Rush's Example Isn't that Special ...

Like RS Politics over at Red State, I also heard Rush make the point yesterday that Rahm Emanuel's talking points about losing the race in CA were similar to Al Qaida's talking points about the death of Al-Zarqawi.

Here's what Democrat Rahm Emanuel had to say about Busby's loss on Tuesday:

"In an election cycle that is shaping up to be a change vs. the status quo contest, Francine Busby has shown that a strong change message can make even former members of Congress vulnerable in deeply red Republican districts."

... And here are the terrorists about Al-Zarqawi's death:

"The death of our leaders is life for us. It will only increase our persistence in continuing holy war so that the word of God will be supreme."

... Of course, Rush is making the point that the DCCC and terrorists use the same techniques. But guess what?

EVERYONE uses the same techniques.

... The definition of PR is taking a lemon and making lemonade.

This is a non-story ...
