Rush Limbaugh to appear on The Jay Leno Show!
Jay Leno's ratings are about to go through the roof!
Conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh has agreed to appear on The Jay Leno Show.
For Limbaugh, it's a rare opportunity to revert control of the host's desk and subject himself to the questions of another broadcaster. But, for now, Rush seems happy to be booked and equal to the task. This morning on his popular radio program, Limbaugh alluded to the busy week ahead.
"We're going to be in Los Angeles on Tuesday and Wednesday. Well, actually Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but who's the guest host on Thursday? Mark Steyn is going to be here on Thursday. I gotta go out and finish The Family Guy, and then I'm doing Jay Leno's new show Thursday afternoon and there's two parts to that. I'm actually going to be on the set. They have one sit-down guest every show, and a musical guest. Smokey Robinson is the guest the night that I'm on, if he doesn't cancel when he finds out I'm there. Well, first time I was on The Tonight Show, James Taylor was the musical guest and canceled. They said, "Oh, no, no, no, it's not because of you," but Smokey is going to be there. Now, they've got this new thing at the Leno Show, they got this promotion going with Ford and their electric car, an electric Focus and they've set up this 2200 foot track outside Leno's new studio and you race against the clock in the electric car and they've been asking me, "Would you do this?"
I said, "Look, you guys know where I come from on all this." "That's great, no problem at all." Drew Barrymore I think was the first to do so last Friday and NBC's got some giant Sunday Night Football client get-together so Costas and Michaels are going out there Wednesday afternoon and I'm going to do it Thursday. There are all kinds of things, like pop-up balloons along the track of various environmentalists and you're supposed to avoid them, it's one of the challenges. If you run over the balloons it's a five-second penalty. I hope to end up with the record for the slowest pace around the Jay Leno Ford Focus electric car track."

It's a tax, stupid!
FACT CHECK: Coverage requirement enforced with tax
Memo to President Barack Obama: It's a tax. Obama insisted this weekend on national television that requiring people to carry health insurance _ and fining them if they don't _ isn't the same thing as a tax increase. But the language of Democratic bills to revamp the nation's health care system doesn't quibble. Both the House bill and the Senate Finance Committee proposal clearly state that the fines would be a tax.
"I can make a firm pledge," he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12, 2008. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." He repeatedly promised "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime."
As just mentioned during his show moments ago, this is what Rush has been saying for months now!
Better late than never AP News!

Was Rush Limbaugh good for America in 1995?
From NewsBusters.com today:
It turns out this piece is in the upcoming September 28 issue with Beck himself on the cover next to the headline, "Mad Man: Glenn Beck and the angry style of American politics"
Apparently, this is somewhat of a retread for Time, for back in 1995, the magazine asked more positively on its January 23 cover, "Is Rush Limbaugh Good for America?"
The sub-headline read, "Talk radio is only the beginning. Electronic populism threatens to short-circuit representative democracy." The interior article offered some rather ominous insights concerning the direction of this medium and how the Left might combat it.

McCarthyism revisted!
People love to hate Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for supposed "hate speech". This video presents a juxtaposition of the past and current use of McCarthyism. It includes clips from Limbaugh and a few other hosts against the backdrop of the historic McCarthy hearings. As I watch this, it becomes clear that history is repeating itself:
