Limbaugh: GOP insiders "petulant," "I'm in charge!"
September 15, 2010 3:02 PM
Portnoy ABC’s Steven Portnoy reports:
Following the Tea Party’s latest major electoral victory over the Republican establishment, Rush Limbaugh gave his party’s inner-circle a tongue-lashing Wednesday, accusing the power players of having a “petulant attitude” and declaring that he – not they – is “in charge” of anointing candidates who can win.
“This is about conservatives taking back the Republican Party,” Limbaugh said Wednesday, following Christine O’Donnell’s victory in the GOP senate primary in Delaware over Rep. Mike Castle despite the vociferous objections of party insiders.
“Who the hell are they, anyway, to anoint or disanoint somebody as electable or not electable?” Rush Limbaugh asked Wednesday. “I’m in charge of that! … That’s always been my purview and nothing’s changed.”
Listing Charlie Crist, Arlen Specter and Dede Scozzafava among the party-backed candidates that Republican voters have rejected at his behest, Limbaugh urged his listeners to continue to ignore the pleadings of Washington-based GOP operatives who warned against a vote for O’Donnell because they view her as unelectable in November.

Media tweek of the day!
Media Tweak fallen for... hook, line & sinker.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rush, you tell ‘em!
Media tweak of the day. :-)
I can hardly believe it. Limbaugh said straight out that it was going to be a tweak and still they fell for it. ahahahahahahah
Not a very good read, but a preview.
Incredible how stupid they are, isn’t it?
Rush openly talks about how he yanks their chain (and even says things like “now don’t tell them I’m doing this, this is just between me and you”) and then he yanks it and they fall for it.
Boy are they stupid. Grown adults. Getting paid high salaries. PROFESSIONALS!!!! LOL!!!!
lol...ABC must be full of tools...
I’d love to be a fly on the wall of the ABC newsroom when the Assignment Editor walks in and tells someone their assignment is to listen to all three hours of Rush today.
or fools.......
I heard him say it. I took it to mean that I, the everyman voter, am in charge.
Or perhaps it was deliberate bait, as others suggest here.
In any event, he sure as h*** didn’t mean that he, personally, was in charge.
More people will hear this ABC report than listen to Rush.
I don’t know whether the ABC reporter is being stupid, or knowingly has taken the bait, knowing it is bait.
Works everytime.
Oh, no you're not! LOL!
Petulant, thy name is Rove
BAWHAHHAHAHA...IDIOTS fell for it...MY GOD THESE FOLKS ARE BRAINDEAD!!! It was a joke you freakin goofballs!!
If Rush ran for President, think he’d win?
I’d love to see it.
