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,
Millions and millions listen.
Conservative voice of freedom,
Heard throughout all America.
A message pure and truthful,
The downhearted are encouraged.
Integrity and honesty his motto.
We love you, Rush.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh.
G-d Bless you, Rush Limbaugh.

IT'S OPEN LINE FRIDAY

I think the Obama strategy is that sometime shortly after the VP debate, Biden excuses himself from the ticket due to health concerns and Hillary replaces him. I wish Rush would talk about this possibility.

[Enterprise]

Freeper Nathan Zachary came up with a great bumper sticker idea regarding Obama's involvement with FANNIE.

"SPANK OBAMA ON FANNIE"

[mylife]

“types with fists” lurking

[hattend]

I liked the first question by the reporter who asked how will Obambi insure that there will be no more bailouts of bad investments removing all risk to risktakers.

He blahhed and blahhed and then said essentially there is no guarantee bailouts won’t continue. I think he blahhed and blahhed so long he lost focus of the actual question.

[Question Liberal Authority]

I think the Obama strategy is that sometime shortly after the VP debate, Biden excuses himself from the ticket due to health concerns and Hillary replaces him.

Hillary doesn't have much fire in her belly lately. If Obama wants a true blue die-hard supporter, he should put Sandra Bernhard on the ticket.

Heap Big Chief Sitting Bullsh*t Repeller checkin' in!

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." -- George Orwell

I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer. The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance. ~ Michael Crichton - Speech: Environmentalism as a Religion

NRO - RE: WSJ article Op-Ed in today’s Wall Street Journal, Rush Limbaugh completely destroys the basis of Barack Obama’s new Spanish-language television commercial, in which Obama slanders both John McCain and Limbaugh. In Limbaugh’s words, Obama has extracted “two incomplete, out-of-context lines from two radio parodies and buil[t] a framework of hate around them in order to exploit racial tensions.”

Just so. And now the question is whether the mainstream media, which got so wound up about John McCain’s ads on sex education and lipstick on a pig, to the point where they were declaring open war on McCain for his “lies” (the sex education ad turned out to be far more complicated than the MSM portrayed), will now demonstrate similar consternation and fury over Obama’s deeply misleading and ugly ads?

The question is rhetorical; we already know the answer.

The other thing to note about this episode is the force and speed with which Limbaugh responded. The moment the television ad was up, Rush began an effort to correct the record through his radio program, comments to reporters, and now his Journal editorial. It has succeeded, and an ad that was supposed to help Obama may well turn out to hurt him. As Limbaugh wrote, Barack Obama, in appealing to racial divisions, is playing with political dynamite. It is a very unfortunate turn for the candidate who once promised to be a unifying figure and source of civic and racial comity.

Barack Obama has tangled with the wrong fellow. There’s a reason Rush has been on top for two decades. This latest episode helps demonstrate why. 09/19 10:58 AM bttt

Arrrrr. Ahoy! Another t' rumor blamed on Rush:

Rush Limbaugh starting a rumor Senator Obama will dump Joe Biden as VP

We bet this is retaliation for the media’s pathetic rumor mongering the last few days that McCain would dump Palin because of media and SoetorObama attacks on her 17 year old daughter.

So, right back at them, Rush Limbaugh started talking today about SoetorObama the Nervous dumping Joe Biden and replacing him with Hillary Clinton.

The excuse would be that Biden had another brain aneurysm or, possibly, that he has a drinking problem. Biden had two aneurysms from the stress of his 1988 campaign, where he had to drop out of the race because he was caught plagiarising speeches (he did this in law school, too, and was almost thrown out). As far as the drinking problem, we know nothing about that. But, if we were Joe Biden, and had to face Sarah Palin, we’d sure drink too.

original email rumor: Joe Biden to Step Down as VP Candidate

[longtermmemmory]

NOT ONE REPORTER HAS ASKED OBAMA ABOUT USING FANIE AND FREDDIE CHIEFS AS KEY ADVISORS.

[tapatio]

Obama has messed with the wrong person this time!

Go Rush!

[sloop]

the first question to obama should have been about fannie mae and the clintonistas that ran it (at great personal profit), the bills that encouraged (if not forced) unwise loans and why he is citing volker as authority and an adviser

(volker of the carter years that focused on the m aggregates and ignored inflation)

[uncle fenders]

I have wondered about this same thing, however I think it might be someone other than hillary, do the swap late, leaving the Republicans no time to PALINIZE their new chump.

[EveningStar]

Rush cracks me up when he talks about this guy. :)

[Joisey]

Workin & Lurkin.

Sandra Bernhard is a Leftist Follower, whose only claim to originality is in her repellent vulgarity. Once the Hollywood "cool girls" started dissing Sarah Palin, Bernhard was sure to follow.

Sorry I screwed up the links in my post #28. Here's the correction:

NRO - RE: WSJ article Rush to the Truth [Peter Wehner]

Just caught the end of something. . .did Rush just say he will have a Spanish speaker on Monday explaining/refuting the Ad???? Hope I heard right.

[NoGrayZone]

It irked me so when fake messiah said “I’m glad John McCain agrees with me”. What a bleepity bleep!

[newzjunkey]

The cable news may have called out Obama on the Rush-McCain ad but what about Spanish-language media where the ad is running? Isn’t the damage already done?

[NoGrayZone]

You heard correct. Monday should be fun!
