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).
IT'S OPEN LINE FRIDAY
I watched the GOP statement at 12:30 p.m. with Mitch McConnell, and they said nothing. They praised both McCain and Obama for coming back to Washington to work on this. I just don't understand why they can't tell it like it is. There comes a time when you have to take the gloves off and let the people know what's really going on.
Exactly. If nobody bothers to tell anybody, then it didn't happen.
If the best that the Republicans can do is that limp-wristed response from McConnell, then we deserve to lose everything. Even McCain is just keeping his mouth shut. These guys suck.
Obama yells at an elderly woman in IowaHaving video or audio of this meeting would be priceless!
Thank you for the ping! Late as usual this week.
Here’s part of the problem in the deal- no one knows how these so-called assets will be priced- Paulson and Bernanke said as much in testimony-

OH Biggirl... I hope you are right....that Obama is TOAST!!! Rush is ANGRY right now.... SO AM I!!!!! Wish this truth would take on a life now....I am afraid that only those listening to RUSH will " get the message"

Bush is allowing this to be set up so McCain is the architect of the result.
Ozero and his team are no match for McCain/Bush/Palin.
Let the libs scream unopposed for a day or 2 and they will be revealed as a bunch of clueless snake oil peddlers.
Did he ever 'HAD IT'??
will drudge report Obama melt down at WH meeting?
Would Durge be savy enough to realize that as the debate hits, his story about Obama melting down at the WH would put him, Drudge, front and center in the spin room at the debate tonight?
would drudge be that smart?????
Another part of the problem is
Who gets the profits generated from adding value to worthless assets.
One final thought. I always get a little worried when Rush says how frustrated he is. That leads to a day or two off...and everytime hes 'off' well...bad things happen (and some guest host mains the Golden Microphone). So Rush, go home. Golf tomorrow...rest up. Ge ready for Monday (no market crash!) ok?!?!?!?!
This is from the Corner on NRO, something else that the Democrats planned for the bailout bill.

Energy Update [Stephen Spruiell]
House conservatives scored a victory last week when Nancy Pelosi and Co. capitulated on drilling and dropped the bans on offshore and oil-shale leasing from the House version of a continuing resolution funding the government. Then, word came down yesterday that Harry Reid would try to reinsert the ban on oil-shale leasing in the Senate version of the CR. Last night I spoke to a Senate Republican aide who’s been working on this issue, and he gave me a few more details.
The way he sees it, Reid is going to try to attach the ban, not to the CR, but to the “economic stimulus package” John mentioned below. The move is intended to ensure that Senate Republicans vote against the package, so that Senate Democrats can claim that they tried to do something for Main Street but were stymied by GOP opposition. This gives them cover to vote for the Wall Street bailout.
If it goes down like my source thinks it will, the economic stimulus package will fail and the bans will expire, opening up both the Outer Continental Shelf and the Mountain West for oil and gas exploration, including oil shale. The attempt to reinsert the ban is just a political trick by Reid.
UPDATE: To be sure, Reid could still try to put the ban on oil-shale leasing into the Senate version of the CR. If he did, he’d be courting a White House veto and putting moderate Dems in an unenviable position — the wrong side of a two-to-one issue.

Are you insulting SNAKE OIL SALESMEN?? I am representing the NASOS (National Association of Snake Oil Salesmen) and they do not want to be associated with LIBERALS, because LIBERALS are bad!

BREAKING NEWS: Paulson and Obama - Friday, September 26, 2008 @ 9:49:47 AM
When Sen. Barack Obama was given the floor to speak during White House negotiations, according to White House aides, he did so raising concerns about a House Republican alternative to the Paulson/Bernanke $700 billion bailout. But those concerns weren’t necessarily his, as he was not aware of the GOP plan before reviewing notes provided him by Paulson loyalists in Treasury prior to entering the meeting.
According to an Obama campaign source, the notes were passed to Obama via senior aides traveling with him, who had been emailed the document via a current Goldman Sachs employee and Wall Street fundraiser for the Obama campaign. “It was made clear that the memo was from ‘friends’ and was reliable,” says the campaign source.
The memo allowed Obama and his fellow Democrats to box in Republican attendees and essentially took what President Bush had billed as a negotiating meeting off the rails.

“Paulson and his team have not acted in good faith for this President or the administration for which they serve,” says a House Republican leader who was not present at the White House meeting, but who instead is part of the team hammering out the House GOP alternative. “We keep hearing about how Secretary Paulson is working with Democrats on this or that, yet he never seems to consider working with the party that essentially hired him. Perhaps he’s auditioning for a Democratic administration job. Our proposal didn’t just spring forth fully formed; we’ve been working on this for several days, and Treasury staff has known about it.”
