sure, opinions are opinions...but some seem rational, worthy of thought.
others are stupid, commercial, and partisan. i don't think i'd look to
rush's baby brother for my rational opinions. that guy's simply
shovelling some more of the same partisan ****e his brother spews, in
the safety of his own friendly ****pile. i particularly liked this bit:

"LOPEZ: What was his ultimate Crime against Liberty?

(David) LIMBAUGH: At this point — and the list of infractions expands
daily — it seems to be a toss-up between the unapologetic bankrupting of
the federal government and the imposition of a universal health-care
system that represents a systemic cancer on our liberties, not to
mention our medical system and our treasury."

here's your guy's complete repertoire...

Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack Obama (Regnery
Publishing, August 2010)

Bankrupt: The Intellectual and Moral Bankruptcy of Today's Democratic
Party (Regnery Publishing, September 2006)

Persecution: How Liberals are Waging War Against Christians (Regnery
Publishing, October 2003)

Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice
Department (Regnery Publishing, March 2001)

....and btw, "Regnery" is apparently a joke among reputable publishers
and authors!

c'mon Dave...you can do better.

LOL. Yeah, right. He has chronicled things that have happened thus
far. Yeah, like your guy (a flaming leftist) and this guy (a flaming
rightis) have opinions. That is all I was trying to purvey.

Hope you are buttoned up for the upcoming storm.

Be well.

Oh, forgot to say: Try not to kill the messenger.

You gotta laugh at his style, however. This paragraph, in particular:

" I am neither accusing President Obama of having committed high
crimes and misdemeanors nor advocating his impeachment. Many of us
were preoccupied with such pursuits during the Clinton high-crimes
era, for which I don’t apologize. But I’d rather focus on the more
realistic goal of alerting people to Obama’s egregious personal
behavior and policies as we try to turn this nation around in the 2010
and 2012 elections. Having said this, intellectual honesty compels me
to confess that some of Obama’s audacious and shocking abuses of power
could arguably constitute impeachable offenses were we less apathetic
about the Constitution and the rule of law, but I am certainly not
advocating going there, if for no other reason than it would likely
backfire and enhance Obama’s popularity as a sympathetic victim. One
example is his pledging of $140 billion to the IMF not only without
executive authority, but in contravention of legislative directives.
Another is his four cabinet secretaries’ sending simultaneous letters
to Arizona senator Jon Kyl threatening to cut off Arizona’s stimulus
funds because Kyl suggested that Obama freeze stimulus spending due to
the failure of stimulus money to stimulate anything besides debt. This
is incredibly abusive stuff — an administration threatening to
withhold federal money to punish an entire state because one of its
senators expressed an opinion they deemed critical. This is what I
mean by “Crimes against Liberty” — it refers to Obama’s policies and
actions that are systematically undermining our liberties, to his
bankrupting the nation, and to his undermining our national security.
The book abounds with further examples."

Paraphrased, little brother is saying:
"I'm not accusing him of treason, although I could. But I won't, but
if I was, I'd mention this, and this, and this. But I won't because
I'm intellectually honest, so it does no good to mention this, and
this, and this. But I won't mention these, because they are in my
book."

Um, please explain that bit - it may be _called_ "a joke" by its competition,
but it would be no less "a joke" than any of the other similar imprints from
them (ala Threshold from Simon and Schuster, Sentinel/Penguin, whose senior
editor is/was? from Regnery, etc.). I'm not defending or attacking or making
any comment about Limbaugh's book because I haven't read it (and I have
intention of reading it).

IAC, just because a publisher publishes books of a certain political leaning, it
doesn't mean it is, in fact, "a joke." I'd say that publishers who publish such
(whether right or left-leaning) are much less of "a joke" than those who publish
the latest romance novel from Jackie Collins - of course, YMMV. "The young,
widowed Contessa looked longingly at the pool boy's rippling muscles as they
glistened..." is a hell of a lot easier, publishing-_business_-wise than "Obama
(or Bush or the GOP or the Dems or...) is/was a complete and utter ****-up and
here's why:...."

So, which house has intention of publishing the forthcoming "Cracker
Guide to the Publishing Industry"?

yet another amusing read.
