Limbaugh Predicts "Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill" (Rats in a Rage Alert)
ABC News ^ | March 6, 2009 | David Chalian

Democrats are eager to keep banging the Rush Limbaugh drum. And today they are seizing on Rush Limbaugh's comments about Obama's health care plan on his radio show which Limbaugh predicted would be called the "Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill" by the time it's over."

On his radio show, Limbaugh was criticizing President Obama for not keeping his banking plan front and center and keeping the public focus on that critical problem because, Limbaugh assumes, it would be unpopular to do so. Mr. Limbaugh said that President Obama has now pushed healthcare reform to center stage because it is "highly visible, news leading, gets a great focus, plus it has the great liberal lion Teddy Kennedy pushing it. Before it's all over, it will be called the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care Bill."

Is this the same Ted Kennedy that the Brits just knighted? Wait, and then they got crappy DVDs and $4.99 toy helicopters in return? Now I’m going to have to call it even I think.

I don't understand the rage. Kennedy is near the end of his life and the Democrats will seek to exploit that in their socialized medicine agenda.

Only if they screwed up somehow in the office and have to do it as punishment.

Of course that’s what they will do. They’ll stick that tub of lard’s name on the bill before he even gets stuck in the ass with the pitchfork the second time.

The ‘RATS have total power and control of the country and they are still pissed off. They’d gripe if you hung them with a new rope! WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT?! We can wear hammer and sickle armbands for them if it will just shut the little crybabies up!

yeah but will they all agree with him?

Of course, those numbers will drive his advertising fees through the roof, making him richer than ever!

Rush tells the truth and the MSM goes nuts. US Congressmen call Bush a murderer and it’s reported breathlessly as hard news.

They are all just peeved he preempted them.
Teddy is toast and everybody knows it.
We all know it's going to be the Wellstone memorial on steroids. It's all just too predictable.

Way over my head there. I missed any point you were just trying to make. Remember to breathe while typing.

Ted Kennedy should have gone to jail. Period. And women still vote for this felon.

“was criticizing President Obama for not keeping his banking plan front and center and keeping the public focus on that critical problem because, Limbaugh assumes, it would be unpopular to do so”

I’m glad they’re saying this, even though it’s meant to be a slam to Rush, there will, hopefully, be some readers with an active brain cell that will see the truth in Rush’s statement.
