Every where you turned last week the media, Democrats and talk radio was talking about one thing: Rush Limbaugh.

It was Rush as the leader of the Republican Party, Rush as the main opposition to Barack Obama, Rush as the ratings booster.

But this week Rush is on vacation — what will the administration, Democrats in Congress, MSNBC and Sean Hannity talk this week? Or are they just going to keep the same story going?

The libs are even running radio ads featuring the “I hope he fails” line (yeah, that’s gonna work).

Hannity replayed the now infamous interview that everyone took out of context on his show Sunday night. Obviously the She-Ra of conservative talk knows he’s only where’s he’s at by piggy-backing on the popularity of He-Man.

They all must have cried last week when Rush announced he was taking this week off. With his 20 million-plus listeners, Rush is good for ratings. The left won’t have a lightening rod to distract from that crap-sandwich (to borrow a term from Michelle Malkin) they call a stimulus package. And the right won’t have the master’s coattails to ride.

So, with Obama enemy No. 1 taking a week off, to where will the focus turn? Let’s just hope the Republicans in the Senate hold strong without their daily dose.
