so much for patriotic

"Asked along with other prominent political types to write 400 words on his hopes for the president, Limbaugh said: "I don't need 400 words. I need four: I hope he fails.""

Not that you can't disagree - I spent the last 8 years pretty much on the opposite side of everything but no matter how much I didn't like BUSH - I wanted things to turn out well for the country - I wouldn't say I hope he fails.

Here's an example of Rush family values:
Limbaugh acknowledged an addiction to painkillers in 2003 and was arrested three years later. (Prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of prescription fraud if he underwent treatment.) He has been married and divorced three times.


Limbaugh's listening audience is relatively narrow -- it is predominantly white, male and politically conservative - and I don't like any of them.

while I can't speak to Rush, 'cause I'm not a listener, I did go to the transcript and he said much more than those four words. I don't defend the comment in quotations you cited, I think it's wrong to say you hope for a president to fail, because ultimately the country fails. I think the statement was more of a shock statement to get people to call in. I would hope what he meant is that he hopes the ideas fail, because he believes the country will fail if some of the ideas come to fruition. I do listen to conservative talk radio, and the hosts I listen to want the country to prosper, but think this huge bailout and some of the other socialist ideas are not the way to prosperity.
