Rush is trashing Oprah

[libodem]

(I listened just for a minute, I swear) Caller came on and is incensed that Suzie Orman suggested to a couple that in order to gain control of the household budget they should forgo dining out for a month. Caller is crying foul that the influence of the program is going to keep people from patronizing restaurants and further damage the economy. He's really angry that they don't consider the impact on small business and therefore the vendors, and the trickle down effect. Rush immediately makes the connection to Obama. Obama's friend is single-handedly responsible for spreading disaster. There are no coincidences, you know.

1. Could he be anymore stupid? A lot of people don't have money to eat out as often

Individuals can't break their budget to patronize business.

2. rolls eyes...

Rush is such a boob.

[EmilyAnne]

3. Rush certainly doesn't look like someone who misses too many restaurant meals.

I'm sure he can keep quite a few in business.
True about there being no coincidences.
Except, of course, that one major cluster of coincidences that found Rush Limbaugh returning from one of the most notorious child sex tourism destinations with a 29 improperly labeled Viagra pills. Just a coincidence.

4. So what do Orman and Obama and Oprah have to do with each other, other than the letter "O"? n/m

10. Ah-ha

mystery solved.

5. My gosh

but that is so ridiculous! Not eating out is hurting the economy???? What an idiot!!!

6. That's a celebrity war I want to see.

Oprah and Rush. Actually, a war with Oprah would probably only help Rush in the minds of his supporters, whereas I don't think Oprah's followers really care that much about Rush one way or the other. But it would shine a light on Rush, a much needed light. His history with draft dodging and curious marriages and sex tourist jaunts might actually become mainstream news.

7. Rush should keep stuffing his face with

greasy kobe steaks swimming in butter at an expensive restaurant. The rest of us can eat at more moderately priced restaurants, eat at home even more, and stay healthy. People aren't doing the economy any favors by spending money using debt.

8. rw males hate oprah as much or more than hillary. their women watch her and

she is about empowering self, ergo, causing conflict for these males, lol.

9. Why do people give any credence to this jerk?

I couldn't care less what he says about anyone.

[elocs]

11. That's a great way to make friends and influence people. n/t

12. lol republicans I thought were for fiscal conservative ideas

Remember sometimes it's good to spend, sometimes it isn't. Stimulus bill bad, stimulating restaurants good. Get it?

[Booster]

13. Oprah has the power to bring this asshole down.

OPRAH POWER - YEA!!!!

[TWiley]

14. good ..... lets just see how well that works out for him

I bet Oprah can kick his ass.

[Dukkha]

15. remove "ing Oprah" from the subject and it speaks truth loud and clear

[GinaMaria]

16. Oh, I think Oprah can handle Rush

I'm not one bit worried about her. I may even feel a smidgen sorry for him once she gets a hold of him.

[ejpoeta]

17. it's horrible that oprah and suze orman want people to take responsibility

for their lives and their debt! OMG!! getting control of your finances is AWFUL!! we need to continue being led around by our debt. What a load of crap!! This living beyond our means is what got us into this mess in the first place!! Think about that commercial with the guy on the lawnmower... 'i'm in debt up to my eyeballs!' yeah. let's just keep living outside our means and eating out when we CAN'T AFFORD IT!!

18. You can't talk about not eating to Rush.. be real
