Sen. Claire McCaskill took a whack at her colleague, Sen. Marco Rubio on ABC's This Week when asked to respond to him calling Hillary Clinton "a leader from yesterday" during his own 2016 announcement earlier this week.

RADDATZ: Your reaction to that, Senator?

MCCASKILL: Listen, there is -- if you look at Marco Rubio's record, he took a principled, courageous stand on immigration reform and we passed a comprehensive bill in the Senate. And then the minute his pol -- party's base starting chewing on about it, the minute Rush Limbaugh criticized him, he folded like a cheap shotgun.

That's old politics. That's not what we need right now. That is the stalest trick in the book. That is shirking on your principles because of the political necessities of your party.

So I don't think that he necessarily represents some generational change. It sounds like, to me, old style politics.

1. fantastic! she did what dems should be doing every day- invoking limbaugh

he's the true leader of the republican teabaggers- he's still the point guard for the 400 blowtrolls dominating our politics with daily think tank scripted buzz.

every republican pol and their media hacks should be associated with limbaugh at every opportunity. they should all have RUSH tattoos on their foreheads

when dems sit in media and have to debate or converse with talking points repeaters they should just preface every response with something like- "well, that's what limbaugh says"

3. Claire sounds a little like Ann Richards, truth shot in a great one liners.
