Limbaugh: “I think bipartisanship’s a joke”
posted at 2:15 pm on January 29, 2009 by Allahpundit
Six minutes of contentious chitchat from CNBC about his stimulus proposal. Well, contentious between him and the male anchor; between Rush and Burnett, it was and is all good. She, at least, understands the point he was trying to make about wanting Obama to fail: It’s not that he has something against The One, it’s that he thinks liberal policies will steer the country into a ditch. All our savior has to do to get him to join the cult is reject them. Think it’ll happen?
Don’t look now but the public’s having a momentary crisis of faith in economic Hopenchange. Exit question: Now that Limbaugh’s getting into policymaking, does he have any ideas about how to finance TARP II? All we need is $2 trillion.
Update: Finally, something he and Pelosi agree on.

And then you get an unqualified empty suit jacka$$ for president. Just great.
mrsmwp on January 29, 2009 at 2:20 PM
I couldn’t agree more. Bi partisanship was never the intent of the Founding Fathers….
MNDavenotPC on January 29, 2009 at 2:21 PM
From the $2 Trillion link:
I didn’t read the whole story, but they -forced- banks to take TARP funds, even if they didn’t want them. So a state by state breakdown is irrelevant.

The groundswell of opposition is growing. Its about time Congress listens to their constituents…or the REAL change will come in 2010!
NO MORE PORK!

McCain is Mr. Bipartisan. Enough said.
Cicero43 on January 29, 2009 at 2:25 PM
Today Barry O’Hopenchange learned never to call out Rush. The hard way. It’s always fun to watch when they learn the hard way. By calling him out he made him relevant and now he’s all over the news.
It’s going to be a fun yet depressing 4 years.
rollthedice on January 29, 2009 at 2:25 PM
Nancy Pelosi only understands her pay and owe sheet. “Bipartisan” to her means doing as your told. After all, “We won, we wrote the bill (legislation).” Smooth Nancy, real smooth. And when it fails honey, you’re gonna be stuck with it in the briar patch.
GarandFan on January 29, 2009 at 2:25 PM
I could barely watch that clip due to that wheedling little mutt groaning and moaning every time Rush dared to defend himself. I love how he was breathless and stuttering and fumbling at the end, only able to end up with “well, how come you weren’t like this 4 years ago Rush?”, when the economy WASN’T in the tank, I might add.
MadisonConservative on January 29, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Fatty boy is a douche. “Being in the minority suddenly stimulates bipartisanship” my a$$.
NBC is a tool & they just gave Rush all the needed publicity to get his point across.
Obama is a socialist & the “minority” of like 46% vs 54% is not a minority.
It’s almost 50-50 & that means a lot when you hold the ‘majority’ of the power.
That means you are pi$$ing off half of the country bcs you are too egotistical to don the best for EVERYONE, not just those who voted for you.
Fatty sure choked out his agreement on the corporate tax cut-bet he was against it last week!
Badger40 on January 29, 2009 at 2:26 PM
I sent a long email to my senators and to Mitch McConnell. I included this quote from yesterday that someone found at The Corner:
I told them that is what I want to see in the Senate.
INC on January 29, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Why, of course. Rush can fund Erin’s wish list.
Headline: Beta males find neither hope nor change in current economic climate
Kid from Brooklyn on January 29, 2009 at 2:26 PM
I was watching this live, the woman on the show was at least polite and gave Rush a chance to speak while the guy kept on trying to talk over him and interrupt. That’s a classic leftist tactic that never goes away.
Tony737 on January 29, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Rush is being Rush on his “so called” recovery plan but it still beats Obama’s by a mile. At least half of it would work. That would basically save a half a trillion. With the new president and the new congress it seems like a little over half the country went insane at the same time.
duff65 on January 29, 2009 at 2:26 PM
Bipartisanship is the art of asking someone else to sell their soul for pennies on the dollar while looking good doing so.
Chaz706 on January 29, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Rush is great….they can’t keep up
dangitt on January 29, 2009 at 2:27 PM
The last things the libs want is proof that tax cuts work.
The Rock on January 29, 2009 at 2:28 PM
Answer: He is probably thinking along the lines of most of us – ‘Don’t have a TARP II’.
Vashta.Nerada on January 29, 2009 at 2:29 PM
Bipartisonship as practice by the Dems is all one way; their way. You didn’t hear them bleat about it when they were a congressional minority.

McCain is Mr. Bipartisan. – Cicero
‘Zackley. And look at where THAT got us. When Bush was president, did the Leftist media ever demand that they be bipartisan with him? Hell no.
Hey libs, we don’t wanna work WITH you, we want to DEFEAT you. I’d love to see the Pubs try this method. They did it yesterday in the House of Reps, we need more of that.
Tony737 on January 29, 2009 at 2:31 PM
Rush’ position really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to parse and understand. After all, the Dems were so fond of saying how much they “supported” the troops, but didn’t support the war, their “mission.” In fact Dems and Obama not only didn’t “support the war,” in fact, they so didn’t support it that most of knew they wanted America to fail in Iraq.
marybel on January 29, 2009 at 2:31 PM
The Obamagedden of fire, hell and brimstone is turning into a Boy Scout Campfire weennie roast. I think many, many Americans of ALL Parties are wakingup for the halucenigenic drugs feed to us by the MSM, ACORN and Obamby…
His first week is a TOTAL FLOP!
A Executive Order spurned / ignored….
A HUGE defeat on his Socilist Pork Bill…
MSM starting to ask tougher questions…
A MASSIVE groundswell of public OUTRAGE at the condoms, contriception, abortions, sod and idiotic pork is getting the message…
A loss against Rush Limbaugh…
I’m almost smiling… almost.
Mark Garnett on January 29, 2009 at 2:32 PM
I have been told that “bipartisanship” is when politicians act in a united manner against the best interests of the people.
When they act together in the best interests of the people, no one calls it “bipartisan.”
Count to 10 on January 29, 2009 at 2:32 PM
I was surprised she was as fair as she was. Last year she referred to George Bush as a monkey when they showed a picture of him and to her credit did give a public apology for it.
sherry on January 29, 2009 at 2:33 PM
Except for um… Washington….
We don’t need bipartisanship… but we don’t need political parties either…
ninjapirate on January 29, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Obama is a fool to take on the most prolific talk show host America has ever had…Obama made a serious mistake.
Rush is right, bi-partisan is foolish, let the dems take credit for their bill…let’s see where the spending is two years from now when the next election is heating up.
You can bet they will be running from this “package” as fast as they can…
right2bright on January 29, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Two things
One, as noted in another thread, our local radio station has opened a phone line to call and leave messages on the “Stimulus” Bill. Few appear to be buying.
Second, I wonder if The One needs the market to go up, he will float that rumor that the government is going to buy bad assets, again. And how many times can he play that game? Because it sure isn’t loving the passing of the bill.
Cindy Munford on January 29, 2009 at 2:34 PM
Maybe the worst start of a presidential bid ever.
right2bright on January 29, 2009 at 2:35 PM

I think Todays Bi Partisanship is Collusion. I don’t see anything in Bi Partinsanship for American “Citizens” Note to the Obama Administration this isn’t Communist China…I am not a “Worker” in the People’s party. I am an American Citizen, I am Going To Chose the Republic over Fear Mongering Rhetoric. How is that
stimulusoh that’s right it’s called recovery now coming?Dr Evil on January 29, 2009 at 2:37 PM
How about two trillion Zimbabwean dollars. No one said anything about them having to be US dollars. And if 2T in Zimbabwean $ = $1.50 US, so much the better. I’d rather a short sharp recession where we eat a lot of debt rather than a prolonged shallower one.
rbj on January 29, 2009 at 2:37 PM
“Being in the minority suddenly stimulates bipartisanship”
The leftists are the ones who kept saying the country was divided 4 years ago — now they’re saying the country is united, even though Obama won by 2 percentage points more than Bush.
This is hogwash — people are pissed about this spending, particularly when it involves pork and not job creation.
Richard Romano on January 29, 2009 at 2:39 PM
For all his faults, and for as horrible a Presidental candidate as he was, McCain truly is as bipartisan as you can get and still have a party affiliation. I may not like the guy, but I will give him that. I think he believes what he does is the best for the country. He’s completely misguided about a lot of things, but I don’t think he’s dishonest.
On the other hand, to Nancy Botoxi and the rest of the clowns in the current majority (and yes, I include the Boy Emperor President in that statement), “bipartisan” means “Do things our way or get left out of the process.”
crazy_legs on January 29, 2009 at 2:40 PM
be bi-partisan when at war with foreign opponents, oh wait I forgot about the democrats for the past couple years.
rob verdi on January 29, 2009 at 2:40 PM
The Senate needs to go over this bill line by line and have a headline for each piece of garbage in there. That will deal a body blow to the democrats.
rob verdi on January 29, 2009 at 2:42 PM
Mark Garnett on January 29, 2009 at 2:44 PM
Bipartisanship like Political Correctness is championed by defeatists whose overarching agenda is based on moral relativity. These losers want to eliminate competition, individual liberty and personal responsibility because they are weak and paralyzed by fear. It is by definition un-American.
dmann on January 29, 2009 at 2:44 PM
they’ve already tactically admitted as such, by Obama reversing course and not overturning the Bush Tax Cuts anytime soon like he ran on. he easily could if the dems chose to
jp on January 29, 2009 at 2:45 PM
There’s the battle, and then there’s the war.
Jim Treacher on January 29, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Sitting in the shadow of Rush taking on the Comrade in Chief , he felt not so male.
the_nile on January 29, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Bi-Partsianship is another term for Neutrality in a way, both are a myth.
This is a good example of why Rush is so wealthy, the way he cuts through liberal B.S. and thinks fast on his feet and then can articulate his points well
jp on January 29, 2009 at 2:47 PM
WOW! Hainey used to be somewhat of a hero of mine. I can’t believe his reasoning here. I guess it’s a good thing we have Fox Business with Cavuto as an alternative these days.
And Limbaugh is playing this like a champ.

dmann on January 29, 2009 at 2:47 PM
Bipartisanship by itself is neither good nor bad. There are certainly times when it is desirable. If both parties actually agree on something, that’s the right kind of bipartisanship. Being able to have dinner together after arguing over a bill is bipartisanship.
It isn’t it’s own goal, though.
Certainly there was nothing bipartisan about this particular bill. It was created by and for Democrats, and bipartisanship was requested as a way to get Republicans to go along with something they didn’t want.
How do we know this? The left is livid today with Republicans for not being ‘bipartisan’ for Obama- when the bill passed. It passed! It passed easily. How in the world can the lack of Republican votes matter to them in any way? The only answers are political.

If they are in minority the minority should rule and if they are in the majority the majority should rule.
You followin’ me camera guy?
jukin on January 29, 2009 at 2:49 PM
The “Street Sweetie”, Erin Burnett, earned a little bit of my respect. She understood exactly what Rush said and had a hard time trying to explain it to Mark, also. Mark is just a liberal idiot and he is on a business show?!? WTF does he know?
cjs1943 on January 29, 2009 at 2:51 PM
Thats not bipartisanship, thats common sense, thats what happens when you learn the ideology out an issue.

Heh. He said ‘stimulates’.

Hey,
I just bought two balls for Mitch McConnell via the Redstate link to Amazon. What a cool idea.
Rush is right on. He wants Obama to fail if Obama’s policies are socialism/pork because he knows that will not help the economy. He wants him to succeed if he pushes pro-business GDP policies.
Sapwolf on January 29, 2009 at 2:56 PM

We got into the dreadful mess that we are in due, in large part, to bipartisanship.
Last year the Senate only debated 6% of the bills which came before it.
The other 94% it passed through the cutting of deals.
Does anyone really think that 94% of the earmarks, pork, bailouts and other garbage passed by the Senate last year was good law?
I don’t want my 2 Senators and my Congressman cutting deals.
I want them to vote on what is in the best interests of the country and within the framework of the Constitution.

This Mark guy seemed to be at a disadvantage while lovely Erin seemed very competent and prepared. I think that Mark believes that everyone dislikes Rush Limbaugh and the only way he could have that belief is if he is uninformed.
He’s also very out of shape. He sounded like he had asthma.

letget on January 29, 2009 at 3:08 PM
Here is some proof:
http://www.house.gov/jec/fiscal/tx-grwth/reagtxct/reagtxct.htm
The Reagan tax cuts, like similar measures enacted in the 1920s and 1960s, showed that reducing excessive tax rates stimulates growth, reduces tax avoidance, and can increase the amount and share of tax payments generated by the rich. High top tax rates can induce counterproductive behavior and suppress revenues, factors that are usually missed or understated in government static revenue analysis. Furthermore, the key assumption of static revenue analysis that economic growth is not affected by tax changes is di sproved by the experience of previous tax reduction programs. There is little reason to expect static revenue analysis to evaluate the economic or distributional effects of current tax reform proposals much better than it evaluated the Reagan tax program 15 years ago.
Again that link was

I am surprised Obama has not taken it down.

I’m all for supporting the president and being against his policies.
I love how that went right over Burnett’s head.
jukin on January 29, 2009 at 3:12 PM
The Founders created a system that encouraged gridlock so that the government couldn’t grow so big, so fast.
Bipartisanship is the opposite of that. Screw Bipartisanship.
Go Gridlock!!
tickleddragon on January 29, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Mark forgets that Bush leaned over backward on everything but the war. How about the Kennedy education bill? How about the pharmaceutical entitlement bill? How about his support of the Amnesty bill? And then the Dems condemned Bush every chance they got! So now they want us to be bipartisan.

Brat on January 29, 2009 at 3:16 PM
I am against the One..
This moron couldnt run a candy stand..
Here is a classic example of my lemande stand as it would be run by obama and the democrats
I own my own printer
I own my own business
I own my own laywer
I own my own employees
So no one is bying my lemonade at 50 cents per cup
1. I make it illegal to import anyother lemade
2. I make all employess for their own health (and to make sure they keep the healh insurane i forced them to pay for)
to buy only my own lemonaid
3. I get my laywer to sue anyone who disagrees with my decrees (its for your own good)
4. After i am audited i hire a tax cheat to re-work my books
so i am loosing money this month
5. I fire all of my american employees
6. i hire in 1 illegal for the lemonaid stand
7. I publish a news release about how i created 1 job
8. blame my predecessor for the other 14 layoffs.
9. i get acorn to sign this guy up to vote for me
10. all the other laid off workers only GET health insurance and unemployment if IF
they learn their lesson and only vote for me..
then they might get a job
When the illegal dies in 30 years..
Dont laugh i saw this inNJ 25 years ago
and i just went back and i swear to you
Not only are the tollbooths in the road in the same position and the same color as i saw when i left
the same employee is still in the same boot.
Just like the dmv..
welcome to zimbabwae thanks to obams genius
i can hardly wait for his next legislative act.
jcila on January 29, 2009 at 3:19 PM
“Bipartisanship” is no different than “precedent.”
The former is an excuse for spineless politicians lacking resolve to take a responsible stand. The latter is an excuse for spineless judges and shysters to say don’t blame them blame an earlier (even if whacked out) ruling. Hence the convenient, Clintonesque “They all do it” excuse whenever Clinton jumps the hired help, Rangel cheats the tax man or Wm. Jefferson keeps the bribes in his Capitol office freezer.

Brat on January 29, 2009 at 3:16 PM
Yup… all the hopeychangey sure is starting to feel like the same old partisan politics… they turn up the rhetoric and turn off more and more of their obamazombies and embolden the GOP. Obama’s war room woulnd’t be firing up the campaign again if they weren’t threatened by the GOP’s insistance on common sense solutions to the problems we’re facing.
Obama is going to double down on this… blow his whole stupid wad of political capital in one she-bang right before our eyes.
Remind me to stock up on more popcorn
gatorboy on January 29, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Face it, we are totally screwed as far as getting ANY traction for Conservative legislation until the pendulum swings back. We MUST take a stand and vote together and everytime against any socialist swill that will destroy this country. The DEMOCRATS are going to be shown as the party that destroyed America. Because that is what these bills will do.
I pray our Republican representatives in Congress realize that they MUST stand together!
ihasurnominashun on January 29, 2009 at 3:25 PM
Wasn’t it Rush that said he has absolutely no interest in making friends with the liberals? Would rather just utterly defeat them at every turn? Something like that.
I hope he has a real good tax accountant.
Food taster…bomb dog…etc.
BigWyo on January 29, 2009 at 3:29 PM
It floors me when these anchors at a BUSINESS channel start sounding like Leftists.
American business “leaders” should be kissing Limbaugh’s derriere, but instead they are signing on for the handouts and kickbacks from the Democrats in Washington, a form of the Stockholm Syndrome.
Only America could breed such a stupid and corrupt business class.
TexasJew on January 29, 2009 at 3:43 PM
I’ll believe that Obama is bi-partisan the day he goes to the Democrats in Congress and tells them that he won’t deal with them if they listen to CNN.
logis on January 29, 2009 at 3:43 PM
Demand an investigation of Rangel, PRESIDENT Ogabe, lets see how far your bipartisanship goes.
Bishop on January 29, 2009 at 3:58 PM
I mentioned this on another thread, but it bears repeating.
This White House political operation is in for a big surprise if they think there are vulnerable House Republicans they can go after over this vote. There aren’t. Rahm Emanuel made sure of that over the last two cycles, spending millions to defeat moderates like Sue Kelly and Chris Shays, and urban Republicans like Anne Northup. The Republicans that survived the last two elections are as safe as you can get. Any they have no need, philosophically or politically, to give Obama or especially Nancy Pelosi any political cover. Obama is going to get a lot of “talk to the hand” from them, and he had better get used to it.
The Senate is a different story, of course.
rockmom on January 29, 2009 at 3:59 PM
A fair number of CEOs have been hired mostly for their public relations rather than business management skills.
Consider Jeffrey Immelt of GE whose green PR campaign and various other touchy-feely diversions have seriously damaged that company. Similar thing happened several years back to Kodak when they wanted their CEO to merely look diverse instead of competent. Same thing happened to Hewlett-Packard where the shakedown from their recent diversity-socialite squabble continues behind closed doors. And, of course, there’s the government protected CEO hacks like Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick who looted Fannie / Freddie and are laughing all the way to the bank at their political immunity from penalty.
viking01 on January 29, 2009 at 4:02 PM
Don’t forget that these are the same nutjobs who, in the same show segment, will talk about how high gasoline prices put a damper on the economy, then turn around with a straight face and declare the oil markets are BOOMING and that price growth in crude will make it a good year for energy companies…Back to you, Bob!
BobMbx on January 29, 2009 at 4:04 PM
Okay, if the dems vote our way, then it will be bi-partisan…everyone will be voting the same way, both parties.

The male CNBC anchor, Mark Haines, is a lazy, cud-chewing cow who is a shill for the Democratic Party, and therefore fits right in at CNBC.
Notice how much more interesting the interview becomes when Haines shuts his worthless pie-hole.
jay12 on January 29, 2009 at 4:05 PM
Like Rush says, it only takes a little corner of his brain to defeat the liberal stooges.
Whoever the guy “reporter” is in the clip, he needs to go back to “journalism” school for a refresher.
On second thought, that probably IS what they teach in “journalism” school.
notagool on January 29, 2009 at 4:11 PM
The ‘founding fathers’ wanted partisanship. They wanted the representatives of different views to argue and fight over bills before they were passed or rejected.
My only regret is they didn’t require the members of the House to vote on each piece of legislation by all the parties having a ‘Shootout’ in front of the Capital Building.
I would be willing to bet that the Congress would have told Obama to stick S-Chip and all the other spending bills where the ‘sundon’tshine’.
Helloyawl on January 29, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Haines is one of legacy CNBC clowns who think they are the show and he’s the smartest guy in the room.He’s never wrong about anything and everyone must answer to him.
He’s basically an even stupider version of Bill O’Rielly

JiangxiDad on January 29, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Again we see the leftist’s form of jingoism where everything is just hunky-dory, as long as the left can make the rules. Leftists scream about wanting bi-partisanship until they actually have to support something they don’t like, i.e. supporting out troops, or loving the U.S., it’s more of the same from the left; “We want the country to succeed, but only if WE are in charge!” Eight years of anti-America, Bush Derangement Syndrome, has left Democrats in the toilet; if you believe a SINGLE word that Democrats say, you need your head examined.
Democrats have learned well from the propaganda handbook….The FIRST rule of propaganda being;
“People will believe a lie if they are afraid it is true or they want it to be true.”
nelsonknows on January 29, 2009 at 4:40 PM
Asked about Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge’s campaigning against the plan, she responded, “I don’t speak to that. I am the Speaker of the House. I don’t get into that”

These talk radio hosts have tens of millions of listeners, and have never made anything of it. They need to build a mass movement. Not of Republicans or Conservatives, or do-do heads that listen to talk radio or Fox …that’s NOT the answer. The answer is to build a brand new mass movement with a completely clean slate. With patriotic, God-fearing, Bible-believing, Americans to build this country – because as you read this, at this very moment, the political elite are destroying it. Americans know that we’re going in the wrong direction. Americans are hungry for answers! They urgently want new leadership. They urgently want new hope. You wanna save America and take America back, Rush? COMPLETELY CHANGE THE STATUS QUO and build a mass movement. Then you’ll help the silent majority of this country and begin putting this country back on the right track.

First week in office the President picks a fight with Rush. First week in office pretty much chaos. Nothing he has done deserves praise of keeps America safe and solvent. No Republican votes for his Stimulus package. I’d say that this hasn’t been a very good week. But we could see it coming when he had his first press conference after the election. Didn’t go well there either. I don’t see much competence in this person. He is in way over his head.

He’s like seeing Geraldo Rivera on Fox. Instant off.

Exactly what happens in this home also. Any of us hear Geraldo’s voice, and the channel gets switched immediately.
Pelosi pushed this bill through Congress before the 600+ pages could be thoroughly digested by pundits of any type, therefore the American people could not stand in the way. Earlier today, Rasmussen came out with some numbers that are very revealing; the approval numbers on this pork bill have fallen from 56% approval, to 42% approval. The people are paying attention and the approval rating will only drop further as more and more people find out the facts about this absolute rip-off of the American tax payer. I just found out today, that millions of our dollars were tucked away in the back of this pork bill for illegal alien benefits. Yep, that’s right folks! This is not a stimulus bill, this is an attempt to pay back every Liberal operation that Obama-Democrats owe for the hundreds of millions raised for Obama and other Democrats, and a method to create enough voters dependent upon government as to assure certain Democrat victories for decades to come.
How freakin dirty can these people get! It’s all about power at any cost. I hate these people with every fiber in my body….
