Interesting that even Mr. Rusher didn't pickup on the fact that the quotes the Kennedy ascribed to CAP were actually satirical....
Of, if he did...that he didnt' include that fact in this article.

Pursuant to the Library's rules, Kirkpatrick asked my permission, which I cheerfully gave. In a subsequent article in the Times, he acknowledged right up front in the second paragraph that "there is no evidence that (Alito) played an active or prominent role" in CAP. The rest of the article described CAP's activities and concerns, which were exactly what you would expect of a group of conservative alumni. I guess it's safe to say that Raplh Nea's and his loons don't read the New York Times?

I have followed Mr. Rusher's career down through the years; and, IMHO, Rusher's terse comments are a classic example of noblesse oblige.
Ted Kennedy is beneath contempt. But more importantly, the fact that Senator Kennedy can continue in office, term after term, is indicative of a more serious problem--the corruption of an electorate by the promise of trinkets and beads from government.
I suspicion that the mere mention of a demagogue of Kennedy's proportions, even in print, is extremely distasteful to a man of Rusher's accomplishments. I think it's really a case of a gentleman not wanting to descend to the level of a dissipated, not to mention a criminal, opponent.

I noticed he didn't mention the article was satire.
