It is bizarre that Rush did not see this as a "defining moment" at all until Noon on March 18, 2005, just as the tube was about to be pulled by the popular "loving husband." Now, he has a hard time going back to boring GWB initiatives when a poor disabled woman is being tortured before the world.
How can anyone pay attn to GWB right now and anything he is doing? That is what GWB doesn't understand! We all care for Terri and he has done nothing to save her, just makes a remark now and than that he errs on ths side of life. But words are not as strong as action!!
Well, I've not always been the first to pop up on some issues either. So I don't know......
I think for now...iniatives are on the back burner for talk shows.
But he is very passionate about this
He is a voice that's speaking for me/us, on this issue.
And I'm/we're taking all we can get for Terri. ;-)
I think it wasn't clear until then, that the GOP Congress would do anything to try to help Terri. And Rush doesn't seem to be proactive in urging the GOP to take a particular course of action. Instead, he comes in and defends their decisions after they've been made. so, when Congress took action to help Terri, that seemed to be the signal for Rush to start talking about Terri.
I can't figure out any other explanation for his relative silence on the issue before that Friday. He's certainly been good, once he starte on it, though. (Although is he now focused - like Hugh Hewitt - on defending the Bushes for not calling out Judge Greer? I usually can't listen to Rush (at work), so I'm not up on what his current emphasis is)
