Limbaugh Smack Down on MSNBC

One has to give Rush Limbaugh props for being a great entertainer when it comes to talking politics. In the same respect you have to think that his logic on calling MSNBC on the carpet recently an idiotic move. Rush’s latest logical thought on loan from God (His words and not mine) is that MSNBC couldn’t survive for thirty days without mentioning his name? MSNBC couldn't survive if it were not for the sweat they piggy back off of his royal high and mightyness, Rush Limbaugh. For the record, I don’t think Rush’s thought on this topic was on loan from God as it was more self preserving under the microscope of all the media in the nation. You can’t plant yourself in the chair as the one and only spokesman for the GOP and not get some media attention. It's a hot seat Rush, ya want it then it comes with some serious heat. No charge buddy. This is actually a heating bill that some of us don't really mind paying.

Keith Olbermann has a few unkind thoughts for Mr. Limbaugh and his message that MSNBC needs to only talk about Rush on a daily basis to get ratings. And I was watching Countdown all this time for all the topics that didn't include Rush Limbaugh...

I have to think about Rush Limbaugh’s request to be left alone by MSNBC. Then again, no I don't. Rush can say whatever he wants and MSNBC isn’t supposed to report it? That isn’t going to happen Rush. Sorry. Talk to Fox News and maybe they might honor your request. I understand they are a little bit more accomodating to ya over there.

Limbaugh Declared King of GOP

All across the news this weekend is the holier than Obama word of Rush Limbaugh dictating his desires on where his Grand Old Party is going to be politically in the weeks and months to come. Limbaugh aka Rush, reiterated his stance that he hopes and prays that President Obama fails in all his efforts to revive our economy, the world economy, and turning the unemployment trend around. I would have to say that that would be a fair description of good old boy Rush’s speech at the richer than God CPAC conference. Check CNN out for the video of it all. Get the actual transcript with audience responses noted throughout from his Lordship himself here.

Make no doubts about it, I want to predict right here and right now that the fat son of a biscuit eater is running for the GOP slot in the next Presidential election! No offense to people with a weight problem or those of us that love to eat our mom’s fresh hot biscuits right out of the oven. Over at the Huffington Post they have this to say on it…

At his closing speech at the CPAC conference, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh doubled down on his widely-controversial claim that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail, insisting that he meant what he said, and chastising those who were critical of him.

"This notion that I want the president to fail, this shows you the problem we've got. This is nothing more than common sense and to not be able to say it? Why in the world would I want what we just described: rampant government growth, wealth that is not being created yet is being spent? What is in this, what is possibly in this that any of us want to succeed? Did the Democrats want the war of Iraq to fail? They certainly did. And they not only wanted the war in Iraq to fail they proclaimed it a failure.... They hoped George Bush failed. So what is so strange about being honest and saying I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation?"

The crowd, watching in three individual ballrooms because of overcrowding, went absolutely wild. - Huffington Post

After watching most of the blah, blah, blah gas bag speech of Rush, I had to go to the bathroom to physically vomit. From everything that I heard and saw him say, he’s pissed that his political party lost the last two elections but still wants things the way they were. Grow up Rush, go stand in the corner and count off the days till your political party looses the next election too in 2012.

Rahm Emanuel has it coined that Rush Limbaugh is the official spokesperson of the GOP and even the GOP should be terrified of that depiction. Technically, Rush Limbaugh is the only talking head for the 20% that still think President Bush was doing a fantastic job right up to the minute he and the rest of his defunct political party left office. Over at Politico they have this to say on King Rush…

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel charged Sunday that conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is “the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican Party.”

Emanuel, speaking in deliberately soothing tones, told anchor Bob Schieffer on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Limbaugh has been up front about “praying for failure” by President Obama.

“I think that’s the wrong philosophy for America,” Emanuel said. “What Americans want us to do, and what President Obama has been very clear about, is work together setting our goals …

“Our goal, Bob, is to continue to reach out and it’s our desire that the Republicans would work with us and try to be constructive, rather than adopt the philosophy of somebody like Rush Limbaugh.” - Politico

I think that we can sum up that the extreme far right of the GOP is trying to make a grab for power of the party and the heir apparent is none other than his royal Hiney-Ass Rush Limbaugh. Count your blessings that he has not one son or daughter to continue his vengeful reign. Then again, if Rush Limbaugh and Ann Culter ever hook up that would pretty much put Rose Mary's Baby to shame.

Rush Limbaugh is a dinosaur and like them he should be a fossil for the archives of the Smithsonian. While he supports only half the troops in our military, please do not support any of his advertisers.

Correction: Red Lobster has contacted me and informed me that they no longer advertise for Rush Limbaugh

I was made aware your recent blog post in which Red Lobster is mentioned, and would like the opportunity to offer clarification about our advertising.

Red Lobster does not advertise on Rush Limbaugh’s program. In 2004, we shifted our advertising focus away from radio to concentrate on network and cable television. We do not advertise on any radio networks or sponsor radio programs.

I appreciate the opportunity to respond and thank you for your time.

THE GLOBAL WAR ON TRUTH

Contributed by Michael Linn Jones

Having become somewhat accustomed to a constant feeling of nausea, I was thrown off by the realiization that it was passing. So, in order to rectify this, I listened to Rush Limbaugh for a while today. It doesn't take much, but something he said stuck with me. It starts at one point but can race off in several directions.

The Great Bloviator made the statement that liberals were aiding and abetting terrorists by ciriticizing President Bush. It is wartime, and to question or criticize is tantamount to treachery. According to that logic, should I pose the question: "Is George W. Bush capable of pouring piss out of a boot with the instructions printed on the heel?"....I am encouraging terrorists to attack us. I am apparently giving carte blanche to Bin Laden and his lunatic band of murderers.

As the saying goes, I may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb. So I will proceed with this 'aiding and abetting.' One of the great dangers of warfare is how it changes the nations involved in it. Never in history has a nation been the same at the end of a conflict as it was at the beginning. So, how is George's War changing us? To continue to refer to it as the Iraq War is a misnomer. It is George's War, pure and simple. He wanted it; he got it, despite any information or advice to the contrary. He steamrolled over any opposition inside or outside the goverment to get what he wanted.

In so doing, he declared this "global war on terror." If we don't fight them in Iraq we'll have to fight them here, blah, blah, blah. The six terrorists arrested for plotting an attack on Ft. Dix is a good case in point. It doesn't really matter when they entered this country, but three of them entered the U.S. VIA THE MEXICAN BORDER. That is so impolite to say, as it might imply that a porous border could be used by terrorists. There is no doubt about it and to pretend otherwise is spitting in the face of the oaths these oafs took to protect the people of the United States.

But I digress. I meant to talk about my own culpability in this. This is hard for me to do as I voted against Bush twice, and for very good reasons as it turned out. Unlike our current president, no one will attribute to me the statement that "the constitution is nothing but a goddamned piece of paper." Nor have I stood in a room full of the richest people in America and declared that the haves and have-mores are my "base." Nor have I rushed through legislation that flies in the face of the very reason our republic was founded and have the gall to refer to it as a "Patriot" act.

Gagging, I turned off the radio. Rush is great if you're bulemic. After the spin and hype and repetition of the Bush non-doctrine, I thought of a pie. A very small slice is quite rich and tasty. But 95% of it tastes like....well....

I thought of calling Rush and reminding him of the old adage: "Don't go stepping in the stuff you're trying to sell us."
