Rush Limbaugh, leader the of National Republican Party, blames President Obama for pushing Gov. Sanford to edge — “it’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under”.
h/t again to Ed Brayton’s Dispatches from the Culture Wars.
Wow….saying there are frustrated americans at Obama is one thing, but a Gov. going to Argentina for a bang session is just…wow.
And they wonder why everyone is laughing at them.
This is just depressing.
Rush isn’t even especially original at this.
Barack Obama Stole Your New Bicycle (hit refresh a few times to see the joke.)
Obama became President on January 20, 2009. Sanford’s affair began nearly a year (or more) before that.
But facts are not important to Republicans, and neither is taking responsibility for their own actions.
In fairness to Rush, that is not what he said. Listen to it. He was referring to the frustration that led him to just jet out of country without the protocols that he went through 100 times before not the affair. He referenced the fact that the paper had the emails.
It was obvious that the governor took his defeat hard. The staff said that.
I don’t know that it is fair to say that it is President Obama’s fault. He is just doing what he promised to do. I am NOT going there.
All I am saying is that you are mistaken in your characterization of his remarks DD.
David,
I’m getting concerned about you! I’m being a concern troll here.
It is a gorgeous day outside. There’s a ton of things you could be doing that have to be more fun than showing up here to natter with us liberals.
Get out from in front of your computer and go have some fun.
Oh, ok, so the Governor going AWOL and neglecting his own duties is Obama’s fault. My comments stand.
My comments do too DD.
Hey, I do agree that only one man is at fault. We used to call it personal responsibility.
The sheer scope of what you don’t know never ceases to amaze me, David. Call this a hunch, but I think you know exactly whether or not it’s fair to say.
I was just being polite to the titular head of the party. See the comment before yours.
Hee hee, head of the Republican Party.
Is the Republican Party reduced to the party of whining victims? We don’t focus on Rush because we are scared of him. We look at Rush because he’s a joke, yet so influential in the Republican Party. In a way I think he’s a genius, he definitely knows what his audience wants to hear. But telling people that it’s not their fault, it’s their perceived enemy’s fault does not lead to a governing strategy.
Speaking of Sanford, did you catch the story on Jenny Sanford?
So, Sanford really wasn’t trying to save his marriage. Another juicy revelation is the the emails leaked to The State were from Sanford’s girlfriend’s other boyfriend.
