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).

"We love to hear Rush Limbaugh,
Excellence in Broadcasting.
From sea to shining sea,

Extraneous Wind checking in with a comment summary:

Hallelujah! John, you just earned back a dedicated campaign worker.

Barack who?

Mark Levin: If McCain has, in fact, chosen Gov. Palin, then count me in with both feet.

NVA: Ditto. BHO will be but a footnote in history, a Trivial Pursuit card in the 2010 edition.

And THAT, media pundits, is a walk-off grand slam. No doubt about it. Barry who???

JOHN, (almost) ALL IS FORGIVEN

The talking heads don't know what to do!!! They were totally unprepared for this! Obviously no one prepared vetted taking points because the pundits are screwing up badly. This is amazing ... and completely informative about the MSM. There is sound bite fodder aplenty today.

I just put my money where my keyboard is ... contribute now!

Oh Happy Day!

[The G Man]

Do you think Rush will have "Official VP Palin" theme music?

[Heart mode]

Oooooooooo .... Barrrrracuda!

[Matchett-PI]

Heap Big Chief Sitting Bullsh*t Repeller here!

Palin’s Parents Told To Listen To Radio
From CBS News’ Ryan Corsaro:

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s parents were called early this morning at their home in Wasilla and told to “listen to the radio” by Palin’s husband, Tim.

Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, says he and his wife were caribou hunting when they were told to come home and tune into their local radio station to hear “exciting news,” but said he did not know if his daughter was the choice for John McCain’s vice president.

“The river was swollen, so we almost didn’t get back,” Palin’s mother, Sally Heath, told CBS News.The two said they said the call was “a wonderful surprise.” “I am shocked!” said Mrs. Heath.

* I ditto everything Mark said [below]! And Fox has confirmed Palin as McCain’s pick. Whoo Hoo!!!

McCain-Palin? [Mark R. Levin]
National Review Online ^ | 8-29-08 | Mark Levin

Few have been more critical of Sen. McCain than I, both here and on my radio show. And I have long said on my radio show that his selection of a running-mate will be key in determining my enthusiasm for his candidacy. If McCain has, in fact, chosen Gov. Palin, then count me in with both feet. It would be a terrific choice.

Palin is by all accounts a principled conservative and government reformer who can contribute mightily to the decision-making that occurs in the White House. She has more executive experience in her two years as governor than Obama, Biden, and McCain combined. She is a mother of five in what appears to be a loving and functioning family. And she is someone Republicans, conservatives, and others can rally behind in the future.

From a purely tactical aspect, Palin would knock the legs out from under Obama's monopoly hold on "change." And attacks on her "inexperience" will only highlight one of Obama's greatest vulnerabilities ­ and he's at the top of the Democrat ticket. And because Hillary Clinton spent months telling women voters that they are being dissed by Obama, some percentage of women who normally would not vote for McCain will take a second look if Palin's on the ticket. There is no question that a Palin selection would cause the Obama camp headaches.

I should add that if Palin is the choice, this also suggests that McCain may not be as stubborn as portrayed ­ and that's a good thing given his positions on a number of issues that have given conservatives heart-burn. At least it gives us some hope in that regard.

If Palin is, indeed, McCain's choice, I will have more to say, as will most everyone else. If it is not, he may have created - or some in the media may have created - a situation in which hopes were raised and then dashed. We shall see. There are other solid candidates out there to be sure. If it is not Palin, here's hoping it is one of them."~

* Alaska is littered with the political corpses of people who thought Palin was a pushover. She basically crushed the old-boy, corrupt GOP machine that was running Alaska for their own interests, rather than for the interests of the people of that State.

After that, the blow-dried blowhard from Delaware is going to be a walk in the park.

In my twelve President lifetime, I think this is the first time since 1960 that a VP pick has meant as much to the outcome of an election.

[CottonBall]

This should be a GREAT show!

[Arkancide]

Sarah Palin eh? Good choice. I was beginning to think it would be Rush!

If McCain promises to step down during his 3rd year it will be checkmate.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

How long before Rush refers to her as a “babe”?

[CottonBall]

I AM VOTING FOR SARAH PALIN!!!! (and that liberal RINO on her ticket, too, I suppose).

That would make a great bumper sticker. (It's the only way I'd put a sticker with McCain's name on my car).

[50cal Smokepole]

LOL!

[HonestConservative]

Howdy

[PogySailor]

How long before Rush refers to her as a “babe”?

By 12:30 I think.

[Fawn]

Hope not....kind of disrespectful.

[Fudd Fan]

I am OVER THE MOON with Sarah Palin!

A pro-life governor is just the ticket for the ticket!

Neither gender nor race mean one whit to me. Governors tend to make much better presidents. YA-HOO!!
