Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 247 Podcast.
Amidst billowing clouds of fragrant aromatic first and second hand cigar smoke.
I am Rush Limbaugh from the EIB Southern Command.
Broadcast Excellence is all yours.
Straight ahead the next three hours from the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
It's great to be with you, folks.
Our telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, is 800 282-2882 of the email address is uh rush at EIBNet.com.
I have to tell you a funny story.
I I had that's that's marginally funny.
I have one of those weekends where I didn't have to do anything I didn't want to do.
I were no obligation, zilch zero nada.
I could sleep when I wanted to sleep, get up when I wanted to get up, do what I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it.
Uh and I haven't had a weekend like this, and I can't tell you how long.
And one of the things I decided not to do, I decided not to shave.
That's freedom.
That is to not have to shave.
So I walked in and I I've got about three days' growth here on the uh on the face.
I've been noticing all these guys on television with the you know weak old beards that's become fashionable.
So I walked in there.
Well, Dawn was having lunch.
I said, uh explain the story.
I said, Dawn, do you uh no, I'm not going for the Mullah look.
No, no, no, no, no, not not at all, not at all.
I walked in, I said, Don Dawn, do you do you like the way this looks?
He said, I think you need your club gitmo cap.
And then she went on to tell me that she's the kind of girl that likes a clean shaven face because otherwise uh she gets uh whisker burn.
And I said, Oh, you still kiss your husband.
That that's excellent to know.
And she just sort of just sort of laughed.
Lookie here, folks.
Uh the European Union has issued a new ruling, a new a new warning, essentially.
Uh European Union states that have not adopted EU rules, European Union rules aimed at reducing noise in crowded cities, will face court action if they fail to act soon.
According to the executive who runs the European Union.
I'm wondering if this ban on reducing noise or this this rule aimed at reducing noise includes Al-Qaeda bombs.
Idiots.
It just it it just uh with all the things that are going on, global warming here, global warming, there, all the things that are going on.
They're worried about noise at the European Union.
And I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that no Al-Qaeda bomber in any European Union nation will ever brought up on charges of violating noise standards.
You want to bet, Mr. Snurkley?
It'll never happen.
They'll go out and get the average run-of-the-mill citizen honking his horn or doing some such uh thing, and that'll be it.
Got a great email here to share with you folks.
Dear Rush, greetings from Camp Ramadi here in Iraq again.
This is the guy who uh sent us a picture, uh, sent a great email in, and we sent him some club gitmo gear.
We sent him a whole bunch of club gitmo gear.
He says, Greetings from Camp Ramadi here in Iraq again.
We received your generous shipment of Club Gitmo apparel and Jihad Java coffee mugs in fine order here today.
Suffice to say, these items were used to officially inaugurate the grand opening of Club Gitmo East here in Iraq.
I've enclosed with my email a picture of our opening ceremony complete with soldiers both on duty and off, enjoying some of the finer elements of life that many Americans partake in back home.
Organized softball that we play in a real sand lot, uh one whole golf course complete with all the bunkers you can play, courtesy of the incoming mortars that make the most wonderful craters to play out of.
What a what a great joint venture the uh insurgents have done for us by creating such a marvel with their measly bombs.
It's a win-win situation.
He goes on to describe how serious the war effort is, though.
Uh and once again, thanks us for the uh Club Gitmo gear.
And and uh this is uh First Sergeant Paul Joseph uh of the 983rd Engineer Battalion, Camp Ramadi, Iraq, now been renamed Club Gitmo East.
He said, P.S. Since we are championing freedom and the freedom of speech, feel free to use my name and a unit as needed.
We are neither ashamed nor won't deny what the truth is ever.
Also, uh it would appear that I cannot attach the picture of us in our club Gitmo shirts on this email, so I'll go back to your webpage and link it through your site wanting pictures.
Just look for Club Gitmo East.
So uh we will find them.
We'll post those uh on the website as uh as soon as we get them.
Uh you have audio sound by 16 and 17 yet, Mr. Broadcaster.
You do.
All right.
Oh, by the way, before we get onto the audio sound bites.
The uh the general manager at Club Gitmo, the real Club Gitmo, has been uh uh he's either been promoted to another hotel on the chain or he's been fired.
I'm I'm not sure which.
The general manager of the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo, Club Gitmo was relieved of his duties yesterday after he was accused of inappropriate management practices, according to a Navy spokesman.
This is Captain Leslie McCoy, who had commanded the facility at Gitmo since March of 2003.
He was the subject of an investigation into inappropriate personnel and administrative practices unrelated to the base's detention camp, uh, also known as Club Gitmo.
Uh Captain McCoy was relieved of his duties by the CEO of the Club Gitmo Corporation, Rear Admiral Annette Brown, um, who had lost confidence in his ability to effectively lead.
So our guests at Club Gitmo are going to get a new general manager.
Uh things things keep hopping.
And by the way, there's this.
Four dangerous enemy combatants have escaped from the main U.S. base in Afghanistan.
This is at Bagram Air Force Base.
A huge manhunt was launched north of the Capitol Kabul after the men escaped at about uh 0500 at five o'clock in the morning for those of you in uh Rio Linda.
Uh the U.S. says it's the first time any prisoner has escaped from Bagram.
No doubt they're headed to Club Gitmo.
They've heard about Club Gitmo and they've escaped Bagram, and they're trying to get into Club Gitmo.
And I I'm sure they'll find transport.
Um they've heard of the Club Gitmo gear.
They want their own jihad Java coffee mugs and all the other goodies that uh that guests at Club Gitmo receive.
Absolutely free of charge, by the way.
And I don't know if you knew this about Club Gitmo, but the guests at that resort do not even pay for their lodging.
You and I do.
Uh, it's a great place.
We're paying for their food and and all of the amenities that they get at Club Gitmo.
And it's not a surprise to me.
Uh uh, ladies and gentlemen, that uh uh that prisoners uh at U.S. bases around the world would want to escape and get to Club Gitmo.
So it appears that's happened uh in Afghanistan.
Look at this headline in the Los Angeles Times.
This is funny, and it's because it's so typical.
List of missing is as diverse as London itself.
The attacks unite the multicultural city in anger and grief.
These criminals are the enemies of all of us.
A Muslim leader says, here's a story about the diversity of the people on the list of those still missing.
Celebrating the diversity of the victims of a terrorist blast in London.
Why not talk about what united them?
They were just going to work.
That's all they were doing.
Here we have we are so happy.
The left in this country is so happy and so absorbed with something so important as diversity that they even find it necessary at the LA Times to celebrate the diversity of the missing.
This is like celebrating the diversity of the dead for crying out loud.
Well, at least it was a diverse list.
At least the dead are a diverse list and group of people showing what a great city London is.
Yeah, well, let the next Al-Qaeda bomber violate the EU noise pollution standards and watch them walk scot-free away and not even be charged with it.
But we're gonna celebrate the diversity of the list of the missing.
Hubbahub.
A quick timeout, we'll be back after this.
Arlen Spector says, put Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court for a year as Chief Justice.
The folks.
He's on our team.
It just makes you want to throw up.
Yeah, it's okay.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back with that and all the rest of today's program right after this.
Hey, welcome back, America's Anchor Man here on the Excellence and Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
And as America's anchor man, where was I during the hurricane inside?
I was, I mean, you don't.
Poor people that get a sign to stand out in these hurricanes and tell us what we already know.
And maybe get run over by a runaway Ramada insign that gets blown down.
Folks, I was just thinking of some.
Do you realize did you realize that the European Union may, in all of its bumbling, actually have swerved in to the solution to terrorism?
By banning noise in member states, they have banned Al-Qaeda bombs.
And can't you just see the uh the Imams and the mullahs now fretting over, oh no.
If we set off bombs, they're gonna be in violation of the EU noise pollution standards.
What are we gonna do now?
We're gonna have to get silencers for our bombs.
This is folks.
I was looking through the news this morning and I was having trouble keeping it straight face.
I can just see old Omar and Osama and Ali Akbar sitting around fretting over the fact that they've just been aced by the European Union's anti-noise pollution uh uh regulation.
All right.
Arlen Spector, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, complicated the already dizzying hysteria about the future of the Supreme Court by speculating at length yesterday about the possibility that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor would stay if President Bush elevated her to be Chief Justice.
It was on uh Face the Nation with Bob Schaefer yesterday and uh along with uh Senator Pat Leakey Leahy.
And Schaefer says to uh says to Spexter Specter, um, so you don't you don't count our uh O'Connor as a possibility for Chief Justice, even though she said she's retiring.
It would be very tempting if the president said to Justice O'Connor, uh, you could help the country now.
Uh she has received so much adulation that a confirmation proceeding would be more like a coronation, and she might be willing to stay on for a year or so.
Uh I think it would be quite a tapping to her career if she served for a time, maybe a year or so.
She has her reasons for wanting to retire as we all know, but uh it could help the country in a tough spot and uh might be very tempting.
Come on.
I am stunned by this.
There's gonna be a fight.
This is no different than the gang of 14 deal.
All they did was punt it down the road to deal with later, which is now, and now they want to punt it again.
Spectre doesn't want an uh a judiciary committee hearing that's gonna be fraught with all kinds of problems and acrimony.
So go get O'Connor.
Well, it's just gonna, if she's gonna be there for a year, it's just gonna delay things.
And it's also gonna deny Bush one of the three that he needs, but Bush isn't gonna do it.
Now, I mean, this is what's sophistry about this.
There's no way Bush is gonna ask her to do this, but they're to put the idea out there for Spectre to do.
I told you people, I told you I'm not worried about the liberals and the Democrats and the media and so forth, because we know what they're gonna do.
It's things like this.
You know, because now, I mean, theoretically, when Bush does not elevate O'Connor to the chief justice ship, Spectre can say he has been rebuffed and take it personally.
And who knows how or if he would act in that manner.
Now, the Washington Times, that little intrigue to this in the inside politics section today, says that she's open to the idea.
The Republican chairman, a ranking Democrat, the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, speculated on a scenario in which Sandra Day O'Connor might consider changing her mind on stepping down if Rehnquist retired and President Bush offered to make her the chief.
Several senators mentioning idea to her, said Senator Spector.
The response that I heard from other senators was that she said she was flattered that she didn't say no.
I think it'd be quite a capping to her career if she served for a time.
Uh but let's go to audio soundbite number 17, because Leahy was on the show.
And they didn't really talk so much about about well, this bite doesn't reference O'Connor.
But uh one of the one, I guess it's one of uh uh Schiefer's guests, uh guest journalists, Jan Crawford Greenberg of the Chicago Tribune joining in the question, said Senator Leahy, you have a view on Attorney General Gonzalez.
I think that the dynamics would be different in some ways from his uh his confirmation as attorney general.
There's but I still think the questions would come up on the on the torture memos, on some of these uh on some of these things.
But he would be looked at in the long run, he'd be looked at far more on the opinions he wrote when he was on the Texas Supreme Court.
Would you vote for him?
I'm going to based on that right though.
I'm going to wait until I have have the hearing.
I'm, you know, I'm an old trial lawyer.
I like to I like to have the trial before the verdict.
That's just it.
He's just the verdict's already in.
He's the guy who led the opposition to Gonzalez for attorney general.
Leahy's he's the verdict is already in.
But to then call these hearings a trial, which is exactly you get named by the president to be an appellate judge, a supreme court justice, district judge, you're a suspect.
You're immediately a suspect, and the Democrats on the committee have to run around and uh do everything they can to prove that you're guilty of whatever uh they wish to charge you with.
So we'll keep an eye on this, uh, folks.
Now, the Washington Post has an interesting story today.
Thomas Edsel and Michael Fletcher.
And I made this point.
After Janice Rogers Brown uh was was confirmed to the D.C. appellate court, uh I I said, you know, after three years, they failed to stop her.
Every liberal Democrat interest group in the country was mobilized for three years to stop Janice Rogers Brown, and they failed.
To show that this is show prep for the rest of the media.
Here is the story in the Washington Post.
Another defeat could tarnish credibility as advocacy force for liberals, high stakes, and high court.
Ralph Nees, president of the liberal advocacy group, People for the American Way, began the George W. Bush years leading the fight against the President's 2001 tax cut.
He lost.
Wade Henderson, executive director, leadership conference on civil rights, has been a leading voice in opposition to provisions in the USA Patriot Act that he and other civil rights leaders say needlessly restrict civil liberties.
So far, the act is unchanged.
We have it, the Brits don't.
You want to draw a connection?
Feel free.
Nan Aaron, president of the Alliance for Justice, has joined coalitions that have opposed what she saw as pro-bitness proposals to make it more difficult for consumers to file for bankruptcy and to limit plaintiffs' options in class action lawsuits.
She lost.
Those measures were passed into law earlier this year.
These liberal lobbyists are a triumvirate now leading the left into what they view as their biggest battle yet to stop conservatives from replacing retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor with a justice firmly aligned with the right.
After failing repeatedly in recent years to stop the advance of a conservative agenda by the Republican-controlled White House and Congress, once powerful liberal coalition is making what amounts to a last stand over control of the Supreme Court.
Did I not tell you this last week, too?
I said last week liberalism is making its second to last or maybe its last stand.
Because that's what moveon.org is all trying to do, but what are they doing?
They're trying to try to uh shape public opinion.
And on this, I'm I'm in tri you you can shape public opinion all you want.
It's not going to change the president's mind to what he's going to do.
Uh it just it just isn't.
But the bottom line here is that even the media now has to notice that the effectiveness of these wacko groups on the left is uh it's it's they don't have a report card, they'd be happy to take home to mom.
What are they getting here?
Ones or threes.
I forgot in the new report.
Three's a high group.
So they're getting a bunch of ones, uh, equivalent to Fs uh on on the report card.
I mean, they you know they don't have much to show their donors.
Donors are given big bucks, and everything the donors don't want to happen is happening.
Uh in in uh in a number of ways.
And I know it doesn't look like that To you because, or to some of you, because you spend uh you know a fair amount of time watching the mainstream press, and they create a false illusion and have for a long time about what's going on uh in uh in the country, be it public opinion on the war, be it public opinion on the judges, be it public, because we know what the public opinion is in the judges.
We had the polling data pre-vacancy polling data, shared it with you last week, and there's no question about the before all this hype started, all the polls taken uh before Sandra Day O'Connor retired.
Uh, it looks bad for the left, and they know it.
And and you've got now another memo from uh Stan Greenberg and James Carville and Bob Schrum suggesting that liberals are in trouble, the Democrats are in trouble, and Obama, Osama Obama was in uh Florida over the weekend, uh stumping for Bill Nelson.
And he said Democrats have got trouble.
We gotta we're we're what did he say here?
He said uh Democrats at times have lost their way.
We're trying to decide what our core values are.
You don't have to decide what they are if you have them.
If you have core values, that means they're part of you.
You don't have to decide what they are.
I'm telling you, folks, they're in trouble back in a moment.
Yes, of course, my friends.
I know, I know the the left has core values.
They're just not ours, but I mean, if if uh if uh Obama Osama, here's the story.
It's in the Orlando Sentinel.
Obama Osama leads star power or lends star power to Nelson, a Democratic U.S. Senator campaigns for his colleague at a town hall forum in Etonville.
Uh about 500 people rose to their feet in a standing oh, where they have a rock star as U.S. Senator Barack Obama Osama hit the stick.
Grab that Ted Kennedy song.
People don't know what I'm talking about here.
Uh uh, Mike, and let me know when you have it ready.
The charismatic black politician from Chicago, who at 43 has achieved almost icon status since his wily popular speech.
You know, that's a he's an icon because of a speech.
Hadn't done anything.
It's like Mario Kumo is an icon because of a speech.
How long did Cuomo live off that speech?
Four or five years before he was maybe.
Well, it's not, he's not living off of it anymore.
He got he was defeated eventually when he ran for governor again.
But uh or what no.
Okay, 12, okay, 12 years after his okay, all right.
So here's Osama Obama.
Now, one speech at a convention, and he's living off it.
He's a he's a rookie.
He's uh he's a rookie senator.
He hasn't he hasn't done anything yet now.
But anyway, he went in there to try to drum up support for uh uh the fledgling uh and in trouble Democrat from Florida, Bill Nelson, a former astronaut, and uh uh the most provocative question he was asked was the first one.
Uh Glenn Anderson of Orlando stood up and said, I see a Democratic Party afraid to say they're Democrats, who voted for the war in Iraq and voted for tax cuts for the wealthy.
Why should I remain a Democrat?
It was a tough question, but Nelson and Obama tried to answer it.
Obama said the Democrats at times have lost their way.
We're trying to decide what our core values are.
Now I know, I know, I know they have core values.
They're just not ours.
The difference is they don't have the courage to identify their core values publicly.
This is now the third reference in three weeks, I've seen a prominent Democrat saying they're gonna have to get together and figure out what they believe.
Uh and that's when you're talking core values, that's not why you have meetings.
You have meetings to plot strategic about how to implement your core values.
But you don't have meetings to figure out what they are.
And how long have these Democrats been having meetings to try to figure out what to do and who they are?
Just a uh I don't know, just it's an amazing thing.
Now, if you wonder why I'm calling him Obama Osama, Ted Kennedy was at the National Press Club and made a speech in the question and answer session, got a question about Obama, and actually called him Osama Obama uh what did he call Obama bin Laden.
He he he he did correct himself, but it caused us.
We had no we had no choice, folks.
We had to do a parody tune out of this.
Ted Kennedy after happy hour singing.
Still searching for their core values, still searching for a strategy, still searching for a way to defeat George W. Bush.
The American left.
And it's Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
And let's go to the phones.
Jeff in Lansing, Michigan.
You're up first today.
It's nice to have you with us, sir.
Rush, thank you.
This is a great honor.
Thank you, sir.
Uh longtime listener, first time caller.
Hey, I have to say, don't let Durban staff know about your your call screeners there.
You'll be accused of running a schoolag.
Those guys are tough.
Well, that's why they gotta be tough, sir, because we only want the best calls on the air.
Well, I hope I'm not gonna.
So you gotta look at it like a like a music.
We don't play anything but the hits here.
There you go.
I hope I'm not gonna disappoint you.
I have to disagree with you sending shirts over, you know, the club get most shirts to Iraq.
I think it's taunting, and I think it's kind of low class.
You're better than that, Rush.
Come on.
You have got to be kidding.
You're setting me up.
You don't really believe this.
Oh, absolutely I do.
Come on, Jeff.
No, come on.
You're it it, you know, it's like doing that stupid.
You cannot, you cannot be serious.
Taunting?
Taunting.
Why I we're better than that.
Look.
Can I go back and set the alarm clock and get up and start the day over again?
Look, we teach our young women.
I think.
Crying out loud one thing.
Jeff, how do you taunt?
Good lord.
You're you're like, would you taunt the neighborhood racist by trying to catch him or rapist or whatever, or any kind of a criminal in your neighborhood?
Taunting.
Taunting.
What do you think aiming guns at them is doing?
What do you think trying to kill them is doing?
We're do we're trying of course we're trying to taunt.
We're trying to kill them, Jeff.
Who cares if we taunt them in the first?
It's called intimidation.
It's called inflict fear.
You sound like a liberal worried about what's going on at Camp Gitmo.
Oh no.
That's going, don't make them mad.
Why, if you, if we if we don't treat them like like like hotel guests at Club Gibm, they're really gonna get mad at some.
It's all an excuse.
They did all that they did before Club Gitmo opened.
They did all that they did before Club Gitmo gear was manufactured and distributed around the country.
They did more than they than than 9-11 before we even attacked them.
Taunting.
These guys are not going to be wearing the Club Gitmo gear in combat.
Uh as you know, they wear this stuff to play softball and so forth.
Uh I I they have uniforms, and the uniforms themselves are are what, Mr. Snurley?
What?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And Jeff, you know that's another that Mr. Sterley has a great point.
Do you realize that most, and this is true, I read this uh just today.
Um who was it that sent me this?
It's uh oh, a friend of mine out in Palm Springs sent me a note uh that that's got some I I can't share with you who it is, but uh the the point is that the vast majority of Arabs can hardly read Arabic.
Very few of them read English.
He sent me a sign, and I could be a doctored photo.
I hope it's real.
He sent me a picture rather, uh some people played some tricks on some Arabs somewhere at a rally against America, hosted by a bunch of mullahs and imams, and they said, come here, we'll write the signs for you.
And the signs say kick our ass, mullahs go to hell, and they're holding these signs up while the mullahs on stage, making their hateful America comments.
Uh now, as I say, it could be a doctored photo.
I haven't seen it here, but the point is they can't read Club Gitmo, and they're not gonna be able to see what it says on the back of the Club Gitmo shirts.
Taunting.
I can't believe you said taunting.
I can't believe you're even worried about the oh, we can't make them.
Come on, Jeff.
You're gonna you're gonna have to you're be a man.
Be a man and stop acting like this.
Oh, we don't want to make them any angrier than they are already.
Benjamin in Las Vegas, welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, it's an honor to speak to you.
Thank you, sir.
I just wanted to mention about with the uh story you were talking about, how they're talking about the diversity of the people who are killed more so than the bombing.
Uh and and missing uh the the diversity of those dead and missing in London, yes.
All right, yeah, it's kind of like they're just trying to get you to look at like one color of a picture.
They don't want you to see the whole terrorist attack.
They're just trying to get your mind off of that by Looking at the missing and the dead, more so than why they're missing and dead.
Well, it's it's a Los Angeles Times story.
Uh, and it's not I haven't seen well.
So you think, I just ask you, you think the the purpose of the Los Angeles Times here is to take their readers' minds off the fact that bombs blew up and in fact have them uh remember who their readers are, Southern California liberals.
Yeah.
That they want these liberals to be all happy because the dead and missing at least represent diversity, and that's a great thing about London.
Yeah.
That sounds like why they wrote the story, you know.
Well, I I I know, but but but you really think their purpose is to try to make people forget there was a bomb blast.
Not to make you forget, but more like just kind of get your eye off of that and on something just a little bit else, you know.
Well, that could be as good as anything else.
I mean, I I don't understand the mindset that takes a list of missing and dead people.
And the only thing they see about them is the diversity of what?
Their race, their gender, their cultures, sees this as a great thing.
Uh um okay.
Okay.
So okay, so it shows the indiscriminate nature of the bombing.
Is so the indiscriminate this is you're you saying this is a good thing?
This is a good thing to know that bombs don't discriminate, and we should all be like bombs.
Bombs, when bombs kill, they kill everybody, and they don't care who dies.
Bomb.
Okay.
That's the the LA Times is not trying to prove that the terrorists have no regard for any life.
They're trying to show that London is a diver city and that people from all walks of life, cultures, races, genders, and so forth are in the uh to the excrement box together.
And uh, and that's and that that that gives us a sense of community.
We're all dying, not just certain of us.
Next we're gonna get a story on the diversity of the bombs themselves.
You know, where do the ingredients for this bomb come from and where the ingredients from that bomb come from?
And pretty soon we're gonna have diverse bombs so that kill diverse lists of people to show that the bombs are imminently fair too and not discriminatory in the way they're put together.
Back after this.
Yeah, I was uh I was hoping that our next caller would hang on, but he didn't.
He uh he had to go for some reason.
He was an admitted liberal, and he was calling to ask me a question.
It was based on something I had said last week.
On the day of the London bombing, when the death toll was 43.
I made the point on this program as though talking to Al-Qaeda.
You think this is a big deal?
You're not gonna you're not gonna intimidate the Brits with this.
They've been through the blitz, they've been through World War II, they've been through bombing IRAs.
This isn't gonna do anything to them.
This is not a successful attack.
You people haven't done diddly squat here.
He was gonna say, now the death toll's up to what is it, fifty thifty-two or fifty-three is going to ask me if I thought it was a successful operation now at 52 or 53, which one of the things that I am uh discovering, or actually I've learned it for a long time, but I discover it, rediscover it over and over again, is that many liberals do not have and this is funny in itself, a sense of nuance.
And they don't have uh an ability to do anything but knee-jerk react according to their worldview.
Uh he no doubt heard me say, 43 dead, no biggie.
It's not what I said at all, but that's what he thought I said.
This is probably from a guy who's sitting home and has got his Iraq soldier calendar, death calendar, and every time he hears of a death from an Iraqi soldier, he marks it down and is eagerly counting up to 3,000 because that's when the Libs are going to officially proclaim that this hasn't been worth it when we lose as many Americans as we're lost in the World Trade Center blast, the Pentagon and all that.
Uh that's when the Libs are going to erupt like a volcano, and they're putting these deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq on their little calendars, marking them up each time they happen.
You know, we got the run-up, the excited run-up of the media to the first 1,000 dead, and then they uh every story or very many stories since count the number of dead.
My point was not that 43 is no biggie, and it's not that 53 uh dead is no biggie.
It is uh and was to say, you don't scare us.
Al Qaeda, you don't scare us, and you're not scaring the Brits.
And I don't understand the attitude that wants to be frightened by this to the point of paralysis.
Because the liberal view of this, 43 deaths, that's not what can we get out of a wreck, get out of Afghanistan.
We just we could bring them home.
That's it.
43 innocent people, bring them home.
They have more concern for 43, 53 dead Britons than they do 3,000 dead Americans.
It's an amazing thing, but they have seemingly no understanding of what's necessary to deal with this, other than to appease and back off and not taunt.
Uh or uh or what have you.
By the way, we do now have the photos from Club Gitmo East in Iraq sent in by um by our specialist over there.
And I think I just got a note from the webmaster that the uh pictures are going up now at rushlimbaugh.com if you want to give yourself a quick or give them a quick look see.
Kelly in Fort Hood, Texas.
I'm I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Oh, thank you very much, sir.
Megadiddos from the first cavalry division.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Uh just wanted to forgive me for jumping back.
Wanted to comment on what Jeff said.
Uh I got back from Iraq about four and a half months ago.
I want to do anything I can to help you send those club gitmo shirts over there to taunt these guys.
Yes, right.
What about this taunting?
You're a military guy.
You just got back from what do you think of when you hear somebody say, oh, we shouldn't taunt them?
Uh, screw them.
I I we we should taunt them, sir.
It's uh you know, we we I put up with the news over there, having uh the military sucks, blah, blah, blah.
I everything I can do to help taunt the enemy.
Thank you.
That's they need to be taunted.
They need to be mocked instead of elevated to some super race of special people with a protected religion that nobody can attack or do anything about.
You know, it's just it's asinine.
But the whole concept of taunting anyway, I mean I bet you they'd rather be taunted than shot.
I'll bet they'd rather be taunted than blown up.
If they think it blow up, they can blow up themselves.
Anyway, quick timeout.
Thanks, Kelly, for the call.
God bless you.
Back after this.
The hysteria in Washington continues to efferves.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means bubble up like boiling water.
Will Rinquests retire too?
Will Bush have two to nominate?
When's Renquist gonna quit?
Oh my gosh, when can this all start?
We're so bored.
In that regard, Senator Dingy Harry of Nevada, the Democrats' leader in the Senate, on Saturday, uh delivering the weekly radio address for the Democratic Party.
I guess they put this address together after a committee meeting sometime Friday to figure out what they ought to say in it.
And in this radio address, Dingy Harry asked President Bush to choose a nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court who can unite the country.
Uh let me just ask a question here, folks.
I what what does it matter?
What does it matter what Dingy Harry says Bush ought to do?
What does it matter when Dingy Harry the Democrats say that they want somebody can unite the country?
If Reed and his caucus, now listen to me on this, if Dingy Harry and the Democrats will not unite behind the president in war, why would they unite behind the president no matter who he nominates?
This is nothing but a ploy, folks.
Besides, we don't want justices with big hearts and open minds whose agenda is to unite people.
We want justices who believe in the people and their constitution and will uh interpret it originally.
But I mean, this business expecting unity from a bunch of people that won't even support the country in war.
