Rush Limbaugh proving that he is a dumbass and anyone who listens and believes anything he says is a dumbass:

“The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is.”


Apparently we should not be wasting our time trying to stop the spill and clean it up, it’s all good according to Rush.

Oh sweet baby jesus, Rush Limbaugh really is an effing r tard.

So, basically, we killed the ocean? At least we kill the sky, the land, and the ocean with equality.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping I'd be dead before we completly destroy the planet. At the rate we are going, it might end up happening in my lifetime afterall.
