David Axelrod visits the "Late Show With David Letterman
Obama adviser slams Romney for Limbaugh while planning to go on Maher
By Daniel Libit and Sam Goldsmith Wednesday, March 7, 2012
CHICAGO -- While slamming Mitt Romney for not standing up to the
“strident voices” on his side, a top Obama advisor is planning to spend
some quality time with one on his own, The Daily has learned.
David Axelrod, President Obama's senior campaign strategist, is
scheduled to appear on Bill Maher's late-night talk show within the next
few weeks, according to Kelley Carville, an HBO spokesman.
As the controversy over Rush Limbaugh's comments about Sandra Fluke
continued, a former Obama White House official today joined Republicans
in pointing out that Maher, who recently donated $1 million to a
pro-Obama super PAC, has a history of his misogynistic slurs.
Last year, he was rebuked by the National Organization for Women for calling Sarah Palin a "dumb tw*t."
“palin is right to point out that bill maher has said some pretty
disgusting things about women, comedian or not. they are rush like,”
Austan Goolsbee, the former chairman of President Obama’s Council on
Economic Advisors, and currently a professor at the University of
Chicago, tweeted.
After Obama spoke with Fluke, the Georgetown University Law Student
called a “slut” and “prostitute” by Limbaugh, Palin challenged
Priorities USA to return Maher’s donation.
"Pres. Obama says he called Sandra Fluke because of his daughters.
For the sake of everyone's daughter, why doesn't his super PAC return
the $1 million he got from a rabid misogynist?," Palin wrote Tuesday on
her Facebook page.
In a conference call with reporters today, Axelrod invoked Limbaugh on several occasions.
