i think the real issue here is that the obama administration acknowledges the sad truth that millions of americans take a big fat buffoon like rush limbaugh seriously. i know realize how a fanatic like hitler got in power. it’s the cult of personality. rush is not only ignorant and influential, but he is wealthy also. nobody ever ever went broke underestimating the american people!

Owl Gore: Did Emmanuel pick a fight with Limbaugh? I don’t believe so. I heard him say ” R. L. is the intellectual force behind the republican party.” This is not an attack. If it’s an insult to the republican party that would only be because Rush is a polarizing figure. But that piece of information is supplied only by the listener.
Emmanuel’s latest response: I was paying him a compliment. Rebuttal, anyone?
Maybe Obama and co. knew the effect the effect the remark would have. Maybe they’re guilty of being clever. Rush has nothing to lose by lashing out, because everyone already knows he’s a belligerent guy. But the Republicans are in more disarray than ever. Who’s fault? Not mine. I voted democratic. Not Obama’s; he won the election with a positive message.
What is Gibbs guilty of, being occasionally seduced by acrimonious ranting on the television? Plenty of people would sympathize.

The Pig

We lived for 8 long years under the Christian Communism “Yes the Big Double C’s” and the “Bushinator” with the head Rush Pobah. This Rightnuts followers of the Grand Pig PoBah follow the Christian Capitalism Communism which is the opposite of their socialism whines it involves stateless communes, capitalism exploits from the working class by extracting surplus value from the workers in the form of profits, and replacement of the bourgeoisie as the ruling class in order to establish a society with class or racial divisions. However what gets me with these Christian Capitalism Communism is that they are broke and destituted and cling to their swine for protection.

Heheh… I’m enjoying this clever move. By defining Rush as the extremist “face” of the (failed) Republican Party, Obama is forcing the sane, moderate Republicans in Congress to choose which side they want to be associated with.

That should deliver some much-needed votes on some key legislation. Nobody wants to be associated with the lunatic rage and failure that Rush represents, which is growing less popular (and less tolerated) by real Americans every day.

Before you post something about the Dems “getting back to governing,” consider that this basically blew up during and after the introduction of the budget. Considering how freaked out people are getting about the scale and scope of that budget, I’d say if anything that the Administration’s doing too much, rather than too little, governing at the moment.

Will Jones, my thoughts almost exactly, only substitute the name Obama for Rush and Democrat for Republican.
