He makes some good points regarding Tom Brokaw and Chris Matthews.

Also I did not watch it did Obama's peeps really sing na na na na , hey hey hey , Good Bye to W? Talk about CLASS!

David Limbaugh: New Column: They're Poor Winners Too


Leftists are always lecturing Republicans and conservatives on the importance of civility and bipartisanship yet revealing, whether winner or losing, that they are the ones who need lessons in manners and collegiality.

If you aren't convinced of the left's nonpareil arrogance and nastiness from observing their behavior toward President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the past eight years, then contrast the behavior of Mr. Bush's staff leaving office and that of Mr. Clinton's, who literally trashed the White House like juvenile delinquents.

Fast-forwarding to this week, did you see Obama supporters booing President Bush at the inauguration, singing, "Na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye"? Pure class.

The Washington Times reported that these same Obama supporters mocked Mr. Cheney "with derisive laughter when he appeared on huge TV screens by the Capitol grounds, rolling down a ramp in a wheelchair after suffering a back injury moving out of his Naval Observatory home. 'Good riddance!' one man yelled."

Nor was it just rude mobs at the parade. "Hardball" host Chris Matthews wasn't content to bask in his euphoria over Obama's assumption of office. Like many of his colleagues, he needed to kick Bush as he was going out the door. "There'll be no more bullying of the world, no more acting like one of the bad guys on occasion. We're going to try again to be the good guy of the world and to get along with our fellow democracies. It is a dramatic change that's to come." Dramatic, indeed, Chris.
Then we saw the surviving Dean of Network Broadcasters, Tom Brokaw, tackily, nay, sadistically remarking, "It's unfortunate for Vice President Cheney to have had this accident, obviously, because there will be those who don't like him who will be writing tomorrow that he had a Dr. Strangelove appearance as he appeared today in his wheelchair." Well, Tom, the only writing about this I've seen is in reference to your snide comment.

In case you think this was uncharacteristic of Brokaw's general attitude, then perhaps you didn't hear about his other comparison. NewsBusters reported that he likened the mood of the inauguration crowd to what he'd observed at the fall of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. "It reminds me of the Velvet Revolution," he said. While he "charitably" conceded that Bush's administration was not a communist regime that had been overthrown, he remarked, "An unpopular president is leaving, and people have been waiting for this moment. And there's that same sense of joyfulness and possibility, even though, as in Czechoslovakia, they had enormous problems, and we do, as well." (And these clowns accuse my brother of being over-the-top.)

If you have a particular masochistic streak and want to overdose on the liberal media's bias, run a quick LexisNexis search and read the comments from "journalists" accompanying the inauguration of President George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan. Ann Coulter's recent column contained a few choice examples.

One might think the new post-partisan president himself would have broken from this trend and exuded the singular kind of collegiality for which he is celebrated. But in the midst of his lofty speech, he couldn't pass up a few digs at the exiting administration, either: "The time has come to set aside childish things. … Our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions, that time has surely passed."

Obama also couldn't resist a jab at the knuckle-dragging science-averse, apparently for failing to swallow the left's uncompromising faith-based opinion, which has come under increasing scientific challenge (31,000-plus scientists and counting), that human activities are leading to apocalyptic global warming. "We will restore science to its rightful place," he said. I assume "its rightful place" is in service to leftist propaganda.

Unfortunately, this superior, blame-assigning attitude was not just inaugural rhetoric; it has made its way onto the new White House agenda Web site. Under "Katrina," it boasts: "President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur." They also take a shot at the Bush administration on military contracts. They will "develop a strategy for determining when contracting makes sense, rather than continually handing off governmental jobs to well-connected companies."

For further proof of how bipartisanship and tolerance will work under Democratic rule, just read the news, hot off the presses, of Connecticut Democrats demanding an apology from Sen. Joe Lieberman for criticizing and failing to support Obama.

As events of the past week have shown, liberals are every bit as bad at winning as they are at losing.

The guy should stay with his head where he always is. He's the one talking about class !!??
W is history, that's a fact. He didn't complement the nation with too much regard for 8 years. What's there to be surprised.

What else would one expect from a character like Rushbo. Same as Hannity. Knock, knock, anybody home?

Clinton's people trashed the White House? I had heard about this, but the General Services Adminsitration, who's job it is to take care of Federal buildings, says it never took place.

The cost to redo the White House after Clinton left, according to the GSA, was about $150,000. That included drapes, carpets, worn furniture, etc.

Read the beginning article of this thread with a close eye and look for the facts. There is a lot of opinion, but the facts are few and those that are are , in my opinion, are of little importance.

As for Brokaw's assertion that this was like the Velvet Revolution; a friend of mine was there for that and I asked him to compare the two. He said the first few hours (in his opinion) were like the inauguration, but the Velvet Revolution died out pretty quick when the Russian tanks showed up. Hopefully this adminsitration will last longer than a few days.

I saw the entire inauguration broadcast, and people did boo Bush. Out of the perhaps 1.5 million people there it sounded like a hundred or so were booing.

I also saw John McCain's concession speech, and the boo's there, when McCain said something nice about Obama, were loud and long and by almost everyone there. McCain had to tell the crowd to calm down. Even Palin was booing.

I have not heard any Dr. Strangelove jokes about Cheney, but I did think his back must have really been torn-up for him to be in the wheelchair that day. Hopefully he will get well soon. I also hope his wife is not scolding him for trying to do so much. (Now, Dick, you know at your age you should not be trying to move those books, why....)

Pooka

Rumor has it Cheney threw out his back carrying files to the shredder. Where is Fawn Hall?

Rush Limbaugh, and his listeners, are all morons. PERIOD.

I don't think Rush listens to anything except the loud rushing in his ears from years of drug abuse.

From all accounts, Neanderthals were really nice people and hardly ever practiced ritual human sacrifice. Now those Cro-Magnons, they were a nasty bunch.
