      Wonder how Rush is feeling about being dropped by WRKO in Boston because of falling ratings?

      expect more lunacy to compensate

      That "kid" is your boss, Jabba, and he's achieved more than you ever will.

      On a side note - everyone should go to Huffpo to see pictures of Rush's NYC digs up for sale. Hilarious. What a closet queen.

        My thoughts, exactly. I guess rush was attempting to get in touch with his feminine side when he had the place decorated. Looked like a French naughty house, except worse.

      In answer to Rush's question, two things: 1) the President does not "run this country," Rush, read your Constitution and 2) better than I felt with a 55 year old, spoiled, irresponsible frat-brat in that position for 8 years.

      Yea, Rush, Obama's just a kid...that's why we should have elected a half-senile old crank like John McCain and his beauty queen assistant.

      BTW, Rush, Obama has more brain power than you had even before you became addicted to Oxycontin.

      Green is not Rush's color. Many people will view this as another race related comment. They wouldn't be wrong in doing so. There appears to be a racial undertone here. When Clinton was president he was only 47. I don't recall rush calling him a kid. But when has any grown man ever been referred to as a kid or man child? During the days of Jim Crow the word "boy" was used quite a bit to describe grown black men. So the racial tone is definitely present. But this behavior is common among people who are simply jealous. Rush may be under the realization that while he may be the "titular leader" of the GOP, he will never be the official leader of anything. Meanwhile, someone who he would normally feel superior to has publicly stepped into a role that makes him superior to Rush in all social circles. A benchmark has been set that not even Rush can buy his way into.

        Expect Rush's water carriers to come here any minute and call you a racist for calling their hero Rush a racist. However, your comments regarding Rush's undertone are 100% correct. Rush uses code words and his audience knows exactly what he is trying to say in this clip.

          Oh, yes, in order to be "racist" the comment has to seem "hurtful," to k1dork.

        You're right. And, given Rush's penchant for progressively defining deviancy down, it won't be too long before he actually calls the President of the United States, "boy."

      I wonder if Limpy has read ThinkProgress post on 3/2/2010? I doubt it. Tom Pauken is a former Texas GOP Chairman.

      "George W. Bush might have made a terrific Major League Baseball commissioner, but he was a lousy president of the United States. [...]

      The Republican Party needs to become, once again, a party guided by basic conservative principles. We need to think about more than just the next election — or what the polls say we should do. Instead, we need to make decisions based on what’s good for our country in the long term.

      In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Pauken says that Bush, even when he was younger, never seemed particularly interested in the “issues”; he was always more into baseball and seemed “pushed” into politics."

      So, not wanting to correct 'all knowing', I Wikipedia'd POTUS and according to the phony birth records he was born in 1961...aware that 'all knowing ' has always been academically and factually challenged...this would make this POTUS' 49th year....but like anyone I'm sure he appreciates a few years being knocked off his age! Rush, nice job!

      Isn't this what GWB said to liberals about invading Iraq? The major difference between then and now is that the money that will be spent on HCR will help to improve the health of the American people as opposed to sending our money to provide universal health care to the Iraqi people.
