Rush Limbaugh Blames Volcanic Eruption On Healthcare Passage [Audio]

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Rush Limbaugh is never one to bite his tongue especially when it comes to anything and everything related to President Obama and his healthcare reform bill.

In the conservative shock jock's latest asinine statement he blames President Obama and the Democrats' passing of the healthcare reform bill for the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokul volcano in Iceland.

Ash from the eruption has shut down airports overseas for several days now and even blocked the President from attending the Polish President's funeral over the weekend.

According to Racist Rush it's “God speaking” citing the fact that more airspace has been affected by ash from the volcano than after 9/11. He also mentions that since the “earth has opened up” he hopes it's a rebirth and not an Armageddon.

"You know, a couple of days after the health care bill had been signed into law, Obama ran around all over the country saying, "Hey, you know, I'm looking around. The earth hadn't opened up. No Armageddon out there. The birds are still chirping.

I think the earth has opened up. God may have replied. This volcano in Iceland has grounded more airplanes - airspace has more affected - than even after 9/11 because of this plume, because of this ash cloud over Northern and Western Europe. ... It's got everybody just in a shutdown. Earth has opened up. I don't know whether it's a rebirth or Armageddon. Hopefully it's a rebirth, God speaking..."


Uhhh yeah.

Listen to more of this prolific speaker below.

In other news we're all anxiously waiting for Rush to leave the country since he promised to leave if the Healthcare Reform Bill passed.

Don't worry, we'll wait.

Courtroom Erupts In Violence After Man Receives Life In Prison [Video]

Monday, April 19th, 2010

A 19-year-old Milwaukee man had to be subdued and pepper sprayed Friday after reacting violently in court to a sentence of life in prison without parole.

Seandell Jackson received a life sentence for the murder of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee student Nathan Potter in a botched robbery.

In February police say Jackson approached the college student and demanded he give him his money, when the boy told him he didn't have any, he shot him.

Sheriff Deputies were on edge at the sentencing Friday because Jackson has a track record of bad behavior in the court room.

At previous proceedings he was seen smiling and leering at the victim's family and would often curse and yell at them.

When he heard he was receiving life with no chance of parole, sheriff's rushed to subdue him and had to wrestle him to the ground. He is seen flipping one officer over his shoulder.

Members of his family can be heard in the video screaming and crying while one of the relatives reportedly told the victim's family,

“I hate you, I hate you all.”
