All right, first thing is first – we ain’t getting political here. I’m just reporting some movie news. That said, John Cusack is about to get all political on our asses. The star of Gross Pointe Blank and that terrible movie where he gets stuck in that hotel room and he can never leave and Samuel L. Jackson is yelling at him about it is developing a film entitled Rush, apparently about the life of bloated sack of wind radio mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh. “This is great,” said nobody, because this will only lead to a complete mess.
So why the hell would Cusack and director Betty Thomas even bother with this nonsense, Yahoo!?
Limbaugh is in the front ranks of colorful and provocative media figures. Earlier this year, Limbaugh called a Georgetown law student a “slut” and a “prostitute” on air for arguing to Democrats in Congress that health plans should pay for contraception.
Oh no he didn’t!
This week, the host mocked Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for his “bromance” with Obama after Christie praised the president’s response to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Bromance! Topical! But Cusack as Rush Limbaugh? That doesn’t make sense.
Cusack as Limbaugh isn’t typecasting, politics aside. Cusack is a slender, dark-haired 46-year-old, while Limbaugh is 61, balding and portly. But Hollywood’s makeup experts have probably had greater challenges.
Oh snap, Yahoo!. Oh snap, indeed. But the important question is, what does Yahoo! commenter Buckethead think about this?
John Cusak. Another piece of Hollywood garbage and communist.
Well said, Mr. Head. Well said.



A good movie about Rush Limbaugh could be made, in theory, but I don’t think extreme-left-winger John Cusack is the guy to make it. (I wouldn’t be interested in a right-wing Limbaugh hagiography, either.)
Rowsdower!
Yeah, Cusack making a political movie about a right-wing figure is going to be as subtle as a nuclear bomb.
Gardenhoser!
He accepted Rush’s offer by standing outside his house holding a boombox over his head playing Ted Nugent songs.
Excellent.
John Cusack is the only person I have unfollowed on twitter, mostly because almost all of his tweets were about politics or arguing with other followers about politics.
Oh, and also because of everything he’s made in the last five years that doesn’t have a topless Megan Draper in it.
Cusack is going to don the fat suit. It’s good because Cusack can change his appearance from obese to morbidly obese.
That’s what I was thinking, he’s really fat lately, right?
I don’t keep track of Rush’s weight, but I think he was down to merely “fat” about ten year ago. He almost reached “overweight” before he bounced back.
I don’t want to snort anything, inject anything, or rectally insert anything as a recreational habit. I don’t want to snort anything injected or rectally inserted, or inject anything snorted or rectally inserted, or rectally insert anything snorted, injected, or huff anything snorted, injected, or rectally inserted. You know, as a recreational habit, I don’t want to do that.
As long as they play “I Think I’m Going Bald” by Rush, I’m in.
“Communist”, really? It’s amazing to me that this is still the fallback boogeyman insult for so many people. Get with the times!
Try this: “John Cusack is a job-killing sharia law atheist. Also, Must Love Dogs was awful.”
i have an office job now, so i peruse yahoo all the time, and nothing is more infuriating than the yahoo commenters.
Keep an eye out fir Ken M.
He’s my hero.
Whenever I think of Rush Limbaugh (not often), for some reason I just think of Sam Kinison.
“And this girl, she was arguing with CONGRESS! That health plans should cover contraception. Well maybe she was arguing because SHE’S A SLUT! OOHHH AAUUUGGGHHH!”
Yeah I saw “War Inc.” and I won’t be fooled again. Not only was it a pathetic attempt at homaging “Dr. Strangelove” but it was about as subtle as Limbaugh on German chocolate vicodin cake.
War Inc. is an awful movie. Having Dr. Strangelove and War Inc. in the same comment is the nicest review it has ever got/will ever receive.
Wow. A movie that actually displaces “Paul Dano trying to breathe with a really bad sinus congestion” as the last thing on Earth I wan’t to watch.
How about Paul Dano playing Glenn Beck?
I got 50 bucks that says it’ll be better than Martian Child.
Please, please, please show something about Limbaugh’s sex tourism obsession and him having sex with underage boys.
