Ron Reagan Junior: 'Limbaugh Hasn't Had a Natural Erection Since the Nixon Administration'

They used to mock the manhood of Ron Reagan ("Junior") for being a ballet dancer. But Junior is striking back on his leftist Air America radio show. He would not stand for Rush Limbaugh joking about Nancy Pelosi shaking from "Botox withdrawal," and even recycled a January routine in which Limbaugh joked to keep the birth rate down, "simply put pictures of Nancy Pelosi ... in every cheap motel room." Reagan Junior unloaded on Limbaugh being on thin ice for making erection jokes (click here for audio):

Limbaugh hasn't had a natural erection since the Nixon Administration; think he's compensating for something? Now, I wouldn't pick on him for any of this stuff, not his blubbiness, not his man-boobs, not his inability to have a natural erection -- none of that stuff -- to me, off limits until! until! -- Mr. Limbaugh, you turn that sort of gun on somebody else -- once you start doing that, you're fair game, fat boy. Absolutely, you jiggly pile of mess. You're just fair game, and you're going to get it, too. [Laughs] You'd better watch what you say, Limbaugh, because it can come back the other way.

Junior also strangely claimed that Pelosi looks pretty good for a grandma, but Limbaugh looks like "the unholy spawn of Tony Soprano and the Michelin Man."

He also jumped all over CNN analyst Alex Castellanos joking that "If Speaker Pelosi were still capable of human facial expression, she'd be embarrassed" by the "Nixon-like position" she's in. He said "This from a guy who looks like he just stepped out of a road production of [the Harvey Fierstein drag-queen musical] La Cage Aux Folles."

Ron Jr.

This is a perfect example of why Leftist Talk Radio fails. Who wants to listen to a JR. High rant from someone who is supposed to be an adult?

Ron, I'm sure your daddy loved you, but you do a disservice to his memory.

HAHAHA, LIMBAUGH GOT OWNED!! RON REAGAN JR. RULES!

hahahahahaha, gas bag limbaugh is a drug addict!

 

Another stupid liberal

Makes personal attacks and the bugs come out of the woodwork. I wonder why the stupid liberal didnt attack Rush's words, oh thats right he would need a brain to do that. Nice cheer rh

 

My Gov. thinks I am dangerous, so be careful

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

They never learn

The adolescents at Air America will never learn. And they will never grow up. Yes,this is exactly why they fail. Most responsible , intelligent people( right or left ) don't want to listen to this garbage. What a shame that this man-child's name is Ronald Reagan.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

Too bad he didn't change his name to...

Ron Davis to save further embarrassment to his great father.  Contrary to the main stream media, no one hates like a "Liberal white male".  If what he says isn't hate, it'll do until the next Liberal white male (?) opens his mouth.  Anderson Cooper anyone?  Jim Webster

Maybe Junior's a little

Maybe Junior's a little defensive because it's so obvious that with regard to Stretch Pelosi's "enhancements", he's having what she's having.  With witty commentary such as this, is it any wonder the network is known as Dead Air Amerika.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

Par for the liberal course

A personal attack

Junior isn't worthy to shine his dad's shoes, and that has nothing to do with him being in ballet. It's all about class and character

I have only ever made one prayer to God, a very short one: O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it - Voltaire

As a kid, the family was preparing to go to Church.

The father opened Junior's door and said "Let's hurry and get dressed son, we're running late".  The son said and I paraphrase, "I ain't going to Church any more because I don't believe that stuff!"  Says a lot, I do believe.  Jim Webster

From a "guy"

wearing a tutu. You get old enough you see it all. 

Profit

I guess that Ron Jr. has learned from Meagan McCain how profitable it can be to cheapen the legacy their fathers have built. 

Ron Reagan

jessieH          Name calling again. Let him rant. He doesn't matter. He can't go "toe-to-toe" with Rush on any subject, so he throws a tantrum.

Ron is apparently too stupid...

...to realize that the gun can also be turned on him. There is certainly more negative stuff out there about that little sissy than there is about Limbaugh. He looks like a cross between Kermit the Frog and Eleanor Clift.

Wow....

ZING! That was great!

 

 As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks.

Wow, Jen.. Ron Reagan, Jr.

Wow, Jen.. Ron Reagan, Jr. and Family Guy.  It doesn't take much to amuse you.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

Wow Jen,

you sure got us with that witty comment.  Too much to ask after a night of sex, drugs, and protesting over baby seals?

 

When the people fear the government it's called tyranny, when the government fears the people it's called liberty!

I don't listen to Air

I don't listen to Air America, but if Rush can take potshots at people, he should fully expect for others to take potshots at him.

Yeah, bal.  Somehow I

Yeah, bal.  Somehow I doubt Limbaugh will be too bothered by this "withering" (and highly original) riposte.  This one can be filed in the "if a tree falls in the woods..." category.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

Agreed, but with two provisions

If Rush uses ridicule, he should expect ridicule in return. Agreed.

  • But where he offers serious arguments, shouldn't his detractors answer with serious arguments in return? Or does any use of ridicule mean that opponents can ignore any legitimate argument and just resort to ridicule all the time?
  • If a person uses political ridicule and calls it comedy ... e.g., Bill Maher, Wanda Sykes, numerous others ... doesn't that mean it's open season on them in return?

Again, the Founding Fathers created a place where the people, through their representatives, could conduct serious debate. It was intended to be a free exchange of ideas, always with respect and courtesy. It's called Congress. The senate was specifically designed to conduct serious, respectful debate.

Instead, our national "debate" is conducted through the media. See how well that's turned out ...

 

Bingo!

We have a winner!!

Absolutely right, KC. 

It doesn't mean opponents

It doesn't mean opponents should ignore the argument, but when anyone adds ridicule to a good argument, they lessen that argument and distract from their own point. So you should expect people to ignore the good.

If you go after Sykes, Maher, etc., you should go after them in the same context, if that makes sense.

"I hope his kidneys fail" - Wanda Sykes on Rush Limbaugh

I'm open to your contextual analysis on this statement, bal.  I'm particularly interested in how the realization of such an event would not involve severe health problems for Mr. Limbaugh.

You have the floor.

"I was fighting a war in Iraq!" - Nancy Lugosi

Here's what I would've said,

Here's what I would've said, had I been Rush: "Sorry, my kidneys will be around a long time...unlike Wanda's movie career."

or

"My kidneys will continue to function much like Wanda's acting career: serviceable, and in the background."

But make it in a light-hearted moment so that you can say, just like Wanda's defenders, "It was a joke, a jokey moment." 

 

(I thought that Sykes' line was a little much, but it works when she said "He said he wants your policies to fail. Well I want his kidneys to fail." Still a bit rough, but funny use of fail in reference to what Rush said. )

→ A little much?

So if I break out the jokes about Sickle Cell Anemia, it only rises to the level of "a little much"?

What if Rush comes back with that Sickle Cell joke?  "A little much"?

I didn't ask you how you think Rush should have replied, I asked how Sykes' comment could be taken contextually, in some other light than stated.

"I was fighting a war in Iraq!" - Nancy Lugosi

Re a little much

Given the Bamster's history of Cocaine use, talking about his nose falling off might be more appropriate.

→ Maybe

Or, given the accusation of homosexuality during Obama's cocaine use, an AIDS joke might be funny?

Gosh, this Liberal hate-comedy isn't so hard to throw together after all.

And it's only "a little much".  Wow, should I feel freed by this insight into comedic liberty?

"I was fighting a war in Iraq!" - Nancy Lugosi

Re maybe

Your comment reminded me of this caption contest: http://www.aconservativelesbian.com

See, you can't go with

See, you can't go with sickle cell, because that's too specific to African Americans. Kidney failure isn't specific to white guys. If Rush had a personal connection to kidney failure, I'd have viewed it as much worse. But a random mention of kidney failure isn't AS bad. If Rush was having dialysis, that's really bad. But hanging the comment on the word "fail" ties it back to Rush's "fail" statement. She doesn't really want his kidneys to fail.  

→ Why not bal?

Kidney failure is too specific to those who ingest toxins.  Don't forget the kidney failure comment immediately followed a joke about Rush's abuse of Oxycontin.

"I was fighting a war in Iraq!" - Nancy Lugosi

Well I shouldn't say "can't

Well I shouldn't say "can't go with sickle cell." It just doesn't seem to be on the same level as kidney failure. Just my opinion. Yes, drugs - kidney failure, but Rush never actually suffered from that, so it's not quite as bad, IMO.

→ Perfect analogy then

Since there's no evidence Wanda Sykes or Obama have suffered from Sickle Cell, the analogy would be perfect if Rush were to make it.

You're not yet dissuading me from seeing a parallel of hatred between Sykes' very real comment versus my hypothetical.

"I was fighting a war in Iraq!" - Nancy Lugosi

I know. That's the joy of

I know. That's the joy of debate.

Sickle Cell is too race-specific. I'd go with something else like hoping Wanda's pancreas develops walking pneumonia, or hoping her liver not just fails but flunks out and winds up at beauty school, something like that.  

C'mon! NO reaction to that

C'mon! NO reaction to that great liver line? Harrumph.

Personally, bal... I

I thought it was hilarious.  Conservatives just don't have a sense of humor.

Your statement appears to

Your statement appears to be true on its face, but when you look at what is actually said about Rush compared to what others say about him, and put it in the context of whatever the issues of a particular discussion are, you will find that the vitriol, hate and childishness, etc. reside fully and completely on the Left.

For example.  A few years back, Rush played the song My Boy Lollipop to intro his Barney Frank update.  People used that to claim Rush is an anti-gay bigot.  But when you look at the context and realize that this came about because Frank was in a bit of trouble over a gay prostitution ring being operated by a friend of his out of his office, any reasonable person would have to acknowledge that Rush's use of that song was perfectly consistent with the subject matter at hand (and was funny, too), and that the charges of bigotry were completely unfounded and amounted to nothing more than an attempt to shift the focus away from Barney's scandal.

One more thing, I don't think I ever heard Rush make a joke of hoping someone would die.

mattm... Bulls-Eye. I

mattm...

Bulls-Eye.

I remember that parody too, plus the latest in regard to Barney, The Banking Queen, says it all too.

People really need to listen to the words and it what it pertains to...but that is never what the leftists do...their agenda is just attack the messenger...as they have forever when it comes to Rush...to no avail...if anything, it brings a bigger listening audience to Rush...

What fools the left are at times...

The big picture of the constant attacks on Rush is to get rid of him and conservative talk radio via the Fairness Doctrine, or whatever title and means they use to do so...and we all know it.

Is Air America even still on?

I thought it was bankrupt. I didn't even know it still existed. If this guy didn't have Reagan after his name, he would be a nobody.

Michael is a decade older

Michael is a decade older than Jr., and it shows.  As the youngest child ("Hey, look at ME!") and a 60s/70s child (born in '58), Jr. is the poster kid for the ME generation.  His behavior, lifestyle, and attitudes are all clear indicators.

I did want to ad in that we saw that comment from Costellanos...and cracked up laughing here....he usually doesn't make quips like that, so it took me by surprise..but I sure loved it...and how true his words are...

Something the left can't handle...they never lighten up, ever.

Guess Ronnie is trying to gain some attention to himself and his show...sure a piss poor way to do it...what a pathetic guy he is...if he ever lost his job on DeadAirAmerika, why he can always join msnbc...he'd fit right in....snug as a bug in a rug.

Uh...

Ewwwie, Ron--how do you know?

Nancy's children turned out to be very spoiled & very insolent

little malcontents.

He can be proud of his first two. Hey, batting .500 in...

baseball ain't bad.  The father would never have said anything bad about his next two, because he had too much class.  I'm sure in private, he had a lot to say.  Ron Reagan doesn't appear on TV (MSNBC, mostly) much any more, but when he did, no one changed channels faster than I did.  Could it be, he is still on TV under the guise of Rachel Maddow?  Jim Webster

no, Junior... bad boy

Junior's playin' with fire.  He ain't anywhere near the same league as Rush.  That boy's a-gonna git hisself burnt!

Come to think of it, Ron looks rather hastily put together, himself.  Nature coulda spent a little extra time with him.

Now, Ron, try debating Rush on something substantive and issue-related.  Bon chance!

You know, Libs aren't even funny, they're just plain miserable, nasty people.

These people won the election, have a majority in both houses of congress and they're still pi$$ed! How does one's entire existense revolve around daily misery?

Free cheese and ballet slippers for all - !

Ron Jr. should NEVER mention "erections" outside the presence of Perez Hilton.  Apparently Jr's  taken it up the a$$ far too many times (oh, and Ron, tell us about "teabagging" from your own personal experience, willya?)

What a disgrace this boy-man is; I'd like to say, Jr., that "I feel your pain" but on second thought I'd rather not go there; ask Perez. Put some ice on it; you're blood history to one of the most important men in world history, yet you piss on him and everyone around you (better not go there either without waterproof ballet slippers).

And speaking of "grandma" Pelosi, how about this QUOTE:

[MARK PENN TO PELOSI]: "...Explain in an op-ed that you still have a different recollection, but
it makes no sense to go back to relitigate what the CIA said and what
you heard nearly seven years ago — we now have an administration we can
trust on these issues. "

That's uber-Clintonite MARK PENN telling Pelosi to pull a Hillary and "go jello" - everything will be forgiven... perhaps. Everything rides on Obama's public perception: the DoubleSpeak can't work if they're openly contradicting each other on national security - trouble in the Socialist Paradise is, shall we say, brewing.

Plus we finally have a new administration we can "trust" - !

Talk about teabagging...!

I have never liked Ron Reagan Jr....

Ever...And this goes back all the way to '80, when President Reagan was running for his first term. The first time I remember seeing him, I thought he looked like a wimpy milquetoast, and didn't appear to resemble (I think) either one of his parents... certainly not his handsome father. First impressions in this case were right on target, because he has proven himself to be pretty much what I initially thought, if not worse. 

While Reagan was president, Ron Jr., (along with his useless sister Patti) went out of his way to do and say things deliberately intended to challenge and embarrass his parents, and in particular, his father. As the years have gone by, Junior has continued this track, and in fact has gone completely off the deep end politcally, which is why the left loves him so and why he has a show on Air America. The leftists love the idea of having President Reagan's lefty son sticking his finger in the eye of conservatives and Republicans. Never mind the fact that Junior has absolutely nothing of any intelligence or substance to say...It just matters who his daddy was...Makes me sick...President Reagan is probably turning over in his grave...Nancy must be so proud...I feel sorry for both of them that the two children they had together, have turned out to be such zeros...  

The fact that this inconsequential twit has used his airtime to go off on Rush is, I think, almost a form of flattery...Rush must clearly have gotten to this idiot (and others like him), to the point that Junior felt the need to attack Rush. I love it actually, and this says far more about Junior, than it does about Rush...   

"The problem is not that people are taxed too little...the problem is that government spends too much." ~President Ronald Reagan

Ron Reagan

Unlike your Father, who was a great man and statesman of the caliber of the founding fathers, you have never had an original thought, but rather parrot the ravings and talking points of your fellow left wing lunatics.

We loved and respected your father, he brought honor and patriotism back to this country after a disasterous predecessor and everytime you open your mouth you dishonor his memory, you will never be the man he was.

He was strong, you are a weak kneed, bleeding heart liberal. He was a dynamic speaker, your words are sophomoric at best. He cared deeply for his country, you use every opportunity to tear this country down and suck up to people that hate this country and give them a platform to spew their hatred. He was an overall great man, you are an insignificant slug that did not inherit any of his greatness. 

 

If you're afraid of the future, then get out of the way, stand aside. The people of this country are ready to move again. Ronald Reagan

Has Rush fattened up recently or something, because last I saw him (which has admittedly been quite some time; I don't follow the guy) he was looking pretty slender.

The reason I ask is that it really doesn't seem to matter to his enemies how fat he actually is. What matters is how fat they want him to be in their crazed, hate-filled imaginations. I find that fascinating.

It's like following Jerod from the Subway commercials around calling him a fat tub of lard after he lost 200 pounds or whatever it was. Yeah, it really is like they're still in the eighth grade or something.

Hi db...yeah he has gained

Hi db...yeah he has gained weight recently...he's been on some diet, heard him say today he has lost 52 pounds in 70 days or something like that.

Glad to hear he has trimmed

Glad to hear he has trimmed down a bit.  He was looking pretty hefty at the CPAC convention.

Re 52 pounds

I caught that too, lost 52 lbs in 70 days. That's impressive and it's good for us. I want him healthy and around for a long, long time. At that conference a month ago he did look a little portly. Maybe it's too much of that steak that he is a sponsor for.

→ OK I'll say it

In the same way as men might talk among themselves as to whether a well endowed woman has had silicone augmentation, is Ron Jr. a connoiseur of natural versus pharmaceutically induced erections?

I know, stupid question.

He Must Be The Yin To Michael's Yang...

I always figured that if former President Reagan's yin and yang were split from each other, one would be Michael Reagan and the other would be Ronnie Jr. I'm not going to assign which term they follow since I'm having trouble remembering the legend at this point, but I would imagine Ronnie Jr. is the whimpy, whiny lighthearted twerp, while Michael is is the smart, yet aggressive jerk. You put them together, and pow: "Mr Gorba's Chef, tear down this 'Whaa...'!" Couldn't resist saying one of my favorite Pearls Before Swine lines.

Of course, that's why I primarily listen to the Phil Hendrie show. Because truth is his bitch.

WOW!

He's so irrelevant that I had to look him up in Wikipedia to find out who he is.  I didn't know Ron & Nancy had another son.  I guess no one really discusses that child.

I just think it's amazing

I just think it's amazing that liberal atheist Ronald Prescott Reagan ("Junior") is the biological son of President Reagan, and conservative Christian Michael Reagan is the adopted one.
