Steele to Rush: I'm sorryFrom Real Clear Politics:

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”
“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”...

I did not necessarily want to watch the SOTU speech. Trump is the worst, most corrupt president in my long lifetime (and that includes the Nixon years). But I thought, ok...in the spirit of civic engagement as a citizen in a free(?) country, and that I've watched at least a couple dozen SOTU speeches in the past, I'll watch President Stupid and listen to whatever lies and crazy crap he's gonna spew on the eve of his impeachment acquittal. If I can keep from getting too angry, it might be entertaining. And sure enough, for the first forty-five minutes, it did not disappoint.
But then he announced he was giving a Presidential Medal to Rush Limbaugh and I thought I was going to puke and punch the TV at the same time.
Rush Limbaugh?! THE racist misogynist homophobic bloviated gasbag who pioneered the radio format that Fox modeled their TV talk shows after? The prototype for Sean Hannity? The inspiration for Mike Pence and Mike Pompeo? The one who is personally responsible for so much of the division in this country - division between family members even? THAT half-addled bag of garbage in an extra large skin suit?
I was absolutely appalled. And all members of the Republican caucuses APPLAUDED. LOUDLY. THAT was when I turned off the TV and went to bed.
It was gross. Just indecent. I'm still flabbergasted.
These motherfkers know no shame whatsoever.
I'm betting if Orwell had written a story line like Limbaugh getting the medal of freedom he would have nixed it for being too on the nose for 1984. It's the kind of thing irony steps back from, shrugs and says, "That's it, I'm out". Words like 'disgusting' and 'vile' don't touch an iota of the horribleness of Limbaugh. My hope is that he has one of those end of life moments like Lee Atwater had and the horror of what he spent his life doing preys on the molecule of conscience he might still have somewhere.
