Rush: McCain Campaign "Disgraceful" and "Dishonest" About Dole Letter

The Bob Dole letter to Rush Limbaugh is making its way around the MSM. Today on Rush's program, Limbaugh read the letter, which was clearly NOT an endorsement of McCain as McCain indicated today. It was also not scolding Rush in any way, as McCain's campaign implied.

Rush calls McCain's claims "disgraceful," "dishonest," and a "dirty little trick" typically seen from the Clinton camp.

McCain claims:
1) The Dole letter was some kind of endorsement, or sent on the Senator's behalf.
2) Romney attacked Dole or his military record.

Both of these claims are false. Romney compared John McCain's "inevitability" to Bob Dole's in '96, but that's it. And Dole never endorsed John McCain in any way, shape or form.

It goes to show how willing the MSM is to take McCain's misleading statement without even bothering to read the letter. Take this article at Politico.
