Why Lisa Murckowski Needed to Go

She's a Democrat in Republican's clothing...

RUSH: Lisa Murkowski said that Sarah Palin does not have the intellectual curiosity to be president. Last night on the CBS Evening News with the perky Katie Couric, the question, "The message you're hearing loud and clear from voters is compromise? Is that right?"

MURKOWSKI: I will tell you, I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well that means the country is doing well. We don't have time as a nation to spend all of what we do blocking. We have got to figure out how we get to a point where we can be sitting around a table and talking about these difficult problems and advancing some solutions.

RUSH: There you have it. Lisa Murkowski ran as a write-in candidate in Alaska with an absolute insane comment. Insane is not even the word. I would trade Lisa Murkowski to the Democrats for Heath Shuler in a moment, and we'd be gaining a couple IQ points. It's hard to believe, but we would be gaining a couple IQ points in that trade. I'd give the Democrats Lisa Murkowski today for Heath Shuler, and I don't even want a draft choice in the next draft, straight-up deal. What a ludicrous thing to say. "I will tell you, I am not one of those who wants Obama to fail. If he does well that means the country is doing well." Lisa, he is doing well. He is succeeding at what he wanted to do. He got his Obamacare. This is silly to keep reliving. We are surrounded by -- I don't know what this is, a lack of knowledge? Is this ignorance? Is it pipe dream Miss America type hopeful -- what is this? It certainly isn't intellectual curiosity. This isn't even intellectual. Lisa Murkowski, "We can't spend our time as a nation blocking"? We damn well better or there won't be a nation. What the hell was this election, Ms. Murkowski, if it wasn't blocking? Holy smokes.
