That was my point.

Rush Limbaugh is not even worth air time. Just my opinion. He's become a joke and a bad one at that.

Ok...May the clock at Lake Sumter Landing ring out.....I am going to "SORT OF" agree with Chelsea on this. Here is the direct transcript from the show...

Keep in mind that they are SPECIFICALLY talking about the current discussion of bail outs...

BOEHNER: "Listen, we, we’ve made it clear we want to work with the new president. He’s made clear he wants to work with us. That’s why we laid out our ideas at his invitation the other day. And we want to continue to work with him to help fix this economy.

David, this isn’t about Democrat or Republican at this point. We have some serious problems in our economy. And believe me, all of us want the president to succeed. We want this plan to work. Now, there’s no real daylight between the president and Republicans on the Hill. There may be some disagreement over how much spending or how much in the way of tax relief.

But, at the end of the day, we want him to succeed because America needs him to succeed."

He DID say it....in speaking of this subject. I do not believe that Limbaugh was talking about such a narrow subject area in his comments. He was speaking of the general socialist programs.

Secondly...yes I "SORT OF" agree with Chelsea as I am NOT a fan of Limbaugh..dont listen to him but he is in the same catagory as Maher, Maddow and Olberman on the left. They have an agenda and they push it to the extreme. On this particular thread I think that VK stretched his allegiance to the new President just a bit. I am certainly opposed to the socialist agenda we are going to embark on for the next few years, and opposed President Obama's election for that reason, but not going to and did not during the campaign start a thread based on ANY of the aformentioned folks and what they say !

Ok..."sort of" is the best you get.....you stretched the facts a tad with context and the "every way" comment which HE NEVER SAID, and had to go after Limbaugh personally, but in general I will agree!
