This afternoon on Fox News Channel, Happening Now. This is just moments ago.  Subject: Gay marriage.  The host, Jon Scott, was talking with the former New York Times correspondent Judith Miller, and this is how that went&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>SCOTT:  Rush Limbaugh has said that the argument has been lost because, in his view, marriage ought to be between a man and a woman only, but when you start talking about &#8220;gay marriage,&#8221; you\u2019ve already lost the battle.<\/p>\n<p>MILLER:  Well, that\u2019s pretty much what, uh, Chief Justice, uh, Roberts said.  I mean, he said marriage has been defined traditionally as, you know, a union between a man and a woman since time immemoriam. (sic)  So you have the conservative media, those who question that this is a civil right, challenging that.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_74638\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushCelebrityMontagePIX.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah?  Imagine that, now, folks.  Oh, that\u2019s right.  Marriage &#8220;has been defined traditionally as, you know, a union between a man and a woman,&#8221; but it\u2019s the &#8220;conservative media&#8221; that doesn\u2019t want to grant this is civil right.  It\u2019s not a civil right.  It\u2019s a contractual agreement!  Look, once it became a civil right, that was it. Again, definitions and words mean things.  Once that happened, that\u2019s it. I\u2019m just telling you. It\u2019s over. Combined with no pushback, it\u2019s inevitable.  I don\u2019t know how soon it\u2019s gonna happen, but it is. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the C-SPAN bite.  This where I have now crossed over from a straight political analyst to a celebrity who made news.  It\u2019s last night, C-SPAN, host Bill Scanlan moderating a discussion on the intersection of so-called infotainment programming and political journalism.  Scanlan and the panelist, American University professor Jane Hall&#8230; I don\u2019t know if she still is, but she used to be on the Fox show on Saturday that analyzed how the media did their jobs on stories the previous week.  I don\u2019t know if she\u2019s still on that show or not.  But that\u2019s who Scanlan of C-SPAN\u2019s talking to here.<\/p>\n<p>SCANLAN:  News from the both celebrity and political world. Rush Limbaugh: Gay marriage is inevitable.  This issue of, uh, where celebrities or major media personalities make news about politics.  It\u2019s more and more common.<\/p>\n<p>HALL:  Now you have a lot of figures in the media like Rush Limbaugh, who is a very powerful figure still in the Republican-conservative side of things.  I guess you would call him a celebrity in a lot of ways in the sense that he carries a lot of weight, what he says.  If he\u2019s a celebrity, he is also making news and setting a political agenda in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That makes me A-List, baby. A-List.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Another sound bite, by the way. This afternoon on Fox News Channel, Happening Now. This is just moments ago. Subject: Gay marriage.
