Indeed. And using words like "scum" and "bigot" are not only accurate but effective.

Do what works.

"I watched Bill Clinton lean up against a brick wall . . . he casually stuck my tooter up his nose. He was so messed up that night, he slid down the wall into a garbage can and just sat there like a complete idiot.'"

ROTFL! The REAL Bill Clinton!

It is a good article.

On the CBS "NFL Sunday" show this morning I just caught a tiny bit of their conversation about Rush. One of them, maybe Jim Nantz, was wondering why it took people 48 hours to become outraged over Rush.

Terry McAuliffe's Democrat Party trick of the Politics Of Personal Destruction continue...

Defending Rush Limbaugh. Did anyone else hear the FOX sports announcer of the Eagles game a few moments after the game ended? He said, "Donovan McNabb deserved to win! After the past week he deserved to win." ... "We've come a long way and I can't see why 'anybody' would take us back." The stupid announcer just made Rush Limbaugh's case when he said, "Donovan McNabb deserved to win!" Why did HE deserve to win and not the team as a whole? Later I looked at the FOX sports writeup of the Eagles game which further made Rush's case when FOX prefaced their report of the Eagles win with the remark, "Take that Rush Limbaugh!" The leftist news media and sports media would love to trash Rush's career and this is only further proof. FOXsports network should rename itself "Faux sports network."

This assault on Rush proves that hardcore Dems have neither compassion nor even a sense of common decency.

I think Rush's attorneys have done a fine job putting out this fire. Lately, we've seen a lot of media backtracking on this story as they find out that use of the wiretap is illegal in Florida, the maid's husband had a criminal background, etc.

It seems likely to me that Rush's hearing loss may have been caused by his drug habit. It's just too coincidental, and unlikely that a 50-year old would suddenly lose his hearing without some external stimulus. If so, he has already paid a very heavy price. I doubt he bought pills in the quantities they claim. More likely, they were covering their tracks, attributing inventory that went to others to the Limbaugh account.

Drug dealers deal with violent characters. No sense giving out their names even if you have already made a deal with the cops. In fact, going public this way ensures that those customers who might have been worried can rest easier.

In the end, I think it's important that Rush come clean with his audience. Understanding the possible legal ramifications, I can see he may need some time before he can really spill his guts about it. Nonetheless, having listened to him from the first day he came on the air in Sacramento, I WOULD continue to trust him with my daughter, my mother, etc. And I certainly would not hold this weakness against him.

Certainly, he can continue to teach us all a big lesson in conservatism by laying claim to it, and then summoning his belief in personal responsibility to triumph over it.

I hope Rush comes out in top form on Monday and gets into all this Recall BS that is flying around.

Wish I had heard John and Ken tonight. Bet it was good. Anyone have any details on the show?

The LA Times went even further by producing more allegations of sexual assaults. To publish allegations without any attempt to confirm them is a gross breach of journalistic ethics.

The First Amendment protects printers from legal consequence for just about anything short of dropping a printing press on your head. So having a journalist toying with peoples' reputations is about like being in a jungle where a tiger may lurk--you don't assume the best but seriously consider the likelihood of encountering the worst.

Belief in "journalistic ethics" is a sign of education-induced brain damage. Why Broadcast Journalism is Unnecessary and Illegitimate is my ongoing FR thread which discusses that reality, and what might be done about it.

Because the left is amoral, this crap will go on for the rest of time as long as the Republicans play nicey-nice. The day that they employ a big stick, change will occur. For now, each day is Lucy telling the moron Charley Brown that she won't pull the football away at the last moment. The RAT's, of course, will ALWAYS le and do just that.

When some of the girly men in Washington sprout a set and prosecute the criminal scum on the left, the game will change. Until then, too bad Charley Brown - you fricken idiot.
