      I'm assuming it took him so long to think of a word for the First Lady because he had to think of something not racist.

      Oh wait, he doesn't see color. Nevermind.

      I fault Limbaugh for his offensive words, but I also fault NBC for posting this part of the interview. I think they have an obligation to deny him a venue to spout such hatred as he displayed with that word association.

        I disagree. The more moderate people that are exposed to this jerk, who will then realize this this guy is the voice of the right, it will only help the Democrats, and America, in the long run.

          I fault NBC for not asking for his associations with "Dominican Republic."

          I agree with you Eddie, it would be shameful for NBC to pick out Rush's most self depreciating expressions. The world needs to see this man's true colors. He does influence a lot of voters. He does instigate and promote political discord in this country. I wish his followers would realize that is what he is all about. Without political discord, he would not have a job. He is not looking out for them in anyway, like they like to claim. Nor is Glenn Beck.
          (depreciating? Help I can't think of the right word.)

      Could you imagine if NBC or any other network had allowed, lets say Bill Maher, to spew word association hatred for George W. Bush? That would have been the story for 100 days.

      Here, it's a "Today Exclusive." D!cks!

        I don't know why they even bring him on. All they're doing is legitimizing him. And you know it's going to be a softball interview because Rush wouldn't do it otherwise.

      "Great comedy has to have an element of truth in it"

      No wonder no one ever laughs at his 'jokes' (but laughing at him...)

        He said that, in all seriousness, as if what he said, was a great example, of great comedy. What a complete example of delusionment.

        He has such beady, scary eyes. He looks and sounds like pure evilness.
        He had to look away, when answering her about, if for a moment, he thought it was great, about the first black man being elected president. "Yes but I got over it quickly." What a phony.

        Just ask his three ex-wives.

        PS - does anyone else see the humor in a guy who's so fixated on anal sex trying to buy a football team called the Rams????

      Rush was pretty good, maybe I should start listening to him. At least he has the guts to appear in a venue he knows is not a fan of his. Perhaps Obama should take a lesson from him. But Obama prefers a safe haven and softball questions.

        And you prefer a Faux News Channel paycheck, even at the price of constantly embarrasing yourself at this website.

      Rush mentions that Beck is a voice for the conservatie movement, but Beck doesn't see himself as conservative.

      I thought Beck believes he is an independent, with Libertarian views.

      Who's telling the truth, Limbaugh or Beck?
