Well, to give things a bit of context, many people in the US were raising eyebrows at the US$40,000,000 price tag of Bush’s inauguration gala when tsunami relief was the watchword on everyone’s lips. I think Rush was trying to draw a (poorly-constructed and ill-though-out) parallel between the inauguration and FC, which is completely and utterly laughable.
And yes, between the AP and huge companies like Gannett and News Corp., the quality of American news is appalling. I tend to gather my national news from National Public Radio, local news from the Chicago Tribune, and international news from foreign sources like the BBC.

What he said made no sense whatever. Claiming people shouldn’t be so happy when there is a Tsunami victims needing help. The corollation was plain stupid. That CON was no different than a masquerade or themed party like they have as Fundraisers (most of the money is spent throwing the party) in Rush’s home town Palm Beach. Yet you will never hear him diss his neighborhood for hapilly flaunting their wealth on lavish parties cause thats not his style. He is a Hippocritical Bastard
In addition I guess I am glad that I am not the only one who notices how all kinds of papers pick up the AP news. This in my opinion has really dilluted the news Americans get. I remember reading the Saturday paper and only 2 issues basically dominated the paper. Tsunami stuff and politics. I went online later that week and found out that there was earthquakes in Alaska and New Zealand, and a cyclonic wind around Madagascaar yet heard nothing not even a blurb about the events in the local paper. Now I am to the point where the news I get is from news delivery to my mailbox. Sheesh the American Newspapers Suck.

A group wanted a ‘Choose Life’ plate, which of course didn’t fly with many proChoice groups.
