This is just crap. Shall I pick this apart for you?
Honestly, because Rush doesnt think for himself. Thats not necessarily a slap because hes not paid to be a thinkerhes an entertainer. I cant remember the last time that he has veered from the talking points from the DC/Manhattan chattering class.
Just to name a few examples where Rush went against the New York-Washington Corridor of Conservative IntelligentsiaTM:
Harriet Miers
Dubai Ports Deal
Republican Spending Abuses
John McCain - resurgent hero
and against the GOP party establishment: immigration.
Clearly whoever said this to Marc Ambinder does not listen to Rush and is not a committed, across the board conservative.
Also, I have to think that hes dying to have Hillary in the White House. Bill Clinton made Rush a megastar.
Actually, Rush was a megastar before Bill Clinton. And Rush worked hard against the Clintons. And Rush was a hero in 1994 helping beat back the Clinton agenda, which, according to this idiot’s logic, would have only made Rush more of a star had it passed.
Having another Clinton back in power would make him the Leading Voice of the Opposition once again.
Um, Rush has been the leading voice of opposition against the liberal drift of the Washington GOP since before 2004. Again, this idiot must not listen to Rush Limbaugh. And having a Clinton White House and a Democrat Congress would actually not be good for talk radio in general, given the zealous advocacy of the (Un)Fairness Doctrine by the Dems.
Here we have someone who I suspect is from an evangelical circle in Washington who is so committed to having one of our own (and I say “our” because I too am an evangelical), he’s willing to take out the most consistently principled voice of conservatism in America to meet his needs.
Christ had Judas and the conservative movement has this Huckabee supporter.
