These 42 minutes are loaded with unnecessary gas, you can skip the first twelve minutes and miss almost nothing. But bottom line, and I stand by it firmly: Rush only repeats the attacks and claims to be shocked! shocked! and he does not dispute them AT ALL.

I read the entire transcript of Rush's show last night, and I believe you have described it accurately. Rush did NOT defend Newt on any of the specific attacks, except to say that he didn't remember that time period the same way. But as he repeated each accusation, he didn't knock them down, and then seemed to agree that the tape excerpt was accurate instead of mitigating it with the later comments where Newt defended Reaganism.

I was very disappointed in Rush -- sick to my stomach - and left wondering what he thinks he's doing.

Thank you! Rush collected all the “impeccable source” manure, loaded it into the spreader and covered the enormous field of his audience with anti-Gingrich crap.

It’s what he does not say that is most telling. He does not say anything in Newt’s defense.
