And, of course, what usurpation of democracy would be complete without Rush Limbaugh weighing in? "Do [the terrorists] bide their time and wait, or do they try to replicate their success in Spain here in America before our election?" Limbaugh asked, before revealing how "titans of industry," and "international business people (who do not outsource, by the way)" were "very, very, very concerned" that one true party forever rule the Fatherland.

"They all were seeking from me reassurance that the White House was safe this year, that John Kerry would not win," Limbaugh said. "Who do you think the terrorists would rather have in office in this country -- socialists like those in Spain as personified by John Kerry and his friends in the Democratic Party, or George W. Bush?"

Saying that a pre-election terrorist attack is not a question of "if" but "when," Limbaugh concluded that should anyone but Bush occupy the White House, the terrorists will have won. [RushLimbaugh.com]

Given the bizarre mind-melding between the government and media and the Soviet-style propagandizing that's been taking place, one has to wonder: Is there is any significance in the fact that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and David Brooks are all beating the same tom-tom? As former White House insider Richard Clarke recently told Jon Stewart, "[There are] dozens of people, in the White House. . . writing talking points, calling up conservative columnists, calling up talk radio hosts, telling them what to say. It�s interesting. All the talk radio people, the right wing talk radio people across the country, saying the exact same thing, exactly the same words."

Rush Limbaugh is so full of himself isn't he?

That quote was my favorite part of the article..great link Enigma.

Is Stern going to be off the air completely or just off of the Clear Channel network? His demeaning of women basically nauseates me ("take off your shirt so I can see your breasts") but it's a sad day when this kind of censorship happens. I'd feel the same way about Rush losing his job too for political or social censorship. Well maybe not too sad because he's such an idiot but it wouldn't be right.
