Whoa. Keep digging that hole, Rush. I'm sure the rethugs appreciate this. We do. ;)

Rush Limbaugh’s Rant Attacking RNC Chair Michael Steele

Here are some choice excerpts from Rush’s response to Michael Steele, March 2, 2009:

Yes, said Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, I’m incendiary, and yes, it’s ugly. Michael Steele, you are head of the RNC. You are not head of the Republican Party. Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the RNC and right now they want nothing to do with it, and when you call them, asking them for money, they hang up on you. I hope that changes. I hope the RNC will get its act together…

It seems to me that it’s Michael Steele who is off to a shaky start….

Now, Mr. Steele, if it is your position as the chairman of the Republican National Committee that you want a left wing Democrat president and a left wing Democrat Congress to succeed in advancing their agenda, if it’s your position that you want President Obama and Speaker Pelosi and Senate leader Harry Reid to succeed with their massive spending and taxing and nationalization plans, I think you have some explaining to do.

Why are you running the Republican Party? Why do you claim you lead the Republican Party when you seem obsessed with seeing to it that President Obama succeeds? I frankly am stunned that the chairman of the Republican National Committee endorses such an agenda…

I don’t understand why you’re asking Republicans to donate to the Republican National Committee if their money is going to be spent furthering the agenda of Barack Obama? If we don’t want Obama and Reid and Pelosi to fail, then why does the RNC exist, Mr. Steele? Why are you even raising money?…

I’m not in charge of the Republican Party, and I don’t want to be. I would be embarrassed to say that I’m in charge of the Republican Party in a sad-sack state that it’s in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it’s in, I would quit. I might get out the hari-kari knife…

When you send those fundraising requests out, Mr. Steele, make sure you say, we — we — we want Obama to succeed. So people understand your compassion. Republicans, conservatives are sick and tired of being talked down to, sick and tired of being lectured to. And until you show some understanding and respect for who they are, you’re going to have a tough time rebuilding your party.

1. This is too pretty

I'm starting to think there's some evil genius, choreographing this whole debacle, all the while planning a most effective takeover.

Where is Karl Rove today?

If this is really happening, it's one of the most satisfying - perhaps the most satisfying - public meltdown I've ever seen. Puts Jimmie Swaggart to shame.

Pass the popcorn...........

2. So, he wants Obama to be killed (or if he doesn't why would his

rhetoric be so hateful?), and he wants steele to kill himself? His little bat cave is closing in on him, isn't it?

3. I love this civil war in the making

It's beautiful. Rush will keep it going because he only cares about himself and creating controversy and staying relevant. He would work against the pukes if it kept people tuning into his program and that's what his dipshit dittohead fans don't understand. Steele has a big ego and will probably keep this going OR he will look weak and pathetic and offer a sincere apology to Rush like that Georgia congressman did.

I love it.

4. I listened to the show for a minute and a half in the car

Rush is pushing the "I want Obama to fail" thing hard and heavy between listening to the sound of his own voice at CPAC (which sounds like a scratchy old out of sync stereo record to his oxy decimated cochlear implanted ears). He doesn't give a shit about this country, he would gladly push us all off a ledge for 5 bucks.
