I had a great weekend, folks, but, I'll tell you what: I went out and did some television Saturday in Los Angeles. There's a new show that probably will air soon, I'm not sure when, but it's called The Half Hour NewsHour." That's the working title of it now. I guess that's subject to change. Well, actually it's not, because if it changes I gotta go back out there, but nevertheless it's a parody newscast, takeoff on liberal media newscasts, and I play the president of the United States in the opening segments of this program.
I went out and shot three takes. Ann Coulter is the vice president. (laughing) It's hilarious. The whole thing is hilarious. I went out there and shot three opening segments. These things run anywhere from a minute to 90 seconds. It took eight hours to do these three segments on Saturday, all day long. I did it in the Fox Studios, then had a big after party at the Grand Havana Club. What a bash we had. I left about midnight to fly home and rolled into the driveway yesterday morning about 8:30. I hate spending a whole day coming back from the Left Coast in an airplane, because you lose three hours just because of the time zone differences. I got home at 8:30. I wanted to watch the football games in toto from the comfort of my fashionable estate, which I did. We were watching the Seattle-Dallas game on Saturday night at the Grand Havana Club. There's one in New York atop the 666 Building and one in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. They are owned and operated by Stan Shuster, and they are outposts of civility now.
You can actually smoke cigars while having dinner, and they've got televisions all over the place. Yes, they're legal, Mr. Snerdley. We were watching the Dallas-Seahag game, and I just could not believe the way that game ended. You talk about the highs and lows? These people, these young kids, these athletes, everything they do is on the national stage. It's public, and the highs and lows they go through! Tony Romo, the savior of the season earlier this year for the cowboys, now the goat. Somebody turned to me and said, "Rush, what's the name of that Red Sox player that blew the ground ball through his legs in the World Series against the Mets?" I said, "That was Bill Buckner." So people were already starting to think that this was Bill Buckner II with Tony Romo. He's young; he'll get over it, but wow. To have the game... They still had to kick the field goal but it was less distance than an extra point.
lmao.
ahhh, sorry, nobody talks better than Rush. Pure entertainment and always has a unique perspective. There are other choices on the dial. Rap, sports, jazz. Or listen to the young turks or al franken instead. Amazing what those buttons and dials will bring you when you want something more your speed and different. The choice is wholly yours.
Millions of worshippers, you mean. Keep drinkin' that Limbaugh koolaid.
I happen to dislike talk radio.
It's hilarious the way some of you folks think that makes a person an idiot.
It's called "having an opinion". You might try to get one of your own.
I was not familiar withe Prairie Home Companion until husband and I rented the movie. Good cast, but the story left much to be desired. At the end of the movie it feels like you are left hanging in the balance wondering "What happened? What's next?" It is disappointing to say the least.
If you're going to criticize at least do a little research and don't use leftist talking points.
Got my vote.
Strange...on my computer at work this imagine animates as a gif, but on my home computer it doesn't and says it's a bmp.
Yeah, and you just keep on looking to the media for your education.
You know, this seems like a joke, but is there some reason why the new generation of conservative celebrities should not start considering runs for public office?
Rush Limbaugh is certainly (far) more qualified to be President of the United States than Barack Obama Osama. Or Hillary Clinton. Or John Edwards.
He's got the money to run. He'd get TONS of votes. He'd excite the Republican Party for the first time since Ronald Reagan. With Ann Coulter (likewise wealthy and smart) they might just actually ... WIN.
WHY NOT??
Oh that's fabulous!!!!!
BTTT...
Rush happens to be brilliant and insightful about issues. As far as "the media" - I cut my teeth reading The American Spectator, many years ago. When nobody else was doing it, William F. Buckley was on TV (PBS yet) presenting Conservative points of view. "The media" can be very educational. You just have to know which elements of the media to focus on.
Yeah...I saved it on my hardrive after seeing it in here one day. Appropriate, huh?
Ummm. Not "nobody". I was subscribing to The American Spectator when it was "The Alternative, an American Spectator" on newsprint and the size was about 18 x 24.
Apology: in rereading, I conclude that my comment sounded like, "my mom can whip your mom." Didn't mean it like that.
I was referring to Buckley addressing the Conservative view on TV, "when nobody else was doing it." I too remember the Spectator when it was a big glossy. It was exciting when it came in the mail. A feast!
Hahahahahaha...that's what I'm talkin' about! That's great!!
Now, now, It's just your AM bigotry showing again. Go and get your FM fix, fire off a few rounds and you'll feel better.
