You could be right -- Rush was trying to start a questioning and that he did! It also looks like the headline may be have been written ahead of time with a different story line. After Rush found out the facts from Santorum and Hatch offices the story was changed but the person who did the headline didn't change it.

Other scenario -- he wanted to get Republicans fired up which he did!

Not to mention the original article Fox article and what Senator Frist said were at total odds.

On Wednesday morning the President said he was backing Miguel Estrada all the way, the Senate Republicans took the floor Wednesday night and gave some powerful presentations, and then Fox comes out the Republicans had a bad night! The Republican Senate was NEVER backing down and Fox portrayed the story like they were ready to cave.

You all do realize that if Major Garrett had bothered to do some research, he wouldn't have written a bad lead in to the original Fox story. And also would have included more of the comments instead of taking the comment from Hatch about he could lose totally out of context.

Anyone want to blame anyone then put the blame on Fox News Channel and Major Garrett for not bothing to get the facts. Historical vote a quorum call was not. And a cloture vote scheduled for Tuesday was never in the works. And the Republicans did not have a bad Wednesday night! Those are only for starters that were bad from the original Fox article that Rush took off on.

And add to that, Sen. Nelson coming out, not only for the vote to be held, but that he would vote FOR Estrada. The big MO was and is going with the Republicans and I cannot believe this attempt to make us think that black is white and the sky is green.
