I suspect Rush Limbaugh knew that some of the material would be offensive to a considerable portion of the conservative audience, including his listener base, and decided not to attend. From what I understand, the 700 Club TV broadcast said nothing about the content of the First Lady's speech. Pat Robertson has been burned a few times by his own impolitic remarks and apparently decided to punt on this one. Bill Bennett did some hand wringing about it on his AM talk show yesterday. Michael Savage decided to go ballistic (surprise!) and use it to hammer at his view of "not a dime's worth of difference" between the two parties.

Please. Do you listen to Rush? He's done more than his share of double entendre material. Why he spent an entire hour unable to say a person's last name that was something like Ramshaft or some such thing. He is no shrinking violet.

I still think he was massaging out a cramp he got from trying to work a balky nickle-slots handle.
