Republican politician after Republican politician has been forced to kneel down and beg for forgiveness from the de-facto leader/Don Corleone of the party these days, Rush Limbaugh, after publicly saying things that the Dear Leader might find offensive.
Now, after giving an interview with CNN's Rick Sanchez and making the mistake of saying how he really feels about Rush---it's Tennessee Congressman Zach Wamp's turn for the walk of shame.
I find this comment from the article below, left from someone from Tennessee (the heart of 'Rush Country') to be particularly insightful--it provides a microcosm of why Republicans continue to get routed in national election after national election:
sgwhiteinfla | April 3rd, 2009 at 04:07 pmBeing that I am from Memphis TN and know how wingnutty especially the Eastern part of Tennessee is I can tell you that Wamp has two choices. One he can kiss the ring like the rest of his buddies and apologize, or he can get ready for life in the private sector. Of course there is another possibility. The GOP (if they were smart this would be what they actually did instead of just a possibility) might be sending him out to oppose Rush just to see whether his approval ratings go down. It would make sense being as how he isn’t going to run for reelection but instead for Gov. And if his numbers don’t fall it might embolden more in their ranks to step away from Rush.
.
Of course you know my money is on him kissing the ring though.
