After Palin, Jindal and Dubya, the Republicans hungrily are reaching out and supporting anyone who can put a sentence together and "sound good".
I believe it is that simple.

If your idea of "sound good" is that bloviating, whiny, and preacher cadence of Rush Limbaugh... I can't stand the way he sounds. Not just what he says, but HOW he delivers it.

Didn't Limpballs give the excuse for his abuse and addiction to Oxycontine and hydrocodone for "pain" from a "botched" back operation? So, it does make you wonder: what's he taking for the "pain" these days? It has to be some kind of opiate. I mean, all that jumping up and down wouldn't be possible unless he was high as a kite.

Ask a Republican if they're embarassed about all that. I asked one that very question this morning. The answer? "You're mean!"
cowboyneok

Proper response to "You're mean!"
Answer: "Damn right we are mean. We've learned it from you Republicans. Its the only thing you seem to respect. If I have to be mean, in order to be fair and prevent nasty Republican policies, then I'm going to be one proud mean and nasty Democrat!"

That sounds about right. I was thinking of pulling that into a short quip as follows: I speak plainly to a Republican, (s)he says "You're mean!" Then I respond, "I have my Republican moments." I smile and exit stage left.

My favorite quote from the article is this, "He made fun of one man’s service in Vietnam, to laughter."
Yes, lots of Republican chickenhawk chuckling and laughter over a veteran who served in Viet Nam. No caveat, from Rush, about how he "sat the Viet Nam war out because of a nasty anal cyst?"
Those "Support the Troop" chickenhawk Republicans love to just LAUGH and LAUGH at those silly enough to serve their country! They also like sporting those "Support the Troops!" slogans while hoping the troop's leader or commander-in-chief fails. How does that work? You can't have it both ways... Any hypocrisy in telling us the last eight years we need to support Bush's policies because we need to "Support the Troops!" and now they are publically hoping Obama fails?

Why doesn't somebody pull the plug on this guy's microphone. Seriously. He has nothing to say and he's not helping this country in any way. He, like the GOP, appeal to the lowest common denominator of humanity. Give him a soapbox and a corner to stand on and see how well he does. He doesn't deserve to have access to so many people.
cowboyneok

No! He needs to just keep on talking. He is exposing himself for what he is, and as long as he is the Republican Leader then they have to stand by EVERYTHING he says. Republicans OWN Rush Limbaugh. Let him talk.
Republicans are dangerous when they are allowed to slink away and hide. We need to identify them and keep them out in the open, and telling us exactly what they think.

The GOP has pretty much just become this decade's Gilligan's Island. You just have this collection of disparate, but equally bizarre characters: Palin, McCain, Jindal, Limbaugh, Steele. Seriously, you could make this into a sitcom, but no one would buy it, because they would say it's too improbable.

I'm getting tired of watching President Bush cry about his "hearing from four Presidents" on the health of Barbara Bush getting a transplanted pig's heart valve into her "heart." President Bush has been awfully weepy ever since Dubya destroyed his family name. This isn't the first, or last time, President Bush is going to cry publically so the media needs to stop playing it over and over. We get it, he is upset his wife is under the knife but his crying IS NOT NEWS anymore. I'm sorry Barbara had to have the pig's valve implanted in her heart, but the news should just be the status of her recovery. President Bush Sr. has played that sympathy card one too many times, and his crying publically is just getting embarassing and old.

The bloated sweaty one is only a few beats away from cardiac arrest, talk about the posterboy for gluttony! Rush's lifestyle will be his own demise and from the looks of hiim, I hope he has a cardiologist on call. You can't hold that much hatred inside and expect no consequences.

I don't think the Republicans have realized yet that no one believes them anymore (look at the opinion polls!). A "return to conservative principles" will not cut it; America has abandoned conservative principles. No amount of rhetorical gamesmanship will change that. It doesn’t matter if they “haven’t been done right” or not. They need to stop and rethink what they stand for (hint: insert new issues here). Hopefully they will take the opportunity to choose issues that actually matter (as opposed to harassing the gays), but I’m not holding my breath. If the Republicans could actually do some mature self-inspection (and then work with Obama to achieve these things that matter to them), this country might actually have a chance.
Check out this flier from 1955 on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Unholy_three.png). The old "unholy three" were: fluoridated water, polio serum, and mental hygiene! I guess the current "unholy three" might be: the gays, secularism, and socialized medicine! I wonder what they will choose for the new “unholy three”? This time, why can't they pick three that are less stupid?! Come on guys, pick a new three things to be scared of!

"And, of course, let us never forget that the bailouts of banks and insurance companies were initiated by the Republican president Limbaugh defended for eight years"
He's right, Limbaugh did defend Bush, er, except when he criticized him...over the bailout:
I saw the whole Limbaugh speech at CPAC and there is something I haven't seen reported. He mocked Obama for using a teleprompter (Politico and Drudge have now been instructed to push that angle). But only minutes after that, Drudge started reading from a script on the lectern. He literally stared down and read it word for word when he was blasting Obama about different stuff. I don't know why no one has reported on that hypocrisy.

I think Drudge's point is that without the teleprompter, Obama is a bablling idiot.
I like the guy, but if you pay attention to most of his talks, he makes GW Bush sound smart. If you put several videos of the two side by side, it's quite obvious BHO is no different.

Yeah, Rush is a slimeball, but I wish you guys would stop giving him the publicity. This stunt he pulled at the cpac convention probably generated more multi-millions in publicity and advertising for his radio network, and you guys posting about him every day just perpetuates that.. STOP giving him the publicity already. His network's sponsors don't need more fuel for the fire....

Not Pauly. They knew that Big Pussy was working for the Feds. Big Pussy is the one who went overboard.
Did anyone else notice the way Rush kept snorting while he was at the podium? The term for that is "Kacking". It happens when the cocaine put up one's nose starts dripping down the back of their throat.
Methinks the Fat Boy did an 8-Ball before he took the stage.
