The ‘Hustle

This is a short one: to Mr. Rush Limbaugh, go straight to hell. Don’t pass go. Just go.

For your ignorance, and slanderous speech against General Colin Powell, after his endorsement of the junior Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, I hope you go straight to hell.

To state as you have, that Colin Powell should be “loyal” to the party that “gave” him his fourth star (the military rank of full General),  belittles his exemplary accomplishment, his complete loyalty and fealty to this nation, and attempts to paint him as unworthy of his EARNED position and some “pet” of the Right, the worst recipient of Affirmative Action.

The man of the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Purple Heart, Legion of Merit, and Bronze Star. Former Secretary of State, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The architect of the winning strategy in the First Gulf War.

But he ought be loyal to a bankrupt party, because they “gave” him his positions of merit.

Please.

And then to allege that he’s simply giving in to race in his endorsement of candidate Obama, you suggest that Mr. Powell’s extensive leadership experience has been subverted, and subsumed by shared skin complexion. You, in essence, make the argument that Powell is nothing but a race pimp.

But you ignore — completely — the fact that high-profile conservatives have been abandoning Sen. John McCain in droves, people like William Buckley Jr., Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, Kathleen Parker, and others. Yet, Powell is driven by race.

It’s not that McCain has run the single worst Presidential campaign in recent — or long-past — history, with a running mate that is utterly unqualified for the lofty office she seeks. It’s race.

You’re out of touch. And completely, startlingly stupid, not to mention just plain wrong.

Rush you’re a joke, a comedian, a hack, and a pusillanimous partisan. Only, you don’t know it. You still think you’re relevant. Well, I appreciate you exposing yourself for the jackass that you really are.

Rush, go to hell.

There is a special place there for you.
