Yesterday was a day of shame and coming out for conservative pretenders, people who used to be thought of as members of the conservative movement.
Rush, Drudge, Tyrell, and others will never be trusted again by conservatives as they go the way of David Frum and Ann Coulter.
We have learned that beyond the establishment battle lines that we knew of, there was a deeper layer among us, a fire wall, Rush Limbaugh and Drudge had to expose themselves to keep Newt from taking Florida, which probably would have broken the Romney campaign.
Already today, now that the debate is over, the rescuing body blow already delivered, Rush is pretending to be back among us, as though yesterday and the previous weeks and months, and the five years of supporting Romney, never happened.
Rush had the chance to stand up yesterday, but he acted as a disinterested spectator in reciting the attacks.
Rush knew better. He was invited to DC by the incoming freshman Congress in 1994 with the Republican sweep. He knew Newt and should have spoken out more than he did.
Tyrrell, Drudge, Dole, Abrams, et al. are nothing more than turncoat traitors.
