I listen to Rush. A lot of people heard what they wanted to hear at first. Rush was saying "here is why people are upset" and then he'd lay it out. The upset people thought they heard Rush agreeing with them when all he ever said of his own opinion was that the pick came from a "position of weakness". Rush never said anything to indicate that he didn't think Harriet would be a good judge. Like most of us, he won't make that determination until the hearings.
Exactly, Rush is in a "holding pattern". You'd think some of Conservative pundits would do the same thing.
