The Truth Behind Limbaugh’s Rhetoric Concerning Sotomayor

Report by John Price, KY Chapter

A broken heart is apparently behind nationally syndicated talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s recent attacks against President Obama’s pick to replace Justice Souter on the Nation’s top Court.  It is being whispered that Limbaugh, who announced during his live broadcast Tuesday that he “hopes she fails”, was romantically linked to Justice-to-be Sonia Sotomayor for over two years between 2004 and 2007.  A source close to Sotomayor revealed that “Rush [Limbaugh] was head over heals for Sonia [Sotomayor], but he couldn’t meet certain needs of hers.  They tried therapy and medication, but “quickdraw”, as Sonia called him, couldn’t control his ... problem.  Sonia had a lot of patience, but in the end she wanted a man who could give her what she needed, so she dumped him.”

Although Limbaugh’s camp has vehemently denied the allegations of a romantic affair between the popular radio personality and the first potential Latino to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court, pictures of the two have surfaced that indicate a relationship existed.  “Limbaugh and [Sotomayor] would often take trips on his boat and be gone for days at a time,” explained Bill Jackson, a Florida resident who docks his boat in the same marina used by Limbaugh.  “They’d often be arguing when they came ashore, Limbaugh would be complaining that it wasn’t his fault, the rough water made him anxious or some such thing.  She’d yell ‘whatever speedy’ and storm off.”
