"Maybe we need to flush the toilet a bit", couldn't have said it better myself Rushy my boy, dive right in....:hurts:
Democratic sweep couldn't keep Rush Limbaugh fans down. They packed the Warner Theatre on Thursday night to hear the talk show host in his first public appearance since the whole Michael J. Fox flap.
"We love Rush Limbaugh," Potomac resident Judi Kless said before the show, as her husband, Dennis, nodded in agreement. "We listen to him every day."
Mary and Hal Alterman of Alexandria also said they're devoted followers of the conservative radio host. "He's our hero," Mary said. The couple said that misinterpretation caused all the ruckus over Limbaugh's criticism of Fox when the actor appeared in a political ad for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill of Missouri. Limbaugh opined that Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, was either acting or off his medication when the ad, which showed him shaking, was filmed. Fox later told CBS News anchor Katie Couric that he was actually "overmedicated" at the time.
"My own father died of Parkinson's, so I know it very well," Mary Alterman said. "I have total sympathy with Michael J. Fox." She added that she was "absolutely not" offended by the incident. "We're just really excited to be here," she said.
Audience members, who included Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, shelled out $75 to $100 a pop, with proceeds benefiting the Fisher House Foundation, which provides housing for the families of hospitalized military personnel.
WMAL's Chris Core introduced the man of the hour: "I feel like tonight we're the opening act for the Rolling Stones." Cue the rock music, enter Limbaugh. The audience members leaped to their feet, screaming and clapping.
True to form, Limbaugh spoke his mind on various topics.
· The recent election: "Maybe we needed to flush the toilet a bit. There's good in everything."
· Democratic control of Congress: "The thing to do here is stand out of the way and enjoy the show. They're not going to be able to help their liberalism."
