Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, the thing said said fix the key battery.
I'm driving into work.
The dashboard said fix the key battery.
It said, well, it said didn't fix it, so the key battery is wrong.
A battery doesn't have a key.
I'm still learning things about this car.
Greetings, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome.
It's the EIB network and L Rushball, and we are we are here, we're wound up and ready to unwind for the next three hours the excellence in broadcasting network.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
The email address is rush at EIBNet.com.
All right, still that folks, now I'm getting some emails.
Not a whole not a whole lot.
Not a whole lot, but I'm getting some emails from people.
Hey, Rush, is there anything going on out there besides hurricane?
Because I can see hurricane news on television 24-7.
Uh yes, and we're going to get into some of the things uh uh other than hurricane news today.
But folks, it's like it's like I told you when Cindy Sheehan came up and she was 24-7.
It's this is more than just the hurricane.
There, they're there I mean, the ongoing arguments that we are having in this country are all embodied in the aftermath of this hurricane and this story, and so that's why we're spending time on it.
There are lessons galore here to be learned.
Uh but you know, we're not interviewing people that are on television telling you how their progress is.
We're not doing that here.
We're, you know, life lessons every day here on the EIB network.
Now the uh the big news, the big news, and I've it's fascinating to watch this.
I ran it by Mr. Snerdley today when Snerdley brought me his stack of stuff he thought was interesting.
I said, have you heard about X?
And when I told him he jaw dropped.
No.
So that proves my point.
What is this argument always been about?
What is this argument in terms of the hurricane?
What are the media and the left trying to make it about?
Bush didn't care.
Bush's a racist, Bush blew up the levees.
Uh the war in the rock's going.
This is a new one.
The war in Iraq's going so bad that he and Halliburton haven't got their hands on the oil down there yet.
And so they had to they had to destroy New Orleans and upset the uh the whole oil pipeline in this country so as to get the price up for the oil buddies to fulfill a promise that it was made before going into Iraq.
The tin hat crowd out there on the left is getting hilarious.
But I mean, no, well that no, they didn't plan a hurricane, but they saw it come and they've prepared to take advantage of it.
Sent that barge in there to blow up the levees.
Absolutely.
All right, now some of them think he created a hurricane with global warming, and some of them think he steered the damn thing.
Uh, you know, they do.
Uh it's it's in fact is somebody on Democrat Underground get this.
Some some I I've got it here in a stack.
Some wacko on a Democrat Underground went down somewhere to Houston.
By the way, do you think this doesn't upset the left?
Texas, Texas has just And who's from Texas?
Bush and Rove.
Rove.
And Texas is just is just shining here.
Texas doing everything right down there.
They had to have a lockdown on the Astrodome today.
Uh did you hear about this?
They had to lock down the Astrodome because some of the people in there were not from the hurricane.
They're used to just wanted to get in on the goodies being passed out inside, which includes cash.
So some of these people for the first time in a week had cash in their pockets, and others started preying on them.
So I had they had to they had to lock down the uh the uh the Astrodome today.
Uh anyway, this Democrat Underground person is driving around somewhere down New Orleans or Texas somewhere trying to help the evacuees and comes across an old lady, black uh African American old lady and her family, and is prepared to offer help but sees a Bush bumper sticker on the car and says, screw you, and drove off.
And then wrote about it as a gee, I felt I felt so guilty for a while, but then I said no, let her hero helper.
All prepared to hand out A until I saw the Bush Mump.
No, it's on the Democrat Underground, Don.
I I kid you not.
It's it's there.
But anyway, the story is about how Bush doesn't care and Bush's and and Bush botched it and FEMA botched it, Mike Brown ought to be fired, everybody ought to be fired.
Bill Richardson, by the way, the governor of New Mexico, has come out and said this you can't blame Bush.
This is purely a an easily uh uh uh spottable problem.
This is nothing more than bureaucratic red tape.
What I said the first day I started talking about this bureaucracy piled upon bureaucracy.
No wonder we're having these problems here uh uh or had them.
Uh but if who created the bureaucracy?
I continue here to expand upon a point made brilliantly yesterday, and that is who created the bureaucracy.
Congress creates the bureaucracy.
The president can't order anything.
The president can't say, I want a homeland security.
Well, he can say he wants it, but he that doesn't make it happen.
Congress has to make it happen.
All these bureaucracies and all these levels of bureaucracies that lead to red tape.
Hello, Congress.
All of them.
If anybody starts demanding apologies, we ought to demand apologies from Congress and not let them get away with this business that they get to sit around as bystanders and investigate everybody else.
Because you know what these investigations are.
These investigations are where they pass the buck and try to destroy innocent people while pretending they had nothing to do with the problem when they're the ones that actually sit around and create all these problems.
It's like this senator from uh from Oregon, uh, what's his name?
Uh uh uh Gordon.
Gordon, what's it is it Gordon, what's his last name?
Gordon Brown.
Gordon Smith, yeah.
Gordon Gordon Smith.
All of a sudden starting to beat up on the oil companies for price gouges.
Hell's Bells, who do you think runs the oil companies now?
The government runs the oil companies.
Can't drill without the government saying so, can't transport it without the government saying so, can't refine it in certain ways, not the government saying the government runs the oil companies for all intents and purposes.
This is a this is another one of those dirty little secrets that nobody stops to think about.
It's one of the most regulated businesses around.
How would you like to have a business where the government tells you you can do business here, but you can't do it there, and the places you can't do it greatly outnumber the places you can.
And then all of a sudden, when that supply line is upset, PAMO, and the prices go up, you get accused of gouging when the government's running your business in the first place.
This is just a small example of the many life lessons that you learn daily here on the EIB network.
But the big news from yesterday, the big news.
It happened on special report with Britt Hume.
And I've been watching the news all day to see if it made it outside of Fox News.
If it made it beyond the boundaries of Fox News, did anybody else find this?
Did anybody else find this information?
Has it been on any other cable networks, been in any of the newspapers?
Uh-uh.
Uh two sound bites for you that will um just spell it all out for you.
Talking with Britt Hume about 6.20 last night, Eastern time, and uh the QA going about uh really why why was there no food and why was there no water delivered for all those days to the Superdome?
Why, I mean, why we saw people for three or four days standing outside clambering, where was the water?
Here's the first thing Major Garrett said.
The Red Cross was ready.
It has got off the phone with one of their officials.
They had a vanguard Brit of trucks with water, food, hygiene equipment, all sorts of things ready to go where?
To the Superdome and the Convention Center.
Why weren't they there?
The Louisiana Department of Homeland Security told them they could not go.
Aha!
There has to be an answer to this, and there it is.
There was plenty of water, there was plenty of food, and it was on the pallets, and it was ready to be delivered.
And the Red Cross said uh was was told no, you can't go there by the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security.
So Britt Hume's uh next question.
Now, this isn't the Louisiana branch of the federal Homeland Security, this is the state.
The state's own agency devoted to the state's homeland security.
They told them you cannot go there.
Why?
The Red Cross tells me that state agency in Louisiana said, look, we do not want to create a magnet for more people to come to the Superdome or the Convention Center.
We want to get them out.
So at the same time local officials were screaming, where's the food, where's the water?
The Red Cross was standing by ready.
The Louisiana Department of Homeland Security said you can't go.
And it was uh later uh uh said by Major Garrett that the actual order that prevented the uh Red Cross from getting in there came from the Louisiana governor's office.
It was because the governor's office runs the uh the State Department of Homeland Security, and they didn't want any more people showing up in the superdome that were already there.
And so if the word spread that there's plenty of water in food, they knew it would be a magnet.
So they chose instead to starve and dehydrate a bunch of people.
I'm sure they didn't think it'd go as many days as it did, but they chose that.
They kept the food out.
Now, all this time, everybody has thought it was incompetence on the part of the Bush administration for not acting fast enough.
And then beyond everybody thought that it was maybe purposeful.
Bush wanted to kill those people, don't you know?
But now we find out once again, like I like I said on Tuesday of this week.
If you want to find the answers to all your questions, you go to the mayor's office in New Orleans and the governor's office in Louisiana, because that's where you will find the answers to all these questions.
What?
Uh they did what?
What?
No, I well, that's the point.
I don't think I I've I've I've looked for this everywhere in the media.
I did a study today.
While doing show prep, I looked to see if I found this anywhere else.
It's on some blogs, but it's it has not made its way to the mainstream media.
It just hasn't made it there.
And it won't make CNN because CNN says Fox isn't news.
Fox is just, you know, the Bush administration's propaganda arm.
MSNBC won't do it because they hate Bush and they hate Fox.
They all hate Fox, so whatever Fox does isn't news to them.
You people have to understand this.
You people who watch Fox, other news organ from the New York Times, I don't care who they are, it's Fox is not news.
Fox's propaganda for the Bush administration.
That's how they look at them.
And so then they're not using anything that the major garrett found out.
But here's the point.
Major Garrett made a phone call.
He was a what?
He was a reporter.
He called the Red Cross.
He said, uh been wondering why there was no food there.
Oh, there was, Mr. Garrett.
And by the way, this is all on the Red Cross website as well.
It's all on the Red Cross website, ladies and gentlemen.
Meanwhile, we had all these reporters turned activists down there wading around in the muck in the water of New Orleans, crying wolf and demanding to know, where is the help?
Where's the water?
Where's the food?
Where is Well, uh somebody finally made a phone call and found out quick timeout?
Back with more in just a second.
You know, if if things were just, you'd have you'd have Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman investigating themselves and then being forced to resign.
Because they run the committee in the Senate that oversees Homeland Security.
BAMO FEMA into Homeland Security.
Hillary votes for it.
All this red tape gets created.
Now guess who gets to have the hearings to find out what went wrong?
The people who created the problem get to have the hearings.
They pass the buck.
They target innocent people, ruin them, blame them, all the while accepting accolades for doing such a masterful job of getting to the bottom of things.
And this is going to be a recurring theme on this program because I, as you know, if you've been listening regularly, I am uh I don't know, not outraged.
I'm I'm just I'm just uh it's more than amused.
But the way Congress, in circumstances like this, gets to act like bystanders, gets to act like they had no role in it.
They get to stand up and raise questions and ask questions.
How did that happen?
How did that why didn't that happen?
Who did that?
Where's the food?
Where's the water?
Why do we?
Hey, go look in the mirror.
And yet these are the people down there investigating here.
They're ones calling for committees and hearings and all.
And when it comes to the real hard decisions, they won't even make them.
Time to close bases.
Oop, blue ribbon commission made up of former Congresspeople.
Uh you know, other tough decisions won't they because they don't want to have their constituents be able to blame them personally.
I mean, they're the they're the slickest pass of buck artists.
I mean, this is stop and think of it, folks.
I mean, this is uh I wish I'd come up with a good analogy for you.
These are the people that write the laws.
These are the people authorized the spending of money.
These are the people that therefore create the red tape.
Now they're out there complaining about the red tape that they create.
It's funny when you just stop and think about it.
Uh frustrating when you see what um what they get away with.
Uh so we'll try to hold their feet to the fire uh on this.
Uh Nancy Pelosi uh is becoming an embarrassment.
Although I think the whole Democrats have descended now into a comedy routine.
Uh this is I predicted this yesterday.
When that USA Today poll came out, only 13% of the country blames Bush.
I knew that they'd have a conniption.
And they do, I do uh knew what they would do.
They do what they always do.
Okay, the Wellstone Memorial didn't work.
Well, let's let's double our efforts.
Uh We didn't get our message out.
Yes, you did.
Let's really get our message.
So they come up with all these wackos that they rally around.
And now Pelosi's out there just making an absolute fool of herself.
She's an embarrassment to to her party, but they don't know this.
Harry Reid, did you hear Harry Harry Reed had a press conversation?
Folks, I have I just loved this.
Harry Reed went out to because see, Bush is giving away the storm.
One of the things you have to understand, Bush is beleaguered.
The way Bush gets out of it is to give money away.
This is this is classic politics 101.
Doesn't matter who the president is.
You are beleaguered, you are embattled, you get yourself out of the jam by throwing money at the problem.
Already up to 60 billion dollars.
We're already up to 200,000 per evacuee.
Is uh if you want to if you want to amortize the funds that way.
200 grand per evacuee with no end in sight.
Uh this is okay, you're you Bush is saying, You're gonna tell me I don't care?
You watch how I care.
Where's the checkbook?
And of course, Congress, they can't, what do you mean?
We gotta hold tight to the bunch.
Oh, yeah, you want them to die, huh?
Oak, they can't do that.
So here's the checkbook, Mr. President.
So Dingy Harry sees all this.
Oh, I've got to get in on this action.
I can't look like I don't care.
Like we're the compassionate party.
So Dingy Harry went out goes out there, and I watched this, and I I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
You know what Dingy Carrie, Dingy Harry says they need?
No, they need health care and education.
The evacuees need health care and education.
I said, wait a second, I've been hearing that for 35 years.
That's part of their playbook for 35.
Health care and education.
What does he think they're getting?
The Texas governor's already making plans to send the kids in the Astrodome to school, which may be the first time for some of them, and they're getting health care, they're getting medicine, they're getting well they their education what apparently wasn't a big priority in Louisiana, Mr. Snerdley.
So uh and of course all this is happening in Evil, Texas.
Who's from Texas?
Bush and Rove Rove.
So this is doubly insulting.
Texas is uh is doing things big, doing them right.
Uh so Dingy Harry's got to get in on this.
Health care.
Oh, oh, and he wants to streamline Medicare enrollment and funding.
I'm thinking, this is pathetic.
Here you've got this great opportunity to call for Marxist socialism.
Here, I mean, we're already on the path here to doing things the way the Soviet Union would do it, from the White House to Congress to Republicans and Democrats.
I mean, so we may as well uh Dingy Harry go all the way, but health care and education in a disaster.
Whoa.
Oh, and get this.
Get this.
I don't know how this passed the editors of the Washington Post today.
I'll give you a full details when we get back.
Break, did you hear?
Did you hear that Bush has spent more on levies in his five years than eight years at Clinton?
Has somebody told Hillary this?
Has somebody told Mary Landrew this?
In fact, you know what I'd like to see.
Landrew's out there ripping Bush.
I want Mary Landry to produce the legislation that she proposed to build up those levies.
When Tom Dashell was a Senate majority leader, because I will bet you that if she had proposed it, Dashell would have taken it up and Bush would have signed it because Bush wasn't doing anything.
He wasn't doing anything but trying to curry favor with these guys.
I want to, Mary Landry can sit out there and she can act like Bush is to blame for all this.
And I'm sure that the Democrats got a meeting and say, Mary, you're the one with credibility here.
It's your state that's in tatters.
Uh your your father was once mayor of New Orleans to get out there and rip Bush.
Okay, great.
Well, let's see the legislation she proposed to fix the levies.
There may be.
I don't know, but I if I'd like to see it.
Uh and if if it didn't go anywhere, why not?
Why didn't Democrats listen to her?
So forth.
Uh, this folks, this stuff is just uh uh it's it's amazing.
It's amazing to watch this.
Uh and and the answer to all this is I said last Tuesday or this past Tuesday is simple.
State local.
State local.
Major Garrett.
There was food all over the place.
Water all over the Red Cross ready to roll.
Rebig wheels heading on down the tracks, right to the superdome in a convention center, but nope.
Louisiana State.
Governor's office.
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
No water, no food to the superdome.
We don't want to cause a magnet down there.
They know what freebies do.
If they'd have if they'd have said all the food and water you need at the Superdome, nobody would have left town.
Probably the first time they'd eaten in days.
So rather than that, they kept the food and water out of there.
And this is all.
Meanwhile, Bush, Bush blew up the levees, sent the barge in there, flooded the whole town to kill black people, and then screw up the oil business in this country to rise profits because the oil in Iraq just didn't working out the way he and Helibert had planned.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back in just a second.
Screams of joy at the very mention of my name.
Also, screeches of sheer panic.
In uh in certain quarters.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
We'll be getting to your phone calls, I promise, before the show is over.
800 282-2882 is the number.
Email address rush at eibnet.com.
I don't know how many have been watching TV.
I have it on here, but I didn't obviously don't have the sound up.
Vice President Cheney's in Gulfport, Mississippi.
And he's talking to the press and the networks are uh are broadcasting this live.
As some guy, Cookie just sent me an instant message on this and told me some guy walks behind Cheney, says, go bleep yourself, Cheney, twice.
Um, no, it's not Pat Leahy.
Uh it wasn't Pat Lahey.
Well, I it might have been, but I I didn't, I didn't actually see the incident.
Uh uh Cookie didn't identify this guy, so I don't know who it was.
Uh but anyway, they all aired it.
I mean, nobody nobody bleeped it out.
Uh was it a CNN reporter?
That's a better guess than a Leahy.
Uh all right.
I don't know how many of you have seen this today.
This is all of it now now.
I when I when I saw this, so how does this make as large a story in USA Today today as it does?
Groups TV ad uses storm's aftermath to target Roberts.
The televised images of poverty stricken evacuees from Hurricane Katrina are part of a provocative last-minute effort by a liberal interest group to divert Federal Judge John Roberts' path to confirmation as chief justice.
Moveon.org.
Plans to unveil a TV ad on Monday that questions whether Roberts is sensitive enough to civil rights concerns to lead the Supreme Court, and they're gonna show footage from New Orleans in the hurricane aftermath to illustrate that Roberts doesn't care for black people.
Remember, he grew up in a neighborhood with no blacks and no Jews.
Jews in Long Beach, Indiana.
He's not qualified because he's uh he does oh wait here, Richard.
Did you hear about Richard Cohen's column today in the Washington Post?
Roberts is too perfect.
He's too perfect.
He's too perfect to know the people.
There's na there's no failure in his life.
He can't relate to people because he's never failed.
This is the most hilarious thing that I've seen yet on Roberts, and that's saying something.
Well, anyway, this is a huge long story in USA Today, Mark Mammut.
It's a it's a huge story about an ad that's not even on the air yet.
So I ask myself, why are they doing this?
And I said, Rush, don't be an idiot.
You know why they're doing it?
Because they want moveonor.org to do this, and they think this is a great idea, and they're trying to give this ad a little pre-publicity.
An ad that uses footage from the New Orleans hurricane aftermath in an attempt to denigrate John Roberts as a racist, as somebody who doesn't care about the plight of blacks.
He has a rotten civil rights record.
And the rest of the story is all about what moveon.org And others say about Roberts and his lack of caring about black people and civil rights.
Well, what has happened since then is that moveon.org is backing off.
Moveon.org issued a statement this morning for immediate release.
Statement by Eli Pariser or Pariser.
I have no idea how you pronounce the guy's name.
Executive Director, MoveOn.org.
Political action on misleading headline in USA Today.
Misleading headline.
Groups TV ad uses Storm's aftermath to target Roberts.
The whole story, Eli, it's not just a misleading headline.
USA Today ran an inaccurate headline in this morning's paper saying that we plan to produce a TV ad that uses the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to criticize Supreme Court nominee Judge John Roberts.
We have no plans.
We have never had plans to produce such an ad.
We stand by our criticism, however, that Judge Roberts' record indicates a lack of commitment to protecting and defending civil rights.
Apparently, one of the sources for USA Today was somebody at Move On.
If that's true, then I have no doubt they were going to run this ad.
And I think it just misjudged once again.
They thought that the world would greet their ad with eager anticipation, and they found out, hey, you because I was all prepared to say, I want, I want Senators Kennedy, and I want Senator Leahy, and I want Senator Schumer to all stand up and back this ad.
I want them to stand up and support this ad.
That's what I was going to say today, until they pull back.
I will guarantee you that somebody, somewhere, the Democratic Party called move on counterproductive.
You can't exploit the aftermath this way.
What it means is is what we've always known.
They've got nothing on John Roberts.
They've got absolutely zero on John Roberts.
And speaking of this, here's Richard Cohen today in the Washington Post.
Too perfect to know the people.
Here's just one sentence from this piece of brilliance.
Judge Roberts' record is appallingly free of failure.
Apallingly free of failure.
Mr. Cohen, you have done a great service.
You have once again defined liberalism for us, and that is defining equality by making everybody miserable.
The lowest common denominator.
You can't have somebody who is a success because that's offensive to somebody who hasn't succeeded.
You can't have somebody have a good time because that's offensive to people who are not having a good time.
You can't have somebody succeed in school because that's offensive and and and stigmatizes people who don't do well.
So once again, the left has shown us that they shoot for the lowest common denominator, and this comes from their arrogance and their elitism, and their own vaunted elitist view that they stand so high above everybody else.
It's okay for them to succeed.
It's okay for them to achieve.
But that's because they're special people.
But the average bloke in this country doesn't have a chance.
The average bloke in this country didn't have a prayer of succeeding, and so liberals must do what they do in order to make everybody's lives at least passable.
Hello, New Orleans.
If you want to see what liberalism unchecked, unbridled, unstopped, does to people.
Take a look at New Orleans.
We know what the census figures are there.
We know 75, 80% of the population is black.
What does that mean?
It means they can't charge racism down there.
Can't charge racism down there, and you can't say that they need affirmative action down there, and yet look at the poverty rate down there.
Look at the poverty rate.
This is a city that rather than modernize and move forward has chosen to celebrate its past and try to hold on to it because some people think it's quaint.
And as salt, you've got a result, you got rampant poverty down there, and this hurricane brought it to shore, brought it to fore.
And what the thing that everybody needs to see is that liberals and Democrats have run that place, the whole state, that city for 60 years.
It ought to be a panacea.
You know, it'd be a utopia.
It ought to be so nice that no hurricane would dare get near it.
You ought to be so nice that it's indestructible.
There ought to be no crime because everybody's happy And sufficient.
Their bellies are full.
They all have jobs.
They all have health care.
The government does everything for them at the whim of the moment.
Everybody should have just been the happiest people in the world should have been in New Orleans.
I'm sorry I must have missed it.
In the aftermath, but I haven't seen a whole lot of happiness and people.
And I don't see a whole lot of people who've been taken out of there making tracks to get back.
Not the poor.
I don't see the poor making tracks to get back.
And we even had a story on this on this yesterday.
So Judge Roberts.
His record is appallingly free of failure.
I sometimes think the best thing that ever happened to me was at the time the worst.
I flunked out of college, admits Mr. Cohen.
I did so for the usual reasons, painfully bored with scruwel, distracted by life itself, and so I went to work for an insurance company while I plowed ahead at night scruel.
From there, I went to the Army, emerging with a storehouse of anecdotes.
In retrospect, I learned more by failing than I ever would have by succeeding.
I wish that John Roberts had a touch of my incompetence.
Instead, the nominee for Chief Justice of the U.S. punched every career ticket right on schedule.
He was raised in affluence, educated in private schools, private schools.
Dispatched to Harvard, and then to Harvard Law School.
He clerked for U.S. appellate judge Henry Friendly and later for William Rehnquist.
Roberts worked in the Justice Department, then in the White House until moving on to Hogan and Hartson, one of Washington's most prestigious law firms.
Then he was principal deputy solicitor general before moving to the bench, where he has served for only two years.
His record is appallingly free of failure.
Unlike, say the presidency, the Supreme Court is no place for a sluggish thinker who thinks, if that's the word, that in the schools, the non-theory of intelligent design ought to be taught along with the theory of evolution.
What next?
Alchemy and chemistry.
So here you have it, Mr. Cohen spelling it all out for us.
What liberalism is.
It surely isn't success.
Success distances you.
Success makes you incapable of relating to most of your countrymen.
And but this is just another it.
No, no, what no, he did earn it all, Mrs. That's the point.
He earned it all, and it's just not, it's just it's not it's abnormal.
It's abnormal.
Most people are failures and louses.
Most people are just a part of the endless parade of human debris, but this guy, Roberts, is too perfect.
Why he doesn't even have the vanity to cover up the bald spot.
They're even complaining about that.
Do you know that they're on the Democrat websites?
They're they're playing guessing games of whether or not he's really gay.
And one of the ways they've decided he's not gay is he hasn't covered the bald spot.
If he was if he covered the bald spot, that proves he was gay.
But he's not gay because he doesn't have the vanity to- I'm not kidding you, folks.
I am not there looking for everything.
He's gay.
They want to do to him what they did to the mayor out there in Seattle.
Huh?
Spoken.
Whatever.
Spoke hand.
That's somewhere out there in the great Northwest.
You need a covered wagon to get to it.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
You're listening to Rush Limbaugh on the Excellence in Podcasting Network.
Folks, stop what you're doing.
Stop what you are doing.
Stop the music.
Thank you.
The engineer took it to heart.
That's great.
Great going there, Mike.
Folks, this ad that moveon.org.
Uh USA Today today said they're going to run starting on Monday against John Roberts and his civil rights attitudes, featuring footage of the suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans.
They have denied running such an ad.
We've got it.
We've got the audio of the air.
We don't have obviously have the video.
We've got the audio of that ad scheduled to run Monday.
While Hurricane Katrina was busy destroying the Gulf Coast, George Bush was also busy getting ready to destroy civil rights.
All right.
Kanye West says George Bush hates black people.
Now he's proven it by nominating John Roberts to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
While John Roberts was safely in Washington, D.C., thousands died.
While John Roberts was busy preparing his right wing agenda, thousands are becoming homeless.
While George Bush pledged aid to Katrina's victims.
John Roberts and Carl Rule simultaneously attacked the levees in New Orleans with dynamite.
Dynamite.
In raised gasoline prices.
Coincidence?
We think not, Mr. President.
Tell George Bush.
We don't need a dynamiting, gas gouging, anti-civil rights justice on the Supreme Court.
Tell George Bush, the reign of terror must end today.
Followed by George Soros and kayaking friends of Nancy Pelosi.
You heard it.
I must confess they're not being surprised anymore.
I don't think they could do anything.
They could not they're so low they can't go any lower, and they're looking up and seeing the gutter.
Doesn't surprise me.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the excellence in uh in broadcasting network.
About about Richard Cohen, one more thing.
You know, he's proving with this column.
John Roberts can't go anywhere.
Why he's never failed.
He has an alarming record of success.
An appalling record of success.
What have I always said about the left?
How do you climb the ladder of success in the left?
You fail.
Jimmy Carter, perhaps the worst president in history, is now is now regaled as one of the greatest Democrats ever.
The more Howard Dean bombs out, doesn't get a single state in the primaries.
He's now running the Democratic Party.
I mean, if you look at the Democrats, those that fail somehow continue to climb the ladder of success.
Failure is a resume enhancement.
That's what Richard Cohen is saying.
You want to enhance your resume in a liberal run business?
Fail.
You want to enhance your resume at a liberal run school?
Fail.
You want to enhance your resume in a liberal run government agency or government period?
Fail.
That is what Mr. Cohen is suggesting.
By the way, human interest story here that I absolutely love.
This is from the New Orleans Times Picky Yoon.
And it's from this morning, clear just about three hours ago.
The headline, Smokers Sticking Together.
I love this story.
Listen to this.
A member of the National Guard cigarette hanging from his lips.
Allah John Wayne.
I added the a la John Wayne part.
Confessed that he had taken cartons of cigarettes that he spied in the jettisoned luggage of fleeing Hyatt Hotel guests last week.
He took those cigarettes, cartons of them.
Not for himself, but to toss into the crowd of Super Bowl refugees.
Add that to the random acts of kindness file, says the Times Picky Yoon.
Wait till a health Nazis hear about this.
Bush ordered the National Guard to give cigarettes away to already suffering hurricane victims to enhance cancer deaths even sooner.
Or shall we say, those that don't die from the hurricane will die from cancer later on.
Bush not taking any chances.
That people will survive.
Wait till they get hold of this, folks.
Well, I've just probably specified exactly what'll be on these blogs.
Democrat poop websites before too long.
Back in a moment.
Stay with us.
Is that kayaking?
Am I hearing that right?
Kayaking Friends of Nancy Pelosi.
These Democrats have friends all over the place.
It's always a different group of friends in every one of these ads.
All right, first hour is in the can, folks.
And Brian, uh uh about five minutes after the hour, fire up the ditto cam.
Uh, this is the opening of the uh NFL season tonight.
The uh Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots in Foxborough wearing a Steelers shirt today to signify the opening of the season.
And we will uh come back and continue.
Lots of stuff still to go on the stacks of stuff.
