Fair criticism about the wife - (but don’t think that won’t come up down the road) - I had just had it with the forty millionth iteration of Newt’s three wives.
Now, I’ll point out the two main days I was referring to: but keep in mind certain thing are really beyond dispute and we operate within the confines of 900-1000 words give or take for these editorials:
The biggest clearly pro Newt day was the Tuesday of the week of the SC primary when almost the entire three hour show was a Newt infomercial with many repeated replays of the standing ovations from Monday night’s debate. After that day, I thought Rush might be leaning Newt (but I changed later).
The biggest pro Mitt days were after the Bain Capital attacks started, and Rush defended Mitt and capitalism.
The thesis of this article was that while he said good things about all candidates at times, he never said anything bad about Santorum. He also let it be known that his personal email buddies preferred Santorum and he also had that excerpt I put in the article.
I still think he will have buyers remorse, and in fact he pulled back somewhat today and actually said very little about anyone but Obama today.
I guess we’ll see.
All you did was post smarmy innuendo and then run.
And, since when is Santorum's wife's past (or any candidate's spouse's past)pertinent to that candidate's ability to effectively run the country?
You are trying to ennoble your own sewer cruise. You should remember --- anyone who swims in the sewer comes out smelling like shit.
I don't know about that. He may have spent less time talking about the individual candidates yesterday, but this line from Rush was so reminiscent of Chris Matthews' thrill up the leg that it actually made me uncomfortable:
RUSH: "I agree with you, I think conservatism is in Santorum's bodily fluids, and, because of that, he's able to articulate it without thinking about it."
Now, how could Rush possibly not support someone who has "conservatism in his bodily fluids"? Yikes.
