in jail. He knows what's going on, he knows that...the Democrat party is attempting to find anybody but him to blame. He knows if he plays his cards right, he's just a victim. He's the latest in a never-ending parade of victims brought about by the unfairness of America...this guy clearly understands he's getting all the attention and he understands he's got a political party doing everything it can, plus a local sheriff doing everything that they can to make sure he's not convicted of murder - but something lesser.

As Steve Benen points out, it'll be interesting to see if any Republican out there is finally willing to repudiate this nonsense.

My pal Benen better use scuba diving equipment if he plans to wait for Republicans to repudiate RushBo. How has that turned out before? Pretty soon Limbaugh will be saying that Pelosi bought the Glock and Reid picked up the ammo.
