Rightwing Radio Hosts Across the Nation Make Discovery


In one of the more bizarre culture trends in recent memory, all across
the nation white male politically right-wing pundits and radio talk show
hosts are voluntarily having themselves shot in the foot to demonstrate
that, in the words of Michael Savage, "Gettin' shot don't hurt."

Savage said it live on morning radio while in a field outside of San
Francisco as a former U.S. Marine cocked a Beretta M9 9 mm Pistol and
aimed it at Savage's foot. An ambulance and two paramedics stood by
just in case, in Savages words, "anything goes wrong."

On the other side of nation, only weeks earlier, Neal Boortz invited a
police officer into his studio. Arguing that the Fox TV Show "24" was
too left-wing in that the hero Jack Bauer occasionally showed "the
liberal emotion of pain" when getting shot, Boortz had the police
officer shoot him in the foot.

This trend began last year when Christopher Hitchens, in a
now-well-known you-tube video, had himself shot in the foot because he
wanted to know whether getting shot in the foot hurt.

"It is a pitfall of empathy," Hitchens said, "that one -- and this is a
trap that liberals tend to fall into -- takes too seriously the invented
reactions of one's nemeses, reactions designed to elicit weakness. I am
getting myself shot in the foot to demonstrate that there is no real
harm done."

Other right wing pundits made similar arguments. The results were uniform.

"Holy ****ing ****!" Savage shrieked moments later, writhing on the
ground in the field holding his foot. "Goddamn sonofabitch getting shot
hurts!" Weeks later he reported that he could still remember what it
felt like to get shot in the foot, and he no longer thinks it is a good
way of getting reliable information out of prisoners. "If you shoot
someone in the foot, they'll tell you anything so you don't do it
again," Savage said, "take my word for it. I know. I told the cop I'd
freaking marry him if he didn't shoot me again."

Similarly unexpected howls of pain came from Boortz's studio just after
the police officer shot him in the foot. His audience on their drive to
work was subjected to a 7 and half minute litany of "Jesus Hopscotching
Christ don't do that again!" Boortz later said he would have confessed
to the Sharon Tate murders rather than get shot in the foot again.

Windy City psychologist Carol Farnsworth explained the cultural trend.
"Basically, they're complete morons," Farnsworth said. "I'm afraid
there isn't any deeper analysis needed. There is something about being
white, male, and right-wing that makes a person incapable of understand
the feelings of others in even the most easy-to-understand situations.
Some of them even have to whack their thumbs with a hammer in order to
understand that whacking your thumb with a hammer hurts."

"I don't know what to add," Farnsworth said, when pressed for details.
"The voluntarily had themselves shot in the foot because they thought
'they could take it'. What can I say? They're idiots."

He's really no different than a Rush Limbaugh, only he's coming from the far
left instead of the far right.
His daily rantings are exactly the same one can hear on any of the left
sided media outlets. Almost word for word, in fact.

Only difference is that Rush is a lot smarter than Harry. Rush makes his
rantings sound original.

Awwwwww...a couple of fans! How sweet.

BTW, I am nowhere near the "far left."

Amazing, considering what an absolute turd FloridaJim is that you
consider him a buddy.
