Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Operation Kneecap

Well, weeks before the Hawkeye Cauci -- long before the launch of Operation Chaos -- I issued a warning to Barack Obama in one of these updates. I said political courage was required of him, if he expected to be the first Democrat to go up against Clinton, Inc., without getting "kneecapped."

Well, this week, a Democrat party official spoke candidly with Jake Tapper of ABC News under strict conditions of anonymity. The official said "of course" Senator Clinton can win the nomination, despite the delegate math favoring Obama. The Democrat official said she'll have to "break his back." She'll have to destroy Obama, make him completely unacceptable -- it'll require exercising the "Tonya Harding Option."

Now, Tonya Harding, you recall, was an Olympic skater in 1994. She rose to infamy when competitor Nancy Kerrigan was kneecapped in an attempt to take her out of competition. Harding's husband was said to have devised the kneecapping.

The anonymous Democrat isn't the only one hinting at the Tonya Harding Option. This week Mrs. Clinton herself told the Philadelphia Daily News editorial board that delegates pledged to Obama aren't really his. "Pledged delegates in most states are not pledged," she asserted. "You know, there is no requirement that anybody vote for anybody... they're just like superdelegates."

Ho, ho, ho, boy... Operation Chaos is succeeding, folks: Hillary's in it to win it. Barack, you better watch your kneecaps -- and every other part of your anatomy. Don't forget she has a testicle lockbox.
