I was taking your statement in more the general sense - i.e. that hoping that the President "fails" is automatically a regrettable thing to say.
If you want to assign a different context to it because of it was Limbaugh, that's one thing...I think the rest of us are evaluating the statement largely independent from the person who said it.

And that therein is the problem.
You can't separate the statement from him because HE said it.
This is why I cannot understand why some of you here are trying to translate it and make it mean (whitewashing it as it were) something else coming from him.
Again, if this statement was coming from someone a lot more respected on both sides, then a statement of this caliber would be looked at differently ( I think I said this earlier) and hold a lot more weight.
