Rush Limbaugh toxic to Republican Party, says Bush speechwriter David Frum

By Jane H. Furse

His controversial quips come faster than a locomotive and he leaps over spineless Republicans in a single sound bite.

He's Rush Limbaugh - and he's kryptonite for the GOP, says conservative pundit David Frum. Frum, an influential former Bush speechwriter, charges in this week's Newsweek that the bombastic radio talk show host is trashing the Republican Party by allowing the Democrats to anoint him de facto party leader.

"Limbaugh is kryptonite, weakening the GOP nationally," writes Frum, who coined the term "Axis of Evil."

Frum notes that Limbaugh is a seriously polarizing figure among swing voters, independents and women.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) - who in 2002 compared Limbaugh with a circus clown and then apologized if he had offended circus clowns - called the Limbaugh chatter "a distraction" from "the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression."

2. That's His One Redeeming Feature

Another boat anchor for the GOP. Just like McCain, Romney and good old sister Sarah Palin.

3. HeJUST might be powerful (and un concerned) enough to get away with it

The trick is does he care enough to what they (limpballs) will try to do to his credibility, etc , or will he see it as a "small" pathetic creature trying to hold into power and influence, even when E V E R Y thing he says is either a lie or flat out wrong?

THAT is the trick on whether or not he will bow to fatboy or not.
