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.
