Mark Levin suggested on Thursday that Mike supported Tom Ridge for VP, or at least, thought that Ridge would be acceptable. I checked the details regarding Levin’s nice, untrue rumor, and here are the facts.
Here is the exact quote. You can hear the audio by clicking here and fast forwarding to 33:12.
“We gotta win Pennsylvania. ‘Well, pick Ridge,’ as if that’s gonna bring
Pennsylvania over. It’s not.And, by the way, I’m talking about Romney, not because I think he’ll win Michigan but because I thought, at least during the campaign, he was one of the more conservative candidates who was left standing, and if not for Huckaphony, uh, protecting his friend John McCain. By the way, Huckaphony attacked Fred Thompson, Huckaphony attacked, uh um, Romney, attacked two of the most conservative guys in the, uh, race. And now he’s getting to decide who’s acceptable and who’s not? Now, Tom Ridge is acceptable to Huckaphony! Tom Ridge, a liberal, who’s pro-choice, is acceptable to Huckaphony, but Romney and Thompson, no! Get out of here!”
Now, the facts, which we’re mostly concerned about on the Alliance, are below.

What? Mark Levin lying and/or displaying his profound ignorance about Gov. Huckabee? Say it ain’t so!
Wow … it almost doesn’t qualify as a story anymore, does it?

I’m going to write Levin once I stop fuming. Beginning a letter, “Dear Weaselface…” is poor form.

I don’t get Levin’s show in this area — at last, nowhere that I know — and I don’t find that to be a big loss. I’ve read enough of his drivel and heard him call into Hannity’s show that I know enough not to be impressed.
And, yes, I think that “Weaselface” is bad form. I commend your self-restraint. ; – )
