Potential felon/pillhead Limbaugh becomes official unpaid advisor to Bush

statement from his show (possible equal time violations with FCC?):

Rush Limbaugh Becomes Official Unpaid Advisor to Bush-Cheney '04
September 13, 2004
I made an official announcement to open the program today. I have become, and have been for a while, an official, unpaid advisor to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, and we decided to go public with this because there's no problem with it whatsoever.

There was thought about my stepping down from the Golden EIB Microphone two or three days a week on the days that I was giving advice, but we decided not to do that. There's no conflict here. There's absolutely no conflict whatsoever. The line has been successfully blurring now for years and years and years.

I will not be giving up my precious seat behind the Golden EIB Microphone. I will continue to serve both functions with credibility on both sides, an official unpaid advisor to the Bush-Cheney reelection campaign '04, as well as your host here on the EIB Network.

1. How many pills are they supplying him with?

Gotta keep that oxy rolling in!

[Catfight]

2. Just another law breaker joining the party of unethical behavior, Rush has

found his home. If they all get together, they can talk about what they were doing while Nam was going on.

[Beaverhausen]

3. Is that story from The Onion?

there is NO WAY it is true. :evilgrin:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. it's real

from right off the upper right corner of the drug addict's webpage

[gospelized]

4. i don't want to hear another word

about Carville 'advising' the kerry campaign.

i can't belive the blatant fucking hypocrisy.

[zbdent]

5. If they can try to kick out Carville off Crossfire

then Rush is definitely a huge target (pun intended) . . .

12. Are there legal issues here?

It seems to me there must be some laws about the separation of the press and the government, but if they exist I don't know what they are.

6. One doper to another.

[newsguyatl]

8. and he's dating cnn's daryn kagan.

no conflict of interest, nothing to see here.

[Jade Fox]

9. I hope the Kerry campaign keeps track of some of the more hateful/wacko..

things he says so they can be thrown in the face of that Compassionate
Conservative George W. Bush.

[Pepperbelly]

10. with Bushie's coke and Windbag's oxycontin ... it equals out. nt

[librechik]

11. Limpy and Chimpy, AWOL Klowns for Truth!

kewl, they're going to be BONG BUDDIES!

yeah that's some HIGH LEVEL credibility on BOTH sides of your bipolar swings, "Rush."

Hmmm...

"Your precious seat next to the microphone"
Is that the one with the inflatable donut for your life-giving pilonoidal cyst? Is it still talking at you and telling you Bush is God?

Guess you just had to copy Carville!

[mitchum]

13. Goddamn, bloviating, hypocritical, cock sucking, shit-eating...

scumbag. Drop dead!

Did I ever mention how much I hate him?

[area51]

14. *become*?

Rusty Limpballs said:

"I have become, and have been for a while, an official, unpaid advisor...."

WTF? Give me a break, he's always been an advisor to the nazi party.

[mitchum]

15. Maybe bush and cheney want to know the finer points of teabagging...

or how to crush up the Oxys for maximum kick?
They certainly don't need to consult with him about the art of lying.

[AlCzervik]

16. First let me say i hate The Pigboy Junkie

but i was listening to Al Franken today and he saud the he himself is a surrogate for Kerry. Limpballs has probably been an "Unpaid advisor" to many candidates for years but for some readon now he's choosong to admit it.

17. a thrice-divorced, junkie, closet queen

catching a heretofore untapped demographic for *

[walldude]

18. No conflict eh..

then why was fat boy bitching yesterday about Ben Barnes working for the Kerry campaign? "Ok, well he,s not "working" for him but anyone who speaks against Bush is basically working for Kerry". What a Dork!

[bvar22]

19. As someone suggested on another GD thread....

this may be enough to demand that his program be removed from the Armed Services Network.

Only question: to whom do we send our demands?

[TexasLady]

20. EIB

Excellence in Blow-jobs...

Bush tunes in daily to see where the country is at....:puke:

[Green Lantern]

21. I guess it's true

birds of a feather do flock together.

[napi21]

22. And you think this is something new?

Oxy boy has been the big mouthpiece for Shrub for at least 5 years now. Do you really believe he hasn't been conversing with Rove and the other controlling interests for all that time?

I suspect, since there's been a number of Pub insiders have to quit because of conflict of interest concerns, he's playing CYA. His damn ditto heads will keep him on the air, and he's doing a legal CYA to protect himself.

[Chomskyite]

23. Then it's a shakeup

The Bush campaign is in disarray. Henny Penny the sky is falling.

I can see the headlines now.

[DeepModem Mom]

24. sick kick

[dmr]

25. Where's the equal time?

At least Carville is sitting next to Novak or Bow Tie Boy - that presents equal time.

At no cost to the Bush* presidential campaign war chest: Rush is sitting there for how many hours per week, representing a presidential candidate, which part of it is being transmitted to our military overseas ... ?

This doesn't smell right. Is it legal?

[opihimoimoi]

26. How can this NOT BE in Conflict? Rush is advisor to the Prez and speaks to

the troops thru his show?
