Like this admins attacks Rush Limbaugh's comments regarding his hope that Obama's policies fail.
Sure sounds familiar...

James Carville's 9-11-01 speech in which he says "I hope Bush doesn't succeed..."

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: ??I certainly hope he doesn??t succeed.??
Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: ??Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!?
The press followed Carville??s orders, never reporting his or Greenberg??s desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party??s top strategists, that Bush should fail?
??The difference between Carville and his ilk and me is that I care about what happens to my country,? Limbaugh told Fox on Wednesday. ??I am not saying what I say for political advantage. I oppose actions, such as Obama??s socialist agenda, that hurt my country.

<sigh>
