Last week in an interview with the Kansas City Star editorial board, Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) risked alienating thousands of ditto-heads by giving his honest opinion of whether Rush Limbaugh was the "de facto leader of the GOP." "No, no, he's just an entertainer," Tiahrt said.
According to the Wichita Eagle (via Kansas Jackass), Tiahrt's office is now also rushing to apologize:
Asked about the episode and resulting Web buzz, Tiahrt spokesman Sam Sackett said Tiahrt was not speaking negatively about Limbaugh but was trying to defend him against the suggestion that Limbaugh could be blamed for the GOP’s woes. "The congressman believes Rush is a great leader of the conservative movement in America -- not a party leader responsible for election losses," Sackett told The Eagle editorial board. "Nothing the congressman said diminished the role Rush has played and continues to play in the conservative movement."
I was jokeing before but now it looks like Rush might want to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012. Now that would be very interesting. Yes we know GW is an alcoholic and druggie but I don't believe we've ever had a President who is an alcoholic, druggie, child molester and outwardly racist and dumb. Now that would be interesting and I wonder who would be his running Mate?
