Why are members of this administration discussing non-governmental issues like Rush Limbaugh’s group bidding for ownership of the St. Louis Rams football team on the fllor of Congress? Democrat Congresswoman (Texas – 18th District) Sheila Jackson Lee took it upon herself to vocalize her opposition of Rush and his NFL bid.
Now keep in mind, this the same Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee that answered her cell phone during a tough question at a healthcare townhall. And it’s the same Sheila Jackson Lee (who represents a district in Houston and sits on committees that deal with NASA) who did not know that astronauts had not traveled to and planted flags on Mars – which was seen when she inquired whether the Mars rover would be able to roll over to where astronauts had planted the American flag…therefore I’m not exactly sure how powerful her words really are for the Democratic party.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had previously launched an online petition to express outrage at Rush Limbaugh for saying he wanted President Obama to “fail.” Now they are trying to ruin his image by calling him a racist and which ultimately lead to his failed NFL bid. The Left will take any shot that it can at discrediting anyone on the Right. Sure they may have succeeded in stopping Rush from taking ownership of the team, but at what cost? To use an analogy; the problem with throwing the first punch is that you have one less arm to block the incoming counter punch from your opponent, opening yourself up for an attack. The Left better be ready, because Rush Limbaugh is a heavy hitter.
Ding, ding, round Two…
