Let me just read the opening, and you\u2019ll understand where it goes. It\u2019s by T. Coddington Van Voorhees VII, Columnist, The National Topsider, Membership Chairman, The Newport Club.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"61\" class=\"alignright\"\/> &#8216;When my late father T. Coddington Van Voorhees VI founded the iconoclastic conservative journal National Topsider in 1948, he famously declared that &#8216;Now is the time for all good conservative helmsmen to hoist the mizzen, pour the cocktails, and steer this damned schooner hard starboard.\u2019 In the 60 years since he first uttered it after one-too-many Cosmopolitans at one of Pamela Harriman\u2019s notorious foreign policy black tie balls, father\u2019s pithy bon mot has served as a rallying cry for conservatives from Greenwich to Chevy Chase. Today, I say it\u2019s time for we conservatives to once again grab the rigging and set sail with the flotilla of the true conservative in this race: Barack Obama. Trust me, I haven\u2019t taken this tack lightly. No Van Voorhees has supported an avowed socialist since great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandpapa Cragmont Van Voorhees lent Peter Minuet $24 and a sack of wampum to swing a subprime mortgage on Manhattan Island.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Folks, it\u2019s the greatest send-up, and we\u2019re going to link to it at RushLimbaugh.com. I\u2019ve heard of Iowahawk. I don\u2019t know what his leanings are, probably lib, I don\u2019t know, doesn\u2019t matter. This whole thing is just wonderful, it is just hilarious. It sends up all these people on our side, these conservative intellectualoids who have decided to join the Obama campaign. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019ve gotta share with you one of the funniest things I have ever read.
