Even Limbaugh said today that the deal doesn't bother him. He didn't exactly backtrack. He was remaining noncommital until the picture became more clear.

Translation: Limbaugh is waiting to be told what to say.

This is a total no brainer issue. For anyone here who thinks that having a country that funneled funds for terrorism run our ports is a good idea, just change the name Bush to Clinton and tell me that your feelings would remain the same.

If this issue was out now and Clinton were President, Limbaugh and most here would be screaming impeachment. I don't care who it offends but having a country with ties to terrorism even being allowed to sweep the floors at our ports is asking for a bomb to go off in his neighborhood.

Here in New York we've had quite enough of terrorism to last a lifetime and now the idea to let the United Arab Emirates run the ports here in the very city that has already lost 3,000 lives is nothing short of criminal.

For those of you who feel otherwise, invite Arab countries to run your ports, police forces and firehouses. Hey, what have you got to lose.

Yes, Rush gets a paper from Karl Rove outlining what Rove wants covered in the show each day.

If I ever need fruitcake, I'll know where to find some.

First it a port terminal not a seaport. Its 2000 ft of dock space leased to unload in NY. The NY Port (seaport) has 102 terminals Two that will be leased to Dubai. They are buying the lease from P&O. And second Arab countries have purchase port terminals for years. Here's one NSCSA.com. National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia since 1979 and nobody has ever said a word. And last the US does not sell port terminals. They only lease them.

Have you voiced your opposition to the UAE operating the CSX railroad system in this country? We are all sorry NYC took a hit but there is more to the USA than NYC. Many foreign companies own US businesses that transport cargo throughout this country, and literally every community. Where should we draw the line? Do you trust any of them?
