[Mr. Thorne]

Well, while Rush was on, I was reading the posts here, and there were a couple quoting that article.

Needless to say, I placed calls. To Hatch, Frist, and my own Senators.

All said they're gonna see this through. Twenty minutes after talking to Hatch staffer, Rush says he's getting calls from Hatch office, saying story's wrong.

Oh well. Gave me a chance to suggest the 'shun linda dashle strategy.' Guy at my senator's office said a couple people had suggested that. Who knows?

The point is, Byron York had the "the story is wrong" story on the NRO website LONG before Rush ran with it. Look, Rush can't read or see everything, but this is two days in a row that he had a story that was either wrong or retracted (he had some challenges on the Maine National Guard story).

I think ANY story that suggests the Republicans are "spineless" needs to be triple checked, because there is a rumor mill, often fed here at FreeRepublic, that LOVES to portray the GOP as "caving." Estrada will be confirmed.
