Wish me luck.
I haven't listened to Rush Limbaugh or Hannity for over five or six years but I'm curious what the "Bush can do no wrong", RW radio hosts have been saying about the UAE ports deal.
Hopefully that will be discussed and not too much else as that's my sole purpose of even listening.

2. I listen to Hannity on the way home from work, mainly
because the station that his show is on is the only one with the traffic reports. And, believe it or not, he is 100% against the port deal.

5. 6 minutes into the program and Rush is discussing the deal

I guess the UAE is planning economic retaliation if the deal gets blocked. I'm really surprised that Hannity is against something the Bush administration is for except for maybe to keep his ratings as a majority of Americans are against it.

6. Please, Please DaveTheWave don't be a hero!!!
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 12:15 PM by MadMaddie
Come home safe to DU!!

(Based on Billy Don't Be a Hero is a 1974 anti-war pop song by Paper Lace and was also recorded by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods.)

<snip>
Billy, don't be a hero! Don't be a fool with your life!
"Billy, don't be a hero! Come back and make me your wife!"
And as they started to go, she cried, "Keep your pretty head low!
"Billy, don't be a hero! Come back to me!"
<snip>

Your ears may never be the same again!!! Delouse when you return because the stench I hear is unbearable!!

7. Rush thinks it's a good thing.
Although I can't follow his logic as to why. Main point is that Bush* is totally honest and trustworthy.:puke:

Rush claimed that he had seen the details sometime early last week. I then read an article that said that no one in Congress had been given a chance to see the details. Man does that guy have connections!

11. I'm done and I'm fine. Thanks for the support and there is good news
Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 01:43 PM by DaveTheWave
I think Rush's new priority is not preaching right wing propaganda but instead making his show primarily an infomercial to sign up or subscribe to his website.

Out of the 1.5 hours I listened it was:

15 minutes on the ports deal.

30 minutes of local news and commercials.

10 minutes of staged phone calls.

And all the remainder spent telling people to sign up for the website and why they should sign up for it. Give someone a gift subscription, etc.
