Even Limbaugh said today that the deal doesn't bother him. He didn't exactly backtrack. He was remaining noncommital until the picture became more clear.
Rush has been saying that all week. He has been for this from the start. Compare what he said on Monday to what Hannity and Levin said. You can tell Rush was for this from the start but did not know how to articulate it until later in the week.
If Rush is backing off, there is a reason. Betcha two weeks from now, only the Bush haters will be talking about this.
Translation: Limbaugh is waiting to be told what to say.
This is a total no brainer issue. For anyone here who thinks that having a country that funneled funds for terrorism run our ports is a good idea, just change the name Bush to Clinton and tell me that your feelings would remain the same.
If this issue was out now and Clinton were President, Limbaugh and most here would be screaming impeachment. I don't care who it offends but having a country with ties to terrorism even being allowed to sweep the floors at our ports is asking for a bomb to go off in his neighborhood.
Here in New York we've had quite enough of terrorism to last a lifetime and now the idea to let the United Arab Emirates run the ports here in the very city that has already lost 3,000 lives is nothing short of criminal.
For those of you who feel otherwise, invite Arab countries to run your ports, police forces and firehouses. Hey, what have you got to lose.
