GIBBS SMACKS FATS LIMBAUGH

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called out fat, white rich male Rush Limbaugh by noting that Fats didn't drive a F-150, a pickup truck. This was a clean shot because few Rush listeners seem to realize that Pigboy is incredibly wealthy and generally argues for economic policies that would most benefit people like himself.

Fats likes a higher class of vehicle:
“ANTICIPATING A QUESTION,” Limbaugh said when we pulled into the garage of his secluded beachfront mansion in Palm Beach, “why do I have so many cars?”

I hadn’t actually been wondering that. Very rich people tend not to stint on transportation. For example, we drove to the house from the studio, Limbaugh at the wheel, in a black Maybach 57S, which runs around $450,000 fully loaded. He had half a dozen similar rides on his estate.

According to this site, the base price of a 57S is $405,500.

Anti-war "rightist" Pat Buchanan,along with most other tradcons also excoriated the Limbaughs and other GOP free traders for opposing the bailout at time.
