It's the House stupid

There are two very good reasons to listen to Rush Limbaugh. First he's funny. Rush premieres Paul Shanklin musical parodies that are hysterical. Barack the Magic Negro is a parody of Puff the Magic Dragon. Shanklin sings this one in the voice of Al Sharpton through a bullhorn.

The genesis of the parody was an LA Times story by a black writer that said B-HO was a magic Negro because he didn't scare white people. That story was combined with half-wit slow Joe Biden's remark about B-HO being the first black candidate that was, "bright, articulate and clean." Sharpton responded to slow Joe with a , "What he mean? I's showers ebryday."

So you have two Lib comments and and race baiting dope's comment that are combined to produce the parody Barack the Magic Negro. But who gets called the racist? Rush. No matter how many times he explained the genesis of this parody - reading directly from the LA Times and playing actual sound bites of slow Joe and Sharpton saying what they said, Rush was labeled a racist. Lucky for Rush that having crummy race baiting morons for critics is good for business. Rating took off again.

Then there was the Scrawny Harry incident. Squirrelly Harry wrote a letter to Rush's boss at Clear Channel demanding that he be fired for calling an Iraq war protester a "phony war hero." Harry got a couple of dozen of his lemmings in the senate to sign the letter along with him. Once again when you have Wile E. Coyote as your enemy, you pretty much know how the story is going to end. As it turns out, the individual that Rush called a "phony war hero" was in fact a phony war hero.

Josh Lansdale portrayed himself as a decorated Army medic who served in Iraq treating wounded soldiers. He was so convincing in the role that some anti-war organization, perhaps the DNC, made a commercial using Josh. The truth was that Josh's only exposure to Army medics was when he was in the psych ward as patient. Turns out he was in the Army only long enough to be discharged for being a creepy psychotic malcontent. He was literally a phony war hero.

Never one to miss an opportunity to poke fun at the left, Rush auctioned off Scrawny Harry's letter. He matched whatever the winning bid was and donated all of the proceeds to real heroes - the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. The total donated was about 4 million dollars. Then in the strangest thing ever, after being squashed by the Rush anvil, a flattened Wile E. Harry goes on camera and says, "I'm glad we were able to raise so much money for the MCLEF." WHAT THE F*&%?! SFB didn't even contribute a dime to the cause.

So Rush is clever and funny. But he's also nearly always right. This is the scary news from Friday's show. Reconciliation is a smoke screen. It makes no difference. Once the House passes Dope-a-care and Dopulus Maximus signs it, it is law. What the Senate does after that makes no difference to the Dope. He's won.

Republicans have vowed to put up a fight in the Senate over reconciliation but it will make no difference. In fact, the Dope and Demo-Dopes probably hope that Republicans do put a fight in the Senate. Then the Dope and his lemmings can blame them for every bad aspect about Dope-a-care. Sure taxes have gone up, those damn Republicans blocked my efforts to fix that in the Senate. Sure granny was denied a heart procedure, these Republicans killed every attempt I made to get that fixed.

The battle is in the House not the Senate. Storm the House with hand written notes. Dick Morris has a list of vulnerable congressmen at his web site. E-mail them all. Send a snail mail to 3. Call 2. Click here to get the list.
