No time to read all the posts so if this was already said, I second it: The lib trolls posting comments here are skewing the general consensus of posts. When their posts come up in a Google search, some people mistakenly think they reflect OUR thoughts. Ugh…

You really should read the comments before accusing people of being “lib trolls”.

It was the only highlight, but a highlight, nonetheless.

If this program gets picked up and if it does get picked up and runs weekly, then the show every week will be dealing with specific issues and items in the news that week.

Not sure how that’s going to make it funny.

Libs are pissing holding their farts themselves about Ann being the veep, let alone the MahaRushni being Commander in Chief. HA was mentioned cause the you carried the clip.

As someone who cannot get FOX News, I thank HA for posting the clips. Even though it has laugh tracks, I was cracking up by the whole thing. Can’t wait till March to see more!

So, is everybody coming out of the lib closet now?

I’m just working my way through life backwards.

“Now, there’s another thing about this. I’ve read some comments from people who liked the idea but thought the subject matter, “Come on, I could have written better stuff,” or, “I could have done better.” You have to understand, these shows were taped up to January the 12th. Ann and I did our stuff on January the 5th, they taped the show a week later, January 12th, it airs on, what, February the 18th? There was no way to be topical here. These shows are what we in the broadcast community call “evergreens,” meaning they’ll run any time of the year. They’re not specific to date, or not specific to issue. If this program gets picked up and if it does get picked up and runs weekly, then the show every week will be dealing with specific issues and items in the news that week. These pilots were simply unable to do that. They could have done it, but it wouldn’t have worked with issues that are four and five or maybe even more weeks old”.

Seeing El Rushbo on national TV was, for a lack of better terminology….”Way Cool!”

Update(Ian):Rush has posted the whole segment here.

Ian Rush?

Not that this will make you feel any better, boys, but it is obvious that the blogosphere is utterly foreign to Rush. He doesn’t know any of you, and doesn’t seem to care.

That would be incorrect. Rush knows more about the blogosphere than you think, Jailbones. His initial comments were misheard, and he happens to be a fan of Michelle’s blog, as well as Powerline, Little Green Footballs, etc.

People just need to not have knee jerk reactions to things that they think they hear. A simple clarification or a forthcoming link usually puts out fires before they get out of control.

Hot Air is NOT DU country. Thank goodness for that. :)

But, then again, I must be a liberal — so what do I know?

And it’s a couple of decades too late for Idi Amin jokes.

Or Marion Barry, for that matter.

“Dad, who’s Marion Barry?”

“I don’t know son, let’s ask grandpa.”

clip of him and Coulter was posted here and on YouTube and that you should have seen some of their comments.

… At Hot Air and You Tube? How can we see the comments in his private e-mail or was he speaking figuratively?

He was pretty funny before he got a real job

Heh.

he said he got hate mail from liberals after the clip of him and Coulter was posted here and on YouTube and that you should have seen some of their comments.

I’m shocked, shocked that liberals would send hate mail to Rush for appearing on THHNH. (said in my best Claude Raines voice).

There are plenty of conservatives panning the show.

Well, no one can call you a “chickenhawk” when it comes to writing conservative comedy.

Maybe they should hire you and frankj as consultants.

For that matter, Allah too. He was pretty funny before he got a real job.

Yet when I came to Hot Air for the topic, it was evident there were dozens of liberal trolls posing as conservatives, saying they hated the show.

Yes, by all means, let’s turn sense of humor into an ideological litmus test.

Typical liberal response.

I had never seen half of the names of the commenters before.

Unless Hot Air opened registration again, it’s not people who signed up just to comment.

I’ve been here since day one and I noticed quite a few names that have respectable blogosphere rep’s that did not like the show in the comments.

But, then again, I must be a liberal — so what do I know?

So you’ve not seen Nancy Grace then? :)

I guess you missed Jack Cafferty.

Exactly. CNN can’t figure out where all their viewers are running off to while they put idiots like that on the screen.

I like it better when they are the one’s making fools of themselves.

I watched Battle Star Galactica, instead, and was disappointed with that program as well. I want my heros to be heroic, not drunks in a failing marriage, and consumed with ‘angst’.

Adding to my misery, Brit Hume’s remarks about Murtha provoked Juan Williams to leap to a defense of the democrat world view, and I’m just tired of listening to it.

Bottom line is, I’m so fed up with everything, all the shouting matches, even on CNBC!, that I’ve just called Direct TV and shut off the service.

I’ve also learned a new definition of ‘liberal’. someone who challenges a ‘conservatives’ conclusion, taught to me by other commentators on other threads here.

Have a nice day.
