John and Lew: Don’t forget that Limbaugh began his rise to popularity taking essentially a libertarian point of view. He had no use for either Republicans or Democrats, and skewered both George Bush I and Bill Clinton with equal ferocity. He then was apparently invited to sleep overnight in a GOP White House and found himself an overnight bedfellow. I suspect that, like many conservatives today, he is desperately trying to salvage some degree of respect after years of being an avid neocon cheerleader. Based upon his recent history, I suspect that a future GOP presidential statist will bring him right back to his round heels.
