Was there no union responsibility for improving mine safety? Where was the union here? Where was the union? The union is generally holding these companies up demanding all kinds of safety. Why were these miners continuing to work in what apparently was an unsafe atmosphere?

Last Friday, Rush Limbaugh asked why a coal miner union didn’t protect the 29 miners who were killed when Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, WV, exploded under unsafe conditions:

He must be on the pills again, it was a nonunion mine...

He must be on the pills again, it was a nonunion mine...

Prowar drug addict who got out of a war because of a piumple on his butt seems to think that the union is at fault for a mine disaster in a mine that they don't have a presence in.

I will help you out. Rush is an idiot and anyone who actually believes anything he says is under suspicion also.

3rd time.

With people like this the knee jerk reaction is always "it had to be because of 'THEM'" no matter that the story is. Only this time "THEM" was not involved.

That and Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict who dodged the draft because of a pimple on his butt who must have relapsed to think that a union has control of a mine that they have no presence in.

You would think that Rush being a draft-dodging drug addict would endear him just a bit to those on the left...but some on the left can only show empathy and understanding to those with personal issues if they share their own leftist political views.

Not denying that. However, if Rush were a liberal, I highly doubt his draft-dodging drug addict background would even be worthy of mention since the left is all about "inclusion and understanding."

I can't really find anything Rush says funny, as he is just a dickhead blowhard who is causing more problems than he solves. People like him are the cause for the divide in this country.

Rush Limbaugh Obama’s Katrina Comment – U.S. President Barack Obama is receiving a number of criticisms for the recent oil spill. Rush Limbaugh recently went on to say that the incident would be remembered as “Obama’s Katrina,” in reference to the breaking of the levees when George Bush was still in office. However, after the statement was made, Media Matters for America also released a statement to counteract what Limbaugh had said on his radio program.
