John Hall: Condemn Rush Limbaugh

In the last few days, a tidal wave of condemnation has crashed over Congressional Democrats, following the asinine votes to condemn MoveOn.org in both chambers; TDG's take is here, and it wasn't pretty. But it's too late, the idiocy has been read into the Congressional Record and thereby the history books, where it will stand imperishable until the end of days, unless Congress strikes it. So what to do? John Hall, NY-19, has a moderately creative approach that should do something to quiet the base; a resolution to condemn Rush Limbaugh, noted drug addict and radio host. Okay, fine. Condemn the man, and God alone knows that he deserves it many times over. But here's the thing: have the Democrats even learned their lesson from this? Do they understand that they're not supposed to help the republicans when these happen to be suckerpunching their allies? And above all, do they get, at a deep and visceral level, that the anger over this vote was more pronounced because it was a last straw piled on failure after failure after failure? We shall see. Me, I remain warily hopeful.
