Wouldn't have thought of that. And, as a matter of fact, being a good Catholic kid for years, there is an "Exit Only" sense about that place. And apparently gerbils have been safe from that fate anyway. AND, unless I'm starving in a pet shop for a couple of weeks, there isn't going to be a gerbil hitting that spot the more normal way, either. I've heard of Orientals putting rats on someone's abdomen in a cage with an open bottom, don't know if it's true. The idea is that the rat will get hungry and chew his or her way through the person. And I'm glad Rush endorses gerbils for liberals. Kinda helps my opinion of him along. I was running out of low things of which I thought him capable. I’ve never heard of that.

He did not make it up, he was repeating the story referenced here: " ...the Bloomberg Financial Services version of the story ended with a quote from Sheriff Hugo Root: "It serves the faggots right." How could you forget a name like Hugo Root? You couldn't make something like that up, no one would believe it. Or would they? I immediately dismissed it as typical Limbaughjournalism. The tactic is tried and true, and thoroughly familiar: "See how stupid and evil gay people are, we all know that, and here's proof. Liberals are always sticking up for gays, so they must be stupid and evil too. QED." Besides not trusting the source, there were other contradictions. It is obvious this trick could not be pulled off without the assistance of another gay person. And if you already have two horny gay persons in the same room, why bother with a gerbil?
