Time Text
And we are back.
El Rushbo, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha Rushi.
Behind the Golden EIB microphone, the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Our telephone number is 800-282-2882.
America's Anchorman doing the news with commentary added.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the anti-American war movement.
Whoa, I've never read that sentence before.
Oh, much, why?
This is a Jennifer.
This is a different AP writer than normally has been covering this thing.
The AP writer has been covering the Cindy Sheehan story down in Texas was, you know, I think on board.
Normally, you'd read this Cindy Sheehan, the California mother who's lost.
The grieving mother of a son who lost his life, Bush's war in Iraq.
Blah, But that's not what this lead is.
Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death.
This is Jennifer Kerr, K-E-R-R, writing in the Associated Press, and I fear for her job security.
This is not the way you write this story.
Cindy Sheehan, a California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the end.
She didn't use anything.
This is a grieving mother who lost her son because of a murderous president who doesn't care.
Wouldn't even meet with her twice or three times to talk to her about it.
Now, she gets arrested.
She was arrested today while protesting outside the White House.
There were several signs, Make Levees Not War, among them.
Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along and then began making arrests.
Well, you know, you sometimes have to break the law in order to, like John Kerry said, you know, you got to, you just have to.
I mean, well, sometimes civil disobedience requires this, folks.
Sheehan was the first taken into custody.
She's 48 years old, which is another thing that surprises me, but I'll remain mom on why.
She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, the whole world is watching.
I'd like to see the world.
What is that song?
Live in perfect harmony.
Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, killed in an ambush in Sauter City, Iraq last year.
Cindy attracted worldwide attention last month with her 26-day vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch.
She was among several hundred demonstrators who marched around the White House today, then stopped in front and began singing and chanting Stop the War Now, the demonstration part of a broader anti-war effort on Capitol Hill organized by United for Peace and Justice, an umbrella group.
Yeah, umbrella group.
That's the Stalinist bunch, I think.
If not, it's one of them.
Representatives from anti-war groups were meeting Monday with members of Congress to urge them to work to end the war, bring a wahoo.
What members of Congress are meet, we need to know.
We need to know who these great members of Congress are, ladies and gentlemen, that are meeting with these anti-war protesters.
Cindy Sheehan behind bars, at least temporarily, arrested by evil forces of the Bush administration who don't like this attention.
That's another great one from Paul Shanklin.
And Paul has a website, by the way, where you can listen to all of these.
He's got CDs available, some of the great parodies from the groove yard of forgotten favorites and archives of this program.
Shanklin, by the way, is spelled S-H-A-N-K-L-I-N, paulshanklin.com.
We always link to his website at ours, rushlimbaugh.com.
Defying expectation, sales of previously owned homes rose in August to the second highest level on record, with home prices rising at the fastest pace in 26 years.
Defying expectation.
I thought everybody expected it.
I thought that's why Greenspan was out there saying, don't do this.
There's a housing bubble out.
What do you mean, defying expectations?
Whose expectations?
Erwin Redlander?
Has he got some group now about home prices, as well as a group that he used to have about Elen Gonzalez and now has a group about disaster preparedness?
What experts?
What expert?
What experts expect?
The experts are never right.
The National Association of Realtors reported today that sales of existing homes rose 2% in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 7.29 million units, a sales pace that was exceeded only by an all-time high of 7.35 million units in June.
Economists have been forecasting a slight decline, believing that the red hot housing market was finally beginning to cool off.
What economists?
It's time to start naming names in some of these, these experts and these economists.
Because folks, every time I read a story on the economy, I don't care whether it's employment or unemployment or housing starts, whatever it is, they're always wrong.
The expectations lately have always been exceeded, and these experts are puzzled by it.
The strong demand pushed prices up to a record level of $220,000 last month.
What's that, the average price for a home in America, $220,000?
That's a gain of 15.8% from August of 2004.
That was the biggest 12-month increase since a 17.2% increase in July of 1979 by region of the country.
Sales were up in every area but the South, which saw a small four-tenths of 1% drop last month.
While the realtors predicted that Hurricane Katrina Vandenhoe, which came ashore in New Orleans in late August, would impact sales in September.
They said the impact in August appeared to be minimal.
Sales were up 5.6% in the West and rose by 1.9% in the Midwest, 1.7% in the Northeast.
The 15.8% rise in median home price.
Yeah, okay.
220 is the median price.
That's the point where half the home sold for more and half for less was just the latest in a string of double-digit increases in home prices over the past number of months.
How can this be?
How can this be?
Economic stagnation and depression in soup lines?
George Bush's Bull Connor forcing people out of their homes with hurricanes?
There's a disconnect out there, folks, and I'm going to find out about this.
I'm going to get my finger on this one way or the other, and I'm going to find out the truth about it.
One other thing I want to clear up, we had a conversation on poverty last week.
We had a bunch of calls about this, and I mentioned that I had read there were four things you could do, and just giving advice to people.
Four things you could tell young people, if you do these four things, the odds are pretty good you're not going to be in poverty.
And I couldn't remember them all.
Here they are.
Number one is graduate from Haskruel.
The more school, the better, but Haskruel is a big help.
Get married or marry after you're well established in a job.
Don't have kids outside of marriage.
Don't have kids when you are a teenager.
Get a job just working, even part-time, even minimum wage, increases your chances of climbing out of poverty.
Report was published in 2003 from Data in 2001, and it's www.ncpa.org is the address for these four things.
Once again, this is based on research of people stuck in poverty in this country and who they are, census data, demographic research.
And those four things top the list.
If you avoid those, the odds are greater that you will not end up being poverty stricken.
A quick timeout.
We'll get to more of your phone calls right after this.
Stay with us.
Hi.
How are you?
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
El Rushball here.
The talent.
So much talent.
On loan from God.
800-282-2882 to Phoenix and Mike.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the program.
Rush, it's an honor to speak with you again, sir.
Thank you, sir.
I'm a Gold Star family member, and we spoke at the Pro Troop Rally yesterday on the National Mall, and there were some of the Sheehan crowd off to the side, of course, trying to raise their voice and interrupt.
There was a woman that actually infiltrated the crowd.
And when one of our Gold Star mothers, of course, you know, only Cindy Sheehan has the moral authority to speak, when she was speaking of why her son re-enlisted a second time to go to Iraq and eventually was killed, this woman started screaming from the crowd at her, trying to scream her down so she couldn't speak.
Well, does it surprise you?
No, actually, I was not surprised at all.
What I was amazed at is how right you are about the mindset of these people as I watched the Sheehan rally on Saturday.
But there was a huge difference between the two rallies.
I'll tell you that.
I think what you have to understand, I mean, as I've stated earlier, the Sheehan bunch, the anti-American war protesters, are basically life's losers.
They haven't made it.
They look around a prosperous country and they see themselves as irrelevant and they don't like it.
Nobody wants to be irrelevant.
They want to matter.
They jump on these causes that they think give them moral superiority and make them feel good about themselves since so little else in their lives makes them do that.
And they end up living in an insular world that is shielded from reality.
They create their own reality like much in the media is a media-created reality.
And when confronted with the alternative, they just don't want to hear it.
And so that's why your spokesperson there got shouted down.
They just don't want to hear it.
They're afraid of the bubble being burst.
Now, two things about this.
I came across this little reference to the anti-American war protest yesterday.
One of the people that showed up and spoke was the actress Jessica Lang.
And she denounced President Bush's propensity to lie, how he's, quote, a man who traffics in deadly lies.
She argued that those behind the war want a continuing military presence in the Middle East, control over the region, control over the oil.
They have their eyes on the prize, the master plan.
So once again, now, Jessica Lang, you can't discount this woman.
She's a famous actress, and she once played in a movie about farms.
And she was so impressive in this movie that senators had her come testify before the Senate Agriculture Committee on the Committee on Farm Problems in America.
I think there were two other actresses that she was.
This was not Meryl Streep and Alar.
That was, they're killing their children.
They're killing their children.
Remember that?
Alar, this was something under, this is before LR, in fact.
So Jessica Lang has a pedigree here when it comes to knowledge, sort of like Barbara Streisand's knowledge of global warming causing hurricanes.
And she apparently was one of the most high-profile spokespeople yesterday.
They have their eyes on the prize, the master plan, control over the oil.
Not one military funeral has been attended by George Bush or his cabinet.
She charged that this disregard for human life only reinforces the knowledge that this man has no heart.
She maintained that when I hear his empty words with phrases like armies of compassion or culture responsibility, I understand how deep their mendacity runs.
They are a lie.
Back in Spain in 2002, Jessica Lang claimed the election was stolen by Bush, and we have been suffering ever since under this man's leadership, and that it is an embarrassing time to be an American.
It really is.
It's humiliating.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, let me follow that with this.
And I want to hearken back President Bush's speech that Thursday night in New Orleans in front of the church at Jackson Square.
He said something in that speech that I thought would raise red flags and danger signs and would be all over the media and throughout the American left the next day.
And it wasn't.
And it still really hasn't been.
And it makes me curious.
The president in that speech advocated an even greater military presence in American domestic disaster relief.
Now, there's a law out there, posse comitatus, prevents that.
The feds cannot encroach.
That's why you have to look at the state and local response here.
The feds just can't march in and give orders.
They have to be asked in.
Governors and mayors have to request their presence.
So here you have the anti-American war left, and they are just fit to be tied over the role the American military is playing in the world.
Killing our sons, killing other people, establishing permanent bases all over the world for oil and so forth.
And yet not a word about this ongoing effort to increase the military presence in this country.
Let me tell you about this AP story here.
Military units have been battling the ravages of hurricane winds and flooding for nearly four weeks along the Gulf Coast.
Now their leaders must navigate a different turbulent path.
Congress, political leaders led by President Bush are considering how and when the military should take greater control of relief efforts during national disasters.
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, if you have a situation like a Hurricane Katrina, where the state and local first responders to a large extent are victims themselves and somewhat overwhelmed, what do you do in a situation like that?
You got to get the military in there.
So an effort is being, the president is leading an effort with members of Congress apparently on board to remove state and local authorities from command at the first sign of a disaster and install themselves.
This story says that we should give more power to Bush, more power to the military, and we should not question when they want to come in because it's clear that the U.S. military has been the saving grace in New Orleans with our great hero down there, Lieutenant General or Lieutenant Colonel Russell Honoré.
By the way, I saw the guy smoking a cigar today.
I knew I liked this guy.
But I do have a question.
I would think that the anti-war or the anti-American war movement, so deathly worried about encroachments by the U.S. military around the world, would be up to speed on this.
I would think they would be calling our attention to the fact that behind the scenes, behind the scenes, folks, while we're watching devastation in Texas from Hurricane Rita Vandenhoe, and while we're being distracted with all of that, Bush, Bush, is meeting in Congress in secret to expand the role of the military, the military, in domestic matters.
And I'm serious.
I'm surprised there hasn't been one shriek.
There hasn't been one.
I haven't heard one recognizable voice from the American left or the media raise any hell about this.
And I would think that if they're consistent, I would think if these anti-war, anti-American war protesters are concerned about the military, they'd be upset on this.
It appears to me, folks, you know, people in the anti-war movement, you can go out there and talk about how we're turning the tide and we're actually changing American public opinion on this.
And you can see it in the polls and you can see it in your protests.
You had far more people protesting than the pro-America crowd on Sunday.
But the way I look at it, Bush is even consolidating more power.
He just put his guy on the court, Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts, didn't grow up with any poor people or blacks or Jews.
Jews.
He's got two more he's going to know.
One soon, there'll probably be a third.
Now he's taking over the military.
Bush.
He's going to install the military as primary domestic disaster relief agency.
If you ask me, this whole business of making FEMA look inept was on purpose for the purposes of making sure we would accept the U.S. military in domestic circumstances.
So Bush seems to be consolidating his power to me.
You're listening to Rush Limbaugh, Only Excellence in Podcasting Network.
Armed and dangerous dolphins are loose in the Gulf of Mexico.
I kid you not, details are coming up.
But first, Joan Venocchi in a column yesterday in the Boston Globe, which, my friend, confirms everything that I was saying to you last week.
Headline really says it all.
Democrats still fear dissent on Iraq.
Their base wants them to dissent.
Their base wants them to be at these anti-war rallies.
Their base wants them to be there and saying everything that these speakers at these rallies are saying.
But the Democrats still don't have the guts to do it.
And Joan Venaki senses trouble.
Against John Roberts for the war in Iraq.
How long can Democrats like Hillary Clinton walk that political line? She asks.
That's her lead.
Fearful of the peacenick label, Democrats are still reluctant to challenge President Bush on Iraq, no matter how ugly the news from Baghdad.
Opposing Roberts is much easier.
It shows that when it comes to social issues like abortion, left-leaning interest groups still hold sway with Democrats who would be president.
The anti-war left is a different story.
It's the third rail Democrats fear to touch.
The junior senator from New York also has the woman problem.
No female president, no female presidential candidate wants to sound like anti-war mom Cindy Sheehan.
If Hillary doesn't figure out a way to make these people think that she's on Cindy Sheehan's side, if she doesn't figure out a way to make them think that she is a sister with Cindy Sheehan, she is going to have trouble.
Somebody asked me if I thought she could have trouble in New York, and I had to run through this very fast on Friday.
I think if Hillary knows what's good for her, she will not seek re-election in New York.
I really do.
Why spend the money on a re-election bid that she's going to leave after a year and a half anyway?
And she's going to have to tell these people in New York one thing or the other.
She's either saying, no, I intend to fill out my term, or she's going to say, no, I want you to elect me so I can leave in a year and a half.
She's going to have to do one of the two things.
It's if she loses, if she loses this race to Jean Piro, Janine Piri, it's not insurance at all, Mr. Snerdley.
And the numbers are down.
They're 55, 34 now.
These numbers are closing with Janine Pirot.
And it's not even 2006 yet.
This is going to be a tougher campaign than anybody thinks it's going to be.
And Hillary's got a bit of a, she's trailing at the Daily Chaos Poll.
She's not among the favored Democrats among the base that's out there that wants their candidate to be what they are.
They want their presidential candidate in Washington on Saturday.
They want their presidential candidates to be on that stage with Cindy Sheehan and Jesse Jackson on Saturday.
They're not there.
And Joan Venaki or Venocci gets it here, and they're worried on the left.
They know that Hillary is probably going to be the nominee, but she's not playing it right.
Even they know it.
They know who the base is.
Now, the thing you have to understand about this column, well, let me read some more from it, then I'll make a point to you about it.
Forget about standing alongside Michael Moore.
Merely speaking up against the war in Iraq continues to terrify Democrats.
One exception, Senator Kennedy, but Kennedy isn't running for anything.
Democratic senators who are in the presidential contender mix, such as Clinton and Kerry and Joe Biden, have yet to label their votes to authorize war a mistake, even though the underlying rationale, weapons of mass destruction, was long ago revealed as false.
Given the reluctance to admit mistakes in Washington, they probably never will.
These Democrats, meanwhile, continue to tailor their opposition to the way the war is being waged, not to its underlying purpose or morality or lack thereof.
There's been more than enough time to see what's happening in Iraq, but it's still distant enough to ignore.
Two hurricanes also shoved the Iraq debacle off the front page for now.
The first hurricane pushed poor people.
Even Congress could not ignore the winds of Katrina, and they stirred Democrats especially to think about what a Republican president, Republican Congress, a conservative chief justice would mean to average Americans.
How long before the winds of war finally touch us too?
So here's a Democrat activist disguised as a columnist, desperately wanting these Democrats to hear the message of the Democrat base.
Now, what's missing in all this?
As I read the column and these excerpts to you, what's missing is that never once in this column is a thought or a mention that they ought to respond according to what they really believe.
What's their true morality or what their actual political beliefs happen to be are irrelevant to Ms. Venaki.
She wants them to get on board politically.
She wants them to do the right political thing.
Not one thought in all of their pretty little heads of what might be in the best interest of the country.
The only consideration is how to play this politically in order to win.
Their decision process starts and ends with, what can we do to get the suckers to believe that I think like they do?
That's basically what Joan Venoki is saying here.
What can Hillary do to make these wacko kooks think that she's on their side?
What can Biden do?
What can Kerry do?
And right now they're not doing it.
Maybe she, you know, she doesn't account for the fact, maybe they're not really anti-the war.
Maybe they're being honest.
Maybe they're not, they voted for it.
Maybe they're being, maybe they think it should be fought a different way.
I don't know.
I'm just speculating here.
But that's not even considered.
The fact she, Joan Venaki has got herself convinced.
They've all lied, that they all voted for something they didn't believe in.
They all did it because they were scared.
They all did it for defensive reasons.
And they don't have the guts to apologize to their base.
She wants them to apologize, admit that they didn't have the guts to stand up for what they really believe in, and that's the way to get the nomination of the party for president.
But never once in any of this does she ask for these Democrats to be who they are.
She never once says, tell us what you really believe.
What do you think is best for the country?
All she's asking for is the right political maneuvers.
And I think there's a list.
It's typical of the left.
It's typically.
They can't tell us what they really believe.
My point all last week, they can't, yet they must.
They're in a jam.
Venaki's Venoki.
I'm sorry, I don't know how she pronounces her name, but she's on to something.
Same thing I've been warning the Democrats all last week about.
Here's Greg in Chatham, New Jersey.
You're next, sir.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I've been with you since 1989.
And like any good football coach, you are the Vince Lombardi of Talk Radio.
And by that, I mean that through the genius of your question today, you have once again pulled myself and your listeners to think beyond ourselves.
And, you know, the liberals, this is a dream come true for them to have the military used for domestic purposes.
And by that, I mean that let's say some point in the future, we know that Democrats are going to come back into the White House.
God forbid, but it's going to happen.
So at that point, Bush has laid the groundwork.
Who says?
Well, we can only...
Don't talk to me about the law of averages.
I don't want to hear this kind of negative, fatalistic thinking of the Democrats are going to end up in a White House someday.
Okay.
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear it.
There's no reason Democrats have to end up back in the White House ever again if we do things right.
Well, that's true.
Come on.
You said you've been with me since 18.
Vince Lombardi wouldn't ever figure on losing the Super Bowl one year.
You're right, Rush.
That's exactly right.
I'm right.
I've been taken to the whipping post.
But here's what they're thinking.
Can you imagine being able to use the military to drive buses to go pick up the forlorn, the disadvantaged, to bring them to the voting booth?
Yes.
That's a dream come true for them.
I know the U.S. military is best used as a social experimentation playground for the left.
That's where they want to try out all their wacko-socialist ideas.
New Orleans wasn't good enough for them.
Absolutely.
I know they want the U.S. military used basically as an advanced meals-on-wheels distribution program.
Absolutely, sir.
But that's when they control it.
Remember, this is Bush.
Bush is consolidating his power.
Bush is going to empower the military.
Bush is asking for this to be done.
There's not a peep of protest.
Now, one thing, there's an overriding concern.
The left, you have to understand the military is the focus of evil in the modern world.
If a Republican president gets away with deploying the U.S. military domestically under the gauze of disaster relief.
Let me put it to you.
Mark my words.
This week, this week, somebody on the left is going to figure this out.
And there is going to be outrageous reaction.
They are so focused on other things right now.
Remember, there's a news cycle and all of these other free-flowing currents are missed.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
While Bush has all of these people focused on whatever happened to New Orleans and Texas and Louisiana because of the hurricane, Bush is consolidating his power.
John Roberts is going to name another nominee probably this week.
Military under his control.
People asking him to do it.
What a brilliant move.
He doesn't even have to go out there and make the proposal.
People are asking for it.
And they say this guy's an idiot.
They say this guy's a dunce.
Bush goes out there and acts like he can't articulate very well and make people think that he's stupid, yet look at what he's doing.
He's consolidating power all around.
I will guarantee you, once this tunnel vision of how can we hurt Bush with our hurricane coverage, once that sort of subsides, and it will, despite the fact they put bureaus down there to make sure it never subsides, it will subside.
And then they'll hear about Bush.
Here, Washington Times has a story.
Headline, Bush offers Pentagon as lead agency in disasters.
Let the Department of Defense handle disasters here.
Yes, terror attack DOD takes the lead.
Hurricane DOD takes the lead.
Anti-war protests, DOD takes the lead.
Hell with the park police.
Move into third ID the next time Cindy Sheehan's troop rolls into Washington.
They're going to figure this out, folks.
You mark my words.
There is going to be screeching and shouting.
It is going to sound like a bunch of bats have been forced to fly out of their caves in the daytime.
Back after this.
Stay with me.
The animal rights activists are going to be upset about this when they hear about it.
You know, I laughed hysterically at this.
I just laughed hysterically.
It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Armed dolphins trained by the U.S. military to shoot terrorists and pinpoint spies underwater may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Experts who have studied the U.S. Navy's training exercises claim that the 36 dolphins could be carrying toxic dart guns.
Divers and surfers risk attack, they claim, from a species considered to be among the planet's smartest.
The U.S. Navy admits it's been training dolphins for military purposes, but has refused to confirm that any are missing.
Dolphins have been trained in attack and kill missions since the Cold War.
The U.S. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have apparently been taught to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels.
Their coastal compound was breached during the storm, sweeping them out to sea.
But those who've studied the controversial use of dolphins in the U.S. defense program claim it is vital they are caught quickly.
Leo Sheridan, 72 respected accident investigator who's worked for government and industry, said he had received intelligence from sources close to the U.S. government's Marine Fisheries Service confirming that these killer dolphins have escaped.
He said, my concern is that they've learned to shoot at divers in wetsuits who have simulated terrorists in exercises.
If divers or windsurfers are mistaken for a spy or a suicide bomber, and if equipped with special harnesses carrying toxic darts, these dolphins could fire.
The darts are designed to put the target to sleep so they can be interrogated later.
What happens if the victim is not found for hours?
Now, usually the dolphins are controlled via signals transmitted through a neck harness.
The question is, were these dolphins made secure before Katrina struck?
So, they're out there.
These 36 killer dolphins, armed and dangerous, are out there in the Gulf.
And what if the oil companies need to send divers down to investigate the rigs?
I'll guarantee you, these dolphins have been trained to think anybody doing that is set in a charge.
I'll tell you what they're well, Mamon, come on now.
The broadcast engineer just said, yeah, they're smart, but how's their aim?
They don't have to be very good at A. They're dolphins.
Who's going to be worried at a dolphin show?
Oh, come here, little dolphin.
Come here, Flipper.
Well, Flipper is going to be allowed to get real close to move in there for the kill.
Unbelievable, folks.
Just absolutely unbelievable.
Jamie in Boston, I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Dr. Professor Limbaugh, it's a privilege and an honor to speak with you again.
Thank you, sir.
If I may entertain my mental mentor in an argument, I would like to revisit a statement you made earlier on whether Cindy Sheehan is a loser.
Okay, go right ahead, sir.
I state that Cindy Sheehan is not a loser because she has found a cause that she is passionate about and a bunch of fools to finance it.
Thus, she's got passion and a she has found a passion that she has found funding for.
How could she be a loser?
Well, depends, I guess, on how you define it.
I mean, if this is winning, then go ahead.
She's a winner.
Well, I guarantee you can't win this way till you lose big.
And I'm not talking about her son.
I'm not talking about...
This is a woman, without this, if it weren't for her varicose veins, she'd be totally colorless.
Nobody would ever notice her.
But now all of a sudden, yeah, so she's winning in that sense, but that's what I said.
They're all trembling.
For every Cindy Sheehan, how many losers are there in the audience carrying signs that say make levees not war?
Oh, I agree with you, Professor.
I agree with you all-heartedly.
I agree that there's a bunch of losers that are expending their capital and their opportunity costs for a point that is way beyond the point of diminishing returns.
But I will argue your side of the coin, too, being the good debater, and that how she rebounds once this is all over is going to determine whether she's a loser or not.
I agree.
She will be a loser.
All right.
All right.
So if she's a winner, why does she need to rebound?
The word would be, how is she going to stay on top when this is all over?
So let me ask you, what's she going to do?
Oh, she's going to fail.
I mean, where was she before, and she's...
Well, now you're making my point.
Oh, but...
Without these...
Without these people behind the curtains, you know, she's nothing.
She was nothing until that PR firm got hold of her and the media propped her up.
She's a total prisoner to external forces.
She's living the life.
She thinks that she's brought this all on herself and she thinks that it's built around her.
She's just the latest tool.
And when they look at, they're only going back to her because the Hurricane Katrina thing bombed out.
There aren't 10,000 people dead.
There are 10.
There were no rapes and murders in the Superdome.
The media still won't tell us.
They haven't been able to make the case that Bush targeted a hurricane to kill blacks.
They tried.
There aren't enough.
It's senseless.
They're going back now to Abu Grab.
The New York Times had a story yesterday about prisoner abuse.
These things cycle.
And it's all from that one media cycle that is designed.
I'm getting blue in the face repeating this, and I'm fortunately here out of time because I don't want to get blue in the face anymore.
Sadly, my friends, we are out of busy, busy broadcast time, but there's always tomorrow.
Remember, I will not be here Wednesday.
When I let you know who our guest host will be on Wednesday, then I'll tell you.
Or when I know, I'll tell you.
I could guess, but I don't want to guess since I'm in charge of knowing.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Look forward to it.
