Huck offers olive branch to Rush, asks for him to get in touch
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — The best-talking Republican politician in America has a message for the best-talking conservative voice in the country: Let's talk to one another.
Mike Huckabee, taking questions from reporters after a town hall meeting here, responded to the torrent of criticism that Rush Limbaugh unleashed during his broadcast yesterday by turning the other cheek — and then heaping on the praise.
"I love Rush Limbaugh; I've always loved his show," Huckabee assured. "I think he’s been great for the conservative movement."
The former Arkansas governor conceded that he hadn't sought Limbaugh out to set the record straight — but that he would like to.
"I don’t have his number," Huckabee explained. "If you have it, Jonathan, why don’t you give it to me. I’d love to talk to him."
"Maybe put it on the Web that if he’ll call me, I’d love to visit with him."
Stung by an anonymous Huckabee supporter's comments to Marc Ambinder that derided the influential talker as taking his cues from the "D.C./Manhattan chattering class," Limbaugh used his Friday show to defend himself.
"I'm part of the Cape Girardeau-Middle America axis," Limbaugh said, alluding to his Missouri hometown.
He called the attacks "Clintonian" and accused Huckabee's campaign of "trying to dumb down conservatism in order to get it to conform with his record."

huckabee only wants peaceful coexistance...
I don’t think Rush is coming back on air until January 3rd. Isn’t that when the Iowa caucus is?
“I think he’s (Rush) been great for the conservative movement.”
He IS the conservative movement you google-eyed toad.
Yep
Hey Hucky - Rush will be back on the air January 2, 2008 at 1200 Eastern Time, and you can call him at 1-800-282-2882.
*LOLOLOL*...been hearing from the Rush fans huckster?
Mike,
1-800-282-2882.
You’re welcome.
Best, Rich
If our party nominates that malicious little goober, Huckabee, we deserve to lose. We will have confirmed the worst stereotypes about conservatives.
He can offer the olive branch, but he can’t change himself into the conservative he claims to be but which he is not.
with criminals and illegal aliens.
What’s that? That we’re all secretly a bunch of socialists?
Must be tough to get up every day and have to deal with the garbage you created the day before.
Think about all he could do dealing with 80 or so nations. He could be backtracking every day.
I will give these Arkansas conmen, W.Clinton, Huckabee and H. Clinton, one thing, they have nerve. A little chat with Limbaugh will not change that article Huckabee, nor his actions as governor of Arkansas nor his views on illegal aliens, etc.
Rush will not blink for this politician.
The primary is on the third?
If rush has him on the air it will be AFTER the caucus.
Huckabee’s staffers must KNOW Rush is out for the Christmass break [graaaaadually sloooly, loooook a cross..].... + . (that was a plus that just LOOOKs like a cross, move along Huckabee is a christian ya know....)
phony conservative
Not only has the Huckster p*ssed off 20 million Rush listeners, but now that he has extended an olive branch half of the middle of the road/independents
won’t vote for him because of their blind hatred for Rush. He’s toast. I hope.
“We will have confirmed the worst stereotypes about conservatives.”
You are absolutely correct in your assessment. Huck is a gift to the MSM and the ‘Rats. The Rep. party is so divided, they can’t see it.
Huck saying “call me Rush and let’s talk” just confirms how clueless this candidate is.
