Did Bush Listen to Limbaugh? [Conspiracy theory]

Conspiracy theorists, listen up! On Monday’s “Rush Limbaugh Show,” the conservative talk show host implored President Bush to pardon Scooter Libby. “Everything in this case is just senseless,” Limbaugh said. “There was never any crime. We knew who made the original leak about what’s-her-name. It’s unbelievable.” Then Limbaugh rendered his verdict: “It’s time for this pardon. It just really is. ... I don’t see how it could lower his standing in the polls.”

Mere hours later, Bush commutes Scooter Libby’s sentence. Was he tuned into Rush’s EIB Network up in Kennebunkport? You be the judge.

Rush runs the country.

[Blue Turtle]

Who doesn’t listen to RUSH??

[Astronaut]

Bush would do well to listen to Limbaugh on a host of other issues as well.

[RushCrush]

When is the MSM going to actually reach the conclusion that everyone else has, RUSH RUNS THIS COUNTRY!

[Enterprise]

Agreed! Trent Cavealott said so himself. Talk radio runs the country, therefore Rush pardoned Libby.

[Paladin2]

That’ll make the DUmmies go wilder.

[Bosco]

Why run for office when you can run the country without the hassle and keep your money?

[roses of sharon]

Good grief, the appeals ct ruled yesterday, hence the commutation.

[airborne]

Rush! The new Rove!

That magnificent bastard!

[RushCrush]

But did Rush know the appeals court would rule yesterday? hmmmmm

[teletech]

Of course the President listened to Rush! The President doesn’t do ANYTHING without first consulting Rush!

[texas_mrs]

Except that he didn’t get a full pardon, but had his sentence commuted. He can’t practice law, has to pay the fine, and is still considered a felon.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Maybe Bush listened to Fred?

Or any of millions of others who were aware of this legal absurdity?

[TexasCajun]

I'm waiting on a bumper sticker Rush!

[randita]

If I could do it quickly, I’d alter that Patton pix with caption, “Rove, you magnificent bastard!” to say “Rush, you magnificent bastard!”

[Man50D]

But did Rush know the appeals court would rule yesterday? hmmmmm

Did the court listen to Rush? hmmmmmmm ;O)

[texas_mrs]

Would that it were true. We would have a better plan on the borders in the works right now.

[MMK_Guy]

Is it too late to invest in tin foil stock?

Given the vast difference between a commutation of jail time and a pardon, if Bush was listening, he certainly didn't hear very well.
