I usually\u00a0avoid writing about (or listening to) Rush Limbaugh.\u00a0 But\u00a0Limbaugh’s outrageous attack on the ailing Michael J. Fox,<\/a> followed by his non-apology apology, inspired me to write this pair of poems. First, my Rush haiku:<\/p>\n

Limbaugh’s Fox attack:
\nPestilence in broadcasting,
\nToxic radio.<\/p>\n

And now, my limerick:<\/p>\n

Limbaugh maligned Michael Fox,
\nWho is\u00a0ill and admired and\u00a0rocks.
\nBut drug popping Rush
\nDoesn’t know when to hush,
\nAnd he’s happy to sick people mock.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> For some Limbaugh laughs, check out Don Davis’s Limbaugh ‘Stays The Coarse’: Claims FDR Faked Polio,<\/a> and Limbaughtomy.<\/a>
\nAnd for your further reading (and viewing) pleasure:

\n*** Why did the Bush family, via daughter Jenna, purchase over 98,000 acres of land in Paraguay?<\/a> Scorpio has an interesting theory,<\/a> and Skippy has another good theory.<\/a> (Via Avedon Carol<\/a>)
