March 02, 2009Gibbs: Limbaugh "Wishing And Hoping" For Economic Failure
CBS News: Gibbs, pictured below, said Limbaugh "doubled down on what he said in January in wishing and hoping for economic failure in this country" during a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend.
The speech, Gibbs told reporters, appeared to be "quite popular at the room in which he spoke."
Asked if the White House was elevating Limbaugh as a political tactic, Gibbs said, "I think he elevated himself."
Gibbs also called the radio host "somebody that seems to be, maybe for lack of a better word, a national spokesperson for conservative views."
