(CNN) — The always-outspoken Roberta McCain — mother of Sen. John McCain — took a swipe at Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, saying the popular conservative radio host "does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to".

"I belong to the Republican Party," McCain, 97, said during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. "What he represents of the Republican Party has nothing to do with my side of it. I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

McCain also praised Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele for labeling Limbaugh an "entertainer" earlier this year during an interview on CNN.

"I think [Steele] was exactly right when he defined this man as an entertainer," she said. "To my horror, the Republican Party made him back up on it."

[Borges]

The Republican Party of her generation was the Country Club set wasn’t it?

[mgc1122]

How many more McCain women are going to be trotted out before the media figures out we don’t really care what any of them think?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I find Rush entertaining.

And informative.

[ConservativeMind]

All of the McCain women aren’t worth a dime together.

[trtdenver]

No kidding. Would these people please just go away.

[TexasCajun]

Rino Momma Alert!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I’m getting pretty sick of the McCain family.

[CSM]

“I belong to the Republican Party,” McCain, 97,”

Ah, another liberal......

[CedarDave]

You nailed it.

"I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

Because she has never listened to his show. She has only been told what Rush talks about. Why else would Leno want her on his show unless she was going to trash Rush and conservatives?!

[FreepShop1]

The Republican Party of her generation was the Country Club set wasn’t it?

Yep. and out of power most of her life.

[throwback]

I don't know what he's talking about

Clearly. Weren't the McCains slave owners?

[TribalPrincess2U]

They can’t stop trying to find a “TRUE” Republican to put Rush down.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

How strange.

Rush calls himself an entertainer too.

[gitmogrunt]

Over-protective RINO mom protecting her RINO Brats.

[bigbob]

She’s absolutely right. Neither does Dick Cheney. If Rush was the face of the R party, we would have won the last election.

[AliVeritas]

Exactly.

She also said she wouldn’t vote for her son.

We’re beginning to see the depth of infiltration on our side.

[cripplecreek]

Well he is entertaining.

[trisham]

How many more McCain women are going to be trotted out before the media figures out we don’t really care what any of them think?

********************

Apparently, every last one of them.

[Professional Engineer]

Rush calls himself an entertainer. He has for years.

[reagan_fanatic]

the popular conservative radio host "does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to".

Lady, the party you belong to is spelled d-e-m-o-c-r-a-t-i-c.

[bmwcyle]

McCain’s mon is an old bar fly.

[Sloth]

The attention whore gene runs strong in that family.

[puppypusher]

Rush Limbaugh maybe an entertainer but he’s a better entertainer then John McCain is a politician.At least Limbaugh stands for something.

Whereas McCain.Who the hell knows what he stands for.

[mnehring]

Are you sure that wasn't Norman Johnny in drag?

Does mother approve?

[Jewbacca]

It doesn’t surprise me that McCain sends out women to do his dirty work for him.

"I belong to the Republican Party," McCain, 97, said during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. "What he represents of the Republican Party has nothing to do with my side of it. I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

Senility will do that to a person.

[humblegunner]

Limbaugh IS an entertainer.

[stars & stripes forever]

The McCains are SORE LOSERMENS. McCain lost the election. My advice: Get over it. Conservatives rule!

[MortMan]

The always-outspoken Roberta McCain — mother of Sen. John McCain — took a swipe at Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, saying the popular conservative radio host "does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to".

That's an admission, not a swipe.

[Red in Blue PA]

The $100,000 Question which nobody appears to have asked yet is WHY ON EARTH WAS JOHN MCCAIN’S MOTHER ON THE TONIGHT SHOW AT THIS POINT IN TIME?

[svcw]

Its generational idiocy.

[rightwingextremist1776]

Johnny.......JOHNNY!!!!!...Time to rub my bunions.....

STFU RINO hag!

[rabscuttle385]

WHY ON EARTH WAS JOHN MCCAIN’S MOTHER ON THE TONIGHT SHOW AT THIS POINT IN TIME?

To bash conservatives.

It's funny how her son is so quiet ahead of the 2010 Arizona elections, yet both she and her granddaughter Meghan are out stirring up trouble by bashing conservatives, eh?

[LucyJo]

"What he (Rush Limbaugh) represents of the Republican Party has nothing to do with my side of it. I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

With all due respect, Momma McCain, that's exactly the reason your son lost the election to Obama.

[rabscuttle385]

It doesn’t surprise me that McCain sends out women to do his dirty work for him.

Women like Meghan McCain, Roberta McCain, Lindsay Graham,...

Oh wait.

[Pilated]

That’s exactly what he is. She seems to be very observant in her old age. Has she noticed her son is wearing a turncoat theses days?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

There really must be a RINO gene!

[FourPeas]

Women like Meghan McCain, Roberta McCain, Lindsay Graham,...

ROFL

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“....took a swipe at Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, saying the popular conservative radio host “does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to”.....

You are right! At the same time you are part of the problem!

[BigEdLB]

Relax.... Mama McCain probably knew John C Fremont personally

[Vaquero]

Shut up lady....Rush, despite his feelings toward backing a RINO, did just that during the election....

...he did it so we wouldn't get stuck with the Marxist that we eventually got stuck with anyway(and McQueeg wouldn't have gotten 47% if it wasn't for Sarah Palin, so think about that....).

so with all do respect for your longevity, just go home and sit and rock.

[freekitty]

During the campaign she was as bad as Obama with her nose in the air all of the time.

[bikerman]

I don’t know what he’s talking about

As she is wipping the drool from her mouth.

[LibLieSlayer]

She is a rockefeller repubic... she has nothing at all in common with me... and mcamnesty is a pu$$y for sending his mommy out to attack Rush.

LLS

[calcowgirl]

"What he represents of the Republican Party has nothing to do with my side of it. I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

So, she has no idea what he talks about or what he means but she can conclude that he has "nothing to do with her side of it"?

Now we know where John got his exceptional skills in logic and reason./s
