I’m glad there will be a transcript of Rove & Mier’s testimony. Should be very telling, especially when they invoke ’executive privilege’ non-stop.

I’m expecting them to do that in a sort of blanket way at the outset or at least claim to not waive it or something. I also expect Rove to go on FOX that same night and get an on-air hummer from Hannity.

The GOP pie fights over Rushbo? All the Democrats’ fault.

I hope it is the more we fight with Rush the more media attention the fight gets.
The more we fight with Rush the angrier he gets. The angrier Rush gets the more he says outrageous stuff that offends every group except White Males.
The more Rush offends people the more he motivates our side! The more he pushes Moderate Voters away from the GOP.
This is possible the most brilliant political strategy I have ever seen.
Its all win win for us!

Does anyone know if Rush Limbaugh has consummated a sexual relationship with his current girlfriend? Rush’s ex-wife said he’s a closeted gay man and rarely had sex with her. Then I read this about “Jeff Christie” and it appears that there could be some truth to “I hate women!” Ass Limbo being closeted:

http://pssht.com/biography/rush_limbaugh.html

You can listen to “Jeff Christie” here on his show back in 1970’s:

He dooooooes sound kind of lispy (not that that is a sure sign, but man! Sometimes it is a dead giveaway!). LOL

For all the night owls here there’s a new radical, and I do mean radical, show on da radio from 1-4am Tuesday mornings. For the non-night owls you can listen to the archive for a week. Overnight Underground. The link says Marinade but that’s the show OU replaced 2 weeks ago and they haven’t updated the page but the “Listen Again” link is OU. One of the hosts is Rev Bruce Wright, founder and head of The Refuge, a homeless program here in St Pete. I’ll have to ask Bruce who Heidi is.

He does enjoy a ‘cigar’ a little too much doesn’t he? Holy cow. Honestly, I don’t care if Rush is gay or not, but since he’s currently on this quest to prove that he is more honest than the whole entire Democratic Party combined, he needs to address this issue once and for all. Of course, he’s a big strong neocon and will have no problem in doing this at all! Right, Rush? Bah hahahahahahaha!

Okay, on that note…..going to work with the rest of the schmucks who pay taxes so the uber wealthy doesn’t have to!

So lets see McCain lost because he was not conservative enough. If Sarah loses is it because she is not hot enough?
Will Lily Allen be the Next GOP Top Model VP then? With her I could see men paying attention to her looks.

Yeah. If Rush is gay, I won’t consider him any more or less an asshole. It’s make a difference in that i’d be curious to see how his “20 million” listeners react? Would he still be “the voice of the GOP”? Will Michael Steele and all the rest who have been sucking him realize why he enjoyed it so much? Will Ann Coulter tell a joke about him going to the alternative prom?

From Attaturk this morning

This early morning I could write about Rush Limbaugh again but those insurance companies that are not insolvent have mortality tables which say it’s likely we’ve got another 4 years, 1 month to make fun of Rush Limbaugh.

You know the GOP will blame Obama if Rush has a heart attack and dies even if the Doctor says that Rush’s blood type was McDonalds Special sauce.
I am not sure what are public reaction should be?
I’m sorry he’s dead (inside voice I bought that sniper rifle for nothing)
Rush brought it on himself fat drug users don’t live that long normally.
Whoopee! I’m buyin!

Mine, too. Some folks really don’t like or trust him. But seems to me he’s trying to do the right thing. Likely that will bring criticism that he’s a self-promoting opportunist. Urgh. Where is the line between getting out there in a big way and promoting self?

On a serious note, some of Gandhi’s belongings are scheduled to be auctioned in New York.

An auction of several of Mahatma Gandhi’s belongings –
including his famous metal-rimmed glasses — is scheduled to take place
Thursday despite the objections of India’s government.

New Delhi rejected an offer by the collector, James Otis, who had asked
the Indian government to expand its spending on the poor in exchange for the
items.

From CNN.com. You have to scroll down for the piece.

I’d like to know how this guy got Gandhi’s stuff to begin with.

Rush and his

that Marta agreed to avoid
disclosing Rush’s closeted
homosexuality, or penchant
for child pornography, in
exchange for a hefty divorce
settlement.

US Dollar’s temporary strength explained:

Europe’s banks face a shortage of $2 trillion US dollars

With all other currencies under pressure, holders of those currencies turned to gold to keep pace with the dollar. Gold is at all time highs in all currencies except the dollar. With everyone herded into US Treasuries and US Dollars, what stunt will the globalist banksters pull to cause the greatest possible damage, enriching themselves in the process?

Refreshing to see this kind of thinking going mainstream in real time. Unfortunately, part of the gloomy message is that it might be too late.

From “Confusion, Tunnelling, and Looting” by Simon Johnson, a former IMF economist:

Boris Fyodorov, the late Russian Minister of Finance who struggled for many years against corruption and the abuse of authority, could be blunt. Confusion helps the powerful, he argued. When there are complicated government bailout schemes, multiple exchange rates, or high inflation, it is very hard to keep track of market prices and to protect the value of firms. The result, if taken to an extreme, is looting: the collapse of banks, industrial firms, and other entities because the insiders take the money (or other valuables) and run.

This is the prospect now faced by the United States.

From there, Johnson delineates some of the clear signs of policy confusion which, bear in mind, is a form of confusion of purpose.

Blecch!
