Im surprised that this is on the washington post website.

WaPo spins it appropriately - not a mention of Obama or political protection of the regime, or crony-capitalist nature of stimulus. Focus solely on “corporate” misdeeds.

Rush was saying that she found a second fiber optic line in her home that was put in without her knowledge.

There is much more to come out. I am sure of it.

Exactly. A quote from her book:

“When she pressed Eric Schultz, White House Deputy Press Secretary, on Fast and Furious, Schultz screamed, “Goddammit, Sharyl!...The Washington Post is reasonable, The LA Times is reasonable, The New York Times is reasonable. You’re the only one who’s not reasonable!”

We’ve been through this before, as a I recall - newly realizing that the media is rabidly partisan in favor of the commies. The next phase is for them to deny it. Then a bunch of communists get replaced with new communists and it’s business as usual until we “discover” the media is biased all over again.
