JANUARY 6: Limbaugh defends Rupert Murdoch's
five million dollar advance/bribe to Newt Gingrich by saying Newt's book
was a "huge best-seller" (maybe, but it earned less than one million dollars
in royalties - less than 20% of the advance) and that there was "no political
intermingling with the people who paid the advance." Uh-huh.
-
-
But wait, it gets better. A few months later, we're treated to the pitiful
spectacle of a poverty-pleading Newt "borrowing" (in a sweetheart deal)
$300,000 to pay his penalty to the House. Many references are made to Newt's
pitifully small $150,000+ plus annual salary, but everyone seems to have
forgotten about the other lucrative sweetheart deals he benefitted from
just two or three years ago. How did Newt manage to spend his windfalls
(including the advance from Murdoch and other book royalties) so quickly?
This is not a person who should be responsible for setting the nation's
budget.

Suggested reading for Carlson: Les Miserables
-
JANUARY 9: Republican talk radio host John
Carlson uses the looting of an overturned armored car in a poor neighborhood
to explain how poor people get and stay that way.
-
-
Echoing William Bennett, Carlson informs us that economic poverty is caused
by "moral poverty". This implies, of course, that the converse is also
true - that economic wealth is caused by superior moral virtues. This smug
and self-satisfied philosophy is more truthfully stated as "comforting
the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted."
-
-
Carlson further fulminates that it's "stupid" to think that "joblessness
causes crime", and that poverty and crime aren't the results of
factories and businesses relocating, they are the cause of that
relocation.
-
-
Does "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap agree? He's an expert on closing factories, having
closed more American factories and thrown more American workers out of
jobs than any other single individual in recent US history. At Scott Paper,
he fired 11,000 employees, and at Sunbeam, he's closing 18 factories and
six offices, firing a total of 6,000 employees. Chainsaw Al has never cited
poverty and crime as his reason to close a factory - he just says a company's
primary responsibility is to the shareholders, not the community.

Medved is severely indignant that "[Newt's] private conversation (where

-
-
It's odd that Medved didn't make a similar fuss about Floyd Brown setting

could listen to a tape of a purported telephone conversation between Gennifer
Flowers and Bill Clinton. Did "all parties" know or approve of that tape?

if he's willing to beat his loved ones, then I don't want him having the

about the radio-scanner interception and taping of Newt's cell phone conversation.
You know, it restores one's faith in humanity to see a low-life like Limbaugh
finally acquire some respect for the privacy of elected officials and their
electronic communications.
-
-
Why, it wasn't so long ago that he pleaded to his listeners for someone
to intercept President Clinton's Whitewater testimony (videotaped in Washington,
transmitted via satellite to Arkansas), decrypt it, and provide a tape
to his show for broadcast. A person who did such a thing, Limbaugh said,
would be "a hero!"

Wheelchair sex in the Oval Office!
-
JANUARY 22: Republican talk radio host and
movie critic Michael Medved's topic today is the made-for-TV movie "A Child's
Wish". In the movie, the father of a terminally-ill child loses his job
because he must take time from work to take his daughter in for treatments
at regular intervals.
-
-
The family is rescued from penury by the federal Family Leave Act, which
mandates that certain employers must provide unpaid leave to parents so
that they can tend to their families. The climactic scene of the movie
occurs when the family visits the White House and President Clinton drops
in to say hi to the wheelchair-bound child.
-
-
Medved says this scene is driven by sexual content. He says that Clinton
is playing the role of a "seducer" and that the young girl in the wheelchair
"sounds like Marilyn Monroe singing 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President'".
-
-
Medved's characterization of President Clinton as a potential sexual molester
of a terminally ill, wheelchair-bound child is capped with his question:
"would you leave your teenage daughter alone in the Oval Office with Bill
Clinton?"
-
-
The Medvert Principle
-
JANUARY 22: Republican talk radio host and
movie critic Michael Medved is ranting about how the Family Leave Act is
an unnecessary intrusion of government into business affairs.
-
-
After Medved gets through explaining at great length how no employer would
be so heartless as to fire a parent for tending to a dying child (as was
dramatized in the made-for-TV movie "A Child's Wish"), he gets a call from
a retired personnel manager of the Boeing company, who says it was company
policy to fire such people and that he had personally fired people in that
same situation.
-
-
The former Boeing personnel manager explains that, before the Family Leave
Act, Boeing's policy was that employees would have to take a 30-day block
of time to deal with family matters. Boeing did not provide an option for
employees to take a a day or two every week to take a child or spouse in
for chemotherapy. An employee who did so risked losing their job.
-
-
Medvert's response is to drop his just-proved-false argument that no employer
would be so heartless and to instead endorse that heartlessness, saying
that "the highest duty of a business is to turn a profit, and that outweighs
any individual worker's problem." (Hmmm, Medvert must have been reading
Chainsaw Al Dunlap's book, Mean Business.)

-

JANUARY 24: Republican talk radio host Kirby
Wilbur's guest is a writer for Investor's Business Daily (a slavishly anti-Clinton

ABC/Food Lion case.

-
The writer's explanation for the whole affair is that it was a massive
plot by ABC, the Government Accountability Project (a "far-left think tank"),
unions, "disgruntled former workers", Hillary Rodham Clinton's press secretary,
and "Naderites" to destroy the Food Lion chain of grocery stores.

There he goes again, makin' it all up
-
JANUARY 24: Limbaugh's goal today is
to play the victim and claim that Michael McCurry (President Clinton's
spokesperson) called him a liar. Back in the days when Limbaugh had a (now
mercifully defunct) television show, he would send out camera crews to
collect sound and video bites from unsuspecting prominent people. Limbaugh
would then archive those clips for later use.
-
-
Limbaugh plays one such clip, recorded at some Democratic or news gathering,
where his cameraman asks McCurry if he has a question for the "Ask Rush"
segment of Limbaugh's TV show. The sound clip has McCurry saying words
to the effect of "Hey Rush! How ya doin', big guy? Why don't you
slow down and give people a chance to think about what you say? Don't just
tell them what to think."
-
-
Limbaugh claims that McCurry called him untruthful in this statement. At
first glance, it's obvious that McCurry said no such thing. However, to
be absolutely sure, we asked the crack staff at the Excellence In Parody's
Center for Advanced Semantic Filtering to use their sophisticated computers
to wring out every possible interpretation of McCurry's statement. After
extensive research, they found that only a Big, Fat Idiot could interpret
the statement in the way that Limbaugh did.

The Wisdom of Solomon?
-
JANUARY 26: Radio Rabbi Dan Lapin says that
one can't make a compelling argument against bigamy without using "biblical"
sanctions. If that's so, since bigamy is the crime of a man having more
than one wife, one wonders how King Solomon (just to mention one of many
Old Testament polygamists) got away with his 700 wives and 300 concubines.

The Ruth's Chris Steakhouse medical plan
-
JANUARY 26: Radio Rabbi Dan Lapin speculates
idly on how wonderful it would be to have a health insurance plan that
didn't cover AIDS or AIDS-related conditions, psychiatric care, or out-of-wedlock
pregnancies. He says such a plan would have very low rates.
-
-
However, if he really wanted a low-rate health plan, he would leave out
coverage of the most common ailments in the US: heart/coronary disease
and smoking-related illnesses. But since such a plan would anger his listeners,
those steak-eatin', cigar-smokin', whiskey-drinkin' dittoheads, he didn't
suggest it.

Don't know much about history
-
JANUARY 26: Radio Rabbi Dan Lapin says that
the notion that Stalin was on the left and Hitler on the right is "utter
and complete unadulterated bilgewater." Lapin says that Stalin and
Hitler and their societies were both essentially the same: leftist and
atheistic. Lapin says the opposite end of the spectrum from them would
be a religiously-based culture (like modern-day Iran?).
-
-
One wonders whether the millions of German Lutherans, Protestants, and
Catholics of the Nazi era knew that they were actually atheists. One wonders
if the many Nazi Army Chaplains knew that they were actually atheists.
-
-
Lapin says that Hitler was actually a leftist because he nationalized industries.
This would come as a surprise to the Krupp family, German arms manufacturers
to whom Hitler gave a special exemption from German inheritance laws in
order to keep their manufacturing empire in family hands. Not only were
they not nationalized, they, along with many other German industrialists
and corporations, profited handsomely from their close links with the Nazis.

Hmmm. Those medieval Europeans sure built a lot of enormous cathedrals
for a secular people. They sure had a lot of Crusades for a secular
people. They sure killed a lot of heretics over religious disputes (large
and small) for a secular people.

The Incredible Flexible Statistic
-
JANUARY 31: A caller to Republican talk radio
host John Carlson quotes official documents that estimate Washington State
welfare fraud levels at 3-5%. Carlson ridicules this statistic, saying
that if you talk to (anonymous) welfare fraud investigators you get numbers
of "at least 25%, probably 30%, maybe as much as 50%."
-
-
A few hours later, Carlson is on a local PBS TV show where he pulls out
the same (unattributed and unverifiable) statistic which has mysteriously
inflated - now it's "at least 30%" with the other numbers inflated also.
-
-
At this statistic inflation rate of 2.5% an hour, a welfare fraud level
of "at least 100%" was reached by the next day. Heck, by now it's probably
more than 1,000,000%. This shows the value of anecdotal "statistics" in
the hands of an expert propagandist like Carlson: with no way to independently
verify or refute them, such statistics can be stretched like Silly Putty
to support any argument.

Reaganomics Redux, or, Math is hard!
-
MARCH 4: Republican talk radio host Mike Reagan
is still vainly trying to cover up his father's astronomical deficits,
saying "Carter's last deficit was more than $60 Billion. My father brought
the deficit down every year until Bush increased it again."
-
-
It's pathetic, isn't it, how the hard-core apologists for voodoo/supply-side
economics keep up their futile and embarrassing attempts to explain away
the $1,800 Billion (nearly 2 Trillion) dollars that Reagan added to the
national debt, almost tripling it in 8 short years?
-
-
Let's try to make the following proof as simple as possible so that even
Reagan's radio audience can grasp it. Here's a list of (Ron) Reagan's deficits
(in Billions) from 1983 to 1988: 79, 128, 208, 185, 212, 221, 150, 155.
-
-
Now, please show where Reagan "brought down the deficit every year". Take
your time... No hurry... Bzzzt! Time's up! Gee, looks like (Ron)
Reagan didn't bring "down the deficit every year".
-
-
Ok, let's all go back to Realityville now, the place where the president
who really "brought down the deficit every year" was William Jefferson
Clinton. His deficit numbers (in Billions) from 1993 to 1997 are: 255,
203, 164, 107, 23. Read these shrinking numbers and give a big thanks to
President Clinton, folks.

Farts are stupid things
-
MARCH 7: Republican talk radio host Mike Reagan
says that the Indians native to the area that would later become L.A. told
tales of a brown haze that sometimes lingered over their valley. Reagan
then cites this unlikely tale to show that smog is a natural part of the
Southern California ecosystem. He surmises that this natural pollution
was caused by "termite farts" and "buffalo farts".
This is a tad difficult to accept, given that American Bison were animals
of the Great Plains and didn't live west of the Rockies. (Note to dittoheads:
California is west of the Rockies, so Bison didn't live there.)
But why quibble? In its own innocent way, this ignorant story
stirs memories of the hilarious tall tales of The Great Miscommunicator
himself, such as the knee-slapper that "trees cause pollution."

There you go again, making it all up
-
MARCH 11: Republican talk radio host Michael
Medved puts words in Hillary Rodham Clinton's mouth and then attacks and
ridicules her for those words.
-
-
Medved says that the First Lady said "no, never" when asked if she made
fundraising calls from the White House, but when pressed, changed her story
to "well, almost never". This would be a funny story if the First Lady
actually said this, but of course, she didn't. Medved just made it up.
-
-
What she actually said, as quoted in the Washington Times, was "I do not
recall making any [fundraising calls], but I'm not going to say absolutely
never. I just don't recall being asked to make any. I don't recall making
any." This is exactly the opposite of Medved's smear.

Arms Smugglers at the White House
-
MARCH 21: Reagan is appalled by the kind of
people who visited the Clinton White House, saying "if you know the people
you're doing business with are arms smugglers - you've got to start questioning!",
"You have to look awfully close at these things and stop looking at the
almighty dollar!", and "If you're running guns, you don't deserve
to be here (The White House)".
-
-
Funny how he wasn't this picky about shady characters being associated
with the White House when arms smugglers like Oliver North and Richard
Secord had free run of the place and drug smugglers like the Contra hired
thugs were even declared "the moral equivalent of the Founding Fathers"
by Mike's father.

In Realityville, Clinton's plan keeps doctors with felony records
