RUSH: “Santorum is getting creamed."

Rush Limbaugh said he “cringed” when Rick Santorum blurted out during Wednesday night’s Republican debate that “politics is a team sport” to explain his voting record – a line that his opponents have quickly seized on to paint the GOP candidate as a clear-cut Washington insider.

“Santorum is getting creamed. I cringed when I heard him say this. Santorum is getting creamed for the team player comment,” Limbaugh said on his radio show Thursday. “I heard it, I looked at my wife]Kathryn, and I said, ‘There’s going to be hell to pay for that one,’ because I knew that Santorum opponents, both from the left and right, were going to harp on it.”

Unless Rush was referring to the mythical "left" of the Republican party, we on the left aren't going to utter a peep about Santorum's alleged gaffe about politics being a team sport. For one, that's what we think. Nobody has a corner on all information and wisdom, so in formulating political policy, it's far better to have a team to consult than to go it alone.

Now, as for the lizard-brained jerks on the right, their cherished narrative of the Strong Man going it alone will not brook Santorum's heresy. Santorum will indeed get cream all over himself, but it will come exclusively from you, Rush, and your ilk.

Or that she will even remain in the same room with him for that matter.

It must be in her contract.

does not sound good at all.

Rush is correct, for republicans, politics is not a team sport, it is blood sport.
