Rush Limbaugh Gushes Over Erin Burnett

First Posted: 03/28/08 03:45 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 01:15 PM ET

TVNewser:

Joe Scarborough finally nabbed Rush Limbaugh for Morning Joe, and, naturally, Scarborough wanted to get right into politics. But Limbaugh wasn't quite ready. Rush's segment followed a few minutes after Erin Burnett's daily business report for Joe and she was still connected to the MSNBC control room:

Scarborough: Let's talk about the Republican field... Limbaugh: Wait a minute, Joe. Before you go there, I have to say something. I heard Erin Burnett sounding a little wifey, Erin, you said you're gonna be listening. I love listening to myself, but it's great to know you're listening to me too. Nobody can big foot you, Erin... Burnett: I got bigfooted out, that's what happened Rush. Limbaugh: The truth is that anybody that follows you, Erin, can't match what you've done. Burnett: Thank you, Rush. Scarborough: That is big. Getting that from Mr. Excellence in Broadcasting right there. Burnett: You made my day. I'm done now, I'm going home.

Erin Burnett and Rush Limbaugh deserve each other. They are both right-wing nutjobs.

Joe was wrong to trash O'Reilly but let Limbaugh off the hook.

As for the Lori Klausutis conspiracy, was Joe a suspect? No. Is he currently under investigation? No. Is there any evidence that he had anything beyond a boss/employee relationship with the aid? No. Did Joe announce he was resigning two months BEFORE the aide died? Yes. Has any legitimate left-wing news media like The Nation or Mother Jones or Air America taken any interest in this story? No. Has the aid's loved ones accepted that her death was an accident? Yes, and they recently told The Miami Herald they did. Move on people and stop causing this woman's family unnnecessary pain.

GUIDE FOR WOMEN GETTING INTIMATE WITH RUSH

Make sure Oxycontin has kicked in. Beware of flop sweat.

Throw him a banana

shave his back

Wait until he's asleep then leave

Note: at least get a few dinners out of it before the non-consumation

Rush was never married to Darin Kagan of CNN.

I didn't see this because I don't watch that stupid Joe show but Erin Burnett is annoying. I don't like her at all on CNBC and to think these guys are fawning over her is revolting.

Rumor has it that Larry Flynt is about to drop a bombshell on Rush's "sex tourism" trips to Dominican Rebublic and Thailand. This could be the big one we've all been waiting for.

Actually, I don't think Scarborough "nabbed" Limbaugh. Mr. Limbaugh is a pompous blowhard who rarely gives interviews. Limbaugh owed Scarborough. Notice, at the end of their conversation, Rush than Scarborough for all his support over the last three years. Scarborough and his sidekick Willie Geist (previously seen canoodling with the host of Tucker Carlson's extemely low rated show) ran a totally distorted editing of Limbaugh degrading "phony soldiers" comment and told audiences the lie that Limbaugh was talking about a specific individual. Geist went so far as to claim he read the transcript. Any honest reading of the transcript shows that Geist and Scarborough's claim was pure BS spin.
As for Burnett, she's simply a pretty, moderately capable young woman who knows upon what side of the bread her butter lies, though her Rush gush was rather stomach turning.

"And then there is Joe having Rush on his show and calling Rush, "Mr. Excellence in Broadcasting."

Am I wrong, I thought he was being sarcastic.

No, that's his actual nickname. Rush doesn't recognize irony.
12:25 PM on 10/24/2007
But he's good at picking up the scent of Oxycontin in the dark.

Now that I mentioned it, where is the story about Welfare Radio (Air America) being dropped here on Huff&Puff? Do you see a pattern here moonbats. Do you understand you are spoon fed filtered information? Haven’t you wondered why you’re so naive about the real world and seldom have all the facts?

Your media only tells you what you want to hear.
09:22 AM on 10/24/2007
Seriously, you sound high. We too have radios and have heard Rush Limbaugh. We just recognize he's meant for entertainment purposes only.
05:40 AM on 10/24/2007
And now that I mentioned it, where is the story about Welfare Radio (Air America) being dropped here on Huff&Puff? No story to be seen here. Are you getting the pattern here Liberals. Do you wonder why your always ignorant of the real world facts and so naive about reality.
It is because you are spoon fed filtered information. They only tell you what you want to hear, not what reality is.
05:33 AM on 10/24/2007
I see you Liberals are still smarting from the public spanking RUSH put on your guys with his 4.2 million letter for the troops.

And I understand your frustration as another station has dropped Welfare Radio (Air America) in all places but VERY LIBERAL Austin.

When are you moonbats going to learn if you mess with RUSH you always get the 2x4 between the eyes and public humiliation.

But please keep it up. I enjoy the belly laughs.

"mess with RUSH..........."

LOL

Your hero list is laughable. Suggest you change it soon as those close to you can put it to good use when they decide to commit you.

Fat boy spends 4.2 million and everyone knows he's still a liar.
08:31 PM on 10/23/2007
This was totally misconstrued. Just like you liberals. She was totally the wrong sex and she was over 10.
08:17 PM on 10/23/2007
I'll bet that ol'Rush couldn't get a date with this woman to save his life. Yuck, and double yuck.

I'll never forget the footage of him introducing his last wife (divorced) by patting the side of his leg like you would encouraging a pet dog on the stage. Yeah, I'll bet these professional women would realllllly love....Rush.

The thing that gets me is that Rush is nothing but a Junkie high most of the time so what does it say about the Trolls who listen and believe his bullshit
07:21 PM on 10/23/2007
Isn't Erin a little old for Rush?
