"I think this was in reference to Lott and Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld had the gonads to address military problems which not only affect us today but in the long term. Like Bush, he didn't care what was thought of him in his actions, he was a leader doing what needed to be done. Lott was/is attempting to asses blame on his own problems/inabilities to lead on Rumsfeld rather than blaming the liberals for what they are and what they did.

You're right. I should have included this part of his commentary also, because it makes that point clear:

Rush: "Instead of piling on Rumsfeld, why don't you and the Senate leadership get together and realize it's the Democrats in the Senate who are the enemy, and not Rumsfeld. That it's Al-Qaeda who is the enemy, and not Rumsfeld.

And just because McCain decides to fly off the cliff for personal reasons doesn't mean you have to follow him. ...."
