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."

Are you kidding?! Asking Rush to call him is extending an olive branch?
Why would Rush Limbaugh call a weaselly unethical liar like Huckabee after the filthy hick insulted him? Rush will be heard by millions daily long after Huckabee returns to his sweaty Baptist wallboard boxes.
Huckabee is a liar and a traitor; and you're an idiot. imo of course.
This isn't Huckabee's fault.
I thought Rush was going to cry.
What a pile of ...., “I don’t have his number.” Has the Huck ever listened to Rush’s show? I doubt it.
Mike Huckabee is not Ronald Reagan.
But he may well be William Jennings Bryant.
No thanks.
But if you had a pea brain between your ears, you would know that Rush doesn't let Pubbie candidates on his show, otherwise, all the Pubbie candidates who didn't insult Rush and his 22 million listeners, would have already been on his show.
Huckleberry, did you fire that bonehead campaign chairman Ed Rollins yet? If not, don't even bother, 'cause we here at FR are gonna stick a fork in ya, you're done. Go home, Flim Flam Hillbilly Man.
It's too late
I am hoping that Rush just says move along lil boy move along.
Fridays show would be a good ‘best of’...don’t ya’ think?
HEEHAW, HEEHAW
He should clean house of at least a couple on his staff for making him look like such a goober.
He would split the party just as bad as Rudy would, totally agree.
He said that because he has no intention of talking to Rush.
I ran into Hucklebee at an Eric Clapner concert in Rio Linda.
“Rush. Get to know Mr. Huckabee. Third third party defamation campaign is loosing credibility. Huckabee speaks well and with authority. The last thing Rockefeller republicans want.”
Oh brother...
LOL
No wonder the University of Arkansas mascot is “hogs”(slang for “Razorbacks” for all you perfectionists out there) And, the yell is “Sooey pigs, sooey.”
I am sooey happy that Free Republic denizens are not being flim-flammed by this top artist.
