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, 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).

Thx for the pingy...
Rush had an incredibly good show yesterday...every point was just spot on. ElRushbo must be just loving the recent events in Illinois. Must be hard to condense it all down to ‘just’ three hours :)
It sure is hard to wait 21 hours for the next dose when he is as on fire as he was yesterday. :)
Thanks. Here.
I’ll pass on the Zicam. Just don’t seem to get colds now that we don’t have daily exposure to school-age kids.
..or maybe I’m just too da** ornery to get sick.
(Gloating my way back into WnL mode)
Well aren’t you special, Mr. I don’t get a cold. *L*
I don’t think anything helps like a healthy dose of FR!
Yesterday, I was stunned (ok, stuned) that 3pm rolled around so quickly...he was in that top form yesterday!
I will now consider myself duly and righteously flogged in public.
LOL
Imagine how long Rush would have been gone if he had not taken Zicam....
You know what they call people who tempt the coldgermies? Patients!!!
I know. I try to get people to move our lunches to 11:30, so I can get the full three hours, but no one else thinks Rush is as important as do I. *L*
Rush never posted yesterdays show in the archive. I think the employee who handles this should be fired!
Body found near Caylee Anthony’s home. :( Wishing for the best outcome.
the title is wrong....it says november 11....it’s december
Thank you for adding my input into your thread open!
I just remembered one more:
Your guiding light through times of trouble, turmoil, turbulence, murkiness, confusion, forged documents, crooked Illinois politicians, fake Office of the President-Elect - and even the good times...
and the latest czar announcement
Not even inaugurated yet, Obama’s administration could well be the most corrupt in American history

Behind the Strategy of Obama’s Appointments
Sultan Knish ^ | 12-11-2008 | Sultan Knish
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/
Among Liberals and Conservatives there is a certain amount of bafflement at Obama’s cabinet appointments, which are being characterized as center-right.
On the left there are clashing calls of “Give him a chance” and “What the hell is going on here”, and some on the right are displaying idiotic glee at Gates remaining on the job and are even prepared to embrace Hillary Clinton, little understanding what any of it means.
They don’t get it because they are looking at Obama’s appointments from an American political perspective. But Obama is not an American, and his political strategies are not what Americans are used to.
American Presidents appoint cabinet members they agree with to successfully carry out their policies, but Obama will appoint cabinet members he disagrees with as a hedge against failure.
Obama has said repeatedly that he expects long term economic problems, and that he will need two terms to fulfill his promises. Biden has spoken about a major crisis that will strike early in Obama’s first term. None of that is a coincidence, because this is not an administration preparing for success, but one that is preparing for failure.
Obama’s cabinet is not really a conventional American Presidential cabinet as much as it is a European style”coalition government”, front loaded with what passes for “Conservatives” in the Democratic party. (Keep in mind that this is a party that has become so extreme that Hillary Clinton and John Kerry are considered its conservatives.)
Unlike European governments though, Obama’s cabinet appointments have a great deal of visibility, but no real political power. Beginning most prominently with Hillary Clinton, Obama has surrounded himself with three of his opponents in the 2008 election. That is unprecedented in American politics, but not so unusual in a coalition government where keeping your enemies close is normal.
That combination of public visibility and political helplessness however makes the likes of Hillary Clinton and Gates dependent on Obama, far more than their European counterparts would be. While they may be the public face of their respective areas of responsibility, the policies will be made behind the scenes by Obama’s real backers. The Samantha Power-Hillary Clinton duality in the State Department is typical of the real arrangement. The Cabinet members have been chosen for name recognition, but the real power will be in the hands of the radical left.
And so the policies of the left will be implemented with a “human face”. Republicans will find themselves unable to protest what Gates will do, after all wasn’t he Bush’s Secretary of Defense, will be the reply? Jews will be told to shut up, isn’t Hillary Clinton a friend of Israel? And so it will go down the line.
And when setbacks occur, Obama will have his “centrists” to blame and throw under the bus. He won’t be “responsible”, his coalition government will be. And in an American system he can “dissvolve” the coalition by firing his cabinet members without any need for new elections. This way Obama gets the best of both systems, by exploiting the chinks in American democracy, as he has done all throughout his career.
And when Obama shows his real hand with a new left wing cabinet, there will be no more room for protests. After all didn’t his “center - right” cabinet fail? Time to give the radicals a chance to drive the bus, as if they had not been driving the bus all along. Obama will ask for another chance to implement his agenda, this time “uncompromised” by having to work together with the conservatives who failed him and the country. No wonder those in the know around Obama are smirking at the gleeful reaction by conservatives to Obama’s cabinet appointments.
Tactics like these are not uncommon in parliamentary systems, and beginning with Soros’ “Shadow Party”, the game plan has been to skew the Democratic party and American politics far to the left, using the European and Third World political arrangements that Soros and Obama are most comfortable with.
The radical left’s tactics commonly involve gaining power by forming limited coalitions with more moderate liberals, only to find a pretext for purging them once in power. Obama has his coalition now and his scapegoats. And the game is beginning.
But the key to understanding what is set to happen, is that the left’s rhetoric and its real agenda are not at all the same thing. The radical left may be anti-war in the opposition, but once in office, it is very much pro-war, only the targets of the war change. Under the left, occupations become peacekeeping missions, and domestic police powers become completely justified.
But Conservatives who applaud this change are like pigs who applaud the sausage machine. Bill Clinton vastly extended the power of Federal law enforcement without any domestic crisis to justify it, and helped turn what was left of Yugoslavia into a pipeline for drugs, sex trafficking and Jihad using the US military. The current Democratic congress will pass things that will make the Patriotic Act look Libertarian by comparison, and Obama will target countries like Columbia and Israel who are standing up to the terrorists.
Start looking beneath the surface. The Obama campaign was conducted with a smiley face up front concealing the ugly vicious guts of the real campaign inside. That is a taste of what is coming for the next four years. It was a campaign of smoke and mirrors, a grandiose media spectacle with empty slogans, that amounted to nothing. It was the organized vote fraud and media recruitment that mattered. And that is the lesson for those who want to understand the enemy. What is out front means absolutely nothing. It’s the agenda behind the scenes that really matters.
Expect a great many vapid statements over the next four years, events that have no purpose except to put on a show and grandiose sounding names, while the real work will go on in the basement, and the scenery on stage will change in order to keep right on manipulating the public. But nothing is what it seems. This will not be a White House run in any conventional way and that is the real message of Obama’s cabinet appointments. Forget the usual conventions of American politics, the rule book has changed. The White House is no longer in American hands, and American politics no longer runs by American rules. While some conservatives reach for the brass ring of bipartisanship, refusing to realize that what they are reaching for does not exist. What exists is a ruthlessly planned takeover of American democracy. Resisting it is our task.

Well, of course he was on fire:
He got a good night's sleep on his Sleep Number Bed...
probably after having Allen Bros. Steakhouse for dinner...
took a nice hot soak thanks to his Rinnai Tankless Water Heater...
and knows his identity is secure due to Lifelock!
And God bless him for all his success!
