The Rush to Kiss Rush's Ass

Andy Ostroy

What's going on here? Didn't voters overwhelmingly reject the brand of hard core conservativism that Limbaugh spews every day? Don't Limbaugh's views appeal to just a small, ever-shrinking, myopic and increasingly obsolete GOP base? Just what are Republicans so afraid of then? Why is it that they clearly reject him when speaking candidly and viscerally about the future direction of the party, only to later tuck tail between legs, retract, parse and apologize? The answer is simple: they fear the shitstorm Limbaugh will relentlessly and mercilessly unleash before his alleged 22-million punishing listeners at election time if they don't.

Thanks to these spineless GOP leaders, and much to the delight of Obama, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Democrats everywhere, Limbaugh's become the Party's Tony Soprano. To be sure, he's clearly getting off on the power trip and, much like his TV counterpart, will bloody anyone who gets in his way. And that makes the left quite happy. With Limbaugh steering the ship, there's sure to be another Republican Titanic in 2010.

That's a little hyperbolic, but it's a nice thought.

Then again, Rushole is all hyperbole masquerading as a grand philosophy and coming off looking like the drug-addled, bloated jackass that he is. To us. The 'bottom' Repugs lap it up and ask for more, harder and dryer this time. Ooooh, Big Daddy, give it to those godless commie fucks! Fuck us gooooood!

Whether he actually believes his own spew or not, and he probably does, the gullible true-believer wingtards sure do, and with his $400M contract he's takin' it to the bank.
