Feeling Done With That

I get that most reasonable people in the United States see Rush Limbaugh as, at best, divisive and, at worst, a flabby prick. (Actually, it can get worse than "flabby prick," and my own opinion lies somewhere between "Satan's excrement" and "walking abortion.")

So I understand all of the Democratic Party nonsense about referring to Rush as the de facto head of the Republican Party. Marginalize the opposition. Yeah, it's good politics. I get it.

It's also tiresome. I mean, shit, Democrats... We've got the worst economy ever, wars around the world, health care crises, etc., etc., etc. And yes, our current president seems to be addressing these issues seriously and staying above the Silly.

During the Bush administration, I got myself on many, many email lists for many, many progressive organizations (and every wing of the Democratic Party) advocating on behalf of terrific issues.

Now a bunch of them are asking me to sign petitions about Rush Limbaugh.

Really? This is what's important? Come on, people. There's a goddamned opportunity to make some real difference on a whole host of issues, and you're spending your valuable resources standing up to Rush Limbaugh?

You're marginalizing yourself, Left. Knock it off.
