Rush could be called the de facto leader of the conservative movement, I suppose.
I watched and re-watched the video - particularly Steele's comments at 6:56 - I just don't see where he's directly referring to Rush's speech at CPAC as "incendiary" and "ugly". It's a bit unclear.
Oh come on. Don’t try to candycoat it. Of course Steele was not referring to his CPAC speech. It’s worse than that. Steele was referring to Limbaugh’s show!
