You’re right about Medved, and I presume, Malkin.

Rush, OTOH, I don’t think, would shy away from this issue.

What makes me pay attention is the fact that none of Townhall’s 60 commentators has picked up the meme. No one from NRO. And that includes Tom Sowell, Victor Davis Hansen or even Frank Gaffney.

It may be that they don’t consider it part of their area of interest, or they don’t see it going anywhere.

Again, I point out, the frenzy is on the free and easy blog, where there is no accountability. And I point out that even many of the responsible posters on FR are missing from the threads that take up this issue.

I’m sure Rush is watching the BC issue closely and has an opinion, but he’s not going to lead the charge. The problem is there’s a good chance that there’s nothing there, that Obama is legit. The best argument for pursuing the BC issue is about process, not about outcome per se. It’s a subtler argument but it’s enough to get you grouped with the people who are white knuckles positive that Obama is hoaxing the country. It’s not worth the risk, so everyone’s going to sit back and watch while those with nothing to lose, like Alan Keyes, do the dirty work.

I think Diana West still has a column on Townhall. I just checked her site and followed a link about this case to Atlas Shrugs—couldn’t open it. This has happened before.

Or perhaps, if pursued, this issue would make our entire political system rightfully look like a laughingstock. Talk about a Banana Republic. This issue is just about as ridiculous and far-fetched as pinning hope on Palin.
