Contraceptiongate hijacking important political debate

Our nation has a thousand political and economic problems, but the most passionate debate in Washington right now centers around birth control. Nice job, everybody. Rome is burning, but our primary focus is on this? Special kudos to professional gas bag Rush Limbaugh for throwing way too much gas on this fire. I don't like his style.

Quote of the day: Who loves ya Rush-babe?

"Well, that's how they make their money. I never considered Rush-babe to be anything more than an entertainer. He gets people all riled up all day long, get them filled up with gas, ulcers, heartburn, B.O., and fear. Hell, that's pretty good. You really are an entertainer if you can get all that done!" -- former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson reacting to criticism from conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh. Simpson, who is a Republican and represented Wyoming in the Senate from 1979 to 1997, is now serving on a presidential commission to find ways to bring down the federal debt.
