that s just the way it works. i don t think there s really a fault line. there s a moment of graciousness and momentary truce. pretty soon, be everybody s going to be back at everyone s throats. are we going to see a parade of republican legislators go on to limbaugh s program and apologize for disagreeing with him? i don t think so. what s going to happen is those republican legislators will want to reach that audience and so they ll go back on that show. i think limbaugh probably won t challenge them on it unless they go really far off the reservation in terms of trying to cooperate with the president. if they say, he did a good job, i don t think they ll be punished harshly. thanks for your time tonight. thank you very much. for the politics, let s go to msnbc political analysis, howard fine man, senior political editor of the huffington post. good evening. good evening. how is the favorable response
