He doesn't have the balls to admit to a single mistake, even wiggling out of the tacky Chelsea Clinton thing. I cannot respect such cowardice, I'm sorry. And then on the air, he denies ever attacking the little kid who spoke about SCHIP or his family, and then in the same breath, 3 seconds later, he apes the boys awkward speech (the result of a partially paralyzed vocal chord). Unbelievable.
As for Reid et. al. being clearly in the wrong, I saw Rush's various remarks about troops who don't toe his line and it goes beyond the one guy he keeps insisting it was all about.

Yes, there were several guys who were/are phony soldiers. ABC news did a special on them and Burkett wrote a book on it. I'm into chapter one so far. 75 pages worth of bibliography, a gigantic index and a list of all service medal awardees from Vietnam as well as a list of all POWs from Vietnam. Regarding Ben Tre, Burkett tracked down the Major in charge of the American detachment in Ben Tre and has correspondance from him re: Arnett's quote - it is Arnett's quote. Interesting bit on Burkett's entry into Vietnam. His dad, a WWII veteran and career Air Force Officer, advised him to not go to Vietnam as he felt Johnson had political reasons for fighting there rather than valid reasons. Burkett agreed with his Dad but felt that he needed to support his country and went anyway. On to Chapter 2.
If you'll include a link to the entire transcript re: Limbaugh's remark that offended you I'd be glad to read it. You'll understand if I won't go with just a snippet of text, I'm sure.
