Rush Limbuaugh, as I heard him today................. was a Lame-o on Curt Weldon. Sorry folks.................... the reason Rush is where he is today is because he seldom questions (seriously) the MOST important issues.
To me he is way too often a gutless, self-absorbed ex-disc jockey from my town.
The weasel seemed to make Curt Weldon smaller with his LAME coverage of the issue of Able Danger at the end of his show!
Rush is a con artist.
Can't we just go back to discussing Maria Sharapova?
...guess this clown didn't see Rush's monthly with the interview with Weldon...excellent reading.
Doogle
Ditto
Anything to back up your gratuitous assertions other than weak-kneed complaining?
With that statement, do you claim to also listen to him?
Or do you just hear that garbage from Michael Savage and take it at face value?
He was obviously looking for Rush to trash Weldon. He apparently doesn't like Weldon.
That makes no sense what-so-ever. Well, I haven't attacked what you consider the MOST important issues, but I'm not #1 on the Radio. It must be something other than what he's not doing that makes him #1.
I can see you're passionate about this, but passion and logic don't always go together...and it shows.
Weldon will be on with Hannity today.
Utter nonsense.
He praised Weldon, played several clips from his speech on the floor last night, and gave strong support to Weldon- ranted about career people in the gov't..
I think he mentioned his interview with Weldon as well.
"I Still Hate Rush"?
BTW, when is the best time to divide perennials?
RUSH: Well, you know, one of the reasons I took your call here and the reason you've been on hold for a while is because I was planning to get to it here in this half hour because I have audio sound bites of Weldon on the floor of the House last night talking very much about this Able Danger business. We've talked to Curt Weldon for the Limbaugh Letter. He is fit to be tied. People constantly say, Rush, how come you stop talking about able day and age. We haven't stopped talking about Able Danger. Nothing ever leaves the table here. When it comes back, we're on it. We're on it, it's back. Weldon is convinced that the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon is doing everything they can to destroy the career of this whistle-blower. He's been told that they destroyed all the evidence of Able Danger. He's learned now that there is another packet of evidence. Let's listen to the first sound bite, a portion of his speech last night, and he's talking about the new Able Danger officer, somebody else that nobody knows who can very far all this.
VOICE: Mr. Speaker, I met with another Able Danger official. I was not aware of the official's knowledge because he doesn't live in the Beltway. This official, Mr. Speaker, has impeccable credentials. I can't reveal his name today. I will, to any member of this body, any of our colleagues that want to come to me, I'll tell you privately who this official is. And you will agree with me when I tell you his name, he has impeccable credentials. This official yesterday, Mr. Speaker, at a meeting in my office told me he has never been talked to by the Pentagon, he's never been talked to by the Defense Intelligence Agency in their supposed investigation, he's never been talked to by the 9/11 Commission staff in their investigation. Yet this official had a leadership position in Able Danger. This official told me that there's a separate cache of information collected from over 20 federal agencies in '99 and 2000 and earlier on Able Danger that still may exist. Now, the Pentagon has told us all this material was destroyed.
RUSH: And in this new packet of information is evidence, apparently, that Mohamed Atta's identity once again can be proved to have been known one full year prior to 9/11. We have more -- two more sound bites from Congressman Weldon, and we'll get to them right after this.
[COMMERCIAL BREAK]
RUSH: Okay, two more Curt Weldon bites from his speech last night on the floor of the House. This one features him pounding on the podium as he gets really worked up.
VOICE: Wolf Blitzer on CNN told my staff that a defense department employee told him that lieutenant Colonel Shaffer was having an affair with one of my employees. How low can we go, to allow this defense department to try to ruin the reputation and the personal life of a lieutenant colonel with a Bronze Star. He didn't even know my staff. To could you see him of stealing paints when he was 15, to take away his health care benefits for his two kids because he's telling the truth. What do we stand for, Mr. Speaker, if not the truth? Is it more important that we be politically correct? Then I don't want to be here, I'll leave, I'll leave my post, but I'm not going to do it until we get justice for this man and for these people who the 9/11 Commission called historically insignificant. There's something wrong inside the Beltway. There's something desperately wrong when a military officer risks his life in Afghanistan, time and again, embedded with our troops under an assumed name with a false beard and a false identity, for deploy with our troops gets castigated gets ridiculed gets some low-life scum at the Pentagon spreading malicious lies about this individual.
RUSH: Congressman, that's how it works. He's got some -- he's got some -- they put some pressure on somebody's turf, somebody who just, you know, wanted to sit there and go along with life and not upset any apple carts. He's talking about lieutenant -- I think it's Tony Shaffer, is who he's talking about here. When I spoke to him for the interview in the Limbaugh Letter he was this agitated and you can tell he's not going to let this go. And I -- you know, for all this talk about the Democrats and their culture of corruption, let me tell you where -- the culture of corruption is in these career positions in places like the CIA and like the Pentagon and like the state department. It is obvious there's more to 9/11 than we want -- than they want us to know. It's obvious that the people who conducted the investigation into it, had as their primary objective to protect people's positions of power and cast blame somewhere. You'll note that no heads have rolled, nobody's been fired. And now this guy, Tony Shaffer, and this new unnamed official who apparently everybody would know and immediately would believe is credible also can validate what the others of this unit are saying, and the 9/11 staff, the Pentagon, the DIA, not interested. There's a simple reason why they're not interested. It upsets the apple cart. They thought they had this handled, and some people are so outraged and upset by it that they're coming forth and they are risking everything. Here's more pounding on the podium, our final bite from Congressman Weldon.
VOICE: This is not about the DIA, it's not about the CIA, it's about CYA. It's about CYA by bureaucrats in the Defense Intelligence Agency and possibly some political operatives that don't want the facts to come out about Able Danger and the information that the Able Danger team put together, and in the process, they're going to destroy a man, a man who has been recognized by his country, who has a family and who simply wants to do the right thing. Mr. Speaker, what's happening here is unacceptable; it's unimaginable; it's un-American.
RUSH: And it will not go away. Weldon, I guarantee you, will not let this go away.
Take it from me............... he keeps his sorry *ss far enough away from things like this Weldon/Able Danger event.
His weak back keeps him on the air.
****
Ask the lame-o, Rush, where Carol Howe is these days. Here's guessing the old long-haired disc jockey Rush would say, "Who?"
I hear you.............
Good job.
Really? Where did the press briefing tell him to NOT back Miers?
I listen to Rush on occasion, but not as much as I use too. Rush has turned into an elitist, and IMHO has lost the passion for conservative principles, in exchange for doing a daily CYA for Bush.
I believe you were not listening to Rush's program today - specifically the last 15 minutes.
If he was, he'd have called him "Hush Limbo."
"Is that you, Michael Savage?"
Crap!
You beat me to it.
Brilliant minds.....
