In the audio link above, I delve into a Washington Times story on Joseph Wilson, the man sent by "somebody" to go to Niger and investigate the British intelligence claim - which they stand by to this day - that Saddam tried to buy uranium yellowcake in Africa. Originally, it was claimed that Vice President Dick Cheney sent Wilson on this mission - which prompted questions since Wilson is a partisan liberal Democrat who supported Algore in 2000 and supports John F. Kerry for 2004.

Everybody says "trust" is the coin of the realm. Well leaking is the coin of the realm in Washington. Washington's currency is information, who has it and who can use it against somebody else. To this end, there is a long-protected axiom of journalism that reporters do not reveal their sources. They?d go to jail before they'd talk.
On the one hand, the press demands to know who the leaker is, demands an investigation because they?re desperately hoping to tie this thing to Bush. An AP story...

Robert Novak's latest column sets straight all the distortions the Democrats and their willing accomplices in the press have used to blow this Mrs. Joe Wilson story up 300 times what it is. Read the story right here, or listen to me read it in the audio link below. It sounds like this Wilson guy is on a legacy quest; according to a Washington Post story saying he's obsessed with his obituary. Everything started with Novak's question: Why was a Clinton administration official with no journalistic...

RUSH: A caller wanted to know my opinion on why Hillary Clinton has been silent, for the most part, on this whole Joseph Wilson business. You can hear our conversation in the audio link below. But basically I think she?s biding her time and letting others do the dirty work here because she doesn't want to field any uncomfortable questions about FBI files and Travelgate and other such Clinton-era scandals.
I think this is a situation where other people are doing the talking and Hil's sort of...

I have - not only on this program, but on the ESPN program - I've been highly critical of Kurt Warner and of the media's unending absorption with the Warner story in Los Angeles. I've said, "Can we move on from Kurt Warner?" He's a white quarterback. There was a little media favoritism with Warner. Never got a comment about it at all. You know, I saw a little bit of McNabb's press conference today, and I think - I just want to say this. I think it's an insult to all these black athletes and...

RUSH: You're probably pretty close to it. I think that especially you're right that these people don't listen. I think they do Nexis searches. I think they get caught up in what has been written about me and others, by critics and people who disagree, people who are frightened. All this is really oriented around the fact that I was right. All this is become the tempest that it is because I must have been right about something. If I wasn't right, then there wouldn't be this cacophony of outrage...

RUSH: You have got way too many things going here at one point, and you're not following the points you make. Answer my question. Of course I've heard of Doug Williams and Dante Culpepper and all the other names you mentioned. What in the world does that have to do with this episode?
CALLER: I'll tell you what it has to do with it. When you criticize Vinny Testaverde or Kurt Warner, do you mention they're white quarterbacks? No. But you make a comment about McNabb being overrated - which...

"This was a discussion on what's wrong with the Eagles and what's wrong with McNabb. And from that, why, you would think that I had gone back and wished for the South to have been successful and everything that goes along with that. I mean, it's literally incredible."
"I was comparing McNabb's reputation on the field to his reputation in the media. The media has portrayed Donovan McNabb as a great quarterback, and they have credited him almost exclusively with the Eagles' success, and I've...

And basically what I said was, as a fan, that the Eagles are here in trouble, that they're 0-2 to start the season and they had not done well, had not shown much potential in either of the two losses - and we were discussing McNabb, and I was as a fan offered the opinion that I, as a fan, don't think he's as good as others have made him out to be. Not that he's a bad quarterback, not that he shouldn't be there, but that he's just not as good as everybody says. And I think his reputation - really...
