Seems like he was trying to take credit for the President "changing his mind" and coming out against Whitman's report.

Maybe I was reading more into what he was saying, but I don't think so. He was being pretty coy, saying that this time his criticism "paid off."

Rush is now claiming he changed Bush's mind......the gall!!!!

I have to say, Rush does that too often. I like Rush but he often gets too full of himself and thinks he can take credit for anything he mentions on the radio. I've even caught him taking credit for things others have said days prior to his talking about it. Like O'Reilly, Rush doesn't always do his homework before talking.

I do think that Rush thinks he is so powerful that he can bend President Bush to his way of thinking. Rush is a egotist in my opinion and I don't listen to him.

This is life:

Bush is to blame,
Keyes will save us all.
Rush gets the credit

That's exactly what Rush was doing---taking credit for changing the President's mind when the President never changed his mind, not when the report was released, not after.

Even Mara Liaison (sp?) says so.

I thought that parody stunk and that, once again, Rush was rude to a long-time listener. Somebody who has been listening to Rush for ten years, as the caller says, doesn't turn on him on a dime. But Rush sure does.

Obviously Rush does not agree with his longtime listeners' criticism, but that does not justify his "don't-let-the-door-bang-you-on-the-butt-when-you-leave" attitude.

He is growing increasingly arrogant. He said that peace through victory was the Limbaugh Doctrine, that he was responsible for defeating universal healthcare, and now this. I live Rush, but c'mon!
