I've got a physics question,

If Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter jumped from the top of a 20-story building at the same time (hey, we can dream, can't we?), which one would hit the ground first?

1. None because republicans are all angels and they would simply fly away

2. Karl Rove

Limbaugh and Coulter are full of hot air. Rove is full of evil.

3. Rove

Annthrax being mostly hot air and empty rhetoric could conceivably stay afloat for quite some time perhap even entering the upper atmospherer where the loss of pressure could lead to her head bursting.

Limbaugh is certainly the overall most dense but Karl Rove's heart is made out of the condensced core of a neutron star and he would plummet towards the center of the earth and may even punch through the other side.

4. Ideally

they should hit the floor at the same time but due to some air friction the fat one ( Rush Limbaugh, the big fat idiot) will encounter the least resistance, second to hit the ground would be Fat Geek Rove, then Ann DAMANN coulter.

5. Answer

According to the laws of physics they sould all hit at the same time.
However, I would like to believe the following:

Anorexic Ann is thin she would get caught by the wind and carried aloft into the jet stream never to return, Rush Limbaugh is full of so much hot air he would rise until the pressure imbalance would cause him to burst, and Karl Rove would start spinning so fast centrifugal force would rip him apart before he hit the ground.

6. None...

Rove would only make it look like he jumped and claim national security issues keep him from discussing the obvious fact that he did not jump...

Limbaugh would claim anal cysts prevent him from jumping and get an "exemption" from his family doctor. He would then spend the rest of his life pointing out that Clinton did not jump....

Ann would never go up that building without first satisfying her life long ambition to blow Clinton. She wants that very badly and will not die before it is done. Never.

7. I dunno, but on the way, you'd hear each of them say...

I dunno, but on the way, you'd hear each of them say, as they
passed the 10th floor: "See? The Republican plan is working
out just fine so far! See how fast we're moving?"

10. Ann Coulter

She has the least wind resistance and would glide through the air like an arrow shot from a bow.

Limbaugh would hit last because he is a bloviating sack of hot air. In fact depending on how hot the air is, he may rise.

14. But her head is filled with hot air

which combined with her severe lack of body mass means she might not ever come down.

11. Oh, wait, I found the answer

It's "who cares?" But thanks for all your input!

12. They'd never hit the ground

An flaming chasm would open up right before they hit to expedite their journey straight to hell.
