Limbaugh: Bush wasn’t partisan.

Limbaugh: Bush wasn’t partisan.

While much of the attention on Rush Limbaugh has focused on his stated desire to see President Obama fail, he has also been going around trying to secure President Bush’s legacy. Yesterday, for example, he appeared on Fox’s Hannity’s America and tried to argue that Bush wasn’t at all partisan:

RUSH: Well, I think he’s a decent man. He’s a – he had a reverence for the office, that’s why he didn’t get partisan. He thought it was irreverent to turn the Oval Office, or the Office of the Presidency, into a partisan strategic battle place. [...]

Yes, you know, domestic policy, he did some things that puzzled us – creating a new entitlement, the whole immigration thing, signing campaign finance reform. But he’s a good man. He’s not hated.

Watch it:

The public surely remembers Bush differently; after all, he left office with a 33 percent approval rating. In the wake of Karl Rove’s mass politicization of the federal government, the Justice Department scandals, and the suppression of science for politics, Limbaugh may be one of the few people in America who can claim with a straight face that Bush wasn’t “partisan.”

Transcript:

HANNITY: Let me ask you about the outgoing president. I appreciate the fact that George W. Bush went for an NSA program, a Patriot Act, enhanced interrogations – used all his political capital, sacrificed any public opinion approval numbers. And at the end of the day, reformed our national security and kept the country safe.

You don’t hear a good word about him. What are your thoughts about him? What are your thoughts?

RUSH: Well, I think he’s a decent man. He’s a – he had a reverence for the office, that’s why he didn’t get partisan. He thought it was irreverent to turn the Oval Office, or the Office of the Presidency, into a partisan strategic battle place.

He just didn’t want to do it. He was content to let history be the judge. I think – I heard Rove say even on your network that they miscalculated in not firing back on some of these things often enough because the president is the leader of his party and, as such, the leader of his troops.

And while he’s being criticized to smithereens, everybody who voted for him is, at the same time, and those people need leadership. The American people crave leadership.

Our side doesn’t offer any electoral leadership. There’s not one elected official that is offering our side any leadership. That’s one of the things Obama does. He makes people think he’s leading them. He inspires confidence in them. We have to admit that.

And it’s not going to help us to continue to cave and invest our hopes in him. I know what our strategy is. They’re hoping he fails, so that they can go back and say, We wanted him to succeed. We gave it everything we got. We worked with him, but -

That’s not how it works, because whenever they fall out of unison with him – if they do, the attacks on them are just going to be vicious.

HANNITY: It’s coming.

RUSH: It’s coming. They should know that it’s going to happen no matter what they do, so do the right thing. But Bush? He’s a decent man, and his -

I don’t think people understand. You’re president of the United States, 9/11 happens. You don’t know what’s going to happen the next two hours that night, the next day. You take the oath of office, defend and protect the Constitution and the people.

Obviously, they had to focus exclusively on that. That’s the job, as he determined it, and we haven’t been hit since in this country. Yes, you know, domestic policy, he did some things that puzzled us – creating a new entitlement, the whole immigration thing, signing campaign finance reform. But he’s a good man. He’s not hated.

Update On Friday, Rep. Jerry Moran (R-KS) said that it has been easier to work with Obama than it was with Bush: "The times I interacted with President Bush, generally, I'd get summoned to the White House because I disagreed with something that the president was for. He kind of lectured. It was about 'are you with me or against me.'" Moran said that with Obama, there appeared to be "some level of common ground we can agree upon."

    Limbaugh should go take an overdose! Why is this druggie not in prison?


  2. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Life sure must be blissful when you can bend your version of reality to suit your whims.

    I think “reality” forces most of us to grow beyond that stage in early childhood, say around ages four to six.

    I guess Limbaugh resisted that uncomfortable transition.

    See he was in Sean Hannity’s america, not the United States of America. See up is down, wet is dry, and so on in Hannity and Rush’s America. It’s ok carry on.

  6. liberalinaredstate says:

    Excuse me while I clean the coffee from my screen. WOW Bush not partisan. Bush is/was a partisan hack! Rush and Hannity and their respective hard on’s for Bush is infuriating to say the least. Just look at the Justice Dept! I’m tired of hearing “Bush is a nice guy”…So what, Its Bullshit!


  7. Little Freep Goofballs says:

    “Limbaugh: Bush wasn’t partisan.”

    A tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    signifying nothing.

    Except likely brain damage.


  8. ElBruce says:

    Republican-to-English dictionary: “Partisan” = “Democrat.”


  9. Ape-Man says:

    Is Limba entering his psycotic phase? That’s the path he’s on by the looks of it.

  14. the brown acid says:

    Dear Santa,

    For Christmas in 2009, I don’t want much. Just arrange a date between a desperate crackhead wielding a striated steel pipe and Rush Limbaugh. I’d be eternally grateful and I’ve been such a good boy this year.


  15. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    Why is Rush even talking about Bush? We don’t care about Bush anymore unless Bush is being tried for treason and the war crimes that he committed.


  16. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    ElBruce Says:

    Republican-to-English dictionary: “Partisan” = “Democrat.”

    That’s right. So when they talk about “non-partisan”, they mean “no Democrats”.


  17. fletc3her says:

    Nothing Rush Limbaugh says is said with a “straight face”.


  18. Buckie Boy says:

    … he didn’t get partisan. – BULLSH1T doesn’t get any purer than this statement.

    .. He’s not hated. – Well, not by you, Dominican Underage Boy Pluker.

    The Drug Addict is totally delirious, and his audience are idiots for believing him.

    F’ Off Rush, pervy pig.


  19. Chicano2nd says:

    What a joke. What planet has this idiot been living on? I remember from day one when Bush was slamming the Democrats in Congress. This should be easy to go back and pull all the stuff out in the net that would make rush eat his words. But, even if it was thrown in his face, it would just be an opportunity for him to deny reality as he always does. That is the mindset of Republicans. Lie, lie then deny!


  20. katy says:

    i also see, on the title bar, limpball “on the democratic party”…

    what kind of profoundity came out of THAT discourse…?


  21. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    That’s right. So when they talk about “non-partisan”, they mean “no Democrats”.

    Yeppers, Wayne Schneider. Traitor Rove wanted to create a permanent Republican majority. That didn’t last, thank god.


  22. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Cats r Flyfishn Says:

    Why is Rush even talking about Bush? We don’t care about Bush anymore unless Bush is being tried for treason and the war crimes that he committed.

    Just wait, Cats. When some brave prosecutor finally decides to bring murder charges against Bush (for illegally getting our soldirers killed in Iraq), it will be viewed as a “partisan witch hunt”, even if a Republican prosecutor does it.


  23. marlow says:

    Bush was the most partisan, most divisive president the nation has ever known, and the ravings of a fat-assed drug addict do little to change that fact.


  24. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    When some brave prosecutor finally decides to bring murder charges against Bush (for illegally getting our soldirers killed in Iraq), it will be viewed as a “partisan witch hunt”, even if a Republican prosecutor does it.
    Wayne – to that I say “Bring it on.”


  25. helenahandbasket says:

    Asking FLUSHBO about partisan politics is akin to asking a skunk about stink.


  26. tigger says:

    I don’t hate Bush; I despise him. And he did a great job of destroying the Republican brand name, so kudos for that.

    Just keep talking, Rushie. Make yourself and the dittoheads who listen to you more and more irrelevant every day.


  27. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    asking a skunk about stink.

    That’s funny.


  28. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    I’m still waiting for the day when Rush strokes out. All this has to be very hard on his drug addicted bloated body. Some day soon, his voice will be gone and it will be a good day for this country.


  29. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    dbearton Says:
    Limbaugh should go take an overdose! Why is this druggie not in prison?

    Because he’s rich. If he had been some black kid from Harlem he would have been put away for 10 years.


  30. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    Bilbo – Rush’s final day on the job isn’t happening soon enough.


  31. tarazan says:

    Rush will be living on Bush presidency’s memories for years to come.


  32. Cats r Flyfishn says:

    Because he’s rich.

    You can add “and white” to that.


  33. the brown acid says:

    Bilbo Hussein Baggins Says:

    Ain’t that the sad f|cking truth of it Bilbo? This cat gets caught illegally possessing and trafficking hard core opiates, doesn’t even have a day in court. Black kid with a doobie would have been railroaded and in jail so fast heads would have spun.


  34. Marie says:

    Bush is not partisan??? HAHAHA Delusion is a result of too many years of recreational and prescription drugs.

    OT- Eric Holder was confirmed as AG. 21 “nay” votes — all of them repugniscum.


  35. pete says:

  36. Tired of being lied to says:

    Looks like Rush is over medicating on the Oxycontin again.

    Too much can cause you to disassociate with reality…


  37. livelongandprosper says:

    Moran said that with Obama, there appeared to be “some level of common ground we can agree upon.”

    Another level of common ground for oh, say 75% of the population is that Rush can’t make up history – it’s already done.


  38. Perry logan says:

    Closer to the truth to say he was partisan to the point of treason.


  39. marlow says:

    ‘Bout the only way Limpy can see his own pecker anymore is if he OD’s on viagra and has three or four Dominican child prostitutes push his folds of to the side… “there it is, my friends, there it is!”


  40. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Thanks for that nightmare-inducing visual, marlow. :)

  45. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    very telling about the state of the republican party.

    Okay, so apparently Bush was President of the United States from 1/20/01 until 9/10/01 in a total vacuum; 9/11 “happens”, you know, just one of those things that “happens”; was it then that he took the oath of office? He certainly has never protected or defended the Constitution, and he hadn’t protected the people until then…WTF?


  47. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    ““…I don’t think people understand. You’re president of the United States, 9/11 happens. You don’t know what’s going to happen the next two hours that night, the next day.”

    So, you sit there reading a fcuking children’s book in Florida and do NOTHING. BRILLIANT leadership skills were on display that day.


  48. livelongandprosper says:

    “Partisan”, Rush?

    You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

    Rush is no idiot, I mean Rush is no dummy, I mean… Arrgh.

    He knows the meaning of the word. He also knows that a large percentage of his audience doesn’t know the meaning of the word.


  49. dasm says:

    More proof that Limbaugh is truly an idiot, not just a liar.


  50. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    Bozo The Neoclown Says:

    why does it seem the only “guest” faux news seems to be able to land these days is this tool?
    very telling about the state of the republican party.

    Maybe that’s because the other news networks are having Republicans on at about a 2-1 ratio to Democrats. You didn’t see this ratio of Democrats to Republicans when the Republicans ran everything. I wouldn’t care if they had Republicans on as long as they call them on their lies and distortions, even if that takes up the entire four minuites they have them booked for.


  51. WaltB says:

    Why is it that Think Progress thinks anything Limbaugh says is news? He’s a terribly bad joke at best, yet you want to give him publicity time and again!

    Republican Senator to Eric Holder during confirmation hearings:

    “Did you say your name is stock Holder”?


  57. LibertyLover says:

    So Rush is now tasked with “catapulting the propaganda” for Bush, eh? Revisionist history at it’s finest. Rush himself, I heard today, that among likely voters, is hated by 51% of the people polled.
    This number is just behind George W. Bush. So I Guess more people like Rush than like GWB. Interesting stats.


  58. Jane E. Schneider says:

    Bozo, maybe Rushbo the Hutt?


  59. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    WaltB,

    They tell us about it because “Radical Right Wing Agenda” (of which Rush plays an important, historical part, and not for the betterment of America) is one of the things TP is “fighting against”. It helps us to know what things his dittoheads are being told, so we can find better ways to negate those things.

    And he’s “news” because he’s apparently getting crazier and crazier.

  64. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    He’s a – he had a reverence for the office, that’s why he didn’t get partisan.

    Didn’t get partisan, Rush? Is that why he refused to hire Democrats in the Justice Dept? Or are you now going to argue that Bush can’t be held responsible for what people in his administration did? Because that’s precisely what being “responsible” means, not that I expect you to know the meaning of the word.

    Jabba the Junkie?


  66. Jane E. Schneider says:

    LibertyLover, I took a look at the link (thank you.) For anyone who checks it out, the list itself shows 51% unfavorable (cold), but the verbage below it mistakenly shows 59% (which is where Bush is at.)


  67. P.D. says:

    LOL! Yeah Right! And I’m still a virgin!


  68. gummitch says:

    I’m beginning to think that Limbaugh was completely freaked out by the election. In his bloated self-delusion, he honestly thought the Republicans would win the White House and maybe even get back some of the seats they lost in 2006. I think it’s entirely possible that Obama’s election (and all the Democratic seats in Congress) took him completely by surprise. The President has specifically told the Republicans to ignore Limbaugh, instead of the last eight years of fawning attention from the Bushies. The world turned upside down and Limbaugh has snapped.


  69. Bob says:

    It’s not possible to be such a bad president and be non-partisan. All the great presidents put country before party, and I think one major reason bush was so bad was the degree of patisanship. Since he didn’t have facts or logic to deal with problems, everything had to become a false sence of patriotism. There was no substance to hold up any argument, so evrything became a partisan red herring.


  70. 1984 says:

    Not partisan. LFMAO!
    Bush surrounded himself with “the crazies” a.k.a. the neocons..and he was going to spend his “capital” after the 2004 election.


  71. Bob says:

    I see, that logic makes the Detroit Lions the best team in football right now.

    They HAVE to pick imaginary fights. Every time they try to tackle a real issue, they get the crap kicked outta them.


  78. wiley says:

    Considering the amount of time he spent campaigning for the party and vacationing, it would be accurate to say that he wasn’t president much.


  79. ElBruce says:

    drive by troll Says:

    I agree, it is a joke. He really should stop trying to be bipartisan, going out to dinner parties with neocons, inviting Republicans to the WH for cocktail and superbowl parties, removing sections from bills when they complain about them, adding business tax cuts for them… Yeah, all you wingnuts laugh behind his back about it and then line up your daggers to stab him between the shoulder blades. I hope he learns right quick that there’s only one language your kind understands.


  80. dan_allnews says:

    Bush isn’t hated? I haven’t access to a poll on that exact question, but I believe there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggests he may very well be hated by many.


  81. wiley says:

    I hate what he’s done. I attribute that to him, his administration, and a compliant Congress for obvious reasons. It’s kind of silly to blame cruel fate, the configuration of the stars, sh*t happens, or anything else on the results of executive acts of elected officials and their minions. This “you just hate Bush” as if it’s a neurotic conditions is tired. Anyone using this baby trick is using it on themselves.


  82. ElBruce says:

    Limbaugh also stated during that interview that he was not going bald.


  83. Shayne says:

    The economy is in the toilet. Thousands of people are losing their jobs every day. And all Rush can think about is how the Republicans will do next election day. How can anybody listen to this idiot with a $40 million contract ignoring the plight of so many citizens and not want to pop a cap in his a$$.


  84. sectionop92 says:

    The only thing that will freak out Limbaugh is a cutoff of his meds and cancellation of his contract. Clear Channel, et al. just don’t get it. He is so over.


  90. the brown acid says:

    When under the influence of opiates such as heroin and oxycontin one tends to have a rosy outlook on things. I’m guessing he’s already been cut off.


  91. Krazny says:

    I am so curious why Limbaugh hasn’t been asked tough questions about why exactly was he visiting the country of Haiti with a bottle of Viagra. I mean c’mon, it’s akin to no one asking why the day Reagan was sworn in the hostages in Iran were released. Only sleazier and hopefully Oliver North wasn’t involved this time.

    So, you sit there reading a fcuking children’s book in Florida and do NOTHING. BRILLIANT leadership skills were on display that day.

    Excellent point…the creep sits there for 7+ minutes thinking to himself — “shoot, I can’t believe they really did it, shoot what do I do now?” And he’s some kind of hero, give me a break. He knew about the whole deal as he sat there pretending to read “My Pet Goat.” What a shame; a sickening boil on what was once a decent country. Take that Limpy, Hammity and gwpieceofcrapbush.

    Correction.

    Government creates jobs that are in line with current salaries. Private companies create jobs that are on EACH side of the current salaries. Either a totally bloated slef employed person who gets a gov contract and pays themselves and exorbatant fee, or the corporation who gets a gov contract and them subcontracts it to the poorest of the poor, in any god forsaken land without regulations who will hire the weakest amongst the population to get the cheapest labor, even if that person is 8 or 98. Corpoations have no Personal responsibilities, but enjoy Personhood.
    Stop the insanity. KILL THE CORPORATIONS.

    Eliminate personhood status for corporations.
    No Free speech for corporations
    No freedom to travel (take their money to offshore havens) for corporations

    Corporations are the EVIL of humanity.

    KILL THE CORPORATIONS!!!

    This is why people shouldn’t abuse drugs! Rush get help ASAP!

    Rush: For the record, I hate and despise Bush for the man he was and for what he stood for. Just so you know.

    while it may not be wise or polite to characterize your opponent as a psychopath we should take not when, as in our times, a system of thought resembles psychopathy. this here denial of partisanship with bush is just one example of a characteristic of the right we should be very alarmed by. if liberals or just smart americans want to fully grasp these right wing moves i think a brief study of authoritarianism and socio- and psychopathy are good places to begin. it is because we can see a resemblance between rush limbaugh’s message and method and the thinking of a psychopath, or within the comparison presented by naomi wolf in The End Of America – we can question the wisdom of allowing this ideology to gain power. limbaugh is the enemy within talking, one mouth of a multitude working to ruin our community.

    We know Rush is a liar and he will continue to lie about Bush in a vain attempt to rehabilitate his image. Rush will lie and lie to rewrite history. He always has he will continue.

    I guess what really bothers the posters here is that more people listen to Limbaugh everyday than just about all the other talk shows combined. Although I don’t count myself a listener anymore you people obviously understand that a huge portion (granted no where near a majority)of this country listen to and agree with him on most items.

    The part that makes liberals apoplectic is that all surveys show that his listeners are the most informed Americans. The only ones even close are listeners of NPR (much more enjoyable to listen to than Rush for this conservative).

    Just for reference Abe Lincoln was considered a really bad President for much of his term. Check it out!!
