The Miseducation of Rush
Today, Limbaugh’s spin on the election results and Rumsfeld’s departure involves admitting he’s been lying for partisan gain:
….I got, “Boy, Rush, I wouldn’t want to be you tomorrow! Boy, I wouldn’t want to have to do your show! Oh-ho. I’m so glad I’m not you.” Well, folks, I love being me. (I can’t be anybody [...]
What We’ve Won
The chance to undo some of the damage done by a decade of unfettered Republican legislation.
