Today is a day we should mourn and express anger at those responsible NOT use it for partisan politics.

Turning this day into a political rampage to prove yourself right is disgusting, insensitive and oppurtunistic.

I say this because Mr. Limbaugh today did that exact thing. For which, I shall never listen to him again. I may have disagreed with him, and at times found myself swearing at him through my radio, but today I found him pathetic and totally incorrigible and morally reprehensible.

Tomorrow and next week there will be time to make political statements and grandstand (after all whether we like it or not, politicians use events like these to grandstand.... that's life and the business.) Today however was a day to just pay respect and show anger not at a political party but at the people responsible.

If we are to fight terrorism we cannot do so effectively if when attacked we blame the other side immediately.

Jerry Springer showed class on his radio show, he didn't bring partisanship into it at all. Instead he showed his respect for those who lost loved ones.

Limbaugh should take lessons, if I had lost a loved one and heard him blaming the Left and Democrats, Spain and France and everyone not politically aligned with him, I would believe him to be as bad as the terrorists because he turned it all political and showed no remorse, no regret, just an "how can I bash the Dems." attitude.

Today was not entertainment, today was self promotion and fanaticism to prove himself right. What's even more sickening are the callers did the same thing, blaming and pointing fingers at those not politically aligned with them.

And by the way if a Dem did it for 3 hours straight I'd be equally disgusted and angry at them. But again, Springer showed class and sensitivity to those who lost family and friends over there.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
