LS, you might remember that Rush, almost singly in the media, struck a similar pose about the allegations against Richard Jewell and his part in the Olympic bombing in Atlanta. Seems to me his actions, as recounted by you, are totally in character with his previous reservations about Jewell's guilt, which were later proved to be correct.
I recall this well. He was exactly right. Notice, though, that he did not take such a stance with anything regarding the Clintons. I submit to you that in the former case, there was absolutely no reason to suspect Mr. Jewell, and in the latter, there was EVERY reason to suspect the Clintons.
Therefore, it seems pretty logical to me that there is EVERY reason to suspect Mr. Jackson of virtually everything that has been alleged, and probably some things that haven't been alleged, based on his prior behavior. I would think Rush, to be consistent, then, would give little credence to the notions that he "didn't do it." In contrast, I think the Kobe case is much more ambiguous. But the only thing ambiguous about Mr. Jackson is his sexual identity, and, perhaps, race.
