"They didn't believe us"

Democratic Senator Harry Reid and his staffers demand that the Pentagon pull Rush Limbaugh from Armed Forces Radio. Oooops: "That Democrats had not done their homework became clear on Wednesday, when Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid had his staff call over demanding that the Pentagon put liberal radio hosts on Armed Forces Radio. The problem: Armed Forces Radio already broadcasts extensive shows from National Public Radio, as well as the Ed Schulz radio show."They didn't believe us," says a Pentagon staffer based in the media affairs office.Retired Gen. Wesley Clark was also unaware that Schulz and NPR were staples of the military's entertainment and information broadcasts. And Clark headed the NATO command."

And some say George W. Bush is dumb. Sheesh!

The irony this time

Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin has been one of those on the Senate floor blasting Rush Limbaugh the loudest. He even wondered aloud if Rush was "high" on his "drugs" when he said it. Which, as Jim Geraghty noted, is supreme irony:

What's really amazing about Tom Harkin's comment about Rush Limbaugh, speculating "maybe he was just high on his drugs again" is that it comes literally in between a statement that Rush saying something "provocative" is "despicable", and a subsequent sentence urging people to listen to "more responsible talk show hosts."

Another bum rush for Rush

Rush Limbaugh's opponents are after him again--and again unfairly.
He makes a comment about one soldier, a soldier who apparently has indeed been proven to be rather dishonest--and so he's supposed to be attacking all soldiers who criticize the war? Come on; this is worse than usual.
