WH distances itself from Limpballs on ‘phony soldiers’ remark.

Not one criticism from the WH on Limpballs' remark yet they bring out Purina, kittybowtie's real owner, to give the fluff.

From Thinkprogress:

In a press briefing this morning, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino was pressed specifically about Rush Limbaugh’s “phony soldiers” comment. She responded: “It’s not what the President would have used, no.”

Recall, Bush blasted the MoveOn ad as “disgusting,” and he lamented that more Democrats did not “speak out strongly” against it. TPM observes that the White House response to Limbaugh is “hardly the scathing condemnation that MoveOn earned at the hands of the President of course.”

In remarks on his radio station today, Rush Limbaugh refused to apologize for his “phony soldiers” remark, but instead turned his fire on Media Matters, the “drive-by media,” and Rep. John Murtha (D-PA). C&L has the
audio.

Well Jackie, I hate to admit this, but I did listen to him went he went on a rant on Hilary the other day. He is way out there, I heard some things I never would have thought of, of course that's always when I listen to him, he is something else, what? I don't know, but you have to listen to him for entertainment purposes only.
