From Media Matters for America -- March 12, 2010:
"Limbaugh and other media conservatives have a history of mocking the uninsured
Limbaugh's health care plan: "If you don't have any teeth, so what? What's applesauce for?" Responding to a story Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) told about a woman who wore dentures that previously belonged to her dead sister because she lacked insurance and could not afford to buy her own, Limbaugh stated on February 25:
LIMBAUGH: You know I'm getting so many people -- this Louise Slaughter comment on the dentures? I'm getting so many people -- this is big, I mean, that gets a one-time mention for a laugh, but there are people out there that think this is huge because it's so stupid. I mean, for example, well, what's wrong with using a dead person's teeth? Aren't the Democrats big into recycling? Save the planet? And so what? So if you don't have any teeth, so what? What's applesauce for? Isn't that why they make applesauce?
Glenn Beck mocks Slaughter's story: "I've read the Constitution ... I didn't see that you had a right to teeth." On his February 26 radio show, Glenn Beck played an audio clip of Slaughter's account then said, "I am wearing George Washington's dentures right now. I'm wearing his teeth right now." He later added, "I just like wearing dead people's teeth. But in America -- I'm sorry, I didn't know that that was -- I've read the Constitution before. I didn't see that you had a right to teeth." Echoing Limbaugh's remarks the previous day, Beck stated, "The environmentalists should be all over Slaughter. 'How dare you say that?' My gosh, they're just recycling. They're just reusing."

Cons, we know you own God, and love money, so how about this idea; How about instead of blowing 100k, trying to extend a persons life by 3 months, we hire ministers (lots of jobs) to get the soon to be departed (old people about to die), right with God? JHC, with that plan, we can save money, and the soon to be departed will have eternal life, and enjoy the riches of heaven for eternity.
Fking genius.
That makes no sense at all.
Hey ridiculous cons, how about, we hire all those ministers (lots of jobs) to council the soon to be departed (old people about to die), and instead of calling it the end of life counseling (which your queen of crazy was so offended by) we call it the beginning of life (eternal life) counseling? See crazy cons, we can coexist in your crazy world, where up is down, evil is good, etc.

Limbaugh is rotten to the core and therefore would not be suitable for recycling. LOL
Well said, A2.
Or, as Julius Ceasar might have asked: "A2-- A2?"
