On Leno’s Show, Limbaugh Runs Car Over Al Gore - Then Backs Up and Does It Again
Newsbusters ^ | September 24, 2009 - 23:59 | Brent Baker

Taking the “Green Car Challenge” on Thursday night’s Jay Leno Show, a svelte Rush Limbaugh -- declining to don a helmet -- hopped into the electric Ford Focus on Leno’s track behind his NBC studio in Burbank, but instead of driving around the hanging cut outs of Al Gore and Ed Begley Jr., Limbaugh ran right into them.

Then, to Leno’s cries of “Oh, c’mon!”, a delighted Limbaugh accepted the penalty against his time score and stopped, backed up and smashed into them again. Limbaugh’s maneuvering ensured a lower score (greater time) than the three previous contestants since Leno’s show debuted last week: Drew Barrymore, Al Michaels and Bob Costas.

But that didn’t bother Limbaugh who afterward pumped his fists as he boasted: “It was worth it! It was worth it!”

Rush was great. He managed to say a lot in a short amount of time. The audience was very enthusiastic, with loud clapping and cheering whenever he made an important point. All in all, a very effective appearance.

I thought Rush appeared rather nervous and he rushed through his comments.

When asked about bankers compensation he should have pointed out Hollywood salaries! How much is it moral for Oprah to earn? Spielberg?

Rush was a hoot, as I expected. While Jay may not be as liberal as many, Rush took on Jay’s liberalism by challenging the usual liberal premises that Jay made.

The running over Algore part was the best, though. Too bad this couldn’t be a NASCAR event!

Government imposed salary caps are not a good idea. Risk taking by bankers, however, consists largely of putting other people’s money at risk, and we’ve seen how dangerous that is when done on a large scale.

Or is it dangerous for the bankers? If the government insures their debt then why not “let ‘er rip”!

Taped it and watched this a.m. with mrs. jimfree. Hysterical! Leno’s play-by-play (words to effect of): “He stops, he’s backing up, he’s running over Al Gore again.”
