Rush is starting to lose it again. What is he losing? his "high moral high ground".
Remember when the rushbo started calling anyone who wanted klintoon out of office "kooks". Rush stated that in late 1998: " we might as well let Klintoon finish out his term ( the 2nd one ), for what can he do in his last two years". Plenty, most of us thought. Why is rush givng up?
shortly after this, Drudge broke the Monica story and things changed with rush.
Most of us disagreed, and feared what klintoon could do in his last two years. Everything from stealing computers from the white house, as well as furniture for "their" new house in NY, to his pardoning of terrorists and Mark Rich.
We learned from our youth, the old saw:
It is not if you win, it is how you played the game.
Something else we learned was: If you buy something, and the cashier gives you the incorrect change, for this example, too much money back, you are supposed to tell them, and give them the money you should not have received back. Honesty is always the best policy.
Rush should be an example of this. Instead, he becomes like the democrats, in that winning is everything, no matter how you do that.
The recent example was on the Monday following the not-so super bowl. Not being either a steelers nor a seattle fan, i watched the game, hopefully to see a close, exciting game.
not so. The refs had their pittsburgh filters on. Seattle touchdown, oops, he could not have gotten that wide open without pushing. Throw flag. Look at replay, no pushing.
the steelers touchdown. Their QB ws downed short of the goal line. Filters on: refs- yup, that must have been a touchdown. Oh that body tackle by the seattle QB, that had to be a foul. And, the long ball to their tight end at the one, what was that? Oh! The seattle tackle must have been holding. Well, no, the pittsburg defensive end was about 1 yard offside, but that could not be called.
And so on. It was obvious top anyone who watched the game, there was something fishy going on.
Now to rush. Monday he comes in, and lambastes the seattle fans for whining e-mails, mentioning he may put a filter on his inbasket.
Then he tops it off with, " it's what ended up on the scoreboard that counts.."
A few days later, we also hear that their QB did not think he scored. He told his coach, cowhering, that, and what did cowhering do? Total lack of class- he kept the extra money, from the cashier. He could have asked for another review and told the refs what happened. No, his attitiude was, they give it to me, i will take it.
So much for his being a nice guy and ethical.
So if the demonrats pursue their power at the expense of our country, what is wrong with that? What is the difference between that and winning a tainted super bowl? Or, crowing: "it's what the final score on the board that counts."
Rush lost his credibility again and we now have to put a filter on what we hear from him.
Because of a football game? Who cares?
except it was a touchdown.
and Rush still has credibility.
uhhh...what??
For cryin' out loud quit whining. You're sore at Rush because he's tired of hearing Seahawks fans whine, so you decided you'd whine at FR?
so...because of a commentary...of a football game...with which you do not agree...one of the most influential political commentators of the last 20 years is not to be trusted?
I am more likely to put a filter on what you say, than on what Rush says.
"Rush lost his credibility again and we now have to put a filter on what we hear from him."
Horse Hockey....
Football?
Oh, well.
Oh please! Shout at your radio, not here.
Sniff, sniff. You smell something?
The only known use for "high moral ground" is that it is a very convenient place from which to urinate on those below.
I would prefer to put a filter on you and your incoherent vanity post.
GO RUSH GO!!
Huh?
Give me a break.
the funny part is, the whining is only coming from NON-Seahawks fans.
Get over it already.
Besides this story has completely been blown away by the Gambling story surrounding Wayne Gretzky
Rush loses a lot of credibility by ignoring the illegal invasion and repeating the GOP talking points over and over and over.
"Rush loses a lot of credibility by ignoring the illegal invasion and repeating the GOP talking points over and over and over."
Steaming pile of Horse Hockey...
You cannot be serious
You're basing your opinion of political commentators upon whether they'll join the whinefest or not?
It appears that you are.
Well, in that case, I'm sure there are more than a few leftie loons on radio and television, who will agree with you on this matter of earthshaking importance.

Wait, you expect the quarterback -- who probably had a crappier view by far than the officials with their instant replay -- to, based on his own judgment, give back a touchdown that the referees judged was his? That wouldn't be integrity, that would arrogance and betrayal.
