Master of His Universe: Limbaugh: "If I Had Demanded Akin Drop Out, He'd Be Gone"

[kpete]

Limbaugh:

It is amazing the things that I say on this show that you in the audience never hear. I didn't issue a formal fatwa. Folks, if I had demanded Akin drop out, he'd be gone. If I had demanded that Akin quit the campaign, he'd be gone. I didn't do it and I didn't say that whatever Akin says is gonna dog Romney. Now, Kristol doesn't know it. He's just gotta respond to the question. Sarah Palin, by the way, is out positing the idea of a third party. She was on with Greta last night on the Fox News Channel, and Greta said, "I think it's only fair to take a few seconds and to gloat a little bit. You chose the candidate that the Republican Party did not choose in Missouri, Sarah Steelman. Now all the leaders in the country, Republican leaders, are trying to get Akin to go, so I think they probably love who you endorsed."

Sadly.

2. Screw the rush ...

The meat of this piece is what he says $i$ter $arah, the bible-$pice grifter is positing ... the idea of a third party (presumably more insane than the modern gop.

I say we all, as good Democrats, support $i$ter $arah in her efforts.

5. Yo, Rush, how can you fit a microphone up your ass when your head is taking up all the space?

6. I think this is probably true.

Scary, but I think true. The influence Rush wields over the Republican party can't be ignored.
