Nothing on FNC or Rush.

Not surprising in Rush's case. He often waits until things solidify a bit before commenting. I think he doesn't want to step into a story like this that hasn't been corroborated. Not being critical, but I have noticed this tendency with his show.

Update 3:15pm Eastern: I just heard from Mr. Plotkin that Bautsch and her boyfriend were NOT wearing Palin pins.

Exactly. The NOPD or Governor Jindal will have to first speak before any news outlets will repeat the story that the attacks were caused by the victims wearing Sarah Palin pins.

Good to verify. . .Michelle Malkin has reported now; having waited herself to authenticate; that they were not wearing 'Sarah Palin' pins.

That's why I like Rush. If he doesn't comment, the facts aren't all in. And often, when he's suddenly away, a story will break that day, the next, or perhaps after. Then he comes back after the dust has settled to weigh in. I'm convinced he has well-placed sources that tell him when an important story is about break. He goes away, see how things settle after a bit, catches how the LSM is spinning it, then goes on the air with his opinion.
