Limbaugh: “I love Sarah Palin”
Hot Air » Top Picks — Limbaugh: “I love Sarah Palin” posted at 5:06 pm on December 6, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | Share on Facebook | printer-friendly From Baba Wawa’s “10 Most Fascinating People of 2008″ special.

First, there's this observation about the difference between TV and radio: [O]ne of the reasons, ladies and gentlemen, I am not enthusiastic about television is that it drives me nuts getting feedback every time I'm on television. When I had my own show, I would go home, I'd check the e-mail, whatever, and ...
