Rush Limbaugh may have met his match.
An editor from Motor Trend magazine has taken the radio talk show juggernaut to task, shredding Limbaugh after he attacked the magazine's credibility and GM's new electic car, the Chevy Volt.
The attack was fueled by comments Limbaugh made after the magazine named the Volt "Car of the Year." In a fit of Limbaughesque rancor, the editor, Todd Lassa, slammed Limbaugh personally, even going so far as to raise Limbaugh's onetime addiction to the painkiller Oxycontin.
Limbaugh attacked the car in little-noticed comments last week. "The Chevrolet Volt is the Car of the Year?" he asked. "Motor Trend magazine, that’s the end of them. How in the world do they have any credibility? Not one has been sold [and] the Volt is the Car of the Year."
Soon after, Motor Trend editor Todd Lassa went on the attack, in a blog post titled, "Rush to Judgment."
"Our credibility, Mr. Limbaugh, comes from actually driving and testing the car, and understanding its advanced technology," Lassa wrote in a blog post on the magazine's website. "It comes from driving and testing virtually every new car sold, and from doing this once a year with all the all-new or significantly improved models all at the same time. We test, make judgments and write about things we understand."
