Dems Mock Limbaugh With Online Form Letter Apology
As if the Democrats needed to rub in the fact that they still have a leg up in the 'Internet' and 'sense of humor' departments, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched a new site called "I'm Sorry Rush." Here, visitors can construct apology notes to Rush Limbaugh from a number of elected Republican officials who have recently crossed the talk show gasbag.
The site hosts a form letter, equipped with drop-down menus in order to complete sentences. The letter begins, "Dear Rush, I'm sorry that I called you [an opportunistic brick thrower/ugly/an idiot]," in reference to comments made by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, Congressman Phil Gingrey of Georgia, and Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina. All three men have made comments that were dismissive of Rush, only to later backtrack and apologize for repudiating the conservative, talk-radio star.
Of course, this is all part of an attempt by Democrats to make Rush Limbaugh the unofficial figurehead of the Republican party. Their rationale does make a lot of strategic sense when you consider that this is a man who mocked Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease, used illegal prescriptions to feed an oxycodone habit, and said, "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream." He is a fine American, that Rush Limbaugh. [From: I'm Sorry Rush, and Daily News]

@snoop
you must lack the basic ability to reason...
have you ever listened to any of them?
listen to glenn beck one day. then maybe you can gain some common sense.
jeremyMar 6th 2009 12:21AM
if you listen to rush, he has many good points. too bad the mindless people who voted for obama do not even know what he stands for and does not know what he is really doing to the country. and why does bush get blamed for the economy. when he got into office we were in a recession. times got better. about two years ago democrats took over the house and senate, then the croonies in opec raised gas prices and bush still gets blamed for everything. why don't democrats take responsibility for the fannie may and freddie and the community reinvestment act that caused most of this??? bush and other republicans actually asked for REGULATION something republicans don't usually do about the housing crisis... and now obama is going to tax everything he can and raise every where he can and pelosi and reid are pulling his strings... you know the last time there was such a blind following of a leader and such a cultural revolution about a leader was hitler... and that didn't work out so well...
at least i can take solace in knowing i voted for mccain. up to this election no one could ever say anything bad about him, even the new york times rated him as one of the best politicians. maybe hollywood and the tech industry will gain a brain and stop supporting liberalism.

Do you even know what the CRA is? This act stopped the illegal red lining of ethnic and poorer neighborhoods. The loans that were given after this passed are doing much better then most. The people had a 10-20% DOWN PAYMENT, 31% DEBT TO INCOME RATIO, and a fixed rate. Unlike the sub primes these loans had personal responsibility and personal dollars invested in their homes. They have the lowest bankruptcy and foreclosure rates. You know conventienal loans

I sent an apology letter to Rush too - gave me a good laugh! It amazes me that the GOP treats Rush like he's the leader of their party. If Rush really were all that great, the GOP wouldn't have lost the last two elections (maybe it was because they didn't listen to Rush enough - lol - but I doubt it).

The Right is wrong 100% of the time. Bush proved that.
JoyceMar 6th 2009 6:04AM
Louisa, That's funny. Rush doesn't pander to anyone. What you mean is that Rush only panders to his fellow fringe Republicans. He's an idiot and a hypocrit. Need an example of his hypocrisy? He said that junkies should be put under the jail. I guess he meant all junkies except himself. Those of us on the other side are loving Rush being in the spotlight. It makes the republican slide into oblivion so much more entertaining.
ErickMar 6th 2009 12:03PM
Typical. Elites in power attacking a private citizen who has a microphone.
If Obama is lowering himself to a radio personality, then he should take Rush's offer to have a live debate on air with no teleprompters, aides or Saul Alinsky

It's so funny how Republicans talk about Obamas big Government. George W. Bush (Rep's can't even say his name) had the largest expansion of Government in our Country's history. Obama had to spend one dollar to be bigger than Bush's Republican Government. It's so funny to me that Obama hasn't been in Office for more than 60 days and Reb's are expecting a miracle to happen, as if all the Trillion dollars has been spent. They are so desperate to save their job's and positions that Rush looks like their only option. How the mighty have fallen. Years ago Dem's had a lot of power and no face for the party to rally around. Not it's the Reb's who have no face and no power and are imploding every single day. The 2010 election is not going to look much better. If only one Stimulus package works, it will be just enough for Dem's to tell the public that Reb's tried to ruin your lifestyle by not supporting the President. Lets see if you guys (Reb's) can rebuild for 2012, because 2010 is so far out of reach. Atleast you have a great bunch to lead you down the path, i.e. Palin, Jindal, Sandford, and Gingrey. Wow, it looks like Rush just might be your best OPTION.

Nobody here is saying Bush was a rockstar conservative who led us to the riches. He had good points and bad from a conservatives point of view. I can at least be honest with myself and my opinion of Bush. Obama is a big govt, spend happy socialist who is currently undertaking the bigest powergrab for the govt since Hoover.
And I dont think we all need a lesson in history on how Hoover screwed us and put us further into economic despair.
Obama is repeating history and expecting a different result.
Atlas will shrug.
BillMar 6th 2009 1:16PM
Everyone knew what Obama was walking into when he won the election. Two wars, high and getting higher unemployment, our economy going down the tubes. We all this! Bashing him in the first month is simply not fair. Rome was not guilt in a day. Give the guy a chance. Support him. One man didn't cause our problems and one man can't get us out.

Good heavens, the amount of air time and print wasted on this know nothing, fat, drug addicted, intellectual cretin, Rush Limbaugh is the blogging version of funding the AIG bonuses and makes equally as much sense. Give it a rest. Rush Limbaugh is a poor excuse for a human being and even he knows it. It is time to stop talking about this pig-man.
