ROTFLMAO- Hysterical: The Bobblespeak Translations What They're Really Saying When They're Saying What They're Saying
for example (in today's comments at atrios http://www.haloscan.com/comments/atrios/1330752072473901746/#13481974) h/t Stuart Zechman :
Schieffer: Let me quote Newt Gingrich extensively on all your big spending and debt and socialist agendaand from the website:
Emanuel: recall dipshit we inherited the debt and big spending and lies
Schieffer: No!
Emanuel: i agree with Newt that we don't want to subsidize big businesses and lie
Schieffer: no no no you are big spenders i mean look at this funding for sick children and dental work - isn't this just Bridgework To Nowhere???
Emanuel: Fuck off old man
Gregory: The Economist magazine says your bill spend on pork instead of job creation
Axelrod: unlike throwing $9 billion out of an airplane
Gregory: but that was before when money was free
Axelrod: oh right i forgot
Gregory: what else?
Axelrod: we're going to cut taxes and rebuild schools
Gregory: but you're depending on a psychological bounce - while the media is determined to destroy you
Axelrod: but then you'll lose your jobs too!
Gregory: we don't think that far ahead
Gregory: Republicans say your bill was not Republican enough
Axelrod: such a shame - one more GOP bill and we would be invaded by Micronesia
Gregory: also they said you spend you too much
Axelrod: i never heard much about 'generational theft' when the GOP was spending like drunken sailors on tax cuts for their rich friends
Gregory: would you concede it was a mistake to let Democrats write this bill
Axelrod: on sure maybe we should have let Lindsey Graham write it - then it would have really really big debts and higher taxes on poor people
Gregory: now you're talking!
Axelrod: i was kidding Dancin’ Dave
Gregory: Speaking of Republican objections to the bill -
Axelrod: were we?
Paul Harvey, Talk-Radio Pioneer, Is Dead at 90
I remember Harvey from back in the 70s, during my summer job for a lawn services "company." Every day at noon, we would button everything up, sit in the van, eat our sandwiches, drink lemonade, and listen to Harvey. With the smell of fresh mowed grass in the air and an Airedale named Boots laying beside the van.
I put company in quotes, because it was usually just the owner and me. The owner was a gentle, patient man named Hector McLean. He was among the very first Americans taken prisoner by the Japanese during WWII (he was a civilian doing commercial diving at an island in the Pacific), and survived the entire war in their hellish prisoner camps. After the war, he traveled aimlessly around the country for a few years, trying to get his head on straight. Then he moved to Costa Rica and opened a jungle restaurant that he ran for many years. He would marvel that the jungle was so lush that he could just stick branches in the ground and they would become a full hedge within a few years.
Then he came back to America and opened his lawn care business. Wonderful man. Held no grudges - the only thing he hated was fences. And he loved lunchtime with Paul.
Sad that one of Paul's legacies is Rush Limbaugh and his crowd.
Commenter Walter Mitty at TPM: On a side, CNN played Rush Limbaugh's rant in full, covering it like it was some great political speech or something. Fox did it as well, but that's to be expected. Has this thing ever been so closely covered before by the MSM? Not saying it's a bad thing since Limbaugh is a fringe pig, and while he might be preaching to the choir at the event, his venom shouldn't play nearly as well away from the wingnuts and dittoheads.
