This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

EIB Announcement: Rush Limbaugh Becomes Official Unpaid Advisor to Bush-Cheney '04:

"I made an official announcement to open the program today. I have become, and have been for a while, an official, unpaid advisor to the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, and we decided to go public with this because there's no problem with it whatsoever.

There was thought about my stepping down from the Golden EIB Microphone two or three days a week on the days that I was giving advice, but we decided not to do that. There's no conflict here. There's absolutely no conflict whatsoever. The line has been successfully blurring now for years and years and years.

I will not be giving up my precious seat behind the Golden EIB Microphone. I will continue to serve both functions with credibility on both sides, an official unpaid advisor to the Bush-Cheney reelection campaign '04, as well as your host here on the EIB Network.
"


First advice given: "If you repeat something enough times it becomes true, even if you provide no evidence whatsoever!"

Try it: "We are winning the War on Terror!"

"We are safer because of the War in Iraq!"

Of course, we knew all along that Rush's backers were the same people bankrolling the Bush campaign. They have the same bosses, so why shouldn't they work together? Rush has been an on air advertisement for the moneyed interests for years, masquerading as a crusader for the common man.

The reason there is "no problem" between his capacity as campaign advisor and his day job as talk show shill is that they are essentially the same job. Rush has been pushing the Republican rhetoric for years, going back to the Clinton presidency.

I don't think anyone is surprised by this. And as for the lines being blurry...?
