Rush Claims the Appearance of an Impending Obama Victory is Purely Media Driven

Oh puh-lease!  Rush seems to have become increasingly divorced from reality recently.   While it is not unusual for him to ignore inconvenient facts, his persistence in selling his audience rubbish regarding the state of the McCain campaign (despite his well-documented disdain for McCain) does reflect positively on his candor.  Moreover, he hasn't revisit his categorical denial of the problems in the economy spanning July, August and September.  His claims during that time were that the media was merely talking down the economy, irrespective of all evidence to the contrary and despite that fact that Florida, his home state, was an epicenter of the real estate mess. 

Sometimes I wonder why one so willing to call others on their mistakes and foolish statements is so consistently unwilling to apply the same standard to himself.  Rush is far from a paragon of self-awareness.
