Rush: GOP Too Scared to Fight 'Two-Prong Minority'

Although Republicans in the Senate are holding their fire on Sonia Sotomayor, Rush Limbaugh sure isn't.

During his program today, Limbaugh said that although the Sotomayor nomination likely cannot be stopped, the Republican Party should 'go to the mat' and oppose her nonetheless. "She is a horrible pick. She is the antithesis of a judge, by her own admission and in her own words. She has been overturned 80 percent by the Supreme Court. She may as well be on the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals, given all the time she's overturned."

Despite that, Limbaugh predicted Republicans in the Senate will be too "scared" to oppose Sotomayor. "This is a two-run homer. You might even call it a grand slam. She's a what? A, a woman. B, what? A Hispanic. Boy. She's a two prong minority. I guarantee you that a majority of Republicans are going to be scared to death to oppose her or even say anything about her because the Dems are going to use race left and right."

Speaking of Sotomayor's background, Limbaugh did say her story is "very inspirational," but she's got two men to thank for her success: Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. "The thing I'd like to point out is that she accomplished all of this during the Reagan years. She accomplished all of this during the Bush years, both Bush presidential years, 12 years, and even the Clinton years. She accomplished all of this before Obama, the Messiah, was elected president of the United States."

Finally, Limbaugh said, "Do I still want Obama to fail as president? Yeah. AP, you getting this? He's gonna fail anyway, but the sooner the better here so that as little damage can be done to the country."
