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."

Shut up lady....Rush, despite his feelings toward backing a RINO, did just that during the election....

...he did it so we wouldn't get stuck with the Marxist that we eventually got stuck with anyway(and McQueeg wouldn't have gotten 47% if it wasn't for Sarah Palin, so think about that....).

so with all do respect for your longevity, just go home and sit and rock.

"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."

So, she has no idea what he talks about or what he means but she can conclude that he has "nothing to do with her side of it"?

Now we know where John got his exceptional skills in logic and reason./s

I am pretty sick of the McCain family too . . . I am also weary of Limbaugh. I personally feel he could make his point with less “entertaining.” I know this is a VERY unpopular thought at FR and Limbaugh has a huge following.

What I really want to see is someone less controversial giving solid evidence of the Dem destruction. I suppose there is a place for both types if we are ever going reach the majority.

Well that's good because the "Republican Party that she belongs to" is dead.

She should go on Red Eye and debate Greg Gutfeld’s mother.

They are about the same age.

Have Gutfeld’s mom could break out some wine and they could go at it.
