Engaging
in demagoguery during a 1990s budget battle, the Democrats claimed the
elderly would have to eat dog food to afford medicine if the GOP
prevailed. Radio host Rush Limbaugh then spoofed this in a GOPAC
speech, claiming he’d bought his mother a new can opener so “she can get the dog food easier when she has to eat it.”
Taking
this seriously, liberal congresswoman Patsy Schroeder (D-Colo.)
appeared on the House floor the next day and emotionally exclaimed that
“this is what it’s come to! …Rush Limbaugh actually said he's going to
buy his mother a can opener so she can have dog food. Wow!”
BTW, the GOP won and dog food sales went down ~ editor.
