You guys probably heard that Rush Limbaugh was claiming earlier this week that Irma was a liberal  “hoax” to push their goofy ideas about climate change.  Rush claimed that the weather men were all part of the conspiracy because they knew for a fact that Irma was never going to hit land, and that it would float blissfully out to the Atlantic.

Rush said that grocery stores were in on the hoax to sell groceries and that bottled water companies were counting their profits, too.

Yesterday, Rush announced that he is fleeing from this elaborate hoax perpetrated on his Florida radio studio.

“May as well… announce this. I’m not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow,” Limbaugh said Thursday. “We’ll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown.”

Limbaugh said the show will be back on the air Monday, but to be on the air Friday would be “legally impossible” for them do to the show out of South Florida.

“Legally impossible?”  More like … impossible to talk while drowning.

On the same show, he said …

“The views expressed by the host of this program [are] documented to be almost always right 99.8 percent of the time,” Limbaugh said right before announcing he would be leaving South Florida for parts unknown. “There is a reason for that because we engage in a relentless and unstoppable pursuit of the truth and we find and proclaim it and that happens to drive people crazy.”

And, Honey, for Limbaugh’s listeners, that’s a 3 minute drive.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
