Rush is having a rough day today.  Right out of the gate, it was all about how Obama had failed last night, how the country was doomed, how the Republicans were doing great, blah blah.  The real surprise so far today was Rush’s comments about the NY23 race.  Apparently, the Democrats didn’t win NY23, the Republicans lost.  And they lost because it was all the fault of not having a primary race.  No, wait - it was all the fault of Dede Scozzafava.  No - wait!  it was a Tuesday!  Yeah!  geez Rush, make up your damn mind already.

The show today is oddly disconnected.  Rush is almost avoiding the election results as much as he’s paying attention to them.  My impression (and this is just my guess so bear with me) is that Rush wrote the notes on his monologue late last night and is going off those notes.  He’s just doing this show by the numbers, saying his pre-digested sound bytes and hitting his markers but not really putting any of himself into any of it.  No callers yet onto the show and I’m not sure if i’ll stick around to hear any since today is spaghetti day and I have to get to the market soon to get some supplies.  Gotta give it time to simmer down properly after all.

Now we’re talking about Obama wanting to rebuild the Berlin Wall.  Damn - I didn’t turn the radio off fast enough.  Oh, and we’ve got a caller!  lucky me.  They’re talking about NY23 and how people ‘hate sarah palin’. I think the problem with Palin is that they don’t ‘hate’ her.   They just don’t respect her.   But Rush of course is making the caller’s comments all about Rush.  He’s saying how this isn’t a big failure on his part, and that Palin is beyone reproach as well.  And now we’ve got another caller - Barbara.  Barb sounds stoned.  I don’t really care with Barb has to say, because I can’t get past the feeling that she’s either stoned out of her gourd or drunk.  well, whatever - Barb sounds pretty happy today.  I think Rush is ok with Barb’s substance abuse ’cause I swear to God I just heard him snort a line of Oxy while Barb was all moonbeams and sweetness.  Oh, and Rush was still on about some Catholic guy winning an election somewhere.  This caller is hard to follow and Rush is apparently down with the whole ‘free association’ vibe she started.

Thank GOD!  A commercial!  yeesh.  two callers, one of whom is sure that Republicans losing NY23 isn’t a big deal (despite it being a big deal last week) and one substance abuser really into free association therapy with Rush Limbaugh.  And that’s it for me.  Rush isn’t very ’snappy’ today, he seems kind of out of it actually.  A very disappointing start to the whole affair and not likely to get any better.  Radio is off and i’m going to go inventory the kitchen supplies to make sure i’ve got what I need to make a big pot o’ spaghetti sauce for later tonight.
