If there was any doubt who the de facto leader of the GOP is

1st Steele plays hardass and goes after Rush on CNN:

“Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh’s whole thing is entertainment. Yes, it is incendiary. Yes, it is ugly.”

…but then when Rush goes after Steele:

So Steele bows down to the RushMan:

“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh. I was maybe a little bit inarticulate … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

Don’t mess with the RushMan.

he prefers being call “el Rushbo”.

Having a radio host with no accountability whose sole interest is ratings as your leader is just sad. The Republican party is flailing away with no direction.

Hey Reparto, Please change your name to Retardo! Let me guess you probably also think that Sharpton is the defacto leader of the dems?

It amazes me how you so consistently raise the level of discourse in this forum. Your tact, maturity, and nuanced grasp of the issues are fine examples for the rest of us to follow.

Hey gbot, call it both ways…In the past week, I’ve been called a racist, homofob, bigot, associated with the KKK, and referenced as fat. Of which none even remotely apply. So in the entire scheme oif things I’ve been rather civil.

am I to assume that you have leveled the same accusations at Yahey?

Accusations? I was being complimentary! Sheesh! Reparto —> Retardo… that’s genius! I just wish I could have come up with those kinds of verbal barbs when I was in grade 4.

What is a homofob? Is that a keyfob for gays and lesbians? Is it standard issue on VW Jetta’s and Subaru Outbacks, the preferred vehicles of the homos? Just wondering.

Rush is assuming the defacto leadership because there is no leadership at this point. Zero zip nadda. Rush is not a leader but neither is Steele.

As the leader of the GOP Rush Limboss does have a powerful rhythm to his leadership style:

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Obama Admin. is willing to trade barbs with Limbaugh. They’d like nothing more than to help Rush maintain his GOP eadership position, as defacto as it is. Can you think of anyone more divisive?
