1. CPAC is the new face of the klan IMO nt

[RJ Connors]

11. That sounds pretty spot on to me. n/t

[bjobotts]

13. Agreed but Rham talking about working with anybody is kind of a joke

[daninthemoon]

2. he summed it up. if a rethug doesn't tow the limpballs line, they

are forced to apologize. he really does have a frightening power over the entire rethug party across the country.i hope he finally fails.

[RJ Connors]

12. Well I have thought from the get go

that this was a planned setup for El-RushBo and he is just enough of an egomaniac to take the bait hook, line, and sinker. The fact is President Obama is much more intelligent than him, and I think has a much better developed sense of political street smarts than Rush.

That being true, I would place money that while Rush has been successful at bullying people for some time now, I think this time will work out to him having torn off more than he can handle.

3. That is extremely clever of Rahm/Dems.

Puff ole gasbag Rush up, watch him implode, neutralize any moderate Republicans at the same time.

Smart move.

[smoogatz]

4. Yep. Branding the Rethugs as the Party of Limbaugh is very smart.

Moderates and indies are repelled by Limbaugh: if he's the voice/face of the GOP, it just marginalizes them even more. It has the added benefit of being true: elected Repukes are scared shitless of Limbaugh.

16. I sense genuine strategery inside the Obama admin.

I haven't smelled even of whiff of that from our D.C. Dems in about 30 years!:thumbsup:

[daninthemoon]

18. Yes, but remember: the rw rethugs invited him to give their keynote

speech at their convention last week. They are doing this to themselves, and happily, Obama is using it to advantage. Can big fat stupid idiot finally be silenced?

[opihimoimoi]

5. Rush is projecting his own Failure....Over paid, Overweight, and puffed up like a balloon, Obtuse

He is Part of the Problem....not the Solution....he needs to be DELETED by the People...

He reeks of SELFISHNESS

[Donnachaidh]

6. he also marginalized Newt pretty well -- I LOVE that.

Newt Gingrich is another POS that needs to be set adrift in a leaky dinghy. In the middle of the Pacific.

[stlsaxman]

7. WHAM!!! or should we change that to "WAHM!!!!"

dupe video

dupe response

[Number23]

8. They are hammering Rush better than his last 8 wives have.

I am so glad to see that idiot get his comeuppance. Any Repub who follows that overpaid fool needs to be called out frequently, LOUDLY.

[empire we are]

9. Should be called APAC

The Authoritarian Political Action Cabal.

Not sure why Rush is all of a sudden the defacto intellectual soul of the GOP.
I've been paying attention for a long time and I feel that he's been the real voice of the Right since the early 90's.
Presidents and pundits require his approval.
Millions of misguided morons worship his every word.
Politicians and main stream media are and have been terrified to call him out. Obama and now Emanuel and MSNBC the very recent exceptions.

Rush speaks for the Right Wing, period.

10. GOOD ! MORE MORE MORE ! GLUE LIMBAUGH TO THE R'S BIGTIME ! DON'T STOP !

[Number_Six]

14. No! Use my staple gun!!

n/t

[spamlet2002]

15. oh so cordial

rahm is a skeevy one as well, so we'll be keeping an eye on him and little blue dog gang

[glitch]

17. This is what Rahm is good at, keep him at it.

And far away from actual policy.
