uh, ‘scuse me for chiming in but I think I can’t shed some light on the “Is he or isn’t he” question. I don’t get to listen to Rush as often as I would like but I did hear him say last Wednesday that a guest host would be subbing on Thursday and Friday. He said he had 15 guests from around the country arriving that evening and the next day for the weekend. Today, I heard most of the first hour and he talked about his busy weekend and mentioned that most of his guests left early afternoon Sunday. So, there you have it, Rush was busy entertaining house guests from last Wednesday until Sunday afternoon. Still, considering the size and scope of his operation and the demands on his time it isn’t likely he has time to post on any website other than his own.

Since Obama first came to national notice at the Dems 2004 convention his consise and smooth oratory style of speaking has been his most consistent and noteworthy trademark. Likewise, when caricatured in political skits he is portrayed as speaking with slow, measured and deliberate answers. So, who is buying it when he tries to excuse away his condescending remarks about Pennsylvania voters to his well-heeled California supporters by saying he "mangled" or used poor "syntax" or that he 'might have said it better' ? He said what he meant and he got caught.
