Another Republican Crawls Back to Fat Limbaugh

A week or so ago Rep. Todd Tiahrt, Republican from Kansas, declared in an interview with a Kansas City newspaper that Rush Limbaugh was not the leader of the Republican Party. "No, no, he's just an entertainer," Tiahrt said. This week after witnessing the attention and backsliding from grace that had resulted from calling der Führer an "entertainer," Tiahrt's office clarified that "Rush is a great leader of the conservative movement in America -- not a party leader responsible for election losses." Of course the drug-addicted Limbaugh isn't responsible for election losses, no dictator is. If Rush had his way there would not be a Democratic ballot, only a one party Republican system. It's just when you run someone against a Limbaugh-led Republican do they lose.

Tiahrt's spokesman also went on to say "[n]othing the congressman said diminished the role Rush has played and continues to play in the conservative movement." Fantasie-Welt, mein lieber Führer.
