The only thing more revolting than Flush Limbo's racism, ignorance and steady stream of lies, is the fact that millions actually listen to this blatant fraud.
It makes one wonder about the viability of the homo sapien species.

The media has been very desirous to see a black quarterback succeed, which is why they gave the MVP to Steve McNair after he led his team to a 12-win season after playing with several sprains, a broken pelvis, an amputated right hand, no cartilage in any of his joints, three bullet wounds, third-degree burns over 90% of his body, and a splinter in his pinky.
Everyone knows Jon Kitna deserved it, because he praised God for a cartoonishly long time after every touchdown.

O'Neill accuses Bush in Iraq planning
Ex-Treasury chief says invasion strategy began in 2001
"And Suskind said there are documents from the first three months of 2001 to prove the administration was looking at ways to oust Saddam Hussein and what the future of Iraq's oil would be in a post-Saddam Iraq.
The book's author told Stahl that a Pentagon document titled "Foreign Suitors For Iraqi Oilfield Contracts" outlines areas of oil exploration.
"It talks about contractors around the world from ... 30, 40 countries and which ones have what intentions on oil in Iraq," Suskind said in the television interview.
In the book, O'Neill says he is surprised that no one on the National Security Council, which includes national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, asked why Iraq should be invaded at that time.
"It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying 'Go find me a way to do this,'" O'Neill told Suskind, according to the excerpt."
""I can't imagine that I am going to be attacked for telling the truth," O'Neill told Stahl when she pointed out the White House might say sour grapes for being fired are causing O'Neill to make his incendiary charges."

His children will be outed as bin Laden cousins, he'll suddenly have a history of alcoholism and dementia, and that's just the shit the Freepers will come up with.
Hey, any Eagles fans out there ought to be thanking the mighty* Detroit Lions for beating the Rams and giving the Eagles home field advantage.
I am definitely rooting for the Eagles.
*Yeah, "mighty Lions" is an oxymoron. They were 5-3 at home, though, including a win over the Packers. I just wish they weren't 0 for the century on the road.

IF the Eagles lose and McNabb plays poorly, count on every right-wing yahoo to come out with their usual "I-told-you-so". I mean, fucking count on it. Even if the Iggles win it all, they'll point to McNabb's stats and say the defense won it for him. Limbaugh and the usually level-headed Allen Barra will lead the charge.
I like this issue. It shows beyond doubt that there is just no pleasing the repugs. Engaging a repug in discourse is like talking to a lion about vegetarianism. It's a waste of time when all they're interested in is blood.

Again I'm not so sure he will. Bushco has been bleeding from a thousand cuts. O'Neil takes a big whack at Bushco and the war. Something that is hard to overlook.
Not being a psychic, but following trends, I would say look for more of these to hit the media over the next couple of months.
Things so big, and so from the inside that they can not be ignored.

FORMER TREASURY SECRETARY PAUL ONEILL SAYS INVASION OF IRAQ WAS PLANNED IN THE FIRST DAYS OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION LONG BEFORE 9/11, IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW SUNDAY ON "60 MINUTES"
Sat Jan 10 2004 09:12:37 ET
The Bush Administration began laying plans for an invasion of Iraq including the use of American troops within days of President Bush's inauguration in January of 2001, not eight months later after the 9/11 attacks as has been previously reported. That is what former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill says in his first interview about his time as a White House insider. O'Neill talks to Lesley Stahl in the interview, to be broadcast on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Jan. 11 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
"From the very beginning, there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go," he tells Stahl. "For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do is a really huge leap," says O'Neill.
O'Neill, fired by the White House for his disagreement on tax cuts, is the main source for an upcoming book, "The Price of Loyalty," authored by Ron Suskind. Suskind says O'Neill and other White House insiders he interviewed gave him documents that show that in the first three months of 2001, the administration was looking at military options for removing Saddam Hussein from power and planning for the aftermath of Saddam's downfall, including post-war contingencies like peacekeeping troops, war crimes tribunals and the future of Iraq's oil. "There are memos," Suskind tells Stahl, "One of them marked 'secret' says 'Plan for Post-Saddam Iraq.'" A Pentagon document, says Suskind, titled "Foreign Suitors For Iraqi Oilfield Contracts," outlines areas of oil exploration. "It talks about contractors around the world from...30, 40 countries and which ones have what intentions on oil in Iraq," Suskind says.
In the book, O'Neill is quoted as saying he was surprised that no one in a National Security Council meeting questioned why Iraq should be invaded. "It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying 'Go find me a way to do this,'" says O'Neill in the book.
Suskind also writes about a White House meeting in which he says the president seems to be wavering about going forward with his second round of tax cuts. "Haven't we already given money to rich people," Suskind says the president uttered, according to a nearly verbatim transcript of an Economic Team meeting he says he obtained from someone at the meeting, "Shouldn't we be giving money to the middle?"
O'Neill, who was asked to resign because of his opposition to the tax cut, says he doesn't think his tell-all account in this book will be attacked by his former employers as sour grapes. "I will be really disappointed if [the White House] reacts t

I like the Eagles. I don't think the Packers are capable of sustaining a high level of play. For those of you who didn't watch last week's game, Seattle was on the move and reasonably close to field goal range in overtime. If not for a nice defensive play/bad throw by Hasselbeck, they probably lose that game. At Lambeau.

“GOP REFUTES LIMBAUGH”
Palm Beach Post Editorial
Friday, January 9, 2004
On Wednesday, the very conservative Republican who is Florida's attorney general urged the Legislature to create a computer network that he believes will allow the state to better track abuse of prescription painkillers. On Wednesday, the very conservative Republican state senator who is sponsoring the bill urged the Legislature to do the same. On Wednesday, the state's drug czar -- who was appointed by the very conservative Republican governor -- urged the Legislature to do the same. All of them acknowledged that they were trying to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the very conservative talk-radio host who is under investigation for "doctor-shopping," fraudulently obtaining exessive amounts of prescription painkillers.
So were all these very conservative Republicans also "singling out" Rush Limbaugh? Roy Black, who represents the bombastic host, never has missed a chance to accuse Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer -- a Democrat -- of investigating Mr. Limbaugh strictly for political reasons. Yet when a Post reporter tried to ask about all the references to the case by Republicans, Mr. Black was unavailable. No surprise. For the past three months, Mr. Black and his client have tried to shift attention away from the issue -- prescription-drug abuse. Mr. Limbaugh is being singled out. Mr. Limbaugh's privacy is being invaded.
When The Post reported last week that doctor-shopping is a charge that is rarely filed in Florida, Mr. Black -- available that time for comment -- claimed that the statistics supported his charge of unfair treatment. In fact, the statistics do nothing of the sort. For one thing, the whole issue of prescription painkiller abuse is relatively new. OxyContin abuse began getting the government's notice in Florida just three years ago. The next year, the Republican-controlled Legislature -- singling out Mr. Limbaugh? -- made doctor-shopping a felony. Also, it's obviously easier for prosecutors to pick up on cases where a person has died because a doctor overprescribed such pills. One only can imagine Mr. Limbaugh's reaction if, say, Chelsea Clinton were the target of a similar investigation and her parents tried to shift the focus. The reality is that Sen. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, not Mr. Krischer, said the state is in "crisis mode" on the issue of painkiller abuse.
Estimates are that the state is losing $1.3 billion from the Medicaid program because of related fraud. The number of doctors who engage in such abuse is low, but the effects can be deadly and devastating. Doctor-shopping is part of the problem. The Republican Legislature says so.

Go Iggles!
And speaking of Iggles, what we need now is a Bald Iggle. The Al Capp creation from Lower Slobbovia that, when anyone looked into its sad brown eyes, was forced to tell the truth. If it existed and we could get one in Rush's studio Monday, we might get the following commentary:
"My friends, (gulp!) I must tell the truth. I've been lieing to you all these years. I've promoted the Bush economic policies on this program only because they greatly benefited somebody like me who makes $38 million a year. I've saved bundles from the tax cuts. As for you, you're lucky to have saved $100 a year on those tax cuts, but you ended up paying much more as the Republican Congress shifted costs to the local level, forcing increased in fees and property tax hikes on you. The only economic policy Bush has for you is to lower your earning ability while making you pay more for necessities.
"As for Donavan McHabb. He's really quite a good athlete. In truth, I only attacked him because I wanted you listeners to feel jealous that he is succeeding while you wallow in your ineptitude. You like to feel that you aren't getting ahead because minorities are being given breaks, when you haven't been working as hard as you could, or got educated enough, to make those breaks happen for you. You like to think of yourselves as victims, and I massage your feelings, because if you actually worked hard you wouldn't have time to waste on me in the middle of the afternoon.
"And yes, I'm addicted to pain-killing drugs. I get them by doing business with pushers like my ex-maid's husband, and by seeing so many doctors that some are bound to write the prescriptions I want. But I also have expressed disgust for pill-poppers in the past. So in keeping with my past opinions, I'm turning myself in to authorities and pleading guilty to whatever prison sentence I deserve. That means this is my last broadcast. My advice to you. Get off your fat asses and do something good for yourselves and society. You lazy ignoramouses!

Rush is broadcasting with at least 50,000 watts. You'd thus need, well, somewhat less, but not much less, to drown him out. If you're putting out 50,000 watts, that's about 400 amps at normal line voltage (120 volts), and you certainly need more, much more going in (that pesky 2nd Law, doncha know). A lot of power and that doesn't include the antenna. Or the FCC; it's against the law to do what you propose; which means you'd have to do it from a moving vehicle, blah, blah, blah.
A better idea might be a letter-writing campaign to his sponsors. Or flood the FCC with complaints. But maybe not. I only know about the engineering.
