Some of the stuff Rush comes up with just cracks me up, such as 'little Dick Gephardt'.

Ah, would that he'd just up and disappear the way the original colonists at Roanoke did.

Oh. Whoops.

And he fought in Vietnam? Are you sure? I've heard some people saying that, but I haven't heard anything on the news, or in his speeches, or anything. Guess he's really modest about his service, rarely bringing it up.

Liberal Dem, or leftist Dem? There are no more liberals, the closest thing to the definition of a liberal are the neo-cons.

My husband thinks that I should write to Hannity and tell him that Colmes is conservative and that the neo-cons, like Bill Kristol are the real liberals. He thinks it might be a good debate.

Not that modest. A few months ago, he emphasized that he had a right to talk about war and peace, having served in Vietnam. He was implying that only veterans could talk about such matters. Once he got flambeed in print for that one, he suddenly became more humble, or at least quiet, about that topic.

Was it Rush who coined "French-looking John Kerry"?

Wall Street Journal's "Best of the Web" column never mention Kerry's name without adding "the French-looking liberal Senator who, by the way, served in Vietnam."

Uh...that is the Roanoke Colony in NC that vanished...this is Roanoke, VA.

I heard Rush say that Kerry is quoted in the Boston Globe as saying he is BLESSED to be weathly and we need to means-test social security. That means we need to CUT BENEFITS...Kerry is proposing Cutting Social Security, something that the Rats always accuse the Republicans of planning....unbelievable!!
