BUM'S RUSH FOR H'WOOD BIG

RUSH Limbaugh irritated the many Democrats at junk-bond billionaire Michael Milken's annual conference in Beverly Hills Tuesday night -- especially John Landis. The "Animal House" director was standing in the back of the Beverly Hilton ballroom, next to Post correspondent David Finnigan, when the bombastic conservative graded President Obama "barely a D." Landis stuck his tongue out and loudly razzed the talkmeister and walked out. Obama got an A and an A- from the Democrats on the panel, ex-Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford Jr. and ex-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Nearby was three-time NBA All-Star Kevin Johnson, now the mayor of Sacramento, Calif., who later caught up with former Bush White House counselor Ed Gillespie in a hotel elevator. "I asked him for a little advice," said Johnson, who will be in Michigan today to help fellow NBA All-Star Dave Bing in his bid to become mayor of Detroit.

THE PROBLEM WITH A DISCLAIMER is its coming off as defensive, especially when it's preemptive. Trouble is, it's damned if do/don't: NOT including it first results in the predictable problems.

DISCLAIMER re: linking to the NY Post (for to head-off highly predictable, OT/hijacking posts):: Yes, it is a RAG. Yes, it is owned by NewsCorp/Faux's MURDOCH. No, he doesn't Dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate to "UNtruth" (OR with "triviality" for that matter). These old time gossipers are more journalistically reliable than Tweety and such ilk. Frequently, political tidbits are here first, later to show up in more "respectable" venues. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking intel results in self-fulfilling FALSENESS. I got hooked on these gossipers when they were on the
E!1 network and, when they were cancelled, tracked them down and they happened to be at THE RAG (NY Post). ALL I read at THE RAG are the gossip and the horoscope. On Edit: If this disclaimer is NOT ENOUGH, if you don't like this o.p., PLEASE just click OUT without leaving your any-further-a(doo-doo)!1
