LIMBAUGH ATTACKS MICHAEL J. FOX

“He is exaggerating the effects of the disease,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act. . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.”

Limbaugh was berserko in his repugnant ridicule of Fox, who has been doing spots this week for various Democratic candidates, in particular one for Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, running against Republican Sen. James M. Talent. Limbaugh attacked, apologized, and attacked again. Let’s see, who’s off their meds again? (Of course Limbaugh was slapped on the wrist in June for having a bottle of viagra, prescription in someone else’s name, in violation of his earlier plea bargain probation agreement.)
To quote some Limbaughisms, “You just had to have been there, folks.” And, “I’m not making any of this up, folks.”

Haven’t seen Limpbaugh’s attack video?

This guy is truly an ignorant blowhard, a truly mean thing. I’m not going to call this type of sociopath a person. A living being – yes. A person – no.

Please Ya’ll, next time you hear one of the neocrazy ilk preaching “Compassionate Conservatism,” Please, please, please, just come on over and shoot me, will ya? Their special form of insanity is just so far over the edge, they can’t be called back to reality. They’ve got Limbaugh, Ann Coulter who has even threatened a judge, and Bill O’Reilly who is threatening his call-in phoners who speak ill of him or who mention Keith Olbermann, with a visit from Fox Security! I’m not kidding about any of these! Here’s the full piece on O’Reilly.

O’REILLY (audio clip): Orlando, Florida. Mike, go.

CALLER: Hey, Bill, I appreciate your taking my call.

O’REILLY: Sure.

CALLER: I like to listen to you during the day. I think Keith Olbermann’s show –

O’REILLY: There you go, Mike is — he’s a gone guy. You know, we have his — we have your phone numbers, by the way, so if you’re listening, Mike, we have your phone number. And we’re going to turn it over to Fox security, and you’ll be getting a little visit.

E.D. HILL (co-host): Maybe Mike is from the mothership.

O’REILLY: No, maybe Mike’s going to get in big trouble, because we’re not gonna play around. When you call us, ladies and gentlemen, just so you know, we do have your phone number. And if you say anything untoward, obscene, or anything like that, Fox security then will contact your local authorities, and you will be held accountable. Fair?

HILL: That’s fair.

<>I’m saving my barbecue of Peroxide Annie Coulter until after the election. There’s not enough hours in my days right now. I will tell you this much, she is currently under investigation for falsifying her address for purposes of voting in Florida back in February of this year. ANN COULTER’S VOTING ‘PROBLEM’

Foley Article – Hastert, actually

This was originally posted to another blog of mine on October 16, 2006.  I’m adding it to this blog which will probably be my main soapbox for the time being.

Okay, the Foley story broke on Friday, September 29, 2006, as a result of ABC News asking Foley about the related emails. Foley no commented, went to the office and threw himself on his sword. (“Good on him”, to quote another Texas writer). He did the right thing, finally. It would have been the end of the story right then and there had not fellow Republicans known about his proclivities towards …….

O.M.G.!, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT I WAS “GOING OFF,” PREACHING TO THE CHOIR JUST NOW??!! I turned around just in time to see that the choir consists of the entire populace of the United States. My one voice probably won’t change anyone’s opinion by now. We all agree on this, though, I’m sure: Foley was guilty of something, probably, and he breached Congressional ethics, somehow; but we won’t know, exactly how, until the investigations are finished some months from now, maybe in time to make the headlines somewhere around the 2006 Christmas holidays.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, so what’s your point? Is this going to be a long story?”, you ask.

Okay, long-story-short, here’s what the Republican Congress should do. Hastert should turn in his resignation, effective in 90 days – he’s up for re-election, by the way – with the caveat that he will use his remaining time to expose and fire anyone else who knew about the coverup. Use the 90 days, or say, the rest of this term, to cleanup congress and prevent the further spread of American Voter Cynicism over whether congress represents the people or the myriad of philosophical and economic special interests.

Hastert could be viewed by history as an !!EXCLAMATION POINT!! – the guy who sacrificed himself for the PEOPLE, rather than as another mere comma.

Result? The Republicans would truly be seen as a moral party. The Dems would control the House for a short while. Hastert would sit on the bench for two years and then he’d be a viable player again.

The effect would be the most-hugest, most-humongous makeover in modern popculture history. This sordid mess could be turned into a stunning victory for Republicans viewed over a larger historical timeline.

OMG!!! I can’t believe I was just preaching to the choir again. WE KNOW THIS WON’T HAPPEN!!!! We all know that the Republicans are too much in denial to ever contemplate this solution.

End of sermon: AMEN, Brethren.

I should mention Hastert’s 3 million dollar land deal resulting from his use of taxpayer’s money to route a new interstate closer to some land that he and his partners purchased. The partners cleared 1.5 million and Hastert, himself, cleared over 1.5 million (dollars, US) Where else but congress can you make that kind of money that easily?

BEGINNINGS

Okay, here goes. post #1:

Did you guys happen to catch Anderson Cooper’s AC360 on Tuesday night, Oct 24, 2006, being guested by another one of the CNN regulars, John XXXX?, can’t remember the name. He was quizzing Glenn Beck and Beck said, “They’ve already shown tax cuts work to cut the deficit.” Beck did not sound ironic when he said it. He sounded serious. Perhaps I misunderstood his intent?

I’m wondering now, an hour or two later if by “deficits,” Beck was referring to trade deficits or budget deficits.

Either case, Bush took Clinton’s budget surplus and turned it into a budget deficit, and miracle of miracles, was able to cut taxes for the wealthy, all the while convincing hard working Americans that he was a financial miracle worker while running up trillions in new debt.

I sincerely hope that Beck was being ironic and not serious.  It would be tragic if even CNN began drinking the neocons’ evangelical KoolAid.
