A Republican strategist, John Weaver, says the GOP is headed for an electoral blowout in 2012 if they continue to be led by the demonic triumvirate of Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and "Dick" Cheney.
So there is a certain joyous result promised in us putting up with these scumbags a little longer. On the one hand, they turn my stomach. On the other hand, I can put up with a sour tummy if it means another electoral blowout.
How low can they go? I hope they haven't hit bottom yet.

Apology Time
The latest guy to call Rush Limbaugh "an entertainer," Rep. Todd Tiahrt (Republican, of course, from Kansas), is now apologizing. Someone asked him if Rush was "de facto leader of the GOP." And Tiahrt said, "No, no, he's just an entertainer."
A Tiahrt spokesman said Tiahrt was only trying to defend Rush against the suggestion that he could be blamed for the GOP’s troubles. "The congressman believes Rush is a great leader of the conservative movement in America -- not a party leader responsible for election losses," the spokesman said. "Nothing the congressman said diminished the role Rush has played and continues to play in the conservative movement."
I haven't heard anything that phony since that time when John McCain said, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong," he later came out and said what he was referring to was American workers as being the fundamentals of the economy, and of course you can't badmouth American workers. I'm like, "Wow, that lie's both flimsy and sleazy!"
But as for Tiahrt, another brave Republican speaks his mind and goes crashing to a flaming wreck, all to appease Rush Limbaugh.

Michael Steele
How would you like to be Michael Steele on a day like this? The guy is getting virtually nothing but ridicule for kowtowing to Rush Limbaugh. There's a lot of laughter today, a lot!
Oh, that has to be embarrassing. I know for myself alone, any little headache is magnified, like if someone looks at you funny, you think the whole town's in on it ... when they're not. But what if not just the whole town was in on it but the whole country and world? That would make for a very bad day! Steele;s not just incompetent, he's gutless, servile.
Bobby Jindal seems to have weathered his days of ridicule and scorn recently. All you have to do is drop out of sight for a few days till it essentially blows over. Try to say little about it. But even he was back in the news today, saying he thought it was a good thing that Steele apologized. A good thing? Give me a break. Apologies like this are never a good thing. It shows he's weak and spineless. If that's a good thing, may we have plenty more of it!
If I'm Rush Limbaugh I'm also embarrassed about it, but the actual Rush probably isn't. This is something I would think through were I him. Yes, Steele apologized. Yes, Jindal is cooing in your ear. Yes, Eric Cantor has his mouth shut for now. But Rush has got to know these people actually hate his guts. You can't convince me they respect him or enjoy kissing his ass. No one wants to be in that position.
So Rush has a lot fewer friends than it may appear. If he were to stumble and fall, that'd be better news for the Republicans than it is for the Democrats! Basically everyone hates him.

Life, Liberty, And The Pursuit Of Something
I saw the story early today about Rush Limbaugh saying the preamble of the Constitution said certain things about "life, liberty, whatever, whatever, and the pursuit of happiness." I'm no constitutional scholar but my first thought was that is from the Declaration of Independence.
It's good to see everyone jumping on that. Not that the guy can't make a mistake, but I don't believe he's real forgiving when other people say and do things, especially guys on the other side of the aisle. Although he's getting pretty dicey with his fellow Republicans, any who aren't sufficiently fast enough to bow to him. Personally, I don't listen to him. I couldn't stomach that voluntarily. The only time I hear him is like if I'm somewhere and they have him on. But I get out as fast as possible.
The same thing with Bill O'Reilly. I flipped over to his show tonight while commercials were on everything else. But he was doing the usual blowhard routine, "I'm right, everyone else is wrong" thing he's known for. So I went back to the commercials. How can anyone stand nothing but ranting? It's bizarre. He was bellyaching that Obama picked Sebelius for HHS, that she supports abortion rights. Now that's bizarre. He does know about the Democrats' constituencies? He does know they're generally pro-choice? He does know that elections have consequences?
Did he similarly lambast Bush if Bush didn't do just the opposite of what the Republicans stood for?
