<\/p>\nRUSH: This was funny. This is Reliable Sources on Sunday with Howard Kurtz. He had Daily Caller contributor, Matt Lewis, and Newsweek magazine correspondent, Michelle Cottle, talking about the Republican primary and me. And Kurtz introduced me, played a clip of me talking about my vote in the Florida primary.<\/p>\n
KURTZ: Here\u2019s Rush Limbaugh the day before Tuesday\u2019s Florida primary, couldn\u2019t seem to make up his mind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
RUSH ARCHIVE: And that\u2019s why I\u2019m not gonna tell anybody for whom I voted. That would destroy my objectivity as a journalist. I\u2019m not gonna tell you. It isn\u2019t going to happen. Because when this is all over I am not gonna be in a position where my credibility is such that I can\u2019t support whoever the nominee is.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. So I said it would destroy my objectivity as a journalist with my tongue so buried in my cheek that it nearly came out of its socket. We fast forward to later in the program, Kurtz talking to Michelle Cottle. They have this little exchange about what you just heard me say.<\/p>\n
KURTZ: Rush says he doesn\u2019t want to compromise his credibility depending on whom —<\/p>\n
COTTLE: I\u2019m just stunned that the words “as a journalist” came out of that man\u2019s mouth. He spends all his time telling us how he\u2019s an entertainer, but now he\u2019s “a journalist” with objectivity and credibility.<\/p>\n
KURTZ: I\u2019ve never seen Michelle Cottle look so stunned.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s so easy to fool these people. It is so easy to yank their chains. It\u2019s like those little arcade games at the county fair where the little ducks go by, shooting, one, two, three. I mean, they are so predictable. I, by the way, have never called myself an entertainer. They do. And then the next day they\u2019ll call me the titular head of the Republican Party. I was mocking Brokaw, for crying out loud. Brokaw, he was concerned because Romney was using him from the Nightly News in an ad. Brokaw was concerned about his objectivity as a journalist being compromised appearing in a political ad. And all Brokaw was doing was ripping Newt. They didn\u2019t add to what Brokaw said. Brokaw said it, it\u2019s in there in the public record, but Brokaw didn\u2019t want to be part of the campaign. He likes to do it stealthfully. If he\u2019s gonna seek out and destroy Republicans, he doesn\u2019t want it known that plainly that\u2019s what he\u2019s doing, and Romney made it look like that\u2019s what his point was. He didn\u2019t like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
