Rush Limbaugh says that we aren't hearing about ...
the good things that are happening in Iraq. Do you know of any? The only thing I have heard is that they are building schools and hospitals. I have also heard that the terrorists have infiltrated the hospitals to kill. Do you know of any good news?

17. I feel sorry for that dead horse too.
The irony in that accusation is that it comes from members of the media -- the very body they claim is ignoring good news. Well, Rush, Bill, Neil, Wolf, Nora, etc., give us the good news.

I'm waiting...

25. Yeah, and we don't hear about the up side of having Parkinson's, either.
Keep talking, Rush, you fat junkie.

2. Didn't they crown their first Ms. Iraq beauty pageant winner some months ago...
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 01:18 PM by Crankie Avalon
...she had to relinquish her "crown" a few days later due to death threats from the insurgents, but they can never take away the magic of that night.

8. Rush
That over-bloated corpulent pork sandwich should put his money where his mouth is and do a month's worth of shows in Tikrit or some other paradise outside of the green zone.

What a morally bankrupt waste of space.

10. Relatively speaking, what we're hearing IS the good news.
Remember CNN's Lara Logan on this subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvpPp54fFBs

11. Would those be the same new schools
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 01:24 PM by CC
that the paint is peeling off the walls, the plumbing stopped working and the buildings are crumbling because the contractors skimmed off as much profit as possible and used shoddy below par materials that they charged premium prices for?

13. I've heard about flowers and chocolates, confetti, and party hats.
Iraq has a daily parade march, thanking the US for visiting and bringing joy and prosperity to their land. Also, no one has died in Iraq this month, which is pretty great news.

20. We don't listen to Rush much around here.
I'm sure he'll fill you in on the good news,if that's truly what you're interested in.

21. lara logan already covered this..
the reason you don't hear any "good news" out of Iraq is because anytime it's reported that a school has been built, it invariably gets blown to shit the very next day. In other words, there is no "good news" coming out of Iraq. Maybe hillybilly heroin boy would like to volunteer to be "man on the street" and go over there to report all the good things the drive-by media fails to tell us. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

22. That's because there's nothing to hear
and apparently he has nothing good to say for us to hear either.

23. So we're building schools and hospitals
over in Iraq. Why are we not hearing more about the quality of the construction work being done over there. I remember hearing something about the police training academy where raw sewage rains on the cadets in the classrooms. Or construction work abandoned. Let's see the * misadministration publish an accurate accounting of the construction work being done over there by Halliburton/KBR and other contractors there. Let's see CBS, ABC, NBC or one of the cable networks spend a week over there putting together an accurate and unvarnished picture of the quality of all the reconstruction work being done over there, the condition its currently in and the $$$ it cost us taxpayers.

Fuck this shit ... it's long past due to demand an accouting.
