Last week, Maureen Dowd had fun enraging the Archbishop of New York. Now, she's going after Rush. Them's low hanging fruit for me, so I'm not going to discuss the substance of her column. I did love the writing. An excerpt:

As he and Sarah Palin conduct their auto-da-fé of moderate Republicans
— “Moderates by definition have no principles,” he told his radio

He’s also the mouth.

Limbaugh is
right that Democrats tend to dither too much. They’re always wondering
if they’re doing the right thing, indulging in on-the-one-hand,
on-the-other paralysis by analysis, seeing, as James Carville put it,
“six sides to the Pentagon.”
