Limbaugh vs. GOP vs. Fox News (Oh, My!)

They asked me,
what do you want to talk about, I didn’t want to talk about Egypt — first thing out of my mouth, I want to talk about immigration and the state of the Republican party. Wouldn’t go there. I had to bring it up myself to whatever extent I did. And that, by the way, is quite telling to me.

Telling Rush Limbaugh — one of America’s legendary talkers — what not to talk about?

Especially when you’re all supposedly on the same “side”?

Rush Limbaugh was (almost) speechless on Tuesday, when — he says — his presumed ideological allies on Fox & Friends tried to steer their conversation away from what he considered a pressing issue:

The precarious future of the Republican Party.

It’s not clear to me from his complaint if Rush is referring to some pre-show conversation with a producer, or about his on-air conversation with the Fox & Friends gang.

Especially because Limbaugh did manage to get in a few remarks about the GOP on Fox News, including his prediction that they could lose the House in the 2014 midterms.

And of course, Rush has his own top-rated radio show, airing three hours a day, five days a week, where he can talk about whatever he wants!

Still, I was struck by his perception — expressed back on his own show on Tuesday afternoon — that those “friends” at Fox had tried to tamp down any talk about fading Republican fortunes.

Is this intramural sniping just a tempest in a tea (party) pot?
