Rush just repeated Fred’s statement, and commented, “That statement from the PRESIDENTIAL candidate Fred Thompson”—emphasizing the PRESIDENTIAL. :-)
You did good, Fred. Rush is going to win this situation and you’ve aligned yourself with a winner. Two winners, yay!
You’re absolutely right.
The key to the Republican nomination is to have Rush in your corner. This was a smart move for Fred, as well as being the right thing to do.
I remember back in August 1999, Millie Limbaugh, Rush’s mother was very sick in the hospital (I can’t remember if it was cancer or not). Texas Governor George W. Bush came to the hospital to visit with her privately.
Now, I don’t presume to know Rush’s thoughts, but I can easily imagine how this might have influenced Rush’s opinion of George Bush. In any case, when Bush and McCain were battling it out in the 2000 Republican primaries, Rush was firmly in Bush’s corner. (I’m sure McCain’s campaign strategy had a lot to do with it as well.)
kicked a hornets nest....
Oh Yes, Harry Reid did.
Rush has 3 hours a day to respond, and he has the truth. Its recorded.
Never start a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel, or has 15 hours of airtime on every radio in the country, every week.
