42. Hannity will be doing all of Rush's duties
for a while. Let's just hope Hannity can handle the action. Hannity's favorite saying is "Where there is Hope, You'll find dope." Or is it "Where there is dope You'll find hope?"

Bush doesn't even know about the drugs yet because he
doesn't read the papers or watch TV news.

11. If true
it just confirms all I suspect about Bush* He does not like those of other races, including browns and Spanish speaking Caucasions. In other words he is a racist.

49. Rush is a pretty good demagogue. Bush, however, is a sucky one.
Rush will keep his people mesmerized to the end.

Bush? Uh, no.

17. The Ditto head votes are important...morality and principle aside
How do you think Bush got all those red states? He knows that blacks by in large are not going to vote for him anyway. He's taking the right political move...this is now a solid voting block for Bush. He was beginning to lose some of the dittoheads who have lost jobs and who are suffering with this economy and high gas prices and those who have lost loved ones in Iraq. Now he can draw them back to his fold by supporting Rush. It's a smart political move.

32. But this statement will not go over well with the "soccer moms"
and other moderate swing voters. I don't really see this statement as a good thing for bush*. He was going to get Rush's constituents anyway. Now he has potentially lost a key voting block.

It's going to be interesting to see how they play this.

They're the ones that want to prosecute medical marijuana and bongs.

What a wingnut dilemma - I guess they'll first have to drag this out until after the election.

44. I wonder if anyone else noticed
Bush didn't express his support publicly, where it would've been controversial, but via the Drudge Report. That way he was able to get his message to the wingnuts without facing any public fallout. Sounds like a smart move in a Machiavellian kind of way.
