DCCC Launches ImSorryRush.com

March 4, 2009 | 5:26 PM

From Hotline On Call...

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched a new Web site -- ImSorryRush.com -- spoofing Republicans who criticize conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh and "then turn around and quickly beg his forgiveness." The site allows users to customize their own Limbaugh apology letters. "If you're one of the growing number of Republicans who need a quick and easy way to apologize to Rush Limbaugh after you cross him, look no further than ImSorryRush.com," Jennifer Crider, communications director for the DCCC, said in a statement. "Even if you're not a Republican, this new site gives you the opportunity to apologize to Leader Rush just like the elected Republicans did."

The site is an effort, of course, to push the Michael Steele/Limbaugh feud into another news cycle. And to hammer home the notion that "Leader Rush" is heading the GOP. But the Democrats aren't the only ones still musing about Republican National Committee chief Steele's recent criticism of Limbaugh, whom he called an entertainer who makes "ugly" and "incendiary" remarks. The conservative blogosphere is buzzing with discontent. Blogometer's Ian Faerstein reports that bloggers are slamming Steele and sticking by Limbaugh. Read the full story here.
