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).
seen any numbers for how many loans went to illegal immigrants?

Funny you should ask, I noticed many of the Mexicans moving into trailer houses, while Somali’s were moving into apartments, figured it had something to do with residency, but follow the money may be a better pursuit
“The editor of The Atlantic Monthly said Monday he is sending a letter of apology to John McCain after a woman the magazine hired to photograph the Republican presidential nominee posted manipulated pictures from the photo shoot on her Web site. . . . Editor James Bennet said Greenberg behaved improperly and will not be paid for the session. He said the magazine is also considering a lawsuit.”

A lot of people around here lost power during the Steelers game last night.
DO you happen to know the law that created this problem? I thought Rush would name it.....he touched on it but wasn’t specific.
‘“The difficulties have been concentrated in ‘subprime’ loans, which generally go to borrowers with limited or damaged credit, although there is evidence that some borrowers are shifted into the subprime category because they are African-American or Hispanic,” said Rep. Barney Frank (D) of Massachusetts,....
What evidence, Barney??
Liberals always utter the most outrageous lies in walk-out lines.’
He must mean if you only look at some of the evidence— ignoring savings, credit histories, verifiable employment, etc.
Man that’s tough. Unless you broke it punchin’ out a lib its not worth it. I broke mine once back in the 70’s and hated that cast - itchy in hot weather and it gets ripe after a while. Then again, whatever don’t kill ya makes you stronger. ;-)
I saw a while back that your Daily Dose was makin’ a comeback, then I heard no more. Wishin’ you a speedy recovery so I can get my fix. Please add me to your ping list if I’m not already there.
it’s way worse than that....here in the southwest banks get snookered by professional gangbangers called 13 sumpthin....they wait til election times or some red lite alert to ....get this........create fake names,ss#’s, pay roll checks,credit cards w/ acutal working swipe magnetic strips, utility bills, and whatever to close the deal on HOMES, MOTORCYCLES , CARS<TRUCKS<SUV’S and all that paperwork is sent to the banks after the “buyer” has taken delivery of the purchase......
...about 60 % get away w/ it as the paperwork is so tight,no one is noticing.......

Two Very Different Interviews...
ABC “News”
Charles Gibson Interviews Barack Obama
Presumptive Democratic Presidential Nominee
June 4, 2008 (after Hillary Clinton concedes)
http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=5000184
GIBSON: Senator, I’m curious about your feelings last night. It was an historic moment. Has it sunk in yet?
GIBSON: What did your grandmother say?
GIBSON: Public moments are not your own. There’s a million people pulling you in a million different directions, but when everybody clears out, the staff is gone, you’re in your hotel room at night and you’re alone — do you say to yourself: “Son of a gun, I’ve done this?”
GIBSON: (inaudible) when you announced, did you truly, in your gut, think that a black man could win the nomination of a major party to be president of the United States?
GIBSON: You don’t get much time to enjoy this before people immediately start talking about the vice presidency.
GIBSON: But there obviously is one name that looms over all. Hillary Clinton has already, to some extent, expressed her willingness. There are supporters putting out petitions. There is a drumbeat of pressure. There are those 18 million votes. Is she a special case that you have to deal with before the others, or is she considered just like everybody else? How long can you let the “Hillary Clinton on the ticket” question linger?
GIBSON: Does there have to be a yes or no on the issue of Hillary Clinton before you get to the others, or can this issue linger on, because it pervades everything? You want to move on to the general election. You want to pivot to a campaign against John McCain. Can you do that while this question hovers over you?
GIBSON: So, you won’t do — you won’t deal with her first, get that out of the way, and then either move on or not?
GIBSON: As long as that question lingers, can you get about the business of unifying the party, or does that have to be taken care of first?
GIBSON: Did she squeeze you in any way by making known her interest in the job?
GIBSON: Should you choose her, how do you handle Bill Clinton?
GIBSON: On what three issues will this campaign turn to you?
GIBSON: Do you worry that it could turn on race, age and class?
GIBSON: John McCain has issued an invitation to do a series of town meetings (inaudible). Going to do it?
GIBSON: Will you go to Iraq?
GIBSON: Public financing: Going to take it or going to say no?
GIBSON: But there’s a dynamic on your side, as well. You originally said you would take it.
GIBSON: That was before we saw a...
GIBSON: If you already see that money coming in, it seems to me you’re saying...
GIBSON: Is the hardest part of all this behind you or ahead of you?
GIBSON: The picture of you in the paper, this morning, with your wife, watching the Clinton speech. What did you think of the Clinton speech? She didn’t exactly acknowledge your victory.
GIBSON: And finally your daughters. What did they say to you? Did they take it as a matter of course that Daddy could be nominated to be president? They never knew what older people know in terms of discrimination, although they may still feel some. What did they say about that?
GIBSON: I watched closely your countenance last night, your mien, as you stood in that hall. You didn’t smile much. Has the joyfulness of this hit home yet? Do you take joy from it?
GIBSON: Senator, thank you.
ABC “News”
Charles Gibson Interviews Sarah Palin
Republican Vice Presidential Nominee
September 11, 2008
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/Story?id=5782924&page=1
GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question. Can you look the country in the eye and say “I have the experience and I have the ability to be not just vice president, but perhaps president of the United States of America?”
GIBSON: And you didn’t say to yourself, “Am I experienced enough? Am I ready? Do I know enough about international affairs? Do I — will I feel comfortable enough on the national stage to do this?”
GIBSON: Didn’t that take some hubris?
GIBSON: But this is not just reforming a government. This is also running a government on the huge international stage in a very dangerous world. When I asked John McCain about your national security credentials, he cited the fact that you have commanded the Alaskan National Guard and that Alaska is close to Russia. Are those sufficient credentials?
GIBSON: I know. I’m just saying that national security is a whole lot more than energy.
GIBSON: Did you ever travel outside the country prior to your trip to Kuwait and Germany last year?
GIBSON: Have you ever met a foreign head of state?
GIBSON: And all governors deal with trade delegations.
GIBSON: Who act at the behest of their governments.
GIBSON: I’m talking about somebody who’s a head of state, who can negotiate for that country. Ever met one?
GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?
(PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.)
GIBSON: Exact words.
GIBSON: I take your point about Lincoln’s words, but you went on and said, “There is a plan and it is God’s plan.”
GIBSON: But then are you sending your son on a task that is from God?
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
GIBSON: Let’s start, because we are near Russia, let’s start with Russia and Georgia.
GIBSON: You believe unprovoked.
GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
GIBSON: What insight does that give you into what they’re doing in Georgia?
GIBSON: Would you favor putting Georgia and Ukraine in NATO?
GIBSON: Because Putin has said he would not tolerate NATO incursion into the Caucasus.
GIBSON: And under the NATO treaty, wouldn’t we then have to go to war if Russia went into Georgia?
GIBSON: And you think it would be worth it to the United States, Georgia is worth it to the United States to go to war if Russia were to invade.
GIBSON: Let me turn to Iran. Do you consider a nuclear Iran to be an existential threat to Israel?
GIBSON: So what should we do about a nuclear Iran? John McCain said the only thing worse than a war with Iran would be a nuclear Iran. John Abizaid said we may have to live with a nuclear Iran. Who’s right?
GIBSON: So what do you do about a nuclear Iran?
GIBSON: But, Governor, we’ve threatened greater sanctions against Iran for a long time. It hasn’t done any good. It hasn’t stemmed their nuclear program.
GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?
GIBSON: So if we wouldn’t second guess it and they decided they needed to do it because Iran was an existential threat, we would cooperative or agree with that.
GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right.
GIBSON: We talk on the anniversary of 9/11. Why do you think those hijackers attacked? Why did they want to hurt us?
GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
GIBSON: The Bush — well, what do you — what do you interpret it to be?
(PALIN: His world view.)
GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war.
GIBSON: The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?
GIBSON: Do we have a right to anticipatory self-defense? Do we have a right to make a preemptive strike again another country if we feel that country might strike us?
GIBSON: Do we have the right to be making cross-border attacks into Pakistan from Afghanistan, with or without the approval of the Pakistani government?
GIBSON: But, Governor, I’m asking you: We have the right, in your mind, to go across the border with or without the approval of the Pakistani government.
GIBSON: And let me finish with this. I got lost in a blizzard of words there. Is that a yes? That you think we have the right to go across the border with or without the approval of the Pakistani government, to go after terrorists who are in the Waziristan area?
DO you happen to know the law that created this problem? I thought Rush would name it.....he touched on it but wasn’t specific.
no, I was napping so I don’t even know what Rush was saying about it
“So the Obama camp is poking fun at Sen. McCain, because McCain doesn’t do e-mail.
So what?! Can anyone imagine Barack Obama flying a carrier-based A-4 Skyhawk attack jet? ... In combat?”
— W. Thomas Smith Jr.
columnist and military analyst
