Have You No Shame, Rush?

[Tennessee Gal]

Maureen Dowd's column makes several very valid points:

"Rush and Newt Gingrich can play the studs, marrying again and again until they find the perfect adoring young wife. But women pressing for health care rights are denigrated as sluts."

"Isn’t this the last guy who should be pointing fingers and accusing others of taking pills for recreational purposes?"

My favorite:

"Mitt Romney reacted to Limbaugh for days with craven silence before finally allowing on a rope line on Friday night that “it’s not the language I would have used.” Is there a right way to call a woman a slut?"

1. There's a rhetorical question if I ever heard one!

Shame? That's a concept reserved for the 'little people.'

2. I rarely like Dowd's columns.

But this one was quite good.

3. Said before, I almost feel sorry for Romney

because I don't think he really believes any of these extreme beliefs. He is a Mormon which is a problem for him on the Repuke religious right wingers and has to do what his handlers say. That is why when he speaks off the cuff, it shows his true colors, so to speak.

4. He certainly has foot in mouth disease. Or as the great Ann Richards put it .....

"Poor George, he can't help it. He was born with a silver foot in his mouth."

Just substitute "Mitt" for "George" and there you have it.

5. While I don't want Mittens anymore than GW as President

I think Bush didn't really believe all the crap that he said. If nothing else, Laura or Barbara probably would have slapped him upside the head if he really believed those things.
