Loyalty is Mandatory
Both Rush and Laura went after Hagel today. In addition to bashing Hagel, Rush just flat out lied about the issue. He said the percentage of judges blocked was 50% -- it's 5%. And he denied that use of filibusters has gone on for years, with the Republicans as the precident setters.
Laura made the tactical error of using a sound bite from one of the sunday shows in which Hagel explained that the use of filibusters has gone on for years, with the Republicans as the precident setters. Specifically, 67 of Clinton's appointees were blocked.
Laura's fan club may have been infected by actual truth, while the Ditto Heads were fed a consistent stream of fabrications, lies and bullshit.
