"First off, I am so greatful that I have NO idea who this idiot skank is"

You don't know Susan Estrich?  You are really missing out on something.  She has the most annoying voice on the public airwaves today.  It is literally like nails on a chalkboard.  She makes Barney Frank's speech patterns sound like Shakespeare.

Fox employs people like Estrich to show how really horrible liberals are.  When you look at Fox's liberals, they are all losers: Estrich, Alan Colmes, Geraldo, Bob "Fathead" Beckel, the oily white haired guy that always laughs because he can't think of anything intelligent to say

Estrich also tried to write a book that smacked down Ann Coulter and came away looking foolish.

Slow down, take a breath.............better now?

Susan Esterich is a Democrat strategist who has been on Fox to balance the more conservative voices on panels. One of the great things about Fox is that they are truly fair and balanced in their news reporting. An even greater attribute is that they have pundits from the Left like Susan Esterich, Juan Williams and Mara Liason on, so that discussions about issues are fully represented from the Left and the Right. Most Fox commentators are moderate right conservatives or libertarians but they do a fine job of gettingsomeone like Susan to participate in a real discussion of issues.

Occasionally Susan has an opinion that I agree with.

Here's Susan and her sexy voice.  She needs to lay off the non-filtered smokes and the gin.

"Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." - Francois Guisot

Years ago when Slick Willy's daliances were still fodder for the media, she was on some Fox News show as one of the two talking heads in the segment, and the subject was Bill Clinton (because she can always be counted on to defend BC).  At the end of the segment, comments were made about his wandering appendage, and how most of the stories (Jennifer Flowers, Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Willey and at least half a dozen others) were not proven, and therefore meaningless and a distraction that should be ignored.  Paula Jones was mentioned as having been the case that got his law license suspended.

In a parting shot, Ms. Estrich was laughing it up about Paula and said that at least Bill could have had better taste.  Ha. Ha.  

And yes, she does have the most irritating voice in broadcast media.  Imagine Fran Drescher after about thirty years of cigarette smoking. 

And Rush knows it. 

I'm really surprised Team Obama is being so blatant about it though.  Even the dumbest liberal has got realize how chilling it is for the President's COS to openly be in bed with numerous media members and to BRAG about their daily phone calls.

I'm truly stunned at the blatant arrogance of it all...I am sitting here shaking my head as I reread my penultimate sentence.

I hope he fails, too.

 Of course its a matter of opinion, but I like her voice. Its a little unusual but cute and down to earth.

Beware of a crazy woman throwing a hash pipe.

 From the politico article, it seems the idea is to obfuscate any nuances having to do with Rush ( and lord knows , he nuances everything).They're going to loop him like Jeremiah Wright. How many people ( not Rush fans and young voters)do you think are going sit long enough to be schooled in the difference between the GOP and conservatism?

A little like a whiskey tenor, but not as deep. I think its cute. Cool arrow thinks I'm homosexual because I do :)

Beware of a crazy woman throwing a hash pipe.

It helps remember where Rush's critics are coming from.  In the pagan mythology that is liberalism, they actually believe that Rush is warlock, casting evil spells in an attempt to counter the Great One as he lowers the ocean levels and brings forth the bounty to the land.

Seriously - try to have a discussion with libtards regarding the most basic of economic activities such as the conversion of labor into captial, and you will get a vacant stare.  Because to them, it really is magic.

Ask a libtard how a nation's currency requires a productive citizenry in the absence of the backing of precious metals, and you will get a "Huh?" 

In the end, it's the good wizards against the evil wizards.   

And Camille Paglia too.

 I think they're trying to portray Rush as a Pat Robinson. Not religious, but bigoted and hypocritical. They did a pretty good job of marginalizing Pat Robinson and his followers. I don't know how many millions of viewers the 700 club had, but its pretty obscure now.

We really didn't need more proof on NB that being a true Leftist requires being FULL OF HATE.  But, that being said, JRJ08 has come along and reminded us yet again just how hate-filled and angry a Leftist has to be.

 which has the ultimate effect of generating even more strident partisanship and bad feelings between Americans who are all in this mess together  Hmmm.  Last I checked, at a meeting with the Republican leadership at the White House, which was done in the name of bipartisanship, His Majesty The Shahinshah immediately cut off the debate with "Oh yeah?  I won, so there."  Some bipartisanship! 

Unfortunately for you, JRJ08, I have no interest in being a happy little Socialist with you and your fellow travelers.  The bad feelings are being generated by the fact that whenever HMTS opens His mouth, I can count on the market to slide yet again, and can count down to the days where the budget deficit "crowds out" all private investment (the thing that WILL get us out of this economic malaise). 

The majority of the country expressed its feelings on this last November.  But, last I checked, this IS still a democracy, and thus, the minority reserves the right to bitch and moan and sit in opposition.  Unless you or your God, HMTS, is going to round us up, send us to Gulags or have us all mowed down after being driven off to birch forests in Black Crows, you are going to have to deal with that fact.  Incidentally, I'm willing to bet you weren't willing to accept the argument "the majority of the country expressed its feelings on this last November", in, say, March 2001, or March 2005. 

"CONSUMED DEMOCRACY RETURNS A SOCIALIST REGIME" - Slayer, "Fictional Reality", from Divine Intervention (1994)

"Limbaugh's most avid fans will realize that his kind of rhetoric will
do nothing but assure that no Republican will win another national
election."

Yeah, that and all of Obama's illegal campaign funds, the media being nearly 100% behind him and  hardly caring that they demontrated the most abhorent Democrat party partisanship during the '08 election, ACORN's shameless, flagrant felonies, the fact that H'wood and the music industry came out vociferously for Obama and either ridiculed or entirely ignored McCain and demonized Sarah Palin every day and yet, with all of that, Obama managed to win by only  6 or 7%.  So, I wouldn't start writing off the GOP as D.O.A. just yet. We heard this silly claim issued by Democrats following Watergate,  after Reagan, and after Clinton. Everytime Democrats make the claim, we're usually back a year or two later to make you guys miserable and save the republic from Democrat Party ruin. We've gotten used to the Democrats fumbling with total power in the past and this is no different. You may not like the fact that Rush is exposing the Democrats for the enemies of freedom that they are but it's vital to have at least one person  who will  inform the American public of the guillotining  of our  freedoms taking place daily in congress by men and women who call themselves liberals... or "progressives".  (since few if any Republicans in congress or the new RNC chair will do so).  After Americans realize how they've been taken to the cleaners by Obama, pop-up Pelosi, and Ried, after they become tired of seeing all their hard-earned money go to further the size of the nanny state and getting nothing in return except 13 dollars a week and really bad "health care", we'll have a new majority in '10. 

tao...

Heck, if you just walk the streets in any community I bet the majority of the youth cannot even name who the VP is, let alone their own congress-critters are in the House or their State Senators.

Btw...if they don't know who Rush is...they should be learning from the BS they watch for so-called news...and of course he will spun as the evil enemy.

It's backfiring already.

People at work have started listening to Rush and they used to be dyed-in-the-wool Dumbocrats.

As for Estrich, she's that old broad left over in the bar at closing time. Dressed like a French whore with the voice of a barfly.

Well said. Re whether 'I want him to fail' was a slip of the tongue or not, we know now from the Politico story posting that the plan of attack on Rush Limbaugh started to go together last October. (see 'Rush Job; Inside Dem's Limbaugh Plan) The plan was waiting for a trigger and the democratics would have found one sooner or later. That it happened to be the 'I want him to fail' meme represents a coincidence of the need for a distraction and an opportunity to score points.
