And his predecessor, Tom Daschle, it seems to me, was kind of cut from the same mold. In other words, I guess my question to you is, do you think there\u2019s a concerted effort on the part of the Democratic Party to put forth someone who has that persona, kind of a Wally Cox-Mr. Rogers kind of impression that they make to diffuse &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; the message or to soften the message?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, I think that\u2019s part of strategery. But you have to understand how these guys end up being chosen leader, and it\u2019s not because of that. They are chosen leader because they are the most partisan people in the Senate. Daschle was the most partisan Democrat in his day. George Mitchell was the most partisan man in Washington during his day, but he\u2019s (Rare George Mitchell impression), &#8216;Uh, mild-mannered, and soft-spoken and very, uh, uh, intellectually competent.\u2019 Daschle, that was a great example, and Dingy Harry is the same way. I think it\u2019s a studied thing.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughs)<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I\u2019ll bet those guys yell plenty when they\u2019re behind closed doors, and they speak up plenty. You\u2019re right, but they are chosen because they are the most partisan people in the Senate that will take the gig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Ed in Knoxville, Tennessee, nice to have you, sir, on the EIB Network.
