* Oops!!! I guess I could blame IR for this mistake, but I should’ve checked the “Rush” FB page a little more closely. It’s a fan page. Says so right at the top.

Sheesh.

Sorry.

Headline changed and stuff stricken from the record.

* From Rush Limbaugh’s EIB Network Facebook page…

Let’s help Rep. Bobby Schilling out. I need 25 of you to chip in $25 or more to help him fight these far-left special interest groups trying to run a strong conservative out of Congress. We need more people like Bobby in Washington who lead by example as they fight for us.

Do what you can! Bobby needs you!

Kinda set the bar low there. Twenty-five people giving $25 each is $625. He can’t do better than that?

Also, Schilling is running to the center. I’m not sure this helps.

* Rush>Rush “Fake Rush” was responding to this Breitbart post…

In this morning’s Politico Huddle, something the corrupt website describes as “a play-by-play of the day’s congressional news,” this morning’s email blast headlined the following [emphasis added]:

Senate Democrats surging, Kaine leads Allen, Coburn: Dems’ vets bill same old ‘crap,’ Issa won’t stop probing ‘Furious,’ Schilling walks out of town hall, GOP: Reid’s Mitt-bashing broke rules, trivia

…Looks pretty bad, doesn’t it — a sitting Congressman turning tail and running from his own constituents?

Yep, pretty weak.

Oh, except…

Politico’s source published incomplete video. And had Politico been the least bit curious and skeptical of its left-wing source, it would’ve seen that Rep. Schilling did not “walk out” of the town hall meeting.

In fact, what the Republican Congressman did do was actually pretty shrewd. He made it look as though he was going to leave, which got the obnoxious protesters to leave, and then after they left, Schilling coolly and calmly returned to the front of the room and picked up right where he left off.

The picture of poise and composure.

* Meanwhile, speaking of Schilling…

Al Ramos of East Moline, Illinois was surprised to be on the receiving end of the wrath of the female phone pollster who called his home this week.

“She asked if I was going to vote for Bobby Schilling or Cheri Bustos,” Mr. Ramos recounted. He says he told her he was leaning toward Bustos, but was still a bit on the fence.

Then, he said, she asked if the election were held today, would he vote for Mitt Romney or Barack Obama. Ramos says he told the pollster he isn’t a Romney fan because “he’s for the rich,” but he is not entirely happy with the president, either.

“I told her I’ll go with the lesser of two evils, I would go with Obama, and she said, ‘What, so you want to live in a communist nation? You want to live in a communist state, because that’s what’s going to happen,’” he said.

Ramos said he was shocked that a survey taker would turn on him.
