As if the Democrats needed to rub in the fact that they still have a leg up in the ‘Internet’ and ’sense of humor’ departments, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched a new site called “I’m Sorry Rush.” Here, visitors can construct apology notes to Rush Limbaugh from a number of elected Republican officials who have recently crossed the talk show gasbag.

The site hosts a form letter, equipped with drop-down menus in order to complete sentences. The letter begins, “Dear Rush, I’m sorry that I called you [an opportunistic brick thrower/ugly/an idiot],” in reference to comments made by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, Congressman Phil Gingrey of Georgia, and Governor Mark Sanford of South Carolina. All three men have made comments that were dismissive of Rush, only to later backtrack and apologize for repudiating the conservative, talk-radio star.

Of course, this is all part of an attempt by Democrats to make Rush Limbaugh the unofficial figurehead of the Republican party. Their rationale does make a lot of strategic sense when you consider that this is a man who mocked Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease, used illegal prescriptions to feed an oxycodone habit, and said, “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.” He is a fine American, that Rush Limbaugh.
