Well, this is pretty interesting. Rush Limbaugh visited Fox & Friends this morning where he couldn't have sounded happier with his appearance. But later, he took to his own airwaves to bitch that Fox News wouldn't let him discuss what he wanted to discuss, immigration and the GOP. (H/T Media Matters)
According to Limbaugh, he told Fox beforehand that he wanted to talk about "immigration and the state of the Republican party" but that Fox "wouldn't go there." Limbaugh added, "I had to bring it up myself to whatever extent I did." He called that "very telling" and promised, "I'm not through with this."
And yet Limbaugh acted as though he were delighted with all things Fox and Fox & Friends during his appearance. I'll post that segment as the first video below.

Rush has every opportunity to spit whatever hate he wants five days a week, so it’s not like he’ll never get a chance to express his thoughts, and if he feels he was denied his freedom of speech rights he can always refuse to return to Fox. But as Truman said below Ailes and Rush are good friends and Ailes was the executive producer of his short lived TV show in the early 90’s, so he’ll be back. After all where else can he go and avoid difficult questions and not be treated like a God? He’s no different than Palin who must also avoid confrontation or any challenge to the myth that their followers have.
Nixon trainee Ailes has low tolerance of talkers criticizing his precious Fox. Ask Actor Glenn Beck.
