Rushing into misquotes

A May 25 Style review of Zev Chafets’s book “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One” incorrectly quoted the book as reporting that Limbaugh thought of President George H.W. Bush as “a pretty, country club moderate.” That sentence in the book reads, “Bush struck him as a preppy, country club moderate, an Ivy League snob.” The review also omitted the word “become” in a statement by Limbaugh that is quoted in the book. That quote should have read, “I know I have become the intellectual engine of the conservative movement.” Link
