I remember Rush warning of just this around the time of the election. The first order of busines is/was to fire the staffers, they are the behind-the-scenes agitators who’ve been entrenched in cushy and powerful positions for YEARS. Clean house.
(Look how they sniped Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell, Hoffman, etc., even Reagan)
I too remember and see it unfolding right before my own eyes.
