Rush Limbaugh zipped off one-liners -- the toughest aimed at Secretary of State/former senator/former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and the most condescending at First Lady Michelle Obama -- when he was asked by NBC's Jamie Gangel to play word association in a "Today" show interview broadcast Tuesday morning.

Here goes:

President Obama: "Disaster"

Michelle Obama: "Garden. Plants a garden out there."

Former President Jimmy Carter: "An utter disgrace and embarrassment."

Sarah Palin: "Misunderstood and underestimated."

Former President Bush: "Most decent, down-to-earth real man you'd ever hope to meet."

Glenn Beck: "Look what I have spawned. Glenn Beck to me is 'Right on, Daddy-O.' "

Hillary Clinton: "Nurse Ratchet" (That's an unflattering reference to the despised psychiatric nurse in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.")

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
