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).
IT'S OPEN LINE FRIDAY
[... never has such an extremist been so close to the white house....
...since Clinton invited Arafat to spend the night?
LOL...
I can’t wait for these opportunist weazels to come crawling back to McCain.
McCain has a very long memory.
A 'mistake' Barack Obama won't make a second time In early 2004, when Barack Obama was a little-known Illinois state senator running for the U.S. Senate, he told an interviewer for the Chicago Sun-Times that his biggest regret in life "was not being at my mother's bedside when she died. She was in Hawaii in a hospital, and we didn't know how fast it was going to take. And I didn't get there in time." (Is it me?)
That's not going to happen again, he told Harry Smith of CBS' "Early Show" today, explaining why he is taking a two-day break from his presidential campaign to visit his grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, in Honolulu (see video clip below). Dunham, who turns 86 on Sunday, has been described as "gravely ill" after falling and breaking her hip. (okay, who sticks around and gives interviews?)
She still lives in the same modest two-bedroom apartment in Honolulu where she and her husband, Stanley, who died in 1992, raised the young Obama, and later his half-sister, while their mother (her daughter, Stanley Ann) was living abroad. (note decades ago she sold the house to send him to Punahou)
"I suppose I provided some stability in his life," the woman Obama calls "Toot" (short for tutu, meaning "grandparent" in Hawaiian) said in 2004 during a rare interview with the Chicago Tribune. (yep, rare)
A campaign ad features a photograph of the candidate and his grandparents, with a voice-over of Obama saying they "taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland" where they were born. His grandmother's presence was also felt in the pivotal speech on race he made in March, during the controversy over the incendiary comments of his onetime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright:
(Note. Martin had a good point... why aren't there more photos, why such a time gap between the ten year old O vs. the graduating O)
I can no more disown [Wright] than I can disown my white grandmother, a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe. (not exactly portrayed in his book this way)
In August, while vacationing with his family in Hawaii before the Democratic convention, Obama visited Dunham almost every day. (Strange, the media, who they attempted to prevent going btw, only reported a single one hour visit in August /without his wife or kids/ and he was there for a week)
“My grandmother's the last one left,” Obama told Smith today. “She has really been the rock of the family, the foundation of the family.... I want to make sure that I don't make the same mistake twice.” (that's why it took so long to go? I assume his sister took off earlier to care for her. Regardless, if the trauma of his mother affected him so, he would have been gone long ago and would not be able to tell them when he was coming back, as in reports by his spokesmen)

Fantastic, Detroit is now a bastion of liberal Utopian bliss.
How dare you ask in the first place! /s
That’s nasty! LOL
Just heard on Rush the Rinos are defecting to the BO side in droves...
Michelle might also attract more media attention to the visit, and I think the real purpose of Obama's visit is to try to "obtain" a birth certificate.
So let’s get this straight: we are going to see more than $4 trillion in new spending, have a big tax increase, and defund our military — while certain to face international challenges where “it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.” And this is what Democrats are saying?
If the McCain camp were not so busy at the dirty laundry festival, they might make use of all this in one last punchy ad.

Amen to that. I see it as they are greedy selfish jealous sob’s who most likely never worked a decent job in their life.....
**Barbara West Interviews Biden in Orlando - GREAT! (LOL!)**
She’s good.. how she kept her composure thru his Blatant STUPIDY is beyond me. Good thing he was on SATLINK.. she’d probably beat him with her chair!
Exactly .... spot on analysis as usual, AQ. My thoughts were along those lines.
She was great in a movie with the late Gregory Peck.
“I Walk the Line”. Oldie but goody.
EVERYONE's!!!
Welcome to FR, Uversabound.
Stand up...
This caller’s employees are correct in one thing, we will all be equally in squalor.
As Rushbo says....the common demoninator is the weakest link.
