Rush is taking the week off, and so is the official introduction. }:-D I unfortunately do not know yet who his substitute will be.
Anyone who didn't hear, read, or see Rush's reaction to Governor Palin's resignation, I've linked it Here.
For now Piper has escaped. Has anyone noticed how much she is like her mother? I will never forget those images of her at the convention, smoothing Trig’s baby hair. And then up on the state, what a little hambone she is! You could see she loved all the hoopla & I’m pretty sure she thought they were all applauding for her.
As well we all should be.
I am finding the reaction to Palin to be fascinating. An awful lot of women I know are railing about her being a “quitter”, while most of the men express sympathy for what her family has been put through.
.38-.39, what ever it takes.
Guess I was just half listening again.
2 million state funds plus 500K from Palin family have been spent.
I just had an unmanly moment there.
Good morning/afternoon, megaRushIsAwaydittos from Biggirl! Ping!:)=^..^=
I love Piper. I think she has more sense than our current heads of state.
I used to like Laura, but she’s comes across as a little too angry. Yes, I know there is alot to be angry about. That’s why Rush is the master. He gets angry every now and then, but he goes on break and comes back fresh.
Now that would be something.
Mark Belling is sitting in today.....
As a strong independent woman, I am inspired.
Better than Mark Davis.
Ever notice how Rush’s subs have the name Mark? *L* It must be in their contract.
I bet you that Wiener is going to call Palin a quitter..
The motor-mouth subbing for Glenn sux bigtime! The dude needs some decaf and stick to his own gig.
If he’s the sub all week, I’ll be tuning out. With Rush out and unknown subs at the helm, it’s gonna be a long week!
I guess it’s a good thing whne the folks carrying the water for the DNC media come out of the closet. At least now I know which side of the fence they align themselves with.
When and how did Rush weigh in?
Absolutely. It’s sad when Bill Kristol is her strongest defender.
Puck ‘em, that’s what I say. ;)
Why she can't just wait and see, even though that's what she says she's doing, which is BS, is beyond me.

RUSH: This is Rush. I’m on a golf vacation, parts unknown, all week long. Six cities, six courses, starting today. On this Palin business, you know, one of the reasons I haven’t said anything to anybody is I don’t know what this means – and I think all of this is just speculation. We don’t know what her reasons for doing this are yet. The speculation here and the predictions here rival some of the irresponsibility I saw with people speculating on the cause of death of Michael Jackson when nobody knew – and we still don’t know with Michael Jackson. We think we do but we don’t. We haven’t had an official autopsy report.
As far as I know, nobody in Palin’s camp or Palin herself has said what the hell this is about and why she’s doing this. So everybody’s guessing and everybody’s applying their own, either inside-the-Beltway formulas to this... All I know is this: If Sarah Palin has any desire to do a TV show, to do speeches, to raise money, to earn money – whatever it’s for – if she has any desire for a future, be it in politics, be it in media or whatever, she’s going to have to do it in the Lower 48. She cannot do it in Alaska. It’s not going to get it done.
I don’t think this precludes her running for office down the road, the presidency in 2012, at all. I think these people saying that she’s an instant target because she quit, that’s just inside-the-Beltway formulaic and she’s not that. If anything this woman, her m.o. is outside-the-box and not formulaic. So until we know what this is all about, I think it’s just everybody trying to be the smartest person in the room trying to predict or analyze, when nobody can really know. All I know is that she is going to continue to fire-up people in the conservative Republican base as often as she speaks to ‘em.
Judging from my emails, I haven’t seen a whole lot of ‘em from people who are disappointed or who will throw her overboard like a lot of people are. It boils down to this: When you have so many establishment types – inside-the-Beltway, elite, establishment types (Republican, Democrat, it doesn’t matter) – just so eager to destroy this woman, it means they’re still scared to death of her. And that, to me, is the bottom line. You know, I’m living proof that you do things outside the box, that you don’t do them formulaically – and if you do it the right way, you don’t have to be part of a formula.
And I think it’s one of the problems with D.C. Beltway types and wannabe D.C. Beltway analyst types or whatever. So I hope this helps, but I’m not going to sit here and tell you I know for sure what this means because I don’t, ‘cause I haven’t heard her say – I haven’t heard anybody in her camp say – what this is all about and why she’s doing it. It’s all just speculation, and until we know, it’s just stupid to sit here and say, “I know for sure what she’s doing,” when nobody does except her – and she’ll tell us at some point, and then we’ll know.
