I do agree with you that Drudge has not been as careful as he should be and does sometimes look to be engaged in sensation-mongering (I'm sure his hit count goes up---and thus his bottom line goes up---whenever he posts something that frosts his reader base, i.e., conservatives.) (So if you want to lay some behaviorial modification on Drudge, refuse to click on his sensational headlines, come here to FR and read all about it instead.)
In this instance, however, I think Drudge's characterization of Rush's remarks were more correct than incorrect.
Rush did accuse Bush of a "flip flop," and there was talk on the show of whether this was as bad a "flip flop" as Bush the Elder's "no more taxes" debacle. Myself, I think that's a ridiculous comparison. Global warming is a rinky-dink, totally political-in-the-worst-sense-of-the-word, throwaway issue. Proponents can bleat about it all they want, but nobody is going to take your car away over it.
Agreed, I don't think this is as great a sin as a 'meat and potatoes' issue like taxes.
Drudge is looking to stir things up on a slow summer newsday in June.
Nobody will take your car over this issue?? That's what they're doing right now! CAFE standards, SUV demonization, California-mandated electric car production, are just the beginning. The more this "theory" (actually, religion) takes hold in people's minds, they will take your car away!
