AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha-Rushie! America's Anchorman, Truth Detector, Doctor of Democracy, and Chief of the Patriotism Police. He is the man who runs America. He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do--That's host. Get ready to what you were born to do--That's listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

"I don’t think it’s wise for Rush to call Obama a MAN-CHILD. Rush will make headlines because liberals will go berserk saying that he has reverted to racism. Back in the day racists called Black men “Boy” to be offensive."

Why bother self-censoring yourself? The Left will claim "racism" not matter what you say anyway, or how you try to say it.

[Clint N. Suhks]

We'd always sing, “yes boy, we really do want to hurt you”!

Tell your dog to hold it!!

Gerry Ferraro apparently still has issues with Captain BS.

McCain has contempt for conservatives, we all know that. But he's apparently become aware that he can't win without us, so he's hammering on the two issues on which he (mostly) agrees with us--abortion and the war against Islamofascism. Once he's sure of us, he'll be back to advocating shamnesty and his socialist economic policies (anti-big-oil, etc.).

A conservative VP pick would help me overcome my nausea enough to vote for him.

I can't listen (stream live) at work; but I lurk most days if not busy (to find out whats up...I do respect Rush's opines...) BUT...he should know better than to call the Messiah that. I can see it was incindiary...needs to keep focus on the ineptness and inexperience of the Chosen One...but give 'them' side issues.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Yesterday, j6-p coined 'Obama bin Biden.'

A bumper sticker classic if ever there was one...

[Clint N. Suhks]

Loraine X!!!!!

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Culture Club came to Puerto Rico in 1982 and I went to the concert..... we didn’t have many big acts of the day come to our little island, so we were so excited just to know that they were there..... Boy George’s image didn’t help much with the “Machismo” and alpha-males in our society, and our local Archdiocese tried to cancel the concert, to no avail.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I'll say it again. Rush should not call Obama a MAN-CHILD. It's offensive, even to me. I remember when Black MEN were called BOY by racists years ago. We don't need to go back to that. Stick to the issues, and there are plenty of reasons why Obama should not be president.

[American Quilter]

Holy moly, who is this cranky caller?

[Dr.Deth]

She's baaaaaaack!

[Roccus]

It’s as if BHO’s record starts in January, 2005.... before that, in the words of Arlen Specter “... (he) did not exist. There is no documentation.”

[NonValueAdded]

Holy crap, lady, get thee to a mental health clinic!!!

[Army Air Corps]

Yikes! The Lorraine X caller was a rapid-fire nut!

[weegee]

Lorraine complaining to see McCain's baptism information???

When was Obama the child Christian baptized by his atheist mom and his non-observant muslim dads?

[American Quilter]

Oh, was it Lorraine X? Ha! I’ve heard about her on FR, but never heard one of her calls before.

Another POW, Same Story

After a brief conversation with Col. Bud Day, I can confirm that Col. Day is most likely the toughest man alive in addition to being the most decorated Air Force veteran in history. Some of the details Day shared with the McCain Report are too gory to reproduce here, but he did confirm that "not long after we all got back together [in the camp]," McCain told him the story of the prison guard who drew a cross in the dirt one Christmas.

"We were bringing each other up to date, he was telling me how he [McCain] had been tortured," Day said. The guards had "busted his arm," and "John was complaining that they'd treated him like an animal." Day said "the only friendly thing the [guards] ever did was hit me on the leg instead of on the head." But, according to Day, McCain wouldn't condemn them all, telling the other men of the occasional act of decency he'd witnessed from his captors. Day says McCain told him how one of those guards had "made a cross with his foot and wiped it out."

Andrew Sullivan is sure that McCain is lying--and that the other men who served with him are lying as well--because McCain didn't tell this story to an appropriate media outlet at a time and place of Sullivan's choosing. But just imagine what Sullivan's response might look like if some right-wing blogger was challenging an element of Obama's biography, an element that could never be definitively proven or disproved, and which there was no reason to doubt beyond this or that circumstantial detail and an absence of irrefutable evidence to the contrary.

Bud Day's Medal of Honor citation after the jump...

LOL, debunking the rumor on McCain and the Cross.
