You want to know what is in her book here it is in a nutshell.
I, me, abused, outsider, mandate, I, me, me, McCain lost not I, me, me, me, Obama is a traitor, me, I am important, I was abused by the media, I am smart, me, me, I am a real American, Me, my husband is a real American, oh yes I forgot me again!
I would rather take a real hot metal spike and shove it in a Nazis eye than read this work of a ghostwriter. I do wonder who will write it for her though....LOL
Prediction on who will buy her books, the same folks who bought Coulters books....So who cares about her memoir...

I see that ole Dick sees Rush's way of thinking as the direction he would like the Republican party to be run by an entertainer. Wow that is a great way to run the party into the ground. Oh wait that already happened!LOL
Rush has an audience of about 13.5 million weekly listeners. Compared to 20 million a few years ago. Slowly Rush is losing his listeners. But of course his hard liner will always stay with him.
13.5 million sounds about all that is left in the far right.LOL
One thing seems to be forgotten about Rush, he is an entertainer. He himself has always said this. But since it came out that he is a drug abuser his rants have become even worse and he is believing his own hype...
But I for one do not think that Rush believes half the things he says. I for one believe that this man knows how to make a buck and you do it by pissing people off. He is a master at it and for some unknown reason the left just does not get that.
He has made so many of these groups spin their heads and spit pea soup that it is very funny. If these groups would just sit and listen to some of the callers they would see that he plays off them. Rush makes them say things that they want to say be would normally not say at all.
When they say it, he then goes into a rant about this or that and then minutes later a left winger calls and he toys with them. Every time a left winger goes nutz over Rush or a comment he says he just made more money.
Wake up and understand that he is in this for the money. He is not stupid, he would never run for office. He is making too much money and if he ran then everyone would figure out his game.
The ones that really make me laugh are the far right wingers who really do not get his game and believe that he thinks this way. Those cats are the really scary one.
BTW Michael Savage did the same game years ago but he really believed what he was saying and he lost allot of his audience because of that. That is why Rush is where he is (Rich) and Michael Savage is who he is (not Rich).
Controversy sells, insanity does not.....
Now for some lighthearted fun let us see how well you know the far right. In this test 8 famous quotes were either said by Cheney or Rush. It is up to you to find out which.
Great quotes from the far right, let us see if you can guess who these are;
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
I am addicted to prescription pain medication.
Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too.
My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.
The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.
In Iraq, a ruthless dictator cultivated weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them. He gave support to terrorists, had an established relationship with al Qaeda, and his regime is no more.
There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492.
He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting.

Dick Cheney talking about the truth? What, the same guy who only saw his truth. This man needs to get off of what ever meds they got him on and get a new doctor.
In the 8 years in office he could not tell the truth and now he is trying to be the poster boy for decency? What a joke!
If you want a list of his lies and how badly he told them, please ask. I have tons of nice links with him talking on video. No evil left wing editing, just what he said.
This man is a joke and he is trying to make folks believe his joke....

Again the far right is trying to erase 8 years of the Bush legacy. But no matter here is a happy happy time line to help our far right friends understand that they can not erase those horrible 8 years.

If Bush would have played this right Chavez would have been gone after his second term, but now thanks to him Chavez appears to be a dictator.
Bush took his eye off South America because he wanted to give Iraq to his friends. Now look where we are at.
We have a very well funded enemy to the South (no not Cuba) and much of South America under his influence/control.
Now our President must try to either make friend with Chavez or try to take some of his influence away.
Thanks to that 2002 coup attempt any time that something goes wrong Chavez can say it is an American ploy. Guess what, Venezuelans people will believe him.
Bush was President during 2002 and it was his mistake that kept this man in power.

Chavez is now a full fledged dictator no way around it. Really sad, we helped him take this kind of control when we attempted to oust in via a coup. He became a folk hero rather than the nut that he is.....
The best laid plans of mice and men.....Sad really Bush took his eye off of South and Central America and lost them all.
All to line the pockets of his donors.....Hope that our President can fix this mess soon.....Better to ally with this nut and control him than let him run free....

Poverty fueling Muslim tension with West, then they need to bomb their leaders homes and not ours. After they replace their current leadership then they can end the corruption in their countries.
They end the corruption then their new leaders can get better deals with the foreign companies. After that they get better jobs and bango they are making money and getting their kids some education.
Hell after they get their kids to better schools they will stop blowing themselves up.
Education is the key, have an uneducated population that is only taught by religious fanatics and you will have uneducated fanatics.
Same thing has happened in the United State with people like Paul Hill and the army of god. Uneducated religious fanatics that committed terrorist crimes.

Then how about we make private schools a more viable option so that parents can pay exactly how much they want to to their childrens educators. Private schools consistantly out perform public ones, have significantly lower drop out rates, and graduates are more likely to go on to college.
So you guys would rather have the United States give each parent a voucher for each child in America. Now let us do the math;
On avg a cheap private school will cost around $10,000 USD per year. Right now there are around 75,000,000 (75 Million) children under the age of 18.
It will cost $ 750,000,000,000 to the U.S. tax payer, yep around 750 billion dollars. So we send every child in America to private school and "We the People" go bankrupt, FANTASTIC IDEA!
Republican thinking and know how almost bankrupted our nation, thank you for the example why.
Last year the U.S. Department of Education had a budget of $150 billion.
http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/index.html
The best teachers go to the best school because of the pay. If we start paying teachers what they are worth then our future will be much brighter than now.

You seem to forget that Pakistan had an agreement with the Taliban. But the Taliban was not happy with what they were given, so they made a play to take more. Now they are paying for their plots. Pakistan seems to have realized that the Taliban had a bigger goal than just a valley.
Hope that the Pakistan military has the stones to keep on the offensive.

The military said someone described as a key Taliban commander leading attacks was killed in the notorious Swat militant bastion of Matta on Thursday.
A son of the pro-Taliban cleric who signed the February agreement was also killed in Lower Dir, a district adjacent to Swat, on Thursday.
These stories (if true) need to be used as propaganda against those the Taliban. Drop leaflets with more news of the dead Taliban fighters and of those murdered by the Taliban.
I hope that our "allies" keep up their offensive and do some real harm to the Taliban(every time I say Pakistan and the word ally in the same sentence I keep looking over my back).

Funny how the far right complains about President Obama trying to end the wasteful spending.
I just can not understand how you guys can complain about the President trying to get more Americans educator better pay and benefits. You want your kids taught but you do not want to pay the teachers...
We need to slash more of the wasteful spending and help Americans get back on their feet. Maybe get some money into the retraining of adults who have lost their jobs to outsourcing.
• Ending $26 billion in oil and gas industry tax breaks, which he called “unjustifiable loopholes” in the tax system that other industries do not get.
Who here can argue against this one? End the aide to the multi-billion dollar companies. We the people need it more than the corporations.

Ah the "flat earth" people are up in an uproar again. Well that must only mean more States are allowing people to get married.
Wonder why the far right bigots would worry about people getting married? Why would they feel so threatened by humans that love each other putting rings on their fingers?
You know fear is really a killer. Did you know that people are not born hating others. Hate is taught at an early age by their parents/churches/religions/groups? But no one is born hating anyone else.
Well there is another reason to hate something or someone. You hate them because you are hiding from the fact that you admire them and really wish to be like them.
Ever wondered why Ted Haggard was so opposed to gay people when he was one himself? Real simple, you hate what you are.
Sad really, if only parents/churches/religions/groups would not teach the young to hate what a different world we would live in today....

Killing the cat was a sign that the person who did this either hated animals or disliked the family. I wonder what was the order of the killings. Cat first or one of the humans interesting case.
The surviving son had a good alibi, coming home late from a night or drinking. But walks in on the attackers and is himself attacked.
What hits me as kind of odd is that the Mother and the other Brother were both killed while the last brother was not. Also, the last brother gets a glimpse of the killer and hears him speak. Why would the killer not off the last brother rather than leaving him alive?
Next part really seems odd to me...
Isao said he saw the assailant’s face briefly, but that he lost consciousness shortly after, and could not recall details about his face or clothing.
You see the face and clothes of you attacker but you can not remember details? He knew that his attacker spoke with an intonation in Japanese was strange. So he remembers the persons voice but can not recall even what his attacker wore.
Something does seem to be real smelly about this sons story. Something does not add up at all.
I just hope that the police are leaving out more details and the son does remember. I hope that the son did not have a hand in this crime.
