LEADERSHIP CULTIVATION

Rush Limbaugh Subjects Are Still Kissing His Ring

Some of us have been there.  When we tried to hide our collective deceit we asked the other person to try not to make it look so obvious.  You know, like sit on the other side of the table or show up at a different time, come in a different door or play the good cop, bad cop routine. I suspect that Rush Limbaugh has required more.  The leader of the Republican Party appears to have demanded his subjects to enter the room at the same time and kneel down and kiss his ring...in public. 

Rush Limbaugh has made it no secret that he wants President Obama to fail.  In his normal arrogant manner, the entertainer shouted it to the world.  When Michael Steele, the figurehead leader of the GOP objected, Limbaugh banished him to the dungeon. Now it's Bobby Jindal and Fred Thompson in a lockstep unity chorus singing praises to King Limbaugh that they want the President to fail.  Is it coincidental that Jindal and Thompson are singing the same GOP lyrics? I don't think so. One is a past presidential hopeful failure and one is a hopeful doomed to fail. To earn their commission, it seems that Limbaugh has required them to market an outdated product to an enlightened public. It won't sell beyond talk radio, because we the American people have tasted change and we like it much better.  

Persons with common sense will never allow Limbaugh to pick the next or any future president of the United States.  Sadly for some, presidential aspirations is an addictive drug that clouds good judgment. So expect the kissing of Rush's ring by the GOP to continue. If Jindal and Thompson have friends, someone should wake them while the train is still at the station to help them avoid the fate of becoming modern day "Rip Van Winkles" forced to face the reality that (civil)ization has left them behind.

Rush Limbaugh Punks Michael Steele

Rush Limbaugh spent his entire radio show on Monday ranting about Michael Steele not being the leader of the Republican Party even though he claims that he personally doesn't want the title.  Steele had vocalized on the D. L. Hughley Show that Rush wasn't the GOP leader and that he himself was in fact the de facto leader of the GOP. Not! At least not according to Limbaugh who all but turned Steele into a eunuch. 

But don't blame Rush, blame Steele for letting himself get punked. He blinked when Rush talked about cutting off his fund raising.  Plus Steele didn't get any help from GOP presidential hopefuls like Bobby Jindal who responded like a puppet by saying that Steele shouldn't have criticized Rush. He also didn't' get any help from Eric Cantor who also retreated from comments he had made which conflicted with Rush's desire for President Obama to fail.  

The Democrats will have a field day with this bone thrown to them by the GOP. Now all together class. Who is currently the leader of the Republican Party? RUSH LIMBAUGH!
