In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
What does it take for people to realize that Limbaugh really is, to quote Franken, a big, fat idiot? Or more to the point, just a hypocrite. It's not enough that he's already been married three times. He's now getting a third divorce. Nice Rush. Really nice. 10 years. What is that? Some kind of personal record? People like Rush are always prattling on about personal responsibility and upholding promises that have been made. Let's see, were his vows not particular about marriage being, preferably, a permanent thing? Mine sure were.
I'm not saying that he should stay married. God forbid I demand that people have to stay in loveless relationship. But, aren't those of his ilk always blaming liberals for the decline of civilization as we know it? E.g. The actions of the "American Taliban," John Walker Lindh, were generally blamed on his liberal, Marin County upbringing and the fact that his divorced parents didn't spend enough time with him, allowing him, in a culture of boundless freedom, to "experiment" with radical Islam. In the marriage context, liberals get blamed for introducing no-fault divorce and for "destroying" the institution of marriage for suggesting that two people who love each other should be able to make a state-approved commitment to one another regardless of gender. Marriage, the basic building block of society and underpinning of order, goodness and light, is under attack, I'm told. I'm told that the attack comes from the left. But I really think that it comes from people who get married and divorced three times before they're 53.
Once again, Rush proves that he is just like the rest of us. Maybe this little descent into the bowels of mediocrity will finally open the eyes of his slavering, kool-aid drinking followers. If the drug problem didn't open their eyes----
Maybe I'm all wet. Maybe Rush's marriage wasn't as "serious" a commitment as others. Maybe it was marriage-lite. Maybe when you get a sitting Supreme Court Justice to marry you, they kind of shorten things up a bit. Cut corners due to the busy schedule he has. Leave out the important bits. They just get to the "man and wife" part and call it a day. Usually, the person who does the marrying performs a little premarital counseling with the happy couple prior to the nuptials. I suppose that the premarital counseling sessions with Clarence were a little bit different than the ones my wife and I had with our priest. I can only imagine:
Rush: What if suspect that my wife has been cheating on me? What do I do?
Clarence: Ask her a simple question like 'Who put pubic hair on my Coke?'
Rush: What if I need a divorce and liberals are all up in arms about my hypocrisy?
Clarence: I suggest that you attack them saying "You're just performing a high-tech lynching of an uppity fat man."
or something like that....

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
