Rush Limbaugh — responding to Mike Huckabee’s peace offering — said today that he doesn’t need to talk with the former Arkansas governor.
(I would tell Suckabee to kiss my ass!!!!)
“I saw his comments and accept them as honest, sincere and genuine,” Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail.
Still, the conservative talk show host indicated his continued displeasure at the anonymous remarks Thursday from a Huckabee backer suggesting he takes his cues from the ”D.C./Manhattan chattering class” that sparked this conflagration.
“What was somewhat stunning about all this is that NO ONE in the GOP field, including advisers and staff, could possibly misread my 19-plus-year career the way Gov. Huckabee’s D.C. supporter did,” Limbaugh said. “Whoever said those things was essentially repeating the Democrat mantra of all these years: that I am just an entertainer, not an independent thinker, part of the Wall Street/D.C. axis. If it was someone on Gov. Huckabee’s staff or support team, it was just silly, uninformed and thus curious.”
Limbaugh, the most listened-to talk show host in America and an influential voice in the conservative constellation, devoted part of his show Friday to defending himself against the charges.“I’m part of the Cape Girardeau-Middle America axis,” Limbaugh said on the program, alluding to his Missouri hometown.
He also struck back, calling the attacks “Clintonian” and accused Huckabee’s campaign of “trying to dumb down conservatism in order to get it to conform with his record.”
In his e-mail, Limbaugh kept it up.“Gov. Huckabee’s campaign is engaged in identity politics at this moment, so I understand his adviser’s/supporter’s intent to put the focus on me rather than the substance of my commentary,” he tweaked.
And as for Huckabee’s plea for Limbaugh to get in touch, the man behind the golden EIB microphone said this: [T]here are people on his Arkansas staff who know full well how to reach me and they have not. But that is not necessary to me. We’re not playing in a kindergarten sandbox here. We are all presumably adults.”
Limbaugh did, though, offer a timely coda: ”I wish Gov. Huckabee a Merry Christmas.”

I wanted to stop by and wish you and Mrs. Snoop and any and all of your family a very Merry Christmas!
I have been running, but I’m sitting back this evening and doing things I want to do!
And one of those was coming over and reading some Snoop.
I really enjoyed getting to put your piece up and thougt you were great (LBG’s words were ‘Brilliant! Bloody Brilliant!”)
Anyway, someone who said she was a relative dropped a comment over at our site and said you were all gonna have a party and I told her to make sure you toasted one up for you from all us over here!
Merry Christmas…
