Allahpundit has the audio and partial transcript for the one sided fight. Huckabee does not have the ability to take on Rush. Hence his people have been trying to kiss Rush’s ass! Ed said it is like Bringing A Water Pistol To A Firefight . Jim offers this:
So everybody and their brother is listening to Rush today, wondering if he’ll take a shot at Huckabee after an unnamed Huckabee aide in DC criticized Limbaugh…
The first comment, moments into the show: “You want to whine like Mike Huckabee’s whining… I hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but it happened.”
Now he’s going after Rollins, for claiming Rush (and Rich) don’t like Huckabee simply because they didn’t foresee his rise.
Rush is now playing audio of him talking about “what if Mike Huckabee wins Iowa” from November 8…
“I saw it coming… and I now may be seeing it going.”
UPDATE: Rush is on fire.
“These people are coming after me personally, something I have not done. They’re coming after me personally the way the libs do.”
Rush, discussing how he differs from the NY-DC media axis, lists off Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports World, Republican spending abuses, illegal immigration…
On the argument that he secretly wants Hillary to win, to make him a bigger star: “I became a megastar long before the Clintons got into the White House.”
“I really am uncomfortable with this, I was hoping it wasn’t going to come to this.”
“I’ve never called him a Huckster, I’ve called his fans Hucksters.”
Rush points out Rollins ran the Christie Todd Whitman campaign, calling him the “DC-Manhattan Axis campaign manager.”
“I’m part of the Cape Girardeau-Middle America Axis.”
“Stop with this Clintonian spin.”
“McCain’s starting to look better to than this guy, and that’s saying something.”
“The Huckabee campaign is trying to dumb down conservatism in order to get it to conform with his record.”
Limbaugh is now comparing Huckabee to H. Ross Perot.
“Who is this campaign to decide who is and who is not conservative? I hadn’t heard of Huckabee in any serious manner before this campaign began. Believe me, I know who the conservatives are and aren’t.”
“It’s elites who want to talk to Iran, not Middle America. It’s the elites who are soft on crime, not Middle America.”

What’s so stupid about this whole kerfuffle is that the anonymous retard that was quoted attacking Rush with lib talking points was only identified as a “Huckabee ally.”
That’s crap. This smells like a dirty trick pulled by one of the other candidates or someone who just doesn’t like Huck. I mean think about it: what possible benefit would there be in attacking Rush? NONE.
Whoever pulled this off got a lot of mileage out of it right before Christmas. Nice job, slimeball. Merry Christmas.
