Limbaugh shared cigars and beverages for a couple hours with Bush last month

[sabra]

Does Bush stand by Limbaugh's "phony soldier" remark?

RUSH: Super-secret meeting at a far-away place, yeah. The president and I, Ed Gillespie in the room who took over for Dan Bartlett. We had cigars and beverages for a couple hours in the Treaty Room up in the residence. It was so much fun.

CALLER: Was this meeting off the record as well?

RUSH: This one, yes. Even if they had not told me this was off the record, this one was off the record. I'm just guessing here, but I don't think the things we discussed last night got discussed in these group things. I would be stunned if they did. Then I went in and had dinner with the president and Mrs. Bush and the first lady, but it was about two and a half hours in there, and it was cool. It was a tremendous amount of fun. I got up early. One reason I'm low on sleep, is I had to get up at 4:30 for breakfast in the White House mess today with Karl Rove and Pete Wehner.

CALLER: What a privilege for you, I'm sure.

RUSH: Well, it was a privilege for them.
CALLER: (Laughing.)

RUSH: You know, people have been asking me, "Well, what did the president tell you last night?" That's not it. "What did I tell the president?" is the correct question.

CALLER: (Laughing.) So he also recognizes that you're the man running the country?

RUSH: Well, who doesn't? I mean there are certain things that don't need to be said. Now, I'll just tell you this. Well, this is nothing new. I tell people this every time that I have been with him. He is the most confident man. He is a barrel of laughs. He is at ease. He is unfazed by any of the criticism that he gets. He doesn't care about it. One of the things he said to me is he was talking to a world leader. (It doesn't matter which one. It was a European world leader). The leader said, "You know, you Americans, you're the problem." Bush said, "We are not the problem. The United States of America is the solution, and the sooner you realize it and join it the better off you're all going to be." He loves the country. He has great belief and devotion to what he's doing.

7. Not surprising that Dr. Goebbels praises his master

It's what he is paid to do. The sad part is that it reads like comedy, not tragedy.

I just wonder if he'll 'do the right thing' just like Herr Goebbels did when it all goes down in flames.

8. "He is unfazed by any of the criticism that he gets. He doesn't care about it."

In other words, he has no conscience...which is exactly why he's the Worst President Ever.
