Rush Limbaugh Mocks Hungry Children: "there's always the neighborhood dumpster."

Is this a new low, even for Rush?

On Wednesday, June 16, 2010, discussing an AOL News report that children "face a summer of hunger" because they had previously relied on "free or discount cafeteria meals," but will no longer be getting them because school is out of session, Limbaugh declared that "a summer off from government eating might be just the ticket" to curbing childhood obesity. Taking it further, he stated that children "starving to death out there because there's no school meal provided" is "one of the benefits of school being out." 

Ignoring the possibility that some parents are too poor to provide their children with enough to eat, Rush advised hungry children to "try your house" in order to find food. He then suggested fast food restaurants as an option. If all else fails, Limbaugh said: "there's always the neighborhood dumpster."
