“Rush did not defend Palin, he explained why she endorced McCain...Like it or not.”
Wrong. Listen to it. He DID defend her...He said that she really had no alternative without looking like a disloyal ingrate.
NOT true. I read the transcript. Rush's words:
"And I hate to put words in Sarah Palin’s mouth because I’m just guessing and I’m neither defending nor criticizing, I’m just observing and I think I understand why she’s doing this."
He's doing what Rush does best...analyzing the situation.
