He gets played like a cheap tuba and likes it. He has nothing to lose and no credibility so he is perfect! I agree they may not use him now for one of the many, but for the nominee? I can see Rush enjoying these paydays though, and all the candidates paying him as though it would help! I can’t believe he and all the others aren’t taking payola for what they say on their barkfest over the airwaves.</p> but rush is one of their 10 biggest publicity machines.

Now, that might explain a Mitt/Jeb ticket….via DeVos…as well as the fact that Cofer Black (Blackwater) is Mitt’s advisor.

Scary shizzola people.
