Rollins,the jack ass that bashed Rush Limbaugh to score MSM points? Nice try.
Ed Rollins was not there to defend Rush - he was working for his candidate. The only time Rush was mentioned was by the CBS reporter:
CBSNews.com:
“Let’s start with the attacks on Governor Huckabee from a lot of Republican establishment figures lately. Rush Limbaugh has called him “the Huckster.” Rich Lowry, the editor of the National Review, has said it would be suicide to nominate him. Why do you think he’s provoking all of this criticism?”
Ed Rollins:
“Well, I think first of all he is not an establishment candidate. I don’t think anybody anticipated early on when he started to run that he would do as well as he’s doing. Some of these guys have picked other candidates.”
“And I think, to a certain extent, the alleged wise men have sat around in either the studios, or the newsrooms, basically writing magazine articles. They didn’t see it coming and I think they underestimated him.” (snip)
