A sphincter says what?

El Rushbo

David Kurtz's head is exploding over at TPM. It is over Time's Michael Scherer deciding that the whole "Rush Limbaugh is the defacto leader of the GOP" storyline is actually a creation of the Obama White House and is being force fed to the American people. This he concluded after reading a piece by Jonathon Martin in Politico that does not really support this hypothesis.

Like David, I'll point you to Greg Sargent's analysis.

Let's see if the media parrots this line now. I'm convinced 99% of the media would say "what" if you read the title of this post to them. They don't think before acting anymore than the last administration did.

Let me just point out that no one from the White House told Rush to say, "I hope he fails." not once, but twice. No one from the White House made El Rushbo the keynote speaker at CPAC. And no one told Michael Steele to formally anoint Rush as head puppeteer after originally trying assert himself as leader of the GOP. This line of attack has obviously been adopted by the White House but is isn't their creation. No one in politics, television, fiction or movies could write anything this good. :)

Comments welcome,

It's got electoral votes. It's what politicians crave.
