McCain: Rush 'a distraction' Politico Live Politico Live 40 mins ago
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that the Rush Limbaugh dust up this week has been "all a distraction."
"I think it's all a distraction," McCain said during an interview on Fox News Sunday. "Mr. Limbaugh has his audience and his base of support around the country, but the important stuff is what we're talking about right now, job losses."
Limbaugh has criticized McCain numerous times over the years, but the Arizona senator chose to lay off an opportunity to take a shot at the radio host. McCain also made no mention of a Limbaugh's comment this week that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) may not live long enough to see President Barack Obama's healthcare bill signed.
"The Democrats have made a lot of hay out of this, let's move forward," McCain said.

McKennedy is an embarrassment. Gads, I wish he would just go away.
Far, far away.
In any case, about as many people listen to him as listen to Bill Gates.
McCain, YOU’RE a distraction.
To be fair, McCain didn’t say specifically that Rush was a distraction, just the whole thing in general is. Typical MSM using false headlines again.
A wise decision.
Yeah McCain, and you’re a major pain in the posterier! Just PLEASE GO AWAY!
McWuss you’re a loser
Hey Juan, he knows a helluva lot more about being a conservative, a Republican than you ever will. STHU, RINO.
I hope none of us do.
Could it ever happen that Johnny Mac for once actually point out it is The One doing the distracting - purposefully - to avoid the obvious incompetent job of governing?
Or is it just too easy to always blame conservatives?
At one point, when McCain had almost enough primary seats to carry his win...Rush came out and basically said to vote for Hillary...it was better to have her for eight years than eight years of McCain. This statement carried on for several days before he stopped discussing the item. There is no love lost between these two. McCain is a RINO and would likely lose a debate between himself and Rush....although I really don’t want to give Rush any big bonus points because I don’t consider him to be a 5-star debate artist.
What a sour, little, sniping, pipsqueak this old windbag has become.
It looks like the media darling is back!
McCain - striving to prove Obama WAS the better choice?
Will this foolish and misdirected asshole ever go away?
Fresh from his nationwide apology tour, the senator speaks...
To be fair — McCain should be led away and admitted to the nearest VA hospital..
Clearly he is suffering from wounds not yet healed.
Ironic that President Obama knows how big Mr. Limbaugh's audience and base of support is but Senator McCain doesn't. If he did, Senator McCain might have tried to appeal to Mr. Limbaugh's audience and base of support.
O well. The choice before us last November was a .22 to the leg or a .45 to the chest. As a nation, we chose poorly, but McCain wasn't a "good" choice, as he has shown time after time since the election.
Who only voted for your sorry keister because of Sarah Palin.
McCain should be the top objective for voters to get rid of. He is SHAMEFUL on Fox this morning.
