Among other things done at the teleconferenced meeting,FoxNews executives,Rush,white house aids,RNC reps,and dozens and dozens of connected republicans, shape a talking points memo for the week and they stick to it pretty well.So well,it`s now called the "right wing echo chamber"
And Rush is a big part of that.

The amazing thing is that most of the people duped into thinking conservative media is genuinely independent ,don`t have a clue as to who Grover Norquist is or his roll in shaping conservative talking points.

One the coolest things the Daily Show does,are these talking points montages where almost the exact same phrasing comes out of eight different talking heads, over and over and over.It`s almost creepy how each pundit repeats the same thing,like robots,but Jon Stewart turns it into comedy gold.

If a media outlet is either "liberal" or "conservative", it is not "independent" by definition.

And, by that definition, I doubt there are any "independent" media outlets in this country.

If they don't have a vote, why would anyone, for even a minute consider giving them any voice?

But, of course "The Media" does what their owners, ( Big Military and Propaganda Companies ) tell them to. Either they do it out of their interest in selling more drugs and weapons or they do it because they're getting paid to.

Given that Limbaugh is a drug addict, I'm sure he's too stoned to care.

Al Franken!

Not only did he fail to pay his worker's compensation insurance, he failed to file his corporation's tax returns. But hey it was his accountants fault.

Don't get me started on Al Franken....

Of course not, even if they proved beyond any reasonable doubt that he has totally stopped taking the drugs, you would still come on here and call him a drug addict. Of course you have stated many time that facts don't mean anything to you. Then you wonder why no one believes anything you post...go figure.

Ahhhh now thishereboi ,has become yet another arbitor of credibility and truth,here on CM.

We`re truly blessed .

So Rush is still on the wagon,eh?.Then why does he accuse the "MEDIA",....of slowing down his tapes,to make it seem like he`s slurring?

Of course,giggling like a kid when Gerry Garcia passed away from drug use,doesn`t make him an ugly asswipe hypocrite.Now does it?

*NEVER* trust a Junkie.

That's sort of the point of "ONE DAY AT A TIME".

You're an ADDICT.

You can choose TODAY to not use, but you're still and ADDICT.

*JERRY* Garcia, requiescat in pace. ( 1-Aug-1942 - 9-Aug-1995), named after Jerome Kerns ( 27-Jan-1885 - 11-11-1945 ).

Kerns was an American composer who wrote around 700 songs, including such classics as "Ol' Man River", "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man", "A Fine Romance", "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "All the Things You Are" and "The Way You Look Tonight". His career spanned dozens of Broadway musicals and Hollywood films from 1902 until his death.

Garcia was a junkie, too. But he died trying to get clean. Garcia's hairclippings had more talent than Rush

Remember, Rush failed in radio in the '70's until he could imitate Morton Downey Jr's act. At the same time, they needed a 'Minister of Propaganda'. ( How else to make the election of Bush 41 believable? )

He was good-enough, so he got the gig. I mean... Jesus on a fucking pogo stick.. .He even ripped off "Ditto-Heads" from "Dead-Heads!"

It's not so much that he is an addict, or recovering addict, it's that he spent years advocating a "no mercy" policy toward drug addicts while he was abusing them himself.  Hard to feel any sympathy for him.  Especially because if he had not been caught, and if it had been someone like Franken you know the bloated bastard would never let the issue die.

I was merely pointing out that it wouldn't matter to Bipolar if he was or wasn't. He will still claim he was a drug addict. But at least he left Bush out of his post. Shows he might be making progress.
