The Limbaugh insurgency

Wednesday, 4th March 2009

Rod Dreher can't believe his ears:

Think of it! The head of the Republican Party apologized to a talk radio host for uttering a mild criticism of him. This must be the End Times, because there are signs and wonders all over the damn place. If I'm Barack Obama, I'm opening a bottle of Champagne in the Oval Office tonight with Rahm Emanuel and toasting to Rush's long life. And taking turns reading aloud from John Derbyshire's AmCon piece about how talk radio is ruining the right.
More on that theme from BO's campaigner manager, David Plouffe:
The source of Obama's advantage is critical: independent voters, who give the president high marks on his handling of the economy and his job overall... If the GOP sticks with its strategy of failure... we may find out what it means for a political party to hit rock bottom.
