It is always the "Evil Conservatives." And Ann Coulter for being nasty. Until the Liberals get quoted.
>>>>In an interview with Esquire, Alterman said, "I hate to say it, but I wish the guy would have gone deaf. I shouldn't say that, but on behalf of the country, it would be better without Rush Limbaugh and his 20 million listeners."
So much to say, but may I start with a language point, I know, I can make a language point out of anything. But I'm awfully tired of the locution,I wish the guy would have gone deaf? (for example). It's "I wish the guy had gone deaf." If you're going to wish a life calamity on a great man, at least do it in proper English, for heaven's sake.
I hear all around me: "If only I would have known" (again, for example). Fittin' to drive me nuts.
I listened to a tape of Rush reading and discussing Alterman's remarks. After he read the remarks . . . he laughed. Laughed it off, really. That's just like Rush. He also mentioned that, when John Candy died, some liberals said, "Why couldn't it have been Rush Limbaugh instead?? (Maybe they actually said, "I wish it would have been Rush Limbaugh instead"!)
(John Candy was a quite overweight actor, and this was before Rush underwent his big weight loss.)
Rush went on to say: And they call us mean-spirited?<<<<
