Limbaugh bragged that his show inspired Gannon...
Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh proclaimed that he fabricated a point surfacing in a question that Talon News White House correspondent Jeff Gannon subsequently asked of President Bush at a January 26 White House press conference. Gannon asked Bush: "ow are you going to work with people who seem to have divorced themselves from reality?" prefacing the question with the assertion that Senate Minority Leader "Harry Reid was talking about soup lines." But Reid made no reference to soup lines. As Limbaugh noted, "Uh, Harry Reid never said 'soup lines.' That's my term for the simple way to characterize the Democrats' view of America." Limbaugh said he was "flattered and honored and proud to have a point made by this program represented in the press conference and asked by a reporter."

3. but he is a gay. He is a gay, and a prostitute, and a fraud
Oh, are you talking about Limbaugh? Golly, I hope everyone reads the text of this message so that there is no misunderstanding! It would be so irresponsible to make careless, unqualified and easilty misunderstood statements about public figures unless I have my own radio show.

2. Just how the right wing echo chamber works
Limbaugh makes a little exaggeration to illustrate a point: some other right wing idiot hears it and in his mind it becomes a fact: whereupon the other right wing idiot repeats it as fact in as many right wing idiot fora as possible (including the white house) and nobody questions it.

The only step that's missing is where the MSM then repeats it as fact or as a "some people are saying that".

4. Their egos will bring them down...
all we have to do is stand back and watch.

It'll be like the Hindenberg!!

(Actually, forget that about standing back and watching. We should be lighting the matches...)

5. A bitter, hate-spewing, drug-addict inspired a whore. How sweet it is!!!!
Rush is such a violently, vicious anti-American,...he hates any American who fails his fascist test.

And to think he inspired yet another whoring fascist.

8. I was going to post yesterday the Gannon (and Drudge for that matter)...
were creatures from the Limbaugh Lab.

All of which begs the question "Where does he find these guys?"

Perhaps he has an Igor that 'digs up' the talent ("...I believe the name was Abby Normal...")
