More Evidence Rush is a Lurker on Free Republic...

Rush Limbaugh Show | 11/24/2003 | Pyro7480

[DefCon]

literally, it translates to "damaged joy"
see post # 19 on this thread

[DefCon]

The best that babelfish can do with that is:

Damage joy, beautiful God sparks
daughter from Elysium we entered,
feuertrunken Himmli your Heiligtum.

[DefCon]

freetranslation dot com gets this:

Gloating, pretty Gods spark daughter out of Elysium we enter, feuertrunken heavenly your sanctuary

[B-Chan]

Interesting, but I can't take credit — lots of people use the word “Schadenfreude”, after all. Thanks for the ping, though!

[Jorge]

I guarantee you that RUSH has been here for a long, long time.

I agree. Many times he's included material and statements in his program that I've read previously on FR.
And why wouldn't he? FR is a gold mine for cutting edge political dialogue.

[don-o]

Pathetic.

Get a life.

At the vey least, watch "Cool Hand Luke.

[Pyro7480]

Hey, let off. It was sort of a knee-jerk reaction after him reading Congressman Billybob's article on the Medicare Bill.

[don-o]

Excuse me.

I have watched Limbaugh's career from the get go. He is by his own admission, an entertainer. Get that straight. An entertainer.

He puts on a three hour show five days a week.

Ever wonder why he does not urge the dittoheads to action?

Answer: Because, that would not be entertainng. It would require a devotion to something beyond the ratings book, which is what drives the show.

[Erasmus]

Hey those ain't too bad.

Here's a ruff translation cribbed from my college daze:

Joy at the woes of others, heavenly spark of the Gods
Daughter of Elysium
Drunk with fire we trespass
Upon thy heavenly realm

[Erasmus]

BTW, Schiller's original word choice was of course "Freude."

And the title "An der Freude" is usually translated "Ode to Joy."

Immortalized in the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth.

[Atlantian]

I'll know Rush is a lurker when he calls Daschle a maroon.

[DefCon]

Oh, yeah, that's the one that goes like this...

da tee da tee da tee da tee,
da tee da tee da - tee-da,
da tee da tee da tee da tee,
da tee da tee da - tee-da.

da tee da tee da tee-ee da tee,
da tee-ee da tee da tee da,
da tee da tee da tee da tee,
da tee da tee da - tee-da.

[pageonetoo]

"Use of a word does not a lurker make, but THIS does.

Congressman Billybob's column was special to FR."

I immediately thought so, too!

Ditto to Billybob!

[DefCon]

ODE TO JOY: mash mouse here to hear it
German:
Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuer-trunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum !

Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt
Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen.

English:
Joy, Oh ! divine scintillation
Sparkling from Elysium,
With a cheerful animation
Goddess, to thy shrine we come.

These our nations once divided
Now your magic spells unite,
Where your wing does beat around them
Brotherhood and love delight.

With a kiss bestowed on millions
Embraced in fraternity,
Let us build a world of union
And peace for all humanity.
