Rush Limbaugh made a rare TV appearance on the Fox News Channel with Greta Van Susteren last night, who asked him the following question: Which politician currently do you admire most or impresses you the most?
From the transcript:
RUSH: You know, you asking me a question; if I answer this, I’m gonna make a lot of enemies. It’s really hard to say. I really look at Sarah Palin, however, and I look at everything they’ve thrown at her, I look at the attempts they have made to destroy her: a decent, good, patriotic woman, not done anything to anybody. And, in fact, she has lived the life that the feminists told us women should do. She has had it all. She’s a family woman, she started out in the PTA, got involved in her kids’ lives and took it further, wanted to go into politics at a higher level, try to fix things. She’s done it all, and she has not withered under the efforts to literally destroy her. You have to admire that. You have to admire people that don’t quit and don’t give up, especially doing it with a smile on the face. She’s defied them all along. Even Republicans said when she retired with the governorship, “Well, that’s it, she’s never gonna amount to anything.”
Look at her. Her daughter is on Dancing With the Stars, crossed over into the so-called mainstream. Entertainment Tonight’s up in Wasilla. Entertainment Tonight? I mean that’s the Hollywood left. They’re up there being entertained with exclusives of Sarah Palin. It’s gotta just be rubbing the Democrats raw. This is not what was supposed to happen. This woman was supposed to be a standing joke, and they can’t make a joke out of her because she’s a very serious woman who loves being an American, loves life. And you have to admire how she’s stood up under this withering attack.
