Fred Thompson on Rush Limbaugh

Senator Fred Thompson has issued a statement in support of Rush Limbaugh: "Congressional Democrats are trying to divert attention from insulting our military leader in Iraq and pandering to the loony left by attacking Rush Limbaugh. He is one of the strongest supporters of our troops, yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough. I wonder who General Petraeus and his troops think is most supportive?"

Update: Byron York recaps the story and the background behind what Rush actually said.
