This is pathetic....Part I:
Michael Steele vs. Rush Limbaugh, steel cage match
5:14 pm March 2, 2009, by Jay
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, rejecting an observation that Rush Limbaugh had become the de factor leader of the Republican Party and insisting that he, Steele, led the party:
“He’s an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is just entertainment. Yes, it’s incendiary. Yes, it’s ugly.”
To which Limbaugh responds (in only a portion of of his rant):
“I’m not in charge of the Republican Party, and I don’t want to be. I would be embarrassed to say that I’m in charge of the Republican Party in a sad-sack state that it’s in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it’s in, I would quit. I might get out the hari-kari knife…
When you send those fundraising requests out, Mr. Steele, make sure you say, we — we — we want Obama to succeed. So people understand your compassion. Republicans, conservatives are sick and tired of being talked down to, sick and tired of being lectured to. And until you show some understanding and respect for who they are, you’re going to have a tough time rebuilding your party.”
