'Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, told conservative host Sean Hannity that talk radio gave Republicans the winning edge in the election. "I thank my father in heaven every day for people like you, Rush Limbaugh and others," Hatch told Hannity.'
Right now Hatch is skirting the edge like McCain as far as playing footsie with the Democrats. And that eery similarity to Senator Palpatine (later the Emperor in the Star Wars mythos) makes me think Orrin would be the last guy to pick up the check. Hatch is definitely the master of behind-the-scenes engineering in Congress now. Won't go so far as to compare the Mormons to the Sith, though. Our Islamericans are filling that role very well. ; )

Per your E-Mail..................................

As I said, "I just wanted to get THAT out", as a reminder that Orrin has run afoul of a number of conservative causes over the years. I was a little astonished by the self-congratualtory mode that nearly all the responces from Freepers gave to Orrin's kiss-up to Talk Radio.

As I also alluded to.....................things can seemingly also go the opposite way, Mr. Hatch.

We are watching YOU, Mr. Hatch; Conservative Talk Radio is a two-edged sword.
