Just Wow. For those that were listening, it was one of the most facinating exchanges between a listener and Rush Limbaugh. Rush was speaking to an out-of-work grandmother who loves Pittsburg, and used to live there when Rush was working at a local radio station. She said that she couldn't afford the trip up, and was nearly indigent, and Rush is going to get her and her son a hotel room, a ride from their home in FL to Tampa for the Super Bowl.
..or for the Messiah’s own coronation ceremony.
Good for Rush and I am sure that the recipients will have a great time.
Perhaps, but they are being given as a gift in good faith.
And sometimes people need to have an uplifting experience, it isn’t anything measurable out of her pocket.
If Rush wanted to give her a charity donation to meet her bills, he would have done that. And he would’ve been hit by such calls for the next umpteen months.
Rush’s gesture even had this hard core insensitive, unempathetic, cold hearted, SOB a bit choked up.
Well, he doesn’t think the Cardinals have it. Given that I really like Kurt Warner—probably the best guy around—I hop they do well. But that defence....BTW. Rothisberger(sp?) seems like an alright guy as well. Did you hear that interview he gave the kid reporter? Of course the kid is a better reporter: he had some good questions.
Ditto.
“My question is this: How many poor people did the Messiah help get transportation, lodging, and tickets to the Super Bowl? WIll he attempt to upstage Rush in his great generosity?”
OHHhhh my.... shhhhhhh.
no he will TAX the super bowl which only 1/10 will go to some poor shmuck, then keep the rest for pork barrel spending. With that he will clam, ‘he won’.
He bought a new GMC of the listeners choice a couple of months ago to a lady. It just proves a point, libs don’t do this...period. Rush does this and pays the entire deal, tax etc.
Oprah gave away Pontiacs to the entire audience about 2 years ago. They had to pay tax, title and license.
Your screen name resembles your remark.
Let Grandma enjoy this perhaps her last football hurrah on Rush! Once in a while you just have to let good things happen, you may never have that opportunity again.
“Lighten up Frances!”
Did Rush ever buy that one gal the GM car? I remember him saying he was going to. Rush is gotta be loving the ability to do these types of things.
P.S. Proof that real charity begins when someone has the money to do so and hasn’t been taxed so that government has it all.
What a concept! He’s helping someone in need from the good of his heart with what he earned, not taking it from someone forcefully and redistributing it to another.
THAT EEEEEVIL REPUBLICAN! HOW DARE HE FORCE THIS WOMAN OUT OF HER HOME
Yep, he sure did. There was a thread here after she got her car.
Rush also got this woman today a hotel room for the Super Bowl.
I wonder if Obambi will tax her ‘income’ from this
I imagine that the grandmother would rather have the money that the tickets would bring.
Obama’s going to sing at halftime!!!
The skys will open, the light will come down and the Messiah will sing.
This was a very lovely gesture by Rush. She didn’t ask him for anything. She just loves the Steelers.
He didn’t offer her cash, he offered her tickets and a hotel room.
Cripes, this woman was was tearing up.
Was she supposed to say, well gimmee the cash, Rush, I am supposed to be ashamed?
Can you be happy for someone else?
