      Based on the actual dictionary definition of "stupid", you are most definitely stupid.

          Lord, you realize that the people who have perpetuated this ridiculous story would not be able to do their programs without a teleprompter, right? They are reading their teleprompter jabs directly from their own teleprompters.

          Get a new line, squawks.

              What heat? This is normal late summer weather for us. In fact, it's only 97 right now . . . pretty cool.

              You have to be pretty strong to live here, squawks. You'd never make it.

                Rush has been using an annoying gimmick for twenty years, slapping papers back & forth in front of the mic. It's RADIO. So the bonehead listeners are nodding to themselves "yep, it must be true. He's got it written down right there. Hear that?" So he's got printouts & notes, but lucky it all filters through his warped, drug-damaged, walnut sized brain.

          It's difficult to make it through law school if one can't speak without a TelePrompTer.

          Learning to speak in front of an audience with a minimum of notes, relying mainly on one's brain power, is part of the process of becoming a lawyer.

          President Obama was editor of the Harvard Law Review.

          What outstanding academic accomplishments can Palin tout?

          Maybe you didn't see the way President Obama wiped the floor with the republicans in the health care debate.

          Forget it. Even if you did, you wouldn't give him credit for it.

          Did it ever cross your mind to wonder why the republicans were making so many excuses when the president invited them to another televised debate?

        Let us all remember that this is the guy who got caught with an illegal Viagra Prescription in his possession while traveling without a wife present. So speaking of morals, just why should I believe a word this racist says. Amazing that he is so insanely jealous of this bright, successful President we have. But it is obvious his racism is showing! I expect Rush to go bonkers before Obama finishes his term. Of course the Obama scholastic record and his easy pass on the bar exam is driving this guy nuts. When it comes to accomplishments let us just make a comparison between Obama and Rush. My husband is a lawyer and the Bar Exam is no easy thing. But faced with a President with brains and a solid record of accomplishments, it just drives Rush bonkers. But most of all, Rush's comment that Obama's statement on his Christian faith was "evasive" is really sad. There is Scripture that mentions to price of mucking God's servants.

      Monday, Rush will claim that he never called Obama stupid.

      This is his "clever" way of calling Obama stupid without calling Obama stupid. It's the same bit Fox anchors and pundits use when they ask questions. "Is Obama Muslim? Some say he is."

BTW, did I ever mention that a friend's dad (who was former Assistant Dean at U-AZ College of Law) hoped I'd go into Law because I'd challenge the other students, with my knowledge of the English Language, and 'layperson' knowledge of Law?

      Rush, with just one 'if' you can put all of Paris into a bottle. You're down to arguing how many intelligence quotient points can dance on the tip of your tongue. Must be Friday, because you aren't this lazy earlier in the week.
