In case you've been in a cave and missed it, Rush Limbaugh delivered The Speech at CPAC's closing on Saturday. THE Speech that our leadership Republican sissies (well, not the Republicans in the HOUSE, who voted three times against Obama's plan to destroy our economy (he's succeeding), led by putative Republican Leader Michael Steele (or so he says), have since tried to keep at arm's length. The problem with that is, as usual, RUSH IS RIGHT.

Quickly, now: Rush states, again and correctly, that Obama's failed economic policies should, well, fail, for the sake of the nation. Again, the media and the left (same thing, really) claim that Rush wants Obama, personally, to fail (if Obama does fail, personally, and I don't see how, given his marital circumstance, he could avoid failing; for that, there's Viagra.. ).

Michael Steele, Saturday night on one of those CNN shows, says "I'm the de facto leader of the Republican Party." And "Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh, the whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it's incendiary, yes, it's ugly --" We've already spoken of Ugly, Michael.

Of course, Rush has perfect rebuttal, yesterday, on his show...

A Few Words for Michael Steele

Okay, so I am an entertainer, and I have 20 million listeners, 22 million listeners because of my great song-and-dance routines here. Yes, said Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, I'm incendiary, and yes, it's ugly. Michael Steele, you are head of the RNC. You are not head of the Republican Party. Tens of millions of conservatives and Republicans have nothing to do with the RNC and right now they want nothing to do with it, and when you call them asking them for money, they hang up on you. I hope that changes. I hope the RNC will get its act together. I hope the RNC chairman will realize he's not a talking head pundit, that he is supposed to be working on the grassroots and rebuilding it, and maybe doing something about our open primary system and fixing it so that Democrats do not nominate our candidates. It's time, Mr. Steele, for you to go behind the scenes and start doing the work that you were elected to do instead of trying to be some talking head media star, which you're having a tough time pulling off. I hope you figure out how to run a primary system. But it seems to me that it's Michael Steele who is off to a shaky start.

...

Mr. Steele, your spokesman sounds like the RNC wants 'em to fail, to me. You're opposing 'em. You say the American people are growing weary of it, getting suspicious of it. But it's not just Pelosi's spending. It's Obama's. Where are your guts? Why can't you tie Obama to these policies? They're his! Where are your guts?

And he puts that certain skewer right into Mr. Steele's nethers. Right where Steele deserves it.

Because it's the gutless Republicans who have caused this nation's nightmares. By nominating a fool like McCain. By trying to be chummy with the Enemy, the Left: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, that crew of nation wreckers. We knew Obama wanted CHANGE, he said so. CHANGE, as defined by Obama, was not a direction or a magnitude, but a general whimsical word that hid his true nature: to drive the U.S. to a Socialist - European model. A model that's contrary to our Constitution.

We are going down, folks. What we were is very close to being relegated to history. Even though it's spearheaded by those on the left, there's plenty of blame to spread to Republicans, who've by inaction and by incorrect action have enabled our enemies.

Bobby Jindal makes up for his lackluster speech (you know, the one following Obama’s undefined collective House-Senate BJ last week..)

Morrissey finally gets it right. The Country is not Obama. If Obama fails, the Country will carry on. If Obama succeeds, that’s when the Country will fail.
