      Off topic, did limbaugh really say today that obama is attacking bankers and thereby, attacking the jewish community? Its bad enough he didnt condemn the horrific images of the teabagger morons that was essentially a slap in the face to every single holocaust survivor that is still alive and a travesty against those who have passed. Now, he says jews are the bankers. Is that not the same rationale hitler once used to condemn the jewish community in the midst of a depression prior to world war II? He is a disgusting piece of $(&%!

      I would consider his existence a running joke but he is just not funny enough to be considered a joke. For my fellows jews, I will just say we hate you Rush! Stop defending us by simultaneously being antisemitic. WE DONT NEED YOU TO DEFEND THE JEWISH COMMUNITY! If that was what you were trying to do? I thank keith for pointing this out to me tonight. I heard the Anti-defamation league already condemned limbaugh for the 20th time or so but i think that was one of the first times for being antisemetic. And jews are not all or even half bankers. If we were, israel would have an army of bankers instead of soldiers.

      And if you havent noticed, there are quite a few jewish doctors and lawyers and politicians in this country (just look at the president's staff.) How would you like me to say that most racist, fat, antisemitic, ignorant stooges are radio personalities? You wouldnt like that AT ALL now would you? I think the jewish community deserves an apology rush but i wont hold my breathe waiting for you because i know dbag conservatives never apologize and i may die of asphyxiation.

        When Limbaugh thinks of bankers, he thinks of Jews. He couldn't be more clear, in my opinion.

      At least she waited until after the election. I remember Obama getting tossed softball questions during the election.

          So Obama didn't get softball interviews while he was campaigning for President? You don't see a difference between having softball interviews during a campaign and after the candidate has already won?

          I can't recall Fox News asking softball questions but other networks did. It was so obvious and frequent, even Hillary Clinton noticed and Saturday Night Live ran a skit.

      He probably got the name "Downtown Scotty Brown" because he is a first class pimp. After all, he pimped out his two daughters at the end of his acceptence speech. "Oh. By the Way. My two daughters are availible".

          Maybe. I could be having some kind of psychotic episode. Maybe I really am "abeck in 10-0-C" and I'm just imagining I'm Les Philling. Except I have zero memory of "abeck in 1-0-c" (no offense intended to him if he's not me.) If I was having a brain related event, I wouldn't think I was, would I, like when you dream at night?

      Back in the 80's MTV gave one of their personalities the nickname Downtown Julie Brown to differentiate from another Julie Brown also on the network.

      Downtown Scotty Brown sounds like a takeoff on the name from MTV.

        Long before that was Seattle Supersonics star guard Downtown Freddie Brown. Great outside shooter. Sadly it was before the 3 point shot or he'd be better remembered today. Also it was before the set-for-life salaries so he had to get a straight gig after he retired. He's a banker now, I think.
