even if it was via video. Lucky for you the Sundries shack didn’t.
But even better I got to meet Ed and his wife who is one of the most fantastic faith filled women I’ve ever met. With such a woman behind him Ed’s horizons are unlimited.
Ed deserves the honors he was given both the award and the intro by Rush but if you ask him, he’ll tell you that the greatest honor and award in his life is the wife of his heart.
This story is an excellent example of making up a headline to fit one’s template. Here is the headline:
here is the actual quote:
I asked Palin spokesperson Meghan Stapleton for comment on Rush’s rant, and she emailed me this:
“Governor Palin believes crude and demeaning name calling at the expense of others is disrespectful.”
What is missing from this sentence? Does Governer Palin think that Rush Limbaugh’s “rant” as Mr Sargent refers to it amounts to: “crude and demeaning name calling”?
Do you get that from that statement? I don’t. Do you see Rush mentioned in that reply? I don’t. Do you see an attempt to make a fight between Palin & Rush where there isn’t and to take the heat off Rahm Emanuel? Yup.
This is the same type of wishful thinking reporting that allowed the Boston Globe to believe that Martha Coakley was 15 point up 9 days before the election. And apparently the wishful thinking is not confined to the left.
Guys I don’t get paid to report (but feel free to kick in here). I expect better from people who do.
Oh and by the way, lets quit this “R” word idiocy. The word people were talking about was retard. r-e-t-a-r-d. It is a perfectly good word and is defined in the dictionary here. We should as a rule treat people with respect and not be crude and insulting to others, but lets also not be afraid of words nor treat ourselves with such fragility that we can’t cope with them.
The weaker we make ourselves the weaker we will be.
Update: If I’m reading Ann Althouse right she is with me on the Palin camp rips Rush nonsense.
Update 2: Rush says the same.
First the readings at mass this week and now this:
“Holy mackerel!” Adam Andrzejewski said when I called him just now after learning that he’d been endorsed by Rush Limbaugh this afternoon on the nation’s No. 1 radio program.
Tea Parties, Lech Walesa, Scott Brown, The tribune not reporting on him all coincidences, doesn’t mean anything after all.
Would that Rush would endorse the CPAC/I’ll do it myself tucker fund, i’d be farther along than 8%.
..back around 2005 when Rush was suggesting it?
If that option had been used in 2004-2006, obamacare would be the law of the land right now.
One might argue that judicial nominations are different than other bills, it not a bad argument but it wouldn’t carry the day. The democrats would have done this and the media would have backed it. The problem with playing with rules when you are in the majority is that when you are in the minority they are used against you.
Sometimes the greatest gift you can get is not having getting what you want.
Update: I’m actually shocked that they democrats haven’t managed to pass something, glad but shocked. If they had even the slightest bit of sense I think they would have been much more successfully in a legislative sense.
