In response to critical comments by former Republican Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, rightwing talker and self-proclaimed “Dean of the Limbaugh Institute for Conservative Studies,” Rush Limbaugh, offered a fresh and perhaps telling explanation this morning for his ongoing attacks on presumptive Republican Presidential nominee John McCain.
“We’re trying to avoid a fifty state landslide!” Limbaugh shouted angrily in reply to the comments from Eagleburger, who had slammed him and fellow Republicanist entertainer Sean Hannity of Fox “News” and ABC Radio.
“I don’t know who elected Rush Limbaugh or Hannity as the heads of this conservative movement,” Eagleburger says at the beginning of a clip from MSNBC last night that was aired on today’s radio show. “They throw that word around as if it was theirs and theirs alone.”
“I thought I was a conservative, but that doesn’t mean that I have to buy off on everything these poobahs thinks is what’s necessary to be a conservative,” continued the former Sec. of State, before defending what he sees as McCain’s conservative national security credentials.
Eagleburger’s slam would lead to a telling outburst in reply from Limbaugh.
