What?? Good grief.

"Bada-dup, bada-dup, bada-dup, bada-dup, Rush Akbar!"

Arbitron Iraq documents show that Air America ratings in the Al-Fuqedup Desert, an uninhabited wasteland with no population, are comparable to their ratings in the United States.

That is VERY cool

Wouldn't it be jolly for them to have the "Godfather" of American Talk Radio on as a phone-guest some time?
(With translation of course).

I'll bet he'd hit it off swimmingly with that harmonica-playing story-teller. I wonder if the guy speaks English?

Let the Iraqi people get a hint about where the rest of America is coming from, as opposed to the over-represented (by the dominant media) anti-American cut-and-run Kerry / Klinton / Durban / Pelosi (et al) moonbats.

An interview with El Rushbo would no doubt be of great interest to the Iraqi People, don't you think?

[manwiththehands]

Yes. I think Rush would score big over there. They would LOVE him!

Michael SAVAGE, on the other hand, might stir up a trifle of controversy, what with his advocacy of nuking the entire Sunni Triangle and Falluja into smouldering oblivion.

Can't say that I particularly take issue with such practical sentiments, although I might stick to conventional ordnance and opine that we had our chance and blew it some time ago; It's way too late now to apply the PATTON / SHERMAN approach.

That sort of thing is a little inconsistant with "Winning the hearts and minds" of an enemy - although it has been known, on occasion, to win wars.

But then, that was back when "winning" was actually part of American military strategy, wasn't it?

I wonder how many English speaking Iraqis listen in to Rush on Armed Forces Radio? He is on for an hour (despite lib's attempts to censor him off completely) and it seems that Sean Hannity will soon be featured on AFR as well.

They are both apparently quite popular with our Troops in Theater, and I wonder what the locals think of them.

Though, it's been a long time since Al-Rushdi bin-Limbaughdi has broadcasted from Baghdad!

I guess he's back in Afghanistan or Pakistan to do a live remote
