A public spat between Rush Limbaugh and Democratic Iowa Senator Tom Harkin has now hit both the Senate floor and the airwaves. The bout of nastiness began on Nov. 7 when Harkin presented a defense bill calling for fair and balanced programming on the Armed Forces Radio. While Limbaughs conservative show is broadcast on the network, listeners are not offered a liberal alternative, says Harkin. Hed like to see a liberal talk show like Ed Schultz or Al Franken added. Limbaugh was not pleased, so on his show the next day he referred to Harkin as Dung Heap. More recently, Harkin lambasted Limbaugh on the senate floor, saying Limbaugh wouldnt know the truth if it hit him in the face, according to the Des Moines Register. And Limbaugh has taken to calling the senator Dung Heap Harkin on the air. This was a reference to a comment made by Harkin years ago, in which he called Bill Clintons impeachment charges a pile of dung, according to the Register.
This from the Flying Ace of Viet Nam.
Aaaahhh, thank you ...I thought I'd heard that previously...don't expect the press to point that out, though.
Limbaugh gets a single freakin hour on AFR, while NPR get a dozen or more per day. That's fair?
Honestly, I couldn't think of a better idea to expose our troops to liberalism in one of its vile, honest forms.

Senator Dung Heap also got up on the Capitol steps as soon as those phoney CBS TNG Bush forgeries were released, and proclaimed that those documents proved President Bush was a liar...
Maybe he's below whale dung. That's on the bottom of the ocean, one can go no lower..........
Really, all the good senator wants to do is give equal time to people who hate our country and military, and want it to fail in its mission. After all, its not fair to the troops if they dont have at least an hour a day of radio broadcasts extolling the virtues of the 'freedom fighters', lengthy discussion on how US troops are all warcriminals, and fundraising drives for the DNC.
Dung Heap....ahahaha...that just made me laugh out loud. If he wants "fair and balanced" he should turn on Fox News.
Al Franken? Haven't they suffered enough?
I mean, wouldn't even Nancy Pelosi regard Al as torture?
Exactly. IIRC, the only reason Rush is heard at all on AFR (and only ONE HOUR of his show at that) is because of a troop write-in vote win several years ago.
I guess multiple hours of NPR and various network news shows isn't liberal enough for Harkin.

These dainties might be better described as political figurines as they are so easily broken up and may easily have their feelings hurt.
Treason.
No, Harkin is still just a floater in the septic tank called the Senate where he and other floaters-all RATs- are the source a permanent stink in the chambers.
