Limbaugh blasts Steele, the GOP - Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com

Last night, I commented on efforts by the Democratic Party to tie Limbaugh to the Republican Party.

I thought that it was a good move, and now it appears that republicans are doing their level best to reinforce that meme.

Michael Steele makes some fairly innocuous comments about Limbaugh not being a leader of the Republican Party, just an entertainer (vid), and then goes on a rant against Michael Steele, suggesting that people should not give to the RNC, and a few hours later, we have a Steele giving yet another Stalin show trial Mea Culpa.

Tim Kaine was on it like white on rice

'I was briefly encouraged by the courageous comments made my counterpart in the Republican Party over the weekend challenging Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party and referring to his show as 'incendiary' and 'ugly.' However, Chairman Steele's reversal this evening and his apology to Limbaugh proves the unfortunate point that Limbaugh is the leading force behind the Republican Party, its politics and its obstruction of President Obama's agenda in Washington. Just this weekend, Rush Limbaugh repeated his claim that he is rooting for the President to fail. The last time Rush Limbaugh said he wanted the President to fail, virtually every single Republican in Congress followed his lead and voted against the President's plan to create or save 3.5 million jobs.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.
