Rush Limbaugh to Politico on Powell's Endorsement

"Rush Limbaugh suggested Powell's move was very much related to Obama's status as the first African-American with a chance to become president."

"'Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race,' Limbaugh wrote in an email.  'OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with.'"

"'I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making HIM a 4-star and Secretary of State AND appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let's hear it for transformational figures.'"
