What a noob:
Attacking Rush, Continued [Guy Benson]
Last month I noted a synchronized verbal assault launched against Rush Limbaugh by so-called political analysts Paul Begala and James Carville. They were feverishly making the case that Rush is the de facto leader of the Republican party, and repeated this talking point as often as possible.
At the time, I theorized these attacks were no coincidence; likely hatched during the daily conference calls among Bagala, Carville, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Lo and behold, this past weekend, Stephanopoulos induced Republican Rep. Eric Cantor to repudiate Rush on This Week. Meanwhile, down the dial on CBS, Rahm Emanuel raised the Limbaugh issue unprompted, rehashing the Begala/Carville meme about Rush’s status within the GOP.
I concluded my previous post on this topic with a joke about CNN simply hiring Robert Gibbs as an “analyst.” Never fear: He’s in the loop, too.
The result of this kind of simpleton fucktardance is that we get pieces like this that get regurgitated in the ever-dutiful MSM (fuck them and the whore they rode in on).
Well played, Mr. De Facto.
UPDATE via router and Pablo. Contrary to the plumline, Steele apologizes to Rush.

He needs to resign before I’ll have anything to do with that little club what he’s de facto president of. Bunch of homos.

Mrk my words: This is all battlefield prep for the Fairness Doctrine (or whatever the Dems will call it) debate. They’re preparing a door for the squishy Republicans to walk through.

Christ. Now the moron turns around and kisses Mr. Limbaugh’s ring? He’s a de facto fucking idiot.

I think we need to focus. The more time were talking about rush limbsugh is the less time were talking about multi trillion dollar deficits and falling stock prices despite the passage of everything the dems wanted.
They are starting to realize they won’t be able to run on their own record in 2010. It’s up to us to remind everyone (constantly) who is completely in charge now.
Focus.

Well that’s the point, phil. Michael Steele doesn’t have his eye on the ball. He’s worse than useless. He’s actively revising and extending the dirty socialist talking points.

Steele to Rush: I’m sorry
So reads Politico’s (and Hot Air’s) headline, yet Steele never uses those words.
This is as close as he weasels:
Steele apologizes to Rush
Holy galloping apology inflation, Danman!

Hey, Happy, Meijer is having a sale this week. 6 boxes of Ho-Hos for only 5 bucks. Or, maybe it’s 5 boxes for 6 bucks? I can’t be expected to remember.
They don’t have Meijer’s out there in Cal-i-forn-i-a, do they? Shame.

Outlaw? No, dumbass is the correct term. Blegging fights with Limbaugh does not help the Republicans, RNC or conservatism. Come on Michael, get smarter than that.

I always put my Ho-Ho’s in the freeze for like an hour or two. That makes them very tasty.

Jesus David, Rush is not the problem here. Michael Steele created this media storm by being hamfisted. Steele should have treated Rush just like Howard Dean treated Kos. Well, not the part about Howard Dean coming over without notice in the middle of the night and blowing Kos whenever he demanded, but the rest of it. How hard is that to figure out.

What would have been so hard about Steele explaining that Rush isn’t talking to dumb fucking idiots, who knew what he meant. How but Steele saying … “I dunno, why don’t you ask Rush?”
Between his participation at the Black state of the union and this … honestly. We’re fucked.

Hi Carin! I had to go to Ralph’s cause they still have Lean Pockets on sale for .99 and I still had room in my freezer but it takes awhile cause I have to take them out of the boxes. They didn’t have anymore gum though what I wanted to get … you know those little round kind what have 60 pieces that you set on your desk or in your car or whatever. I’m going through a lot of gum cause I’m quitting smoking so I don’t get stuck paying for little Timmy’s new kidney. Also, Asian peanuts.
Who’s been giving David Frum attention? That’s seems unwise.

This isn’t like when you show up late to pick me up for the movies and then are all hey we don’t have time to get popcorn. Well, kind of it’s like that but this would be more protracted.

“Sure, but until then, keep working “socialist†into every other sentence and keep pretending the last eight years never happened.”
Why would I deny the last eight years? I’m proud of the way the President ran the War on Terror. Killed lots ‘n lots of muslim terrorists.
No attacks on America.
What’s not to be proud of?

CPAC looks like Nazi Germany? What sort of asshole lets that stand? Does the “State of Black America” look like a fucking Tarzan Movie? Should I use that line for effect the next time the subject arises?
I can see that going over really well. “Gee, the NBA playoffs didn’t look very diverse. Shit, it looked like something from fucking National Geographic or something. Hardly diverse at all…. know what I mean, Bob Costas?”

*Why would I deny the last eight years? *
I won’t either- the President was good on terror, the republican congress spent like liberals and were voted out of office. That’s how the democratic process works. THe majority is responsible for their time in office. Plenty of people on this site criticized the spending by repubs and the failure of the bush adminstration to veto alot of it. Also, if you’ll remember correctly, some of that wasteful spending was in attempts to reach across the aisle (which we should stop doing) to fund social programs the dems wanted and repubs compromised on.
So if you want an admission that 6 years of a Bush/Repub Congress resulted in quite a bit of wasteful spending, ok, I’ll give you that. However, when liberals say “wasteful spending” what they mean is “spending on Iraq” and I refuse to call THAT wasteful spending, especially given the WIN we’re experiencing in Iraq.
On the other side, the party with the majority in congress and the president in the White House OWNS the current situation- blaming it on the past admin is not an option- part of Obama’s hope and change is about- well hope and change. Plus, you didn’t hear republicans whining about how Clinton’s pathetic fight against terror brought us to the point where we were incredibly vulnerable to attack (and please, dispute me, then go google Jamie Fucking Gorelick).
