Thanks much. You really had me going at the beginning - partly because I don't think that Sean comes close to standing up to Rush, and because I lost a lot respect for Sean during the Trent Lott affair. At that time, when Rush was basically cutting Lott loose after his words at Strom Thurman's (sp.) 100th birthday party, Sean was still defending Lott (by bringing up Robert Byrd's past, and other examples). I never liked Lott to begin with (Frist is much, much, better), and I agreed with Rush that if Lott is going to say something to the effect that segregation should have been kept in force, then Lott had to go - regardless of the histories of any Democrats.

But, overall, I still like Sean - it's just that he's not quite up to Rush's level.

In any case, your posting is excellent.
