  Ah, the green eyes of envy.
  
  Once again, Rush, showing your envy of a man who has actually achieved success. Money doesn't do it, huh? It buys you trophy wives (for a while) and big, feminine looking knock-offs of really expensive antiques, but it doesn't buy you success. Just can't handle it, can you?

    Beat me to it...Rush seems to be jealous of this man. How could anyone have sooo many bad things to say about someone and admit they don't hate the other guy.
    Besides, when you really come down to it, this little black kid from the center of America can own a football team while this paragon of virtue isn't allowed. All that money, power and fame and he isn't ALLOWED to own a team. Now that has got to hurt. OUCH.
    
    Come on Rush, you know it.

    You nailed it bintx, the President speaks in complete, adult, intelligent, sentences and Limbaugh is jealous.

  That's how many listeners who listen to you for mere comic relief or a hate fix feel when your program ends, Rushbo.

  That's why I always give Rush a standing ovation at the beginning of his shows.

    I used to refer to something I do a few times a day as "taking a p!ss". From now on, I will refer to it as "giving Rush Limbaugh a standing ovation".

      I call it "holding Rush Limbaugh by the neck".

  Rush has finally reached the point where it isn't what will he say next, but what won't he say next. If these past two days prove anything, it's how exceedingly petty and desperate the man has become. He's a train wreck roaring towards a terrifying conclusion that nevertheless will be fascinating to watch from a distance.

  C'mon, Rush. So you want to be in the news desperately because Beck has out-crazied you. That remark sounds like it comes from a fifth grader. All that money, a new marriage and you're still bitter and feeling neglected. must be true that money can't buy happiness. So sad.

  No one can force anyone to give him/her a standing ovation, Limpy.
  
  You're just jealous because so many thousands of average citizens are willing to show their appreciation of the president's efforts, and the only standing ovation you get is at CPAC when you do your little bouncy bouncy dance.
  
  Contrary to what you've been saying, Limpy, there are citizens from all walks of life who clamor to attend President Obama's events, while CPAC, you know, only attracts a narrow segment of our population.

    D@mnit cuga - you beat me 'cause I was looking for a link. Here it is anyway, and it's from the 'fair and balanced' network:
    
    On the conference's third and final day, the conservative talk radio host was the headliner, and the crowd greeted him with an immense ovation.
