Rush Limbaugh for President? You're Betting on It
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
Smart thinkers and even his friends don't think Rush Limbaugh's recent surge in attention beyond his base will swell his head up enough to lead to a presidential bid. But that's not stopping bet makers from banking on a political future. We talked with BetOnline.com, which found that there is tremendous interest in Rush running for something after his recent dust-ups with President Obama and Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. Here are the current odds:
—A run for the White House: A yes by Rush pays 6 to 1.
— A run for the House of Representatives: A yes pays 1.75 to 1.
— A House victory: A yes pays 3 to 1.
Our bet: No. Why give up the audience, money, and weekends off? BetOnline.com did a similar poll for Joe the Plumber, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, and found betting support for him to run for president.

Yeah, But What A Stupid Country!
As President, Rush wouldn't have the courage to say how stupid America has become. And that's putting Bill Maher's words quite mildly. President Steve Wilkos, on the other hand, is going to remind us how materialistic, egotistical, thoughtless and self-centered we, as a nation, have become! We have forgotten how to be smart, considerate and intuitive. If you listen to Wilkos for only one second, his speeches will put even the most diehard conservatives to shame. You will never hear this kind of speech from Bobby Jindall of Louisiana or Sarah Palin from Alaska, two other prominent frontrunners for the 2012 Presidential race.

10,000 plus oc's bought by his illegal immigrant maid, that should make for a good President, and doesn't a President need to have the ability to communicate with the other party?
