Desperate measures of cloying self-praise/love


L'il Rush so mad at the "swells" he's like the most cloying parody of one.

"Largely decorated by Limbaugh himself, [his Palm Beach house] reflects the things and places he has seen and admired. A massive chandelier in the dining room, for example, is a replica of the one that hung in the lobby of New York's Plaza Hotel. The vast salon is meant to suggest Versailles. The main guest suite, which I didn't visit, is an exact replica of the Presidential Suite at the Hotel George V in Paris. There is a full suit of armor on display, as well as a life-size oil painting of El Rushbo. Fragrant candles burned throughout the house, a daily home-from-the-wars ritual."


It's a stereotype of "The Great Gatsby" for Idiots, and a stereotype of Castro District Gay Chic all in the guise of a "Hotel/Motel Art Fair".

h/t Balloon Juice.

  1. Oh, hell, Gatsby had taste compared with Limpballs.

    This is another in a series of things that I wish Nathanael West had lived long enough to see.

  11. I suppose it would be gaudy of him to display his extremely accurate and extensive paint-by-numbers "Clown Paintings Series" by John Wayne Gacy.

    That's why he keeps them in a secret room in the dungeon with that bottle of Viagra...
