Funny how my favorite political reads happen to be Davids...Frum on the Right and Corn on the Left.

Here's a great David Frum opinion on the recent Rush Limbaugh exposure and comments on the GOP. Good stuff...

Good article, Spence. It's too bad Limbaugh's such a tool because if you can sift through some of his rants, he occasionally has some insightful comments. I think he isolates a lot of conservatives because of his brashness and willingness to speak his mind. But I guess the brashness and controversy equals ratings for him.

I think it's a case of the left taking someone they know people can grow to dislike, Rush Limbaugh this time and using talking points to hang that around the neck of the Republicans. It's been done before, Newt comes to mind. I would hope Obama has more important stuff on his plate. It's sophomorish at best.

Sophomorish? Sounds like you're whining to me :rotflmao:

You are exactly right, they employed the same strategy with Newt. Its a slight of hand to turn the attention away from the complete sh*tstorm Obama is building. A cheap trick and a parlor game that will be exposed and forgotten quickly. People's sinking 401k's and their devastated retirement funds will command more attention than a GOP blowhard pundit.

I heard a talking head this weekend say Obama has taken an economy on the brink of disaster and managed to turn it into an unmitigated catastrophe.

That large well-cropped photo that led the article hit me like a punch. At first glance, I didn't recognize Rush, probably because his baldness is missing. I suppose I instinctively imagined a full head of the same whitish hair as the sideburns and was looking at a photo of the oft-ranting Ted Kennedy. I kid you not. The resemblence, though fleeting, is there. I was seriously into photography at one time and know well the propoganda uses to which it has been put. The photo fit the article well. I had to chuckle at the last paragraph talking about the large number of Republicans in Pennsylvania switching to the Dem party because Repubs had become too extreme. AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT?:rotf2:
