RUSH: This story does not go away. This is from the Hill today, Capitol Hill newspaper. ” House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) is jumping into the debate over American Forces Radio and Television’s broadcast of conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. Democrats don’t want Limbaugh to run on the taxpayer-funded network without parity for liberal talkers. Republicans see nothing wrong with the status quo. The network does not do niche programming; its list lurches across a spectrum of tastes including ‘Hints from Heloise,’ ‘NASCAR Today,’ CNN News Radio and National Public Radio’s (NPR) ‘All Things Considered’ and ‘Morning Edition.’ Though NPR is often accused by the right of tilting to the left, the core of those programs is news, not opinion.”
Maybe Dems will push for [something from Dead Air America] to get time on the network. Feehery said (Speaker of the House Dennis) Hastert will ‘absolutely not’ tolerate tampering with Limbaugh.” Hubba hubba! Well, that makes me feel better. Speaker of the House on my side and I’ve got Ted Stevens on my side and I’ve got Sam Johnson in the House on my side. This is great. It’s amazing. The story does not go away.
