McCain mom takes swipe at Limbaugh [calls him an "entertainer"]
CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2009-05-14

(CNN) — The always-outspoken Roberta McCain — mother of Sen. John McCain — took a swipe at Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, saying the popular conservative radio host "does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to".

"I belong to the Republican Party," McCain, 97, said during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. "What he represents of the Republican Party has nothing to do with my side of it. I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

McCain also praised Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele for labeling Limbaugh an "entertainer" earlier this year during an interview on CNN.

"I think [Steele] was exactly right when he defined this man as an entertainer," she said. "To my horror, the Republican Party made him back up on it."

How many more McCain women are going to be trotted out before the media figures out we don’t really care what any of them think?

All of the McCain women aren’t worth a dime together.

"I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

Because she has never listened to his show. She has only been told what Rush talks about. Why else would Leno want her on his show unless she was going to trash Rush and conservatives?!

They can’t stop trying to find a “TRUE” Republican to put Rush down.

How strange.

Rush calls himself an entertainer too.

She’s absolutely right. Neither does Dick Cheney. If Rush was the face of the R party, we would have won the last election.

Exactly.

She also said she wouldn’t vote for her son.

We’re beginning to see the depth of infiltration on our side.
