Rush Limbaughs statement. A virtuoso performance
You know I have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life. So I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication.
"I first started taking prescription painkillers some years ago when my doctor prescribed them to treat post surgical pain following spinal surgery.
OK. then, lets recap. He says he's always tried to be open and honest about his life. Therefore he is now "admitting" hes been addicted to drugs for 6 years. And the only reason he is admitting it know is because he got caught.
"Immediately following this broadcast, I am checking myself into a treatment center for the next 30 days to once and for all break the hold this highly addictive medication has on me. The show will continue during this time, of course, with an array of guest hosts you have come to know and respect.
"I am not making any excuses. You know, over the years athletes and celebrities have emerged from treatment centers to great fanfare and praise for conquering great demons. They are said to be great role models and examples for others. Well, I am no role model. I refuse to let anyone think I am doing something great here, when there are people you never hear about, who face long odds and never resort to such escapes. They are the role models. I am no victim and do not portray myself as such. I take full responsibility for my problem.Yes I have a huge drug habit I've been hiding for years, whcih inluced numerous ilelgal drug buys in the parking lot of a denny's. After trying to hide it from the public, the story finally broke and I am forced to admit im a junkie. But dammit, I'm not a hero!!
Don't worry Rush, "hero" is not the first word that comes to mind.
"At the present time, the authorities are conducting an investigation, and I have been asked to limit my public comments until this investigation is complete. So I will only say that the stories you have read and heard contain inaccuracies and distortions, which I will clear up when I am free to speak about them.
"I deeply appreciate all your support over this last tumultuous week. It has sustained me. I ask now for your prayers. I look forward to resuming our excursion into broadcast excellence together."
Heres some of his broadcast excellence:
And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.
Amen.....
Thats fucking amazing. (nothing like an easy fucking joke!)
WASHINGTON (Hollywood Reporter) - The Federal Communications Commission decided that U2 singer Bono's utterance of an obscenity during this year's broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards did not constitute a violation of the nation's broadcast indecency rules.
On Monday, the government agency's Enforcement Bureau rejected complaints by the Parents Television Council and others that Bono's use of the phrase "this is really, really f---ing brilliant" failed to meet the test for indecency. The bureau ruled that Bono's indiscretion was so "fleeting and isolated" that it did not run afoul of the rules.
It's amazing how quickly conservatives will sell out their credibility to cover for Bush. Syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker:
What Kay really says in his report is that he and his inspectors have found "dozens of WMD-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations during the inspections that began in late 2002."
And that's just the beginning of a laundry list of findings that should chill a vampire, including a clandestine network of laboratories suitable for chemical and biological warfare research and a prison lab complex possibly used in human testing of biological agents. ...
Surely before the war, those circumstances posed a threat, perhaps even imminent, that if allowed to flower would have provided
OK lets recap her logic:
If we let Saddam continue with his programs he would have become an imminent threat, so that made him an imminent threat.
I got this from Bush's "official blog". The thing is hilarious.
Help the President find the leaker.

That was easy. Cut and paste and hand it out at the next cabinet meeting. Problem solved.

"We have to look at people who they are today, not what they may have done wrong in the past," Hatch told the National Press Club Friday. "There isn't a person in this room or anywhere else in the world who is perfect, who has lived perfectly."
posted without comment.
Liberal Media at it again.
I just flicked past MSNBC's ahrdball and who did Matthews have on asking him the questions of the day?
G. Gordon Liddy. A convicted felon who gives people tips on how to kill federal agents (..""They've got a big target on there: 'ATF.' Don't shoot at that because they've got a vest on underneath that. Head shot, head shots."...kill the son of a bitches.." )and urging people to not register their guns (a crime) on his radio show.
There they are chatting about california recall, the Bush leak. My jaw dropped.
Protests over the game "Ghettoopoly". Here is the AP article, after I put it through the ebonics tranlator:
Yo buss dis. A 'Ghettopoly' board game be held by a demonskrator durin a protes outside an Urban Outfitters sto in Philadelphia, Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2003. Many in de black hood be outraged ovuh de 'Ghettopoly' game, sold by de retail chain Urban Outfitters, dat has 'playas' actin as pimps an' game cards readin 'You gets yo whoe hood addicted to crack. Collect $50...' Black clergymen say de game, de braincrum snacha uh a Pennsylvania man, should be banned. (AP Photo/Mark Stehle) Sheeit!
Idiot loose in Philly…
Notice he’s a “former U.S. Marine turned screenwriter”
Refresher course for the jarhead:
Congress (not ESPN) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Bill O'Lielly meltdon watch.
He goes on NPR to hock his piece of shit book and they, gasp, actually ask him about the fact that he's a liar.
he has a meltdown. Go listen (forward to the last 5 minutes)
and the classic showdown between him and Franken is here
O'lielly explodes at him after Franken literally cuts him to ribbons.
Whatta bunch of goddamned crybabies.
Post has 3 articles about the "controversial" Home Run call last night
Daily News had it on the freaking cover. You'd think the world ended.
and the interview with the brain dead douchebag fan was priceless.
Josh, clad in jeans and a black-and-gray sweatshirt, reached over the railing, insisting he did so in self-defense.
Yeah. You leaned over the railing with your glove extended to protect yourself. Whatever....
Speaking of Douchebags:
Steinbrenner said afterward: "You were there, you saw it. I wasn't very comfortable."
Gee George, I didn't see you complaining about the phantom tag in 99 or when that little snot caught a fly ball that was incorrectly called a HR in the 96 series against Baltimore. The little shit commits fan interference, for which he should have been ejected from the park,he'sd hes a New York hero, going on Kathie Lee, and getting announced to cheers every night at the park.
You seemed pretty comfortable then you scumbag.
I watched an interview with some drunk mullet headed goon last night insisting that the ball hit his glove, then they showed the replay again (they treated it like the freaking Zapruder film) and the mullethead was looking in the complete other direction.
And more importantly, even if it was a foul ball, the sox won the game by 3 runs. If itll keep the entire New York fan base from sucking there thumb and wetting there pants (and quite possibly doing a hula hula dance) over it, then change the final score from 5 -2 to 4-2.
Either way, SOX WIN.
Gee, I guess I wanna find out who committed treason in my administration…..
"I don't know if we're going to find out the senior administration official," Bush said. "I don't have any idea. I'd like to. I want to know the truth."
But, Bush said, "This is a large administration and there's a lot of senior officials."
As a fellow blogger pointed out, what would be the reaction if Bush said after 9/11:
"I don't know if we're going to find out who killed all those Americans in New York and Washington," Bush said. "I don't have any idea. I'd like to. I want to know the truth."
But, Bush said, "International terrorism is a large thing, and there's a lot of terrorists."
Sox win game one. All is right with the world.
Theyll blow it of course. But its good to get at least one win.
Welcome to the world of a Red Sox fan.
I'm steadily losing respect for John Kerry. I understand that primary politics is all about attacking the front runner, who happens to be Dean. It can get nasty. George Bush calling Trickle down economics Voodoo economics(well actually he was right, but then when Reagan named him as VP Bush whored out completely and supported it), That jackass Lieberman talking about the Dean depression, or how Dean will take us into the political wilderness (as if Democrats are doing so well already).
But Kerry has truly gotten nasty. I'm talking Karl Rove, Lee Atwater nasty.
Calling Dean a Yankee fan.
And now Kerry is completely whoring himself out by taking on the Sox theme of Cowboy Up. Now Kerry will have a "Cowboy Up for Kerry" effort.
It may sound petty, but Kerry just lost my vote.

Sox Vs. Yanks.
Cowboy up.
I fond that if I expect the sox to lose it makes everything go much smoother. That way if they win its a nice surprise.
Its is right now 5 to 2 in the seventh. If the sox blow this game im going to say bad words.

Had my first Howard Dean for america meeting last night. Interesting. This whole grassroots volunteering may be fun.
From the responsibility era.
Republican Congressman Cass Ballenger who admitted to having "segregationist feelings" toward a black congresswoman, has ended his marriage of 50 years.
No, its not because she liked the darkies. It was because of the towel heads!
He blames Muslims.
And he also blames the fact that his wife could no longer accept bribes, I mean gifts, from lobbyists.
I personally blame it on the fact that he's a racist duechebag.

Don't mess with Boston fans. We're tough.
Pedro and Zito tonight. Pray.
WBZ-TV4 Sports reports that Oakland pitcher Tim Hudson was "totally smashed" and got tossed out of Club Q in Boston (located above "Hennessy's of Boston," off Faneuil Hall) Friday night along with Barry Zito. Involved in a barroom brawl, Hudson swung at a bartender and mixed it up with fans, it took 6 to 8 bouncers to remove the uncooperative Hudson from the premises at 12:30am. He is rumored to have been hurt in the fight, and this may be the reason he left the game early today.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle "It was a big melee. He was throwing haymakers,'' said the security guard, who spoke on the condition his name not be used. "Honest to God, he's 160 pounds and it took eight big guys to hold him back,'' the staff member said of Hudson. "It was five minutes of mayhem.''
Conservatives defending the indefensible.
The Conservatives are out in force to do everything they can to get rid of the CIA leak scandal
First Bush when asked talks about how he is against all leaks, thus changing the subject.
Some conservatives are making this about Wilson and how partisan he is. As if it matters.
Some are arguing about the statute and whether or not it applies. Doesn’t change the facts.
Novak changing his story again and again to confuse the issue.
Democrats are being “Partisan” about it. Irrelevant.
The WSJ says the real issue is the fight between the CIA and the WH. No its not, its about leaking a CIA agents name and endangering her life…..
This has been officially coined in the blogosphere as the Chewbacca defense.
Quoting from South Park, here is Johnnie Cochran:
Ladies and gentlemen of the supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: (pulling down a diagram of Chewie) this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. That does not make sense! (jury looks shocked)
Why would a Wookiee -- an eight foot tall Wookiee -- want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!
But more importantly, you have to ask yourself: what does that have to do with this case? (calmly) Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense!
Look at me, I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense.
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating the Emancipation Proclamation... does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
