Leading up to PEBO's Inauguration next week, the harbingers of awesome just keep coming in. As heat still radiates from the coals of Tuesday night's Dinner Party of the Absurd, it turns out that Rush Limbaugh is headed for the VHS bin. Not only couldn't he score an invite to the elite repast, he's reduced to bragging about the crumbs:(From ThinkProgress)

Today, however, Limbaugh revealed that he actually traveled to Washington for a private lunch with President Bush at which Bush surprised Limbaugh with a birthday cake:
LIMBAUGH: With 10 minutes left in lunch the door opens and the stewards walk in, three stewards, walk in with a little chocolate birthday cake. ... And there's a little chocolate microphone on the plate with the chocolate birthday cake. And my mouth falls open and I'm just in stunned disbelief.

I hate to break it to ya, Rush, but that mic wasn't made of chocolate.

For lunch, the outgoing President had a PB&J sammy, and the outgoing Relevant Pundit had Salmon with french fries. What, were they out of corndogs with truffle remoulade?

I love the symbolism here, in case you hadn't noticed. While Barack Obama is dazzling the likes of William Kristol, George Will, and Charles Krauthammer, Rush is sampling the kids' menu at Friendly's with the lamest duck in presidential history.

A Democratic staffer and I were waxing gleeful earlier today about the possibility of a 16-year run of Democratic rule (maybe all under Obama?). That's a long time for Rush to sit in his corner and caress his Barack the Magic Negro CD for comfort. Maybe Rush's water-carriers will wise up and take a friendlier tone.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
