To my eyes, the big story today is not Senator Allen’s defeat. He did that to himself, and we all saw that coming. Even the momentum of Democratic victory is only a small story. While the ousting of Rummy is welcome, it too is small compared to today’s spewing from Rush Limbaugh. It seems Oxycontin-boy feels the need to both cover his prodigious ass and to distance himself from the losing party.  I’m sure the following snippet is being echoed everywhere else, so why not here?

Now, I mentioned to you at the conclusion of the previous hour that people have been asking me how I feel all night long. I got, "Boy, Rush, I wouldn’t want to be you tomorrow! Boy, I wouldn’t want to have to do your show! Oh-ho. I’m so glad I’m not you." Well, folks, I love being me. (I can’t be anybody else, so I’m stuck with it.) The way I feel is this: I feel liberated, and I’m going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don’t think deserve having their water carried. Now, you might say, "Well, why have you been doing it?" Because the stakes are high. Even though the Republican Party let us down, to me they represent a far better future for my beliefs and therefore the country’s than the Democrat Party and liberalism does.

What? Is he Aquarian? Water-boy to the stars? No. What he is admitting to is to being a political hack who’ll say anything to promote Lies, Injustice and the Conservative Agenda (r). Sore loser! I’d go on, but Huffington Post has bettered me on this. Not that that’s so difficult…

The really twisted part is that Rush will probably keep his job, continue his verbal vomit, and most of his listeners won’t care that he has - by his own admission - assassinated his credibility. At least we can be fairly sure Rummy won’t be back.
