From the plum and the Grand Wizard Rush Limbaugh

Rush hammered Powell as "just another liberal," reiterated his claim that Powell’s endorsement of Obama was about "race," and suggested Powell should leave the GOP and just "become another Democrat."
Rush was responding to some sharp criticism Powell lodged against him Monday. In a speech to corporate executives, Powell claimed that "the Republican Party is in deep trouble" and directly blamed Rush, saying that the talk show host "diminishes the party" and corrupts our public life with "a kind of nastiness that we would be better to do without."
The drug addict is right for once, you should become a democrat. Secretary Powell, I will be the first Democrat to welcome you.
I know you have a scar on your record with the Iraq war and what happened there. But, like all good Americans, we move forward, and in my humble opinion, your endorsement of candidate Obama was a the first step in forgiveness. You articulated the feeling of many independents (and republicans) with your statements on candidate Obama. I am sure you are not disappointed in what you see so far.
Forget the remenants of the republican party. Finish your journey away from the dark side and join a party that has voices for many.
Fight their ignorance with another bold action.
Become a democrat.
We welcome you.
The optics of this one are not good: The de facto leader of the GOP (according to Dems and some in the media) is reiterating his claim that a high profile black Republican and decorated military man’s endorsement of the country’s first black president was only about race. And that he should leave the party.
