Rush Limbaugh:

"Obama doesn't like his middle name being used, so we can't use it? What are we going to call him? Barack Fitzgerald Obama? Barack Earl Obama?"

No. "Mr. President" will do fine.
Yes, we can!!

Yo, I heard "Chemical Ali" is going to be executed soon.

Or is that too ironic?
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

He cracks me up.

He is desperate one minute and then the next minute is promising his audience that there will not be a democrat in the white house.

He is anti-Huckabee and anti-McCain - poor guy.

He talks about me like he knows me and he doesn't. He tells his audience what I am thinking and he is wrong.

He is so cute when he talks about what 'others' are saying - repeating it over and over again and at the same time claiming he is not saying it.

That boy just cracks me up.

The scary thing is that there are many who truly believe the things that he is saying.

Remember how I said I always secretly wished that William F. Buckley had been a liberal?

I am quite openly happy that Rush isn't!

Too bad I can't take back the year or so I spent listening to the Jeff Christie Show on KQV. Jim Quinn, too -- sadly, I started a Jim Quinn fan club in 8th grade (we called ourselves Jim Quinn's Wayward Girls, inspired by some radio bit he did.)

Eh, I was 13, what did I know? :?

I didn't mean to indicate there was a problem.

It cracks me up because he is promising his audience that the democrats will not have the white house and then he goes on to be against both of the republicans left. Cracks me up.

According to the latest national polls, McCain is leading both Clinton and Obama but the results are within the margin of error. And, he is against both McCain and Huckabee since neither of them can be considered a Reaganesque Conservative. They are moderates at best. So, both of his statements are correct. Also, don't forget, more than anything, he is an entertainer and his job is to attract the largest audience for his sponsors. It appears that he is doing a damned good job of that. And, while I don't agree with everything he says (when it comes to his slant), most of what he says is factual (if you can prove to me otherwise, I am all ears).

And, then again, there is nobody that I agree with all of the time - not even Lady G. ;)

Governor Huckabee is no Moderate. I read a good article recently about how some Conservatives are going so far in defining "Conservative" so as to exclude anybody who does not agree with the definer 100%. By most of the standards being required today, Ronald Reagan would not qualify to be a "Conservative."

I admit that I am a huge Mike Huckabee fan, but after listening to several of his speeches in which he addresses far more than social issues (The Detroit Economic Club speech in particular), I fail to understand why he is attacked as "moderate at best." The only conclusion I can reach is that people accepted Mitt Romney's and the Club for Growth's misleading attacks on him back in Iowa & New Hampshire and never have really listened to him themselves.

I really like Huckabee. He seems to be the kind of guy I would enjoy being around. He seems to be fun and alive and real.

I do not agree with him on some important issues to me, so I do not want him being my president.

I would love to have him be the Health Czar.

Isn't that what a dittohead is..one who agrees with someone all the time?
Why would we want to do that with anyone?

BTW, do people still call in to Rush's show? Just wondering.

They do!

My faves (meaning the ones that crack me up the most) start with:

"Megadittos, Rush, I agree with everything you say."

I have more of an appreciation for him after seeing him on SNL. He was really good.
