Campbell Brown, the anchor of the CNN program "No Bias, No Bull," has challenged conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh to come onto her show and debate the merits of the stimulus package. CNN's chief business correspondent Ali Velshi had criticized Limbaugh's stimulus suggestions, offered on the op-ed page of the Wall Street Journal, and Limbaugh fired back at Velshi on his radio show yesterday, calling Velshi "incompetent."

Campbell had Velshi on her show last night to address Limbaugh's criticisms in a lengthy rebuttal. She then invited Limbaugh to come and debate the stimulus package with Velshi, instead of just lobbying personal attacks on his radio program. We'll see if Rush accepts the challenge.

Watch the clip of Brown and Velshi below.

CAMPBELL BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: But, first, we are "Cutting Through The
Bull."


And, last night, on this program, we spent some time talking about Rush Limbaugh and a piece he had in "The Wall Street Journal" arguing there should be more emphasis right now on tax cuts to help the economy.

Our chief business correspondent, Ali Velshi, came on and took issue with some of what Limbaugh said.

Rush then responded with this today.

2. Good move - big fat coward limpaw is notoriously afraid to debate!

I'd pay good money to see him go up against Bill Clinton, Barney Frank or James Carville.

3. He'll chicken out.

Limbaugh is a big fat moron who has no concern about anybody's opinions but himself. Campbell would school his ass, which is why he won't go for it.
