RNC's Steele Goes Soft On Rush

Michael Steele, when CNN's D.L. Hughley referred to radio host Rush Limbaugh as "the de facto leader of the Republican party" shot back, "No he's not. I'm the de facto leader of the Republican party,"

Steele went on to say Rush is a mere "entertainer" whose show is "incendiary" and "ugly."

A mere 12 hours later and it's "kiss the ring" time:

Michael Steele has apologized to Rush Limbaugh for referring to him as an "entertainer" who can be "ugly" and "incendiary," Mike Allen reports.

"My intent was not to go after Rush - I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh," Steele said. "I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. ... There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership."

You be da bitch, Michael. You be da bitch. [said in female Minnesotan accent]

It's a great system where an unelected drug addict gets to influence and entire political party. This will look so amazing in the history books when the next generation is reading about conservative leadership in the "extict species" section.

Rush keeps the Republican base happy. They love him. They're lacking the intelligence to understand the world as it is. Their fear-based culture war style of politics will ensure a limited role in really shaping the future. They have a childlike approach to complex problems. They don't realize how much they are getting played by their own leaders. But they're happy.

Ignorance is bliss.
