She must've seen something in his mom-jeans that just totally threw her off her game.

(5,125 posts)It is not only the Bain -> Clear Channel -> Limbaugh financial accountability.
But Romney was Limbaugh's "true conservative" in 2008, a fact that the GOP spin machine ignores in their creation of the 2012 fictitious narrative.

(28,271 posts)The present-day Republican leadership consists of a bunch of pasty-faced white guys, perpetually waiting in line to kiss Limbaugh's ass, over and over. There's nothing that Pig Boy can do or say that will make the Republicans walk away from him---too much money involved.....
They are afraid of Rush trashing them to his sheeple so they don't speak ill of him EVER.

(35,701 posts)milquetoast and mild disagreement is more like it. He criticizes the language, not the content. So if Rush had said "loose woman" or " "prostitute" maybe he would have been ok with it?

(34,108 posts)What the OP posted was sarcasm.
When Axelrod says "profiles in courage" that was sarcasm too.
