Limbaugh to appear on Couric's CBS Evening News

[AmericanErrorist]

So Rush Limbaugh confirmed on his radio show today that the rumors are true: he indeed will be one of the guest commentators to appear in the new "Free Speech" segment of the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. On Sunday, The Drudge Report posted an item saying that the conservative pundit would join George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Walter Cronkite in helping to "launch" Couric's newscast. Apparently, that was enough to provoke paroxysms of outrage from the legions of "ditto heads" who questioned whether Rush had taken leave of his senses (or perhaps reverted to his old regimen of painkillers).

Limbaugh began by expressing shock at the vitriol with which his loyal listeners reacted to the notion that he might be in league with the--gag!--MSM (that's shorthand for "mainstream media" among the black helicopter set). "Many of you accus me of being a sellout, a phony, going over to the dark side, what have you," Limbaugh said. He lashed out at his fans for doubting his commitment to the cause after 18 years on the air. "I sat there, and I smiled in stunned amazement at this," he said.

That's funny. Isn't it Limbaugh who's been mining that vein of conservative rage for the past two decades, who's stoked distrust and paranoia while convincing his listeners that folks like Couric are scheming to take away their hand guns?

1. And the march of the right wing demagogues begins

[yankeedem]

2. So I guess Walter Cronkite is supposed to be the left-wing

counterpart for Rush Limbaugh? Actually, I welcome it. Seems like everytime he is on a regular show where he can't script what happens (ESPN, Pat Sajak), he ends up being humiliated. Anyone want to take a bet that he will have a bigot eruption?

4. He's totally lost if he cannot control the environment

He is one badass motherfucker behind his microphone with his little facist toadey screening his calls. He is a social whale when surrounded by his bought friends. He is a fucking fuck machine with his viagra in a country which is a haven for underage prostitutes. But put him in an honest environment and he is a limp representative of all that is wrong with "conservatism." perky is godawful desperate.

17. The "freeSpeech" segment is pre-taped.

Rush Limbaugh already recorded his.

3. Rush is terrible on TV

He's terrible whenever he leaves his golden EIB microphone. And he's not that good then.

6. Thanks for the warning. I'll avoid her in the future. n/t

[LynneSin]

7. Well if I needed an excuse to avoid her this is it

Rush Limbaugh isn't Free Speech, he's the Dan Brown of talk-show radios. You know it's just a work of fiction and yet there are still idiots out there that think it's real

[jackstraw45]

8. "Free Speech" at CBS news....

:rofl:

[KamaAina]

9. How long before it's "Couric to appear on Limbaugh's CBS Evening News"?!

"Our top story: Studies show that liberalism causes cancer..." :sarcasm:

[Faux pas]

10. Never liked her anyway, she and limpballs will make a great

duo. :puke:

[orleans]

11. hope katie asks him about the viagra

and if he was going after under aged kids wherever the hell he was

and i hope she asks him if he plans on getting married for what--the fourth time?--in the near future

[kellenburger]

12. "I hope she asks him if he plans on getting married ...."

"...for what--the fourth time?--in the near future "

:rofl:

good one!

He is such a good and moral example of
Republican family values ! :sarcasm:


F!CBS

18. It's not an interview.

It's just an already-recorded bit of Rush Limbaugh talking to the camera.

[high density]

13. Why is CBS NEWS adding "opinion & commentary" to their NEWS broadcast?

I'd tune to Fox News, CNN, or talk radio if I wanted commentary. Unless it's Howard Beale screaming out, I don't want to hear it. CBS News is talking about "informing" their viewers and the best way to do that would be to leave the spin/opinion/commentary out of the news and to actually report on items worthy of national attention.

[Eric J in MN]

16. Because opinion is what the public wants. NT

14. Couric's current fuck is a Limbaugh loving right-wing conservative prick

So now we have at least two of the three Evening News anchors (Brian Williams the other one) who are influenced and love the pigman, Rush Limbaugh - to go along with Fox news, Wolfie & CNN and I'm sure ABC as well, that's the whole ball of wax folks!....This just gives the pigman more validity...If I were Cronkite I'd say fuck you Couric! Clinton would never do that, he loves the camera too much....

[WinkyDink]

15. Cronkite will be on because he wants to thumb his nose at Rather.
