Lotta Republicans gonna get their pee-pee's whacked
From Talking Points Memo:
Last night, TPMDC asked three separate House Republicans how they'd respond to Limbaugh, who's aggressively taken Barton's side in the BP flap. They all dismissed the conservative talk-show host out of hand.Rush gonna be mad. You don't want The Talking Pig mad at you.
NRCC Chair Pete Sessions brushed aside Limbaugh's and King's comments. "Those talk show hosts have hours to dissect it. I don't," Sessions said. "I would have said things differently [than Barton]."
What about Steve King? "I think everybody's entitled to their opinion, just like Rush Limbaugh," Sessions said.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) was more aggressive.
"I don't listen to Rush. He still thinks we [members of Congress] don't pay into Social Security," Issa said. "I don't listen to talk radio. I don't have the time."
"The reality is that Mr. Limbaugh, whether you like him or not, has nothing to do with this oil well being plugged or not. Has nothing to do with the skimmers being allowed or not. Has nothing to do with the lack of action," said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Limbaugh's home state of Florida, whose district borders the Gulf. "...that's the issue, not what Rush Limbaugh has to say."
