"I was a little surprised at the speed in which Mr. Steele, the head of the RNC, apologized to the head of the Republican Party."
At some point soon, the establishment press has to ask the question: Why? Why are the White House and liberals so anxious to paint the Republican Party with the Limbaugh stink -- to inextricably link Republican politicians with this bastard? There's more to this than the "fail" remarks. There's a lengthy Limbaugh record of awfulness and I can't imagine it not coming up after the "fail" thing is played.
When and if we get to this layer of the discussion, the Republicans are screwed. They'll have to respond to questions about McNabb and Parkinson's and Oxycontin, and they'll be so twisted around themselves not knowing whether to distance themselves from those controversies or to stand arm-in-arm with their leader for fear of radio retribution. Can't wait.
