Like a the mean Santa Ana winds, she blew through LA defense and left the damaged behind. With gut and determination, and a little lace, she shreded the defense and ran into the history books in Lingerie Bowl III.

Rush is starting to lose it again. What is he losing? his "high moral high ground".
Remember when the rushbo started calling anyone who wanted klintoon out of office "kooks". Rush stated that in late 1998: " we might as well let Klintoon finish out his term ( the 2nd one ), for what can he do in his last two years". Plenty, most of us thought. Why is rush givng up?
shortly after this, Drudge broke the Monica story and things changed with rush.
Most of us disagreed, and feared what klintoon could do in his last two years. Everything from stealing computers from the white house, as well as furniture for "their" new house in NY, to his pardoning of terrorists and Mark Rich.
We learned from our youth, the old saw:
It is not if you win, it is how you played the game.
Something else we learned was: If you buy something, and the cashier gives you the incorrect change, for this example, too much money back, you are supposed to tell them, and give them the money you should not have received back. Honesty is always the best policy.
Rush should be an example of this. Instead, he becomes like the democrats, in that winning is everything, no matter how you do that.
The recent example was on the Monday following the not-so super bowl. Not being either a steelers nor a seattle fan, i watched the game, hopefully to see a close, exciting game.
not so. The refs had their pittsburgh filters on. Seattle touchdown, oops, he could not have gotten that wide open without pushing. Throw flag. Look at replay, no pushing.
the steelers touchdown. Their QB ws downed short of the goal line. Filters on: refs- yup, that must have been a touchdown. Oh that body tackle by the seattle QB, that had to be a foul. And, the long ball to their tight end at the one, what was that? Oh! The seattle tackle must have been holding. Well, no, the pittsburg defensive end was about 1 yard offside, but that could not be called.
And so on. It was obvious top anyone who watched the game, there was something fishy going on.
Now to rush. Monday he comes in, and lambastes the seattle fans for whining e-mails, mentioning he may put a filter on his inbasket.
Then he tops it off with, " it's what ended up on the scoreboard that counts.."
A few days later, we also hear that their QB did not think he scored. He told his coach, cowhering, that, and what did cowhering do? Total lack of class- he kept the extra money, from the cashier. He could have asked for another review and told the refs what happened. No, his attitiude was, they give it to me, i will take it.
So much for his being a nice guy and ethical.
So if the demonrats pursue their power at the expense of our country, what is wrong with that? What is the difference between that and winning a tainted super bowl? Or, crowing: "it's what the final score on the board that counts."
Rush lost his credibility again and we now have to put a filter on what we hear from him.
Whiney "See Honks" really are tiresome.
Rush is the man!
It's true!!! No matter what happens, when the play has been reviewed in ANY sport, and all was said and done, it's what ended up on the board that counts. That's probably what Rush meant. Who cares, anyway? This is totally splitting hairs. I can't possibly see what this very vague comment has to do with a man's credibility.
"You don't remember what things were like before Rush?
Rush is the man!"
About a month after Rush went national he had an hour where only conservatives could call, they sounded like war survivors crawling out of bunkers, unsure of themselves, a little doubtful this was real. As the years of Rush grew you could hear the bold confident voices of conservatives, now that they finally had a national voice. Let me say God bless Rush and never forget William F. Buckley who also was a voice in the wilderness.
Amen.
No, haole, it's not that it's only a game. It's that it's pathetic that you think everyone must believe as you do or else they can't be trusted. The guy scored a touchdown. I saw the replays, and I agree with the refs. Rush agrees with the refs.
You're analogy to judicial candidates is downright insulting. To me, to the refs, to Rush, to the other 79 players on the field. If you want to accuse the refs of ruling by fiat (i.e., lying) you're way off base.
As for expecting a player to correct an official who sided with him: I could see your point if the player knew for CERTAIN something. Suppose a catcher missed the tag, and the umpire called the runner out. In that case, the catcher KNOWS the umpire screwed up*. But the quarterback didn't KNOW the touchdown wasn't good. So he didn't lie by omission (failing to correct a falsehood). He simply deferred to a higher authority, who frankly was in a better position to know. And that is perfectly honest, moral and just.
(*By the way, the catecher's moral necessity is very debatable. Baseball purposely does NOT have instant replay, even though instant replay would be extremely effective at calling balls and strikes, for instance. One could infer from this that "working the umpire" is perfectly legit. And indeed, umpires seem to take no offense at all to such attempts as shrinking a batter strike zone, a catcher pulling a ball into a strike zone, or a shortstop jumping a bag in a double play. However, I will agree that in football, "working the ref" is dishonorable.)
Actually, when Bush's amnesty plan looked like it was going to pass last year, I was blown away at how plainly Rush attacked Bush.
Your screenname has an "a" and an "h" switched.
If we remain obsessed with such pettiness, we will become the Democrats, ie unable to win elections as we look like clowns to the general public.
Quite a different story if Rush, say, endorsed a gun grabbing, pro-abort RINO like Rudy Giuliani because he was "the only guy who could win." Then even I would be going after Rush.
Blam I agree with you about how we should remember how it was before Rush came on the scene.
Rush is awesome and no one comes even close to what he has contributed to those of us that have wanted someone like that on the radio. There has never been anyone like him, and never will be again at least I feel that way.
If the ref's say it was a touchdown...it was a touchdown. The end. Move on...life is short.
