Scotty McClellan was "Just Not that Good!" - Rush Limbaugh 5-28-2008, or, "What is more interesting, Limbaugh or a classic Ducati?"
Limbaugh today in full Rethug damage control mode, bashing Scotty over his book.

Fun fun fun.
What with Greg Garrison at WIBC / EMMIS saying, "I'm not a Republican, I'm a CONSERVATIVE", and Limbaugh bashing McCain and Scotty and occasionally Bush and the rest of the talking heads being all mean to McCain (et all), I'm not sure there is a Republican Party any longer.
Anyway, a few minutes ago, Limbaugh said he was going to check out liberal blogs today and see what they are saying about Scotty's book. That's nice. Let's invite The Fat Man in for a visit at Daily Kos!
Methinks that Scott McClellan is persona non-grata now, hmmm?
Awwww...
But, you know what? Motorcycles are a lot more fun. Vintage Ducatis. Bevel drives, gear driven valves, stiff frames... Yum.
Ducati has some new pages up on classic Ducs...

In the world of motorcycling, it was generally believed that the Desmodromic system controlling valve motion was the result of the difficulties experienced in making return springs.
Today, given the technological evolution of materials, these difficulties no longer exist.
Many wonder if this system is still worth using – judging it complex, expensive and high-maintenance.
An in-depth, thorough study on gas motion and flow control devices, however, confirms the system efficiency and, in this paper, I will briefly try and explain the many different reasons for this.
The 4-stroke internal combustion engine has evolved dramatically and continuously since its birth, thanks not only to the considerably improved quality of today’s materials, but also to the evolution of thermodynamics, enabling the improvement of cycle efficiency. This was possible because even the smallest of manufacturers today have access to increasingly sophisticated data measuring instruments, enabling them to investigate the various fluid and thermodynamic phenomena at the basis of engine development.
I am referring here to those fluid-dynamic effects influenced by the control system parts involved in the intake and exhaust strokes of 4-stroke engines, and in particular, valves operating by lifting off their seats, known as mushroom or poppet valves. As is known, the flow inside a duct or port can be controlled in different ways, more or less complex and efficient in terms of engine construction and functional characteristics...

Vintage Ducatis are also appreciating rapidly.
All in all, Limbaugh, if you ARE checking out "liberal blogs" today... I find motorcycles to be of a great deal more interest and worth than you. I also expect these bikes to be around long after you have died in your palazio in Brazil.

Some people like "pie", I like motorcycles.
"I'm convinced somebody got to McClellan!" - Limbaugh
"The President was not well served (by McClellan)" - Limbaugh
"Republicans caving left and right..." - Limbaugh
LOL... I LOVE IT!
