You opened the door to this one. A treejumper is a slang word for pedophile. You mentioned something with Rush and child sex tourism in the Dominican Republic.

Unfreakin believable! How can you (sangrene) defend a man like you do and he does not give a salamanders azz about you? The man is a fat, overpriviledge racist who is profiting from misinformed, ignorant racist minded individuals hell bent on being manipulated by big business to further divide this country!

One question for you, if the repubs and Rush REALLY cared about the "average joe" and this healthcare system has been screwed up for years why didnt they do something about the last 8 years when they had the house, the senate and the executive branch (and most of the less-than-supreme court) in their pocket?

I believe that they are stalling so that the dumbocrats/Obama will not get credit for fixing something that they have ignored for so long. the teabaggers (what they are in the sexual meaning), Rush, beck and Faux News have played on the feeble minded and racist for so long that they actually think the the president of this country is really a socialist/Marxist/communist/Hitler recarnate! What emptyhead fools!

He wasn't fired, he resigned. He made a remark about the press, wishing/hoping/praying for McNabb's success because he was black.

By the time the truth came out about the incorrect quotes attributed to Rush by the Left, the deal was ruined.

How many who ran with those false quotes had to retract? Quite a few, right?

MSNBC, especially.

Do I envy Rush? Oh my gosh NO! I can tell you from the very bottom of my soul that I would not trade places with Rush for all the money in the world, let alone all of his money.

Yes, I was am a widow who raised my children alone on a teacher's salary. And yes I have a small home and not a lot of worldly goods.

But, would I trade my memories of my Marine husband for the memories Rush has of all of his ex wives? Oh never.

Would I trade my loving children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren for Rush's childless life? Dear heavens, not for the world.

Would I trade the respect of my community and the hundreds of lives I helped make better through teaching and volunteer work for the discord and ugliness that Rush's life work has produced? Not if you held a gun to my head.

In the eyes of people who judge a person's success by the money they make I would never be considered a success. But to myself, my family, and people who share my values I am a success in ways that Rush could never be.

Envy Rush. Not one single bit.
Great post from a truly "successful" human being. Kudos to you.

Examples of his misinformation and racism.

Never had the majorities.

You damn well know he'd have been fired. Or Tom Jackson would've beaten him into a pulp. And Rush is a moron for even bringing in something stupid and pointless like that into football talk. Donnie Mac is a HOF QB who dwarfs any QB his Rams have ever had and he starts spewing his agenda about the "liberal media" and blacks in an attempt to belittle a great QB like 5. Racist statement or not, he truly is the scum of the earth. Hearing that political crap, whether I agree with it or not, is the last thing that should be tied to sports, hence why I don't watch Olberman.

As Earl Warren said: "Sports are man's accomplishments. Politics are his failures"

Really irrelevant and besides the point, considering the fact that they never put the health care debate on the table. It's not as if they were voted down while attempting to provide it for all Americans, now is it?

Ironically, Costa Rica offers universal heath care to all of its residents.

Hey Limbore...don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya...hypocrite shill!
I saw this medical marathon on TV once - this girl from the UK kept complaining something was crawling under her scalp. They thought she was CRAZY. Finally, during one more trip to the doctor, they saw something that looked like a worm, pop in and out of her scalp. The doctor took a tweezer and methodically removed all the worms. Apparently, an insect had burrowed in her head and laid eggs. Where had she holidayed a few months earlier - Costa Rica.

Yep - now I know what's wrong with Rush Poor guy - he just needs a doc with a tweezer

Not the majorities needed to get it done.
