Rush Limbaugh's Gal Joined the New America Club

Rush Limbaugh says the GOP is afraid of Sarah Palin. I think we all are. She's frighteningly incompetent and fringe. I find myself still occasionally thanking my fellow Americans for not electing McCain.
Anyway, Rush has been boasting his gal pal, whom he simply adores. She's the cats pajamas to him.
He says the GOP is afraid of her. But alas, Palin has left Rush to join the GOP boys' New America club, where they gather at pizza places and such and talk about how they're not budging on gay marriage, abortion and other conservative "values" but plan to "listen" to the American people.
A few hours after Rush Limbaugh told listeners GOP leaders launching a Republican re-branding effort hated and feared Sarah Palin, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor announced that the Alaska governor had finally accepted an invitation to join the group.

On a conference call last week for the National Council for a New America, former Republican presidential candidate John McCain said he thought his running mate would probably be part of the effort as well — but there had been no immediate confirmation by her office.

The two groups of key Palin aides — those in the governor's office in Alaska, and at her Virginia-based political action committee SarahPAC — have often given very different messages on her participation in various efforts: Congressional leaders and conservative activists have both announced Palin's planned attendance at major events this year after receiving assurances from one set of advisors, only to learn later from other aides that she hadn't yet made a decision.
