This is anarchy! Over the course of the past few days, we've had two, count 'em, two Republican officials dare to suggest that Rush Limbaugh is not their conservative overlord.
First, from John Shadegg (R-VA):
SHADEGG: But Rush Limbaugh is a television personality. I don’t think he’s chairman of the Republican Party, last I looked.
And then, from Tom Price (R-GA):
SCARBOROUGH: Congressman, do you believe that Rush Limbaugh or Dick Cheney are better, quote — I’m just using terms that we hear every day on TV and radio — that they are somehow better Republicans than Colin Powell?
PRICE: No. Goodness.
That Shadegg and Price made the comments isn't the news here -- but the fact that they haven't backtracked and apologized for criticizing Limbaugh is. So, where did this new-found backbone come from?
Probably because they're not willing to be shown up by the 97-year old Roberta McCain (R-MOM):
I don't know what he is. But he does not represent the Republican Party that I belong to.
