Something about them set off Rush’s BS meter.
It almost seemed like a set-up....Ed kept lamenting that there wasn’t enough coordination between agencies, etc...gee I wonder if Obama’s multi-billion dollar request would help ‘coordinate’ the agencies better.
And they kept using the term ‘FEMA Camp’...and ole Ed started talking about Ebola - and Rush challenged him on that.
The whole call seemed misguided and hyperbolic - would a Diocese really ask their parish to ‘not talk to the media’...and if they did, would they really expect the big secret to not be exposed instantly.
I think they were baiting Rush, and he did a good job of not biting.
You are right about them trying to bait Rush ,and Ed did not sound like a physician to me. The Ebola point was weird. The reason why Ebola is spreading in Africa is because of their burial practices, and their fear of sorcery from medical professionals. If he had used TB as a primary example, I would have given him more credence. He did not sound intelligent enough to be a physician. I think Rush handled them well.
That’s an interesting take - I hadn’t looked at it like that - but maybe you’re on to something.
What struck me is they vexed Rush, who could not put his finger on what was irritating him - because he wanted to like them. But in the end, I don’t think he did.
