Again, Drudge is jumping the gun. He has no scruples whatsoever. Rush hasn't ripped anyone. I am convinced Drudge is posting this crap to get a rise out of people the same way he carelessly posted pieces of the NYT article.

I do agree with you that Drudge has not been as careful as he should be and does sometimes look to be engaged in sensation-mongering (I'm sure his hit count goes up---and thus his bottom line goes up---whenever he posts something that frosts his reader base, i.e., conservatives.) (So if you want to lay some behaviorial modification on Drudge, refuse to click on his sensational headlines, come here to FR and read all about it instead.)

In this instance, however, I think Drudge's characterization of Rush's remarks were more correct than incorrect.

Rush did accuse Bush of a "flip flop," and there was talk on the show of whether this was as bad a "flip flop" as Bush the Elder's "no more taxes" debacle. Myself, I think that's a ridiculous comparison. Global warming is a rinky-dink, totally political-in-the-worst-sense-of-the-word, throwaway issue. Proponents can bleat about it all they want, but nobody is going to take your car away over it.

"Rush hasn't ripped anyone."

I beg to differ, my FRiend. I listen to Rush as often as I can, and I know for a fact that he LOVES Dubyuh and sees him as another potential Reagan...but the Dubyuh we've seen lately on his domestic agenda is not the Dubyuh I voted for. I also like George W. Bush and still believe he's got the potential to be a humongously-successful CONSERVATIVE POTUS. However, if he continues to "hijack the Left's Agenda," he's destined to follow the same political road as his Milquetoast Moderate Daddy!! Straddling the ideological fence don't work with the Right like it does with the feckless and shameless Left!!

Drudge is not jumping the gun. He is rightly ripping Bush for the socialist one worlder that he is. In fact his most appropriate question to date has been: "What's left of the democrat agenda other than abortion that Bush can advance for them?"

Rush hasn't ripped anyone???????? I listened, he spent considerable time, explaining the flip-flop of GW. He doesn't understand the move except in political terms. It is giving ground to the Dims. From now on, no debate will be allowed on the subject of whether global warming is man caused, but only on the way to combat it. Anyone claiming that man-caused global warming is not occuring, will now be marginalized by the press AND the mainstream Republicans. Thanks GW, you are the winner of the popularity contest, conservatives ideals, are once again the losers.

Yeah, and how would you like to invest in blindfolds?

Rush called Bush : George Al Gore.
Rush hit it right on the head. Bush is becomming just like Gore, too. LOL. Oh well, maybe we'll get someone better in in 2004.
