The world is witnessing the good and the bad of American political life in the wake of the Haiti earthquake tragedy.

The good? It is the bonding among politicians coming together to aid in the relief effort. Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush — one Democrat, one Republican — are taking the lead in a massive effort to spark international relief efforts. That’s what compassionate Americans do. They set aside their differences for the common good.

The bad? The idiotic comments of talk-radio gasbag Rush Limbaugh, who on Wednesday was making light of President Obama’s response to the earthquake and the catastrophic loss of life on the island nation. The tragedy, Daddy Dittohead said, is “tailor-made” for the president, suggesting that Obama’s response is designed solely to achieve political gain. So help me, this clown is incapable of demonstrating an ounce of on-air decency.
