From conservative Jerry Taylor, writing at National Review Online:
The question for conservatives is this: Do you want President Obama to succeed in painting the Republican party as the party of Rush Limbaugh? Given his sub-Nixon popularity figures, I can’t believe I’m causing a firestorm by suggesting the answer here is probably “no.”
Oh, but he is causing a firestorm. As near as I can tell, not a single person at NRO is coming to Taylor's aid. They like being the party of Limbaugh.
In other news of the ongoing intellectual collapse of the conservative movement, Politico's Roger Simon reports that the Republican National Committee will meet in an extraordinary special session next week to approve a resolution rebranding Democrats as the “Democrat Socialist Party.” Yippee! They're like five-year-olds in a sandbox. I can't wait to see what NRO thinks of this.

As to the "Democrat Socialist" stunt, what relatively sane Republicans should be worried about is the effect on editorial boards and other bastions of the MSM. Ye olde MSM desperately yearns for equivalence between the two major parties, and tends to view the world through a lens that promotes such equivalence. In an era where the facts have long had a liberal bias, this produces a de facto right-wing tilt, and therein lies much of our problems. If this nutty resolution happens, MSM reaction -- not just leftblogs and Olbermann -- will be worth watching.

What are Limbaugh's popularity figures? I'd love to hear they are very low.
IIRC Nixon's figures were good, for awhile, so is Taylor talking about post-Watergate Nixon?

Limbaugh manages to be well below the crazification factor.

I think there's a decent chance the left is getting trolled here, but if they actually do it, I think it's time consider a stronger approach to negotiating with Republicans, starting with five-minute timeouts and graduating up to no XBox for a week.

The people can easily distinguish between low end garbage politics coming from James Carville, Stephanopoulus, and Axelrod and reality. Rush as GOP leader is fodder for the Dem base like the Dailly Kos nutroots and the mainstream lib media.

Amen, Keith -- that Luther comment is like word salad generated by a right-wing talking-point program. And a program with no spell-check, to boot.

Deckers has high hopes for Teva's new products, but the main engine of growth for the company is its Ugg Australia brand, the sheepskin boot cheap ugg bootsshoppingugg fad that has been hot for several years.
Since then, investors have predicted every year that ugg bootsugg boots ukuggs was a trend that would fizzle out, only to be proven wrong each time.
"We've had double-digit sales growth every year," said Anders Bergstrom, the marketing manager for Ugg Australia.
