I listened to him attempt to distance himself from himself yesterday. What he tried to say was that words are not important, the message is. And if you don't understand the message, the words are meaningless.

Rush is an entertainer with a history of being smart enough to choose material appropriate for his audience. This time he chose very poorly. The faithful will likely buy his obfuscation. But from this point forward, he'd be well advised to untie that other half of his brain.

The truth is a powerful thing. We need more of it.

who had the nerve to call Senator Hagel "Senator Betrayus" for his opposition to the war.

Typical chickenhawk garbage.  They're always the biggest flagwavers and have the most yellow magnets on their cars.

and great job Vote Vets for not taking this lying down.

Rush chose the wrong crowd to mess with.

..I had dinner with Marine Lt. Colonel Andrew Horne.  He's on the Vote Vet board.  Rush made a hell of mistake dissing these guys.  They're a pretty hard nosed bunch and know how to fight back.  According to Horne, after you've been car-bombed some right-wing blowhard just doesn't scare you much.

I'm very proud of these guys in VoteVets.  They're organized and committed to a responsible withdrawal from Iraq. 

There's talk that Horne might take a shot at Mitch McConnell's seat in 08.  If so, he's gonna need the money, but if he can raise the money, I expect he has the best shot at removing our esteemed minority leader and sending him to K Street where he belongs.
