Where was the outrage?

In January of this year, Rush Limbaugh called Republican Chuck Hagel “Senator Betrayus” for joining with Democrats opposing Bush on the escalation (with the PR moniker, “the surge”). Where was the outrage in the media? Where were the sheepish Republicans being forced to agree that their media hero was out of line?

I’ll bet you didn’t even know that. I didn't, and I thought I picked up almost everything. Or at least I don't remember. Liberal media?
