And Rush finally sticking up for conservative principles ...

LOL! Are you serious

Ok, I phrased that wrong. But remember during the amnesty debacle, he wouldn't come out at all against what W was doing. Or what the party was doing to itself. He was against the amnesty bill and was quite eloquent about it. But I was thinking more of before the bill - when most of the other talk show hosts were talking illegal immigration at least every other day. There was a good 6 ot 9 months where Rush spoke about it maybe 2 or 3 times. He was great, eloquent, to the point, and dead on about it. But it was so seldom, I was extremely frustrated. It seemed to me he was trying to NOT say anything bad about the administration, so he said nothing about the illegal immigration problem.

At one point, after the 2006 election, he said he wasn't going to be the GOP waterboy any more and only then was he talking openly. Long, long after all the other hosts.

That's what I meant. He's been conservative all along, no doubt. But he hasn't been open and honest about how the party fell apart.

Emily, I don't remember the diatribe against the GOP during the amnesty debate. But to be honest, I quit listening to him every day when he was avoiding the illegal immigration issue for a good 6-9 months before the amnesty bill. After about 3 months, I went elsewhere. His reality was not the reality I was seeing in Mexifornia. Gladly, that has changed!
