Dowd: Who Are You Calling a Narcissist, Rush?
I had a four-hour dinner once with Rush Limbaugh at the “21” Club in Manhattan, back in the days when I was still writing profiles as a “reporterette,” to use a Limbaugh coinage.
He was charming, in a shy, awkward, lonely-guy way. Not a man of the people. He arrived in a chauffeured town car and ordered $70-an-ounce Beluga, Porterhouse and 1990 Corton-Charlemagne.
But he was not a Neanderthal, though he did have a cold and blew his nose in his napkin. He talked about Chopin’s Polonaise No. 6, C.S. Lewis and how much he loved the end of the movie “Love Story.”
In those days, he called himself a “harmless little fuzzball.” He’s a lot less harmless now. I went on to columny, as my pal Bill Safire called it, and Rush went on to calumny.

All i can say if she got a Pulitzer, they are hard up for people to receive. Along with the Noble Peace as well. she is not only a narcisistic twit but ugly as well. I think it is her innerself coming through to her face.

Dowd is a washed up NYT's writer who has absolutely no class. Her big claim to fame was dating Michael Douglas a couple of times. Now that's BIG! (so) Even had to be scolded by an archbishop--naughty Mo.

A narcissist does not talk about his past problems, he is never humble. Rush, in his comedic way is both. So Ms. Dowd is wrong again as usual. Why people listen to her is amazing to me.

What's so funny is you will find more libs here bashing Rush than on the other discussions boards which are discussing much more important pending legislation. BO has you guys trained well!! You should be proud...mmm...mmm...mmm : )

"The 48-year-old Obama is skinny and getting skinnier, but there’s nothing childish about him. He more or less raised himself and came to terms with his Oedipal demons on his own, and he radiates a hard-won maturity."
what is she talking about -- "he radiates a hard-won maturity"????????? how about an affirmative-action maturity -- he was a neglected orphan who got swept up into the black liberation movement - he went from organizing communities and bullying banks in the Community Reinvestment Act (yes, the same one that caused the entire worlds economy to crash) to suddenly becoming an historic presidential candidate. He is like a little fawn caught in the headlights, not even a full grown deer -- he is clueless and is the messiah-like face of The Evil Left

Hi! I'm revisionist history!

Gee, is Maureen missing Rush? Is he the "one that got away"?
"Move on", Honey. He sure has....
As far as Rush's "narcissism" goes -- if La Dowd can't recognize true humility when she sees it (not surprising), she at least could grow a sense of humor.

Dowd represents what has taken over the old democrat party. Her ilk are known as academic Markist. A generation reared on the hate filled teachings of Marcuse and Alinsky. We all know their hate is the epicenter for radical left political indoctrination. To be fair the old democrat party should be re-named the New Marxist Democrats. Obama is the figurehead and leader of this movement.

It's disinformation or trash talk. I thought at first the warning of a virus was fake, but then I saw the warning was by a conservative not a trollish lib.

There will be a LOT more prescription drug addicts if Obamacare passes. Oxycontin is cheaper than surgery or physical therapy. Pain Management will become the #1 medical specialty in the US because palliative care is so much cheaper than medical treatment that could actually cure something. You can be certain that the government will find the cheapest way for everything (unless it's congressional travel).

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm on board with you on this one. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement was just another thing that Bush was stonewalling the public on keeping the talks secret. It was nice to shake the stick at Bush on one more thing. And people thought Obama would open these discussions, and he didn't.
IMHO
Secret? Please expound on your great knowledge. Psst...hate to break it to you, but this is old news. Sorry if you did not keep up.

THE NEW DANGERS

A Presidential Executive Order, whether Constitutional or not, becomes law simply by its publication in the Federal Registry. Congress is by-passed. Here are just a few Executive Orders that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10995 allows the government to seize and control the communication media.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10997 allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels and minerals.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 10998 allows the government to take over all food resources and farms.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11000 allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11001 allows the government to take over all health, education and welfare functions.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11002 designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11003 allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11004 allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate communities, build new housing with public funds, designate areas to be abandoned, and establish new locations for populations.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11005 allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways and public storage facilities.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11051 specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.
* EXECUTIVE ORDER 11310 grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.
*
How is that change looking? Are you still asleep? When would NOW be a time to wake up?

Now this, I'm not really sure what your point it. You point out a bunch of executive orders that have been around for decades through numerous Presidents, Democratic and Republican. Then you end it with "How's that change looking?" implying the blame is on Obama. That's disingenuous to the point of outright lying.

Come on, Maureen. Why didn't you mention that you "serviced" him at the table, you know, like you do every other man with a big fat wallet? Rush will never admit to it because he has too much pride.

Dowd is a gay atheist. What else could fill her paradigm but hate for Christians. She has no reason to care about the future of America. I have several children and 12 grandchildren. I will sacrifice ANYTHING so my kids & grandkids will have FREEDOM!!!
