I think Rush is trying to find relevance in this new Obama world and will say anything to make the news. And also to undermine the confidence that Democrat's have in Obama's choice of Hillary.
Or maybe Rush switched from OxyContin to Sodium Pentathol?

I spent Thanksgiving with a flock of right-wing turkeys - Lisa Casey, AllHatNoCattle.com

Well, here’s something kind of embarrassing for President Bush. This is true. This year, the White House Hanukkah cards they sent out had a Christmas tree on the front. And President Bush, very embarrassed by this. He said all the cards will be pulled and all of his Jewish friends will get a new card with a picture of the Hanukkah Bunny. - Jay Leno

Subject:$100 donation
Dear Lisa, For many months I have been donating money and time to Hillary, Obama, and MoveOn. I finally tried to send you $100 but was only allowed to donate $50. If you could send email notices to those who have donated in the past and give an option of donating $15 to $500 (make it very simple so we do not have to input any information other than the amount) I am sure that your financial worries will be over. We all appreciate your hard work. You made a difference in this past election and should be very proud of the work you are doing!
Sincerely, Chase
Thank you for writing, Chase.
I'm troubled that you weren't allowed to donate more than $50. That is the first time I have heard that from a supporter. Anyone else have this problem?
I am reluctant to email my supporters asking for donations. It's the anti-spam in me.
Deep curtsy for your kind words and thoughts, sir.
