Last time we checked in, Colin Powell had just responded to Rush Limbaugh's recent suggestion that Powell wasn't a real Republican, and should leave the GOP. Powell said the following last night:
"Rush Limbaugh says, 'Get out of the Republican Party.' Dick Cheney says, 'He's already out.' I may be out of their version of the Republican Party, but there's another version of the Republican Party waiting to emerge once again," Powell told the crowd.Limbaugh just responded:
And now there's an agenda -- an emerging agenda -- that he's waiting for for the Republican Party? The only thing emerging here is Colin Powell's ego. Colin Powell represents the stale, the old, the worn-out GOP that never won anything. The party of Gerald Ford, Nelson Rockefeller, Bill Scranton, Arnold Schwarzenegger and those types of people. Has anybody heard Colin Powell say a single word against Obama's radicalism -- or Pelosi or Reid, for that matter? Maybe he has but his fawning media sure hasn't reported if he has said it.Note: Halperin gives no source, or date, for his "quote" of Limbaugh. In view of the fact that Halperin has sent out fake stories in the past, during his time at ABC, in order to be "funny," we should take this Limbaugh quote with a grain of salt until Halperin deigns to source his post like all good journalists should.
