..... Clayton brought up the story again WITHOUT including Rush’s response.......

But Gretchen did and then the list was very thouroughly reviewed. I think you misunderstand the mechanism. He raised the issue and others responded. His cue was to raise it and others to respond.

Gretchen did not include Rush’s response.

They played a clip with the list but she did not include Rush’s response.

At no time did they say that Maureen Dowd wrote a column and Rush was only responding to it.

Gretchen and Brian were not there on Sunday. Gretchen would have brought up Rush’s response if she had been.

Since Gretchen was out of the loop in regards to the interview she couldn’t specifically defend Rush.

She danced around and said “Oh well looks are important” and then they all started making jokes.
