Picking a fight with Limbaugh....
Just a little notice here that the Obama folks may be up to something in all the Rush Limbaugh back and forth. This is starting to look alot like the foundation of the Republicans "liberal villain" fear politics, "party of Pelosi....," etc.
The beauty of this is that Limbaugh, for his own economic reasons, can't afford to not respond. So, we end up with an Obama administration carrying on a fight with "the right" personified by the extreme position of a Limbaugh.
So, pick a side. The extremely popular President or a radio host listened to by the furthest 15% of the country.
Pretty smart if they can win it.
Update: Democracy Corps has polling showing Limbaugh favorability polling about at the Bush level.

My understanding is that President Obama made whatever comments he made, in private conversations with Republicans.... Not in a press conference. So it may be Republicans and the media that are giving this "fight" legs.
Still, it's funny to see Republicans circle around the bigoted asshole. Keep it up. Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.

Yeah, because of their constituencies, the Republicans are tied to him. They can't insult Limbaugh.
And, my impression is that this is being leaked out through staff. Obama made the one comment, but it's staying alive.
