Rush Limbaugh is referred to as facetiously as "comedian" by Keith Olbermann, but it is true that many of his fans think he's very funny. Why is it though that so often, conservative humor has an ugly edge to it? I mean, people find Ann Coulter funny too, but I don't think any of her jokes aren't at the expense of somebody else (usually a Democrat).
Well, Limbaugh was cracking wise again, this time an imaginary discussion between Barack Obama and newly minted John McCain running-mate, Sarah Palin. It's basically an abortion joke, though it doesn't have a punchline. And the RNC found it to have "great YouTube potential," envisioning a longer conversation, painting Barack Obama as--what?--a wuss? I think that's the gist.

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh boosted Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's pro-life position and mocked Barack Obama on his radio show yesterday with a make-believe riff in which Obama asked Palin "When you found out your baby would be born with Down syndrome, did you consider killing it before or after the due date?"
