Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 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.
The email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
I have to tell you a funny story.
I had, that's marginally funny.
I had one of those weekends where I didn't have to do anything I didn't want to do.
No obligations.
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.
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.
To not have to shave.
So I walked in and I've got about three days' growth here on the face.
I've been noticing all these guys on television with weak old beards.
It's become fashionable.
So I walked in there.
Well, Dawn was having lunch.
I said, explain the story.
I said, Dawn, do you, no, I'm not going for the mullah look.
No, not at all, not at all.
I walked in.
I said, Dawn, do you like the way this looks?
She said, I think you need your Cleb 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 she gets a whisker burn.
And I said, oh, you still kiss your husband.
That's excellent to know.
And she just sort of just sort of laughed.
Looky here, folks.
The European Union has issued a new ruling, a new warning, essentially.
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 rule aimed at reducing noise includes al-Qaeda bombs.
Idiots.
It just, with all the things that are going on, global warming here, global warming, they're 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. Snirdly?
It'll never happen.
They'll go out and get the average run-of-the-mill citizen honking his horn or doing some such 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 sent us a picture, 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.
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 great joint venture the insurgents have done for us by creating such a marvel with their measly bombs.
It's a win-win situation.
goes on to describe how serious the war effort is though and once again thanks us for the Club Gitmo gear and and this is first sergeant Paul Joseph of the 983rd Engineer Battalion Camp Ramadi Iraq now been renamed Club Gitmo East he's a 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 soundbites, the uh, the general manager at CLUB Gitmo the real CLUB Gitmo has been uh.
He's either been promoted to another hotel on the chain or he's been fired, 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 bases 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 uh, who had lost confidence in his ability to effectively lead.
So uh, 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 capital Kabul after the men escaped at about uh 0500, 5 o'clock in the morning for those of you in 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, that prisoners 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 L.A. 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 going to celebrate the diversity of the list of the missing.
Hubba hubba.
Quick time out.
We'll be back after this.
Arlen Specter says, put Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court for a year as chief justice.
Folks, he's on our team.
It just makes you want to throw up.
Okay, quick time out.
We'll be back with that and all the rest of today's program right after this.
Hey, welcome back, America's Anchorman here on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
And as America's Anchorman, where was I during the hurricane?
Inside.
I was, I mean, you don't.
Poor people that get assigned 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 something.
Do you realize, did you realize that the European Union may, in all of its bumbling, actually have swerved into the solution to terrorism?
By banning noise in member states, they have banned al-Qaeda bombs.
And can't you just see the imams and the mullahs now fretting over, oh no, if we set off bombs, they're going to be in violation of the EU noise pollution standards.
What are we going to do now?
We're going to have to get silencers for our bombs.
This is just, hey, folks.
I was looking through the news this morning and I was having trouble keeping a 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 regulation.
All right.
Arlen Specter, 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 Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer yesterday and along with Senator Pat Leakey Leahy.
And Schieffer says to Specter, so you don't count out 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, you could help the country now.
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.
I think it would be quite a tapping to her career if she served for a time, maybe a year or so.
has her reasons for wanting to retire, as we all know, but it could help the country in a tough spot and might be very tempting.
Come on, I am stunned by this.
There's going to 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.
Specter doesn't want a judiciary committee hearing that's going to be fraught with all kinds of problems and acrimony.
So go get O'Connor.
Well, it's just going to, if she's going to be there for a year, it's just going to delay things.
And it's also going to deny Bush one of the three that he needs.
Bush isn't going to do it.
I mean, this is what's sophistry about this.
There's no way Bush is going to ask her to do this.
But 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 going to do.
It's things like this.
You know, because now, I mean, theoretically, when Bush does not elevate O'Connor to the chief justiceship, Specter 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, had a 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 mentioned the idea to her, said Senator Specter.
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.
But let's go to audio soundbite number 17 because Leahy was on the show and they didn't really talk so much about, well, this bite, it doesn't reference O'Connor, but one of the, I guess it's one of Schieffer's guests, 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 confirmation as Attorney General.
But I still think the questions would come up on the torture memo 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 wait till I have the hearing.
I'm an old trial lawyer.
I like to have the trial before the verdict.
That's just it.
The verdict's already in.
He's the guy who led the opposition to Gonzalez for Attorney General.
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 do everything they can to prove that you're guilty of whatever they wish to charge you with.
So we'll keep an eye on this, folks.
Now, the Washington Post has an interesting story today, Thomas Edsel and Michael Fletcher.
And I made this point after Janice Rogers Brown was confirmed to the D.C. appellate court, 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 at 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-bidness 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 in 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 shape public opinion.
And on this, you can shape public opinion all you want.
It's not going to change the president's mind of what he's going to do.
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 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 forget in the new report.
Threes a hygris.
So they're getting a bunch of ones equivalent to Fs on the report card.
I mean, they don't have much to show their donors.
Donors are given big bucks and everything that donors don't want to happen is happening in a number of ways.
Now, I know it doesn't look like that to you or to some of you because you spend 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 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 and 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 before Sandra Day O'Connor retired, it looks bad for the left and they know it.
And you've got now another memo from Stan Greenberg and James Carville and Bob Shrum suggesting that liberals are in trouble, the Democrats are in trouble.
And Obama, Osama Obama, was in Florida over the weekend stumping for Bill Nelson.
And he said, Democrats have got trouble.
What did he say here?
He said, 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 left has core values.
They're just not ours.
But, I mean, If 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 Eatonville.
About 500 people rose to their feet in a standing oh, worthy of a rock star as U.S. Senator Barack Obama Osama hit the state.
Grab that Ted Kennedy song.
People don't know what I'm talking about here.
Mike, let me know when you have it ready.
The charismatic black politician from Chicago, who at 43 has achieved almost icon status since his wildly popular speech.
You know, he's an icon because of a speech.
He 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, he's not living off of it anymore.
He was defeated eventually when he ran for governor again.
No.
Okay, 12 years after he's okay.
All right.
So here's Osama Obama.
Now, one speech at a convention, and he's living off it.
He's a rookie.
He's a rookie senator.
He hasn't done anything yet now.
But anyway, he went in there to try to drum up support for the fledgling and in trouble Democrat from Florida, Bill Nelson, a former astronaut.
And the most provocative question he was asked was the first one.
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 of prominent Democrats saying they're going to have to get together and figure out what they believe.
And that's when you're talking core values, that's not why you have meetings.
You have meetings to plot strategically 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, 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.
What did he call it?
Obama bin Laden.
He did correct himself, but it caused us.
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.
Longtime listener, first time caller.
Hey, I have to say, don't let Durbin staff know about your call screeners there.
You'll be accused of running a gulag.
Those guys are tough.
Well, that's why they got to be tough, sir, because we only want the best calls on the air.
Well, I hope I'm not.
So you got to look at it like a music.
We don't play anything but the hits here.
There you go.
I hope I'm not going to 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.
Oh, come on, Jeff.
No, come on.
It's like doing that stupid.
You've got to be kidding.
You cannot be serious.
Taunting?
Taunting.
We're better than that.
Can I go back and set the alarm clock and get up and start the day over again?
Look, we teach our young chefs.
I'm crying out loud.
One thing.
Jeff, how do you taunt?
Good Lord.
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?
Of course we're trying to kill them, Jeff.
Who cares if we taunt them in the first place?
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.
Don't make them mad.
Why if you, if we don't treat them like hotel guests at Club Gitmo, they're really going to get mad.
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 the 9-11 before we even attacked them.
Taunting.
These guys are not going to be wearing the Club Gitmo gear in combat.
As you know, they wear this stuff to play saltball and so forth.
They have uniforms, and the uniforms themselves are what, Mr. Sterdley?
But, and Jeff, you know, Mr. Sterling has a great point.
Do you realize that most, and this is true, I read this just today.
Who was it that sent me this?
Oh, a friend of mine out in Palm Springs sent me a note that's got some, I can't share with you who it is, but 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 it could be a doctored photo.
I hope it's real.
He sent me a picture rather, 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 are on stage making their hateful America comments.
Now, as I say, it could be a doctored photo.
I haven't seen any, but the point is they can't read Club Gitmo, and they're not going to 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 that.
Oh, we can't make them.
Come on, Jeff.
You're going to have to 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 story you were talking about, how they're talking about the diversity of the people who were killed more so than the bombing.
And missing, 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 a Los Angeles Times story.
And it's not.
I haven't seen any.
Well, so you think, I just ask you, you think 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 remember who their readers are, Southern California liberals.
Yeah.
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 know, 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 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.
Okay.
Okay.
So it shows the indiscriminate nature of the bombing.
Are you saying this is a good thing?
This is a good thing to note 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.
The L.A. Times is not trying to prove that the terrorists have no regard for any life.
They're trying to show that London is a diverse city and that people from all walks of life, cultures, races, genders, and so forth are in the excrement box together.
And that gives us a sense of community.
We're all dying, not just certain of us.
Next, we're going to get a story on the diversity of the bombs themselves.
You know, where do the ingredients for this bomb come from?
And where do the ingredients from that bomb come from?
And pretty soon we're going to have diverse bombs that kill diverse lists of people to show that the bombs are eminently fair too and not discriminatory in the way they're put together.
Back after this.
I was hoping that our next caller would hang on, but he didn't.
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 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 going to 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 going to do anything to them.
This is not a successful attack.
You people haven't done diddly squad here.
He was going to say, now the death toll is up to, what is it, 52 or 53?
He's 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 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 an ability to do anything but knee-jerk react according to their worldview.
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 were lost in the World Trade Center blast, the Pentagon and all that, 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 in the media to the first 1,000 dead.
And then 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 dead is no biggie.
It is 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 we get out of Iraq.
Get out of Afghanistan.
Come on.
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, 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 or what have you.
By the way, we do now have the photos from Club Gitmo East in Iraq sent in by our specialist over there.
And I think I just got a note from the webmaster that the 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 glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Oh, thank you very much, sir.
Megan Dittos from the 1st Cavalry Division.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Just wanted to forgive me for jumping back.
I wanted to comment on what Jeff said.
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.
That's right.
What about this taunting?
You're a military guy.
You just got back from there.
What do you think of when you hear somebody say, oh, we shouldn't taunt them?
Screw them.
We should taunt them, sir.
I put up with the news over there, having the military sucks, blah, blah, blah.
Everything I can do to help taunt the enemy.
Thank you.
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 bet you they'd rather be taunted than shot.
I'll bet they'd rather be taunted than blown up.
If they think it would 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 effervesce.
For those of you in Rio Linda, that means bubble up, like boiling water.
Will Rehnquist retire too?
Will Bush have two to nominate?
When's Rehnquist going to 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 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.
Let me just ask a question here, folks.
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 interpret it originally.
But I mean, this business expecting unity from a bunch of people that won't even support the country in war?
