Limbaugh drug story a red herring diverting attention off of Wilson Story.

[Postman]

A Rupert Murdoch owned paper publishing a "controversial" story about a political ally at such a precarious time for the Bush administration surrounding the Wilson-CIA affair is quite obvious.

Allows Limbaugh to run interference for the fascist crooks in the White House.

1. Nothing but a red herron!

Unfortunately, anyone who thinks TRAITORGATE is going away is a fool.

[BrendaStarr]

2. I dunno. Remember how Bush and Cheney were accused

of corporate malfeasance in the summer of 2002?

Where is that now?

[screaming_meme]

6. Never mind that

What about Bush Knew, Niger Uranium, BinLaden and Carlyle Group, yada yada yada. The media always treats this criminal with kid gloves.

[diplomats]

3. I don't think it's going anywhere, either

Besides, the Enquirer is hardly a mainstream news source.

4. I do think you're on to something, though

because Drudge calls this a "media assassination" of Rush.

[jonoboy]

8. drudge ??

"media assination"..he should talk.

this story won't work if its meant as a distraction..Liberals will see it for what it is and Republicans won't want to know about it.
Let 'em keep throwing up 'distractions' ..liberals just have to get a bit smarter about using the media.

[diplomats]

9. I thought it was an example of the pot calling the kettle black, too

I was just wondering if this is a precursor of what Rush's defense will be.

[haymaker]

5. The Limbaugh comments are a diversion themselves.

Perfect timing. Trying to keep this k-drags distracted.

7. nope, this was a house keeper with a wire

supposedly working for the cops, this story is credible enough for the NY daily news to run.

We'll have to hear what she picked up

[Bozita]

10. Limbaugh will hold the spotlight while Traitorgate slowly goes away.

High-profile Pigboy can easily hog the attention.

But IMHO, it won't work. Traitorgate is simply too big.

11. that or are they doing a hatchet job

on Rush before he develops a conscience.

Tin foil hat moment, yes tight good.

Rush knows some embarrasing details that could land him
in front of a grand jury, regarding the WH... you do the
hatchet job, even if it is not true... credibility goes
down, (after all who listens to druggies?)

It serves a secondary role of running interference.
