re: Now that Joan Rives has passed,

Well, BB, this is an incredibly stupid thread for someone who knows nothing about Rush. But, it does jog an old brain cell.

Back in the day, there was a liberal activist who the MSM loved. His name was Mitch Snyder.

Here is a pic...



Mitch was the darling of Dan Rather. Mitch was waging a war against homelessness and getting tons of money from the Govt.

Then, it was discovered by the Repubs and trumpeted by Rush that he was a fake. His money was cut off. He committed suicide.

I remember tuning in the next morning to hear Rush's take:

"Yesterday, Mitch Snyder assumed room temperature."

I cracked up. I knew Mitch was a fake long before I ever heard of Rush.

His teenage girl friend brought Mitch's ashes to the floor of the House to beg for more money. She was denied. Mitch's ashes were obviously offended. But the Dems felt that it was too stupid to grant money to a jar full of dirt.

I think today they would go ahead and grant the money.
