The. Best. Hashtag. Ever. AND we trended at #2 after the promoted tweet. Sorry if you missed the Twitter Fiesta last evening. But you may still submit your entry to #RapeyRush. Some of the partiers spent the night on the couch at Media Matters. NO THEY DID NOT. You guys out there are goofballs if you think anyone at MMFA has a couch fine enough for a #stoprush rump.
Rush Limbaugh loves rape. He loves to talk about it. He loves to joke about it. He loves to fantasize out loud about it. He even likes to use rape in analogies. Here’s an analogy from last week.

LIMBAUGH: Let's forget the Senate for a minute. Let's say, let's take 10 people in a room and they're a group. And the room is made up of six men and four women. OK? The group has a rule that the men cannot rape the women. The group also has a rule that says any rule that will be changed must require six votes, of the 10, to change the rule. Every now and then, some lunatic in the group proposes to change the rule to allow women to be raped. But they never were able to get six votes for it. There were always the four women voting against it and they always found two guys.Well, the guy that kept proposing that women be raped finally got tired of it, and he was in the majority and he was one that [said], 'You know what? We're going to change the rule. Now all we need is five." And well, 'you can't do that.' 'Yes we are. We're the majority. We're changing the rule.' And then they vote. Can the women be raped? Well, all it would take then is half of the room. You can change the rule to say three. You can change the rule to say three people want it, it's going to happen. There's no rule. When the majority can change the rules there aren't any."
This audio stimulated the #stoprush neurons into a virtual frenzy. Someone decided we needed to help the citizens of the United States in America to understand exactly, “What is this love affair Limbaugh has with rape?” Then another #stoprusher came up with the name #RapeyRush.
Who are the #stoprush professionals? I can only speak for myself. I am a self-made woman with a full-time career devoted to listening to Limbaugh and contacting his sponsors. Here at the #stoprush factory, hours are long but, for the most part, the conditions meet OSHA, ADA and FDA requirements. Our boss? His name is associated with ours all over social media.
Last week I walked into George’s office. I said, “Mr. Soros, you are overpaying me for a job that I am in love with. My job is so much fun, I would do it for free.”
And you know what George said? George said, “I beg to disagree with you, Your Royal Highness Princess Prissy Pants. All of you are doing such a great job, I will double your salary.”
It really pays to be assertive.

On that solemn note, I bid you adieu. I have to go clear out the ashtrays, beer cans, and tequila bottles from the scene of the #RapeyRush Twitterfest.
