BREAKING NEWS: TIME'S BLOGGER CRITICIZES OBAMA

Oh, sorry. The journalist/blogger's actual words are:

 "As Jonathan Martin makes clear in the Politico today, this entire [Limbaugh] controversy has been cooked up and force fed to the American people by Obama's advisers.* In other words, it's not the kind of change you can believe in."

So I guess Obama's advisers are responsible for this, not Obama. But just in case we don't get that, this tool actually puts a little note at the bottom which reads:

"*By advisers here I am including the outside Democratic strategists and supporters discussed above who have influenced the White House line on Limbaugh."

In his lengthy blog post, the author does not once actually link Obama to the efforts to marginalize the GOP even though Obama has named Limbaugh by name and must know what strategy his advisor's are pursuing. He only mentions "Obama's advisers" "The White House" and "Obama aides" He does find space however to attack John McCain:

"it is also the same petty strategy that John McCain employed during the presidential campaign".

All I can say is I look forward to his next pathetic evasions that criticize stuff Obama does without actually implicating his Dear Leader.

...Rush Opens Mouth and Removes All Doubt

Submitted by ToddLuvsLounging on Thu, 03/05/2009 - 03:21.

LiberalToddLuvsLounging Just Saying -

Rush could have just kept his mouth shut after Obama mentioned his name .... naaaaah. Don't Republicans have a pair or are they eunichs to the Emperor of Right Wing Radio. This embarassing episode could easily have been avoided if Rush had any tact or Republicans had any political sense.

I don't think Barack thought it would have caused this strumpet. It's like finding a twenty on the ground. You have to pick it up, don't you?

If Republicans can get trapped so easily, they really do need new talent because the current team just can't cut it.

However, there is a danger for Democrats in over-playing this hand. They still have to govern and it's hard to govern with an opposition that seems to be getting even more furious at their own weakness and makes them look like wimps. Saying that, you can tell the Dems were running around with feathers poking out of their grins.

It is so dumb. Dem mentions the latest Rush outrage. Press asks a Republican to defend Rush. Republican can't defend Rush without offending moderates and independents.  Rush's feelings are hurt and his minions attack offending Republican. Republican appologizes. Public thinks Republicans are crazy to have talk show host as their leader and loses another million voters. Rush says another stupid thing. And away we go ....

I''m not sure why the Dems are doing this right now. I wonder if this makes it easier for moderate Republicans to vote with the Democrats on critical bills coming up. It could be the Chicago way. Or the Dems just wanna have fun. But they should save a little for next year. Or they could use Hannity. He's a real ass.
