QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Mar 3 2009, 06:01 PM)  what is all this shit i'm hearing about rush limbaugh and how he is or should be the leader of the republican party. is this a joke? Michael Steele, the chairman of the RNC, recently said, "Rush Limbaugh's whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it is incendiary. Yes, it is ugly." Limbaugh basically responded with something like, "If I were the head of the Republican Party, I'd quit, because the Republican Party is teh suck." And then Steele apologized, saying, "I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership. I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking. It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not." So basically, instead of sticking to his guns, he groveled before Limbaugh. The story goes a bit deeper. Limbaugh's a pretty polarizing figure, so the Democrats are working really hard to make Limbaugh out to be the "spiritual" head of the Republican Party, if you will -- because Limbaugh basically repulses anyone but diehard Repubs, so the Dems hope to draw some in-the-middle-type people by doing so. |

And it's not because I disagree with almost everything that comes out of his mouth. It's because he considers himself to be an intelligent "journalist", when really he's an entertainer. He's no different from Jon Stewart, but Jon Stewart doesn't think of himself as a journalist. |
