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.

Isn’t it amazing (and telling) how easily The 0ne is rattled?

First little Georgy Stephanopolous shakes hiim up in a Democratic Primay debate.

Next, Sarah Palin had him reeling until the MSM cavalry came to his rescue.

Now, he’s locking himself into a fight that, by nature of his position, he simply cannot win. Every day this fight goes on, Limbaugh gets free PR and 0bama draws attention away from his agenda.

So much for being the cool, unflappable guy in the McCain debates, eh?

Rush really cracks me up. I love the guy. He starts all this commotion in the White House and it’s MSM and then says he going golfing for a week. ROTFL!!! If that ain’t cool, nothing is.

I just love how Rush has taken Obama and the MSM off message. Obama thought he would get his way and would be able to walk all over everybody. Maybe he can get away with duping the journalists and the Democrat lemmings but he bit off more than he can chew when he decided to challenge Rush who has 15 hours a week to respond and will use that time to do the job that the journalists are supposed to be doing. Perhaps like the Republicans in Washington, he will help them all grow a spine and begin to question Obama and his misguided agenda, flip flops and frequent contradictions.
