Crazy as ever…

The suggestion by this dumb-ass that anyone is afraid of him merely proves he remains as delusional as he was when they handed him his RNC lawn-jockey uniform and he thought that meant they actually respected him.

Handkerchief-heads have always had a tendency to overestimate the gravitas of their assigned roles and uniforms.

“One other thing: As long as we're knocking the media's ratings-based whoring, or lack of principle, it is worth pointing out that Salon.com regularly publishes the idiocy of Camille Paglia, who among other things has asserted that Obama's birth certificate is fishy, and that human-caused global warming is a hoax. The editors of Salon.com are fully aware that Paglia has a direct connection to Matt Drudge, who links to her columns within minutes of their appearance on Salon. If you're going to be criticizing other media outlets a full decade or more after the fact, then you are obligated to answer for the current behavior of Salon.com in publishing known falsehoods without comment.”

Yeah, what you said!!

In fact, what’s occurring on Salon is much worse than any of the ratings-based whoring you mentioned.

Drudge (or some other RW site) could easily provide Paglia with direct access to their audience by providing her a forum. The Salon arrangement is so much better for them because they don’t have to pay her, or justify her pseudo “liberal” opinions occupying their real estate.

Instead Drudge can just link to her bullshit/lies as a dog-biscuit for their readers who enjoy trolling a so-called liberal website and megadittoing her crap. They can also proudly go back to their own echo-chambers and say “see, the really intellectual liberals, like Camille, actually agree with us”.

I wonder who’s tapping their pens and singing on the second Wednesday of every month when that kennel is opened.

Re: “I can't wait to hear what he says on his show today.”

Now that we all know what he said on that show (which is just what any one familiar with Limbaugh should have known he was going to say); why not report now on what Julie thinks about all this?

How has it really affected “Cousin Rusty”?

How has it affected Julie and the family?

Will there be fewer generous presents from Cousin Rusty at this year’s Thanksgiving gathering?

Will family members come up with a way to dance around this clearly undeserved rebuke of dear Cousin by the Socialist NFL Czars while recounting the many things for which the family is thankful?

Does she think this will make Cousin Rusty see how his words have consequences on himself as well as on her and others?

It’s been several months since the exclusive “get” that provided so much insight into the personal side of what has come to be the “Limbaugh Phenomenon” on Salon.

The report could begin with something equally enticing to readers as that article, which began:

“I find myself in Rush Limbaugh's library standing next to a leather couch upon which Ann Coulter is perched. The room is festive -- crowded with relatives, wineglasses, cigar smoke and loud conversation. I am glaring silently at my mom from across the room with my arms crossed in the "unapproachable way" I know she hates. Mom says I have to introduce myself to Ann because everyone else in the family has met her, Thanksgiving vacation is almost over, she is Rush's guest, and I am being childish and rude. I have never spoken with Ann or read any of her books, but based on her public persona, I have decided that she is someone I hate. I feel fine about this -- happy about this -- why would I want to talk to her? And suddenly I realize that I have become the person I can't stand.”

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Time to Get After It! Because Inquiring Minds really do want to know about all things Limbaugh.

@AuntieCairo

"Rush is one of those pundits people might listen to but don't necessarily want to be seen in public with because alot of what he says is offensive to alot of people.”

You need to reexamine that premise. Again, the culprit is Daniel M. Snyder.

Mr. Snyder’s RW arrogance and insensitivity to his community is so blatant that on election eve (Monday night football in Washington vs. the Steelers) in November 2008, he was seen schmoozing in his plush owner’s box with none other than his highly visible guest, Rush Limbaugh.

Snyder is a proven loser who thinks he’s a know-it-all despite irrefutable evidence to the contrary. I wouldn’t doubt that he was the one advising his buddy, Limbaugh, that he should go for it and that no one will see him for what he is, or have any objections. After all, that’s what he thinks about himself and his ownership of the Redskins.

“Ok Rush, because no conservative leaning folks own NFL teams

Steve Bisciotti- Ravens owner, board member of pro-life Catholic Charities

Mike Brown- Bengals owner, registered Republican, donor to the campaigns of Bush II and McCain

Woody Johnson- Jets owner, fourth largest donor to GW's re-election campaign

Al Davis- Raiders, undead

Alex Spanos- Charges, GW donor, appointed to Kennedy Center board by GW

Malcolm Glazer- Buccaneers, owner of Zapata company founded by GHW Bush

In other words, Rush can cry me a river. Maybe it's not a prejudice against conservatives so much as it is against total assholes?”

Nice list, but you left out the idiot owner of the Washington Redskins: Daniel M. Snyder

Hold off on the recommendations for ACORN as recipient…

Rumor has it that a new PAC has just been created and is busily scheming how to divert any such donation to:

Amuhrkan

Consortium

Of

Republican

NutJobs

The plan is to use the funds to defend Tom Delay and other mistreated, misunderstood and unfairly attacked RW patriots.
