I was pondering if I can ever remember a greater political disaster in my lifetime,” Rush Limbaugh

Among commentators on the right, the reaction has been less driven by despair than by anger. In heated language on talk radio and on conservative blogs, many spoke of a winning if difficult strategy sabotaged in the end by weak-willed leadership.

“I was thinking about this last night, too, while I was pondering if I can ever remember a greater political disaster in my lifetime,” Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday on his radio show, “if I could ever remember a time when a political party just made a decision not to exist for all intents and purposes.”

What about starting a war on a lie and the cost of it putting the country in deep debt. Maybe Rush was too drugged up to notice that disaster.

That will help him "absorb" the impact him and his minions have had on the civilized world.

You two think you have something intelligent to promote and the two of you believe you are relevant, yet no one in America really wants to listen to the drivel anymore.
Hurts, don't it?
