How could he be ashamed of his country? He makes a nine figure salary for the next five years! |
He's only ashamed that he has lost major advertising after the whole Sandra Fluke fiasco!
He and the conservative agitators in the media now have four more years of their sworn enemy President Barack Obama.
And to make matters worse, Republicans are fighting each other. Karl Rove want to purge the U.S. Senate of the most extreme members and stop extreme candidates from winning the primaries.
Fox News took a severe nosedive in the average demographic ratings. Although on the top of the cable news chain, the network is suffering from a lack of trust among the viewers.
Republicans are at an all time low among the public. The Republican Party has low approval among the public. They've managed to sink Congress to historical lows since retaking back the House of Representatives. If Congress fails to pass a bill to stop the sequester, Republicans will take the majority of the blame, endangering their slim majority in the House.
Republican governors Rick Scott (Florida), Scott Walker (Wisconsin), John Kasich (Ohio) and Nikki Haley (South Carolina) are giving up the fight on Obamacare. They're finally going to embrace the implications of the health care law.
President Barack Obama job approval is up and his policies on gun control, tax reform and spending are approved among the public. Although he has still lagging ratings in the handling of the economy, his popularity shot up on many social issues.
More Americans are tolerant of the LGBT community and are slowly supporting gay marriage.
S.E. Cupp, Joe Scarborough, David Brooks, and some members of Congress (who choose to stay anonymous) are urging the Republicans to stop taking orders from Rush Limbaugh, The Drudge Report and Fox News.
Republicans made fools of themselves over the "Friends of Hamas" endorsement of Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Breitbart, and others took the bait! There was a rumor of this so-called imaginary Gaza Strip organization embracing the nomination of Hagel. The nominee is a former Nebraska senator who happens to be a Republican.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) made a fool of himself also over a parody website making a news report about detainees of GITMO getting access to the G.I. bill.
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) couldn't get a person to endorse her repeal of Obamacare.
Newt Gingrich is saying that the Republicans are playing like that losing team going against the Harlem Globetrotters.
And to make it worse, many Republicans are slowly coming to terms that the president will get what he wants.
Yeah, Rush Limbaugh is ashamed of his country. People aren't listening to him. They can't stomach all that whining from the likes of him and those who want to be like him!
Eric Boehlert of Media Matters for America wrote recently about the conservative outrage model is running out of steam.
He wrote that being outraged, and especially being outraged about made-up claims, like Obama's imaginary "name-calling" on Monday, has become a signature of the far right movement over the last four years. It's also blossomed into Fox News' entire business model. Fox News makes a pile of profits each year overreacting to imagined Obama slights.
The question is, has the Fox/Rush Limbaugh/Drudge model of the phony Outrage Machine damaged the conservative movement? Is it standing in the way of Republican progress and electoral success?
Writing at his site RedState this week, conservative CNN commentator Erick Erickson beseeched fellow partisans to drop the outrage shtick and to move into more substantial areas of debate. "Conservatives, frankly, have become purveyors of outrage instead of preachers for a cause," he wrote. "Who the hell wants to listen to conservatives whining and moaning all the time about the outrage du jour?"
Erickson's point is dead on. The amount of time and energy conservatives devote to utterly trivial bouts of phony outrage now seem to consume the movement, or at least the media portion of it. But it's unlikely Fox News and its legion of copycat whiners in the press will heed Erickson's wise advice. They're too busy super-serving a radical niche and making money off the faux Outrage Machine.
