I know that the Rush Limbaugh/Michael J. Fox story is not new, but this audio is. Last Friday, on her weekly "political round table", mild mannered NPR talk show host Diane Rehm really tore into Rush Limbaugh about his Michael J. Fox criticism. I had to capture the audio to listen again and share with others. (Audio

(UPDATE: Lynne K was kind enough to type and post a transcript)
As we approach election day, I am looking for encouragement anywhere I can. Diane Rehm, whose slow deliberate style and long history in broadcasting, give her near unparalleled respect, diverged from her normally polite tone to directly challenge Limbaugh.
While I am happily used to Keith Olbermann providing such scathing commentary, to hear this older, respectful woman reach her limit gives me added hope that more and more folks have reached their tipping point with this so called "conservative revolution".
Thank you Diane Rehm for speaking out. Rush is a disgrace and you have shown this in a way few other could have.
