    If Rush Limburgh Fenced...

    Just for the fun of it, if Rush Limbaugh fenced...

    He'd refuse to fence epee because it has no RIGHT of way.

    He'd insist the epee fencers were faking it because they're always hopping.
    They must be off their medication or acting.

    He'd refuse to take his position to the LEFT of the referee.

    He's insist upon a FAR RIGHT of way.

    He'd be unable to fence foil because he lacks point control.

    He'd be carded for unjustified appeals over a point of fact.

    He'd attack and never retreat.

    Rush could never fence under USFA rules because... [you can see this coming] ...he'd fail the drug test.

    You know him by his screen name "slim"
    Rush would not fence, he would sign up his child, then hang out at comps and in chat rooms trying to rally stupid people.

    I also intended to put this in the water cooler rather than politics.

    Couldn't figure out how to change the title. Couldn't figure out how to move it. Couldn't figure out how to... well... my fencing has been like that lately,too.

    Limbaugh would never fence because he couldn't be participant and referee at the same time.

    Besides, I'm not sure he could handle the bruising without his pain pills.
    Take your time. Read carefully.

    I'm torn here. Part of me wants to go "tut-tut" at those who make fun of Linda's inability to spell. Part of me wants to go "tut-tut" to Linda for her inability to spell.

    Not wishing to be a hypocrite (or "nuanced," as my spin people would later put it), I will content myself with a whiny, unanswerable question.

    Why can't we all just get along?

    Some of us don't need to get one, because we were BORN with along.

    Oops, I've said too much.

    He'd be one of those middle-aged balding armourers with a beer gut. Wait, that's all of them.
    The pen may be mightier than the sword, but why pick just one?

    Hmm, maybe Rush already fences in my division; we've had a few just like that...

    This poll is flawed. It doesn't matter what weapon Limbaugh might fence. He would dispute every call that went against him, call the ref names, and spread nasty rumors about the members of the bout committee.

    Come to think of it, I doubt he'd fence at all. It's much too subtle a sport. (Even sabre . . . )
