Rush is playing both ends againstr the middle on the Miers nomination. He is tempering his rhetoric in language whicvh will make it hard to pin him down to a particular point of view in the future.

It's called 'plausible deniability' and Rush does it frequently.

The one Conservative talk show host/analyst/pundit that matters most to the White House and the Republican Party is Rush Limbaugh. I guarantee for you that Rush was contacted by the White House so many times in the last two weeks and that is why he has been "soft" back paddling on his original and vocal opposition to Miers. Expect Hannity and other to follows suite.

He started the ball rolling and now has passed it off for others to whip up the rhetoric.
