Because here is what I think. I think it was a true story and Frist GAVE the interview and when the GOP saw the damage Rush was doing Friday afternoon from 12 to almost 2 AND HOW UPSET HE WAS AND THE FIRST CALLER WAS UPSET WITH THE GOP AND RUSH SAID WHY EVEN BOTHER GETTING RID OF TRENT LOTT, they (gop) called and back tracked and said it wasn't so.If you believe this, then you need to go to the Kiddie Site and play for a while until your political skills are at a novice level at least. There is absolutely NO WAY this happened this way.
Did you hear the President's remarks on Estrada the day before? This is not being decided by Rush driven Senate phone traffic, not a chance.
Frist gave the interview to Fox, maybe he wasn't on the same page as the President.
