We Called it Yesterday and: Is Rush Limbaugh Psychic?

We called it yesterday in our posting "Would You Buy a Used Economy from this Man?" Now the "Bailout Plan" to the tune of $ 700 Bn is being called into question. We thought so. See the links below. And, worse news, the economy and jobless rate and foreclosure rate is hitting the skids ever harder. Where will it all end? Are the Visigoths preparing to sack the developed world?
All this, and the republican pundits are chomping at the bit to pre-blame the President-elect for the state of the crisis. How is this reasonable? Don't these folks have any shame nor any sense of responsibility for the wrong-headed bilge they are spewing? For the CNN Video story of Nov. 12, 2008 see: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/podcasts/incaseyoumissed/site/2008/11/12/in.case.you.missed.it.11.12.cnn?iref=videosearch
Mr. Limbaugh even says Mr. Obama's ideas are causing the problems with the economy. Now, we know that Mr. Limbaugh is well-respected - even beloved - by his listeners and fans - we even acknowledge that he is a great broadcaster. But, Rush, how can you claim to know that Mr. Obama's ideas are causing a panic-run on the economy?
Mr. Limbaugh, are you indeed, psychic? Do you and the other whining conservative pundits have some sort of ESP? By what metric do you measure the effect of these ideas on the economy? Is it the tinfoil hat and dowsing rod metric? Ah-hah, see, the witching rod - errr, rather the dowsing rod is pointing at Obama! It must be all his fault!!! Please, stop vomiting up the bilge and at least try to get it right - errr, that is the opposite of wrong. It's just irresponsible - not to mention desperate. If you are truly a conservative, then act like one and take the responsible path. Otherwise, we will continue to view as dangerously irresponsible and desperate.
Speaking of responsible, we'll re-issue a little more on yesterday's posting. Why is Mr. Paulson playing some sort of shell-game, three-card monte with our $ 700 Bn? We have a right to expect more from somebody who is handling such a treasure. Please show us a little more respect with our money. You just don't do it with that enormous sum of money.

So, apparently Crazy Al is admitting to the biggest error in the history of banking and finance, or even the biggest error ever made. And this is the worst image we could find of him on flickr.com? OOPS!!! We were wrong! We did a search on photobucket and found much viler, nastier stuff there, but not so much. irenegade7 is probably the worst of these. But, because children might be visiting this site, we won't be providing any links to that. But, we did think we would find much nastier and troubling images and lampoons of Crazy Al.
Is Crazy Al genuinely crazy for taking responsibility for the blunder(s) that might send the entire world into a global recession if not depression? Who talked him to taking the biggest fall in the world? We never thought of Crazy Al as the biggest patsy in the history of the world. So, Al, apparently it was a hands-off, largely unregulated, freewheeling banking and finance industry led by our you, our corporate leaders and our government "leadership" into global financial freefall? Is this Russia's "big chance" to take over and run the world economy? No, of course not, we didn't think you would think that. Wouldn't that just tickle Mr. Putin pink? Er, no pun intended there.
