You want to know what is not funny?  Emmanuel (and others) biting on the hook Limbaugh so carefully placed in the water.  Perspective being the name of that tune, Limbaugh just made it inside the private circle of the President.  Very.  Dumb.  Rookie.  Move.

I don't know, I think it's very calculated.  Most moderate people don't like Rush Limbaugh and he is now without a doubt the face of the republican party.  And he's on the record as wanting the president to fail. It doesn't matter what side you are on, hoping the president fails means hoping the country fails, and most people don't like that.

Your right, it is calculated. They want to tie Ann Coulter and Rush around the necks of the Republicans. If they can ( and Ann and Rush will help them) it will be nothing but bad for Republicans.

Crash and burn.

Wha, huh? How? "...private circle of the President"? Recognizing the blustering blowhard as king of the crazed conservatives in NO WAY makes him close friends with Obama. What ARE you trying to say because you can't mean THIS?

No, I don't mean that.  I'm talking about recognition and free publicity, the drug of the nearly powerful.  The Fat Man is that certain kinda fool that likes to hear the sound of his own name, especially coming out of the mouth of the President's First Mouthpiece.

The more loudly he speaks, the worse the Republicans fare. Why not get him the biggest megaphone possible? He alienates everyone who thinks for themselves and forces the elected Republicans to distance themselves from him, alienating them from their base.

Put Rush front-and-center, and keep him there.

I'm finally getting married...

Yeah repubs...you're Rush's $#@&!

Sorry so crude...but it is what it is.

Crude works with them - I'll use that at some point in the not-too-distant future.

I'm finally getting married...

Well, he already owns the men...
