Rushless
The most interesting angle on President-elect Barack Obama’s bread-breaking with conservatives last night was the intrigue on Rush Limbaugh’s Website.
“„Speculation swirled all over the EIB: Obama asked for ideas to save the economy, Rush had some good ones on Monday, and Tuesday he’s mysteriously in Washington… coincidence?
Sadly, Sam Stein reports that “Limbaugh was definitely not in attendance during the dinner affair.” That begs the question Patrick Ruffini asked: “How representative are Will, Kristol, and Brooks of conservative media?” If you add in Krauthammer, two of them are Fox News “all-stars” who talk to the Fox audience at least once a day. If you strike Will and Brooks from the “conservative media,” then you’re defining it down to the print media organs of the right and to talk radio. And it would be amazing if the Obama White House gave them the access that he’s giving the wiser elites of the movement.
