Dem Rep Wants Limbaugh Debate: "You Are A Coward"

Rep. Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California, has been a leading critic of his party leadership's response to the banking crisis. Over the past month, however, he's been aiming for a new target: Rush Limbaugh.

Except Rush won't play along. In early February, before Limbaugh had become the public face of the GOP, Sherman began making attempts to arrange a debate on Rush's popular radio show, his office said. When Sherman got no response, he sent Rush a letter.

"If you had any confidence in your position, you would agree to my request to have me on your show--where I'm sure I could demonstrate the merits of my views," he wrote.

"You are a coward," he assessed. "Very truly yours, Brad Sherman."



I would love to see a debate between Limbaugh and Rep. Sherman...or anybody else.... but it shouldn't be on Limbaugh's turf. It should be a formal arrangement similar to the Presidential and VP debates with a moderator and RULES.

I think he was too kind in labeling Limbaugh a coward. I have some other choice words that I use though I suppose that he was just trying to refrain from descriptive vulgarity's.
