Rush Limbaugh said something that sidled up to the truth the other day. "At no time has the divide between Washington, DC and the rest of the country been greater." Of course the hypothesis is impossible to substantiate but who cares. He's as close to right on this as he is likely to be on anything else. And his view comes closer to unanimity among the populace than the muddled messaging of either party. The canyon between the DC world and the rest of us truly is muy grande.
