So, I listened to Rush today for about 1/2 hour - (You're gonna love it)
But, before you have me committed, let me explain why. Phoenix hasn't had progressive talk radio for about 2 months now, so I was in my car skimming the AM in hopes to find some sanity...instead I found Piggo.


Here's some highlights -

He was saying that the liberals are afraid of him and of Sarah Palin.



And he is screaming that the Repug party is NOT a big tent.
He was saying that Kemp was wrong (nothing like trashing one of your own immediately after he passes away) and he was saying that just like when Reagan was President, people came to him....people are going to start to come to back to them.

They are going to cater to their base, and this "listening tour" has got to stop.


:rofl: :rofl:

With this idiot as their leader, I say we'll have no problems in 2010.


:fistbump:

23. With sincere apologies to skin everywhere!
But I think what I'm really hoping is that he reigns on, leading his troops straight over the side of the cliff! Whatever hurts their cause and makes them look bad - I'm all for! What's bad for them is good for all the rest of us.

You go ahead, rushie dear! Keep stirring up that steadily dwindling band of dittomorons.

25. Couldn't happen to a "nicer" guy.
He's preaching to a shrinking fan base. I guess THEY are the new "Coalition of the Wilting."

7. I don't know - but after listening to him, I bet Palin is only in that group
to stir up trouble.

Rush definitely does not want any part of that group.

15. They went broke.
And then Mike Newcomb was going to take over, but it never happened.

It is just insane that they can't get funding.

16. I heard the fat fool
and broke out laughing. They are seriously deluded. He wants to run all the moderates out of the party. "Good riddance".

Earlier, Fred Gandy was on his show making the case that Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham and Levine need to take one for the party by running for office. They are the leaders of the party.

:rofl:

17. I am SO happy that Rush has become the spokesperson for the GOP
How ironic that the GOP is now on the receiving end of the "Rush" effect.

27. Speaking of Sarah Palin, according to a recent Hays poll,
her combined approval in Alaska is down to 54% and her combined disapproval is 41.7 percent. 30 percent of her former fans no longer think she's cool, so we're making progress. Shannyn Moore has a good blog entry here http://shannynmoore.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/palin-popularity-plunging-in-polls/

28. I had a wingnut friend of mine accuse "us liberals" of being scared of Rush..
.... to which I responded "So then run him against Obama! I triple-dawg dare ya! WE WOULD LOVE THAT!!!"

And that response confused her and she walked away.

29. Rush and Palin richly deserve each other.
If they continue to hitch themselves to each other's stars, we are guaranteed laughs for years to come.

So everybody act scared. :rofl:
