Former first lady Barbara Bush, suffered from shortness of breath last week, and was taken to the hospital.

She is said to be doing fine, after the two and one-half hour operation, today, and is expected to be released in seven to ten days.

Politico.com uncovered an alledged plot by Democratic strategists James Carville and Puul Bagala, to set radio commentator Rush Limbaugh up as the de facto leader of the Republican party. It seems that a poll taken in 2008, with Mr. Limbaugh's name included gave him a stronger unfavorable rating than Reverand Jermiah Wright or William Ayers, who were used by the Republicans against President Obama during the election cycle in 2008. Then all of a sudden, Mr. Limbaugh
suprised everyone by saying he hoped that Mr. Obama failed.
Mr. Bagala said on AC360 on CNN, that he does not work for the White House and the Obama administration has many other things to do than talk about Mr. Limbaugh. But Rush is enjoying his role in all of this without regard to what it may be doing to the Republicans, his ratings are his main concern. His latest ploy was to invite the President to come to his studio to debate him, without notes or teleprompter. All we can say is, wait for it Rush.

Senator Kennedy later accepted the honor in the name of the voiceless and in the spirit it was conveyed. Mr. Kennedy will not be able to call himself Sir.
