On his Friday radio program, radio talker Rush Limbaugh proposed using the website Politico’s rules against the news outlet by finding a “Republican Larry Flynt” to offer a bounty to anyone who can document sexual harassment among members of the media — specifically at Politico.

“If we had a Republican Larry Flynt — this guy, I would urge him to wave around $50,000 for proof of sexual harassment at Politico,” Limbaugh said. “I mean, that’s what Larry Flynt does. He waves around $100,000, $50,000 for proof of sex with a Republican. So if we had a Republican Larry Flynt — you want strategy Mr. Gregory? I got one. We have our Larry Flynt offer $50,000 for any news, any proof, quote, unquote ‘proof’ of sexual harassment at the Politco office. And we can win it because the rules have been established by Politico. The truth is whatever the accuser says."

I heard Rush doing this bit yesterday. The humorous thing about it was that the money would never actually have to be paid because the accuser would never have to actually exist according to “Politico Rules”.

The accuser never need reveal themselves, and anything they say is automatically infallible according to the way they conduct a lynching over at Politico.

Good idea Rush.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Sorry Rush, but we conservative republicans don’t waste money like that.

Ahem, "Illustrate absurdity by being absurd"

You obviously don't listen to Rush much, do you?

WE Conservatives also have a sense of humor...

Sorry Rush, but we conservative republicans don’t waste money like that.

It's called a "bet." Ever play poker?

Show me the money! :-)

Being an employer in the US is becoming less and less fun every month. There are times when I just want to shut the doors and go fishing.

I know a guy who was charged with sexual harassment because when he passed a female employee in a tight space in the copy room his leg brushed her skirt, not her leg but her skirt. He beat the charge but eventually quit the job and moved to another company because of the gossip that he had to face day after day.

I know a lawyer who stopped to help a couple whose car appeared to be broken down in the rain. The husband asked the lawyer if he could give his wife a lift to the gas station down the street. The lawyer said yes, when they got to the station, the woman said "Nice Rolex you have there, give it to me or I will report that you tried to grope me." He gave her the watch.

His felling was that 10K is a cheap out.

Nope.

Nope, I work.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Nope, I work.

Then why are you posting things you know nothing about?

[bikerman]

Nope, I work.

Ever hear of a tape recorder?? or VCR you can record the show to play later.

Or join the 24/7 club where you can view Rush’s show, via the dittocam, after work on the P/C. You can even fast forward through the adds/commercials and parodies if you want to just watch Rush’s on camera work.

I've been pretty disappointed with Rush since he got married. He seems to go on and on about one issue rather than covering several in a show. I don't think he is putting in the show prep he used to put in.

He won’t do that it would require some work which would take away from his whinning. :)

Why no I haven't, what are they? My day starts at 5Am, my day ends when I get finished. On occasion I get an opportunity to listen to Rush, but, not as often as some. As for taping them, if I was that interested I would have Rush 24. Rush has made his billion, I'm still working on mine. Maybe after that I will take the afternoon off to listen to him.

What in the world are you talking about? No forget that, let's just say I'm trying to emulate Las Vegas Ron.
