rush limbaugh, electric car, jay leno, green car challenge

Well, Rush Limbaugh certainly didn’t disappoint.

After a lengthy conversation with Jay Leno on his right-wing viewpoints (which unsurprisingly ended with the government taking away our liberty, rights to happiness, blah, blah), the radio host jumped into a Ford all-electric Focus and took to the racetrack.

Unlike Barrymore, who stuck her foot to the pedal immediately, Rush seems a little unsure of the car’s responsiveness — but quickly improved. At least, that is, until he got to the cardboard cutouts of Al Gore and Ed Begley Jr. As expected, Rush hit each one, stopped, and backed up to hit them again. At one point, the vitriol for Gore poured forth when Rush spouted something that sounded like “You sack of shit.” while hitting him.

In the end, Limbaugh actually had some kind words about the Ford Focus EV — so him and Jay were able to be in agreement on at least one topic. His score on the racetrack, however, was awful. Check out the video below:
