Mary Sanchez made a great point about the Rush bust [View all]

She's a writer for The Star. On KC Week in Review, she said the reason the republicans locked the doors and made the Rush HOF induction private was because they knew there would be protesters who would yell things at Rush and HE WOULD HAVE YELLED BACK. And she said what Rush yelled back would have been ugly and created controversy. That would have been a national story and brought all kinds of negative publicity on Missouri.

Makes sense to me.
