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, serving humanity simply by showing up, and he’s not retiring until every American agrees with him, do NOT doubt him, with shrieks of joy at the mere mention of his name (that’s Rush, for those in Rio Linda),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, all-concerned 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. Leader of the Conservative Movement. 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).
Newt is a conservative who was under constant assault for years. Remember the Gingrich That Stole Christmas? Put yourself in his place and think how you would hold up in that situation. Especially when others you thought were your political allies were nowhere to be found coming to your defense. I’m not saying that to excuse Newt, just trying to put it into perspective.
It also helps explain why I love Sarah Palin. She has been treated as unkindly and so far, hasn’t allowed the pressure to get to her.
I did listen to that entire conversation, and read the transcript kindly provided on this thread by EoL.
That’s why it so surprised me then and still surprises me every time Rush keeps mentioning “Era of Reagan is over” which, unfortunately, is almost every time I had a chance to listen.
What about Newt as VP? He would still be able to debate and if Biden is still there, he would be debating Biden....that could be fun.
I like your tagline.
Mitt’s not got a chance. He lost his best chance in 2008. I’m not a Newt fan, and haven’t cared for him since he resigned in 1998. (Am I really that old???)
As for his debate skills....after seeing that “debate” in South Carolina...I have no problem believe he’s the best debater in the lot so far.
Well, so be it, I don’t see that, I think he is very intelligent, able to bone up on things very fluidly and be able to explain things very well, which pushes my theory that he is not a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. He’s just simply a political animal who sees an opening and owns it. Right now, the country is so educated, thanks to talk radio, we can see through his folly. All I’m sayin.
Thanks. lol.
Seth McFarlane does the Flintstones?
When it’s Democrat male behavior, the libs bend over backwards to defend them. In this case, the suspicion of some people has materialized. It didn’t take much time for a liberal magazine to obliquely defend the head of the IMF. Had a Republican done anything near what he did, he would be pilloried.
Newt was tenacious back in the day. He is best suited to legislating, not administrating and his legislating days are over. It’s time to let younger, fresher, more enthusiastic conservatives take over. Out with the old, in with the new.
Palin/Perry ‘12
I love how he claims she was “out to get him” and that there is this huge plot to ruin him...when he fled, got on a plane and left behind several items in a panic. Yet, lieberals will defend him tooth and nail. Somehow, though, we on the right are the women haters. We want women chained to the kitchen, being sexual slaves. (I actually was accused of this, despite being a woman myself.)
I had to doublecheck on you.....yup, Colorado.
Spent 35 years there, some of it on small-town city councils and Planning/Zoning Commissions. First item on any agenda I ever saw there was “Water”, and the only towns I know of OUT OF THE ENTIRE STATE who’ve got a stable, reliable source of water sufficient for their existing and probable future development are Denver and Broomfield. (And that was as of 10 years ago, so I’m not real sure that Denver’s still on that list.)
Catch a six-month dry spell around that place, with or without snowpack enough to fill reservoirs, and there’s a whole bunch of Prairie Palaces out in Aurora that are going to have bare baked dirt for lawns, every car will be a dirty red and folks will all learn why those lousy Cottonwoods are the only deciduous tree growing down in the flats.
Move rainstorms? Well, that would be nice work if you could get it. JMHO, Colorado would do better for water if they stopped letting California suck it all up. (Go out on the West Slope and mention that deal if you don’t mind getting your ears burned.)
Mitt’s a quitter, so is Fred T...
You notice how liberal feminists will always by default believe the woman in a rape allegation, UNLESS the accused is a hero of liberalism (e.g., Bill Clinton)?
Excuse me, but Rick Perry I need to know more about him. I heard he is a MODERATE!!
Newt was great as a minority/backbench, rightwing bomb thrower during his time in the House. As Speaker, Newt's undisciplined nature undermined his leadership. While Newt had some successes as Speaker, he also had some serious failures, both on policy and in his personal life.
Newt has been out of office for 12 years. Fact is, Newt was run out of office for his unappealing leadership, his egotism and his unethical actions and hypocrisy. In the time since Newt has been out of elected office, he has done very little to advance conservatism. His nuanced attempts to reconstruct parts of the conservative agenda hasn't worked.
Just as Bush43's Compassionate Conservatism was a failure. Newt's efforts at a kinder and gentler conservatism has failed. In reality, Newt has part of the problem and not part of the solution.
