I prevoiusly stipulated that Rush was a masterful communicator, I just said that he's not as smart as he would have us believe.

As for me, I'm perceptive enough to recognize that he passing off Rex Stout's words as his own, and smart enough to know that most Iraqis are Arabs (See Reply #31 above).

He messed up with one statement.
From the World Almanac:
64.5% Arab
23% Kurd
5.6% Azerbaijani
1.2% Turkmen
1.1% Persian
4.4% other

If you heard Rush mention that Iraqi's were not Arabs then you should have heard him correct himself after the very next break, about three minutes later, say that he knew that Iranians were Persians and that he made a mistake.
