SOME RATHER THUGGISH BEHAVIOR:

Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”

“Limbaugh isn’t the only one who needs to be made uncomfortable about what he says on the radio,” says a House leadership source. “We don’t have as big a megaphone as these guys, but this all political, and we’ll do what we can to gain the advantage. If we can take them off their game for a while, it will help our folks out there on the campaign trail.”

They told me that if George W. Bush were re-elected, we’d see enemies lists, dossiers, and naked abuse of political and regulatory power in order to silence criticism and secure an unfair electoral advantage. And they were right!

UPDATE: More thoughts here.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Modest skepticism from Allah.

LATER: Waxman denies the reports. The American Spectator stands by its story. Allah is saying I-told-you-so.
