So, Rush Limbaugh recently agreed to a 38 million dollar contract. Wow! I’m sure he’s worth every penny. But I doubt if rich and affluent Republicans listen to him. To accumulate wealth takes some brains, and let’s face it, anybody who is fooled by Rush or takes what he hawks as gospel doesn’t possess enough common sense to realize that Jesus didn’t have blue eyes and blonde hair.
There are lots of things that irk me about Lucky Limbaugh, but my main complaint is his promotion of the squeaky-clean, especially when he is anything but that. Like all right-wing mouthpieces and puppets, he rails against the very things that he and his masters are. He chided John Kerry for his brief and interrupted time in Viet Nam, but what he never bothered to mention is that he, Dick Chaney, Karl Rove, and George Bush, Jr. never spent a minute in any true branch of the military.
And what to make of Limbaugh’s arrest at the Palm Beach airport last year for possessing Viagra illegally after returning from a Caribbean vacation?
“I had a great time in the Dominican Republic,” chuckled a smug Limbaugh to the reporters. “Wish I could tell you about it.” Wink, wink.
Are you fucking kidding!!! This from the blowhard who rants over the air against illicit sex and drugs.
I’m sure that the Dominican Republic can be wonderful – if you have money – but there are major sections steeped in exhausting poverty. In some of these areas, 60% of the children are prostitutes. Underage girls make up the majority, but 37% are sankie pankie (young boys.) Child hookers prowl the streets, beaches, cafes, and parks, soliciting themselves to male tourists, but the private casa familial compounds offer anonymity, and if you happen to be a high-profile visitor whose professional career would go to shit if your adoring public learned how you spent your vacation, confidentiality and secrecy would be vital.
If someone was interested strictly in a tropical beach vacation, there are safer, more exotic places than The Dominican Republic. And I would choose Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., or a hundred other cities if I had millions to burn and beautiful, high-priced, adult prostitutes were my pleasure. Exposure to HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted nightmares is significantly more likely in a third-world country like The Dominican Republic.
But child prostitution is dealt with severely in the U.S., and for that sordid pleasure, places like Thailand and The Dominican Republic are popular vacation spots because nobody there really cares about poverty’s kids. Child prostitution attracts predators, and predators spend big money.
So, again; Why don’t you tell us about your vacation in The Dominican Republic, Rush.
