Limbaugh letter brings $2.1 mil; twice that goes to soldiers' fund

Still have mine. Still works.

In fact, since the college team I cover plays idle today, I might get me some Missile Command and Yars' Revenge -- controller in one hand, beer in the other, of course -- tonight.

 

And you jump right in with both feet. Congrats!

 

I'm happy when the soldier's fund gets a lot of money. It needs to, given that the feckless incompetents who organized, and are running, this criminal enterprise have decided to do so on the cheap. I'm glad Harry Reid wrote the letter and that it obviously lodged in Rush's vestigial conscience deeply enough for him to do that. I presume he'll keep a close eye to make sure that none of this money goes to phony soldiers who disagree with him on the war.
I'm curious about the "private foundation" that made the winning bid.
Bradley? Scaife? Olin?
Place your bets.
Good job, Rush.

 

Wow, two great topics. Atari 2600 and Rush.

About Rush: That's nice of him.

About the Atari: One of the toughest video games in all of history is Decathlon. I used to have to take breaks between events. And did anyone ever actually solve Raiders of the Lost Ark?

 

Betty Casey, a philanthropist, made the winning bid. She's donated millions to medical charities in the past.
Save the snark for issues you really don't know anything about.

 

I read somewhere she's donated money to Republican congressional candidates, but also has contributed to Obama's campaign.

 

Actually, it's the Eugene B. Casey Foundation that spent the money, but carry on.
And I'm sure that none of that money will go to phony soldiers.

 

Tony, Tony, Tony. You know the truth....Rush is an idiot who the liberals loathe. Now if he came over to the left and gave that money to Moveon.org, he'd he hailed as a wise convert and media darling.

Otherwise, he could have stopped world hunger, the war in Iraq, solved the steroids issue in sports but he's still be a doofus to the left.

 

Of course, he doesn't give a rat's ass about world hunger or the war.
He's back to mocking 12-year olds with paralyzed vocal cords by now anyway.
Fuck Harry Reid, by the way, for not pointing out that this is all about rehabilitating the drug-addled sex tourist's image.

 

No, not the phony soldiers of which Rush spoke ... the ones who fabricated their service records. And you can bleat all you want about doctored transcripts and tapes, etc., but you have no proof, and you won't.
I think the whole letter auction thing was not only a slap-down to Harry and his band of reprobates, but an example of someone having a sense of humor...sorely lacking in your camp.

And Ms. Casey makes the decisions on the money, in the name of the Eugene Casey Foundation. I swear, if someone said the wind was blowing at 10 mph, you'd say, "no it's not, it's 9.5 mph" and use that to denigrate that person.

 

And by the way "Mr. Show Your Work" ... proof please, that Mr. Limbaugh is a "sex-tourist," or remains addicted to prescription drugs.

 

I have no proof of the doctored transcrripts?
Except that you can listen to the original show, and then listen to what Rush threw out there in his typically cowardly fashion after the shit hit the fan and notice that an awful lot of the former is missing in the latter.
I didn't denigrate Mrs. Casey, and you talking to people about a lack of humor is like a goat talking to people about opera.
I didn't say "addicted," I said "addled," which he plainly is.
AS for "sex tourist," well, you explain going to the Dominican with a bottle of someone else's Viagra.
