revenge of the nerd

On Thursday's "Hardball," Air America president Mark Green was noting that George W.(orst president ever) Bush didn't care about the Republican "base" getting upset in the matter of "immigration reform" because he wasn't seeking to be re-elected. Mr. Green carefully explained that because of that convergence of events, that "Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant" in the sense that even though he has a huge radio audience, it only represents the hardcore base constituency of the Republican party and was not a factor in this decision.

Never one to run away from a fight, at least not a fight that involved actual, you know, fighting and blood and pain and stuff, of-military-age-but-civilian "Republican strategist" Maurice "Ed" Rogers, the one who not long ago breathlessly broke the important news that Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein, leapt bravely into the fray with the non sequitur "if Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant, what does that make Air America?"


Maurice, er, uh, Ed, that was way too verbose.

All you really needed to say was "I know you are, but what am I?"
