This is a very good definition of neo-cons. Sums up Rush and the rest of the cheerleaders accurately.
James Warren: This Week in Magazines -- Middle East Mayhem, Gagging Conservatives and Vicki Iseman's Side: "'In French slang, the word con means jackass or imbecilic wuss. So when the néo-cons---the néo-cons as the French read the term---went ahead with the ill-considered invasion and imperialist occupation of Iraq, the French thought that this was just the sort of thing that néo-cons---incompetent fools, milksop morons---would do.'"

Is Obama relying too much on tax cuts? - Paul Krugman Blog - NYTimes.com
They just want Obama to fail. Whats wrong with that?
Is Obama relying too much on tax cuts? - Paul Krugman Blog - NYTimes.com: "Look, Republicans are not going to come on board. Make 40% of the package tax cuts, they’ll demand 100%. Then they’ll start the thing about how you can’t cut taxes on people who don’t pay taxes (with only income taxes counting, of course) and demand that the plan focus on the affluent. Then they’ll demand cuts in corporate taxes. And Mitch McConnell is already saying that state and local governments should get loans, not aid — which would undermine that part of the plan, too."

Bill "Chicken Hawk" O'Reilly
I just listened to Bill O'Reilly say he did not join the military because the Vietnam war was winding down and he had a prospective teaching job in Florida. This is typical chicken hawk self assessment. He was born in September 1949, and would have been in prime bullet catching age during the Tet Offensive, 19 years old. I can't imagine anybody watching this guy or buying a book written by him, knowing that he, basically, is a chicken shit liar. Lets say it again, a chicken shit liar. He just lied on national TV about how old he was during a conflict that he was old enough to fight in and chose instead to avoid military service. This has been the true measure of today's "conservative" Republican. Not everyone is suited for military service but it is a bit disconcerting that the following folks were eligible and are very vocal about using American military might to solve problems that they didn't feel they needed to participate in.
Rush Limbaugh
George Will
Brit Hume
Tom Delay
Sean Hannity
Neil Boortz
Rudy Jiuliani
Jeb Bush
Karl Rove
Newt (need I say his last name)
Phil Graham
Christopher Cox (Head of the SEC)
Paul Wolfowitz
Richard Perle
Doug Feith
Michael Savage
Pat Robertson
Bill Kristol
Kenneth Starr
Charlie Daniels
Ted Nugent
Toby Keith
Wayne LaPierre (my favorite NRA guy)
It goes on and on. People that support U. S. military intervention with no regard to what happens to the folks that actually have to do the fighting. Fighting, a word the above listed have no idea of. These guys would let their wives do it for them.

CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names
I can't stop. These guys are good. How many times have you read anything about this. How many times did the so calleded liberal media talk up the fact that Laura Bush was in an at fault accident in which a 17 year old was killed due to the fact she ran a red light. Good God, if Michelle Obama had bumped into an old white guy at the supermarket with a shopping cart Rush and Sean and all of the right wing echo chamber would be talking about it non-stop 24-7. Tell me again about the liberal media.
want drowsy Sarah Palin getting that 3am phone call from the Situation Room, in charming décolleté, her hair down, snuggled under the soft mounds of grizzly pelt? Or you want Joe Biden, still talking even in his sleep? Who would not wish to take off Sarah’s spectacles and liberate those rich, heaped-up tresses? It’s that librarian look so reminiscent of Laura Bush in happier days, back among the stacks in the Midland Public Library which I made visited in 2001, mostly to view the crossroads where 17-year Laura broadsided her boyfriend in that so-tragic “accident”. (The police report says that Laura ran a stop sign in her Chevy and struck the Corvair of 17-year old Michael Douglas. He was thrown from the car and broke his neck. Some accounts have claimed Michael and Laura had been dating. Laura was with a 17-year old girl friend at the time. It was a clear night, with unobstructed views, shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 1963. )"

Tim Russert. Just another Republican water carrier...just like Rush and Sean. Tell me again about the liberal drive by media.
CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names: "The tv carried live shots of Russert's coffin. He was lying in state and the mourners could pass by and merely touch the edge of his coffin for a cure, or hope for cure. There’s been nothing more grotesque since Reagan's funeral; this, after seven years of craven, culpable journalism across the mainstream board. No one at this point is remembering the reporters at Knight Ridder, who were among the few in the mainstream pre-war to hammer away at the WMD argument. Russert’s colleague-survivors need him as a saint."

Here is something for Rush to chew on...he carried tons of water for something Bill Clinton wanted. Son of a gun!
CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names: "The prophets are discredited because their cause has failed. The conservative movement has splintered, victim of lethal saber slashes from the neocons, who plunged the country into an unpopular and hopeless war; from George Bush, who rewarded the conservatives with the No Child Left Behind Act and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit, both of which could have been put forward by Bill and Hillary Clinton."

This was the landscape back in February 2008. Rush went from pushing the flip flopping Mittster to pleading for the ditto heads to cross over, in open primary states, and vote for Hillary. His hope was to foment riots at the Democratic convention in Denver. A true American patriot...yea, bull shit.
CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names: "But if Hillary’s in bad trouble, the Hillary-haters are in even worse shape. The conservative movement is finished. Rush Limbaugh, is flaming out, like the zeppelin Hindenberg. For years now the liberals have loved to tremble at Limbaugh’s malignant powers. But it turns out Rush couldn’t get a dog-catcher elected. For months he’s urged the dittoheads to rally to a true conservative. He’s worn himself hoarse denouncing McCain as a traitor to the cause. With each daily dose of raillery from Limbaugh McCain’s cause flourished."
