RuPaul would be so proud.It may look and sound like Democracy, but if you look behind the talk radio curtain, you'll find Rush Limbaugh duck-taping Karl Rovian junk back between the thighs of Republican partisanship.
In the spirit of our forefathers who forged out country and our soldiers who have fought and died heroically over the centuries, the loudest of the Lords of Loud has created a campaign to corrupt the presidential primary into a Machiavellian game of pretend.
It's no longer voting for whom you'd like to win, nor even voting against who'd you like to see lose. It's now come down to voting FOR whom you'd like to lose...or as Limbaugh puts it...Operation Chaos.With touting the value of a John McCain presidency either irrelevant or nonexistent, El Rushbo has been pushing for his dittoheads to cross dress as Democrats and vote for Hillary Clinton hoping to pervert each primary outcome for two reasons: One is to keep the Democratic battle going on as long as possible to create divides within the party for a long as possible. Two, is to somehow garner a win for Hillary who Maha Rushie feels is an easier get for invigorating the Republican "I hate her with a passion" base when McCain reenters the fray.
Operation Chaos is not meant as would be a profound and complex gender transformation, but more an elaborate Cher impersonation who those without solid political radar would swear was an actual Democrat. You know, if it quacks like a Democrat... Still, it's less Christine Jorgensen and more Crying Game. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Shockingly, the name Operation Chaos was born out of an earlier election and devotee to American integrity...Richard Nixon, who consolidated a number of domestic surveillance agencies (legal and not-so-legal) under the moniker of Operation CHAOS. After the patriotic Watergate break-in, Operation CHAOS was shut down.
Leave it to Rush to breath life back into such a proud moment in American history.
But the moment may have ricocheted into a Democratic four year term and a parade down Pennsylvania Ave (as well as I'm sure, most of San Francisco).
And speaking of Pennsylvania, Rush may not have only done his job too well - ex. for the first time since 1978, Bucks County Pennsylvania has more Democrats than Republicans - but he has also given a Democratic politician a ton of something you can't buy for any amount of money...free publicity.
A virtual unknown outside of Bucks County, PA, County Commissioner, Diane Marseglia, has become a bit of a national name as well as somewhat of a David to Rush's Limbliath
Marseglia, didn't take Rushbo's Pennsylvania meddling sitting down, slingshoting a return salvo directly at the giant's soft-spot...his ego.
"Bucks County is privileged to have people of superior intelligence, and they don't listen to Rush Limbaugh."
Bam. That's gonna leave a mark.
With his usual disdain for women (look at his marriage/divorce record), a wounded Limbaugh branded Marseglia as "The Democrat Babe," on his national radio show.
Reloading, Marseglia has launched the shot that - if aim be true - could fell the radio colossus ego or at least leave a nice dent... "if they feel they have a voice in this election they will stick around."
Thud!
Of course right after Limbaugh took aim at her, the dittoheads' emails started making their way to Margseglia, but if there be anything Limbaugh thinks could shake Marseglia, he might think again. She's dealt with far more grief than anything Limbaugh could deal out. Three years ago she lost her daughter to suicide. A therapist by trade, instead of dwelling on her overwhelming heartache, Marseglia chose to build something positive, going from school to school to enlighten educators to the intolerance and real pressures kid face on a day to day basis.
Consistently placing kids and family ahead of political expediency she's served as chairperson of the Youth Aid Panel, coordinator of the Teen Task Force, and member of the local Suicide Task Force.
Does being nationally demeaned by Limbaugh bother her?
"I take it as a badge of honor," admits Marseglia, "but what bothers me more than anything is that he is in a position to do so much good and instead chooses to breed hate."
Marseglia also feels that Limbaugh's conservative principles are far from principled.
"Besides being unethical, Limbaugh's tactics only point out what a hypocrite he is," siad Marseglia. "We had to pay overtime for people to handle the extra registrations, which is fair and proper. But if one voter re-registered on Limbaugh's agenda-driven behalf, then he caused undo taxpayer cost."
How well he has accomplished what he wanted so far is debatable, but while Limbaugh's political drag show drags on, people like Diane Marseglia seem satisfied with just being themselves.
"I'll leave pretend politics to Rush," says Marseglia. "He seems much more comfortable with being a fraud."
