Rep. John Shadegg to the Principal’s Office

The conservative GOP leader from Arizona blurts out that “Rush Limbaugh is a television personality.” The journalistic ballet, of switching on Limbaugh’s show at noon and seeing whether he reacts, goes on.

It would still be a surprise if Limbaugh takes this bait. While he brought numerous members of Congress to their knees in the first part of the year, he declined the chance to respond to Wanda Sykes’ devastating routine. The guy’s arrogant, but not dumb, and he knows that he’s being taunted at this point.
