I was just over at HuffPo reading about the cock fight between Steele and Limbaugh. So, now this Rumsfeldian party, the Cheney GFY party, the party of "How dare you? Do you know who I am?" is in full dog-eat-fellow-dog mode. What a shock ...Oh, and no one could be more surprised than Rush! He didn't have a thing in the world to do with the fact that the Republican party is ... how did he put it? "in a sad-sack state."To quote Bugs Bunny: What a maroon. Hey, Taylor et al.

For perspective on Rush, just go the internet and read some of the poison that emanates from Rush.

One of his really funny bits was making fun of the homeless. I assume since he finds homeless men so funny, homeless children must be hilarious.

As a Jew and a supporter of equal rights, I must say I always got a chuckle from his term “feminazi”. After all comparing those who support women’s rights and Nazis, the WORST PEPLE WHO EVER EXISTED is dead on.

How about his amusing obersvation about soldiers who supported withdrawal from Iraq:

“The phony soldiers.” –on U.S. service members who support withdrawal from Iraq (Source)

This coming from a guy who was 4-F due to a cyst on his butt.

Or maybe his greatest of all:

“He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act. … This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.” –on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research

But Rush has the pulse of America.

It was a wild and poorly organized bunch of his radio bits, tossed together.I did not "hang."Now, beyond that agreement, I'm sure we would disagree on what parts were warped.But, in any case, credit due where credit is due.I agree.It was discombulating.

I did not “hang.”

Now, beyond that agreement, I’m sure we would disagree on what parts were warped.

I agree.

It was discombulating.

Steele is telling the truth, but this points out more of the fractious current in the GOP.

I admire you Taylor for hanging out amongst the squalor the other night. I think I would have been tempted to call out Ann Coulter for her bile.

Being around all those self righteous hate mongers had to be a little scary. Any audience that tolerates let alone applauds the likes of Rush, Hannity and Coulter is frightening. I saw Rush’s “performance” on CNN and agree that he seemed even more off balance than usual. These CPAC people (I use the term loosely) really do live in their own world. A world where the Bible is twisted and distorted to fit their narrow self serving views. The roster of speakers looked like the Clinton Haters Hall of Fame. I am so glad to see these people pushed to the political margins where they belong. Let’s hope Obama serves two terms and that Republicans never get their hands on the White House or Congress again!
