If Limbaugh, Steele, and even Lewis are simply jesters in a country made up of either fools or the mostly fooled, what is our new King Obamasion and his flock of retards rustling thier feathers about?
Oh yea, I already know, Stelle will be on Rushes show, and although he may have to “Splain himself” he and Rush both are gonig to tear the living daylights out of the new Admins policies, and Appointments.
Call me a Prophet.
There is a scene in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” where Indiana Jones tires of fighting the bad guys with his whip so he pulls out his gun and shots them. Indiana Jones was able to win because he had the most powerful weapon. I am looking for Rush to do something like that pretty soon (figuratively, of course).
BTTT
Rush has got to be loving this. Talk about free advertising.
Keep talking about him Obama @ CO. I’m sure his rating are skyrocketing.
But Michael Steele, what a disappointment, apology notwithstanding. That is not the first time he has criticized Rush. He said stuff like that during Operation Chaos, but he wasn't RNC Chairman then so it didn't matter.
If he wants to go up against Rush then do it, don't apologize. He knew it was political suicide but he said it anyway. The irony is Rush just said in the speech that the party is being pulled apart by factions and conservatives must not give in. The very next day both Steele and Cantor badmouthed Rush to liberal press. If there is a wrong move to make the Republican leadership is going to make it. That's why we trust Rush with our values instead of the party.
The problem is that Rush is sucking all the philosophical air out of the conservative "room." He can't act as a "kingmaker" for commercial reasons. Sooner or later he's going to be accused by someone or someones prominent of being "all hat and no cattle." Sooner or later the sentiment is going to grow that he's just acting as a critic for big bucks.
Sooner or later, he's going to have to put up or shut up.
Part of Rush’s strategy is to become TOO BIG TO FAIL.
Too big to shut down with any bs fairness doctrine
The more the Magic Kenyan knocks Rush the more obvious the power grab will be if the Kenyan tries to silence Rush and other talk meisters
Is it wise to allow your opponent to choose your champion for you?
“Obama appoints Rush Limbaugh leader of the opposition”
***********
Can a usurper appoint anyone anything!
thanks, bfl
This is what Steele and others should be saying:
"Limbaugh just a commentator among many, nothing more, nothing less. He is not an elected official or a party leader. He's just a private citizen who has a lot of opinions. Republicans agree with some of his opinions, and they disagree with others. He does not speak for the party in any capacity. For a sitting president to attack a private citizen in such a manner as Obama is doing is undignified and cheapens the office."
"Unlike the president, we feel have more important things to do than discuss some commentator. Therefore, we will not be answering any more questions regarding Rush Limbaugh."
And that's that. No more mention of Rush. It's stupid to make such a big deal of this.
“...Obama is a very intelligent and profoundly ignorant man. It’s obvious that he’s never seriously listened to a dissenting opinion, having lived all his life with his head in a moon helmet. True Believers tend to slowly drift into a kind of paranoid cult; it happened with Jim Jones, and we see it every day with the American Left. The intellectual isolation of the Left is the biggest political pathology of our time, and it’s also the most dangerous.”

Great piece.
In my humble opinion, it’s time to elevate Rush Limbaugh to the same plain with Mark Twain, and possibly a half notch above H. L. Mencken and Will Rogers, possibly.
NY Post January 23, 2009
WASHINGTON — President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
