"And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide"

Thursday, February 26, 2004

According to Drudge, Rush Limbaugh said this in reaction to ClearChannel's decision to yank Howard Stern:
'SMUT ON TV GETS PRAISED. SMUT ON TV WINS EMMYS. ON RADIO, THERE SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT STANDARDS,' LIMBAUGH EXPLAINED.
(excuse the caps, they're eggman's)

Uh, Matt, were you not paying attention during that whole JANET JACKSON BOOB THING? You can't show breasts on the radio, can you?

Of course, it is from there that Rush decides, in Talking Headsian fashion, to stop making sense:
'IF WE ARE GOING TO SIT BY AND LET THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GET INVOLVED IN THIS, IF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO 'CENSOR' WHAT THEY THINK IS RIGHT AND WRONG... WHAT HAPPENS IF A WHOLE BUNCH OF JOHN KERRYS, OR TERRY MCAULIFFES START RUNNING THIS COUNTRY. AND DECIDE CONSERVATIVE VIEWS ARE LEADING TO VIOLENCE?

'I AM IN THE FREE SPEECH BUSINESS. ITS ONE THING FOR A COMPANY TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE PARTY TO IT. ITS ANOTHER THING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DO IT.'
Those damn anti-free-speech liberals at . . . Clear Channel . . . and Michael Powell's FCC.

Not to mention all the help those liberal bastards from the American Civil Liberties Union are giving Rush in his pill-popping case.
