Just as Hillary Clinton moves from the long shadow of President Obama by throwing his foreign policy -- which she helped implement -- under the bus and then driving over it, compliments of The Atlantic, comes worrisome news (for her) that the DraftRush2016 political action committee has filed required paperwork in Washington's bureaucracy.
That federal filing begs the big question: Is motor-mouth, political shock jock Russ Limbaugh ready for Pennsylvania Ave.?
He's tan; he's rested. But is he ready to give up his "Excellence in Broadcasting" treasure chest for the good of the nation?
The Detroit-based PAC assumes it's a forgone conclusion that former Madam Secretary will be crowned Democratic standard-bearer for the 2016 contest. Operating under that assumption, DraftRush2016 declares their boy is the only right-winger who can defeat the former First Lady.
After all, it humbly says Rush has "talent on loan from God, half his brain is tied behind his back, just to make it fair."
More fun: Limbaugh is said to be "on the cutting edge of societal evolution" and under Rush's steady hand the "would strengthen our traditional way of life" and "return this country to its former glory."
As with every fledgling grassroots movement, the Rush PAC needs plenty of cash to "pitch a tent pole around our first agenda item: the election of well-known great American Rush Limbaugh to the office of the President of US in 2016" and establish a "credible campaign" to make RushBo the Big Cheese.
"Mount RushMore" waits in the wings.
Sorry, Hill. You had your shot.
