Limbaugh's Commentary

The other day I was listening to Rush Limbaugh discuss the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Souter and Arlen Specter’s switch to the Democrats. According to Limbaugh, Specter’s leaving the Republicans will make it easier for the Republicans to cause a filibuster when deciding who will replace Souter. Apparently, the only way for a filibuster to be broken is if someone from the minority voted for the nominee. Without Specter, the chances of someone going against their party have been lessened, since he is no longer part of the minority.

Of course, Limbaugh is a right wing Republican, and wants nothing but the best for his party. I don’t blame him for being biased, as there is no way for him to hide it. If anything, I felt that what he had to say was very interesting, and informative. He may not be right, which he even admits there is still a possibility that someone would break the filibuster. Honestly, I learned something from Limbaugh’s right wing biased program. Political commentaries can be interesting, so long as you understand their biases.
