Do my ears deceive me? Just heard Rush Limpballs indicate he wants to call truce with Dems...

[tex-wyo-dem]

First off, I don't make it a habit to listen to Rush on a regular basis (my gaestro-intestinal system would have a real problem with that), but since AAR went off the air here in Dallas I occasionally flip through the plethora RW AM hate stations, more than anything to see what the enemy is talking about at any given time. I'll tell you that it's been quite fun listening the blowhards doing their hand-wringing and throwing out a myriad of excuses to why the Repugs lost the election last week in such dramatic fashion.

Anyway, today I flip to Rush on my way back from lunch and I notice that he's not quite his usual pompous, blowhard self. Then he starts talking about how he's been wondering, since 52% or more of the independent voters voted Dem this last election, if he has somehow contributed to the Rethug's loss and if he has been part of the ever growing divide in the country that he's noticed (you bet you have, Rush...you and the rest of the RW attack dogs). He then said he would like to sit down with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and discuss how they might be able to work together to close the divide and implement true conservative initiatives in the country that would be good for everyone, in a sense call a truce :wow:....he didn't say this in any sort of joking manner and seemed completely serious.

I had to go back to work at that point and couldn't hear what he had to say after the break, so I don't know if it was some sort of perverse joke or something, but if true...well boys and girls, hell hath truly frozen over. Either that or Rush sees the writing on the wall, that within a few short months or years of investigations that the RW and the Republican party may become decimated. I think he may realize that little boots and the whole corrupt Rep. gang in Washington has truly screwn the pooch and, as a result, the conservative party in this country may become irrelevant and may never recover....just my take on it.

Anybody else hear this? If not, Media Matters may have something on it later.

[Deep13]

1. They must really be scared.

Guess we should press the advantage and turn their retreat into a rout.

[karlrschneider]

2. Uh, "HE" would like to 'sit down with Reid and Pelosi..."???

Who the fuck does he think he is, anyway? Has he gotten elected to something other than Bigmouth Asshole of the Decade and I missed it?
...

[bluethruandthru]

11. Is he the official party spokesman..or should I say spocksman?

[maxrandb]

44. He suffers from delusions of adequacy n/t

[Lex]

Tell him to stick his truce up his considerable

ass.

[lcordero2]

3. hmmmmmmm...

That gets me to wondering if he was another "Armstrong Williams"

[bloom]

22. I've always thought he was

or at least - lately - the last couple of years - when it was so obvious the Republicans do that sort of stuff.


I think it's really suspicious.

If he wanted to do the country a favor - he would retire.

[Bluzmann57]

48. If he really wanted to do us a favor

He'd leave the country. Maybe head to Sudan and help out there, or maybe Haiti. Lots of poor people there as well. No, I'm afraid we're stuck with him.

[ComerPerro]

4. He wants US to compromise

now that his party doesn't have power, he wants us to sit down with him and meet his demands.

[Dr.Phool]

5. There's an old saying......

"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". I trust Lardball as far as I can throw him.

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Rush Limpjowls is the back end of the Trojan horse.

[Bucky]

32. Imagine the fitting way for him to sneak out of the horse once it's inside the Liberal City gates

I mean, assuming the hole is big enough.

[TheCowsCameHome]

60. His fat head would probably get stuck......................

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. C'mon. You fell for it. It's his same old stupid BS. Don't believe a word of it.

However, Pelosi and Reed should send him so flowers for helping Talent get knocked off in MO, thus giving the Dems a necessary win.

[peacebird]

7. "work together to close the divide and implement true conservative initiatives"

Work together in a bipartisan fashion to implement what the CONSERVATIVES want. Sounds like Rush thinks we should maintain the status quo - because isn't that EXACTLY what the Repugs and Bush told the Dems for years? You can work with us to pass OUR LEGISLATION or you can be obstructionists.

I say lets pass some good PROGRESSIVE legislation - in the best interest of our country - like raising min wage, getting affordable prescription drugs and seeing that everyone has health care.

[pnorman]

21. Sounds like DATE-RAPE to me.

n/t

pnorman

[XNASA]

8. He shouldn't be meeting with Reid or Pelosi.

He should be in prison.

[joeunderdog]

59. Deal or no deal? "NO DEAL, Howie!"

All kidding aside, this is an indication that the RW must know that they have seriously overplayed their hand. Rush never speaks off message (he can't--he's never had an original thought, ever) so you have to believe that the Pukes know some serious shit is going to come down. I don't think they thought that the Dems' win would come at all, much less be so overwelming. The tricks that the Pukes have been pulling are now obsolete, the backdoors are now closed and the noose is coming down. I think that all the contingencies that the RW thought would preserve their power failed them. Their hubris was their undoing, as it is in most cases of criminals who never can get enough. They are now in a situation in which "losing" does not just mean a veto, it means a conviction and jail time. THAT'S what they're afraid of.

[MuseRider]

9. I don't listen

in fact I doubt I have ever heard more than 10 minutes of Rush total but I would say about this that it is bullshit.

They are feeling left out and want back in. They want to appear like they are fair. Whatever, it is bullshit and they will be right back to their old selves soon.

[iconoclastic cat]

10. "Carry me across the river," begged the Scorpion to the Frog. nt

[Anarcho-Socialist]

13. He has zero credibility

There is no need to work with him.

[driver8]

14. Fuck Rush Limbaugh.

He has been responsible for so much hate with his lies and his bullshit.

He has spewed the Bush administration's propoganda for the past six years...and was still spewing it a week ago. Why should anyone think that this tub of shit is ready to work with the Democrats?

I wouldn't trust this asshole as far as I could throw him.

[shance]

15. What bulls**t. He's trustworthy like a scorpian that stings.

If he's claiming a mea culpa, hes just trying to climb on your back so he can find a good spot to strike again.

That's what people like him do. They can't help it, thats just who they are.

Genetic outcasts of nature who pathologically hate and use others for their own gratification and gain.

Leopards and ammoral haters like Rush never change their spots. Or if they do, it takes years in the Federal Pen. Other than that, they never change their ways. Although they'll cry wolf like he is now.

People like Rush play on peoples sympathies in order to position themselves for the kill.

Because they always strike back.

Always.

[AlinPA]

16. He will be spitting his hate tomorrow and will be the same as always.

Suggest you invest in a CD player for your car instead of getting your blood pressure up listening to those jerks.

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. Everyone needs to turn him off - and just make him go away.

He needs to be rendered visibly as insignificant as his teeny little life actually is. bye bye, Rush.....

[Hugin]

18. Sorry, Mr. Limpone... You talked yourself into the woodshed.

:spank:

[earth mom]

19. The bastard has proven himself to be a liar and unethical dirtbag.

Why would anyone believe him now?! :puke:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

20. I don't recall him being elected to either the Senate or the House.

In fact, I don't think he could get elected to the mosquito control board, seeing as they work with chemicals, and ummm, well, you know......

Amazing ego for a man of such little value.

[applegrove]

"Pendulum swing back fear" I would say.

[madmusic]

23. Just love that "give me hug while I stab you in the back" routine.

It's so cute.

Again, watch Glen Beck to see the new and improved GOP covert operation in progress.

[kevinmc]

24. I am waiting for his Commercial Sponser's to dump him ....

After he told his Moonbat's that he was lying to them for the last 12 years every commercial he is a spokesman for could be taken the same way.

[seabeyond]

25. F* him and F* the "christians" that now want to play nice after calling me

terrorist, unamerican, unpatriotic, not a christian, evil, immoral, not a good parent (family value party) and everything else they have called me

a huge

fuck yawl.....

[CrispyQ]

26. I may be able to forgive some of the backwash,

but not him. He's a hateful POS & I don't for one fucking second think he's changed. Asshole.

[tex-wyo-dem]

27. This could very well be just BS...

but I don't know if he would try to pull off a stunt like this knowing his audience demographics who only understand one thing...and that's attack the Democrats no matter what. He could lose a big part of his idiot ditto-heads saying stuff like this.

Curiously, he also made a couple of references to how his job is to gain as big of an audience as he could and bring in as much advertiser dollars as possible....which made me wonder if his ratings are sinking as fast as KKKarl Rove's reputation as an election genius.

[Bucky]

28. What truce is possible? He's always justified his cheap shots as fun parts of an entertainment show.

It would be like Saturday Night Live calling a truce on telling jokes. Okay, maybe that's a bad example. But it would be like if Leno or Letterman called a "jokes" truce or if MTV called a "music video" truce. Okay, the MTV example also doesn't apply. I'm losing track of my point.

My point is this: If you take away the name calling, the racist code words, and the cheap shot ridicule of everyone who thinks differently than him, Limbaugh doesn't have any show left. If he quits saying audacious things and questioning the patriotism of everyone who votes different from him, then he'd start losing ratings. His show lives on the red meat of induced outrage. Once he sees what polite and thoughtful criticism of differing viewpoints does to his ratings, he'll be back to playing the Jefferson's theme song in no time.

[bluerum]

29. Flush is irrelevant. He is, and always has been a RW talking points boy.

Nothing original or helpful to contribute. Mostly hate, agitation, and self-delusion.

I sense this as him making a move towards becoming some kind of congressional candidate.

It smells. He smells. Flush Rush.

[radfringe]

30. just like any other bully

slap him on the nose and it's a whole different song and dance

any bets to how long this would last? this blow-hole can't even go 5 minutes without bashing Clinton, Hillary or the Dems

[katinmn]

31. Maybe Rush realizes he's become irrelevant. I hope he and Coulter

disappear into obscurity.

I really, really hope Dem leaders ignore this pompous ass. He is not an elected leader and he does not set policy and they certainly don't need to sit down with him. They have more important things to do than make nice with Rush.

[Nikki Stone1]

33. Beware of freeps bearing gifts

That's all I got on this one.

[still_one]

34. He obviously wants to see if they will liberalize the drug laws for oxycontin

[Brazenly Liberal]

35. A couple of thoughts on this:

1. I'm not shocked to hear this. This idiot has never put forth his own actual viewpoint. He jsut says whatever brings in the money. A true rightwingnutradio whore. Whatever his pea-brained listeners want to hear. What difference would it make to him if he cozied up to the Dems? Why should he care which party he's lying about as long as the $$$ keeps rolling in?

2. I'm sure he DOES see the writing on the wall. Too bad, Rush. Boo freakin' hoo! You made your slimy bed, now lie in it. And STFU.

3. He's willing to meet with Pelosi and Reid? Gee, how magnanimous of him! But why on earth would they want to meet with a useless blowhard like him? Please. They have a loooooooong list of things to do already and saving his career had better not be close enough to the top to ever happen.

[Batgirl]

36. Isn't this just like when Wyle E. Coyote

gift-wraps up some kind of Acme explosive device, offers it to the Road Runner who promptly zips away, and then, well, we all know what happens next.

[tex-wyo-dem]

39. ...

:spray:

[mtnester]

37. Do I really NEED to tell the story of the Turtle and the Scorpion AGAIN?

OK, just the last line of the story then:

"It's my nature."

[TahitiNut]

38. Translation: He's been pissing into the wind ... and drowning.

Sir Rush of Analcyst, Baron of Oxycontin is irrelevant. He's yesterday. He belongs in an Unnatural History museum - along with the other coprolite exhibits. His lies are burying him. He can spew all he wants. Tell him to go fuck himself - sex with the only person he loves.

[Glorfindel]

49. "coprolite exhibits"!!!

when coprophage becomes coprolite, you get Rush Limpbaugh...

:rofl:

[TahitiNut]

51. "We are what we eat."

:silly:

[jokerman93]

40. Rush for Sale

Ahh. He's just sucking up to the new boss hoping to stay relevent and keep his gig. He's just a show biz guy after all...

And I won't mention the obvious because that would be an uncalled for slight to another honorable proffession.

In the past week the political theater in Amerika has been just about as good as it gets!
:popcorn:

[Gold Metal Flake]

41. I'll promise to think happy thoughts as I piss on his grave.

Otherwise, he is an enemy of free America now and forever.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

42. you always call for a truce when you are getting your

ass handed to you on a platter...

sP

[maxrandb]

43. Remember when Bugs Bunny was wrestling the Crusher?

Crusher extends his hand in friendship and the fans all yell, "No, Boo, Don't do it, No!"?

Bugs didn't take the bait, and neither will the Dems.

[SoCalDem]

45. He wants to keep his gig.

The drooling trolls who tuned in his show every day, are probably finding music more appealing these days..:)

he's ready to "play the other side of the fence" now. in hopes that he can pick up some left-leaning "fans"..

fat chance, loser..

take another pill :)

[librechik]

46. If I hear him on the radio, he's dead

If I see him on the street, same thing.

That thug is lucky he's not in jail.

He can save his begging for the scumbags who actually listen to his crap.

[rsdsharp]

47. Ol Rusty wants to protect

is own ass. Or more correctly, the twenty million a year he puts into his wallet. He's scared to death that the fairness doctrine will be reinstated. If it ever is (and it will take a Democratic majority in both houses AND a Democratic President), he knows it means the end of his gravy train, just as the repeal of the doctrine opened the door for him and his clones.

[Cass]

50. He basically wants Pelosi and Reid to do the bidding of the republican party.

He wants to sit down with Pelosi and Reid so they can implement conservative initiatives.

How very bipartisan of him. :sarcasm:

Who the hell is he? No one elected him for anything and, quite frankly, no one outside of the 23 percenters give a damn what he thinks.

Screw him and his conservative initiatives....they had 12 years to implement conservative initiatives and they went down in flames.

[NastyRiffraff]

56. Yeah, like Reid and Pelosi will give him the time of day

let alone "discuss conservative initiatives" with him.

He still doesn't get it. The country voted out the very people he was "carrying water" for. Those voters don't WANT his "conservative initiatives."

Rush, go away. Just go away. You're talking to the wind.

[warrens]

52. As long as I get to kick his teeth out

A truce sounds fine to me.

[Rosemary2205]

53. The latest right wing PR stunt.

yammer on about bi-partisanship or a truce and then squeal about being victims when the subpeonas start flying.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

54. I have two words for Rush

Fairness Doctrine.

[Cobalt Violet]

55. So he can destroy our party like he did his own.

No thanks.

[Individualist]

57. Darth Cheny quote is appropriate for that sewage scum:

"Go fuck yourself."

[tyedyeto]

58. And why would anyone trust this blowbag?

This might last a few hours, but can any of us see him following through on this?

NOT ME!

[KT2000]

61. His ridicule of Michael J. Fox

said it all.
He wants to sit down with Pelosi and Reid so they will pursue his agenda?

This guy does not have a clue that his antics gave the best view of what the RW is all about and America was repulsed.

He is in such deep doo doo that the only place for him is REHAB FOREVER.

[mitchum]

62. No quarter for that pig

[misternormal]

63. Rush is a RW shill, and a liar...

... I wouldn't believe a word that "Blow-tard" has to say...
