From Rush Limbaugh:
Mullah Nancy bin Pelosi. She's no different than these mullahs and these imams who convince all these people to put bombs on their kids and send them out there to blow up.
And then he launches into a completely irrelevant rant about Charlie Rangel -- about whom he is right. Rangel should be nailed hard by the ethics committee and he won't be and all that talk of this being the most ethical Congress in history is utter bullshit. But what on Earth does that have to do with this idiotic statement above?

Since when should we expected a consistent and logical argument from him (or others in his company)?

Rushbo demonization of anyone or anything requires nothing more than the crap to fall from his lips. Dittoheads eat it like candy.

The right-wing echo chamber has adopted a simple and effective tactic: repeat the sound bite as often as possible. "Tax-and-spend", "weak on defense", "terrorist-loving", "ivory-tower elites". They have so many now you need a scorecard. You could play "right-wing talking point bingo". Sometimes you can tell that they don't even care what phrases they use to string the sound bites together. Relevance is irrelevant.

I think Nancy is like the mothers of suicide bombers because she said that representatives should vote on the health reform bill without thinking of whether they would be re-elected or not; i.e., she was encouraging Dems to be suicidal in their votes. Or something. Also.

In a rightwing mind, it does make sense. See, Limbaugh, like every single other rightwingnut, considers the Universe to be revolving around his own person. Thus, the relevancy of events depends solely on how much they affect Limbaugh himself - and by that logic, Pelosi saying something he disagrees with it just as bad, if not worse, than causing the death of a couple of dozen brown-skinned heathens in some far-away country he's never been to because they don't have cheap hookers.

You're probably right about the current congress, but most ethical congress in history is a pretty low bar.
