Rush Limbaugh, here's some drive-by media for you

That's the winner? Lame. I think some Swamp posters came up with better stuff than that. Note to DNC - puns with the word "rush" are not reallly that funny.

Befitting of the "bloated one".

Nothing wrong with the DNC going after Rush. It was the White House sniping that was getting a little over-the-top.

http://www.political-buzz.com/

Actually, 53% of the voters DID vote for failure......

No, Americans voted for a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist who we can only pray will fail.

Obama is change Saul Alinsky can believe in.

Rush Limbaugh is a great American. He's a war hero, scholar and a selfless public servant. Criticism of him is not only unpatriotic, it is downright treason. Rush is our leader. He is to be followed, obeyed, and never questioned. We all ow our alligiance to him, and him alone, now and forever. All Hail the Leader. Hail Limbaugh! Hail Limbaugh! Hail Limbaugh!

Rush, the magic druggie, lied by the sea

And frolicked in the right wing fog in a land called ItsAboutMe,
Little Karly Rover loved that rascal Rush,
And brought him pills and talking points and other fancy stuff. oh

Rush, the crypto-fascist lived by the lie
And frolicked in the rhetorical mist in a land called ManImHigh,

Together they would travel on a 'Southern Strategy' wave
Karly kept a lookout perched on Rush's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,
Republicans would lower their flag when Rush roared out his name. oh!

Rush, the viagra stallion loves the ladies a lot
And frolicked in the Honduran mist with one he had just bought!

(Too easy, I quit)

"Americans didn't vote for a Rush to failure,"

Maybe not, but then America really doesn't know what America voted for.

If this isn't proof positive of bias I don't know what is:

"I still prefer the one I proposed in an earlier posting, especially for a highway side billboard. "Rush hour is over in America."'

Who keeps Frank's seat at the DNC warm for him when he's not there?

Personal attacks on Republican supporters seem to fit right in at the most corrupt administration in the history of the country. El Rushboe is an entertainer, not a politician, for those who forgot.

I still think, "Vote Democratic - because fat and stupid is no way to go through life," should have won.

How typically thin-skinned of Dems. It was o..k. for Carville and others to publically state that they wished then-President Bush to fail. Funny how the media chooses to forget that. Or the fact that in polls shortly after 9/11 the MAJORITY of Dems wished for Bush to fail.

But then libs are the exception.

I'm surprised the DNC chose such an ambiguous slogan. It suggests that a "rush to failure" is not what we voted for, but it's what we're getting.
President Obama is right! We really need to focus on improving American education, especially when it comes to basic English.

From the files of "news they won't report at the Swamp."
FBI raids office of D.C. CTO, Obama appointee

Federal agents this morning are searching the Judiciary Square office of Washington, D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer.

The search is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said. She declined to comment further.

The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was February 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said.
Now that some actual news has been imparted to you, you swamp rats can get back to the very important work of submitting billboards to attack a talk show host and following the very important subject that is Bristol Palin's love life.

I prefer "If your Rushin' when you go in the bathroom and Finnish, when you come out . . . "

It's all pretty silly

http://which-ways-up.com/2009/03/rush-billboard-design-winner/

Pretty good. How about:

Let's not RUSH back into the Dark Ages.

Fools RUSH in where angels fear to tread.

Clueless, ruthless, low intelligence and low information RUSH.

For the most part I think the less attention given to this overgrown child who behaves like a 2-year-old the better. It just feeds his already monstrously huge ego (hiding no doubt a massive inferiority complex).

Oh my a billboad, that will really show Rush a thing or two, Who came up with this idea, some ACORN worker?

Another example as to why the Chicago Obune is the world's worst "news"paper. Its reporters are clueless, their biases are bleed through and overall the paper is a joke. As much as I like Linda Kohlmeyer, she is the main picture and headline for Wednesday's paper? She takes up 2/3 of the front page?
Of course, as the Obune continues to dive into the abyss its sort of fitting that the country dives into the abyss under the Tribune's Messiah: Barack Obama. Since his election, this country's fortunes have tanked and the Tribune has tanked as a legitimate source of news and journalism.
The day the Tribune folds will truly be one of the greatest days in American history. The same goes for the NY Lying Times Co. too.

Ahhhhh Jeff....nice of you to play tit for tat. Your distortion is weak....the investigation is not directed towards Vivek Kundra, but 2 other men. Your lame attemp to link the 2 is obvious. So instead of misdirecting...how do you feel about Rush and the republicans wanting failure and Palins daughter having a child and no shotgun wedding?

Suck on it, Druggy Rush!

The Repuglicans are never going to crawl out of the minority if they don't stop using cartoon characters as their party representitives.

Can a Sociopath like Limbaugh actually be embarrassed? Does he actually live anywhere?

Limbaugh has a huge compound, like a robber-baron or a Bond-film villain (Dr Evil), so I don't know if there's anyway that the community could ever disturb his stream of Wingnut ideological fervor, but maybe..

It sure is nice to see people take the offensive against the Republican party and their batsh*t-crazy cult-leader, Limbaugh.

Jeff, here is more news you won't see in the Swamp or anywhere in the Chicago Obune because it is favorable to its Messiah: Barack Obama.

Obama, Geithner Get Low Grades From Economists

U.S. President Barack Obama and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner received failing grades for their efforts to revive the economy from participants in the latest Wall Street Journal forecasting survey.

Economists Give Obama an "F"
3:13
In striking contrast to President Obama's popularity with the public, a new Wall Street Journal survey of economists gives the president and his treasury secretary failing grades. WSJ's Phil Izzo and Kelly Evans discuss.
The economists' assessment stands in stark contrast with Mr. Obama's popularity with the public, with a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll giving him a 60% approval rating. A majority of the 49 economists polled said they were dissatisfied with the administration's economic policies.

On average, they gave the president a grade of 59 out of 100, and although there was a broad range of marks, 42% of respondents rated Mr. Obama below 60. Mr. Geithner received an average grade of 51. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke scored better, with an average 71.

Charts and Full Results
See forecasts for growth, unemployment, housing and more. Plus, views on the auto industry, ranking Fed chairmen, grading policymakers and more. Survey conducted March 6-10. (Or download all data as .xls)Real Time Econ: Economic news and analysisComplete Coverage: Forecasting SurveyThe economists, many of whom have been continually surprised by the depth of the downturn, also pushed back yet again their forecasts for when a recovery would begin. On average, they expect the downturn to end in October. Last month, they said the bottom would arrive in August. They estimate that U.S. gross domestic product will continue to contract in the first half of this year, with slow growth returning in the third quarter.

Economists were divided over whether the $787 billion economic-stimulus package passed last month is enough. Some 43% said the U.S. will need another stimulus package on the order of nearly $500 billion. Others were skeptical of the need for stimulus at all.

However, economists' main criticism of the Obama team centered on delays in enacting key parts of plans to rescue banks. "They overpromised and underdelivered," said Stephen Stanley of RBS Greenwich Capital. "Secretary Geithner scheduled a big speech and came out with just a vague blueprint. The uncertainty is hanging over everyone's head."

Mr. Geithner unveiled the Obama administration's plans Feb. 10, but he offered few details, and stocks sank on the news. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down almost 20% since the announcement, as multiple issues have weighed on investors' confidence. The Treasury secretary has since appeared before Congress and offered more specifics but has said action on key parts of the plan still is weeks away.

About the Survey
The Wall Street Journal surveys a group of 54 economists throughout the year. Broad surveys on more than 10 major economic indicators are conducted every month. Once a year, economists are ranked on how well their forecasts have fared. For prior installments of the surveys, see: WSJ.com/Economist.
"We have taken an unprecedented level of action toward economic recovery, accomplishing in weeks what took other countries years to do," Treasury spokesman Isaac Baker said. "While Wall Street and investors were disappointed when they didn't get a sweeping bank bailout, we've laid out a plan to stabilize the financial system while protecting the taxpayer and ensuring government funds are spent wisely. This crisis was years in the making, and it will take time to solve."

Treasury has started implementing a housing-recovery plan, moved forward on a joint program with the Fed to boost consumer lending, and has begun stress-testing banks in an effort to determine which institutions will need additional capital from the government. The results of the stress tests won't be known for a few weeks. Meanwhile, a key part of the plan -- a public-private partnership to take toxic assets off bank balance sheets -- remains in the planning stages.

The economists' negative ratings mark a turnaround in opinion. In December, before Mr. Obama took office, three-quarters of respondents said the incoming administration's economic team was better than the departing Bush team. However, Mr. Geithner's latest marks are lower than the average grade of 57 that former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson received in January.

How's Geithner Doing?
How would you rate Timothy Geithner's job performance as Treasury secretary?

Vote: A | B | C | D | FJoin the discussion.Mr. Geithner, who is relying on a skeleton crew of advisers in the Treasury Department as the administration struggles to make key appointments to his staff, is encountering the same problems as his predecessor in dealing with the complexities of a bailout plan. Richard DeKaser of Woodley Park Research, who gave high marks to Messrs. Obama and Geithner, admitted disappointment in the delay in action but said he appreciated the magnitude of the task. "I don't know what's holding it up," he said. "But I'm assuming it's not just because they're hitting the golf course."

There was widespread initial support for the appointment of Mr. Geithner, who as president of the New York Federal Reserve had been on the front lines of the crisis since it erupted. However, in the ensuing weeks Mr. Geithner has had to deal with tax troubles and criticism from those opposed to any bailouts as well as those who think the government needs to be doing more.

Meanwhile, the economists surveyed this month predict that the economy will shed another 2.8 million jobs over the next 12 months as the unemployment rate climbs to 9.3% by December, up from the 8.1% rate recorded in February. Economists also see nearly a one-in-six chance that the U.S. will fall into a depression, defined as a decline in per-person GDP or consumption by 10% or more.

"We just keep moving the date [when the recession will end] out, hoping at some point in time we will be able to move the date back in," said Diane Swonk of Mesirow Financial.

The economists didn't just single out the U.S. for criticism; 70% of participants said the response of governments around the world to the global recession has been inadequate. "The Europeans or Japanese don't seem to be doing near enough to kickstart their economies," said Nariman Behravesh of IHS Global Insight. "It could be we've done all the right things, but the rest of the world goes down the tubes."

Despite the growing criticism elsewhere, the respondents were broadly supportive of the Fed. More than 85% of the economists agreed that the central bank's proliferating lending programs are well-designed, well-executed and helping the economy. And while grades for Mr. Bernanke remain off of their 2007 highs, the average has stabilized after falling as low as 69 in the November survey.

Amid all the gloom, there is a bright spot: Four-fifths of the economists said now is a good time to buy equities, especially if the investor has a long-term view.

This slogan sound more like a slam on Obama than it does Rush. Lame!

...
especially if the investor has a long-term view.

Normally I'd be thrilled to be among the dogs going for Rush's throat, but this leaves me a bit put-off (a bit put-off? read that as "truly pi**ed). Given the economy right now, I'm angry that money has been spent (and money HAS been spent) on a billboard that will ultimately do no good for anyone. Furthermore, if we're looking to cause any harm to Limbaugh, I somehow suspect THAT target has also been missed, cuz he couldn't care less about this. SURELY there are better uses for DNC funds than this!

It's really up to the individual voter what they think of this obama appointee's controversial connections, and not you, Hussein.

Oh this is just great! .....real mature behavior from the Democrats! Obama's first 50 days have been a complete disaster and this is their way to distract his failures....a slimmy, lame attack on a private citizen!! James Carville and the smear machine is back in business!

John D,

You are too tough on the Tribune. We have to filter through ALL of these daily rags. At least the Tribune has a nice layout, nice colors, and soon da Sox and Cubbies will be at their task. Imagine having to read through Maureen Dowd in the Houston Chronicle three days a week, which of course I don't.

Post On, J.D. Liberals are so in Control Mode that they haven't figured out how to scroll down, if there is something that they don't particularly care to read. Regards.

Would someone please teach Donut how to cut and paste.

Obama and the Democrats are on the verge of destroying the United States Military by doing away with the "don't ask, don't tell policy, and we're talking about a billboard ad? 10's of thousands of our bravest fighting men will not renew their service if the Lib's get their way!!! I for one....HOPE OBAMA FAILS!!!! Please...put that on a billboard!

Oh, and Bill, spellcheck. You REALLy should look into it. I'm just sayin'.

Ha! Tim Kaine with the LOLs.

All the love coming from the party of George Soros and Michael Moore.

Let's throw all the homophobes out of the military. We don't need those cowards. Let the brave men and women who face up to bigotry serve and send the gutless wimps who are terrified of who someone else sleeps with home.

Attacks on Rush aren't included here but a few other irrelevancies are:

Quickie Takes on the News

The following are very recent news items which for various reasons were not worth the effort to discuss in any great detail but which are still worth a quick look:

The United States is a “deadbeat” according to the United Nations: U.N. Secretary General Ban ki-moon: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96SLVQ85&show_article=1. This from the leader of an organization that defines teats on a bull and to which we contribute 22% of its annual budget, not including other assessments. Ban ki-moon should be more careful about biting the hand that feeds that cesspool on the East River.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele says he’s pro-life but nevertheless believes abortion is “an individual choice:” http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=44939. That is tantamount to saying that murder is “an individual choice” and no one should interfere with a murderer’s right to choose. If not for the fact that Steele is Black he could and would be removed forthwith as chairman.

Nadya Suleman, the Californian fruitcake who makes babies with the ease that Duncan makes doughnuts, has her eyes on a half-million dollar house which is as yet unfit for human habitation: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=44939. Angelina Jolie wannabe-lookalike, Nadya may have to wait until the hospital that still houses her latest brood of eight approves. Maybe it can be converted to a human zoo?

MSNBC’s Jim Cramer is feuding with Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart over the Earth-shaking issue of who America trusts more: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/03/11/is-jon-stewart-americas-most-trusted-financial-voice/. Personally, I think more trust should be placed in Nadya Suleman than in either of these feuding liberals. The most reassuring thing about the dispute is that it proves that God really did create more horses’ arses than He created horses.

Forty eight hours after issuing an executive order endorsing embryonic stem cell research, President Obama signed a law banning embryonic stem cell research: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=44943. Is this like Kerry’s voting for the Iraq war after he voted against it? Nope, it just proves once again that our lawmakers don’t bother to read the bills they vote for and our president doesn’t bother to read what he signs. The ban law will no doubt be repealed in short order and the murder of human embryos will go on.

Lord help us!

It's really up to the individual voter what they think of this obama appointee's controversial connections, and not you, Hussein.

It's also up to the individual voters to hear the "whole" story. As you all like to cry about bias in reporting, it is certainly a tool that you and Bruce, and John D like to use also.

Oh, and Bill, spellcheck. You REALLy should look into it. I'm just sayin'.

Posted by: Jeff | March 12, 2009 6:04 PM

Oh and Jeff...when your successful enough to retire at 52 I'll pay a little more attention to my spelling. If there are words there you can't understand, I'll help you out with them. Butwhole! Just saying....

The majority of Americans didn't vote for Bush either...but thanks to the electorial college we all got screwed by Rush's pals over the last eight years.

One for the billboard--
"And now the liberals want to stop President Reagan from selling chemical warfare agents and military equipment to Saddam Hussein, and why? Because Saddam allegedly gassed a few Kurds in his own country. Mark my words. All of this talk of Saddam Hussein being a war criminal or committing crimes against humanity is the same old thing - liberal hate speech. And speaking of poison gas, I say we round up all the drug addicts and gas them."

Good one! They just can't lie their way out of it, can they?

Heil Limbaugh!! Seig Heil!!

What do those "conservatives have to say about the post from KRush?

Oh, ye of little faith!
.
They could say that was a made-up quote by the EvilIbrulMedia.
.
They could tell you that in the larger context, those comments were made irrelevant.
.
They could say he was only joking, and you know what happens to people if they can't take a joke.
.
They could say that Iraq didn't exist until 1989; therefore it was impossible for Rush to have commented on it in 1988.
.
They could tell you that there was never a person named Saddam Hussein; he was just a fiction of the liberals. The only Hussein that's ever existed is Hussein Obama, and WHY HAS HE NEVER EXPLAINED HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH TONY REZKO?????
.
They could ask what difference it made for Hussein to have killed Kurds. What somebody does with their own country is THEIR business, a matter of individual liberty. Did Hussein ever try to gas YOU, personally? HUH, did he??? What are we? Nation-builders or something? And why WOULDN'T we want to gas all addicts (excluding Rush, of course, who was never really an addict)? What are you -- some kind of criminal-comforter?
.
They could tell you Ronald Reagan was the greatest president ever, and he never sold any arms, or chemical agents, or military equipment, to anybody. Never even TRIED to. And if he DID (which he didn't), isn't free enterprise a great thing? Look at how much the proceeds of sales like that would have bolstered our economy! Not like you sit-on-your-butt, nanny-state LIBERALS who never want to do anything but collect Public Aid!
.
They could tell you that, in the full context of the message, "gassed the Kurds" meant only that Hussein gave them free fuel for their cars for a week. It was an effort to gain support, so that he could be in a better position to train and equip the terrorists who would ultimately cause 9/11. Because THERE WAS a connection between Iraq and 9/11, and anybody who doesn't believe that is a commie.
.
They could remind you that Clinton had sex in the Oval Office. They could say that Carter was the worst president EVER -- don't you remember all that inflation and the lousy interest rates?
.
They could say that every single day is a battle against the terrorists, and for you to bring up this quote is demoralizing to our troops, who you want to FAIL!!!!! SHAME on you!
.
They could tell you that that quote is actually from Michael Moore, not Rush Limbaugh.
.
They could remind you that, in 1988, Democrats were a majority in Congress, so it was their fault.
.
In future, please consider further before you run down a Republican's ability to lie like a rug.

Well,,,,,, not too shabby.
