Limbaugh Turns Virtue Into Vice

Bush Administration | GOP Culture of Corruption | Iraq War

Apparently, David Limbaugh believes the truth is like a well trained dog.  If you play around enough with it, you can teach it to stand on its head.

The fear among the opinion elite of the right is so palpable, you can almost see David sweating as he banged out his latest column.  In it, David attempts to turn virtue into vice and truth into fiction.

The target of David's latest screed is, as usual, Democrats in general, with particular emphasis on Senator Jay Rockefeller.

David attempts to turn Rockefeller into a partisan fanatic in one 800 word column, a feat Rockefeller has not performed himself in nearly 40 years of public life.

But by far the most bizarre aspect of Limbaugh's piece was when he lambasts Rockefeller for daring to speak the truth that President Bush made up his mind to go to war with Iraq, and then went out looking for reasons to justify it.

So far as I know, that is nearly universally recognized as the reality of the situation, that is, to everyone except David Limbaugh.

Can someone please provide an explanation, or any theory no matter how implausible, to justify such recklessly disloyal statements by a leading member of the Senate Intelligence Committee to foreign leaders? Why did this man undermine our president on foreign soil under color of government authority?

So in Limbaugh's mind, the betrayal came not from a President who misled the American people in the runup to the war, but from a statesman who dared to speak that truth about that President.

Hmmmm.  It seems to me that maybe David has been spending too much time standing on his head.
