Shamelessness

DC Media Girl takes you into the minds of a couple of serial scumbags. Fred Phelps I won't go near, but here's Rush's view of what, I guess, is really no big deal.

You’ve got how many millions of people running through this transit system in rush hour in the United Kingdom, and what do we have? We have 33 dead and 150 seriously wounded. I wouldn’t call this a successful terror attack. I wouldn’t say these guys missed the boat...It’s like I said, 40 people dead, 150 seriously wounded, 1,000 wounded out of over a million people in that transit tube. It’s not a successful terrorist attack, folks. They didn’t succeed in doing anything.

Yeah, nothing at all.

Peter Zimonjic, a columnist for The Ottawa Citizen, was traveling on a Circle Line train heading in the opposite direction when train 216 exploded next to it in the tunnel. Seven people died in the explosion.

In an initial account, which he corroborated Monday, he said he smashed a window to try to help survivors, and he tried to revive a passenger on 216. "Unfortunately, he was dead," he said. "A person was next to him, both legs blown off. She was dead. The person next to her, a gentleman in his 50's, was dead as well."

Back to the east at King's Cross station, Piccadilly Line train 311, running in a much deeper tunnel, was heading south toward Russell Square when a bomb, again thought to have been left on the floor, exploded, killing 21 people - the worst death toll of the four explosions, possibly because of the narrow, deep Piccadilly Line tunnels that also made rescue more difficult.

"I thought this is the end of the world, right here in this carriage," Steve Betts, a police rescuer, told The Guardian. "I found a man and his leg had been blown off below the knee; there was another body next to him. There was also what I thought was a pile of clothes, but as I passed to try and get to the man, it moaned and asked me for help. It was a woman. She had all her limbs blown off."

But Limbaugh feels nothing. Must be the Oxycontin.
