Bobby Jindal: I'm Glad Steele Apologized To Rush
Jindal: I'm Glad Steele Apologized To Rush

Rush Limbaugh may insist that he is not, as others have suggested, the head of the Republican Party. But all of the GOP's key players are kissing his proverbial ring in the aftermath of his latest anti-Obama episode and intra-party squabble.

The most recent offering of support came from Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal who on Monday night said that he was glad to see RNC Chairman Michael Steele apologize to Limbaugh after Steele had called the conservative talk show host's program "incendiary" and "ugly."

"I'm glad he apologized," said Jindal, appearing on CNN's Larry King Live. "I think the chairman is a breath of fresh air for the party. As I said before I think Rush is a leader for many conservatives and says things that people are concerned about."

That Jindal, the Republican Party's up-and-coming voice, would side with Rush wasn't entirely surprising. Steele himself had done as much only a few hours earlier. Speaking to Politico roughly one day after he had insisted that Limbaugh was not the head of the Republican Party but merely an "entertainer," the RNC chair apologized for his "inaccurate" remarks.

"I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren't what I was thinking," Steele said in an interview with Politico. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people ... want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he's not."

10. Seems like he always had been. There was a topic when he had his speech about
how close their relationship was. Nothing sexual, just mutual friendship and regard.

3. Rush is a "leader"
It amazes me that Republicans constantly redefine this term. Bush was apparently a leader, yet no one would follow him unless their patriotism was questioned(especially after Iraq).

5. Steele: "There was no attempt on my part to diminish his (Limbaugh's) voice or his leadership."
So now both Jindal & Steele site Limbaugh's "leadership"- amazing.

12. OK, so Limpballs is the de facto leader of the Repugs...
Regardless of who's the leader, is it in the Repuglican "bylaws" that they all must agree, 100% ENTIRELY on EVERYTHING? I mean, as a species, aren't we a sum of individual parts and our individuality is what makes us whole?

I guess I'm getting a little too philosophical but it seems that part of the "R's" biggest problem, and a component of their downfall, is this irrefutable edict for them to continue marching lock-step with Grand Po Ba happens to be in charge. 'It doesn't matter that said GPB is dead wrong, just make sure you agree. It shows everyone that we're united for "The Cause".' I guess they'll continue to do this until they're extinct.

Oh well...

14. Great news, actually.
The so-called rising star of the party is making an asshole out of himself. Sounds like another win for us in 2012. :)

so the masses can properly scrape and bow when they bring offerings of pain pills and Viagra to atone for their words.

22. So that means jindal and steele
want "Obama and our country to fail" like rush has brayed.

Michael Steele had a moment of clarity when he called rush ugly and incendiary and then he had to bite his tongue and go apologize with his tail between his legs.
