Interesting turn of phrase...

The article in the Washington Post on Sarah Palin's move to Faux Fox "News" includes a remark attributed to Todd Harris, GOP strategist. "This gives her a platform she can use to stay relevant, to stay in the public eye and to flush out some of her policy positions." I find the use of the word "flush" curious. Perhaps he meant "flesh out", but I have not been able to find any evidence that the Post has misquoted him. Frankly, I think "flush out" is an unintentionally apt way to put it.

...because news anchors get elected to public office more frequently than governors? I'm not seeing the logic here.

Think of the influence thate Beck & Limbaugh have over the GOP-even if neither of them make it to any kind of office, they're setting the message for a large segment of the GOP base.
