Those mean liberals are beating up on Rush Limbaugh! The horror! The horror!
This is, as Kos notes, the right-wing whine du jour, keyed by Karl Rove. I just wanted to beat Glenn Beck to the burst-of-tears thing ...
Digby sent me an e-mail saying that a reader from the Burnt Orange Report had mentioned doing a takeoff of the "Leave Britney Alone" video from Chris Crocker, this time about Rush Limbaugh.
Since Limbaugh is running the GOP now, I thought that he could use a little back up from us lefties, right? Michael Steele certainly hasn't helped the GOP or Limbaugh very much.
(John Amato is the founder of CrooksandLiars.com and the video was a cross post.)
