Rush isn't naming any more names

Sean Hannity's interview with Rush Limbaugh this week has bad news for anyone who likes to write headlines.

HANNITY: Do you see any leaders emerging, some people that you're watching, that you like? You were pretty disposed towards Bobby Jindal for a while.

LIMBAUGH: Yes. You know what I've learned? I'll tell you something. I am - because of this profile, high profile that has been bestowed upon me, I'm not going to mention names.

Rush also makes a curious diagnosis:

"The problem with the Republican Party is the old guard, country club, blueblood, Rockefeller types are now learning [sic] it - the Colin Powell types, the Tom Ridge types."

So Rush says the party leaders are:

1. A retired General who voted for a Democrat.

2. Republicans who are so sparse and impotent they can't even get one of their own elected to Congress in the Northeast.

3. A Vice-Presidential possibility who wasn't selected, because his name incited the prospect of mass mutiny.

But Rush has to say they're the party leaders, because where is the party right now? In the dumps. No one wants to say "I was the leader".
