Rush Limbaugh Live Thread - 12/26/07

[PogySailor]

Jason Lewis(?) in for the big guy on the day after Christmas.

[PogySailor]

Getting the thread started late today. Working & lurking the rest of the afternoon.

Will Rush have a secret sit-down with Huckabee this week?

[PogySailor]

It wouldn’t be secret if we knew about it ahead of time ;-)

[don-o]

This joker talks 15 minutes and it already seems like three hours. Jeeze.

[coramdeo]

Lewis, filling in, has taken up where Rush left off in smashing Huckabee. Hopefully the word gets out to Iowa in time - anything less than a convincing first for the Huckster and he is toast.

[txradioguy]

Howdy everyone!

[txradioguy]

Lets hope not.

Listened through an hour of it Monday ~ Lewis seemed to have gotten all his text from three Free Republic threads on the matter.

He conveniently left out all the rebuttals ~

Lewis is so biased you'd think he was a Democrat in drag or something.

[PogySailor]

The last time he was in I gave up after about an hour. Give me Roger Hedgecock as a fill-in any day.

And I'm already sick of the 2008 election. It seems to have been going on since 2004.....

Rush Responds to Governor Huckabee
December 23, 2007

I don’t need to speak to Governor Huckabee. I saw his comments and accept them as honest, sincere and genuine.

What was somewhat stunning about all this is that NO ONE in the GOP field, including advisors and staff, could possibly misread my 19+ year career the way Gov Huckabee’s DC supporter did. Whoever said those things was essentially repeating the Democrat mantra of all these years: that I am just an entertainer, not an independent thinker, part of the Wall Street/DC axis. If it was someone on Governor Huckabee’s staff or support team, it was just silly, uninformed and thus curious.

Governor Huckabee’s campaign is engaged in identity politics at this moment, so I understand his advisor’s/supporter’s intent to put the focus on me rather than the substance of my commentary.

As for the Governor not knowing how to reach me...there are people on his Arkansas staff who know full well how to reach me. But that is not necessary to me. We’re not playing in a kindergarten sandbox here. We are all presumably adults.

Rush needs to get Andrew Wilkow to sub for him...and Mark Styen on the days that Andrew can’t.

[Sensei Ern]

Hey all!

[Just Lori]

Seattle’s own Kirby Wilbur (really good guy) is subbing for Sean today.

[coramdeo]

No, he got the Huckabee rebuttals in there. The only rebuttals I get from Huckabee supporters are (1) you are anti-evangelical Christian or (2) you are accepting the lies and half-truths of the MSM/ other campaigns /fill-in-the-blank. Rush’s experience was typical - you try to have an honest discussion of Huckabee’s record and you get a personal attack in return.

[Sensei Ern]

Jason Lewis is wrong.

1. As an evangelical Christian, I am insulted by his categorical assumptions about why many support Huck. (I support Hunter, but can vote for Huck in the general.)

2.The loss in 2006 was not because Repubs were voting lib. It is because many were turning out to be scoundrels, and the leadership tried to sweep it under the rug.

How can I say he is full of bovine excrement and still be civil?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Jason Lewis is pretty good.

[txradioguy]

Yeah I’ve heard Sean speak highly of him before.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Jason has been used by Rush exclusively since the Labor Day weekend. Maybe Rush knows something that others don’t.....

[txradioguy]

Merry Christmas sir. And Happy New Year!
