Limbaugh threatened two months ago to sue the DCCC, so wheres the lawsuit?By Paul Farhi January 5 at 9:04 PM

Conservative radio titan Rush Limbaugh was so incensed by a Democratic groups fundraising appeals that quoted some of his on-air comments that he took an unusual step: He threatened to sue the group for defamation.
With a high-powered lawyer in his corner, Limbaugh demanded that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Washington apologize and retract its characterization of his comments or else.
Mr. Limbaugh has authorized this firm to promptly commence litigation against the DCCC if it refuses to retract its defamatory statements, wrote Limbaughs attorney, Patricia L. Glaser, in a Nov. 6 letter to the organization.
But exactly two months later, there has been no apology and no retraction. And no lawsuit. Limbaugh and his attorney have said nothing more about the matter, suggesting that their legal threats may have been more talk than action.

The vast majority of lawsuit threats never turn into lawsuits.
The vast majority of lawsuits settle before ever seeing a judge.
