I have my Leaf pre-ordered and I feel very, very smug. Pissing off Limbaugh is icing on the cake.

The $7,500 tax credit is nothing compared to the $100,000 tax credit that the Bush junta was giving in tax credits for Hummers.

Oxy Boy never seemed to mind that tax credit. Good point. I’m interested to hear more about the Leaf, haven’t seen one. With the Volt I’m thinking that the next iteration of this concept will be the big hit, but it could really take off if they get the pricing down eventually.

Rushbo’s still angree GM didn’t die.

One thing to never forget is that this pig plays the part of a pissed-off white working-class loser who’s resentful of anyone who makes any money or puts on airs and is easily duped into thinking that some vaguely-defined evil foreign thing (Socialism? Nazis? Fascism? The opposite of Fascism? Some religion that’s trying to take you over? Not enough religion?) is to blame for his losership. It’s not who he actually is.

The actual Rush Limbaugh lives in Versailles-style luxury, until recently in Manhattan, and pals around with Elton John. He may also be an actual bigot but all we really know is that he found a way to make millions and millions of dollars playing a character who doesn’t exist and he doesn’t give the slightest shit what it does to the country.

Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks and Herbert today. In “Sin and Taxes” Bobo says for all of Washington’s talk, we are not on the verge of a budget breakthrough if a political strategy remains elusive. It’s beginning to sound like Bobo’s got a bit of buyer’s remorse… Mr. Herbert, in “A Gift From Long Ago,” says we would do well to pay renewed attention to the lofty ideals of a president elected 50 years ago this month.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got a variety of bagels with cream cheese. Rush is beneath contempt, which goes without saying. David Pogue of the NYT got to drive the Volt and seems to be a fan. I’m off to put up the cranberry sauce I made last night now that it’s cooled enough. (That stuff is like lava and stays hot for a loooong time.) Have a great day.

“Folks, of all the cars, no offense, General Motors, please, but of all the cars in the world, the Chevrolet Volt is the Car of the Year? Motor Trend magazine, that’s the end of them.”

lymphnodes has been railing against anything green since carter, he almost single handedly had reagan take down the solar collectors on top the white house

if it’s green lymphnodes has something ridiculous to say about it

…in the most tragic version of a Sitcom plot…

Thanks, Attaturk.

Good morning pups.

I decided this morning that rush is no worse than Morning Joe, hannity, o’riley or even bob shitter, david greagory et al. There is very little truth told on teebee or radio these days.

The bubblehead on Morning Not Joe (he shows up not so often) was going on and on about how Obama was unfriendly toward business.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Which would make me ask:

Specially what would “Friendly to business be”?

I suppose it would be allowing them to write legislation favorable to them, not pay taxes, offshore jobs, decrease wages and benefits for the few workers they do keep….. oh, wait. Never mind.

Trade Afghanistan to the ISI for Osama, Zawahiri, and a player to be named later and GTFO.

That MT editorial is the best thing I’ve read in a long time. Makes me want to go out and buy a volt.

So in one fell swoop Motor Trend names Car of the Year… and Dunce of the Year.

Regarding the update, this is just further proof that the extraordinarily expense spy agencies led by America are profoundly incompetent on the face. Deep down it’s a matter of not caring. Killing people in other countries is all their after. Of course, the president has given himself explicit authority to kill American citizens suspected of being against America’s freedoms. Correction, dumbasses.

That does not speak well AT ALL of Sir Elton.

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III came from money and has never had to seriously work a day in his life, having been on the wingnut-welfare dole line for decades.

It seems to me that Limpdick uses Archie Bunker as his guide for his behavior. Except Archie Bunker, a character played by Carroll O’Conner on a the “All in the Family” sitcom, had quite a lot of human decency, despite his racism, sexism, xenophobic nature. In point of fact, Archie was pretty much a sweetie-pie under his irrascible and negative exterior.

Limpdick?? Who knows what he’s like when not “playing the part” of angry, incredibly victimized white guy?? I doubt, though, that Limpdick could be the “nicer guy” that Archie was; hard to imagine anyway.

This rant is typical Limpdick doucebaggery at is worst… Limpdick cannot stand it that one of Obama’s programs sort of worked. The effrontery of Limpdick being contradicted – and by a nasty Kenyan NaziSocialist at that – is almost more than douchey Limpdick can bear…. which kinda sorta makes me smile… heh.

Rush is just pissed because he probably couldn’t shoe-horn hit fat ass into one. Plus, he needs a U-Haul to tote his over-blown ego around.

Fuck him. Hope that piece of shit Limpbone gets ~~~Edited by Mdoerator. Not even as rhetoric, FDL does not condone any suggestions of violence against others~~~. This world would be a much nicer place to live in if certain people weren’t in it.

It’s worth noting, FWIW, that GM lied repeatedly about the Volt being all-electric. And when we put the Volt and the Leaf together, let’s remember that one is electric and one is a hybrid–they aren’t the same. Having said that, any move towards fuel efficiency and away from Guzzlerama is a good thing.
