My Rabbi on Rush
I asked my Brooklyn Rabbi for his honest opinion of Rush Limbaugh. As a Man of the Cloth, my Rabbi calmly responded with his customary Wise Words of Wisdom, in his Fair and Balanced way, saying:
“Rush Limbaugh is a “shtick dreck” whose opinions aren’t worth “bupkis”. Why this “ohngeshtopteh vantz” should have the head of the Republican Party kissing his “tukhess” is a question that’s above my pay grade. Rush is a “tseckrokhener, tzebisiner narishkeit”. Anyone with a “yiddishe kup” can see that Rush hasn’t got an ounce of “tzeikhel” in his “poopick”. Rush Limbaugh—“feh!!—pui, pui, pui, pui.”
