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).
Anyone know a good lawfirm that would take on the American public as a client?

I don’t know of one, but we should start looking, asking, let the idea gain momentum. Let Congress know a lawsuit is being considered - or perhaps a cease and desist order?
Maxine Waters - paraphrased “NancyMae and BarneyMac has worked perfectly”
So why are we where we are?
How many Dems are rolling their eyes and hoping Maxine will just STFU.
We will get though this sweetie.
Goodness, Sorry for the multiple posts. Not sure how that happened....
Walters is a NUTCASE pure and simple.
Stanley Kurtz takes a look at how the Community Reinvestment Act was used by activist groups to pressure banks into lending money to high-risk applicants, and how community organizers like ACORN played a front-line role. ACORN insinuated itself into the process by using CRA to block bank sales and mergers and force lending institutions to lower standards for applicants. They also championed the sale of these loans to Fannie Mae as a key program that would alleviate the lenders of any risk in lending:
CRA was meant to encourage banks to make loans to high-risk borrowers, often minorities living in unstable neighborhoods. That has provided an opening to radical groups like ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to abuse the law by forcing banks to make hundreds of millions of dollars in subprime loans to often uncreditworthy poor and minority customers.
Any bank that wants to expand or merge with another has to show it has complied with CRA - and approval can be held up by complaints filed by groups like ACORN.
In fact, intimidation tactics, public charges of racism and threats to use CRA to block business expansion have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and contributions from Americas financial institutions.
Banks already overexposed by these shaky loans were pushed still further in the wrong direction when government-sponsored Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up their bad loans and offering them for sale on world markets.
Fannie and Freddie acted in response to Clinton administration pressure to boost homeownership rates among minorities and the poor. However compassionate the motive, the result of this systematic disregard for normal credit standards has been financial disaster.

What I can’t understand is how Franklin Raines, who did far more damage to the U.S. economy than Enron ever did, is getting off scot-free, while Enron executives were pilloried (some literally to their deaths).
Yes, Bill Clinton’s words too, blaming democrats!
I wonder why Bush is behind this bill? Makes me wonder.
Maxine is from South Central Los Angeles. Gang central
Hi sofaperson!!!
Rush is the only one keeping me sane right now!
well said and concurred!
As I have said, this has been building up over 10-15 years which includes the Clinton years.
Rush just said that Franklin will a Obama cabinet member...
Why isn’t Franklin Raines in prison?
Oh, nevermind. I know the answer.
Not only getting off scot-free, but keeping the millions they stole!
Kucinich is talking - I guess the debate is coming up a little short...
Bill Clinton is featured at the end of this video that Rush just talked about:

Planned Parenthood is a racist organization that
targets minorities and makes huge profits killing
kids before they are born.
Perhaps his charitable giving to other children was to
assuage a guilty conscience.
I hope he repented for his association with evil PP, if
he indeed did serve with them.
