3. Most calls on CSPAN were regarding
Special Prosecutor for Traitorgate. Most of the calls I heard were in favor :)

10. It's Not A Distraction, At All
It's a reinforcement. One of their principle, and best known, mouthpieces has just had his credibility shredded to the vast middle.

He had absolute credibility on the cretin side of the aisle. He had none in our circles. But, large portions of middle america, although they didn't listen to him in large numbers, figured he had a valid POV. This should do some serious damage to his credibility outside of his core audience.

So, since he's been a staunch defender of the Bushies, this credibility gap reinforces, not distracts from, the fact that something stinks at 1600 Pennsylvania.

12. Good Point
I was thinking about the media going off on a celeb feeding frenzy. But you are right, this does hurt the repubs with those non-dittoheads who listen to Rush cause "he's funny" or to see another POV.

14. Exactly! He's been effectively neutralized and it couldn't have
happened at a better time! Makes ya wonder...It seems many key players are being systmatically neutralized. I started another thread about it:

8. Woman who has listened to Rush
for 13 years: We're trying to ruin Rush just like we did with Savage. Bwahahaha!!! They are Bush supporters and we are destroying them just to get to Bush

Her and her husband take their radio to a restaurant for lunch (I'd leave the restaurant if I was forced to be subjected to that) and she's NEVER heard Rush say anything that was racist. LOL!

She ended by saying, "Thank God for Rush." I wonder what she's going to do when his drug scandal really hits the media? How is she going to twist it so the liberals are responsible for him popping pills every day?

9. If she's so far gone that she would bring a radio into a
restaurant to listen to that asshole then what is the likelihood that anything could wake her up. There could be videotape of Rush snorting coke off the ass of an 8-year-old boy he had just raped in a church and it wouldn't make a damn difference to the people that listen to him. Just imagine how fucking dumb you'd have to be to actually respect his opinion - do you really think someone that dumb is capable of logic?

13. She also said "she wasn't able to cook."
So, that's why they go out. Now I'm not criticizing disabled people, but I doubt that she is. She is a lazy ass from my spouse's hometown (Cincinnati) where white people absolutely HATE black people.

3 hours a day of Rush is Rot for 13 years (since she was 60)...that is probably why she doesn't have the brain function to make a sandwich or heat up a can of soup at home.

:grr:
