Audio: Quote of the Day
posted at 10:00 pm on March 5, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
“The Power Line guys, the guys at Power Line blog have been stupendous, as have been the people at NewsBusters, and Hot Air, Ed Morrissey and some of the people at Hot Air. There’s some oddballs there, but Ed Morrissey, Michelle Malkin, they have been great on this.”

Heh. Guilty as charged.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Yeah, that’s right you are weird Allah, but that’s ok. The tent is big.
catlady on March 5, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Heh. Guilty as charged.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 7:13 PM
Don’t flatter yourself, Rush was talking about getaclue.
Bishop on March 5, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I heard this today and smiled a big smile. I love Hot Air oddballs and all.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Oddballpundit FTW!
Ed, great job holding down the fort today. Kudos
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Surely he was referring to DTMH…
winston on March 5, 2009 at 10:06 PM
I heard this live and thought for sure I’d see a gulp somewhere here.
Marcus on March 5, 2009 at 10:06 PM
aw geez rush, now the “oddballs” are gonna go and get a big head over this …
:-)
:-)
Buckaroo on March 5, 2009 at 10:06 PM
I’ll give you love. I come to HA for the oddballness!
tommylotto on March 5, 2009 at 10:07 PM
The word was “oddball.” Yeah…guilty as charged.
genso on March 5, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I’m tickled by the “oddball” mention, seriously.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:07 PM
I thought about you, Allah, when I heard El Rushbo say that today. But it was only because you were the only Hot Air employee not named. I’m sure Bishop is right, if only in saying that Rush meant commenters, not you.
sondiehl on March 5, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Dude, that is pure awesome.
DaveS on March 5, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Glad to see someone else noticed besides me.
Beto Ochoa on March 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Now, now, A/P, he didn’t name you.
capitalist piglet on March 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Allahpundit should hence forth be called Odballpundit. I heard this earlier today and Allah was the first thing to come to mind. HA!
Ampersand on March 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Come on…give AP a break. He came off of stay-cation for this. You know Rush was talking about him.
genso on March 5, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Nah, I’m sure he meant me. All the HA commenters are Rush fans/defenders. Obviously he saw Ed’s “Rushbo” post, to which I added an update. I’m sure it’s directed at me.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Rushs “almost always right” ratings are going up again! 99.1%
roninacreage on March 5, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Heh, funny how we all knew who he was referring to. I’m sure this is a dumb question with an easy answer i’m just not aware of, but why does Allah’s post have a 7:13 timestamp when this wasn’t posted until 10pm?
clearbluesky on March 5, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Allahpundit is an oddball, who the hell chooses to be an annonymous person? Who wants to go on a date and have to answer “So what do you do?”
“I write.”
“Write what?”
“I can’t tell you…”
Kudos Allahpunidt. And for goodness sakes get a drink with KP. Then tell us all about it!
Theworldisnotenough on March 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
He clearly meant AP… “Some of the people at hotair… there are some oddballs there, but Ed and Michelle have been…”
Clear.
DaveS on March 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I can see posts with a timestamp set to publish in the future hours before you guys can. Ed wrote this post hours ago.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Rush wasn’t about to give a shoutout to some atheist named Allhapundit, was he?
tommylotto on March 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I laughed when I heard this today. Sometimes the logic here boggles the mind.
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Great, an “oddball” thread! is this going to be a troll symposium?
neuquenguy on March 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Carefull Allah, CNN and MSNBC will want you as the Rush basher of the day. LOL
roninacreage on March 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
I’m visualizing Donald Sutherland wearing a tanker’s helmet, drinking wine, eating cheese, fending off negative waves…yeah, that’s AP.
Fletch54 on March 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
HAHA!
katy on March 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM
“Oddballpundit” it is and “Oddballpundit” it shall be, henceforth.
I too thought of allah when I heard Rush say that. Sorry!
fivefeetoffury on March 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM
It’s was a humorous way of plugging the site, without condoning everything said. Fun times.
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Hey Allah, you could use Odballpundit, it still has your last name in it.
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 10:13 PM
er Oddballpundit.
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
If Limbaugh is calling you an oddball, you are alright by me.
terryannonline on March 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Yeah, it was a love tap. If anything, I was a little miffed that he didn’t single me out for opprobrium.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
When do the ratings for Rush’s show come out? I’d be interested to see what Monday’s rating were. Also, AP, have you had a surge in traffic since Rush mentioned you?
genso on March 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Oh yes yes, I’m sure Rush takes the time to pore through the comments here.
SouthernDem on March 5, 2009 at 10:14 PM
I come here for the oddball as well.
Cheerleaders I can get anywhere.
AP and Ace, two of the best.
Sammy316 on March 5, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Who says he’s talking about Allah?
Maybe he referring to those of us in commentland who generally agree with him but wish he would tone down the name-calling & the ego.
jgapinoy on March 5, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Starting to sound a little like Rush now aren’t ya? All Allah all the time ;)
kerrhome on March 5, 2009 at 10:15 PM
What is it you don’t like about “Limbaugh“?
capitalist piglet on March 5, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Fletch54 on March 5, 2009 at 10:12 PM
LOL!!!!! you hit it exactly…
catlady on March 5, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Heh! Love it! Love Hot Air!
4shoes on March 5, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Maybe if we all email him tonight, you can get a shoutout tomorrow.
capitalist piglet on March 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
It wasn’t the commenters, because Rush has said in the past that he never reads the comments on blogs. So yeah, it’s AP.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Finally, someone got it right about AP.
promachus on March 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Not oddball. Eeyore.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on March 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Just not my cup of tea, alright.
terryannonline on March 5, 2009 at 10:17 PM
I like reading the work and opinions of both Ed Morrissey and Allahpundit. Keep it up.
ddrintn on March 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Yeah, our commenters love him. It would be bizarre to single them out as oddballs. They’re dittoheads.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
oddballs
AP , how can you be an oddballzzzzz?
katy on March 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Oddball? Translation: Interesting.
Jim on March 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Read Jeff Goldstein.
Stephen M on March 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Well, oddballs was plural, so both AP and assorted commentators can share in the name (though I suppose this does up the chances of AP being named moderator for the future Obama-Limbaugh debate…)
jon1979 on March 5, 2009 at 10:18 PM
He didn’t say “oddball”, he said “oddballs”.
It’s us commenters.
jgapinoy on March 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
By the way, you have to have “oddballs” to avoid becoming cookie-cutter.
ddrintn on March 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Who is Rush Limbaugh?
Greg Toombs on March 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Rush knows something we don’t
neuquenguy on March 5, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Er, not all the commenters love him.
terryannonline on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
F***in Rush!
Allah, you are not gonna let him get away with callin you an oddball are you?
It was one thing to call the President out, but callin Allah out?
AP, you gonna send Hitch after Rush or take the field vs. that phony great one?
Sapwolf on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Yeah Rush can be a pompous arrogant, whatever word you want to insert here, but you know what? He’s OUR pompous arrogant whatever word you want to insert here, so he’s ok. Like Michelle said, “he’s one voice” for us conservatives
catlady on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Oh. In that case, DTMH, benny shakar, getalife, capitulus and a few others should be thrilled at being mentioned on a national broadcast.
ddrintn on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Hey Allah, did you write KP to tell her? She may be impressed!
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Dittos.
jgapinoy on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
“You like me, you really like me!”
SouthernDem on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
And there should be many voices for conservatives.
catlady on March 5, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Yep
Sammy316 on March 5, 2009 at 10:21 PM
I laughed then felt bad that it might hurt your feelings. Glad you are okay with it. I wouldn’t want HotAir to be any other way.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 10:21 PM
I’ve been known to have a drink with an oddball every now and then. Is all good AP.
kahall on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
AP’s dead on with his interp. No way Rush wastes him time reading comments on the net. “It’s all good”, as Mr. Steele would say.
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
The head of the GOP.
jgapinoy on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Oddball
- The Cat
MirCat on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
“You like me, you really like me!”
SouthernDem on March 5, 2009 at 10:20 PM
I just had a “Smokey and the Bear” flashback.. OMG!!
catlady on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Yeah, when I listen to Rush I usually say to myself “That’s a pretty good point, you miserable insufferable egomaniac” fairly often. But he’s good at at what he does, and he’s number one for a reason.
justfinethanks on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
;-) Great idea. AP?
kahall on March 5, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Nope. If I’m an oddball to Rush, it’s because of what I said at 10:15.
jgapinoy on March 5, 2009 at 10:23 PM
I got mentioned on Limbaugh! Woo hoo!
amerpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:23 PM
You know, we need to come up with a name for ourselves along the dittohead line. I’ve used hotarians before, but if you say it out loud you sound like you describing some good looking Nazis. So what then? We need a name….and a sponsor who can hang our team picture on the office wall.
Weight of Glory on March 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
HotAir’s version of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly are the Good, the Oddball, and the Beauty. Guess who is who.
Paul-Cincy on March 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Heh, I thought he said adorable. I need to stop drinking at lunch…
javamartini on March 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Way to put up a vid that gets taken right down.
Free Constitution on March 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
He’s mentioned left wing loonies before, but didn’t use the word oddballs
neuquenguy on March 5, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Leave terryannonline alone about Rush, there are pundits who are not my cup of tea, I just keep it to myself. We need all kinds to appeal to all kinds.
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
I wonder who the “oddballs” are? ROTFL.
hockey2k5 on March 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
i wonder what the traffic on the site was after Rush said this.
custer on March 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
See what happens when you disagree with me in public Allah? I call you an oddball on my radio show.
csdeven on March 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
In other news: Robert Gibbs today was seen leaving the White House with an open cardboard box containing the contents of his desk. AP takes a “staycation.” Coincidence?
Jim Treacher on March 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
I did write to KP. She seemed underwhelmed. It’s hard to impress a woman like that.
Allahpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:25 PM
LOL!!!
Cindy Munford on March 5, 2009 at 10:26 PM
See what being an oddball gets you? You neither get patted on the back buy Rush nor attacked by Obama…That’s like being a man without a country! Time to kick start your third party.
TheBigOldDog on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
For thy name is Legion……
…… you’re welcom Rush.
Seven Percent Solution on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Ha, no Air Force One ride for AP :(
Spirit of 1776 on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
I think AP’s misconstruing this. I think he’s seen that some of the commenters here are…
well…how do I say this…
I don’t want to be insulting here…
don’t think I want to hurt anyone’s feelings or anything…but…
I think he’s talking about me.
MadisonConservative on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Perhaps some Birkenstocks?
carbon_footprint on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Would she prefer if Olbermann told his 17 viewers about you?
amerpundit on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
It is still there. Close and reopen or use another browser. FF seems to have this problem.
kahall on March 5, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Heh. BS! I remember all those nasty things you said about FRED! You know, back when everyone called you a troll.
