Are Rush's ratings dropping? Did he feel the need to goose those numbers by drawing some attention to himself with a little rabble rousing? Sorry, but I don't see how the conservative movement is advanced by this kind of schoolyard rhetoric - - - but it does get a talk show host talked about, and I suspect that's what's behind it. Rush doesn't do anything that isn't calculated and calibrated.

Sigh. Why do you have to go and ruin all the fun by being rational. Good post.

"Sorry, but I don't see how the conservative movement is advanced by this kind of schoolyard rhetoric.."

Agreed - it sure gets a lot of like-minded responses here though doesn't it. Everyone trying to outdo the others in expressing their dislike for HRC. A sure way to win the hearts & minds of people, all the while ignoring real issues.

I disagree, partially. I do agree that Rush rarely does anything without forethought, but I heard the segment in question.

Hillary was tossed a softball about the EPA air quality report by perky Katie. Hillary replied something to the effect of "I'll be happy to talk about that later. Today is reserved for remembrance and honoring our fallen." (Excuse the paraphrase, please.)

Hillary then spent six or seven sentences tearing into Bush and the handling of the air quality report (despite saying she wouldn't do that).

Immediately afterward, Rush played a tape of Rumsfeld's remarks at the Pentagon, where Rummy was paying genuine homage to America's patriots - our soldiers.

Rush was incensed, and asked whether Americans wanted to hear Rumsfeld extolling the virtues of those who have sacrificed their lives in service to the country or to hear a "screaming witch" griping about the poor air quality at ground zero, where two years ago today a group of islamic idiots burnt thousands of gallons of jet-A, as well as all of the contents and construction materials in the buildings themselves.

IMO, he was right. Hillary is trying to set herself up to be a candidate for president, and she'll say or do anything to tear into Bush, no matter the occasion or impropriety of her comments.

I did not get to listen to more than 10 minutes of Rush, but I think this was about a perky Katie Couric interview of Hillery this morning. She could not just comemorate 9-11 without stabbing Bush in the back every time she spoke. Today I think that Rush's comments were needed saying. It is time to call these people to account when ever they need it.

Oh come on, Churchill. Rush's comment was incredibly mild, compared to what the 'Rats are saying about conservatives. One of the reasons they're still winnig, despite their minority status, is that Pubbies look at politics as a chess match, while the 'Rats are waging guerilla warfare. It's about time the Pubbies pull their heads out of their proverbial back pockets and start fighting fire with fire. The whole "that would only sink us to their level" stuff is getting really old...I love every salvo The Great One fires at the enemy.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Oh, Buffy, lighten up. Your envy is showing.
