Rush Accuses Fox of "Slobbering" Over Obama's Speech...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/14/rush-limbaugh-rips-fox-ne_n_808994.html

A feud has broken out between Rush Limbaugh and the so-called "All Star Panel" on Fox News' "Special Report" over the panel's praise for President Obama's speech at the memorial for the Arizona shooting victims. Speaking on his radio show Thursday, Limbaugh slammed the panelists--which, on the night of the speech, were Brit Hume, Charles Krauthammer and Chris Wallace--for their positive comments.

"They were slobbering over it for the predictable reasons," he said. "It was smart, it was articulate, it was oratorical. It was, it was all the things the educated, ruling class wants their members to be and sound like."

On Thursday night's "Special Report," host Bret Baier played the Limbaugh clip and asked Krauthammer--who had called the speech "quite remarkable and extremely effective"--for his reaction.

"As one of the three slobberers...I find it interesting that only the ruling class wants a president who is smart articulate and oratorical in delivering a funeral oration," Krauthammer said. "It's an odd and rather condescending view of what the rest of America is looking for in their president.

5. WAIT, what's wrong with wanting our politicians to be smart, articulate, and oratorical
People talking like being educated is a bad thing makes me want to cry.

10. If saying "newkewler" or "pundint" is the mark of a Great Leader,
I must have picked up the wrong political philosophy somewhere.

Here I thought the teabaggers' use of "the elite" referred to the dominant Rich Old White Guys and banksters, but the baggers are apparently afraid of anyone who practices standard English?

6. Heh. I guess they can only keep up the "Everything Obama Does Is Bad" show
for so long before wiping out what's left of their journalist creds. Rush doesn't have to worry about that, he has none--he's an entertainer. He's allowed to be a cartoon.

9. I accuse Rush of slobbering over young Dominican boys
Why were you in the Dominican Republic with 4 other men, and a bottle full of viagra, Rush? Why won't you answer that question?

15. Rush's criticism: the speech was articulate. Not surprising for a Palin worshipper.

You know how sometimes you think you wiped as well as you could, but invariably go to take a shower and see something you missed?

We totally missed Rush. Time wipe a little better America. We have to clean ourselves of this guy.

20. Oh Noes!!! Fox practiced genuine journalism for 5 minutes!
Place your bets as to when they bow down to kiss Don Limbaugh on the ring.

21. Any fellow RW pundit who utters a word that could be construed as positive feedback
towards President Obama (likely even if just adding Obama's title as POTUS) will earn the condemning wrath of Flush Windbag, since Flush has stated that wanted him to fail, ever since President Obama won the '08 election.

23. Krauthammer is as stupid as he is wrong (which is most of the time)
HOWEVER up against a lightweight like Limptoast, he is a cat5 hurricane that will destroy Gush if he desides to pursue this issue longterm.
