I hope you have all read Al Franken's incredible book: Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot where he shows in great detail the hypocrisy that is Rush Limbaugh.  I guess this is why the Republican Party and Norm Coleman are so intent on keeping Al Franken out of the Senate.

I know it has been a while since you have heard from me, but I just couldn't pass this up.  This post at my favorite political blog CrooksAndLiars.com led me to several thoughts that I must share with you here.

Limbaugh Hypocrisy

While the post is very focused on the feud between the Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele and the Right Wing Radio Talk Show Host, Rush Limbaugh, I picked up on a couple of things.  I could probably pick up on a LOT of things, if I had the stomache to listen to the fat blowhard on a daily basis.

In his rant, defending his stance for wishing Obama and Dems and Liberals all fail, he rants that Obama is doing nothing about the economy as the unemployment numbers get bigger and bigger.  Let's not even talk about the fact that Obama and Dems passed the America Recovery Act in the first 30 days of the Obama Administration.  Let's move on to what he rants about later in the radio cast, on how government can't do anything for you.  Seriously, his hypocrisy is just amazing!  Within a 5 minute time frame he complains that government is doing nothing, then he says that government can't do anything.  Which is it, Rush?  Seriously?

In addition, it seems that Rush has become the defacto leader of the Republican Party.  Neocons are fond of their authoritarian style leadership and it is glaringly apparent that Rush is the voice and sole leader of the party given the way some bow and scrape at his feet.  As Digby writes:

"But he is, as some of us have been pointing for years, the true leader of the Republican Party and we were told that he was a harmless, mainstream entertainer and we should all just lighten up, even as luminaries of the Republican party and the luminaries of the conservative movement bowed and scraped like abused streetwalkers at the feet of their violent pimp."

You have no idea how elated this makes me feel as a Democrat and a Liberal.  It is just so easy to blow his arguments out of the water and expose his hypocrisy.  Having a single bloviated intellectually vacuuous target makes our job all the more easier.  You're doing a heckuva job Rushie!!!

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

UPDATE:

And here it is...I bring you the beginning of the implosion of the Republican Party.  They turn on Michael Steele.

It is a sad and pathetic day when the party of Lincoln turns on its first black Chairman.

UPDATE AGAIN:

The Rushbo Strategy

It turns out that the high paid consultants of the Democratic Party finally earn their keep and Rushbo's narcissism takes the bait and Republican congressional leaders fall right into the trap.
