I was actually hoping for a Lee Atwater moment for Rush.

That never happened.

And that's all I will have to say about him.

1. Unrepentant to the end

buh-bye, Lush Rumballs

[unblock]

2. Meh. Lee Atwater's regrets changed no one's mind.

[Grokenstein]

3. You mean a last-second "deathbed confession"?

Desperately trying to keep out of the fiery pit because he knew all along that's where his behavior was taking him?

[underpants]

4. I was too.

I listen in and I thought he might have at least a softening but no he was the same old piece of shit he always has been.

[hatrack]

5. Hell, Lee Atwater didn't have have a Lee Atwater moment . . .

EDIT

ED ROLLINS: He was telling the story about how the living Bible was what was giving him faith, and I said to Mary, `` I really sincerely hope that he found peace.'' She said, ``Ed, when we were cleaning up his things afterwards, the Bible was still wrapped in the cellophane. It had never been taken out of the package,'' which just sort of told you everything there was. He was spinning right to the end.
