This is from Rush on yesterdays (Wednesdays) show. His take on why the liberal blogs, the liberal media, the liberal pundits are all silent on the revelation that Armitage is the leaker?  

CALLER: I am the best I can be, at two things. I called about the Valerie Flameout case. I have about two six-hour tapes of Wilson and Rove impeachment, special prosecutor and Libby, and I got five and one half minutes Monday on the truth about the CIA leak case, not one minute of Matthews eating crow or anything else. I’m just wondering, do you think Isikoff could have rolled that story out Monday, knowing it was going to get rolled under by Katrina this week?

RUSH: No, no. They’re trying to sell books. Liberals are liberals first, they like money as much as anybody else.

CALLER: Well, they rolled it out on a terrible week and I haven’t even seen Corn out at all.

RUSH: Well, he’s been out there. You have to read certain things. The problem is not Katrina. The problem is that this sweeps away the foundation of everybody’s theory. You know, there’s a blog site out there called the Huffington Post, and the Huffington Post — some people call it the “Puffington Post;” I don’t pay enough attention to it to even give it a trick name, but it has practically lived on posts from wackos who were convinced that Rove was going to be indicted and that Rove and Cheney and Scooter Libby and maybe even Bush were going to be indicted, Bush impeached and so forth. Now it’s Armitage and the whole thing has done a flameout.

The reason you’re not hearing about it is because it didn’t go where all these leftists had pinned their hopes. It’s just the latest in a long line of lies that they have told themselves. Matthews hasn’t done anything on it because, A, Katrina is an opportunity to beat up Bush, but B, there’s nothing here to do. Here are the questions for you about this. The questions about this are: Where are the media dogging Richard Armitage? Turn this around. I mean, look at how long they hung around Rove’s house. They were dogging Rove. They were following Rove all over the place. Media hordes followed around Scooter Libby whenever he left the White House.  
 
Now we know it’s Armitage. Have you seen one reporter sidle up to Armitage and say, “Why didn’t you say anything sooner sir?” Poke a microphone in his face, “Have you seen anybody stake out Colin Powell?” “Secretary Powell, you knew this much sooner than we knew you knew it, you knew this much sooner than anybody else knew it. Why did you remain silent?” Have you seen any of that? You haven’t, and you won’t. You won’t see any of that because this is a disappointment. The air has been let out of the tire here, so to speak, but there’s no anger at Armitage because, you see, the thing worked! As far as Matthews and the boys are concerned, it worked.

I cited the polling data that’s been going on, ABC News, Washington Post, Pew Center for people in the press, 68 to 72% of the American people think that Bush did something unethical, that they were attacking Joe Wilson’s wife and Joe Wilson himself and it was all to get even with them because they had tried to sabotage or criticize Bush’s war policy, so as far as the Matthewses of the world are concerned, it worked. Bush’s poll numbers were driven down, is considered unethical. Bush, Cheney, and Rove are considered to be conspirators and mean-spirited and they try to destroy their political enemies. The Bush administration considered to be at the very at least unethical. So as far as they’re concerned, it worked.
