Shouldn't he be gettin' all mavericky? I can't believe the GOP is permitting itself to actually sink into a bigger hole, allowing a talk show (not even TV mind you), a TALK SHOW radio host bully the entire party. Not even a fellow elected offical. A radio talk show host. Wow.

How cowardly! The balls have fallen off that party. LOL!

1. He's vigilantly monitoring the helicopter sector of the executive branch.

It's a thankless task, but someone with a maverick heart has to do it!

2. Well . . . duh . . . the Maverick can't say anything.

Otherwise he'd have to bring candy and flowers to the party leader, too.

4. And to make things even funnier Limbaugh refers to himself as an "entertainer"

whenever he gets in hot water. If he gets busted for making something up his defense is that he's an "entertainer" - not a serious political analyst or commentator, he's just an "entertainer" whose shtick doesn't have to rely on facts and truthiness.

And now he's the head of the republican party. :rofl:

7. Politically speaking...

...i think it's lonnnnng overdue, put the label on the party-if you believe you benefit from rush, coulter or savage you should be questioned on the talk show circuit if you agree with them, daily.

8. Never fear, Dana Milbank has found him ...

Agape With Wrath
By Dana Milbank
Tuesday, March 3, 2009; Page A03

Apparently John McCain was operating under a 120-day cooling-off period.
<...>
Though C-SPAN beamed McCain's wrath to the nation, only a few lucky senators got to experience it in person. Among them was Thad Cochran (Miss.), the ranking Republican on the appropriations panel who only minutes before McCain's tirade said he would support the bill. Cochran, who once said the thought of a President McCain "sends a cold chill down my spine," fell under the Arizonan's glare.

Just MO, but I believe that his wrath may "finally" have been inspired by this.

White House Lets Limbaugh Be Voice Of GOP Opposition
