I
don't recall Rush Limbaugh ever savaging a Republican candidate
before. He's been critical of some, but nothing close to the kiss
of death he planted on New Jersey Senate candidate Tom Kean Jr.
yesterday. It started this way.
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk to you for just a second about Republican Senate candidate Thomas Kean, Jr.
in New Jersey. This is a brave man. This is a man who deserves your
attention and your support. This is a man who in the midst of the war
on terror and the war in Iraq, has demanded the resignation of Donald
Rumsfeld.
That's so courageous!
I was so moved when I heard this demand from this Republican. It's
not many Republicans that have this kind of courage and have these guts
-- and he wasn't through there! He then demanded the resignation of
Speaker of the House Denny Hastert and any of the Republican leadership
-- just off the top.
This is courage!

And ended with this.
... We need Republicans in the Senate who don't care about whether
Republicans run the place. We need Republicans in the Senate like
Thomas Kean, Jr. who have no interest in the party or causes or issues.
We need the selfish self-interest of Tom Kean, Jr -- and so today,
ladies and gentlemen, I, Rush Limbaugh, officially and proudly endorse
Thomas Kean, Jr. for Senate in New Jersey.
We need another Lincoln Chafee.

In between, we learn of young Tom's act of
lese majesty - slapping Mr. Republican about the head. "
Without being asked, folks, [Kean] issued a statement denouncing me over
"press reports" he had heard -- he had not heard me; he had heard press
reports -- regarding my reaction to the Michael J. Fox ad."
Bye-bye Tom Kean Jr. What a piece of crap state New Jersey must be, judging
by the people they choose to run for office. Torricelli,
Menendez, Christine Todd Whitman, Frank Lautenberg, Kean Jr. ...
. All of them either organized crime, or organized brickheads.
