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, the Mandarin of Talk Radio, 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, and doctor of democracy. A Real Man, a living legend, a way of life. Commander in Chief of U.S. Operation Chaos. Chief Waga-Waga El Rushbo of the El Conservo Tribe. Chief of the Patriotism Police. A Weapon of Mass Instruction. El Rushbo (a little Spanish lingo, there). He is the man who is running America (you know it and I know it). 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).
When the press figures it out, it will be too late.
McCain took the gloves off already, yesterday when he attacked the punk for calling hima liar
McCain was just warming up!
Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, the children are props.
C’mon Rush, you know Mc won’t name names, he hasn’t so far and these poeple are his “friends”.
McCain and Keating - Dems shooting themselves in the foot.
From comments in Belmont Club Blog:
Obama’s dragging out the Keating 5 scandal will have three effects:
1. Really energize McCain to beat Obama publicly.
2. Expose the long term Democratic culture of corruption.
3. Really piss off everyone, especially in Ohio, who admires John Glenn.
This may prove to be a classic shot in the foot. Democrats used the Home Mortgage Industry for decades as a piggy bank. Twenty years ago Dennis Deconcini a Democrat and Senior Senator from Arizona brought along the Junior Senator to a meeting. Here is the money passage from the wiki on “Keating Five” and yes I know it is the unreliable wiki:
DeConcini began the meeting by saying, “We wanted to meet with you because we have determined that potential actions of yours could injure a constituent.”[13] McCain said, “One of our jobs as elected officials is to help constituents in a proper fashion. ACC [American Continental Corporation] is a big employer and important to the local economy. I wouldn’t want any special favors for them…. I don’t want any part of our conversation to be improper.” Glenn said, “To be blunt, you should charge them or get off their backs,” while DeConcini said, “What’s wrong with this if they’re willing to clean up their act? … It’s very unusual for us to have a company that could be put out of business by its regulators.”[7] The regulators then revealed that Lincoln was under criminal investigation on a variety of serious charges, at which point McCain severed all relations with Keating.[7] Glenn continued to help Keating after that revelation, by setting up a meeting with then-House Majority Leader Jim Wright, which turned out to be the only questionable thing Glenn did throughout the whole affair.[14]
So three corrupt Democrats self destruct for a felonious mortgage broker. On the way they try to drag in one clueless but respectable old Democrat and one Republican. The former sends the crook to talk to another politician and the Republican walks out of the trap and devotes the next 19 years to fighting the corruption. The Democrats learn nothing and repeat the entire exercise on a vastly larger scale.

Tell me what you know?
credit default swap
Definition
A specific kind of counterparty agreement which allows the transfer of third party credit risk from one party to the other. One party in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the
counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange of regular periodic payments (essentially an insurance premium). If the third party defaults, the party providing insurance will have to purchase from the insured party the defaulted asset. In turn, the insurer pays the insured the remaining interest on the debt, as well as the principal.

Former AIG CEOs back credit default swap regulation
http://www.reuters.com/article/governmentFilingsNews/idUSWBT00995420081007
WASHINGTON, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Two former chief executives of American International Group (AIG.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said they would back regulation of the credit default swaps market in testimony at the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform hearing on Tuesday.
* Robert Willumstad, CEO from June through mid-September 2008, said that if the right regulation was put in place he would support it.
* Martin Sullivan, who stepped down as CEO after 3 years in June 2008, also said he backed regulation.
* Investments in this market contributed to the company’s cash crisis and eventual rescue by the government.
I thought I heard somewhere (maybe CNBC) that oil demand is down significantly in China now that the Olympics are over.
More than ever we need NIXON NOW! (S)
Rush just said a Las Vegas branch of ACORN has been raided by state police.
different kinds of oil....snow and ice are comin and therefore less driving....school is in therefore no vacations and home oil is cheaper than refined oil and gas
Have noticed that more ACORN voter fraud issues and raids have been reported.
Yes but oil is a global commodity, and if demand is down in China it helps every one. Our own usage not withstanding.
if the Acorns need to hide to keep it a secret Obama is a muslim, they will
Nevada raiding ACORN offices! HOT DAMN! Reid is saddened though. But look on the bright side. O.J. will get some company soon.
I hope the raids make it into the debate!
there is no evidence China is using less oil ....also China uses more sheetrock and concrete too...all price effected by demand.
Looks like the jail where O.J. now resides will be getting new residents soon, members of ACORN.
● John McCain’s campaign has closed their offices in Michigan, and they say they won’t try to compete for votes there. Apparently, this is part of McCain’s strategy to try to win votes only in the original 13 colonies.
● This weekend, the jury in the O.J. Simpson armed robbery case found him guilty on all counts. So be careful parents — if your child experiments with double murder it could lead down the treacherous path to sports memorabilia theft.
● In a new interview, Angelina Jolie said that she wants to have more children. Then someone explained to Jolie that thanks to her there are no more left.
● eBay announced that they are firing 1,600 people. On the bright side, the fired eBay employees will be allowed to bid on the contents of their desks.
