be careful

While I agree with her for not accepting the apology, there runs the risk that if this is pushed too hard, he will be able to take the victim position in the public eye.

Rush isn't stupid. He knows how to play the public. You don't stay on the air for as long as he has without knowing how to manipulate.

...think there is a "risk." In fact, I hope she sues the blowhard.
