THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
Rush Limbaugh's week went from bad to worse today. His name has surfaced in a drug investigation in Florida. According to law enforcement sources, he allegedly bought large amounts of prescription painkillers illegally. This after he quit under pressure as host of ESPN's Sunday NFL countdown for his racially charged remarks.

It figures CNN would invite Rush Limbaugh's worst enemy on the planet to talk about this issue.

Franken - "You know, in my book Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot" This seems to confirm my theory that O'Reilly and Limbaugh are actually the same person.

Pfft. Maybe this is worth pointing out:
CNN has been deprogrammed from my TV
It's been this way for about a week and will stay so indefinitely. Many modern TV's have channel auto-skip and mine jumps right over CNN and CNN Headline News. Bad for CNN and bad for their advertisers. I suggest everyone here do the same.

It figures CNN would invite Rush Limbaugh's worst enemy on the planet to talk about this issue. Yes, I'm not really surprised at all by this. They found the person who could spew the most hate-filled venom towards Rush. Naturally, that would be Al Franken.

If there is a drug problem, do you think it possibly could have stemmed from the medication he took during this very difficult time of his life?
What makes Franken qualified to answer on CNN these sorts of questions about Rush? Sheesh! Looks to me like they found Franken 'to speculate' -- and they already knew in advance just how Franken was going to respond. BIAS!

That makes Rush a Clinton expert thenIf I were producing a TV news show purely on a new Bill Clinton scandal, I would not have Rush Limbaugh on at all, just like I would not have on Rahm Emanuel or James Carville.

Franken: "But I think, actually, the statements that Rush made about black quarterbacks, he may have said it because he was high at the time."
Oh how nice. Franken is a big fat idiot.

How'd you like Paula Zahn's condescending little dismissal of Armstrong Williams?
"One man's opinion."
Translation: "You're an idiot and a traitor to your race. Your opinion counts for squat."
Way to be inclusive, CNN!

Franken - "You know, in my book Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot"
And in mine, Al Franken is a short, monkey-faced moron. Does that make me a Franken expert according to the Communist News Network?
