Wednesday’s "The Situation Room" brought on three Democratic operatives to denounce "controversial" remarks made by Rush Limbaugh on his radio show earlier in the day, with only one conservative/Republican, CNSNews.com’s Editor-in-Chief Terry Jeffrey, on to defend the top-rated radio talk show host. Limbaugh’s apparent offense was when he brushed aside talk of a possible joint ticket between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. "Let’s say put Hillary on top, that’s a position she is familiar with. Therefore you’ve got a woman and a black, first time ever on the Democrat ticket. They don’t have a prayer."
Democratic strategist Donna Brazile blasted Limbaugh during a segment about 50 minutes into the 4 pm Eastern hour of the program. "I think that comment is, as far as I can tell, a very un-American conversation.... [A]nd to suggest somehow or another that we are not capable of serving this country in the capacity of Commander-in-Chief is just, in my mind, mind-boggling."
Host Wolf Blitzer then asked Jeffrey for his take on the comments. Jeffrey admitted that he hadn’t heard Limbaugh’s program earlier in the day, and asked for the context of the comments. "I know on his program, where he has an opportunity to speak for, sixteen, seventeen, twenty minutes in a row sometimes, he makes very sophisticated arguments, lays out an argument that takes more than a sound bite to get across ." Jeffrey then voiced his own disagreement with Limbaugh’s position, that "a Clinton or Obama ticket could get elected, or an Obama/Clinton could get elected." He then voiced his opposition to such a theoretical pairing. "I don’t want that ticket elected, because of their views on policy issues, which are way to the Left."
Just over a half hour later, Blitzer played an extended cut of Limbaugh's remarks, and had former Dallas, Texas mayor Ron Kirk, an Obama supporter, and former Hillary Clinton press secretary Lisa Caputo on to discuss the possible Democratic "dream ticket." Blitzer asked Kirk for his reaction to Limbaugh. The former mayor answered using a paraphrase of the title of Al Franken's anti-Limbaugh book. "You know, it's the first time I heard it, but I think -- who was it who wrote the book 'Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Jerk,' whatever it was? I mean, why are we talking about this guy? Why is he on TV? He is so irrelevant, and he only says stuff to be inflammatory. And frankly, the best thing that could happen to either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, should they be the nominee, would be for Rush Limbaugh to keep saying stupid stuff like this."
Blitzer then asked Caputo to comment, and she was just as blunt as Kirk. "I think that the voter turnout in these primaries and caucuses for the Democrats, I think, is an indicator of how Democrats feel about both candidates, and I think Rush Limbaugh is absolutely delusional if he thinks at ticket like that doesn't have a prayer."

Not A Prayer
March 5, 2008 - 20:17 ET by allanfNo doubt, the media will spend the next few days trying to portray Limbaugh as both sexist and racist. The message will be "see this is what evil Republicans are like".
Well Limbaugh said
March 5, 2008 - 20:21 ET by futbolisgreat1Well Limbaugh said it....
Anyone that dares say that Obama or Hillary can't be good Presidents will need to apologize all the time until election day.
How dare anyone claim that a woman or a black man can't make good Presidents? how dare he?
Of course, it is not about the color of their skin or what's between the legs, rather that Obama and Hillary are super, duper Liberals, socialists and communists. But leave it to CNN to allow their pro-communist guest to rant and rave and say stupid things.
I believe it escapes CNN and its guests that it was them that made the un-American comments and who made stupid assumptions.
but Limbaugh said, Republicans need to be ready to apologize every other day for making any type of political attack on a woman and a black man.
Of course, I suspect that McCain will now go out and apologize for Rush Limbaugh's comments and agree with CNN.
I am sick and tired of Republicans not having a back bone!
I suspect that Limbaugh will have a field day tomorrow with this.
If Limbaugh is so irrelavent, why is CNN talking about him and having two Democrats talk about him. The moron that claimed he was irrelavent should have refused to get on CNN to talk about Limbaugh, right?
Liberals=dumb.
A conservative woman (if
March 6, 2008 - 08:47 ET by misterbee241A conservative woman (if there is such a thing) and/or a conservative black man (think Michael Steele, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams) would make great presidents.

To quote:
March 5, 2008 - 20:22 ET by FastEd"He is so irrelevant, and he only says stuff to be inflammatory." If he's so irrelevant, why are they talking about him? People are beginning to see what both these folks "stand" for, and they won't vote (to elect) for either, seperatly or together. This years' election, however, will truly be "voting for the least common denominator"., when it comes to libs or rinos, however, a 50% solution is better than a socialist solution.

What was the full context?
March 5, 2008 - 20:23 ET by balboaWhat was the full context? Did Rush say why he thought they wouldn't have a chance?
I heard this comment while
March 5, 2008 - 20:50 ET by Chris NormanI heard this comment while driving today. In the context I understood, he meant that they would both bring their negatives (controversies) as running mates and would thereby be easier to defeat. He had been talking about their negatives (hers being higher) before this and how they would "bloody" each other before the convention. In NO WAY did I hear him imply it was because of their race or gender. This is just plain old mischief by deliberate misinterpretation being played by the media.
Chris... Exactly. I
March 5, 2008 - 20:54 ET by bigtimerChris...
Exactly.
I share your sentiments...don't know if you read my post yet below, but you will see what I mean.
Just read your comment BT.
March 5, 2008 - 21:02 ET by Chris NormanJust read your comment BT. It sounds like neither of us registered anything controversial in Rush's remarks. My eyebrows didn't go up when I heard his comments, did your's? He was being very serious answering a caller who didn't like him encouraging Hillary to go forward in the primaries and was worried that an OBama /Clinton ticket would be impossible to beat.
You're right, the media has decided to go after Rush with any crap they can squeeze from his comments. They've already shown that they don't understand Rush, but I know, in instances like this, they are deliberately MISunderstanding him. I'm getting tired of these jerks.
I heard this on Rush today
March 5, 2008 - 21:22 ET by motherbeltI heard this on Rush today too, and like both of you, I only heard him talking about both their negatives. He was discussing the disadvantages of having her at the top of the ticket, and the disadvantages of having him at the top. He was making a case that neither combination was unbeatable. It had nothing to do with race and gender (but we all know Rush is a racist and a sexist, don't we?)
And what's with Brazile and the "we" again???
A]nd to suggest somehow or another that we are not capable of serving
this country in the capacity of Commander-in-Chief is just, in my mind,
mind-boggling. (emphasis added)
Who's the WE?????
I forgive Rush for just
March 5, 2008 - 20:27 ET by mostlymoderateI forgive Rush for just about any mistakes he *might* have made in the past (not that I can think of any). I am SO PROUD OF RUSH right now I am speechless. Thank Goodness there is one sane man left in broadcasting.
"that's a position she is
March 5, 2008 - 20:30 ET by balboa"that's a position she is familiar with."
Yeah..."proud" was what I was gonna say, too.
Despite Rush's sense of
March 5, 2008 - 20:56 ET by Chris NormanDespite Rush's sense of humor, I didn't hear anything salacious in his tone when he said this. I interpreted his comment as being about Hillary wanting to be the boss and not second banana. He had commented earlier that she wouldn't settle for anything less than the top job. If other are intent on reading sexual offensiveness into everything said, that's their problem. This is getting tiresome.
Chris... Very tiresome
March 5, 2008 - 20:59 ET by bigtimerChris...
Very tiresome indeed.

OK I feel better now.
Hey now! There are some
March 5, 2008 - 21:23 ET by balboaHey now! There are some people whose opinions I trust. If CN says that Rushashana meant it that way, I'm inclined to believe him.
That's right, I say so. I
March 5, 2008 - 21:23 ET by Chris NormanThat's right, I say so. I also say, "give me money". :)
Never ceases to amaze me
March 5, 2008 - 23:12 ET by futbolisgreat1Never ceases to amaze me how Democrats like Balbo do not listen to Rush, they take their news about Rush from the Liberal media.
they turn around and attack Rush for quotes taken out of context....yet because the Liberal media doesn't say a word about Liberal radio personalities like Bernie Ward, individuals like Balboa don't attack Bernie Ward.
It would do you and any other Democrat or Liberal attacking Rush to get acquainted with Bernie Ward....if you think Rush is bad because of what comes out of his mouth, you should be embarrassed by the Liberal commentator for what he was doing and storing in his computer at home.
Not that the ACLU or NAMBLA would care.....
If your man Jon Stewert said this...
March 6, 2008 - 13:07 ET by NavyBuckeyeyou would never make this comment. You would also laugh it up and talk amongst your friends about how funny it is.

I don't know what preceeded
March 5, 2008 - 20:30 ET by stratmanI don't know what preceeded the comment that has "Bobo" Brazile so up in arms, so I won't comment until I know more.
I will say, though, that Bobo Brazile is the ultimate party hack. I have heard James "Snake" Carville be candid on occasion concerning Republicans. I have NEVER heard similar candor from the lips of Bobo. Whatever she says is pure partisan politics.

You got that right! I
March 5, 2008 - 21:07 ET by stratmanYou got that right!
I remember watching wrastling as a kid in the late 60's and very early 70's. It made me laugh, like Roller Derby too.
I had completely forgotten, or maybe never really noticed race back then, but Bobo was black. All I cared about was if it was fun before changing the channel to something else.
From Wikipedia:
In a way, Bobo Brazil with his "Coco Butt" did more for American racial parity and unity than Donna Brazille has.

More famous wrestlers, stratman
March 5, 2008 - 21:45 ET by Mica the MagnificentAnother famous wrestler at the time was Antonino Rocca. He claimed he found the secret to living forever.

A dozen eggs a day - raw.
He died at age 56.
Then there was the Von Hess brothers, Johnny Walker, Miguel Torres . .
Don't get me started. My dad took me to all the wrestling programs at Sunnyside Gardens in Queens, NY back then.
Great memories.

I heard Rush's show
March 5, 2008 - 20:35 ET by bigtimerI heard Rush's show today....
I heard the two shows of the Situation Room which was a rarity for me, I usually turn the channel to Hardball after the first hour...
Nevertheless there is absolutely nothing controversial in what Rush said today....the msm is going to go after Rush and go after him hard...
Some on Both sides of the aisle will be glad for it and are working hand in hand with the msm to do just that...McCain, Lott and others are wishing Rush would shut-up for example.
Think about it...they are going to attempt to slowly shut Rush up with a vengeance...this will be their Fairness Doctrine before they attempt to try to pass it again with the next President, no matter who it be at this point of the game.
Rush made some great points today about getting Hillary the win with his aide....along with some great thinking conservatives from states like Texas that voted for her...this and this alone is what they are so angry about...his influence...they can attempt to color it any way they like.
They won't stop with Rush either.
Well that's the big fat elephant in the room.
March 5, 2008 - 20:36 ET by nwahsWell that's the big fat elephant in the room isn't it? Rush's guest host alluded to the fact yesterday. The United States hasn't yet passed the mile stone where its ready to elect an African-American or female President. When that time comes, we will know months if not years in advance. It won't be a close poll. It will be a 80% - 20% poll. The Wilder factor won't even enter into the picture.
Its quite typical of the loony left to stone a heretic for simply stating the truth.
Oh that is silly
March 5, 2008 - 20:43 ET by bigtimerOh that is silly nws...
this country would elect a woman or a person of any stripe...just not an empty vessel-ed leftist.
Its not silly- it might not be right, but its not silly.
March 5, 2008 - 21:56 ET by nwahsIts a valid point. You might not agree with it and you might dispute the existence of the Wilder/Bradley effect. But the discussion of it is far from silly. What is silly is dismissing it without a cogent refutation of it.
Sad, but true. McCain has
March 5, 2008 - 20:44 ET by mostlymoderateSad, but true. McCain has this in the bag. Think about it for a moment, Democrat's that support Obama think of Hillary as a witch. Democrats that support Hillary over Obama despise the fact that he has challenged "her RIGHT to the Presidency". Do we *really* think that after the primaries, the Clintonites will support the Obama's and vice-versa? I think not.
McCain to Condemn ... ?
March 5, 2008 - 20:39 ET by allanfHow long will it take for John McCain to condemn and disassociate himself from Limbaugh's remarks?
Same idea, but I would
March 5, 2008 - 20:43 ET by motherbeltSame idea, but I would phrase it differently:
How long will it take for someone in the MSM to confront McCain with Rush's remarks, and demand that he denounce them and distance himself from them?
It doesn't matter if
March 5, 2008 - 20:57 ET by MidAmericaIt doesn't matter if McCain appologizes. This election will not be about McCain. He will only hurt himself by being negative. The majority of the country already knows John McCain as a qualified leader thanks to years of positive promotion by the msm. It will be difficult for them to now tear him down without being obvious they are shilling for the dems. This election is about whether the country is in the mood for either BO or hillary. Any negative vibes about them will cause the country to get skittish about trying something completely new and will go McCain as a known and trusted choice.
Controversial? If this is
March 5, 2008 - 20:41 ET by Clear thinkerControversial?
If this is what they consider controversial then we need to just discard 'truth' from any and all conversations concerning Dems.
What a bunch of DOLTS!
"Abstain from McCain"
I was listening to
March 5, 2008 - 20:42 ET by spiderdanI was listening to Rush today -- again, liberal dunces distort the context. Rush is very much relevant, so much so, he tilted the outcome of a tight race by pointing out how keeping the wife/chief apologist of a disgraced, disbarred, impeached serial rapist/molester on the Democratic ticket would confound the pandering and political slight of hand offered by an unabashed socialist and rank amateur.
Only a complete idiot would give (re: Democrat) a Clinton/Obama - Obama/Clinton a snowball's chance to succeed. Of course, lots of Democrats can't spell snowball anymore -- global warming has melted their brains.
spider,
March 5, 2008 - 21:09 ET by BlondeI heard this today, as well.
What the dinosaur media fails to deliver, though, is both the context, and the continuation of Rush's comments.
When I heard it, of course I thought "this is going to be another huge condemnation"....and then I figured, as usual, Rush will turn this lemon into lemonade. The man is a genius.
The whole conversation had to do with Hillary's "negatives" vis-a-vis Obama's negatives. The spectacular turnaround in "nuance" by the lib media is just bloody typical.
I'm going to have to arrange to be out of my office tomorrow, tooling around, so I can listen to Rush's response...it ought to be great!

Thank God for Rush
March 5, 2008 - 21:28 ET by spiderdanThank God for Rush 24/7. I can miss a show, then go home and stream the whole thing -- commercial free -- off the 'net.
Rush knows everything he says is being monitored by a bushel of left wing twerps trying desperately to distort or confuse the context of his comments. I don't bother watching CNN or MSNBC because of the sheer lunacy (bias on a galactic scale) their programming contains. Rush spends his day popping liberals and their media flacks on the end of their noses.
I just wish he'd close his fist one day -- a bloody nose would do those morons a world of good.

Why does Rush think a
March 5, 2008 - 21:04 ET by ckc1227Why does Rush think a Hill/Obama ticket couldn't win? Not sure about his logic on this, because I think they have as good a chance at winning as either of them have running separately.
Now, I doubt they WILL run together, but I don't doubt that they could win if they did. I just hope to heck that they don't.
Rush thinks that Hillary
March 5, 2008 - 21:08 ET by Chris NormanRush thinks that Hillary already has such high negatives that she will be a weak candidate. He thinks her campaign will drive Obama's negatives higher over the next couple of months, so that by the time of the convention they both will be waekened and vulnerable. I'm not positive he's 100% right in his prediction, but that's his rationale. He also doesn't think McCain will play any role in driving up either of their negatives.
Thanks, Chris
March 5, 2008 - 21:13 ET by BlondeI heard this today as well, and replied to another poster...but my response was not nearly as well phrased as yours.
If McCain is smart, he won't touch this argument with a ten foot pole....and he'll follow El Rushbo's advice to the letter.
Hillary is going to take down the party in her pursuit of the gold ring. I, for one, will cheer her on as the Clinton Machine goes horribly off the rails...and she destroys the best candidate the dems have floated in a long, long while.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
Aw shucks, I tend to focus
March 5, 2008 - 21:36 ET by Chris NormanAw shucks, I tend to focus better when I'm ticked off. I think besides Hillary's blood lust for the presidency, is her outrage that Obama is getting more glowing treatment than her - glowing treatment that she had gotten used to. I think she's now hell bent on Obama getting "the treatment" from the press. However, any negative treatment she's received is just over her losses in the primaries - not from any fresh coverage of her past scandals, etc. You're right, the Clintons will burn down the party before they relinquish their top spots.
But, aren't these things
March 5, 2008 - 21:22 ET by ckc1227But, aren't these things going happen whether they run together or not?
Well, no. One of them will
March 5, 2008 - 21:39 ET by Chris NormanWell, no. One of them will disappear from the radar if they aren't on the ticket. A new face as veep nominee won't be "bloodied" from the primary fight and McCain's campaign won't be the one to "bloody" him or her in the general - he's already shown that.
Chris, I said in another
March 5, 2008 - 21:46 ET by motherbeltChris, I said in another thread that there is no way she will take the #2 spot because she knows it's her ticket to oblivion. If Obama wins, she will be too old in 8 yrs. The Republicans gave it to McCain, just like they gave it to Dole: because they "deserved" it. Democrats aren't sentimental like that. For that reason she would probably choose to go back and make her stand in the Senate.
Obama, on the other might be convinced totake Veep, since he's young. But, having had a taste of Messiah worship, I don't know that he would be willing to settle.
"But, having had a taste of
March 5, 2008 - 22:05 ET by Chris Norman"But, having had a taste of Messiah worship..."
And I don't see Hillary and Bill willing to play "Mary and Joseph" to Obama's... :)
McCain's campaign won't be
March 5, 2008 - 21:52 ET by motherbeltHe [Rush] also doesn't think McCain will play any role in driving up either of their negatives.
McCain's campaign won't be the one to "bloody" him or her in the general - he's already shown that.
Hell, we'll be lucky if McCain, in an effort to have a "civil" contest, doesn't actually end up campaigning FOR her or him!

March 5, 2008 - 21:54 ET by JayTeeMcCain in True Reach across the Aisle Fashion, will Ask Hillary to be his VP. Then McCain will have Elvis on his side, campaigning for his wife.

He might just be sucker
March 5, 2008 - 22:21 ET by motherbeltHe might just be sucker enough to do it, but there is no way she's settling for a #2 spot. Not after years of playing handmaiden to Bill for a shot at the brass ring.

March 5, 2008 - 22:29 ET by BlondeGet the duct tape ready...the plot thickens.
I'd forgotten all about the Breck Girl.
How many delegates does he have, anyway?
Agree w/you....Hillary has already choked on years and years in the #2 spot.
There is no way, no way at all, she'll go there.
She'll tear the party asunder before she'd ever consider it. Much to my amusement, BTW.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
The Breck Girl? Do you
March 5, 2008 - 22:33 ET by Chris NormanThe Breck Girl? Do you really think he has a chance to get picked? He'd be a rerun. Do his delegates have to go to who he endorses? Still, it's a very strange year...
Wow, NOOOOO Chris
March 5, 2008 - 22:39 ET by BlondeNot to be picked at all...that never crossed my mind.
But, he does have a few delegates, yes? He's looking for a job like the AG (for a creepy tort lawyer...that's pretty heady stuff....maybe he is even angling for a Supreme job...who the hell knows?)
Unlike Romney, and Huck last night, he hasn't endorsed anyone in his party, has he? He's holding it all close to the belt....to try to gain an advantage.
And, I just saw that between Florida and Michigan...there are 366 (yes, that is a correct number) delegates that Hillary will try to have seated in her favour. That will take her over the top. And if she's successful...lookout, the streets will run with blood.
Oh jeez...one of Hil's "surrogates" (the latino mayor of LA is on the tube talking out his a$$).....Too funny.

Nope, Dels

And, just because I can get away with it...to quote Bette..."fasten your seatbelts...it's going to be a very bumpy ride".
Bring it on dems!

March 5, 2008 - 22:59 ET by Chris NormanBlonde, I was concerned with Rush pushing the desirability of a bloody Democrat fight to decide the nomination. I'm superstitious enough to worry that, when you say it out loud, about the same time, they would tone it down a little. It doesn't look like that's the case yet. Oh, please...

It's all good.
Rush is usually fifteen moves ahead of the rest of us....and when I say "us", I mean the political junkies.
It's all good.
BTW...a "chick" editorial comment....did anyone else notice Hillary in the Nancy Reagan suit yesterday? Then she removed a piece of it...and it was TOTALLY red.
Today, she was on the nets in a neutral, totally ugly thing.
I'd kick her to the curb, just for her lack of fashion sense....but seriously, I think there is some sort of subliminal thing going on.
Anyway....I will enjoy the sinking of the Clinton Ship....although I would have preferred a total flameout of the aircraft.

March 5, 2008 - 23:13 ET by Chris NormanAfter a false Spring here this past weekend, it's gotten cold as you-know-what again. Maybe snow tonite.
Just how many fashion and style phases has Hillary gone through, anyway?
she switches almost daily.
March 5, 2008 - 23:24 ET by motherbeltshe switches almost daily. It seems on the news shows, it's the sedate browns and blacks and grays. On the stump, she goes bright.
BTW, one of the news shows today had up the "cleavage" shot for some reason or other, I forget why. I'll say it again...that's not cleavage, that's a breastbone...and it's not attractive even on young Hollywood stars, nevermind a 60-year-old woman!
All I could think was: AAARGH! My rods! My cones!!!
I'll bet that didn't "poll" very well, since she hasn't done it again!

BTW, I just came across a pic of that RED suit!
Actually she does look better in the bright colors, but just because I know it's all part of the "makeover plan" it annoys the heck out of me.
They cant win because..
March 5, 2008 - 23:24 ET by nwahsThey can't win because of the millions of people that live 40 miles or more from urban centers that say "I ain't voting for no black guy" or "I ain't voting for no woman." Excuse the stereotypical bad grammar, but its only to make the point, its a primal decision.
In spite of MSNBC, most people in this country are NOT urban Chicago. That might be heresy, that might be immoral, but its a fact.
Now if we all close our eyes, we can pretend its something else. But what's going to change?

I live 175 miles from downtown Chicago and in the last election I voted for the woman to be governor but Chicago went for the 'guy'. I guess things ain't always what we's thinks they is.
P.S. in case you don't get out of the 'city' much... the Dukes of Hazards was just a TV show not a documentary.

I'll bet this wrestling fan thinks they are...

March 5, 2008 - 21:21 ET by drillanwrIt's pretty much official ... It's McCain for "our side". He ain't "pretty", the way we'd have him, but he's "blood" ... We just have to hope he picks a great Veep ... So, here goes ...
Yesterday's primaries, particularly in Ohio (NEVER misunderestimate OHIO again, MSM!) and Texas proved one thing ... WE'VE GOT THE POWER, people! If we set our minds to it we CAN get this going our way. It's the way it should be in this country ... Not lazy voters ... But voters with purpose and control.
And when the campaigning starts for the general election, we also need to demand McCain NOT be censored by the MSM from telling the negative truths about his dem opponent.
Limbaugh might never stand up completely in support of McCain this election ... But he sure as hell will try and clear the road for the guy as best as he can ... and yesterday was proof/part of that.
As to his "Hillary on top" comment today on the radio (which I heard), yeah, slight "sexual shading" there, but followed immediately by "control freak" replacing it before MY next heartbeat ...
Anyway, look for Obama/Hillary to start talking Fairness Doctrine again ... real soon ...
