Rush Limbaugh went on a tirade against the politics of the sequester Thursday. “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country,” he said on his radio show

“We’re just not gonna spend as much as was projected,” Limbaugh added. “It’s all baseline budgeting. There is no real cut below a baseline of zero. There just isn’t. Yet here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here, fear there: Crisis, destruction, no meat inspection, no cops, no teachers, no firefighters, no air traffic control. I’m sorry, my days of getting roped into all this are over. We have the media playing along with all this. The ruling class of both parties play along with all this. It’s insulting. I don’t know how else to describe it.”
