      <![CDATA[Regarding Rush and Republicans vis-a-vis Democrats: To me, amusingly analogous to LBJ and J Edgar when Johnson lifted Hoover's required retirement saying, &ldquo;I'd rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in.&rdquo; Seems to me to be alike-to Republican's position with brother Rush. As for the Democrats, Rush seems to be not only pissing on them, but pissing them off so much they feel compelled to talk about him&mdash;thus keeping the amusement level, and Rush's demographics at an equally compelling level.<br />
As for the spending Gil: I'll just bet the Obama administration turns to LBJ's technique for funding his grandiose social schemes as well.

      <![CDATA["How can you beat their one-note response -- tax cuts-- to everything right now? That stuff has become some fabulous unintentional comedy"<br />
As opposed to you one-note leftists who claim more government spending is the ticket - despite being completely incapable of ever proving it's worked at any time in the past.<br />
I'm still waitng for you to explain how the government taking someone's money to spend on what Democrat politicians want to spend it on does anything more for the economy than refraining from doing so and letting the person who actually earned the money spend it on what he or she wants to.

      <![CDATA[Pete, you ignorant slut.<br />
But seriously, I don't think anyone's getting sidetracked. I don't think politicians are expending that much energy on it, and it's mostly the spinmeisters at the reins.<br />
But I do agree that it might be better to just let Republicans' imbecility speak for itself than to constantly point it out.

But we get endless satisfaction here at the Scene reading comments on our website from people who claim they don't like to read the Scene.<br />
And how do you know your bird isn't reading the Scene?

      <![CDATA[Pete, I agree there are more important things to talk about, and as to the question of whether focusing on the Rush/Republican equation is an effective strategy for Dems, I'm on the fence.<br />
Still, to suggest that this is anything like the Ayers situation doesn't hold water. First, Rush gave a keynote address at CPAC, a clear sign that he's a mover and shaker on the right.
