Not your best idea, El Rushbo

-- In the "heavy sigh" department: Rush Limbaugh, the bombastic bumpkin of talk radio, has again created a stir by insinuating that the White House has an alterior motive to be front and center on the Aid to Haiti crisis -- specifically, a political motive for the current administration and the Democratic Party. I have read articles and heard soundbites from both sides, and I have yet to find anyone that supports Limbaugh's position. As a 30-yr registered Republican, I can honestly say that Rush does NOT speak for me or for my fellow conservatives, and he remains more of a problem than Sarah Palin because of his ability to express his opinion to millions of unsuspecting (and unfortunately highly gullible) listeners. At least with Palin, you pretty much know where you stand: she's likeable but lightweight, sassy but lacking in substance, and this is ok for the most part because she's eager to conform to the needs of the many if it suits her best interests. Which is nothing different from ANY other politician, living or dead, and anyone that disagrees has not taken the time or energy to research American political history. Seriously, Rush, what crisis has not been used for political motivation? We saw a ton of it during the POTUS '08 campaign with the Republicans that used their performance after 9/11 as a litmus test of their ability to handle crisis intervention. Same with the Dems in Congress that showed their willingness to work in bi-partisan effort to help Americans in need and come together in a show of force to initiate the war agenda. Rush must either be bored or negatively reacting to his medications, and I would strongly suggest that he team with a partner that may help to check him from time to time so that he can focus on issues that create a net benefit for all Americans, and distance himself from caustic topics that do nothing but substantiate our weak opinion of him as a spokesman for conservative causes.
