2. I bet he's happy to do so, too.

After all the crap Limbaugh has been spewing against Clark, I imagine it's a pleasure for the General to ask someone to can Anal Cyst's behind. Plus, there's the whole 'right thing to do' and 'political benefits' stuff too.

And if they have any sense of fairness and justice they will fire him.

5. I've been wanting our candidates to take on Limbaugh
and that just boosts up my respect for the General. It is important in this campaign to destroy as much as possible Limbaugh and his ilk along with Falwell and Robertson. They have to start telling Americans what scum these people are and how they have unlimited access to our airwaves. Go Clark!!!!!! Looks like you're getting the hang of this "campaign" thing real fast.

7. Wesley gets some revenge
Limbaugh has been absolutely ruthless and savage against him on his show. I am glad Limbaugh got caught with his foot in his mouth so Clark can repay the favor.

9. armchair psychoanalysis of dough-boy
limpballs: he's so insecure he has to tear down everyone who is more intelligent (well, guess that's everybody except dittoheads) and better looking. he really is insecure - ma told me the story about how he was never good enough in his father's eyes or something like that. all that blustering is nothing but empty hot air. he has to surround himself with a bunch of idiots who feel good by being "blessed" by emptyhead's acknowledgement of them, and he feels good by feeling superior. what a lame con. what a country-full of dufuses. :puke:

11. I am glad Wes chose to do this.
I can't believe Rush will get away with it.
Why aren't more Democratic Candidates condemning
it? Does anyone remember Jimmy the Greek?

12. Do you remember Phil Hartmann playing Jimmy on SNL
It was so funny--he kept saying these racist things when he was trying to sound ultra-enlightened on race. A great skit.

13. right-o and right on!
Wesley, you're awesome. And Dean said it, too. These men are brave, brilliant, and relentless. Thanks!!!

Taking out Limbaugh is like taking out a Senior WH Official, maybe more. Racism will bury him. He dances around it usually, using euphamisims, but he'll lose people over this. The rest will love him more. But this is going to take him down.

A GREAT WEEK FOR DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
