Rush OFTEN has trouble remembering names correctly, and of people with much greater visibility and name recognition value than FreeRepublic or Jim.

Were you listening to Rush when he made the comments this morning? It would be impossible to miss the sense of affection he had about this subject.

Or not. As you wish, and if it makes you happier to believe otherwise, knock yourself out.

I heard it too. I wasn't paying close attention and alerted like a bird-dog when I heard ....FReepers are gonna kill me. It was affectionate... kind of like my wife talks about some of my minute and rare missgivings.

And I would not be surprised at all if Rush and others lurked here. I was surprised several years ago, not long after joining FR when a well known politician confided to me that he visited FR to see what the conservative temperature on certain things. In his words, "FR is a good barometer on certain conservative issues."

I say this not to trash rush. He is what he is. But he is a mainstream Republican and never been much of a freeper. This is based on listening to him for a long long time and not just one call.

Rush has one of the best memories around. If he doesn't remember something it is because it is not that important to him.

I would go further and say anyone who can't remember the first name of jim’s son is not much of a freeper. There is no way someone can spend even a minimum amount of time around here and not know those things. Again - I am not saying rush is a RINO. I am just saying he is not one of us.
