Rush Limbaugh

• November 4 -- Curtain Call for Tom Daschle, "A Man of Decency"
One last loving profile from Sheryl Gay Stolberg on defeated Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle: "The soft-spoken leader has often been described by his fellow Democrats as a man of decency."

• August 2 -- Republicans "Looked Like Bullies" Against Daschle
Sheryl Gay Stolberg writes another fawning piece on Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle's fight to retain his Senate seat in South Dakota: "'Lightweight' is not an expression anyone would use to describe Tom Daschle….Daschle is gentle and soft-spoken....The Democratic leader wound up looking like a victim; the Republicans, like bullies."

• May 25 -- Tom Daschle's Home-Field Advantage: The NYT
Sheryl Gay Stolberg's latest valentine to Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle ponders the propriety of Sen. Bill Frist actually (horrors!) campaigning against Daschle.

• January 13 -- "Soft Spoken, Gentle" Daschle Accused Rush Listeners of Threats
Sheryl Gay Stolberg likens Senate minority leader Tom Daschle to a teddy bear: "With his soft-spoken, almost gentle manner, Mr. Daschle is the rare politician who can go on the attack without seeming snappish; one word often used to describe him is 'decent.'" Rush Limbaugh and fans may disagree.

 

• April 22 -- Physician, Heal Thyself
Times editorial page editor Gail Collins says: “It is really important for the journalistic community to decide how to separate opinions from news.” Fair enough--except the only “news advocate” she names is Rush Limbaugh.
