There is one thing that gives me a lot of hope, here:

Secretary Rumsfeld ABSOLUTELY heard that slip of Hillary's, WE all heard it, and are aware of his reply to her.

I have a great deal of confidence in Secretary Rumsfeld. He has been around a VERY long time, knows VERY many people, and can accomplish VERY much. Secretary Rumsfeld has allies, including President Bush. I do not underestimate his power.

If ANY person in this country has the ability to defang the beast, HE does.

I'm praying for him. He deserves every iota of our support, because he's going to need everything he has to do what needs to be done. After his comment, and hers, does anyone doubt that this battle is about to begin?

In Rush's Friday show, he made a very interesting comment about Hillary's statement:

In the first part of Hillary's question, right before we came out of the break, she was saying that you don't need these pictures to be revulsed. That just reading descriptions of these pictures is enough to revulse anybody.

I'm going to tell you, folks. Mark the date, May 7th, 2004. She and others who say that are going to regret that they said it. I will say no more. I'm just telling you there's a good chance that if we learn all there is to know about this, that describing this as revulsing is going to be really offensive to some people.

Anyone care to opine on what Rush meant?

You are absolutely right. Rummy HEARD Hitlery LOUD AND CLEAR. His comment to her spotlighted it and put it in big bold print.

I strongly believe this this is not the last time he'll be considering her statement, and his complete abhorrence of leaks is well known.

I'll be really, really surprised if the tracks of those liable for this criminal leaking can get away with it this time.

Good points, Judith. I like your optimism!
