Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the Republican on Republican cat-fighting. Over recent weeks, we've seen Romney vs. Steele, Steele vs. Limbaugh, Limbuagh vs. Powell, Palin vs. Romney, and on and on. One political family who seems to enjoy getting into it is the McCains. Nearly every week, we're treated to a new dust-up between Meghan and some old-school GOP figure, but today we have Roberta McCain, John's 97-year-old mother, joining the fray.

On "The Tonight Show" last night, Mrs. McCain took aim at one of her daughter's favorite targets, Rush Limbaugh:

"I belong to the Republican Party. What he represents of the Republican Party has nothing to do with my side of it. I don't know what the man means, I don't know what he's talking about."

Furthermore, Roberta was aghast at the way RNC Chair Michael Steele retreated from his own criticism of Limbaugh:

"I think [Steele] was exactly right when he defined this man as an entertainer. To my horror, the Republican Party made him back up on it."

Well, there you have it, one more round of GOP infighting.

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Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
