Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh share many things in life. Both are old, obese white racist men. Both attempt to play golf, have homes in Florida, have clothing lines designed for old men, between them share seven marriages and divorces, and constantly belittle women.

Trump has stolen Limbaugh’s glory; and will for as long as he is soiling the White House sheets with “secret sauce.”

Trump frequently reveals his true feelings about women. He believes that women exist to serve men. His attempts to embarrass and diminish the character of women including Megyn Kelly, Mika Brzezinski, April Ryan, and of course Hillary Clinton prove that the orange man is lacking all dignity and self-respect.

Limbaugh shares Trump’s lack of class and refinement. In 2012 Melinda Henneberger appeared on Face the Nation to discuss the cover of Time magazine. The issue depicted a working mother who was breast feeding her child. This was Limbaugh’s pitiful attempt to denigrate Ms. Henneberger.

“See, TIME Magazine blew it,’’ Limbaugh explained. “You know why it’s not working with the feminist women? Because the woman on the cover of TIME Magazine was too pretty. I call your attention once again to Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24. Dare I speak it again? Brian’s nodding his head yes. Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream. Here is Melinda Henneberger, who’s somewhat trying to be funny here, but in all comedy, there is a grain of truth, and she’s quite upset. And, believe me, she speaks for the Maureen Dowds of the world and the Gloria Borgers, the whole crowd.”

This is Limbaugh’s “style.” He makes no sense and inserts an attack phrase occasionally in an attempt to make his sad listeners believe that he is intelligent and well-informed.

His latest target is Krystal Ball, a journalist and former MSNBC host. She now has her own talk show on another network.

Limbaugh told his audience last week that Ball “had posed nude when she was 14 or 15 years old and shared the pictures on social media,” something that is patently untrue. Ball was alerted to his comments when her husband checked the Google alert set for her name and read the transcript.

Ms. Ball said the she thought about what to do for a long time. She considered ignoring the false attack on her past, but then decided that she couldn’t allow the fat blowhard to get away with his bulls**t.

“it is not your job to be the moral police or to shame me or any other young woman out there who may have nude photos. If they want to run for office, if they want to be political leaders, they still can and I wanted to make sure that I was able to put that message out there.”

Trump and Limbaugh do share a great number of disgusting traits. The good news for America is that because they are both obese and old, they probably won’t be on this earth much longer. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
