THE LEFT
"The new epitome for turning lemons into lemonade goes to talk show giant
Rush Limbaugh. In the frothy wake of the perpetual acrimonious partisan
spitting match between left and right, Limbaugh has eviscerated his petty
mean spirited critics AND gifted a worthy charity with a financial windfall.
The New Jersey-based Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, a charity that
gives scholarship money to the children of service members killed in war or
in public duty, will receive $4.2 million... The record setting e-Bay sale
of a two-page letter (plus two additional pages of autographs) from Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid to Clear Channel Communications CEO Mark Mays
ripping Limbaugh, was bought by DC philanthropist Betty Brown Casey for $2.1
million and was matched in kind by Limbaugh... Forty-one myopic partisan
Democratic senators signed the letter (which they knew was a lie),
demonstrating both their picayune pettiness and massive mob myopia. Rush
said, 'It got this kind of money because it represents one of the most
outrageous abuses of federal power in modern American history, and that is
what makes it a collector's item. This letter that Senator Reid wrote will
forever memorialize him as a demagogue.'... Contrast Congress with Betty
Brown Casey and Rush Limbaugh and the variance is significant. Rush gets an
'Attaboy'... Dingy Harry and his mean spirited minions get a wilted
raspberry. More importantly, The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation
gets $4.2-Million." -Geoff Metcalf
