Posted by Jill | 3:19 PM


GARY COLEMAN:
Right now you are down and out and feeling really crappy

NICKY:
I'll say.

GARY COLEMAN:
And when I see how sad you are
It sort of makes me...
Happy!

NICKY:
Happy?!

GARY COLEMAN:
Sorry, Nicky, human nature-
Nothing I can do!
It's...
Schadenfreude!
Making me feel glad that I'm not you.

NICKY:
Well that's not very nice, Gary!

GARY COLEMAN:
I didn't say it was nice! But everybody does it!

D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls and drops a tray of glasses?

NICKY:
Yeah...

GARY COLEMAN:
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?

NICKY:
Sure!

GARY COLEMAN:
And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy,
Watching people out in the rain!

NICKY:
You bet!

GARY COLEMAN:
That's...

GARY AND NICKY:
Schadenfreude!

GARY COLEMAN:
People taking pleasure in your pain!




Looks like El Rushbo got nabbed trying to bring back prescription drugs illegally from the Dominican Republic:

Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.

Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.


No. Not gonna do it. It's just too damn easy.

Once you've clicked on the link above and heard the clip, let me hear you sing:

Schädenfreude...
Making the world a better place...
Making the world a better place...
Making the world a better place...
To be!


UPDATES:

1) This is NOT going away: El Rushbo's doctors may face investigation (via TalkLeft):

The incident comes as Limbaugh waits in legal limbo, a felony charge of doctor-shopping still hanging over his head. Prosecutors charged him with the crime in late April, but entered an agreement with him whereby the charge would be dropped after 18 months upon completion of substance-abuse treatment. He is required to submit to random drug analysis.

State attorney's office spokesman Mike Edmondson said his office also will look into whether Limbaugh violated that agreement with prosecutors. Prosecutors also will examine the possibility of "any doctor being complicit and the possibility of doctors being charged as well."

According to the deferred-prosecution agreement, Limbaugh must refrain from violation of any law.

If prosecutors determine the Viagra possession to be a crime, Limbaugh could again face the felony doctor-shopping charge. Doctor-shopping is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, said in a statement Monday night that Limbaugh was detained after returning from an international trip.

The drug "had been prescribed by Mr. Limbaugh's treating physician but labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," the statement said.


Uh, yeah, right.

Meanwhile, some are speculating that Limbaugh's trip to the Dominican Republic -- alone -- armed with a bottle of Viagra -- was not just for palm trees and pina coladas. You see, the Dominican Republic is not just a breeding ground for major league shortstops, it's also a leading destination for sex tourists. And not all the sex tourists going to the Dominican Republic are looking for adults.

Apparently Limbaugh stated on his show that he had had a great time in the Dominican Republic and wished he could tell his listeners all about it. So why can't he? Then, we have everyone's favorite tormenter of wingnut radio pinheads, Mike Stark of Calling All Wingnuts, who called into the show and asked Rush point blank about whether his was a sex tourism trip.

In 2005, Rush Limbaugh ranked #28 on the Forbes Top 100 Celebrities list, with an income of $30 million/year. The Dominican Republic is home to some of the most inexpensive all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. The DR is so cheap it makes Jamaica look like St. Barths. Hell, with an income of $30 million a year, he can afford to rent out Necker Island at a mere $30K/night and it hardly makes a dent in his wallet. So why DOES a guy like Limbaugh, who has nothing but bad things to say about Latinos, who could afford to rent out Necker Island, or go to St. Barths or Anguilla, or any of the other Caribbean playgrounds of the rich and shameless, go to the home of the $599 weekly all-inclusive package?
