Ba-Zing!

Well played, Bobby!

Now what is the President doing about reversing the desecration of the Constitution perpetrated by his predecessor?

Also . . .

Any end in sight to this complete collapse of an economic model based almost exclusively on good will, perceived value and imaginary money?

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 01:47 PM

Love it...

love it, love it, love it.

it's about the money.

I think this is all fundraising. As soon as these guys criticize Rush, someone on the extreme right shows them the stats on how much money they make from Rush, they immediately recant.

Wonder if this could be absolutely proven?

The President and All His Men

Can't get rid of one single radio host? I would have never believed such awesome drama could exist.

Snap!

Well played, sir.

Steely Dan

He could have elevated himself above the rabble-rousing fray by recommitting himself to the task at hand - making the republican party relevant. Instead, he succumbed to the 15 minutes of fame media. Distancing himself from media blowhard potshots would have been a good start at rehabilitating the image of what is really the majority of Republicans -- those who do not hew to the ideology of the likes of Rush Limbauag and just wish they would go away. $400,000,000 could entice me to stick around awhile, regardless of whether or not I was wanted.

And I, as a moderate left winger, cannot be happier about these developments. Finally, the money/ratings driven tv news has a leg to chew on that isn't attached to a Democrat! Har.

As usual, the right wing authoritarian completely misses the point

Who said anything about "getting rid" of Limbaugh?

Are you really so incredibly stupid that you don't even understand the issue?

Rush can be the head of the Republican Party for as long as you want, wingnut. Not only do we not care, we encourage you to continue down this road.

Rush is gonna be the gift that

keeps on giving. At least until an angry Republican puts a bullet in him for the good of the party.

Let's keep this up!

We shouldn't rest until Rush Limbaugh is the face of the republican party in the minds of the general pulbic as well! Best way to keep them in the wilderness.

@siebecker

That day may come, metaphorically, perhaps. Rush kinda reminds me of Saddam Husein- a combo of strongman and useful idiot who was installed and propped up by the USA...

...that is, until he was no longer useful. You remember how that ended.
