Stimulus Porkulus: What the Hell HaveWe Got Ourselves Intous?
PT 11: RUSH VS. OBAMA #4
Over the couple of weeks leading to Tax Day (April 15), I'm going to be dissecting the economy and the stimulus, budget and the various other issues that have unfolded between banks to AIG to tea parties all over the country! I had bookmarked a lot of articles since the end of January and it's interesting to read them with perspective and "read between the lines."
The Limbaugh Distraction Unravels...
Jonathan Martin at Politico gives us the scoop!
Who's behind the whole Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican party myth? None other than those two bumbling jackasses James Carville and Paul "The Forehead" Begala!
It's an apparent political gold mine and these two leprechauns were all over it! Martin describes it as such: "Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House."
Apparently from what Martin writes in his scoop, Carville and another strategist, Stanley Greenberg, were running polls last fall and discovered that Limbaugh wasn't so popular with America's youth. And after 30 shots of Cuervo they apparently swallowed the worm which led to an epiphany at the local 7-11 while on a snack run for Twizzlers, bean dip and Frito's! "Democrats realized they could roll out a new GOP bogeyman for the post-Bush era by turning to an old one in Limbaugh, a polarizing figure since he rose to prominence in the 1990s."
Martin calls it "Operation Rushbo." I call it Operation Jackass Twins.
Carville gleefully noted that Limbaugh's "positives for voters under 40 was 11 percent." And Begala calls Limbaugh's desire that The Big O's policies fail "the tripwire."
So Carville and Begala set out to rail against Limbaugh to anyone who would listen--like CNN viewers. And they giggled like little schoolgirls about their plan with Rahmbo, Axelrad, and McFibbs who all set out to echo the Jackass Twins with various sound bytes and conspiratorial quotes.
Begala even pledged to send Limbaugh some vitamins! “I want to send Rush a bottle of vitamins. We need him to stay healthy and loud and proud.”
Along with NERD HERD ads from Liberal groups with nothing better to do, the left-wing Media Matters began a website to track Rush Limbaugh and this group's president Eric Burns actually said with a straight face, “For a long time Americans haven’t really been aware that he’s so influential." Sure they didn't realize he was a popular voice in the Republican party...
Carville further admitted to the ruse when he noted “The television cameras just can’t stay away from him. Our strategy depends on him keeping talking, and I think we’re going to succeed.”
Really? I found it awfully strange that they so gleefully chatted about their little Limbaugh Snow Job so publicly! Don't ever put these guys in the Witness Protection Program--they wouldn't know when to keep a lid on it! Did they succeed or was it all just a distraction as most people said? Notice now that the stimulus porkulus has passed, no one's really talking about Limbaugh anymore. Coincidence? I think not...
