We should be highlighting a very important disconnect between the two biggest mouths of the GOP. The Obama administration set this up well, and now they need to spike it home.
Sarah Palin:

RahmEmanuel= as shallow/narrowminded/political/irresponsible as they come,to falsely claim Barton's BP comment is "GOP philosophy"Rahm,u lie
Palin clearly believes Barton's comments are not "GOP philosophy."
Okay, fair enough. However, I'm sure this would make some think otherwise:
Rush Limbaugh:
http://thinkprogress.org/...
Joe Barton apologized to BP executives on behalf of himself, the American people, for the shakedown. … The United States government may as well be a branch of organized crime the way that it is being conducted and the way it’s doing business, and the way it’s looking out for itself and no one else. … Organized crime. It’s the closest thing I can think to analogize what’s happening here. And even these guys that are being shaken down, they’re paying protection money, and it isn’t enough. It isn’t enough.
I don't blame Emanuel for thinking Limbaugh's statements are an espousal of "GOP philosophy." The man is the de facto leader of the Republican Party. Can someone confirm with Limbaugh if he believes he is espousing GOP philosophy? If so, can we get Sarah Palin to confirm Limbaugh does not speak for the GOP? Let's settle this.
Thanks!
