> Rush Limbaugh, has challenged President Obama to a debate, according to the New York Daily News. This is hilarious. President Obama is the leader of the free world. Rush Limbaugh is...... to quote Al Franken's book title, Rush Limbaugh is A Big Fat Idiot. (I loved Franken's book!!!!! You can get it on Amazon.)
Limbaugh might be the head of the Republican Party, but he is nothing but a putz.
*** Jonathan Alter was on Keith Olbermann's Countdown on MSNBC. Alter referred to the Republican Party as "....the party of Jello..." He goes on with this explanation in his Newsweek column:
Rush Limbaugh, the man who did more than anyone else to create the modern Republican brand in the 1990s, is now destroying it. Everyone knows he has "jumped the shark" culturally—become a black-shirted joke even as he dominates the headlines. But it's worse than that for Republicans. Limbaugh has taken the great GOP calling card—toughness—and shredded it. The party of Lincoln is in danger of becoming the party of Jell-O.
Witness the specter of party leaders from Georgia Rep. Phil Gingrey to South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford to Republican Party chairman Michael Steele all issuing craven apologies to Limbaugh after uttering the truth, which is that Rush's rhetoric is "ugly" and that he was wrong to say he hoped President Obama would fail. The monster the GOP collectively created—Rush's "dittohead" army of conservative listeners—makes life miserable for anyone who dares criticize the Great Bloviator. By enforcing right-wing political correctness, the dittoheads are making their party leaders look weak....
The Republicans do look absolutely ridiculous and comical.
