Presidents don't debate entertainers, but entertainers need headlines for ratings

It's all schtick people.

1. Everything the GOP stands for has now been anchored to Limbaugh.

And Limbaugh is a big, fat soft target.

You anchor The Repukes to Limbaugh, and then when you take down Limbaugh, you're taking The GOP with him.

3. and that should be anchored to him, but the media will

give this play likes its serious and not a publicity stunt.

2. There is no precedent for ANY President to "debate" anyone outside of a campaign

Rush is starting to become delusional in his self-aggrandizement. He offered to debate "Leader to Leader" and will ONLY debate President Obama (not any other Democrat). This is a safe out for him, since he knows NO President is going to "debate" a radio bloviator. Rush is not capable of debating anyone which is why he NEVER does it or rarely even has guests.

4. he's getting attention which he wants for ratings

5. What if Obama posed as a professional Obama-Impersonator and called into the show? n/t

6. Debate Rush?

That's pretty funny. The man doesn't have a logical thought in his head if what we hear from him is an example. If he does, he's been hiding the fact for years.

Now besides being a lying sack, Rush has delusions of grandeur. Why would President Obama lower himself to debate with an airhead?

7. Hello:) Of course, it is..

and rush limpbaugh is the worst entertainer of all.

8. Hey Rush, in a debate, you have to give time for the other person

to speak.

You can't just screen them out, put them on hold, hit the sneeze button or hang up on them.

You'd be annihilated.
