I respect Rush Limbaugh, he is a national conservative leader, and in no way do I want to diminish his voice," Steele said in a statement late Monday. "I'm sure that he and I will agree most of the time, but will probably disagree some as well, which is fine. The Democrats are doing everything they can to find ways to take people's attention off of their massive 36-billion-dollar-a-day spending spree that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have embarked on. To the extent that my remarks helped the Democrats in Washington to take the focus, even for one minute, off of their irresponsible expansion of government, I truly apologize.


Hardly an "I'm sorry Rush". More like, "this guys got listeners that help my cause". The apology was to the party for giving the Democrats something to chew on...which he did in spades. But, true to politicians...none of them seem to know when its the right time to just shut up.
