>> Except this is not really true <<
Looks as if Rush has joined the tinfoil-hat gang. He ought to leave this kind of nutty stuff to Alex Jones and Michael Savage. Very sad to see what appears to be the decline into irrelevance of a once-great man.
Yup, I am pretty disappointed in Rush for marching down tinfoil hat lane on this one. Even his headline is ridiculous considering the Hussein regime didn't "grab" any power. It can hardly be considered some kind of power grab when the opposition party (in this case the GOP) supports and voted FOR the President to have this authority.
If as you say this is “nutty stuff”, then please explain this video.
