I think he meant that Rush is an entertainer and was doing what Rush does...better than anybody else.
Steele wouldn't be so stupid as to criticize Rush Limbaugh on CNN!!!
The "entertainer" moniker is a weak and feeble attempt to do to Rush what the "b-actor" label was meant to do to Reagan: distract from his real position and his ideas.
I agree with you. He let himself be drowned out, though. It was probably the shock of Hughley’s hairdo.
Steele needs to act like his name — and like Rush.
I agree....it didn’t come off that bad to me. I wish he didn’t use those words, but the first time I watched it really didn’t even register as much of a criticism of Rush to me.
He clearly stated Rush's comments were incendiary and ugly. Michael Steele is the right man to lead this party down the path it's been going down. It's over for them at this rate.
How can anyone argue they aren’t putting a guy down when they say what he said was incendiary (inflammatory, fire-starting words) and ugly?
As Rush says, “Words mean things.”
That is the opposite of praise. It is rejection. Steele was clearly indicating he does not support what Rush said. Plain as day. You know it deep down anyway, just admit it.
