Michael Steele took a shot at Limbaugh, and now is getting taken to task by the RW as "out of touch," as not being what Republicans need, etc.

>>n 2008, the top priority for Democrats and their allies was tying George W. Bush around the Republican Party's neck. In 2009, Bush has been replaced by a figure that's arguably far more loathsome: a drug-addled shock-jock who's actively rooting for America's decline. The key difference? In 2008, Bush hid from public view. In 2009, Limbaugh can't wait to jump in front of the cameras and share his twisted ideology with anyone who'll listen. He is, in other words, making the Democrats' job easier.<< John - Another key difference is that in 2008, there was an election coming up. I'd like to know how the Democrats' job became trashing the Republican Party in 2009. I think Rahm Emanuel and the rest of the White House staff should has more important things to do. In fact, alienating Republicans is counter productive, if the goal is to make partisanship a thing of the past. I've got a better strategy for 2010. Let's take care of business in 2009. Then, when the election is approaching, we can start campaigning again. For now, there should be other priorities. - Allen PS: I also have a question for Michael Steele, who called Rush Limbaugh an "entertainer" and said that some of the things he saw are "ugly" and "divisive." My question is, why do some people find ugly and divisive comments so entertaining? That doesn't seem to exemplify a dedication to family values.
