Was Rush's quote real or tongue in cheek?

If Rush is against Sarah's potential run for the Presidency, ... it tells me something about Rush that is important. and not because it is good or correct. NO sir!

He can lose lots of his audience in regard to this issue. He does have a great following. I concur with his political views some of the time. He does understand the constitution and how America is bring destroyed before our eyes. He seems to be a conservative Republican.

A few years back when Rush was scathing against Bill Clinton ... he was not willing to say he was for Bill's impeachment. Right then and there I gained a new view of Rush. He can rail all he wants, but when the time comes to actually vote ... for what he had been expressing ... he backed off.

The opinions expressed by Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer are a bit amazing, considering the current state of affairs in America today.w

Dude. It was sarcasm. Or more accurately, exposing absurdity with absurdity.

I’d like to know the source of the quote.

I just ran a search and this thread is the only example of the quote I can find. I have had Rush’s show on since it started today and I haven’t heard him say any such thing.

Did I miss something? Or do you have a source?

Sorry, I was paraphrasing. About a week ago on his show he said he was at a dinner (or some such) and some nitwit thought the Republican Party would be far better off if Sarah Palin would just go away or be shunted to one side.

Rush said he was getting supremely tired of such things coming from friends of the Republican Party (so called). Again, I'm paraphrasing.

Rush said he responded and thought he would forever to the effect that (again, a paraphrase): Great Caesar's Ghost! Yes. Give us a choice between Palin and Obama and all thinking people have to go with Obama!

He then said his conversation partner blinked a few times and changed the subject.

Naturally, no thinking person would take Obama over Palin. In 2010 probably the majority of Democrats want Obama to disappear. The only people in the United States who would take Obama over Palin are the 35% looney-toon liberals who inhabit the Democrat Party plus Karl Rove, Krauthammer, Barbara Bush and some women pundits that simply can't stand other women...ANY other women...period.

I can even cut Barbara Bush some slack. She's old so probably thinks the anchor people on the evening news are objective.

Limbaugh's point was the absurdity of those people who claim to be friends who aren't. Once in a great while Rush says something I don't understand. This wasn't one of those times.

I don't think anyone can put a paraphrase in a 'Google Search' and get anywhere. Same with Lexus-Nexus. So, sorry for the paraphrase.

I'll bet dollars against doughnuts that if Palin gets the nod in 2012 Rush will be her most ardent supporter...make that second most ardent.
