Ridge responded to Rush by challenging him to a fight:
So this morning, Ridge went back on Washington Journal, responding to Limbaugh’s rhetoric. “I’m so sick of Rush Limbaugh. He’s the reason we lose elections. He needs to get the hell out of the Republican Party. As far as I’m concerned, he isn’t a Republican anymore. The man’s running. The man’s hiding. He’s too scared to face me!”
Ridge continued his rant, threatening Limbaugh. “Meanwhile, he sits there in his ‘Southern Command Post,’ and destroys the Republican Party! I’d like to just have three rounds in a boxing ring with that guy so I could shut him up! I’m calling (sic) you out, Limbaugh. Let’s see if you have a big enough set of marbles to back up your crap!”

It's satire, sure; but Fox News took the bait. And, Fox being Fox; it seemed that no one had the brains to pick up a phone and ask Ridge if it were true. I bet all this was Obama's fault; in fact, the Clintons may be behind this, too.
