Bourbon never thought he'd link to Rush Limbaugh's webpage. In fact, before today, Bourbon didn't even know Rush had a webpage; yes, that Rush Limbaugh: two-legged, walking, natural rights rebuttal.
In any case, this specific link will take you to a transcipt of an interview with Senator Specter (R-PA) about overcoming cancer and videotaping football games. Bourbon appreciates the accuracy in the transcription and Specter's mastery of vernacular forms of "affirmative." However, what really got Bourbon's attention was just how whorish our culture is becoming. Victims are everywhere and brain tumors are a very horrible thing, but it is becoming more and more evident how well self-victimization sells! 1990s were self-help books, as we move into the first aughts of the 21st century, we self-victimize. Don't get Bourbon wrong here, he does not want anyone to deal with brain cancer, nor is he arguing that Specter is thankful for his cancer, but what irks even an 80+ proof spirit is that this senator had the gonads to go on a talkshow and talk about the 2002 Superbowl. Granted it was just last "few minutes" of the interview, but as we straight-line people know, those last few minutes are for the money shot, and Specter's money shot was a Canseco-like headline grabbing routine. The Patriots cheated in 2002! Oh, and I overcame cancer so buy my book, it's got a nice picture of me and a gavel, proving my dedication to justice and the American way. Really, buy my book, Patriots cheated (Google hit: check; RSS feed: promoted), buy my book. Senator, regardless of politics, you were brave, strong, and even lucky before you wrote the book and winged about football games. What's the point?
Note Rush's nice photo at the top of the webpage. He's smoking a cigar. Rush Limbaugh: Never giving in; you think he shared a stogie with cancer-surviver Specter after the show? Let's hope for Specter's sake he did not.

They shared a bottle of Halcion while telling Nixon jokes...
The Patriots won by a goddam field goal. They must suck at cheating. Laces out. (Bourbon's money-shot)
Nixon jokes? I think it was Bill Clinton dick jokes, honestly.
Cancer survivors LOVE dick jokes.
...ALMOST as much as they love cancer jokes.
The Patriots definitely cheated...let's retroactively give the Birds the Lombardi! I applaud my Senator for hawking books and currying favor with constituents all in the same media blitz! Spector in 2010!
Will he live that long?
