Limbaugh is now the BMOC
The Virginian ^ | 1/28/2009 | Moneyrunner

Posted on 01/28/2009 7:28:55 PM PST by moneyrunner

Am I the only one who noticed this? Do the chattering classes get their transcript of the Rush Limbaugh program from Media Matters? If you don’t listen, you have no idea of what animates the Right, and the rump group of legislators that calls itself the Republican Party in Congress.

Obama’s stimulus bill passed the House without a single Republican vote. Since polls show that Obama has an approval rating that far surpassed Mohammad in Riyadh, what’s going on?

This afternoon, the lone Republican, Phil Gingrey, who criticized Rush Limbaugh in an interview with the Politico appeared on his show and practically crawled asking for forgiveness. Gingrey apologizes over Limbaugh

Gingrey not only called in to Limbaugh to apologize, he put out a press release.

As long as I am in the Congress, I will continue to fight for and defend our sacred values. I have actively opposed every bailout, every rebate check, every so called “stimulus.” And on so many of these things, I see eye-to-eye with Rush Limbaugh. Regardless of what yesterday’s headline may have read, I never told Rush to back off. I regret and apologize for the fact that my comments have offended and upset my fellow conservatives—that was not my intent. I am also sorry to see that my comments in defense of our Republican Leadership read much harsher than they actually were intended, but I recognize it is my responsibility to clarify my own comments.

Ever magnanimous, Rush gave his absolution and suggested that the best thing for Republicans to do is to remain united in opposition to the Obama stimulus bill.

ZerO has to being seeing red. He will step up the rhetoric with the man behind the golden EIB mic.

Rush is playing Bambi like a drum. Sanitizing himself against the Fairnewss Doctrine.

Obama is a rookie who bought into his own hype. He's not Jimmah Carter part 2, he is even worse. He's Obama, the one week wonder.

Bambi just isn’t ready for prime time. A president doesn’t ever, ever attack a citizen regardless of what position he/she is in. He just made Rush Limbaugh bigger than he aready was.

He's Obama, the one week wonder. Possible correction?:

He's Obama, the one weak wonder.

But will the Repubs in the Senate have a similar backbone... this time standing up with a real Filibuster? Or will they just lay down and let the bill pass?

And will Rush nail them for their lack of action?

Rush is a bloated blow hard who licked bushes behind for 8 years. He is not my leader in the conservative movement. He was part of the demise of nationalism and the rise of globalistic “free markets” which have now devestated our economy. I never listen to the fool.

Like you ever listened in the first place?

Go back to the DUmp, Troll.

We don't serve "your kind" here....

For a newby to be trying to pick a fight over Rush here may not be too smart. Wrong forum to bash Rush IMHO.

The only problem with the Rush vs Messiah is that Rush is fighting alone while Obama has the entire MSM, both Houses of Congress and every major newspaper in the U.S. on his side. He is Messiah and can do no wrong.

Rush needs some help. Rush did major damage to Clinton in the early nineties but was not fighting alone. The current GOP can only muster RINOs and back benchers. Until someone with nerve and ideas steps forward I don’t like Rush’s chances of staying out of Club Gitmo.
