The Devil's Advocate
Politics used to be so boring. There was the GOP who knew how to win elections but did not know how to govern, and the Dems who did not even know how to win elections. Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rove and Limbaugh and Colter. (shudder) And on the other side, Gore and Dean and Edwards and Kerry... (snore)
Now, we have Obama in the White House, a man who clearly knows how to win elections and get people mobilized. And he's dissing the Dem old timers like Dean. (Passed him up twice for Secretary of Health.)
And on the other side, we have the GOP's party chair, Steele, taking on Rush Limbaugh.
What do folks make of this?

Steele-Limbaugh Spat: A Battle For GOP's Future? : NPR"Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer," Steele said during an interview Saturday night with CNN's D.L. Hughley. He then referred to the right-wing hero's popular radio talk show as "incendiary" and "ugly."
And when Hughley referred to Limbaugh as the "de facto leader of the Republican Party," a narrative that gleeful Democrats have been promoting for weeks, Steele bristled.
"No he's not," he said. "I'm the de facto leader of the Republican Party."
During his program Monday, Limbaugh, who used a nearly 1 1/2-hour speech before conservative activists in Washington Saturday to assert that Republicans should want Obama to fail, blasted back.
