Are you serious?
He didn’t mention it for the same reason he never brought up any discussion about the Republican debate in which Rick Perry called people “heartless” for not supporting in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, Rush is in the tank for Rick Perry. Perry would have never jumped in this race had it not been for Rush. Hence all the “warnings” to Bachmann and Santorum not to go after Perry on HPV/Illegal Immigration, the picture of Bachamnn “jumping the shark” on his homepage, and calling Palin’s comments of accusing Rick Perry of Crony capitalism “unsettling”.
Rush will not bring up or allow any caller through that shows Rick Perry in a negative light. It’s been like this since June, so I’m not sure where you’ve been.
You’re exaggerating, and Rush has criticized Perry for immigration. If he liked Perry and not Palin, then Rush would be glad that Palin isn’t running.
