Does the phrase “Mean-spirited” have any application here?

No, no, it was just friendly teasing. It’s Rush’s way of showing how much he likes Obama.

Rush ain’t worth the dynamite ta blow his fat ass ta hell!

Eli!

Digg this classy post if you please.

Eg!

Hi Eli.

Sorry Eli. OT – on Moyers tonight: `Beyond Our Differences” investigates the common threads which unify the world’s religious traditions.

As you were.

Yeah we’ve seen where their light-hearted politics have taken us over the last few years. Guess somebody’s makin money, laughing at the rest of us.

So, which end of Rush is that in the photo?

I don’t mind fools laughing at me. Makes ‘em even more foolish methinks.

Rush Limbaugh is the number one, iron-clad, sure-fire reason why legislation for ‘the fairness doctrine’ has got to be a priority next year. Period.

I was gonna say sumthin’ pretty gross about the pic but common sense got the better of me. Damn.

Aloha, Eli! I certainly like KO’s appellation for Rushbo… ‘Comedian Rush Limpballs…’ Okay, so I added that last part…! ;-)

You’d have gotten more bang for yer buck if you’d left the confession off.

How do you spell racism == RNC with a side of Rush?

I was gonna say sumthin’ pretty gross about the pic but common sense got the better of me. Damn.

Sort of like:
Is that a cigar or are you just happy to hear yourself talk?

Southern, Welcome back at the end of your day ;)

Oh go ahead…nothing you can say is grosser that than picture. Almost makes me believe in censorship. I vote almost #1 the worst, stupidest thing on TV was Barbara Walters having him on her interesting people show…..to each his own, said the ol’ woman as she kissed the cow. Gag. Most interesting….And I used to like Barbara

YouTube of “Barack the Magic Negro.” The very best of Republican humor.

Not even close.

nothing you can say is grosser that than picture

Don’t put any money on that. I’m a sailor, remember?

I am so not gonna watch that.

You think Rush should change is moniker to “Scatman?”

Good thing FDL has strong moderators. We could get ourselves into a ton of trouble otherwise.

Works for me.

Good choice.

If I ever sat down and wrote the great American novel the editors would cut half of it out.

We can even get away with that here. Maybe. *evil laugh*

I think that RNC members have the good humor and good sense to recognize that his songs for the Rush Limbaugh show are light-hearted political parodies,” Saltsman said.

When I think of the RNC, this is the first thing that comes to mind. Their sense of humor and their good sense and Creationism and taking back the Panama Canal by force.

Heh, so sue me…!

Speaking of the RNC… I loved this dissection of a letter Robert M. (Mike) Duncan, RNC chairman sent out to the party faithful…

One Leg Raised on the Bush-Cheney Legacy: Deconstructing the Spin and Propaganda

The chairman of the Republican National Committee may have begun an irreversible descent into a future as a fear-bound paranoid victim of functional amnesia, possibly caused by a hysterical post-traumatic event such as the overwhelming victory of Democrats in the 2008 election and the nation’s repudiation of Republican policies.

In a two-page vitriol-loaded letter dated “Friday morning”–he apparently was unable to remember the exact date–Robert M. (Mike) Duncan, RNC chairman, told Americans that the Democrats plan to “impose their radical leftist agenda on America,” and that Republicans “must work vigilantly to guard our country’s freedoms from the inevitable assault [by Democrats] they will face.” He didn’t mention that not one of Barack Obama’s proposed cabinet members nor any of the members of the current Congress is a “radical leftist.”

It’s really sad that Mike forgot that fear-mongering, obstruction of justice, reduction of public information, distrust and resentment of the worker, and curtailment of civil liberties–with the complicity of millions of Americans and much of the Democratic leadership who willingly crumpled under unremitting Neocon assaults–have been the base of the Bush-Cheney Administration and a Republican-dominated Congress for most of the past eight years. Perhaps I can shock what little memory Mike may have left in the hope that some of his brain cells may once again function.

Well worth the read…! ;-)

No money, but he is the grossest thing that ever comes on my radio…and that pic makes me wretch. But, I’ll take you at your word.

Moyers’ journal tonight is a fairly comparative religion piece…Ghandi, King, liberation, peace…etc.

OT: In a poll asking Americans which women they admire most, Michelle Obama finished fifth, trailing Sarah Palin and Condoleezza Rice.

I can understand that there are misguided souls who admire Palin but Rice has been such an unqualified failure as NSA and Secretary of State it is hard to imagine how she made the list.

Oh, good. I was hoping it was more than a primer for the unwashed masses. On second thought, it is, isn’t it? Duh.

Coming from USAToday, bird cage fodder.

My bird demands a better target.

Voices for peace, and not returning violence for violence. When will we ever learn?

Did you see Greenwald on Moyers? Great show.

I really liked the paper when it first came out. Didn’t take it long to drink the Kool-Aid though. Has a great baseball section or used to.

My favourite Gandhi quote:

I will believe violence will overcome violence when you can convince me that darkness will overcome darkness.

Great….I hope it gets something started. Moyers is fearless, isn’t he?

I’ve trained my bird to unload over pictures of prominent conservatives. Well, truthfully if is more a result of strategic newspaper positioning.

And they showed his quote that there are things I will die for, but no cause I will kill for. God Bless.

My budgie has one favourite spot on a perch. Makes quite the little pyramid. I use a litter type stuff made from corn cobs.

Blessed are the peacemakers, or more accurately, martyrs for peace.

I’ve been convinced for years that Gannett has purposefully dumbed down their dailies around the country in order to do what they could to make USAToday seem like a shining journalistic endeavor in comparison.

I want somebody to produce My Name is Rachel Corey in our country.

I used to use cobbits for my cockatiel. My conure is a little too prolific, so I layer newspapers. Each day I remove the top layer so he can have a fresh start.

Heh, litter could get expensive.

So Rush is back on the oxy, eh….? Thought I saw him a few weeks back behind the new Target in Wasilla.

And we’ve come full circle.

I read somewhere that an adult Canadian goose outputs an average of two pounds a day. Easy to see how a flock could quickly transform the pH of a pond.

I want somebody to produce My Name is Rachel Corey in our country.

I’m working with a young actress (from Wasilla, BTW) in Anchorage, who could do the play. Perhaps not as well as Megan Dobbs, but in her own way. She looks a lot more like Corrie than Dobbs did when she performed it.

The play has been done twice now in the USA. Once in NYC, and once in Seattle. One of fdl’s lurking mods worked on the Seattle production IIRC.

With Madeline Kahn!!!! Thanks.

Who could have guessed that a picture of Rush might inspire one to contemplate animal droppings?

Thanks. I didn’t know it had been put on. I’ll have to do a little research.

I would love to strategically place that cigar somewhere. Second thought the asshole would probably like it….

The Moyers’ piece is called “Beyond our Differences.” Good photography, message, etc.

And not be discussing good places to find shrooms.

Thanks for the reminder. I’d have sat here right through it. Later.

Several pertinent vids listed at youtube.

It’s one of the best one-person scripts in the past 20 years. I’m hoping this young actress will be able to do it. She has had the script since just before Thanksgiving, but finished performing in another play less than two weeks ago.

I was thinking about it earlier today, reading news accounts about the impending escalation of the tragedy of Gaza.

ET – get a video, we’ll publish it here.

It is sad that Katherine Viner and Alan Rickman have been hesitant to make a video or short movie of the play. I’m not sure why. I know the Corrie family has expressed interest in a film version of the play.

I watched the News Hour on PBS earlier. They reported Israel’s allowing delivery of humanitarian aid while raising the possibility of military action to stop the rocket attacks as if the former wasn’t deliberately setting the stage for the latter.

Give it 6 months, MO will be number one and SP but a fading memory…

This blog is becoming useless to me. Almost every time it finishes loading a post and responses it erases that and puts up a video ad of some kind. It’s not a feature, it’s a bug.

PBS, carrying water for the right wing as usual.

U.S. news organizations will never depict Israeli aggression against Palestinians as anything other than a reluctant response to incessant provocation.

Rush Limbaugh is obviously getting far, far too much pleasure and satisfaction from that cigar in his mouth.

Freud is said to have said, “sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.”

In this case, I don’t think so.

Sung to the tune of “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer”
“Rushie, the doped up fat boy…”

Had a very tiny……….. pill *cough*

“..and if you ever saw it, you would say it hardly shows…”

When will the people of this country see the republicans for what they are. Their views of people, ideaolog, and thoughts on law and country and the way they treat all of them are a disgrace. Yet they never have trouble finding a forum to spout their thoughts no matter how vile.

Excuse me but I happen to have a dog in this fight.

Make that TWO dogs.

Oh hell, IT’S A LITTER!
