Rush on the NY Times attack on McCain

Here's some good quotes from Rush about the bogus hit-piece on McCain from that left-wing tabloid, The New York Times.

"The story is not the story," he said today. "The story is the Drive-By Media turning on its favorite maverick trying to take him out.

"The New York Times endorsed that candidate while they sat on this story, and now with utter predictability, they are trying to destroy him. This is what you get when you walk across the aisle and try to make these people your friends," Limbaugh said.

"Why should any of us be surprised or even angry at what the New York Times is doing here trying to take out John McCain? Those of you who listen regularly should have been expecting this all along because it's utterly predictable," he said.

"It's as predictable as the sun rising in the morning. It's as predictable as Ted Kennedy finding a bar at happy hour," Limbaugh said.

The more significant issue, he said, is whether McCain is going to "learn the right lesson."

"The lesson is liberals are to be defeated. You cannot walk across the aisle with them ... You cannot welcome their media members on your bus and get all cozy with them and expect eternal love from them. You are a Republican. Whether you're a conservative Republican or not, you are a Republican. At some point, the people you cozy up to, either to do legislation or to get cozy media stories, are going to turn on you. They are snakes."
