Anyone listen to Rush today ?
His stand-in was talking about how the jobs market will pickup now that the economy has turned around. The callers weren't buying his shit. Then a disabled vet called in and talked about how Bush is taxing disabled vets. The call screeners must be on vacation with Rush. There seemed to be alot of anger being directed toward the * economy. I was overjoyed.

1. Please don't be offended - but WHY would anybody want to?
And even if they wanted to, at least from here, how could they stand it?

I salute those of us who have the stamina and fortitude to do so. I rather value my low blood pressure and would prefer to keep it that way.

Again, no offense meant! Except to Rush.

8. I was in a company car and turned on the radio
I didn't recognize the voice (Rush was off) and by the time I realized it was RLS I was hooked by the Bush bashing.

2. Well, I used to listen to pigboy to know my enemy
But my stomach couldn't take it anymore. Besides, I figure with enemies as shallow as boilbutt, there's no need for intellectual preparation.

7. Real issue here!
Me too. Can't hardly stand it. But I make myself at least check in on what he's up to. Not only because 'The price of liberty is eternal vigilance,' but because HE DOES sway a lot of people. My son (an intelligent man and a lawyer) tells me not to pay attention to him. That nobody who really matters listens to Rush so his opinions do not resound in the halls or heads of the "opinion makers," but I counter that the last election, since it was so close, would have gone to Gore without Rush.

So I understand, but still try to check in and see what he's up to. I think it's important. (Not to tell anyone else what to do . .)

:toast:

10. Obviously the Bush administration listens to Rush
Cheny was on the show. I think the GOP supplies the talking points.

3. Good news, screembloodymurder......
maybe pig limbaugh will decide not to take anymore vacations. Obviously things go awry when he's not around to cut people off if he doesn't like what they are saying.

4. "Anyone listen to Rush today ?"

I didn't feel like making myself ill today,
but glad to hear even the right wing puppets
are beginning to be unhappy.

5. Idea: The "Listening to Rush Limbaugh Diet"
Rules:
1. You can only eat between Noon and 3 PM Eastern Time.
2. You can eat as much as you want
3. But you must be actively listening to Rush Limbaugh while doing so.

I say an easy 20 pound weight loss in 2 weeks.

9. LOL

I've been looking for a new diet..
but I was hoping to survive.

Two weeks of listening to Limpbah
would be fatal.

14. Heavens no...but Michael Weiner is on during my commute...
I like to laugh at him busting blood vessels in his brain. My favorite rant was the liberal conspiracy to ban news radio by saying fidgeting with the radio is more harmful than cell phones.

I can only listen so long. I deal with enough rich angry paranoid white guys at work.

15. You know. I don't have to...
shave my ass and sit in a bowl of gin to know that it's painful. I would rather do that than listen to Rash Limpbutt!

Soorry, but no.
