GM boss to step down at White House request - Autos- msnbc.com

I remember when Rush was proud that US automakers pushed SUV's and Pick Ups with a Republican tax break to purchase. Go ahead, use the Limbaugh strategy to invest your 401k money in. You will loose, big time.



"GM has improved its cars in the last two years, critics say the company relied for too long on sales of pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles for its profits and was unprepared for a drastic market shift when gasoline prices hit $4 per gallon last year."

Geoffrey Dunn: Palin Pallin' Around with Scientologists: Todd & Sarah & John & Greta

I thought these folks had a problem with frivolous lawsuits. Here we have Sarah "the Slaughterers Daughter" Palin cavorting with a tort lawyer, in fact, he is advising her on her possible 2012 run for President.

"Coale has also played a central role in several major class action lawsuits, including those involving tobacco and Ritalin, as well as a suit against the FBI for its role in the Waco massacre. And during her divorce from Michael Jackson, Lisa Marie Presley, yet another prominent damsel in distress, chose Coale as her attorney."

Unwed birth rate reaches all-time high in U.S. - Women's health- msnbc.com

This statistic, reported by the AP from a CDC 2007 study, shows just how ineffective the abstinence program the Bush Administration threw millions at, just to keep the unmoral, no more majority, happy and voting. I guess Rush will blame GWB for all those unwed mothers on welfare now, like he blamed Clinton for an unproven, increase in oral sex.


"Unwed birth rate reaches all-time high in U.S. The birth rate rose slightly for women of all ages, and births to unwed mothers reached an all-time high of about 40 percent, continuing a trend begun years ago. More than three-quarters of these women were 20 or older."

Limbaugh Censorship part II

Lets see how elRushbo makes fun of Rep. Ron Wyden so that his argument goes nowhere. The Limbaugh Censorship Theory works, just listen to his show to see how A - F, will come through. I'm thinking he will start with Wyden's lisp, but that's just me talkin', lets wait tomorrow and see what elRushbo actually says.

Limbaugh Censorship In Action

Laura Ingraham is a wonderful Limbaugh protege. She took Meghan to the woodshed quickly. This is how it works, you make a critical judgment about a Republican (in this case Ann Coultergeist) and one of the following occurs: A)Your physical appearance is attacked B)Your social position is attacked C)Your family is attacked D)Your Occupation is attacked E) You are associated in some manner with someone no matter how remote that has some defect F)All of the above. But you can be sure that the cause of A - F will not be addressed. Witness Laura Ingraham. Megan McMain had the audacity to question whether Ann Coultergeist is pushing the under 35 vote away from the GOP. Instead of a serious debate (the Pubes lost the House and Senate in 2006 and picked up the Presidency and more House and Senate seats in 2008, so it ain't like the question needs to be debated), Laura attacked Meghans weight. Since this little dust up Meghan has canceled further interviews (in particular Howard Kurtz on CNN). I give you the Limbaugh Censorship Theory.

Gary Skoien, Former Cook County GOP Chair, Beaten By Wife After Being Found With Prostitutes: Police Report

Another good Evangelical Conservative Republican bites the dig one.


From the Huffington post "Gary Skoien, Former Cook County GOP Chair, Beaten By Wife After Being Found With Prostitutes: "The former chairman of the Cook County Republican Party denies he was with two prostitutes when his wife allegedly attacked him over the weekend.
Palatine Township GOP committeeman Gary Skoien (SKOY'-ehn) said Wednesday that two female friends were at his Inverness home around 1 a.m. Sunday when his wife assaulted him."

Most religious groups in USA have lost ground, survey finds - USATODAY.com

Well, another indicator of just what the Republican Party of the past 30 years has done to the country. Yes, it has become less religious.



Most religious groups in USA have lost ground, survey finds - USATODAY.com: "The percentage. of people who call themselves in some way Christian has dropped more than 11% in a generation. The faithful have scattered out of their traditional bases: The Bible Belt is less Baptist. The Rust Belt is less Catholic. And everywhere, more people are exploring spiritual frontiers — or falling off the faith map completely."

Not Going All John Galt

Screw that theory, I'm hoping to be way above $250,000 take home and pay the extra 2.5%. I pray it happens.

A New Axis

According to Charles M. Blow of the New York Times

"Who has surfaced as the saviors of the Republican Party? Bobby Jindal, Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh, otherwiseknown as the axis of drivel."

Limbaugh CPAC Quote

I took quote, from Rush, right off the Fox News Website. "Don't measure your success by how many people like you. Just worry about how they vote. And then at the end of the day how they live, but that's really none of your business once they close the doors. Thank you all very much. It's been great."

I have for a time wondered about el rushbo's interests, and I think it is here that we see that maybe he swings both way's. Notice that he claims its no ones business once the door is closed. Hmmmmmm. He has been married numerous times and I've yet to hear one of his exes relate any love lost. May be they have but it sure doesn't get much airtime.

Progressive Republicans?

According to Mike Lux "the Republican Party began as the party of radical reform. In the Big Change Moment of the 1860s, they abolished slavery, passed the three most far reaching progressive constitutional amendments in history outside of the Bill of Rights, made sure the freedoms of the Bill of Rights would be enforced in the states, gave away millions of acres of free land to poor people, started the land grant university system, and passed the nation's first progressive income tax. Although they increasingly became the party of big business in the years afterwards, Teddy Roosevelt brought them back some of their glory by breaking up big corporate trusts, establishing a national parks system, instituting food safety measures for the first time, and establishing other reforms of the progressive era."

The current crop of Republicans don't believe in any of that shit!

Limbaugh's Speech

I think Tom Watson has the best description of Limbaugh I've ever read. Beautiful.


"Looking for all the world like the sweating floor manager on the late afternoon shift at Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in an unbuttoned shiny black shirt and undersized sport coat, Rush Limbaugh leaned his meaty hands on the lectern at the CPAC conference and slipped a greasy dollar bill into the G-string of the writhing conservative dead-enders packed into the garishly lit Omni Shoreham in Washington DC."

And this from David Frum (former speech writer for GWB).


"Rush is to the Republicanism of the 2000s what Jesse Jackson was to the Democratic party in the 1980s."

Why does this not surprise me?


SURVEY: Daily Show/Colbert Viewers Most Knowledgable, Fox News Viewers Rank Lowest "A new study by the Pew Research Study shows that viewers of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report have the highest knowledge of national and international affairs, while Fox News viewers rank nearly dead last:"

Rush and CPAC

I think what may have happened here is that folks in the media no longer fear Rush. He made such an ass of himself that now it is easy for every day, run of the mill, reporters (yes the drive by media)to no longer fear him. He is stupid, he does not believe in the Constitution of the United States of America (he proved that by incorrectly quoting the document he "thrives" on, he wants failure so that his beliefs are a success. I thought that the true measure of success was what Rush so eloquently laid out... it would be successful because it was a good idea, not because someone would make it fail. Did he jump the shark? I guess we will see.

Modern Conservative Mistakes

I thought this quote from Paul Krugman was pretty funny. It actually summed things up quite nicely. Modern Conservatives, that would include Rush Limbaugh, are wrong on just about everything.



“Reforms have made Iceland a Nordic tiger,” declared a paper from the Cato Institute. “How Ireland Became the Celtic Tiger” was the title of one Heritage Foundation article; “The Estonian Economic Miracle” was the title of another. All three nations are in deep crisis now."

Limbaugh Screws up the Declaration of Independence

You may remember when Sean Hannity first started his own program he would go out and ask high school kids to recite the preamble to the Constitution, of course they would get it wrong and Sean would go on a rant about socialistic education or some such shit. Well, what is Sean going to say about this. Here is Rush "$30 million a year" Limbaugh confusing the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence. Daily this guy goes on about the Constitution and his love for the document, you would think he knows what it says. But he doesn't, he doesn't even care what is in it.


"We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness." Rush Limbaugh 2/28/2009

Balloon Juice

Now thats a hell of a quote.


Balloon Juice: "Hammel said, “I would rather pay a little higher tax on a higher profit than a lower tax rate on lower profits.“"

Rush Limbaugh

Rush is the GOP and they should be loud and proud about it. Shout it from the roof tops.

According to Larry "what housing bubble" Kudlow. No, you should apologize, and help steer the country past what the last 25 years has turned into.

Are these the folks behind Rick Santelli's "rant". Maybe all this was planned and CNBC is as big a scammer as Bernie Madoff. The "Tea Party" stuff was coordinated with Santelli and CNBC by these folks (also the money behind CATO and a whole bunch of other right wing organizations). These "grass roots" organizations are really just astro turf... you know, fake.


Koch Industries - SourceWatch: "Koch Industries is the single largest oil company contributor to both Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress."

Think Progress » Limbaugh Defends Jindal, Warns Conservatives They Are ‘Making A Real Mistake If They Go After’ Him

Yep, he is the real deal. A liar. But that's what you have to be to get praise from Limbaugh, because that's what he is, a liar. Bobbies little anecdote about the sheriff turns out to be a lie.



Think Progress » Limbaugh Defends Jindal, Warns Conservatives They Are ‘Making A Real Mistake If They Go After’ Him: "LIMBAUGH: [T]he people on our side are really making a mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal on the basis of style. Because if you think — people on our side I’m talking to you — those of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think — in fact, I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again. … I’ve spoken to him numerous times, he’s brilliant. He’s the real deal."
