Tina Brown: Liberal Ad Elevates 'Blow-hard Bullfrog' Rush Limbaugh By Scott Whitlock | February 27, 2009 - 11:49

Former Vanity Fair and New Yorker editor Tina Brown appeared on Friday's "Morning Joe" to lament that a new liberal ad featuring Rush Limbaugh would only elevate the status of the "blow-hard bullfrog" conservative host.

The liberal group Americans United for Change has a spot running that slams Republicans as a party of no and features a clip of Limbaugh's now famous comment that he wants Obama's liberal policies to fail.

After "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist played the ad, Brown asserted of the commercial, "I adore the 'party of no.' I think it is wonderful."

She then complained, "The only thing I do regret though is that this giant, you know, blow-hard bullfrog, you know, Rush Limbaugh is being turned into this big icon."

Rush will love that - the liberals are making him famous! He's the last conservative left standing in America!

The Left doesn't know when to stop digging. I hope they keep it up!

The ad is about preparing American skulls full of mush for the “fairness doctrine” (not fair, and not a doctrine)

Small potatoes. Obama has already promoted El Rushbo to head of the Republican Party.

NO? I think that's the only answer to socialism. If they want me to join them, I'm not signing up for it. HELL, NO!

The more far left liberals and liberals in general denounce Rush Limbaugh, the more popular he becomes and the more ammunition they provide him with.

Liberals just don’t understand that basic idea.

By constantly attacking Rush, they actually make him stronger. But then whoever saidfra left ultraliberals were smart to begin with. Far left liberals are srupid intolerant people.

I don’t understand why anyone thinks what Tiny Brown says about anything is ‘important’.

I know Limbaugh could care less.

Zero probably won’t mention his name again. He is smart enough to know that he doesn’t want to give Rush anymore free publicity.

Uuum...Rush has been an “icon” for 20+ years now...Where has this stupid twit been??

Hey Tina...More people tune in and out of Rush on a commercial break, then listen to you in a month. I guess its too bad you'll never be an icon of any kind...just a typical useless idiot of the left. But if it makes you feel better, I'm sure you can be an icon to the MSNBC crowd... that's a little better then being an “unknown”.

"2005"?!? I have socks longer than she's been a US citizen. She can go pound sand. Or better go back to fricken England. She can b*tch about their politics all she wants.

He can do far more good in his bully pulpit than he could as President.
