The NOT Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Show Thread - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 (Mark Steyn hosts)

Mark Steyn

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Mark Steyn in for Rush

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Pings

[jakerobins]

Of all the Marks...Steyn is my favorite! If it has to be someone other than Rush.... I enjoy listening to Steyn.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

The day Mark Steyn subs, someone schedules two meetings for me starting at 1PM.

Grrr . . .

[Matchett-PI]

bttt

[alicewonders]

Why does Rush always take off the day after a GOP debate? I love Mark Steyn and will enjoy listening to his take, but I was really looking forward to hearing Rush too.

[Jemian]

This is the “at-least-its-not-Mark-Davis” thread? I like Mark Steyne except for him giggling at his juvenile sexual jokes.

[murron]

Ditto!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

My favorite undocumented alien. The only guest host other than Prof. Williams who is worth listening to.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Present

[Buckeye McFrog]

Why does Rush always take off the day after a GOP debate?

Some chicks dig the Mile High Club. Some are into outdoors in a hot tub. Some dig the kitchen table, and some want the Republican Debate on...

[Clint N. Suhks]

War Eagle!

[wardaddy]

The only guest host I like is Steyn but Rush sure takes off a lot

[Clint N. Suhks]

WTF?

[dandiegirl]

Why does Rush always take off the day after a GOP debate?

I was thinking the same thing. I don’t think he has been on once the day after a debate.

[Enterprise]

Senate fires warning shot at Justice Dept. over 'Fast and Furious' (99-0 vote)

"The Senate Tuesday afternoon unanimously cleared an amendment to prohibit funding for operations similar to the Justice Department's botched gun-tracking program, nicknamed “Operation Fast and Furious.”

"I'm putting the DOJ on double secret probation."

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Mark Davis?

I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.

[pepperhead]

Best Mark Davis impersonation ever!

[rodguy911]

We are all taking off today in South Florida.
We have had 20 inches of rain in 5 days and its just dam depressing. So no one is working,not even Rush!!

[PghBaldy]

He does. It is very annoying, especially when there is always so much in the news.

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]

“Mark Davis? I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.:

Me too! I felt a rush of relief when I heard Steyn’s wonderful voice. Phew, that was a close one.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Occupy Deer Tick Notch?

LOL!

[Eagle of Liberty]

I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.

Ha! Me too! I shouted DAMN! very loudly in my head.

[rodguy911]

Actually Steyn is the “only” talk show host worth listening to when rush is not available.

[nutmeg]

Why does Rush always take off the day after a GOP debate? I love Mark Steyn and will enjoy listening to his take, but I was really looking forward to hearing Rush too.

I've noticed that as well, although Rush takes days off for just about everything and anything these days. Today is a rare day that I can listen for the full three hours, and - sure enough - Rush is out.

Anyone out there keeping track of Rush's numerous absences? I think he's starting to average at least once a week now... >:-(

[NoLibZone]

Dang , Rush is gone as often as Obama is.

Well at least its his dime and not mine.

We need a Rush is out again section.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

He is a hoot.

Hmmm . . . I’m starting to get suspicious about Rush’s post-debate absences. Is he involved in conducting a post-mortem with a certain candidate after each debate?

[rodguy911]

Hey the guy just got married to a hot blonde!! I would be taking off as well,guys are only human.....what good is a billion bucks if you can’t spend it once in a while.?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Rick Perry WAS my hold card. Everyone looked like chit! Cain’s 9-9-9 is a disaster.

That debate was horrible.

[upsdriver]

Ha! Me too! I shouted DAMN! very loudly in my head.

Don't you just love that "echo" effect? ;-)

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I knew it was bad when Newt Gingrich was starting to look good to me.

[nutmeg]

I like Mark Steyne except for him giggling at his juvenile sexual jokes.

Yeah, those start to wear thin by the third hour...

[mewzilla]

Speaking of foreign aid.....

France and Germany ready to agree to €2 trillion euro bailout fund

So how much of that are US taxpayers on the hook for, and why ain't any Pubbies screaming bloody murder about it?!

[rodguy911]

Yeah I know where you are at Clint.

For me I kinda figured out a few months ago that Sarah didn't have an organization and wasn't building one.

At that point I decided to lower my expectations to just getting rid of the Marxist-in-chief and keep the heat on all Republicans.

It's a plan, not the best. But, it will work and probably save the country.

[upsdriver]

That debate was horrible.

I've maintained all along that any Republican could beat Obama. I'm starting to doubt that belief.

[Biggirl]

Good afternoon!

Rush takes more time off then I can count!

[rodguy911]

You know truth is Newt has won each and every debate. He is the smartest guy on the block. But as we all know he is going nowhere since we never know which Newt will wake up in the morning.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Outrageous.

You know, it struck me yesterday that all the Euro and the European Union is is one great big macro-Socialist experiment. It’s redistribution of wealth on a global scale—rich countries propping up and bailing out poorer/more irresponsible ones. (Though it’s getting increasingly hard to find a truly “responsible” country, fiscally speaking.)

I think that’s what the elites have in mind for us in the not-too-distant future.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Noot d’adulterer supported Crap and Trade. But he was the only grown up in the room.

I honestly don’t know what to do.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Occupy Deer Tick Notch?

HA! Gave me a great idea!

OCCUPY RUSSIA! (ohio)

[nutmeg]

Mark Davis?

I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.

Same here. Was that an inside joke, ie, maybe Rush got a LOT of e-mails complaining about the awful Mark Davis recently substituting for Rush? Or was it a tease, so that when listeners heard Mark Steyn's voice, we felt relieved, and not so ticked off that Rush is taking yet another day off today?

[NeoCaveman]

and some want the Republican Debate on...

You got any of their names and numbers....

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I suspect Mark S. reads FR, and is well aware of Rush listeners’ disdain for Mark D.

[mewzilla]

Has anyone heard any of the Pubbie presidential candidates talking about pouring American money down that rathole? Because I have not.

BTW, anyone else wondering who Barry has riding on that bus with him....?

[rodguy911]

You might have been right a month ago. But Occupy whatever is slowly sinking the regime's already leaky ship.

Zero got mega bucks from Wall Street last time. This time he will still get some but our side will probably get a lot more. Occupy whatever does not sit well with anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time.

There are some pretty slick guys on the street,rumors are that they are not into the occupy BS.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Cain’s 9-9-9 is a disaster.

Not sure I want to hear the answer, but I have been hearing this all morning, so why do you view it as a disaster?

[rodguy911]

OMG just too good!!!

[org.whodat]

He wasted no time in kicking perry, LOL.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I decided to lower my expectations

Don't lower them too low. JR is Zotting Mittens supporters.

[alicewonders]

Today is a rare day that I can listen for the full three hours, and - sure enough - Rush is out.

Same here, this is the first weekday I've been off from work in months and months and months. I was so looking forward to listening to a full 3 hours of Rush.

Dang! Darn it! Dang! Dang!
