After this post…

I concede I couldn’t make it through all of Limbaugh’s tirade (it was Castro-esque in its length, bombast and reception).

Amazing Rush Limbaugh the one who opposes Castro is castro-esque and the guy who wants to deal with Castro and communist Cuba appeals to the “conservative” Sullivan.

Limbaugh takes us right back to the 1980s and 1990s – the old red-blue paradigm that has led to massive GOP losses. But Obama has reframed his opponents as the vested interests resisting reform.

Takes us back to the 80’s and 90’s when Reagan won landslides and a congress that ran on the contract with America ended 50 years of Democratic rule, this is a bad thing?

You know Andrew was one of the first blogs that I ever read, there was a time when I wouldn’t miss him daily. Now I just check occasionally to see how far he’s fallen or in moments like today to see him prove that he if he is going to hit the conservatism he still claims to own.

He is the neo-liberal, to paraphrase Rush he is now the favorite example of a conservative for liberals because he still uses the name but only hits us. It’s McCain before he won the nomination all over again.

My Thoughts on Rush’s Speech…

I thought it was pretty solid, it was an unafraid speech clearing saying what he thought and why he thought it. It was a speech that displayed no confidence in the Obama Administration while full of confidence in America.

Although he didn’t know it CNN carried the speech. The twitter feedback on CNN was uniformly negative as all the conservatives were watching it on Fox. They might have figured calling him over the line and divisive would allow them to cancel his message while getting the ratings from showing him.

What they did instead is give him exposure to a whole different audience. Doctrine liberals will still remain what they are and the CNN logon people were beside themselves, but tens of thousands of people who likely never heard him talk before will hear this speech and decide that they have been fed a bill of goods concerning him.

The Sunday shows will be very interesting tomorrow.

Update: Hot air has the speech
