THE unCIVIL WAR

Rush's non-apology says a lot more about his ego being much larger than his brain than it does about sincerity and genuine regret. The country has tolerated this ranter for far too many years - I hope he loses all air time and contracts.

What passes for responsibility in his book is quite strange, so what words would have been okay?

And we are to believe that he was trying to be funny? Wow, that's a stretch.

LIZ'S LOOSE LIPS

It just happened when I tuned in to C-span yesterday afternoon looking for something to watch on the tube, I caught a portion of a panel at the AIPAC conference and Liz Cheney, Jane Harmon and some Mid-East academic, (male) were the panelists.

The moderator gave free rein to Liz's venom revealing her hatred of President Obama, Harmon responded in disagreement with her but still that doesn't acquit Liz of what I consider treasonous language and you should have seen it and read her facial expressions. She was licking her chops at getting in that much scalding of the President. She called him Israel's worst enemy!!!!! Of course the hawks in the audience loved it.......at least that is my interpretation by the sound of applause, the camera did not show the audience so I don't know who or how many were at this particular event. There apparently were many on the schedule and others were to be shown later on C-Span, hopefully they would be more balanced.

A "MUST READ"

Since Netanyahou and the POTUS are meeting, this article provides background for understanding the significance of that.

Prepare yourself. Don't be an uninformed witness to history.

AGITATORS

This is my term for the likes of Limbaugh. He has been a woman hater for at least twenty years. Vitriol is his stock in trade. Now with the surplus of media coverage a la cable, the bait gets him just the sort of attention and controversy he craves. And on the internet you would not believe the extreme radical conspiratorial scenarios that are also spawned. The late Mr Breitbart belongs in the same category.

Twenty years ago on a motor trip across the midwest, we kept the radio on in order to listen for weather warnings, even back then there was always the possibility that one would need to get off the road because of hail and stormy loss of visibility. The only radio station that was receivable was one where Limbaugh reigned, I was ready to take the radio out and toss it, he was so anti-feminist even back then. I think he doesn't have a brain, just fat inside like the outside.

What Limbaugh should provoke is a campaign to totally ignore him.......he is like a kid that misbehaves in order to grab attention. The cable coverage is a sucker reaction.

FLUB FLUB FLUB

Maybe Romney wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth but I think maybe he was born with a PAIR of shoes in his mouth --- at least.

?Light his hair on fire? Mitt the word is "set". Then who can forget his "severely" conservative wording. Was that a teleprompter misread of "seriously" or a memory mid-life moment?

I am wondering if he has some weird brain wiring causing a speech disorder. Political aphasia? Well just cure it by taking those shoes out of the mouth.

VER-R-R-Y INTERESTING!!

Charlie Rose had Jon Huntsman on as guest for a second time --again as repository of knowledge regarding relations with China -- , and if ever the republicans could get unjacked from the extremists, he would be the man that should be the moderate Republican nominee. My feeling is that he left the campaign because he wouldn't be tainted by the Tea Party and ilk.

Maybe he would be the ideal third party draft choice. How can that be brought about?

ACCOLADES

My salute to Bob Kerrey.....I am thrilled that he is answering again, the call to serve his country and will run for the senate, the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Nelson, who has been a disappointment. Kerrey has my admiration for many reasons. He is to be respected for his college presidency and innovations in higher education. No post congressional service of influence peddling for him. Not on your life.

Senator Mitch McConnell better take cover.

I hope there is someone in Maine that will run for the seat being vacated by Senator Snowe, and sorry that the extremists in her party are forcing the moderate republicans off the public stage.

It is time the extremists meet their match.
