(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."

Apparently, every last one of them.

Rush Limbaugh maybe an entertainer but he’s a better entertainer then John McCain is a politician.At least Limbaugh stands for something.
Whereas McCain.Who the hell knows what he stands for.

The McCains are SORE LOSERMENS. McCain lost the election. My advice: Get over it. Conservatives rule!

WHY ON EARTH WAS JOHN MCCAIN’S MOTHER ON THE TONIGHT SHOW AT THIS POINT IN TIME?To bash conservatives.
It's funny how her son is so quiet ahead of the 2010 Arizona elections, yet both she and her granddaughter Meghan are out stirring up trouble by bashing conservatives, eh?

"What he (Rush Limbaugh)
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." With all due respect, Momma McCain, that's exactly the reason your son lost the election to Obama.

That’s exactly what he is. She seems to be very observant in her old age. Has she noticed her son is wearing a turncoat theses days?
