the extra mile...
... But even by Limbaugh's standards — and remember this is a man who has over the years referred to Greenpeace and Sierra Club as "econazis" and "environmentalist wackos" — he seems to have gone the extra mile in calling the New York Times environmental reporter, Andy Revkin, a jihadi and a terrorist and telling him to kill himself.

catastrophic climate change is a security risk...
But it's worth noting that Limbaugh is the second figure on the right to equate environmentalism with terrorism in just a few days.
Daryl Metcalfe, a state representative in Pennsylvania, who like Limbaugh has a history of attacking gays, Muslims and others, reached his own personal low this week when he called a veterans' group "traitors" for supporting a climate change bill.
The connection is important. The White House and Democratic leaders in the Senate over the last few weeks have been finding traction among voters with the argument that dependence on fossil fuel poses a national security threat.
for the love of...money?...
Well, we here at Lost in Showbiz HQ are just EXHAUSTED. In the wise words of that famous philosopher Kool and the Gang, we've been celebrating good times and we've come on. Now, y'all know that we don't like to brag about our (naturally) wild and crazy sexytime social lives, but for once we beg for your indulgence because we recently attended THE social event of the year. That's right, babycakes, we spent last weekend in glamorous Palm Beach at Rush Limbaugh's wedding! You know – Rush! The US shock jock who puts the "moron" into "human species", who once told a black woman to "take that bone out of your nose" and who delights in a song called "Barack the Magic Negro". God bless his waggish ways.
So, to the fourth wedding of this defender of America's family values, and what a swellegant, elegant party it was. Man, that Karl Rove and Rudy Giuliani must have been practising their dance routine to (I've Had) The Time of My Life for MONTHS! It was beautiful: they were serenaded by Elton John who had been hired to sing at the party and – what's that you say? It strikes you as a little strange that Elton John should sing like a trained parrot for someone who described Aids as "overhyped"? And you're trying to decide which is weirder: Elton playing for Rush, or Rush paying Elton $1m to sing at his wedding, considering he has repeatedly expressed his distaste for gay people who "trumpet" their sexuality "inviting dissent", but you can't because your head is about to explode?
