I know I don't listen to Rush (gag!) but many on the right certainly do! Check out the quote below the fold taken from a transcript of his show, found here: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_042006/content/see_i_told_you_so.guest.html

Scary: Fitzgerald Going After Pre-War Intel As Crime

He's referring to Robert Novak's comments and this is his conclusion. I love it!

RUSH: I'll tell you what, if Novak is right and Pat Fitzgerald has known who leaked from the get-go here, then I'm right. Fitzgerald doesn't want his case to be over something as small as something like perjury, so he's going after the whole prewar intel as a crime. This is scary stuff.

If Rush is scared, you bet your ass his audience is paying attention.

1. From the mouths of grotesque, bloated, Oxycontin-gulping swine

to the ears of G-d.

[Canuckistanian]

24. Funny, because HIS ears don't work anymore

And he still, to this day, refuses to acknowledge that the Oxycontin made him deaf.

[tavalon]

41. Denial

Is not just a river in Egypt.

[stepnw1f]

2. Hey Freepers.... I Thought You Were the Party of Morals

what happened?

[hippiechick]

3. No, Rush, what's scary is ....

... that our government is run by a bunch of half-assed dim-witted greedy crony criminals, and nobody's tried to FUCKING STOP THEM until Fitz!!!

[StaggerLee]

29. Right on!

:thumbsup:

[HereSince1628]

4. Rush is just ringing the "out of control" prosecutor warning bell

Rush's job is to persuade the wingnut-base that Fitz' investigation is way off base, unfair, and must be stopped. With mention of possibility of a Rove indictment it seems this gem is right on time

[NewJeffCT]

5. they've tried that a few times already

it went over like the proverbial lead balloon... even the corporate media picked up on Bush's earlier glowing praise of Fitzgerald.

[donco6]

6. Can anyone say "Whitewater"?

Turnabout is fair play, especially when this case involves billions in federal money, an illegal war, lies about intelligence, and deaths of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Whitewater was about . . . Jennifer Flowers? I forget . . .

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Doesn't this pathetic asswipe remember Ken "Porno" Starr?

Starr wound up far from where his investigation began.................

[leeroysphitz]

17. If that's the case then why doesn't he start comparing Fitz

to the Starr investigation? Hehehehehe.....

[DemonFighterLives]

7. Rush says he's right

He has totally lost it now. Fat ass should just shut up and take his medicine.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. He does take his medicine. About 70 pills a day

[DemonFighterLives]

35. I hear ya,, what a pig

:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

10. The bloated windbag is not going to see me tuning in any time soon.

bwwwwwwwwwwwwa. iiiiiiiiiiick.

[Melsky]

11. It's not just a crime

It's a war crime.

[glitch]

34. It's not just a war crime. It's treason. And Rush is a collaborator.

He can be tried for that. He should be scared.

[Liberal In Texas]

12. If it came out of his mouth, it doesn't have credibility, even if we

happen to like the message for once.

But, having said that, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[DBoon]

18. even a blind pig will find a truffle

with apologies to pigs everywhere

[SlavesandBulldozers]

25. what about a deaf pig

with a pill problem?

[The Stranger]

13. It's an ongoing criminal conspiracy, as those in Congress prevent

impeachment, which is the only remedy offered under the Constitution for executive war crimes.

[gratuitous]

14. Criminals are often scared of law enforcement

What's next, Rush? Water is wet? Air is good to breathe?

[Oversea Visitor]

15. He just admited

that they did wrong and there are cover up and Fitz going to blow it all up :rofl:

Rush say damn Fitzmas here soon :party:

[seabeyond]

16. little thing like perjury. ohhhh the drama and trauma, hence clinton

impeachment. every dumb ass repug i talked to, it is about lying.... underoath. should receive the death penalty, certainly kicked out of his job as president.

little thing

how we adjust ourselves at any given moment for agenda

[warrens]

19. Only scary if you're a treasonous Repuke dirtbag criminal nt

[mtnester]

20. The irony in this quote "something as small as something like perjury"

it was a BIG deal for them when they went after Clinton for perjury.

Rush is trying to downplay perjury and set the prosecutor up as a traitor...trust me he is NOT scared and appalled in the way we are..he is scared and pissed that the prosecutor is trying to undermine the war (In their warped minds)

The perjury is ancillary to them, unless they can use it to their benefit (and only AGAINST the DEMS)

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

26. RULE OF LAW!!!! RULE OF LAW!!! MAYDAY!!! MAYDAY!!!!

Oh, it's a Republican. Never mind.

Go about your business. Nothing to see here.

[RobertSeattle]

30. What will we tell the CHILDREN?

--- whimper ---

[leesa]

21. That's right Rush...TREASON...Booga, Booga.

And YOU have been an accomplice.

[AtomicKitten]

22. That's right, Vulgar Pigboy, be very afraid.

[progressoid]

23. Scary because they'll find the truth?

He's implying that the scary thing is that Fitz is trying to create a crime that doesn't exist. But we all know that scary things (and crimes) have been going on for years.

[Canuckistanian]

40. Scary because the regime is collapsing...

Collapsing faster than a house of cards in a hurricane...

[Texaroo]

27. "Something as small as perjury?" Rush Limbaugh?

Ummmm.... I seem to recall when Rush thought perjury was near a capital crime, certainly impeachable. I guess we already know that memory loss is a common trait among repugnants.

[D_Master]

28. Heard that at work

He was talking about how Fitz has known all along and that's not a crime, so he is now going around trying to find a crime and make his name and investigation remembered as being very important. I believe in the context he meant it's scary how hard people are working to take down Bush and the Repubs, even going as far as to attack things like the intelligence.

I hate Rush as much as the next guy, but I don't think he was scared in saying that, just saying the people on the left are scary, which is pretty much what his entire 3 hrs. is about.

[Catrina]

38. I agree, but it's fun watching him having to take back all his 'talking

points' now. Things are no longer in their control.

Remember when the 'left' were a bunch of 'limp-wristed, panty-waist, whiners'? Now, all of a sudden they're 'sccccaaaaarry'! :rofl:

And what happened to 'rule of law' or 'we are a nation of laws, not men'?

My favorite, I know, is going to be 'NO PRESIDENT IS ABOVE THE LAW'! Wait 'til Rush has to deal with Bush being indicted! :rofl:


Now they're claiming THIS President is above the law.
The rule of law doesn't apply to THIS president!
And liberals are suddenly people to be SCARED of!

Not to mention, that he seems to have changed his mind about Drug Addicts being sent 'upriver'! Soon, he's going to be a Liberal! He used to slam trial attorneys, until he needed one!

It is fun watching their whole act falling apart, day after day.

I think they thought Rove was a genius and would outwit Fitzgerald. NOW, they're really getting riled, because who's going to give them their talking points when Rove ends up behind bars? This is too much fun! It's probably a sin to get such a kick out of watching their whole scam come crashing down around them! :-)

[Chomp]

42. Thanks for posting the whole context,

which changes the thrust of what he was saying considerably.

[kentuck]

31. From his lips to God's ears...

I wish Fitz had it in him..

[mitchum]

32. I will celebrate that bloviating pig's final OD

[debbierlus]

33. It IS scary stuff...Just not for the reasons he is saying

Scary because we have a government that LIED to start a war.

A government that has stolen our treasury.

A government that exists to steal from us, and give to the corporations.

Fuck you, Rush.

[stepnw1f]

36. That's Right Pig Boy

after your masters go down, you will too. Besides... you need to be in detox.

[proud patriot]

37. Wheeee !

Freepers are Stupid suckers who got their heads bumped
by snake oil salesmen ...

[TexasLawyer]

39. Well, at least Rush is running a

Fitz-halo picture along with the transcript.

[baby_mouse]

43. Stay the course, Rush...

Stay the course...

I want to see you actually GET to where you've been heading all this time. :7 Not that it's where you thought it was...

[samhsarah]

44. Scary stuff indeed, Rush...

Scary stuff indeed.:evilgrin:

[eppur_se_muova]

45. From the mouths of boobs ... nt
