Good David Frum piece

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

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.
