The only people who are giving Limbaugh credibility are the Republicans. The Dems believe he's loony and are appalled that he represents the face of the Republican Party and that they are stuck dealing with him (at least indirectly). The Dems would love to have some reasonable Republicans in charge over there. But the Dems are stuck defending themselves from the likes of Limbaugh, who is nothing but a loud showman/entertainer with a huge following, so he has huge influence. And the other Republican leaders such as Steele take the cue from Limbaugh. Unfortunately that's what the Republicans want these days…. The GOP leadership thinks that's the only way they can keep attention on themselves… and draw some attention away from the Dems, who most Americans support at this point.

And I know its always newsworthy when someone slaps someone else in their own party, such as with Wilkerson here. But how can you then go on CNN and say with a straight face this:

“I couldn't walk into a courtroom and prove this to anybody, but I'm pretty sure it's fairly accurate”

In other words, Wilkinson is throwing some pretty heavy mud at Cheney, but he isn't confident that any of it is true. I say bring charges against the guy and be willing to faithfully prosecute him. But if you just want to run around and toss things out there you cannot prove, then you may just want to sit down and be quiet.
