"PLAYING WITH FIRE" - HEARTLESS, BRAINLESS, A LIFE WASTED LISTENING TO RUSH

Here's Bob Herbert in today's NY Times:

"It’s been clear for years that the G.O.P. is a party without a heart. But its pointless obstructionism, its overall lack of any serious response to what is a clear national economic emergency, seems to indicate it’s also a party without a brain. Republicans in Washington have behaved like a milling crowd standing in the way of firefighters trying to respond to a devastating blaze. I thought of all the guys who used to listen to Rush Limbaugh while driving to or from work but are now tuning in from their living rooms because the benefits of the G.O.P.’s right-wing, tax-cutting ideology never trickled down to them and they are now jobless."
