Tim Dickinson of Rolling Stone, very representative of the Left, still doesn't get it. In a brief post (“The GOP Adrift”) runs down the Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele controversy.
Given that the Dow once again plummeted into D’oh! territory today, the power struggle between Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele seems a frivolous side show. But in the end, Steele bowed to Limbaugh, affirming Rush’s preeminence as the angry voice of the party.
I’m not sure the Democrats can contain their glee at this state of affairs.
Without [George W. Bush], the Democrats showed some sign of fracturing. But the party’s leadership has neatly been able to pivot from the message, We’re not Bush, to the message We’re not Rush.
It’s the same damn thing, except that Rush is more deeply unpopular with the nation’s women voters.
