Rush’s medical status abruptly took over our evening, as millions of us flipped through the news channels and scanned online sites looking for updates. It was one of those times at which we recognize how much a person can mean to us. A friend asked me years ago if I ever watched Rush Limbaugh. What’s a Rush Limbaugh? His TV show came on late at night in San Diego in those days, but... www.joytiz.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2418511/posts#comment Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:42:33 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2418457/posts With an overwhelming 75% of the vote, Elective Decisions projects Rush Limbaugh the winner of the best non-satirical piece of the year. The piece was entitled, "Rush Limbaugh's Remarkable Consistency," and was by far the reader's favorite of 2009. As well, we should've known that he would win the day. He always does. Below is an excerpt: Staying consistent in politics takes the constitution of a rhinoceros. Unfortunately, it is that rhinoceros which is so aptly destroying the Republican Party—a party that looks uglier flip-flopping than Barack Obama did flipping those Iowa pancakes.

A UPI article mistakenly identified that hospital, not the Kapi’olani Medical Center, as the birthplace of Barack Obama. And even though the article was corrected, the “no one can say where Obama was born” myth has persisted.

The morning of New Years Eve 2009 and reports from Honolulu are sketchy at best. They indicate that Rush Limbaugh has been hospitalized for chest pains. For more than twenty years Rush has provided lessons from his perch in front of the Golden EIB (Excellence in Broadcasting) microphone articulating and sometimes embellishing a conservative perspective. Rush has never been shy about describing the incongruence as he found it which, articulate the difference between the political right and left.

"All best wishes to Mr. Limbaugh tonight, for a full and speedy recovery," wrote MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. Mediaite's Rachel Sklar cautioned Rush's detractors: "No stooping to wishing him ill, people!

However, certain events prove that the Kossacks are every bit as crazed and full of hate as the DUers. And one such event that has proved this to be true is the reaction of the two sites to the news that Rush Limbaugh has been hospitalized in Hawaii. Of course there was a DU thread full of hate...

Actually they were a little too well prepared. Shortly after the news broke that the conservative political radio talk show host was hospitalized, Wikipedia updated his page – and pronounced him dead.

This signals a huge shift once again that fighting terrorism is a criminal enterprise. It brings back the old days of the way the Clinton administration went about it.
