Y'know, watching the all new improved Scotty Show has been quite a treat so far - but most of the really good performances have been coming from Fox News, Dana (Tina Dancer of Fascism) Perino and of course, Comedian Rush Limbaugh.

On today's episode Mr Limpbaugh responds to this mornings interview with Scott McClennan on the Today show, just remember that this is the man that in 2006 admitted that he'd been "carrying water for the Republicans" for years and he wasn't doing it anymore. I guess he got his second wind. Limbaugh, being the singular dipwad that he is, goes far beyond the already standard talking points that Scott is just "Disgrunted", "Chasing a Buck" and that his behavior is "Puzzling".

No, it's much worse than that.

Funny Point Number One after McClennon describes how he thought Bush really meant it when he said he was going to be a "uniter not a divider" Yucks a minute on the one.

Limbaugh: This just Frosts Me. You are using the language of the LEFT! Don't you realize - You DOLT - that your job was to help your President Prevail?

And here most of us thought that the job of people in public service was to serve the needs of THE NATION and to protect and honor THE CONSTITUTION. Silly us.

Then Rush goes on an on and on about how <i>President Bush did so much to reach across the isle by writing legislation with Ted Kennedy</i>.

He went out of his way to bring Democrats into the White House for policy purposes.

That was ONE BILL Rush. One. Uno. Way back in 2001. What's he done for the country, and in concert with Democrats lately? Veto the Childrens Health Care Bill? Threaten to Veto the new G.I. Bill?

How many times did he meet with the Congressional Black Caucus? Was it even once?

This is a President who would never attack Democrats

Except for calling them "Appeasers", "Traitors", "Quitters" and "Defeato-crats".

Funny HA HA Number two: The Plame-gate deal, where Scott laments that both Libby and Rove lied to his face about being involved in the leak.

(Long Sigh) Uh, Scott. National Intelligence Estimate. The PResident does not leak it after he declassifies it. Do you not rememer you idiot, that the drive-by media and the Democrats where clamoring for this?
...

Also this business about Rove and Libby involved, hey Scott have you heard thename "Richard Armitage"? They were not involved in the leak. Scott if you had an gonads you know that what happened to Scooter Libby was one of the major travesties of justice that has occured in our lifetimes.

Ok, here's the interesting thing. Yes, it's true that the President can declassify anything he wants to - anytime he wants to. But contrary to what was discussed on Countdown with McClennan tonight - Valerie Plame's ID was not including in the NIE, according to transcripts of the Libby Trial Her status as an employee at CIA was included in a State Dept INR memo which was generated, in part, by Scooter Libby asking Armitage's deputy Marc Grossman about Joe Wilson's trip. If Scooter hadn't made an issue of it, there wouldn't have been a memo - which was STILL classifed - for him to later leak to Armitage, Rove and others.

Second point, the NIE information that Libby was authorized to give to reporters, something that Richard Cheney's actual press secretary Cathie Martin refused to do, was all bullshit. Libby told Judith Miller that the NIE made an "unequivical case against Saddam and his weapons program" That was a lie. Even the executive summary of NIE didn't make that case, and in the actual classified section was an extensive State and Energy Dept debunking of the aluminum tubes theory. It even posits that the Niger documents that Joe Wilson went to investigate were forgeries! Libby also told Miller that "Wilson's wife works at CIA, and that's why he was sent...", except that he told her that she worked in Non-proliferation when Grossman had told him that she worked for CPD, and that info was confirmed to Libby by Robert Grenier the CIA's top man on Iraq. The difference is crucial - CPD is where the COVERT SPIES WORKED!!

If LIbby had told her WIlson's Wife works for CPD even Thick-as-Rocks-Miller could have figured out that she was probably a covert operative and she was now a participant in Treason.

Libby's meeting with MIller on June 23rd was the FIRST case where classified info on Plame and Wilson went to an unauthorized person. It was the first time her ID was revealed. But it wasn't the last. The only reason Miller didn't reveal the information long before Robert Novak was because the New York Times refused to print the story. And if Karl Rove hadn't confirmed to Novak what Armitage had told him about Plame, he wouldn't have printed it either.

Yes, they were bloody well involved you nipple.

Libby's guilty sentence was perfectly appropriate considering he lied both the FBI and the Grand Jury that he first heard about Plame from Tim Russert, instead of the truth, Dick Cheney told him.

Then there's the Iraq War:

Limbaugh: His book is fiction. President Bush delivered 24 major speeches on Iraq over two years. Congress sited no fewer than 23 reasons when it overwhelmingly gave Bush the right to removed Saddam Hussein

Congress didn't give those reasons, the Iraq Force Resolution was written by the White House and it required the President to verify that there was no chance that "Diplomacy could still work" with Saddam. Bush to this very DAY is still claiming that Saddam wouldn't let the inspectors back in, but he started the War while the inspectors where in the middle of finding and destroying al-Samoud missles that they found - IN IRAQ! They said that Saddam wouldn't come clean because he didn't explain What he Did with Yellowcake Uranium that Joe Wilson couldn't Find - BECAUSE IT WASN'T THERE

Hey Rush, McClennan's not the "DOLT" or the "idiot" here - you are.

Mclellen's just a big poopy head liberal left wing talking point!

Who upheld conservative, right wing Bush agenda talking points for 2 and a half years. God forbid he finally have a mind of his own...

You are being unfair to stinky, oily stains everywhere.

A knee jerk label is hallmark of the right.

But don't worry. I thought of it all by myself!

as long as it is not LEFT? Right Rush? Who is the idiot and always was?

Nothing right about Rush, he needs some serious help.

:thumbsup:

His mother was the mayor of Austin for years. And if we're splitting hairs, that's my contribution.

lol - glad you did.

hmmmm

I work for a living. I don't live on these boards.

All I'm saying is that if you're going to be correcting people, make sure you yourself know what you're talking about. He got it wrong, so did you.

Rush, go take another pill or five.

I'm sure your nerves are quite frayed by now.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

you are nothing but "flummery", to use your word, which isn't even a word.

From the king of mumbo jumbo!

Has the guy ever made an original statement?

And his followers--the dildoheads--God forbid if Limbaugh forgets to tell them to breathe.

Limbaugh has never really done anything for his party, except damage it.
Flailing his arms around in 06 helped Democrats win.
Maybe he's a double agent.

Limbaugh Disease has not done to us what it has done to his followers. Those calling themselves a ditto heads have surrendered their freedom of thought to a fomenting drug addled scumbag.
Most of them listen intently to this moran while operating motor vehicles. They drive among us. Be very afraid, because at some point Rush will tell them that obeying traffic lights is a liberal conspiracy.

I can take at one sitting I heard a most interesting comment. He was speaking about some imaginary insult or something when he made the remark "and this was from MY party". It was a direct reference to his being a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. He is usually careful to expound on his being a conservative not a Republican. I'm sure this is in anticipation of the return to the fairness doctrine where equal time is alloted to opposing political views or parties. This was a major slip for this asshole and I hope he is gone by the middle of 2009.

I would like to see "talk" radio have some responsible commentators that actually fact check their comments with equal time alloted to opposing views and multiple parties, that would be interesting radio.

Limbaugh makes me want to tear my hair out.

I bet Rush had no problem when Morris went turncoat on Bill and Hillary. This is just poetic justice if you ask me! LOL!!!!!!

He's fat and out of shape. He's not on his MEDS. :crazy: :silly:

"First you win, then they fight you, then they ridicule you, then they IGNORE you."

Look's like ol Rush is putting party over country again.

And delusional, and a hypocrite, and I couldn't bear watching/listening to him for more than 2 minutes. I just don't understand how he has as much of a following as he does. I guess there's just a certain percentage of the American population who are living in a fantasy world and will never see the reality of how horrible this republican president/administration/congress/propagandists are and continue to be to this day. Ugh. I feel a little ill....

:shrug:

Scott McClennan has released a new book called "What Happened" about the Administration and so far has caused a firestorm on the Right.

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/05/29/mcclellan-bush-authorized-declassification-of-2002-nie-and-leak-of-valerie-plames-idenity/

On a couple appearances he has posited the idea that Bush himself may have directly involved in the outing of Valerie Plame's identity.

MCCLELLAN: But the other defining moment was in early April 2006, when I learned that the President had secretly declassified the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq for the Vice President and Scooter Libby to anonymously disclose to reporters. And we had been out there talking about how seriously the President took the selective leaking of classified information. And here we were, learning that the President had authorized the very same thing we had criticized.

VIERA: Did you talk to the President and say why are you doing this?

MCCLELLAN: Actually, I did. I talk about the conversation we had. … And I told the President that that’s what the reporter was asking. He was saying that you, yourself, was the one that authorized the leaking of this information. And he said “yeah, I did.” And I was kinda taken aback.

He's also said that the White House deliberately engaged in the promotion of PROPAGANDA rather than honestly informing the public in the day leading up to the Iraq War.

Can't wait to go piss on that fat fucker's grave.

Busted,prosecuted,twice guilty drug addict blows top over the truth whilst delusional right wing radio listeners continue to support him while themselves enjoying a state of permanent psychosis.

One can only hope.

That's what got Limbaugh where he is. If it wasn't for Bill Clinton, Limbaugh would be a nobody. He's languishing now because he has to carry water for Bush. But you can see that he's actively trying to get Hillary the nomination. That may be the only thing that can breathe new life into his stale act. He can get all of the Hillary jokes out of mothballs and he has material for another 8 years. If Obama gets the nomination, then he's just going to look like an old fat racist every time he opens his mike. He's truly a one-trick pony.

Felt that way about Jerry Fallwell. Probably feel the same when Kim jong il dies.....get the idea

What is this "new tone" this junky refers to? Bush worked with Democrats...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. He really is a comedian.

I'm sad that people like that exist. Rush seemed like he was close to crying.
Being that upset is bad for your heart, and by the looks of Rush, he better watch it!

I just couldn't stomach listening to his voice-ahh.

:popcorn: What a piece of work.

What a weenie.

Obama '08

...diatribe was all I could stand....up yours Rush...McClellan's job was to make his president look good? Jesus Christ, that would be Mission Impossible!

why anyone still listens to a man who became addicted to Oxycontin rather than endure a little back pain, has been through three divorces, and was caught with someone else's prescription for Viagra coming back from a country on the sex-tourism circuit. If Limbaugh had worked for "progressive-radio", he would have been fired, ala Randi Rhodes, a long time ago.

Limbaugh's fifteen minutes were over long ago. Long ago.

If you have a point to make, get the name right and spell all your words correctly. Otherwise, you look like you don't know what you're talking about.(especially with spell check) And I'm not talking about typos.

Fuck him.

no longer here or on youtube.
