Isn't it though!
I was reading Rush's stack of stuff and this article was in it. I'm still kind of stunned by the statement about Rove hinting he thought the Wilson affair was a fraud - and that's why the media wants to shut him up.
No wonder it's getting so nasty.
So why didn’t Mr. Bush clean out the dead wood at CIA?
A reasonable guess is that his father warned against it. George Bush, Sr. is a former CIA Director, after all, and is intimately familiar with its ways. He was a GOP Congressman during Watergate, when Mark Felt destroyed Richard Nixon for thwarting his lifelong ambition to succeed J. Edgar Hoover.
Paraphrasing LBJ’s immortal words, it was smarter to keep the CIA inside the tent pissing out rather than the other way around. So George Tenet wasn’t fired, and as far as we can tell, neither was anybody else. Instead, the President met with Tenet every day for five years to get the latest about al Qaeda, and surely gained a deeper understanding of the intelligence maze at the same time.
It reminds me of something a boss once told me. We were talking about the dangers we all face in different aspects of our lives. He said something about rattlesnakes being less dangerous than some other snakes, because although they are poisonous, you could discern their whereabouts because of the rattle on the tail. Sounds to me like this is the same kind of logic that Bush Sr probably passed on to W.
But has Rush gone over this article in detail on-air?
If not, he needs to!
