Your Weekly Rush

Well, as i'm sure we all know, Tom Daschle has dropped out of the race. As he said at his announcement, "I’ve concluded that at this moment in our history, with so many important decisions to be made about our nation’s future, my passion lies here in the Senate." While you may not like Daschles politics, his statement seems clear to me. He thinks he can accomplish more in the senate.

But that was until I read Rush's take on the situation. He reported that he had dropped out, but then went to a Washignton post story that reported that his wife was staying with Baker, Donelson, Bearman & Caldwell, as an airline lobbyist. Look at the way he words this story. "The Washington Post reports that Linda Hall-Daschle told her law firm that she would leave to stand by her man in any presidential campaign. If she'd left her job to advance her husband's career, it would've been the first time in a quarter century that she would have not been working."

Did you catch the subtle code there? I know that not all of you have recieved your Rush Limbaugh Decoder Rings, but to make it clear, Republicans don't like women working. Woman working are bad, unless they are writing diatrabes against Democrats (also known as the Ann Coulter Loophole). Women who work can't be trusted. Also Tom Daschle is unmanly to let his wife work, and apparently make more than he does. We wouldn't be surprised if the wussy Tom didn't drop out so his wife could keep her salary.

That's Rush, always willing to tackle the tough progressive issues facing 1947.
