Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh took the high road Monday following Wanda Sykes saying he is a terrorist and making other acerbic comments about him during a comedic routine at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner over the weekend.
Talk-radio fans and political junkies buzzed in anticipation about what Mr. Limbaugh might say on his national, three-hour radio show.
Instead of retaliating against Ms. Sykes, Mr. Limbaugh spent much of the show praising former Vice President Dick Cheney, who on Sunday was much kinder.
"What motivates Dick Cheney," Mr. Limbaugh asked rhetorically numerous times during his show. "He has all the millions he needs. He doesn't want to run for election. He's not hot for interns. He is not a torture freak."
Mr. Limbaugh eventually said Mr. Cheney continues to open himself to attacks by the liberal "drive-by media" because he is an American who speaks from his heart.
Mr. Cheney said Sunday on "Face the Nation" that Limbaugh is more representative of the Republican Party than former Secretary of State Colin Powell, whom he presumed left the party when supporting Barack Obama in the presidential race.
Ms. Sykes' comments about Mr. Limbaugh while hosting the annual Washington event Saturday night drew a mix of laughter and boos.
"Rush Limbaugh said he hopes this administration fails," Ms. Sykes said. "He just wants the country to fail. To me, that's treason. He's not saying anything different than what Osama bin Laden is saying. You might want to look into this, sir, because I think Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker. But he was just so strung out on OxyContin, he missed his flight. … Rush Limbaugh, 'I hope the country fails,' I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

Sean Hannity should have ignored her as well. They ALL should have ignored her.
You’ve got to realise these trolls stay just long enough to get screencaps of how they *showed us*, then go back to DU or Ko’s. Stop feeding them.
Oops, I replied TO the troll. My bad.
ROFL! Indeed.
There is a lesson for all here: Never get into a cat fight with a stinking pussy. Even if you win, the stench will cling to you for a long time and even tomato juice won’t get it off. (hAVE YOU EVER SMELLED A CAT AFTER A CAT FIGHT? CAN’T DESCRIBE THE ODOR EXCEPT TO SAY IT IS HORRIBLE).
Let her slink back into the urine-stained alley she came from. One day a trash truck will run her over and she’ll just be roadkill for the day, and then, nothing.

You're right. Objective case. Got me.
As soon as you do 1/100,000,000 of the good Rush Limbaugh has done for the conservative message, be sure and let us know.
When they actually prosecute anyone, please ping me.
Hedge fund managers donated millions to Osama and didn’t believe he was really a Marxist. They should have listened to his campaign rhetoric. They were wrong.
Apparently the guy’s campaign rhetoric was actually real. So I don’t think he will do that since he said he wouldn’t. He is a man of his word, unfortunately.
I take it back. We were correct.
He is a better radio man than you (are) or I (am). The verb "to be" is understood.
Cheney is doing what Bush couldn’t do in eight years and now refuses to do, what the Republican congressional “leadership” is too scared to do - he’s taking the liberals head on and articulating the principles he followed and we still need to follow to win the war on terror. God bless him.

That is EXACTLY right!
I recall an interview of Dick Cheney around 1995 or early 1996 when he had decided NOT to run for President in 1996. He cited family as the reason. He didn't want to put them through the ringer that comes with running for Prez.
I was SORELY disappointed he didn't run then.
I have been a fan of Mr. Cheney's for a LONG, long time.
He is GREAT!!
Dick Cheney is a great speaker for one.
Well he tried not to be affected by it. I seem to recall him saying he didn’t exhale.
Meghan McCain is a brat. She acts, “Oh I Am So Better Than Everyone Else!”.
..Having at first assumed that you were referring to WJC.
I bet he’s alot better at makin’ money that you. And better at expressing the conservative perspective.
She wanted him to respond, and he gave her the Heisman!
humblegunner is no troll but he is wrong on Rush
This thread is chock full’o trolls tonight. Man, nothing brings them out of the woodwork like Limbaugh.
