Time Text
Okay, Mr. Broadcast Engineer, stand by on the audio soundbites starting at number four.
And greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
A reminder, Ditto Cam up and running.
It will be for the remainder of the program telephone number 800-282-2882.
The email address is rush at EIBnet.com.
I keep getting emails.
I check them during the break.
What do you keep checking out there?
Today, folks, I'm checking on my phone lines at home.
I have not the landline phones.
I never use the phone.
I couldn't care less about those.
I mean, talking about the online phone lines that allow internet connectivity.
I have sites set up that I can tell where the lines are up and down.
And so I keep checking.
And the backup, one of the backup T1s has been up for the last half hour, just went down.
Neighbor just called, well, he wrote, I don't talk on the phone.
I hate the phone, but so I get emails.
Hey, hey, we just got our telephones back.
I'm calling up about DSL.
He still doesn't have power either.
So he's got his regular phones, but no online.
We're going to be last.
We are going to be last to get hooked up to everything.
Although, I have to tell you, I have to tell you this.
It was Saturday.
Was it Saturday?
Saturday or Sunday.
What was it?
It had to be Saturday.
And I was driving in to play golf.
I told you about how we jury-rigged the golf carts and stole a generator to charge them up so that we could play.
And I'm driving in, and here comes like a 14 or 15 motorcycle cop escort of a bunch of giant power trucks.
And oh, whoopie-doo, hubba-hubba.
In my neighborhood, even these guys are heading.
And I looked on the trucks, and they're from Detroit.
They're from New Fallujah.
And I'm saying, this is awfully nice.
So coming home, we had these guys, the trucks weren't yet deployed.
They were just rolling out, as it were.
And so when I was coming home, the trucks had been deployed, and this is one lane of the roads closed.
So they got a flagman out there stopping traffic in one direction for a time and then letting it move in the other.
One of the times I was stopped, I got out, and I went up to one of the guys from a truck from New Fallujah, and I said, you know, I really appreciate you guys coming down here to help us.
I really do.
You've left your families.
You've left your homes.
Hunting season up there.
And you probably had to drive those rigs all the way here from there.
That can't have been comfortable.
Very, very, very appreciate.
And I am.
I mean, this whole state of Florida is flooded with out-of-state repair workers that are coming in and trying to get the incompetent utility we have here up and running.
And I appreciate it.
And I'm going to be eager to see.
I got my FPNL bill last night or yesterday, and I wrote some checks out last night.
And I'm going to be eager to see the next bill.
I have been, it'll be, it's eight days today without line power, which means I owe FP ⁇ L nothing.
And I just want to see what my bill is in the next billing cycle.
I just want to see.
I'll bet you it's the same.
I will bet you it'll be the same.
I'll remember to let you, you know.
No, I haven't complained.
What good is complaining to anybody?
I never complain.
What do you mean complain?
Complain to who?
You mean call the 800 number to file a complaint?
Oh, oh, come on.
The mayor can't.
I went on the website, the town website, checked, you know, the mayor puts a message up there at 4 o'clock every afternoon or the town council leader or whatever.
And they don't know.
They've got their theories as to why.
But no, nobody's afraid to complain.
That'll only irritate them and make them matter.
It's the same old appeasement defense.
You know, don't complain.
They're doing the best they can.
They are, by the way, the power company here is running way ahead of schedule.
But of course, I knew that would be the case.
When they said November 22nd, that was never going to be realistic.
They just saw when they came online November 2nd and 3rd, they wanted everything.
Wow, these guys are doing a great job.
I know how this stuff works.
I know PR.
I know spin.
I know it when I see it.
It's like pornography.
It's hard to define, but you know it when you see it.
So, no, why call and complain?
And then the newspaper has these numbers.
Power outage called this.
Really?
Get a computer that won't talk back to you.
Fine, we'll report this outage and be one of the.
There's no phone call that's going to speed it up.
No phone call.
No amount of HR says, what if you stay on one of the little properties on your property?
They'll hook that up first.
No, that ain't going to happen because they all get connected to the same pole.
Once one property gets it, they all get it.
HR is saying, if you act like a little guy, they'll help you sooner than if they think you're a big guy, is what he's saying.
It isn't going to work that way.
Here's the phone number.
If you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, the email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Listen to this.
University of Georgia student Brandon Esco has faced his share of razzing for being a nutrition science major.
This is a field traditionally dominated by women.
You're only in that major because of the girls, is the most common teasing that he's heard.
But at the school, this University of Georgia, at their College of Family and Consumer Sciences, Brandon Esco is part of a growing trend.
Five years ago, only about 10% of the college students were men.
Last year, nearly a third of the 1,700 students, this is home ech.
We're talking home ech.
They've just renamed it.
But you know, when you, when you, family and consumer science is home economics.
It's what the girls were taking when we were in shop class learning how to saw and use jack planes and all of that.
Well, I know a lot of women that have failed home ech.
I think I've known them personally.
Nevertheless, it's home ech.
And now nearly one-third of the 1,700 students, roughly 40% of the tenure-track faculty, were men.
Those changes shared by other schools nationwide are helping to undermine the stereotypes long acquainted with home economic programs, often sneeringly chided as the Mrs. degree.
Experts say even the moniker home ech itself is outdated.
Many schools have changed their program titles to such terms as human sciences to reflect a broader nature.
That's no different.
You know, back in my day growing up, a window washer was a window washer.
Today, vision control coordinator.
That's still a window washer.
Nothing against them.
I mean, just, but we dress these terms.
It's still home ech.
Except, I'll tell you, the real new name for this course is called husband training.
If you are making a pitch to get more men into home ech, what are you doing?
You're training them to be the kind of husbands you want them to be, so you don't have to do home ech.
This is husband training 101 going on at the University of Georgia and all these other places.
Debbie Schlussel, a friend of mine, syndicated columnist, sends me this little note, little story.
You need help voting in a solution to the Palm Beach butterfly ballot fiasco.
The old people there couldn't figure out.
The city of Detroit will now pre-vote for you.
As reported by Detroit's ABC News affiliates, some Detroit voters received their absentee ballots with votes already cast for the Detroit city clerk Jackie Curry and her friend, the embattled mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick.
By the way, speaking of Kwame, did you know that he said he'd take the earring out of his ear?
That diamond stud?
He had a diamond stud in his ear.
He's taking it out because he wants to look more professional.
At any rate, the city clerk, Jackie Curry, who administers all elections in Detroit and distributes the ballots, got more votes than any candidate in the August primary because she sent out ballots that had already been pre-voted.
I'm not kidding.
Sent the absentee ballot.
Well, that's the whole point when you start talking about voter fraud and voting machines and not counting all the votes.
And I guess this is the left's reaction.
Okay, if you Republicans are going to steal elections from us, we're going to send our absentee ballots out with our candidates already voted for.
All of this is on top of a Sunday Detroit news investigation that showed many absentee ballots, as many as 380,000 registered to dead people, fraudulent or invalid addresses, and mentally incapacitated voters.
The Detroit news reported that Curry's paid workers help incapacitated workers in a back room at a nursing home.
Paper also reported that these suspicious practices date back to 1964, when Jackie Curry and her late husband were charged with soliciting people to sign applications for absentee ballots and advising them how to mark their ballots.
So, is it any wonder John Kerry won Michigan?
They sent the absentee ballots out and they were already pre-marked.
Back in just a moment.
Half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, Rush Lynn Baugh, America's anchorman, America's truth detector, servant of humanity, play-by-playman, and commentator on the news, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
This is Neil in Evansville, Indiana.
Nice to have you on the program.
Rush, great to talk to you, Mega Dittos.
Thank you.
I'd just like to say I think it's pretty poor that the media has gone to Alito's mother and tried to basically take advantage of her and kind of pump her for information.
It kind of reminds me of whenever they went trying to dig up information on Robert's adopted children.
And I think it's just pretty disgusting at the levels that they reach to to try to gain information when they don't.
That's true, but let's evidently.
But see, let them keep doing it.
Your reaction is the same that every dignified, sensible person in the country is having.
Sure, they tried to prove in Roberts' case, they tried to establish doubt about his adoption procedure because his two adopted kids are from, where, South America, somewhere.
Why are they so white?
The media wondered.
And they wanted to get to his adoption records to find out how, because everybody wants to adopt white kids and he went down there where people are dark skinned and he got white people.
How did he do that?
They want to drum up some kind of controversy.
Of course, we're never supposed to even touch on Chelsea Clinton.
Leave her alone.
Her parents are doing a fabulous job of raising her away from the spotlight.
Leave her alone.
We're not supposed to talk about Hillary Clinton's mom.
Never supposed to go bother her, Dorothy, whatever her name was.
We're not supposed to do any of that.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
But we can go get Alito's mom.
And of course, what does she say?
Of course he's opposed to abortion.
What was she going to say?
She's 90 years old.
She's honest.
Perhaps this was the greatest one.
Connie Chung, we have audio here for my television show back in 1995.
Connie had a segment or a show called Eye to Eye with Connie Chung.
Remember, she went out and talked to Newt's mom?
Remember this?
And I can't tell you what he said about Hillary.
We can't.
I can't.
Why don't you just whisper it to me just between you and me?
Shut up, bitch.
That's the only thing he ever said about her.
I think they had some meeting, you know, and she takes over.
She does.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But for news there, she can.
Shake a bitch.
That's what.
And yeah, everybody was denying it.
And when we pointed this out, but how about this?
How about Connie Chung?
You got cameras.
You got lights.
You got everything.
Come on, just whisper it just between you and me.
So it's a common practice.
I mean, this is in the Democrats playbook as well.
And it's just, look at, folks, it says far more about who they are than whatever they supposedly learn from these invasive interviews.
Yesterday, CNN, Wolf Blitzer, the Situation Room, Ted Kennedy, the guest, the Wolfster says, you put out a statement expressing your disappointment in Judge Alito.
Does that mean automatically you're going to vote against him?
No, it doesn't.
But it means that we're going to have a full and complete and a fair hearing.
My concern is that this nomination was more out of weakness rather than strength.
We know that it was sort of the extreme right wing of the president's own party that sank the previous nominee.
Where have I heard that before?
This is a nomination of weakness.
I think Senator Kennedy stole that from me, ladies and gentlemen.
That was my reaction to the nomination of Harriet Myers.
Now, listen to how wrong the liberals continue to get it.
Last night on the news hour with Jim Olara on PBS, he was talking to Mark Maxey Shields, who hasn't been on TV much since CNN canceled Capital Gang was the name of that show.
And Jim Olara says, Mark, how do you read this?
This being couched today as the conservatives are saying it's more to it than that, but others are saying it's a simple case that the conservatives say, hey, if Roe versus Wade comes before the court and Alito's on the court, he'll vote to overrule it.
I think that's absolutely true, Jim.
I think with both sides, they couldn't say that with Harriet Myers, but with both sides, what you have is the equivalent in popular conversation of saying it's not the money, it's the principle, it's the money.
They say it's not a litmus test, it's a litmus test.
It's a litmus test on both sides.
It's a litmus test for the liberals, and it's a liberal test for the conservatives.
Yeah, but, you know, notice how he just so casually swats away this notion there might be some principle involved here.
Here's a guy with a 15-year judicial record.
Senator Kennedy voted for him twice, by the way.
He has to have voted for him twice because Alito got 100 votes both times.
One of those times, and the Democrats ran the Senate by a 12-vote majority, 56 to 44.
And so now I've got Shields here talking, ah, it's just, it's, it's, it's, just, it's about abortion.
It's all about.
That could have been true about Harriet Myers.
But it is not true in this case.
This is a nomination about the future direction of the court and the Constitution.
And abortion is one small part of that, no question about it.
But to the left, it is all about abortion, pure and simple, because if they get somebody who will opold Roe versus Wade, they are confident they'll get somebody who will continue to legislate from the bench.
Lehrer then follows it up, says, so where does that leave the Democrats on this, Mark?
The Democrats, whose strategy was to the rope-a-dope, go mute when Harriet Myers was there, now realize they have to come out swinging.
And so they came out today and realized that the only way they're going to raise any questions about this man is on substance.
And they don't dare go there.
They don't dare go into substance.
The Democrats don't go to substance.
They can't afford to go to substance.
They lose on it every time.
All they can do, let me tell you what they're doing right now, they're holding their fire.
Their research teams are working on this guy.
And by the way, Schumer and these guys said, we need long time.
We can't get this done before Christmas.
Why?
We need not rush to judgment.
Why?
We have lifetime appointments in the Supreme Court.
Why?
We need to take our time.
Blah, blah, blah.
Well, the fact is they've got briefing books already prepared on this guy because his name's been on the list for how many months now?
They know everything there is to know about this guy.
And what they do know is there's not enough to oppose him on substance.
And so what they're doing, one of the reasons they want the delay is they don't want to give up their post-Thanksgiving recess.
And the second reason is they're hoping against hope that there's something out there, that this guy had sex with an insect or something out, something out there that they can find that will disqualify them.
They want to take all the time necessary to dig up something or to fabricate a charge.
Remember, where the Democrats and Supreme Court nominations are concerned, you can ask Clarence Thomas.
It's not the nature of the evidence that is important.
It's the seriousness of the charge.
They have no desire whatsoever to get anywhere near substance on this.
Here is Beverly in Cincinnati.
Hi, you're nice to call.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, Rush.
I just love you so much.
You are my best friend.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And I wanted to let you know about the DeWine About Faith.
Do you remember last August when we had the election to get Jeannie Schmidt in for Rob Portman?
Yeah.
The guy that ran across from her, that Paul Hackett, I think.
Oh, I remember Paul Hackett, and he knows us.
The bottom feeder.
I heard last week on the news that he, on the local news here, that he's thinking about challenging DeWine for his seat.
And I think that could have been a giant dope slap for DeWine, that a lot of his conservative base would not vote for Hackett, but just possibly not vote at all.
Because if you look, Hackett did not win by that much.
Hackett did not, but Hackett lost.
Oh, that's right.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
He didn't lose by that much.
Well, but there's a reason for that.
He ran in a Republican district.
This Hackett guy, and he can say whatever he wants to say about me.
I can take it.
You know, I'm a public figure.
I've been a public figure a long time.
Words don't bother me a bit.
He can say whatever he wants.
The fact of the matter is, this guy ran two campaigns.
When he was outside the district raising money, he was the biggest anti-war dove kook you had ever met.
When he was in the district campaigning and running commercials, he ran as the best friend George Bush ever had.
The Democrats tried to put another anti-war activist in a military uniform and have him run and get elected.
And you thought they'd learn a lesson after trying with Kerry.
He ran commercials that aligned himself with Bush.
And people in Ohio weren't paying attention.
This district easily could have gotten the impression that Hackett was a Republican.
And the Democrats are like, this sent a message nationwide.
We can win back the house.
No, it didn't because you had to run as a Republican to even get as close as you did with Hackett.
Had Hackett run in that district as the Democrat liberally is, it would have been a slam-dunk, landslide, defeat.
Fini, overwhelm.
You're listening to Rush Limbaugh on the Excellence in Podcasting Network.
Rush Limbaugh, lover of mankind, protector of motherhood, supporter of fatherhood, in most cases, just not mine.
And in general, all-round good guy, well-known radio rocking tour.
And back to the phones of Belford, New Jersey.
Hello, Tom.
You're next on the EIB network.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Good afternoon, Rush.
How are you?
Fine.
Good.
I just saw Chris Matthews talk with Dean last night, and Chris Matthews was slapping Dean about being anti-Italian, the ethnic issue.
And Dean was trying to say that he lost as a prosecutor.
He lost some cases.
I was just wondering if you had seen that.
Well, we have the audio of this.
And I must confess, I don't watch this show.
I only hear about it from people who get agitated when they watch this show.
So I pay people to watch this show.
I like a positive outlook on life.
If I watch this stuff every night, I'd be as fit to be tied as a lot of other people are.
So I don't watch it.
But I have enough here to get an idea what happened.
We have the audio sound bites.
Howard Dean was on hardball with Chris Matthews last night.
Matthews said.
Somebody in the Democratic Party is putting out an attack sheet in this new justice nominee for the Supreme Court.
And the first attack is that he was lenient on the mob back in an 88 case.
He let the Lucchese family get off.
Says he was an embarrassment to the government.
Here's a guy that's been tough on crime.
Why start off on that issue, Dean?
I didn't put it out, but somebody did, so I'll be responsible for it.
It was put out by the Democrats.
All right.
The president put out a sheet this morning, Republican talking points.
One of the things he said was that Judge Alito was a spectacular prosecutor.
Well, turns out he wasn't quite so spectacular, and he lost some important cases.
And one witness, which those guys, that particular case, those guys all got off, 20 of them, without even putting up a defense witness.
So at least in that particular case, that's an example.
You notice how wishy-washy these Dems are on prosecutors.
When a prosecutor comes along and indicts Scooter Libby, they love, boy, that's a prosecutor's prosecutor.
Now, all of a sudden, here's Alito, who the Democrats have voted for 100 to zip twice in the U.S. Senate.
He is a lousy prosecutor.
And now they're going after.
Maybe he's got mob ties.
That's the purpose of the document.
Maybe he got mob ties.
Alito Scalito Lucasi.
Maybe he let these guys off.
Maybe he didn't try them.
Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe he's got mob tied.
I mean, let this stuff flow from their lips, folks.
Let it just keep flowing.
But there's more to this than meets the eye.
Sit tight.
Matthews said, well, what about the Genovese case the year later when he won the conviction and put three of those big mob guys away, including the top guy in New Jersey?
I think it's great.
All I'm trying to say is, you know, this guy is not the best prosecutor since sliced bread.
Look, here's the...
You don't sense a little ethnic aspect to this, the fact he's Italian-American.
They nailed this.
Number one issue against this guy is mob.
And he's weak on the mob.
You don't see that, huh?
No, I do.
You don't see it.
I think everybody else does.
I'll tell you what the number one is.
I see it.
I'll tell you what the number one issue is.
Matthews says, are the Democrats of the pro-choice party, period?
Is that all we got here?
Is that the only argument we can make?
We're the pro-choice party.
Is that it?
The government is Democrats.
Your party is a pro-choice party.
No, my party respects everybody's views, but my party firmly believes that the government should stay out of people's personal lives.
But you're pro-choice party.
Are you not?
You sound like you're against them for being pro-life.
Are you pro-choice?
I'm not against people for being pro-life.
I actually was the first chairman who met for a long time with a pro-life Democrat.
Well, I can see why some of you people watching this last night were a little confused here.
Democrats don't get put on the spot this way very often.
And of course, Dean was as mistaken as he can be or lying, whatever it is.
You know damn well.
You know, if you want to have fun with a liberal Democrat who claims they're pro-choice, go up and say, I am too.
You know what?
I am pro-choice.
I am very happy to hear you say you're pro-choice.
What do you mean you're pro-choice, they'll say to you.
Oh, yeah, I choose not to have the abortions as often as possible.
Well, that's not pro-choice.
Wait a minute.
I thought it was the word choice.
How come only you can be pro-choice?
Pro-choice does mean abort, huh?
Oh, no.
No, because, well, if I can't say I'm pro-choice and that I choose life, then what's the point of pro-choice?
They are not pro-choice, folks.
They do have a litmus test.
They're the ones that have people standing outside adoption centers trying to talk women out of going in there and trying to steer them down the street to Planned Parenthood.
I'll call a massive protest rally to talk about the infringement on women's rights simply by trying to drag them into or persuade them into going to an abortion claim.
By the way, grabbed a feminist update theme, Mike.
I should have done this at the top.
I warned you people yesterday had the first bit of news on this that the NAGs were going to have a four o'clock yesterday afternoon protest at the Supreme Court, the National Association of Gals, and they were going to protest the nomination of Alito.
You have that?
Not yet.
Well, it should be right at the top.
That's probably why we can't find it.
Nevertheless, they had this giant protest plan a mere number of hours after Alito was nominated.
And, well, here it is.
May as well do the update, go back to the archives.
We haven't done a feminist update in a long time, but this bit of news clearly deserves it.
The Forrester Sisters.
And this is actual audio that we've...
Yes.
We're fierce.
We're feminists.
They are a woman, girl.
Just like the girl.
Mary, dear old man, they make me so mad.
Talking about me.
We're fierce.
We're feminist.
We gave me the love cause we're bigger than you.
We came in.
We're all mad.
Just can't shoot on me.
We're fierce.
We're perfect!
We're feminists.
Cue audio from a pro-choice rally back in the early 90s that we mixed in with the song.
We're fierce, we're feminists, and we're in your face.
So the nags, they tried to rally the troops, go back and try to relive the good old days.
And you know how many people showed up yesterday?
Take it, Mr. Snerdley.
How many people showed up?
It was 20 people, 20 people, and they were all nags.
They were all from the National Association of Gals.
They didn't get any of the satellite groups.
20 people.
And it still got covered.
It still got covered as a major news event.
But it was just a joke.
And it's symbolic of what has happened to this once great liberal coalition.
They simply couldn't agitate and irritate enough average citizens to join them in their protest because it's nothing new.
Folks, when you've been crying wolf for 30 years and you say the same things over and over for 30 years, at some point, it's like the Democrats in Social Security.
They've been telling America's seasoned citizens for as long as I've been doing radio shows.
Republicans are going to cut your social security if they win the election.
Your social security is going to get cut.
They want to take it away from you.
They want to take your medicine away from you.
They want to give you a can opener so you can open your OWL poll, but that's it.
They are going to make sure that you lose your house.
I heard Cranston say this when I was in California back in 1984.
If Reagan was re-elected, you old people on Social Security will have your housing taken away from you.
Well, you say this over and over for 30 years, and yet social security checks keep getting bigger.
May not be as big as you'd like, but I mean, you still have your house.
You still get your social security check.
Some point, you're going to say, wait a minute, all these fear-mongering tactics simply don't come true.
Same thing here with the nags and abortion and all that.
Now, one other thing about this Matthews business, because Matthews got this document, and by the way, this document was embedded with its creator.
Let me find, let me see who it was that, yeah, here's the story.
It's in the American Spectator.
Kudos to the fellows at Red State and Town Hall who nailed DNC dirty tricksters for their slamming of Sam Alito.
Red State got hold of a word document from the DNC opposition researchers, which included embedded data that showed who worked on it.
And based on their research, a couple of low-level flunkies pulled the dirt together about Alito being soft on the mob.
One woman named Deborah Adler did the polish.
Now, who might Deborah Adler be?
Well, Clinton White House documents reveal that she was one of Bruce Reed's deputies on domestic policy back when the Democrats ran the White House.
She served as an associate director for health policy.
Now, Deborah Adler is plying her Clinton training for Howard Dean.
As reported by the American Spectator blog yesterday, Harry Reid seemed to sense a title shift in public opinion and mainstream media coverage of the Alito nomination.
And before noon, he spoke to Howard Dean and he asked that Dean tone down the Alito rhetoric.
And Dean said to hell with that.
He declined the invitation to be civil.
Now comes the DNC DIRT document, which attempts to slime Alito with charges that he was soft on organized crime and mean to immigrants.
You see a pattern here?
Because remember, Chuck Schumer had a couple staffers.
One of them, both of them worked at that website that David Brock runs for George Soros, and they trashed and outed the private financial records of the black lieutenant governor in Maryland, Michael Steele, who has since announced his candidacy for the United States Senate.
And so here you have Democrats running dirty opposition research organizations designed to slime these nominees and Republican candidates.
And they sit around and they talk about culture corruption all over the place.
But, my friends, here's the piece de la résistance, because as I've told you, the Democratic Party mainstream is now its left-wing fringe kooks.
It is the people that populate these wacko websites out there, movon.org and others.
They're responsible for much of the fundraising, and thus they are responsible for putting words in the Democrats' mouths.
And they're mad as hell.
They are mad as hell the Democrats are not anti-war.
They're mad as hell that the Democrats did not meet with Cindy Sheehan, for example.
And they have their own litmus test for their presidential nominee, and it better be one that's anti-war or they're not going to offer their support.
So one of these websites is called Daily Chaos, K-O-S.
And some clown posted something about this Matthews document, this DNC document that Matthews was raising or waving around the other day about the sliming of Alito for being soft on the mob.
He says, well, look what we have here.
Tim Chapman at Town Hall has the entire Democrat document that Chris Matthews called disgusting and which Republican liars from Drudge On Down are using as the basis of their claim that Democrats attacked Alito for being Italian-American.
Only one problem.
Read the so-called disgusting memo.
Does it say anything like that?
Do a search.
The word Italian isn't even in it.
The whole so-called outrage has been a complete fabrication by Chris Matthews by Matt Drudge and by the perennially race-baiting right.
Oh, by all means, the memo talks about Scalito, a long-held nickname given to Alito by legal friend and foe alike, to describe his far-right Scalia-like views.
And horror of horrors, one point out of 15 talks about a case where a U.S. attorney, Alito, failed to win convictions at 20 mobsters after the longest criminal trial in U.S. history.
Doesn't say anything remotely implying Alito had any connection to the mobsters except prosecuting them and apparently botching the case.
So Chris Fairgay Matthews, in addition to being the smarmy sack of pundit crap that we always knew he was, flatly made up the part.
This is a Democrat website, folks, that you're listening to me read from.
So Chris Fairgay Matthews, in addition to being the smarmy sack of pundit crap we always knew he was, flatly made up the part about the Italian-American slam in the memo.
He lied.
He put two and two together in his own head, came up with mobsters equals Italian equals Alito as his own slam and then sold it as a disgusting Democratic attack.
Let the bastard hear about it tomorrow.
He fabricated the entire race baiting slam in his own warped head.
Ask him why he did it because as an Italian American, I am interested in hearing that.
Goes on and on and on to slam Matthews.
Now, this is from the front page of the Daily Chaos, taking vicious shots at Chris Matthews.
The New York Times gets a break today.
This is the Democrat crackup I am talking about.
The left wing doesn't even like what its media guys do when they try to be fair.
And so Matthews under bigger assault from his own buddies than probably you have ever subjected him to.
Quick timeout as we roll right on.
Stay with us.
All right, now I'm starting to get mad.
Now that now, what, Brian, what are you saying to me?
Now my backup T1 line that's been up for the last hour just went down at home.
I'm starting to get mad.
Nine days it's going to be tomorrow.
Nine days.
Without power or telephones.
I mean, it's just, well, I've got a generator, yeah, but I've got it better than most.
I shouldn't complain.
I'm sorry.
Take it back.
Two more bites here with Matthews and Howard Dean.
And this is really good because, and I don't know what, maybe Matthew is trying to regain some lost credibility after this Valerie Plame cliff that he went over, hoping for Fitzmus the last couple weeks.
But he continues to just bear down, bore in on Howard Dean on, why don't you just say it?
Why won't you say that your party is pro-choice?
The position we support is a woman has a right to make, and a family has a right to make up their own mind about their health care without government interference.
That's pro-choice.
A woman and a family have a right to make up their own minds about their health care without government interference.
That's our position.
Why do you hesitate from the phrase pro-choice?
Because I think it's often misused.
If you're pro-choice, it implies you're not pro-life.
That's not true.
There are a lot of pro-life Democrats.
Yeah, are they allowed to say so?
Name one.
I'd like to meet the person.
The last one I knew wasn't allowed to speak at the Democrat convention in 1992 was Bob Casey, who was the governor of Pennsylvania.
So Matthews still keeps asking him, and he still keeps avoiding the question.
So Matthews says, well, do you believe in abortion rights?
I believe that the government should say out of the personal lives of families and women.
Stop it.
Stop.
Stop right there.
Stop right there.
Stop, stop, stop.
Well, then I guess you're for social security reform.
Government ought to stay out of their lives.
Government's telling people they have to take Social Security, can't use their own money, can't have their own savings accounts.
What is this, Howard?
You see the inconsistency?
He doesn't even want to admit they're pro-choice, even though I'm telling you, run the test.
Go up to a pro-choice woman or pro-choice liberal and tell them you too are pro-choice, but that you choose the abortion, and they'll tell you you are not pro-choice.
Well, that's another thing, too.
HR saying, I thought this is a winning issue for him.
Pro-choice, pro-choice.
They ought to be shouting this from the rafters.
If the majority of the country's pro-choice, why is Howard Dean so reluctant to use the term?
Out of our lives.
That's what I believe.
I find it interesting that you've hesitated to say what the party's always stood for, which is party position government does not belong in Matthew.
I'm learning things here about a hesitancy I didn't know about before.
I'm learning things out here about hesitancy I did not know about before.
Dean's probably flipping his wig here and is making plans to get even with Matthews as the interview ends.
But the party believes the government doesn't belong in making personal decisions.
Can we go down the list here on how many personal decisions the government doesn't allow you to make without their involvement?
From how you use your property to where you can build your house to whether you can have your own private Social Security savings account.
Do I have to keep going?
I mean, folks, we have them right where we want them.
This is we just want them to keep talking.
They cannot back up their beliefs on substance.
And as Dean has just proven, they don't dare be honest about what they really believe.
We're here.
We're smacked dab in the middle of the fastest three hours in media.
I mean, two hours are done, over with.
They are histoi.
Except they live forever in posterity.
