Is Rush Limbaugh running the GOP?
Posted: 12:35 PM ET
From CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Rush Limbaugh is the face of the Republican Party — at least that’s how some Democrats want it.

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel calls Limbaugh the “voice and intellectual force and energy” behind the GOP and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs says he’s “a national spokesperson for conservative views.” This after the radio host recently repeated his claim that he wants President Obama to fail.

It also comes at the same time as a dust-up within conservative ranks between Limbaugh and Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee. Over the weekend, Steele called Limbaugh an “entertainer” whose comments are “ugly.”

Needless to say, Limbaugh has had a field day with all the finger-pointing, going after both the Democrats and Steele on his radio show. Limbaugh insists he’s not in charge of the GOP and doesn’t want to be. He says considering the sad state of the Republican Party, he would quit if he were chairman.

As for Steele, the radio host also suggests he appears to be supporting President Obama and Nancy Pelosi and that he is being used by the “liberal media.”

Well, after Rush’s millions of listeners heard that one, it took Steele about 3 minutes to backpedal, reaching out to the right-wing radio host to say he was sorry… that his words came out wrong, that he has enormous respect for Limbaugh… and that what he actually meant was that a lot of people want to make Limbaugh the “bogeyman” when he’s not. Steele said today he has spoken with Limbaugh and quote “we are all good.”

Here’s my question to you: Who’s running the Republican Party, the RNC or Rush Limbaugh?

Tune in to the Situation Room at 5 pm to see if Jack reads your answer on air.

they have no business presenting partisan material. The soldiers are not allowed to proclaim their political beliefs so they should not be subjected hearing their, Commander in Chief, is wished to fail. WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rush is a boil on America's butt.
