Obamacare: What Can Go Wrong? (priceless line by Rush Limbaugh)
www.RushLimbaugh.com ^ | August 20, 2009 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 08/31/2009 5:14:00 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

I see things very clear. Obama's health care plan will be, one, written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it -- that would be John Conyers -- his health care plan will be, two, passed by Congress that has not read it; number three, signed by a president who smokes; four, funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes; five, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese; and, six, financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong with this?

Written by an unknowledgeable,
Passed by Congress unread
Signed by a smoking president
Funded by a tax cheat Treasury chief
Overseen by an obese Surgeon General
financed by a broke nation.

Is that about right?

It’s not original to him. He took it from another writer, forget who.

Courtesy has it that - if one can't identify the 'author' of whatever, one shouldn't be too quick give its credit someone unknown.

I can pretty guarantee if its not Rush's quote, he would have surely given its due to its author.

Rush Limbaugh.....

Absolutely right!!! This is a priceless line. It's going out tonight or tomorrow to my favorite libturd targets, including my idiot liberal brother & even moreso sister-in-law. I love to watch them fume & sputter especially when Rush is the author, and then watch them try to come back with some nonsensical liberal response.

He is getting into great shape...to last longer. He’s having a ball!

Oscar Wilde said something similar about journalists:

There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community. By carefully chronicling the current events of contemporary life, it shows us of what very little importance such events really are. By invariably discussing the unnecessary, it makes us understand what things are requisite for culture, and what are not.

This phrase has been out there a couple of weeks. Look at the first post.
Could still be Rush’s but I think it was Betsy McCaughey.

Clever, this.

As one who has worked for the government for many decades, I can promise you...

Repeating, I PROMISE you...

...that you don NOT want the government running your health care.

That procedure actually figures in a current movie, Spread (Ashton Kutcher and Anne Heche). About a high-priced Hollywood lawyer and her live-in boy-toy. Life imitating art imitating life. Believe it or not. I'd never heard of it before. Guess I just hadn't messed around in enough high-priced low places before!

I stand corrected...but I do wonder if Rush hadn’t given the credit to Ron Hart when he used the quote.

More prevalent courtesy has it that you should not correct others unless you are sure of your correction. See Post #28. You are both snotty and erroneous.

Good question.

Interesting excerpt re other countries' health systems from Revolutionary Wealth (April 2006) by Alvin and Heidi Toffler written within a span of 12 years and published during the "good times" of rising / bubbling up real estate and financial markets, even before the Democratic takeover of the Congress, soon to be followed by economic and financial crash :
