as Tom Pendergast was to the Missouri Democratic party. The eminence gris.
If Tom Benton were painting a mural of America today, Rush would have the same damn cigar in his hand that Benton put in Pendergast's. Only Pendergast dressed better and had a better class of friend. You tell me, if Rushbo's chief producer got gunned down in the street, would his last words be "Tell Rush I loved him."?
But Rush is the go to guy right now. Mike Steele is like Tom Shannon. Head of the Goat faction, but still a Republican. He is full of fail.
But he's got the old money and the mil Intel on his side, and Rushbo having the love of the ideological right by itself is not a winning strategy when the glocks are drawn by one and all.
The GOP is about to have its Union Station Massacre. Mr. Schlozman may well be their Johnny Lazzia. Or perhaps that role is better understood as Rove's. Brian was just driving his car.
In any case, it was the GMen who won, in the end.
