Rush 2 GOP 0
Yesterday Michael Steele (Chairman of the RNC) had to apologize to Rush Limbuagh (Radio personality) for calling Limbaugh an "entertainer" and not the leader of the GOP.
That is twice now that a GOP official has said something the Corpulent One viewed as insulting and twice an official has then been forced to publicly apologize. The fear here is that the GOP is becoming a hostage to Limbaugh's far right and silly world view. Each time Rush forces an apology he belittles the actual party regulars and hampers their ability to craft an agenda. He also stakes a claim for his views as the unassailable center of GOP thought. Can that ever be a good thing?
