I was out delivering papers most of the day Friday (not the Outpost but Montana Senior News -- anything to make a buck) and listened to commentary about Rush Limbaugh nearly all afternoon. But that was mostly garbage. The best line of the day had nothing to do with Rush. It was former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright commenting on the Bush administration's policy toward other countries. "Hubris," she said, "is not a policy."

As for Rush, The Weekly Standard has a thoughtful piece (courtesy of Jackie Corr) about the larger implications of the issue. And this piece in Slate says that Rush was right and is being punished only for having the courage to say what others dared not.
