"Rush Limbaugh is the master of the preemptive strike. Sometimes when Limbaugh says something controversial, he'll immediately launch into a bit about how the "drive-by media" will misinterpret his remarks. A few days after the Virginia Tech shootings, Limbaugh said the killer "had to be a liberal . . . it's a liberal that committed this act."
