During the White House daily press briefing on July 29, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took another couple of jabs Limbaugh - this time over the auto manufacturer bailout. In responding to a question concerning charges of "socialism," Gibbs went right after Limbaugh.
"Look, I'll say this - Rush Limbaugh and others wanted to walk away," Gibbs said. "Rush Limbaugh and others saw a million people that work at these factories that worked at these part suppliers that supported communities and thought that we should all just walk away. The president didn't think that walking away from a million jobs in these communities made a lot of economic sense."

Florida Primary candidate Greg Brown steals Doug Broxson's campaign signs!
Greg Brown, Republican candidate for the Florida House of Representatives, was caught on video last Saturday night removing his opponent -- Doug Broxson's -- campaign signs. Members of Doug Broxson's campaign, concerned by the frequent disappearance of their campaign signs, were setting up a remote video survellience when -- to their surprise -- Greg Brown and his wife appeared and began removing their signs right in front of the bushes where they were hiding. The District 1 candidate can be seen removing signs while his wife, Jennifer, pretends to be placing her own sign each time a car passes by. Greg can also be heard warning his wife that her fingerprints are still on the signs on the ground.
