Not Good Enough, Rush. Not Good Enough At All

Frum's Bullshit-Detector is pinned

Again, one of my conservative heroes steps up to the plate. He also hits it out of the park.

Regarding Rush's phony "apology," David Frum gives what may be the most dignified smackdown in recent political history.

He has four points over at CNN regarding the Limbaugh/Fluke spectacle that all ring true:

"Point 1: Even by the rough standards of cable/talk radio/digital talk, Limbaugh's verbal abuse of Sandra Fluke set a new kind of low. I can't recall anything as brutal, ugly and deliberate ever being said by such a prominent person and so emphatically repeated. This was not a case of a bad "word choice." It was a brutally sexualized accusation, against a specific person, prolonged over three days.

Class Warfare?

Poor Rep. John Flemming (R-LA) is barely getting by. After "feeding" and taking care of his family, he only has about four hundred thousand dollars a year left over from his businesses. He just can't "create jobs" on that net profit. Mind you, he runs UPS stores and Subway sandwich franchises. Those workers are at or even slightly above the minimum wage.

I am sure you are weeping at the mere thought of his struggle.

Make no mistake, Rep. Darrel Issa (R-CA) is still a dishonest, manipulating thug. The far right base of the Republican party has responded to his extremism over the last 2 years by investing in him tremendous support.

With the hope that he not merely continue to articulate their ignorant rage against Barack Obama, but might now do real violence to the administration, they have helped elevate him to the highly coveted position of Chairmen of The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

It now seems that Rep. Issa may be beginning to realize that there is a vast difference between raising money from destructive corporations, racists and neo-fascists and advancing their agenda in government itself. Before the 112th Congress was even sworn in this week, he began stumbling over his past proclamations and walking back his rhetoric. He continued his shifty dance in an interview with John King over at CNN. King is to be commended. He did a bang up job taking Rep. Issa down another notch.
