"Maybe he was just high on his drugs again," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. "But that shouldn't be an excuse." That sounds suspiciously like the sort of personal attack Democrats claim to decry. And Sen. Harkin was just one of an impressive number of big foot Democrats to take to the Senate floor last Monday to calumniate conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.
It's odd enough to have the Senate Majority Leader, his deputy, and the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, among others, take up the Senate's time to attack a radio talk show host, instead of, say, working on the appropriations bills that were supposed to have been enacted into law before the new fiscal year began Oct. 1st. But there was something odder still about Monday's performance.

He probably chose that venue because he has absolute immunity for anything he says there. Which makes the smear even lower.
That two in the last month that I know of.
Yep, and it shows his true character and lack of any type of class, doesn’t it?
The makings of a bumper sticker.
You got it. I even heard liberal RAT Bob Beckel denounce him on FOX as way out of line for the drug comment.
Rush also played quotes of Hillary accepting responsibility for starting Media Matters.
Max Cleland or McClelan. The Max is right. The last is close.
This is the most likely explanation I have heard for why the Democrats are trying to create a scandal around Rush. It seems to me that the Democrats are close to insane because:
1. They lost to Bush twice
2. The radical left is where the money is (Soros, MoveOn.org), but it's not where the majority is
3. The Democrats have no moral compass, no way to take a principled stand on anything
4. The Democratic leaders are all self-serving, unprincipled egotists
5. They know they have to strike out somehow and take the high road on some issue relating to God or country. But they don't have a clue how to do this. They are completely out of touch with anyone who is religious or patriotic. They might as well be talking to Martians.
As they were getting off the helicopter, Max saw the grenade on the ground and he instinctively went for it. Soldiers in combat don't leave grenades lying around on the ground. Later, in the hospital, he said he thought it was his own but I doubt the concept of "ownership" went through his mind in the split seconds involved in reaching for the grenade.
It takes a truly arrogant and shame-less person to say what he did right in front of God and everybody. He should be hiding in the closet.
It is equally shameful that the people of Iowa keeps on electing this reprobate to our Senate.....
.....absolutely shameful.....
Sentors have immunity from defamation lawsuits if they defame citizens from the senate floor?
Max Cleland
First she got rid of Imus. Now Rush.
Thank you for the information. Loved the film “Dirty Harry.”
The idiot of whom you are thinking is Max Cleland. He should have been given the Darwin Award.
My best regards and am glad I could be of some help.
I don't know what the liberals are attempting to accomplish by attacking Rush. Their real objective is in attempting to reestablish the relevancy of the MSM and, in typical liberal fashion, instead of making the MSM perform better they are attempting to make it appear better by trying to diminish its competition. All they have accomplished is to solidify the right against them and the MSM.
His first name was "Dusty Harry" but changed it a couple of days later to "Dingy" because "dingy" suits Reid better than merely "dusty"...
....dust is only skin deep....dingy goes all the way to the bone
Yes. they do. It's an aspect of the separation-of-powers concept and spelled out in the Constitution. Any holding of them to account must be done by the Congress itself. It can't be done by the Executive or Judicial branches of the government.
The Speech or Debate Clause (found in Article I, Section 6, Clause 1) in the United States Constitution states that members of both Houses of Congress
“...shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same, and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”
