The de facto head of the Republican party bloviated his way into the spotlight again yesterday by accusing Democrats of being racist, while demonstrating by his bigotry that he is the racist in this story.
Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh accused House Democratic leaders of racism today, for attempting to squeeze Jim Clyburn (the highest ranking African-American congressman in history) out of party leadership… only to then suggest that Clyburn would be a good fit for a new position as Nancy Pelosi’s chauffeur…
…If Clyburn loses his race to be Democratic whip, he’ll either have to drop out of party leadership, or move into a lower-ranking leadership position, with fewer perks. Limbaugh claimed that this supposed avarice is what’s animating Clyburn’s fight to stay in leadership… and then noted that Clyburn could keep his car if he was willing to drive around the party’s white leader.
"Clyburn’s new position: driving Ms. Nancy," Limbaugh said. "He’s not in the back of the bus, he’s in the driver’s seat. And she’s in the back of the car being chauffeured."… [emphasis added]

Race has nothing to do with this. Assuming that Pelosi becomes the mew minority leader, Hoyer wants to move down to Whip replacing Clyburn. Personally, I prefer Clyburn.
Why does Rush act in such an obscene manner? The Republican base loves it!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Just another chickenhawk chucking guano at people who at the very least try (and in pelosi and clyburns case succeeded in passing over 450 bills to the senate) to do what they think is right, But if Pelosi’s gratest attribute as minority leader is as a fundraiser…sorry i really don’t give a crap about who gets what office or what perk.
But Limbaugh should be investigated for fomenting and displaying hate speech.
The only reason it matters to me, Mark, is that it’s the Whip’s job to count votes and twist arms. I think Clyburne would twist in a more progressive direction than Hoyer.
Mr. Limbaugh, if you don’t have something halfway intelligent to contribute to the public discourse, please sit down.
His ass won’t fit in the chair. 😈
Accomplishment once agian. Hats off Rushbo…. he has been in the radio industry for many years and can continue to put out funny stuff, yet the Dems are soooo bitter….they can’t deal with funny stuff. We Americans out here enjoy Rush tremendously, along with Media that see “Voters” matter. Come on, bring on 2012 ! We are ready.
