Rush Limbaugh interviews Karl Rove

It's funny when Rove talks about Obama coming to the White House as a Senator. Rove said “He was the least impressive legislator there”. That kind of falls in line with what Rush always says about Obama being the least experienced person in whatever room he walks into.

I don't get why Rove said Obama was bright. Obama's intellectual foundation is built on popsickle sticks and Marxist indoctrination. He can give a good speech, he can fit in with the tweed jacket crowd, but his knowledge of the free market system doesn't extend beyond a Social Problems textbook version or whatever socialist tome he could get his hands on.

Limbaugh kind of talked about it later, talking about Ted Kennedy (Obama, Ted Kennedy, same thing). I thought it was a pretty good little soliloquy on politicians:

So it's not that the two parties are the same and so forth. It's that it is a business. Politics, like everything else, is a business, and it's a game. And the people that are on stage in the game, and if they're prominent in the game regardless what party they're in, there's, I guess, a lot of respect bestowed upon them. Whereas you and I are not in the game. You know, we're the peasants with the pitchforks. We see these people playing the game. The country's the Monopoly board and we're the pieces, and they're rolling the dice and moving us all around here. So some of us end up in jail, some of us buy worthless railroads, some of us end up Park Place, some of us end up St. James Place — and others end up, you know, on Ventnor Avenue. We move around and so forth, but they're still the guys with the dice. We very seldom pass Go, and if we do (laughing) we go to the jail, tax jail or whatever jail it is. So this is an eye-opening thing in a way to try to understand this, because when you hear people say, “Oh, Ted Kennedy? I have an amazing lot of respect for him.” I didn't respect Ted Kennedy for anything.
