Rush...

Wonder if Mr. Limbaugh is packing up today; before his move to Costa Rica?

Probably not since unlike Alec Baldwin who clearly said he was going to move overseas if Bush was elected, Rush said he would be commuting to Costa Rica for his health care if this atrocity went into effect. Since it's not in effect yet I doubt he's on his way to get health care. For that matter, he may not even be in need of healthcare today.

Rush has plenty of time to get his bags packed, assuming this legislative travesty ever becomes reality.

WASHINGTON — Here are the effective dates of major provisions of the health care overhaul legislation approved Sunday:
WITHIN A YEAR
- Would provide a $250 rebate this year to Medicare prescription drug beneficiaries whose initial benefits run out.
90 days after enactment:

Rush paid for his plane though, unlike Pelosi who charges the taxpayers for hers rather than flying commercial. Stupid female dog.
