Bait and Switch

Bait and Switch

The Republican Talk Radio Machine seemed caught off guard by the ferocity of the questioning he received in Kuwait City, especially the ballistic question from Spc. Thomas Wilson, a scout with a Tennessee National Guard unit, over the lack of adequate armor for guardsmen vehicles being deployed north into Iraq.

Limbaugh was mum when the story broke, and most of the rest said scarcely a word in the face of news reports that belayed their continuing assertions from their broadcast bully pulpits that all is well in Iraq but for the slanted reporting of a treacherous American liberal press. Come the next day, however, they had their talking points in line.
