David Edelstein suggested this week that the journalist
Rush Limbaugh intimidated into writing a softer story was Time's
Richard Corliss. That's a "ludicrous fantasy," says Corliss. He tells
Joan Walsh: "The David Edelstein column, as it relates to me, is total bullshit, unfounded and irresponsible. Rush Limbaugh never called me, ever, and never uttered a hostile word in my direction. He certainly never defamed me, which leaves him one up on Edelstein."
