I thought the same exact thing.
Yes.
Good job with his personality. You probably could have upped the obnoxious a bit more to milk comedic value, but I'm not complaining about where you ended up.
Easy upvote.
3317246 agreed
Oh god why

Woot for a Conservative Pony!!
Down with CelestiaCare!
5 Spikes for you!
Unfortunately, due to the partisan nature of the story's subject, this story will be hindered by petty political bias, and even some dislikes and likes will be fuelled by it.
Interesting...and funny.
The political commentary is subtle and well done.
I would consider any story involving a controversial political figure a win if individuals from both sides of the aisle enjoy it.
Congratulations

Rush could have asked Soarin what "being awesome" was, and why it was important to be awesome. "What, is this nation run by teenagers all of a sudden? Might as well be. Mr. Snerdly, could you run and get me my skateboard and Go-Gurt?"
Also, no guest appearance by Liberty? For shame.
Welp, I guess it is time to abort Equestria. American politics does not mix with colourful ponies. If anything, it would destroy them
Of course, that doesn't mean this story is bad. I am just saying that Equestria is bound to have a government shutdown.
As was said of the guy who got Ashleigh Ball to quote APPLE.MOV:
YOU ARE A CHAMPION, MY FRIEND!
Not bad. Not bad.
Equestria is so messed up there is no way he would be talking about some sort of immigration bill over something like having a Monarchy. There should be more stories like this! There should be a Rush Limbuck and Glen Buck vs Piers Morgan and Jane Fonda (i am not creative enough for horse names). They could discuss politics in Equestria on a group show where crazy shenanigans happen.
Opening line:
Glen leaned into his mic deepening his voice, "Equestria... We've got a serious problem here Equestria. No pony is asking questions. What about this? Was Celestia an idiot for giving the keys to the most powerful defensive weapon to six random, insignificant, uneducated, ponies? Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Flutter Shy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity now have unrestricted control, unaccountable power, over all of Equestria. Maybe.. Maybe she sees something different. I don't, what I see scares me. It scares me Equestria! Here is what I see:

Go!
well you got his douche-bag personality down to the T. then again, give anyone a talk show then they feel like they're the chosen ones.
I LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS.
Practically everyday I have to that droning crap because my father insists on blasting it from his giant boom box, so it annoys the hell out of me, but, here - I couldn't stop laughing! You got this dude down to perfection and it was just perfect!
Take a mustache.

I agree! We could've used a cameo from Liberty, Rush Limbaugh's talking, time-traveling horse!
3318691
Inorite? After all, Liberty IS Best Pony! He can travel through time!
Is this in Alex Jones Parody? If so, it captures how he acts pretty well. 'I'm a democrat, Rush! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME
"
well.
that was a thing. not too keen on all the haters, and Rush neither smokes nor takes opiates these days. he also doesn't hang up on callers very often
I'd favorite, but somehow I feel like I shouldn't
This is great, although a bit short. Do you plan to make any sort of sequel? I'll have to second the idea of a Liberty cameo!
Nice.
It would have been hilarious to go a step further if here, the Changelings were the equivalent of Iran or North Korea, the 'enemy nation'. Just an idea of mine though, still a funny story.
You had Chrysalis say "minions" not "children"
You get infinite Mustaches represented by this one
That ending.
3318131 Thom Hartmann, the No. 1 American progressive talk show host, likes to refer to Limbaugh as "Limp Balls." And Limbaugh certainly deserves to be given such a moniker.
He can also make light of domestic abuse, as shown here.
Hartmann even supported this community. "Limp Balls" on the other hand...
Democolts? Reponycans? BEST POLITICAL PONY PUNS EVER!
This was actually good. The ending may have been random, but It was still funny. You have captured Rush Limbaugh (Limbuck) excellently and I'm a Rush fan. I thought you were going to butcher his character as a racist, but he was portrayed fairly well like the real one. Well written, I'm favoriting this.
5797518 Hey, glad you liked it!
Congress? Since when did Equestria degenerate from a monarchy into a representative "democracy" which we all know is the most corrupt and wasteful form of government in existence? It's a very funny story but what happened to Tia being in charge?
5896336 Uh... well, let's just say that I probably should have tagged this one as AU
Cheers from a conservative brony!
I think you did a great job with this.
Good job!
