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).
Thanks for the ping.
Ike isn’t coming here...just some ‘tropical storm outer bands tonight and tomorrow’...whoopee.
Workin’ n lurkin’ mode here!
MOCKING OPRAH FOR NOT HAVING SARAH ON HER SHOW - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXyR0oGadX0
With Ike hitting Cuba bigtime, it could weaken as you said, or get stronger again if it goes into the Gulf of Mexico.
The O’s got so many “cats” like that one waiting to get out, his bag is more like the Goodyear blimp.
I have seen something about Sarah and kittens in the General section.
We could be seeing the begining of the end of the Obama campain with this cat and many more cats getting out of the Goodyear size blimp of a bag.
She’s actually Governor Palin.
IMHO, Rush should be working today. Ike is posing no threat to Florida.
I know that but she is refered to Ms. Palin in many DBM stories and blogs.
He’ll go all right.
But will it be a death by a’thousand cuts? Or one big SNAP like a pitbull and a pussycat?
I can’t find it, but will assume it’s the humor article about how she eats them and hangs their heads on a fireplace....
TV: More sexism, more self-promotion
Last week the RNC held their convention at the Xcel Energy Center in Minneapolis and The NewsHour and Democracy Now! covered the convention. It wasn't pretty for anyone but the GOP.
Let's start with the convention itself which we watched like anthropologists studying another culture. ...
The 'fear card' was not played at the RNC convention. Let's dispel that myth right from the start. The fear card was played at the Democratic Party convention in Denver -- over and over, as they attempted to say that John McCain was exactly like the Bully Boy. ...
9-11 is not just a 'hot button' issue to the Republican base, it is an indication of what they see as the differences offered in leadership from the two parties. That's a very important point and one that those killing trees with all their useless 'how to win!' books better start grasping. After nearly seven years, you'd think they'd have figured out something but their bad (and banal) writing demonstrates no knowledge learned or even that basic facts have been grasped. ...
Those wrongly insisting the Republican convention offered nothing are begging to lose every election because they refuse to see what really went down. ...
Minor perceptions were utilized as well. One example would be the wrongful stereotype that Democrats don't give a damn about the country. John McCain's military service was stressed, Palin's son and nephew being in the service was stressed, the men and women serving was stressed. "We stand up in time of need!" was the call. ...
Utilizing perception management, the convention played to why people identify as Republicans to begin with. Palin would give a crowd pleasing speech (and an amazing speech) on Wednesday night but the convention all week was about solidifying the base behind the ticket. ...
That's what the Democrats didn't grasp. That's why their convention flopped. They didn't manage perception. They insisted upon making the entire convention about Barack. ... Reality is that the Republicans were no more solidified behind McCain in the primaries than Democrats were behind Barack. ... Republicans used a winner-take-all strategy for awarding delegates from each state and they did so because that's how it works in the general election for the electoral college. ... They're not interested in soothing egos, they're interested in winning. They aren't interested in a primary system that allows stragglers to stay in the race, they're interested in finding out who is the strongest candidate. ...
The Democratic 'leadership' seemed truly confused that the unfair system could backfire on them. ... They thought they could run their crooked and rigged system and appoint a leader who was not popular with the base. As it dawned on them (due to polling) they decided they could 'heal' the wounds by selling Barack throughout the convention. It was an embarrassment and it wasn't effective.
If Barack loses ... It will be noted, in higher toned language, that speech after speech informing people how 'groovy' Barack was really wasn't the way to drive Democrats to the polls. It will be noted that the gauzy sop tossed out over and over about Barack was issue-free and, as it repeatedly stressed how 'groovy' Barack was, only made the point he must not be so 'groovy' if everyone can't shut up about it and get to the issues that matter. ...
On every level, the Republican convention was a success. ...
[Laura Bush and Cindy McCain] managed to send the message (true or false) that the Republicans were about the American people and after Barack's latest bit of vanity, it was a highly effective moment. Democrats closed asking America to worship one man. Republicans opened asking Americans to pull together.
hehehe...
Just heard that the manditory evac from the Key West Islands has been canceled on the noon radio news.
My business is boarded up so I get a day off, maybe even two, we shall see.
Looks like he won't have that excuse since the storm has headed far enough south that he wont be effected at all, even we won't get much from it down here.
