- yeah, right... time constraints... any professional in the biz.. etc.
- I'm amazed. Someone really thinks these sort of "accidents" come from
- Rush by accident? Rush has never seemed too restrained by good taste
- before--isn't that part of the appeal of the show, being a little bit
- outrageous?
-
- And if it was really an accident, well... do you think he'd let it go to
- air that way if it was Marilyn Quayle's face switched with the dog?
- I'd be really surprised.
-
- Rush is a lot of things-- entertainer, tireless campaigner, satirist--
- but I don't think sincerity is at the top of his roster.
