El Rushbo correctly credited FReeper Buckhead for busting Rathergate. Most media talking heads incorrectly credit the Powerline blog. And the guy who runs Powerline (I forget his name) very happily accepts the "credit", by the way.
So far I've only heard three people in the media give the correct credit to Buckhead and Free Republic: Rush Limbaugh, Brit Hume (Fox News) and Boston-based conservative talk radio host Howie Carr (WRKO).
Congratulations, Buckhead! And thanks again for your efforts... :-)
I think Howie Carr is a Freeper.
He uses the term “freep a poll” correctly. Used it last week

Rush’s FR watchers may have alerted him to that thread

What a time that was, my friend.
We chatted about that story when Tony invited a few of us to his studio during CPAC.
Any remember, or hopefully have saved on their hard drive, the cartoon stick figure of a “FReeper” that Rush put on his website years ago?

Rush must have gotten a lot of emails about this because Monday he did credit Powerline.
Good.
Thanks for the ping.
