Something Rush said yesterday morning was very telling. He casually reported that Rubio’s staff had called Rush’s staff that morning to get Rubio on the show to explain why his Univision remarks weren’t contradictory.

Rush didn’t let him on, instead he told his audience about the phone call. Very pointed, I thought. Later, when the Grassley amendment was tabled, Rush said it made him sad when people tried to take advantage of him, implying that’s what Rubio had done.

Stick a fork in Rubio, he’s done. There’s no coming back from proving to those who worked to get you elected that, besides having really bad judgement, you actually have no core principles.

Rubio does appear to be in a panic. He got himself onto the Hugh Hewitt Show last night, unannounced. There was a guest host. He was trying frantically to defend this. He sounded like one scared cat.

I heard that...like he was going to come on Rush's show and explain how telling us gringos (and, BTW, having it advertised all over the country for him, that he and this bill are conservative) that it was going to be border security first and foremmost (and that ad is still runnning saying as much), and then telling a spanish audience, in spanish, that making them legal was the first issue, and an uncompromisable issue, before security.

There is no reconciling those two facts and Rush was right to not to let him even try. Rubio is actually tryoing to say its the same thing now because we need the "legal" illegal immigrants to pay for security!

Damning turn of events for Rubio...and thankk God it came out now before we all got behind him for a presidentlial run. Not going to happen now.

Rush didn’t let him on, instead he told his audience about the phone call.

Not to worry though, the Great American Sean Hannity let him on. And of course couldn't quite bring himself to call Rubio a equivocating liar.

[Lancey Howard]

That’s a good take on what happened. Rush could dsetroy Rubio - - or any other Republican - - witha single sentence. If some of those assclowns keep it up, he may just start picking a few off.

Thanks for sharing that info. I didn’t hear that segment. Rush is not blasting Rubio (and perhaps never will), but relating Rubio’s request, and the fact that Rush turned him down, is very telling.

I know that Rush doesn’t have many guests, but having let Rubio shill for this bill on his shown early on, it would be good now if Rush would have Jeff Sessions and Ted Cruz on to outline the real nightmare of this bill. That would be a real service and would also poke Rubio in the eye.

Rush had Rubio on his show, for a rare live interview, sometime back, and was sold. He has the sense, in light of more information, to get unsold. Nothing wrong with that.
