Smokey Robinson will be the musical guest.
They must be buds.
I mean for Rush to help Jay's show. It is almost like Rush joining the 'other side'. It is almost as big as Dylan selling out...
Here’s my “Green Car Challenge” for Leno (and Gore and a whole bunch of other celebrities that like to tell the Little People what they should drive). Let’s see him drive 500 miles on a normal road full of normal cars in a little green econobox. When he’s done, let’s see what his gas mileage was.
Leno needs to create an audience and by having El Rushbo on will surely create that audience. I noticed that his ratings tanked when he had that fat POS Moore on last week. I suspect the track is completely round so the libs can stay on the track without fear of running into the left wall.
Top Gear does it better.
Sorry Rush, some of us do like gasoline-electric hybrids. I have one - a 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned.
With all his 'Classic Cars' (major gas guzzlers) and Harleys his 'carbon footprint' is the size of Montana.
Is Jay going to scrap the hundreds and hundreds of fuel guzzling classic cars and machinery he has amassed? The guy has a jet powered motorcycle for Gosh sakes!
Rush will boost Leno’s ratings but this appearance doesn’t do Rush any harm. He looks good on a TV screen and people who normally known nothing about him (except what Brooks and Gergen, et al tell them) will get to see Rush and hear Rush for themselves.
“By the time Rush gets behind the wheel of the zero-emission vehicle...”
For the n-millionth time, it’s not a freakin “zero-emmision vehicle” (unless it’s emitting Obama’s) - you’re getting emissions, they’re just coming from whereever the hell you’re making the electricity.
If all the juice is coming from nukes or hydro, okay - you can make a case for zero emissions. But the way the electric grid works, most of that electricity is being generated by burning coal, and with the power losses on transmission, and the effeciency of motors that turn electricity to power, I’d really be curious how much (if any) emissions are even diminished.
I wouldn’t watch this show even if Rush Limbaugh was on as a guest. Now, I *might* watch it if he were a guest host.
Jay Leno seems like a nice guy, but he is a lib, and uses his guest selections and content to push liberalism. I don’t know if I have ever watched a whole show.
Rush will brag about the carbon he’ll use drive the 7mpg Maybach to the airport and fly EIB 1 to California to drive a “green car”.
At least Rush will be able to afford that car, most Americans can not afford the price tag of those cars, let alone any kind of car now.
I am much looking forward to electric cars. No pollution. Few moving parts. I don’t have to screw around with oil changes or leaks in the cooling system. No motor drone. You get a wonderfully quiet ride. TONS of torque and fast 0-60mph times and quarter mile ETs.
Bring it on! I can’t wait!
That said, we are going to need a hell of a lot more nuclear powerplants and a huge infrastructure for recharging these cars away from our homes, before electric cars have a snowball’s chance in hell of being practical.
I don’t fear a conversion to electric cars at all, but powering them with coal-fired powerplants is pure idiocy.
Beyond that, we have centuries of oil in our shale deposits yet to exploit, a mature infrastructure for delivering fuel for internal combustion engines. So I can’t see any mass movement to electric cars in the 25 or so years left in my expected lifetime.
But I don’t fear electric cars in the least. Bring them on. Instead of gorging the banks on public debt via Stimulus bills, we should have spent that money on 75 or 80 new nuclear powerplants and the construction of a network of electrical recharging stations nationwide.
WTH? Rush doesn’t drive. He makes a point of that, or did, anyway. Maybe I’m just not up to speed on this... Maybe it’s experience with golf carts that prompted him to do this?
aha bump
I like how the story says Limbaugh is not a fan of the cars because he says people arent buying them. To me, it sounds like Limbaugh is not a fan of the plan to have these cars be the base fleet for an auto company.
“zero-emission vehicle”
Cliche/Myth #221 of the “Progressives”.The emissions are just moved from the tailpipe to the power plant downtown.
