      Rush is going to tell us about how this health care bill is antithetical to Kennedy's memory?

      Man, un-freakin-believable.

        Any signs of an apology yet?

          Nah, probably not going to come I'm sure. I might see one in the Paris Business Review though.

      Also, the main reason el Rushbo is uncomfortable talking about Kennedy's politics is, he doesn't know anything about them, like most conservatives.

      How uncommonly decent of him. I may owe Fairlib that apology yet. (Of course in saying so, I'm granting her far more of the benefit of the doubt than I'll ever get; But that's what PRINCIPLED people do: They treat others they we they want to be treated, not they way they are treated.)

      Hey, Rush, why would you care about Ted Kennedy's memory?

        My thought exactly. I've never heard Porky say a kind word about Kennedy in the past.

        This is just Porky displaying his usual hypocrisy.

      Didn't he say just a bit before this that Kennedy was the lion of the Senate and we were his prey? Nah. Rush isn't comfortable talking about his politics.

      The watered down Senate bill with co-ops instead of a real public option is indeed an insult to Kennedy's memory.

      He didn't call Kennedy "the Swimmer" today, like he usually does? And on his website he won't post a photoshopped picture of Kennedy in a swim mask?

      Rush showing a shred of decency, such that he can?
