The junior Congressman From Clear Channel has been notably silent during the uproar over rightwing talk show host Rush Limbaugh's attack on U.S. troops who oppose the White House's misadventure in Iraq as "phony soldiers."
Now Rep. McCaul's brother-in-law, the CEO of the company that broadcast Limbaugh's diatribe, is defending the indefensible.
"It would be unfair for me to assume his statements were intended to personally indict combat soldiers," said Mr. Clear Channel, as quoted in part by Fox News.
It's time for Mike McCaul to come out of hiding and tell us whether he stands with Rush Limbaugh and his in-laws -- which include the Chairman, the CEO, and the President of Clear Channel -- or with the brave men and women who are defending Limbaugh's right to broadcast such irresponsible statements.
