Limbaugh: “I love Sarah Palin”

Share on Facebook | printer-friendly
From Baba Wawa’s “10 Most Fascinating People of 2008″ special. I assume it’s his new contract and the lure of big ratings from righties that led ABC to put him on the list. Otherwise, the logic of saluting the power of conservative talk radio in a year when McCain won the nomination and Obama the election escapes me.
The clip raises a point I neglected in yesterday’s post about Huckabee vs. Palin: How does Huck expect to compete with her among the base when Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, et al. are head over heels for her? His relationship with Limbaugh in particular has been flatly antagonistic at times, with Rush phoning into Fox News after Huckabee won Iowa to declare him wanting as a Reagan Republican. Is Huck thinking they’re a non-factor, or is it that he expects to charm them sufficiently to make their preference for Palin tepid enough not to matter? As for Rush’s theory about why the media dislikes the ‘Cuda, how come they don’t seem to have a similar antipathy to a guy from Arkansas who used to eat squirrel? It can’t be the policy differences between the two; there simply aren’t that many. One possibility is that Huck was never part of a ticket that threatened The One. Another possibility: Barbara’s explanation is better.
Rush is right, though, about his comments on Hillary’s looks having come in the context of a broader critique of American culture, not as a sexist statement of his own views. Good thing Barbara didn’t know about the “testicle lockbox” or else she might have had a heck of an awkward follow-up. Exit question: When does Team Hillary finally get around to issuing a jokey statement laughing off every off-color goof he’s ever made about her?

Get in line Rush

Rush IS “in line” and, as usual:
He is in the CORRECT line!!

Like McCain, the so called “MSM” knows that Huckabee would mean an easy win for the Dems. They pushed Mac in the primaries and ignored or lied about better candidates to make sure that the path for their real choice, Obama, was as easy as possible.

No Barbara’s explanation is not better. (Although I don’t like Rush’s explanation either.) Let’s remember the media didn’t like her from the get go, even before her bad interviews. So her being uninformed doesn’t explain away the media hate. If I’m not mistaken the rumors about Trig started even BEFORE the Couric interview. So how do explain that?
terryannonline on December 6, 2008 at 5:19 PM
Love Rush.
That’s how they always come after him. Clip something out of context.
Spirit of 1776 on December 6, 2008 at 5:21 PM
The media’s attack on the Cuda began long before the Couric interview. In addition to Trig Trutherism straight out of the gate, the nonsense about her killing wolves from airplanes, burning books, her remarks about God in a church, rape kits, tanning bed, etc. – that all came before her interviews.
Jim62sch on December 6, 2008 at 5:24 PM
Exactly. The hate her there the moment they laid on her.
terryannonline on December 6, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Palin didn’t help herself in any national interview though. Don’t like the questions; fine. But she didn’t help her cause at all. I wish she did.
I still think McCain lost, in part, because he didn’t roll her out properly. Worst roll out ever.
lorien1973 on December 6, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Sorry meant to write:
Exactly. The hate her there the moment they laid eyes on her.
terryannonline on December 6, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Mr. Pundit
Sir
RE: minor difference between Huckabee and Palin.
My sense [feeling] is Palin is more a builder [pipeline] more a pragmatist who gets things done ‘for the people’ while Huckabee is a panderer to voting blocks and not only will not resist raising taxes, openly embraces them as a means to raise money for government programs. Programs that don’t necessarily build things, but ’serve the needs’ [i.e. welfare] of the people.
If my observations and conclusions are correct they point out a profound difference in philosophy between the two.
Skandia Recluse on December 6, 2008 at 5:27 PM
I am lucky, my trained monkey job allows me to listen to radio all day long and I do. Rush is the only one who doesn’t have some soap box or another that causes me to switch the station. All of the others do. I still like them but he doesn’t appear to have the need for everyone to unconditionally believe everything he believes or you fall short. And humor is number one.
Cindy Munford on December 6, 2008 at 5:29 PM
He looks great when he is slimmed down and for his sake, I hope he does better to keep the weight off. Gettin real heavy there Rush!
epluribusunum on December 6, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Oh and excuse the mean moment by did anyone else notice that the opening shot of Ms. Walters made her look like some kind of caped crusader? I think it was the shadow but it was odd.
Cindy Munford on December 6, 2008 at 5:30 PM
It’s really quite simple. Cuda had the audacity of choice, not hope, to choose life.
She is not philosophically pro-life and anti-death, she lives it. So called people on the left simply don’t get it.
crashland on December 6, 2008 at 5:31 PM
Yep. I think that people can legitimately argue that Palin was unready, and that she hadn’t prepared for this run her whole life. But BaBa WaWa’s explanation is just an excuse that the media used and is using to justify their actions towards Palin. “See, she deserved it.” But they hated her from the moment she was announced. And BaBa was right there on The View questioning Palin’s parenting on the Monday after she was announced.
meltenn on December 6, 2008 at 5:32 PM
Also, Allahpundit, did the media send their hounds in droves after or before the Couric interview? I think you know the answer.
terryannonline on December 6, 2008 at 5:34 PM
Yeah, Rush could’ve been more candid there. The media hate Sarah Palin because she’s a conservative who has charisma and star-power and could potentially go a very long way in politics. Simple as that. He should’ve said “can the crap, Bobwa.”
ddrintn on December 6, 2008 at 5:35 PM
Just two segments of Rush’s show during my lunch gets me through the day. I have deep love for El Rushbo.
I hope he can lose some weight so he can be around for a LONG time.

Mojave Mark on December 6, 2008 at 5:36 PM
No surprise here, as Rush is right 98.8% of the time.:)
petefrt on December 6, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Rush was always right about McCain and the rest the RINOs.
McCain would bave won if he wasn’t such a pathetic hack. He couldn’t enunciate one intelligible conservative thought if his life depended on it. And he allowed Obama to literally commit the most massive fraud in American electoral hustory because of his own idiotic public funding policies.
Then, to prove what a complete mental basket case he is, McCain runs to Washington at the start of the crisis and makes an idiot out of himself, while the Zero sits around like a hapless stroke victim and yet outshines McCain in his most mavericky Drama Queen mode. With that masterstroke, when he “suspended” his campaign for the Presidency as if it were all an afterthought to his Senatorial career, McCain managed to make Obama look Churchillian.
That nerve-wracking disaster was the end of his entire pathetic campaign.
The only good thing about McCain is that he’s finished as a national figure, and we’re finished with him, although I pity the poor bastards in Arizona who will still have to put up with him.
I still get mailings from McCain for contributions, for some reason. I tell them to ask Obama, sitting on his hundreds of millions of illegal cash contributions, since McCain almost singlehandedly put that clueless POS in the White House.
TexasJew on December 6, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Somebody else already said it, but it bares repeating…
Anyone on the “Right” who is NOT excoriated, maligned or otherwise castigated IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE!
catmman on December 6, 2008 at 5:38 PM
I am pretty sure that all of Rush’s family are on the large side and they all have had great longevity. I think he looks better with less weight but according to him all his vitals are in the normal range regardless. Would I could say the same.
Cindy Munford on December 6, 2008 at 5:39 PM
Because unlike Huck, Palin has the potential to deal a deathblow to modern feminism. Because of their identity politics type of groupthink, they don’t care what some white male thinks. But a woman’s one of them and she sows discord among what they had assumed was their rank and file. They’re s***ting their pants.
Darth Executor on December 6, 2008 at 5:39 PM
Rush, please step back from the buffet….
patrick neid on December 6, 2008 at 5:40 PM
I see the need to expand the ‘welfare of the people’ thought in my post above.
If you mean building a pipeline to bring hydrocarbons to an energy hungry market, subsidize food production to create cheap, abundant food supplies, and infrastructure that creates an efficient, effective, inexpensive transportation system, then those types of ‘welfare of the people’ projects are good projects despite the argument over efficiency/inefficiency of government projects vs private.
However, if you think ‘welfare of the people’ means paying unemployment ‘compensation’ to the unemployed, while keeping them unemployed or wealth transfers from the rich to the poor for reasons of ‘fairness’ then you can see the two different uses of the phrase ‘welfare of the people’, and thus see the differences between Huckabee and Palin.
It also points out why the democrats and their infrastructure projects always fail. The democrats propose government projects to reward party loyalists while successful projects address a need that applies to the whole country, not a party faction, or party functionary.

I honestly think you are on to something here. Women who are conservatives MUST be discredited by the liberal media because they show that you don’t have to be pro-choice and a women. They must be shown to be as “religious whacko” so they have no credibility on women issues.
terryannonline on December 6, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Yeah, the feminists’ heads must be exploding all over the place. The Cuda has made a successful career on her own terms, with a supportive husband, just like they have been supposedly encouraging all along.
Meanwhile, our first Klingon First Lady is describing herself as the Mom-in-Chief.

Rush is the total package. I listened to him and turned off my television and I feel better. I get all my info from him and make my own decisions. He’s always right on. We love Sarah. Huckabee is the reason we didn’t have Mitt. But….everything happens for a reason, so because we got McCain, we got Sarah. Huckabee needs to go back to the Ozarks and spend his days and nights playing his guitar to his wife that looks like “Ma Kettle”. Turn off the TV’s and buy Rush 24/7 and read like minded blogs. It’s amazing how much better you will feel. Mitt and Sarah for 2012. And, of course Rush, the one and only. But we do love Levin, Coulter and Laura Ingram too. (gag me with a spoon on Hannity – Mr. Ego, Rush wannabe but neverwillbe)

Buckaroo on December 6, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Why don’t they have antipathy towards Huck? Simple. Because Palin, unlike Huck, is a threat to them.
And, by the way, informed or not, Palin was and is more qualified to be President than Obama. McCain was just too dumb to make that simple factual statement, probably because he didn’t want to raise the executive experience thing. All the rest was just lefties attacking the one person who scares them, and she’s still a threat or they wouldn’t still be attacking her.
Extraneus on December 6, 2008 at 5:56 PM
According to the feminists ideology and in their defense of their victimhood , Palin can’t exist. So they had to stop her.
A woman with 5 children not born rich can’t be successful.
And the fact that she does’nt look like roadkill put it over the top.
the_nile on December 6, 2008 at 5:57 PM
They hate Sarah Palin because of Trig. Trig sends a message to their daughters and their subconscious that they don’t even want aired. As an added plus an attack on Sarah P. is also an attack on the flyover states.

joepub on December 6, 2008 at 6:03 PM
The majority of the opinions expressed here on the appeal of Palin and Limbaugh are right on target.
Barbara Walters has selective listening and thinking skills. My guess is that she has never listened to Rush in any sustained way, and that her opinions of Limbaugh and Palin represent the “received wisdom” of the Left.
Just like Couric, who could barely disguise her disdain of Sarah Palin with her narrowed eyes, Walters does the same thing in this interview when she wants to reject what is being said. (She’s also giving a run with “Stretch” Pelosi in who can plasticize the most. Walters can barely move her lips when she speaks.)
onlineanalyst on December 6, 2008 at 6:06 PM
I said on another thread that Sarah is now half way to being totally embraced by the conservative movement; and after being the losing VP candidate and only 1 month after that loss.
technopeasant on December 6, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Romney/Jindal ‘12
Rush voted for Romney in the primaries, and he’ll vote for him again.
iamse7en on December 6, 2008 at 6:08 PM
It’s been a long while since I’ve seen a BW interview and she sure is a lot more combative and confrontational than she used to be. It’s “The View” coming out in her. Did you notice that when she was asking Rush the first question, she looked at the floor? Think back to McCain on The View.
Did you also notice that BW decided to speak for the elites and say it was because Sarah seemed uninformed.
I’m sure no body language expert, but even little ol’ me picked up on that.
She can kiss my arse.
Oink on December 6, 2008 at 6:08 PM
Remember he was on Nutri-System for a while and lost weight. Well, speaking from experience, when one is on a diet like that (even Atkins) when you go back to regular food, the weight comes back with a vengeance and THEN some.
Let’s not pick on El Rushbo in this way please.
Oink on December 6, 2008 at 6:11 PM
I love her to Rush!
Firebird on December 6, 2008 at 6:12 PM
It is appropriate that they would put on a guy who has been discredited to the point where it’s almost comical on their “most fascinating people list”.
crr6 on December 6, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I’m sure Rush will determine that after he sees who the best person is for the time. A lot WILL happen between now and then.
Oink on December 6, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I just love how Barbara mocks and questions Rush’s millions while ignoring her own. I would have loved it if Rush had asked Barbara about her millions, her mansions, summer homes, diamonds and then asked if she thought she was worth it? What does she do? I wonder how large the carbon footprint of The View is? I wonder how much energy is wasted, how much food is eaten, how many trees have died to produce a worthless show like The View? How many poor families could heat their homes in the winter with the electricity The View wastes each year! How many starving children could be fed off of the food The View hosts eat just during takes!

crr6 on December 6, 2008 at 6:21 PM
Did anyone else notice how Barbara Walters used that interview, in part, to slam Conservatives. In her opening remarks, she said that he was on the LOSING side of this year’s election. She then went on to say that Sarah Palin seemed uninformed and asked Rush to say something nice about the next POTUS (rubbing it in our face that Obummer is the next POTUS). If I were Rush, I would have turned that question around and asked the liberal elitist Barbara to say something nice about Sarah Palin.
Callie C. on December 6, 2008 at 6:23 PM
Would love to see a Palin Huckabee ticket…would beat on that SOB Huckabee all day and all night.
Jdripper on December 6, 2008 at 6:24 PM
Walters snarks about the amount of money Rush negotiated for his new contract, playing the class envy card in “this period of recession.” It’s too bad that she fails to see that no-talents like the crowd she celebrates are worth far less money and speak to far fewer people in validating their values.
When Walters pleaded/cajoled Rush to “say something nice about our new president,” Rush should have rejoined, “He looks terrific in his expensive suits.” Or, “I will, if you say something meaningfully nice about George W. Bush.”
How tiresome it is to portray the Obamas as “Family of the Year” to be emulated. I will take the Palins over them any old time for their mutual respect, warmth, genuineness,love,and living the values that they espouse.
Sarah Palin does, indeed, have “a servant’s heart.” She entered the political arena, not to serve blind ambition.
onlineanalyst on December 6, 2008 at 6:27 PM
Also Sarah was the only ‘fascinating celebrity’ NOT to consent to an interview with Barbara; would that happen to be the reason that Barbara slammed Sarah in her ‘fascinating’ segment and also had another ‘fascinating celebrity’ Tina Fey mock her as well?
technopeasant on December 6, 2008 at 6:28 PM
Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. The fact that you all fall over yourselves to agree with his every utterance merely confirms the utter bankruptcy of the FOX-Hannity-Limbaugh-Coulter wing of the conservative “movement.”

Cindy Munford on December 6, 2008 at 6:31 PM
I think that all goes to the “fascinating” part. She, and they who run in “those” circles, know the numbers. They know many news organizations, including ABC, are losing viewers, readers, subscriptions, etc. Yet Rush’s audience, as he has recently revealed on his show, is growing despite what you listed. That’s amazing, especially when you consider the recent saturation of political punditry outlets both on the radio and the net. All this is reflected in his latest contract, which you alluded to; but it goes beyond the dollar amount, a lot of people are rich. Also, it shows what Rush has always said, his listeners are not mind numbed robots. They think for themselves, and as such wont be “told” who to vote for and when. That doesn’t speak to his lack of influence, but to his ability to maintain a widely diverse audience, while articulating his views openly. That is very hard to do, because if you don’t strike the right tone, your “views” could push away a lot of people. But if you go the other way and focus on only numbers, you can become a “fluff and nothing” personality. The fact that he has been able to do what he has done for 20 years is astonishing, and certainly worth making Wawa’s list any year including this one.
Weight of Glory on December 6, 2008 at 6:34 PM
Great, yet choppy/edited video. Rush is fantastic, but at the same time very easy to take out of context, as Barbara Walters just did, and make him criminal. To no fault of his own, but even BW tries to get him with a “gotcha” question. I find her to be just as liberal, as the companies she works for. Oh well.
If you are really not listening to Rush, then no, you will not understand him and where he comes from. And he is so much more then just an entertainer.
cabbageheat on December 6, 2008 at 6:36 PM
It’s become so easy for you, hasn’t it?
Weight of Glory on December 6, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Rush is successful for many reasons but one of the primary ones is that he doesn’t consider himself an elitist. With Rush, what you see is what you get. His expression of ‘love’ for Sarah is genuine because like Sarah, Rush does not suffer fools.
technopeasant on December 6, 2008 at 6:37 PM
The difference between the love of Palin vs. Huckabee? Easy, Huckabee did not win the nomination and as AP pointed out, never ran The One. McCain was the Left’s token Republican until he won the party nomination. Had Huckabee won, we would have found out that the media and the left (I repeat myself)only like Arkansas governors named Clinton.

I just had a long talk with an old friend of mine in Seattle who hates Palin. I had the guy’s blood pressure up 10 points with my counter-arguements to his baseless claims. She makes libs crazy. I love her. She makes the lame conservative pundits like Peggy Noonan and that poofter Brooks at the NYT crazy. Man, I love her even more.
Old Tom said she isn’t qualified to hold office. I asked about Barbara Boxer’s qualifications and he changed the subject. I love Saracuda. I wish her well.
JAW on December 6, 2008 at 6:55 PM
Too bad you’ve never been able to listen to or understand what he is saying.
Palin was hated from the get-go because of her speech and the response of the RNC crowd. It was a tough, sarcastic speech that reeked of “truth to power”. She roughed up the One. But what does the press love, and will repeat for years? Ann Richards saying G H W Bush was born with a silver foot in his mouth; Lloyd Benson saying that Qualye was not JFK.
Did she seem ill-informed on some subjects…yes. Did the Daily Kos left and their lap dogs in the press go after her from the beginning, yes…was Couric gunning for her, yes.
Here’s a hint: if everyone from Kos to RINOs to the Georgetown press hate her and savage her with personal attacks, you know she’s a little too close to the truth.

McCain won largely due to having his sycophants in high positions within the GOP, and the party lost when ‘conservatives’ stopped acting like conservatives.
Conservatism is alive and well. That continues to scare today’s liberals, and might cause Obama to be very careful when the time comes for him to make any decision concerning our country.

I recommend that anyone who questions Sarah Palin’s intelligence spend a few hours reading through the mounds of paperwork her office has produced on her natural gas pipeline deal — called AGIA (Alaska Gasline Incentive Act). It’s complex, sophisticated, and makes great sense.
People have made up there minds about her without even seriously studying what she has done. We’ve become such a vacuous media whoredom that we can no longer see how enslaved we’ve become to media manipulation and packaging. Palin gives one crappy interview during a day in which she was over-scheduled and clearly tired, and we assume for all time that she is a stupid woman.
This “stupid woman” is getting done a $40 billion pipeline which will be the largest private infrastructure project in North American history. It was dead in the water for 30 years, and she got it together in less than 2. If she is “stupid”, then I say let’s bring this sort of “stupidity” to Washington.
If this economy is as terrible in four years as it looks like now (and I am beginning to fear that it might be) then I predict that the GOP candidate in 2012 might toss this famous quotation into the presidential debate:
“If you want anything said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.”
Margaret Thatcher said that. Sarah Palin can get the job done while President Obama can give ponderous interviews about it.

Dang it. That was supposed to be “made up their minds” instead of “there minds”. I hate typos.

I sometimes wonder if AllahP pays these people to post inane comments just to rev up the rest of us to answer them and thereby increase the hit count on these posts.

Having lived here in Arkansas under Mike Huckabee as Governor for a good while, (Like his whole tenure…), I can tell you that he’s no Reagan. He’s a Baptist version of John McCain.
And I wouldn’t vote for him for dogcatcher.
He raised taxes, and left the State up the creek when he left office. FWIW, I’m a Baptist too,(And even a Missionary Baptist!)but I don’t have the time of day for him, and it’d be suicide for the Republican Party to even consider him much further.
Mike needs to find a pulpit, and go back to being a Pastor. He was fairly good at that, but his political efforts suck hind nipple!
