I think you have hit the nail on the head Hound. Why the Obama administration is going after guys like Beck or even Fox News is mystifying and was a very bad idea. First of all it is just cable news and only reaches a few million viewers each night. The spat only inflated their importance. Say what you will about Bush but he never responded to detractors like that for precisely that reason.

As for the phone, I don't know whether it is a prop or not but I am betting its not and why should it just be? He knows they will never call, nor should they. But it is a clever response to the administration's attack of his show and his accuracy. They have no one to blame but themselves and they are responsible for diminishing the office by stooping down and picking a fight with Beck and Fox. Dumb, dumb, dumb.....Even dumber to pick a fight with Rush because he reaches 20 million listeners each week.

As Mark Twain said in the good old days, "Never pick a fight with a man that buys ink by the barrel". If alive today he would coin another equally apropos phrase to cover TV.
