Rush "enlisted" US Congress? A Rush job to save face
Here's evidence Rush Limbaugh and his radio gasbag empire are connected to the right-wingers in Congress. Seems they needed to be kept abreast of Rush's status amongst his puerile listening horde. Remember when Newt Gingrich name Flush an honorary member after the GOP took the majority? Duh or wow! It doesn't matter: Cyst-bum's-rush controls the political discourse for many angry white males. — Octafish

A Rush job to save face

Secret memo pushed a PR blitz

By CORKY SIEMASZKO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Rush Limbaugh's spin team came up with a secret plan to save their boss after the conservative commentator admitted he was addicted to painkillers, the Daily News learned yesterday.

The plan involved taking up former Sen. Bob Dole's offer "to help" the embattled radio jock - and suggesting he write a supportive letter to Newsweek magazine.

The Oct. 13 memo to Premiere Radio Networks' president Kraig Kitchen, obtained by The News, also recommended doing a survey of Rush's listeners to gauge their reaction to Limbaugh's embarrassing admission.

SNIP...

It also urges "Kraig to send memo to Congress" with updates on "coverage, advertiser and affiliate feedback."

CONTINUED LACK OF EQUAL TIME...

1. I just knew it, the Rash ass was trying to impress the Pubs by attacking
the DU.

He is trying to get off the hook. But it seems its not working as he hoped it would.

3. Did Congress gave Rush payola for his drugs?
The guy's been the "Official Voice of NAZI America" for a long time. He has gotten so rich off it, he owns mansions and a new liposuctioned bod. How much money comes from DeLay and Frist and those turds? How much did he use to finance his Oxycontin fix? Did taxpayers fund Rush's habit?

He's hooked, all right.

Hee ha ha ha ha (maniacal Democratic Donkey & Flush-Loather laugh)!!!!!

6. The GOP — Gold Opiates Petroleum
... A Division of the BFEE.

With Flush Pillpopper at the mike, there's no stopping the kkkonservative revolution.

Pruneface is what Mayor Coleman Young called Reagan. Pruneface also was the Dick Tracy villain who was a NAZI spy.

If it's just coincidence, it's apropos.

8. Is it a good idea for Congressmen to consort with hard-drug abusers?
I kind of think not...
