Time Text
I cannot believe now there's a prayer vigil going on at Duke University.
Well, I guess I can understand it in one sense.
If they're praying for these the well.
You know, that's just the latest example.
And there are countless examples of what the drive-by media is and what they do.
Greetings.
Trusted members of the audience, conversationalists, distinguished members of the audience.
As a program exclusively for rich Republicans and right-minded conservatives and those who aspire to be both liberals listen at your own risk.
800 282-2882, if uh you want to be on the program.
Just sh just a little show prep here during the break.
We were just talking about this.
Christina Lynn Firstkill, or Firstke, 31, arrested yesterday on child neglect charges after she allegedly left her infant in a Sears Essentials store in Port St. Lucy.
Now, what do what does based on the research from this brilliant team of researchers in Canada?
We can conclude that Christina Ferske is ugly, and that she is miserable, and she's so preoccupied with her own misery that she forgot that her baby was there.
According to an incident report, she called 9 11 to report her child missing when she was driving home from the store at 5 15.
Story employee found the baby boy who's less than a year old about an hour and a half.
I'm sorry, half an hour later.
The incident report said that Fershke told cops she didn't remember the time between being in the store and driving home.
That's a classic case of um what we were told from this brilliant team of Canadian researchers about the about the ugly.
You know, we uh since the the media is obviously very, very hurt.
The drive-by media is now very disturbed by the title term that I have dubbed them, the drive-by media.
I think uh, ladies and gentlemen, it would be worthwhile to redefine for you exactly what the drive-by media is.
They are exactly like drive-by shooters.
They pull up to a congested area, they spray a hail of bullets into the crowd.
It causes mass hysteria, confusion, mistakes, and misinterpretation.
Sometimes people or their careers actually die.
And then the drive-by media smirks and they ride away, unnoticed in the excitement.
They're never blamed.
They're never held accountable.
In fact, they're lauded, they're held up as heroes, mostly by themselves.
And then the rest of us have to engage in mopping up the mess that the drive-by media caused, they're flying down the highway with the top down, laughing and looking for their next group of victims to launch the next ray a hail of bullets and mortar fire into in the form of the way they cover a story.
And this is repeated over and over and over.
There seems to be no stopping them in their marauding ways.
And that's what I mean by drive-by media.
A latest example is going on now at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, where we had the allegations of rape on the part of a 27-year-old exotic dancer.
Immediately, the media went in there and was convinced because of their template, the white guys had to be guilty.
There could be no question about it.
These charges are serious.
The nature of the evidence doesn't matter.
It's the seriousness of the charge.
You had the New York Times, I'm told, hiring detectives on its own to look into the 47 members of the Duke Lacrosse team to see if they could dig up the truth, because they just knew it had to be true.
In the meantime, you have a prosecutor.
This whole thing is political.
You have an elected prosecutor by the name of Michael Knife, and his election primary is in 21 days, ladies and gentlemen.
Twenty-one days.
That's how long he needs to keep this story alive.
He had a press conference yesterday, and he went to the university where this 27-year-old exotic dancer is a student.
He didn't go to Duke.
He went to North Carolina, whatever it is.
It's a different university.
And uh uh he said, as long as I am on this case, this case is not going away.
My presence here means this case is not going away.
And there was a standing ovation from the assembled gathering.
This was a day after initial tests found no DNA evidence linking any of the 46 Duke University Lacrosse players to an alleged gang rape at a team party.
Nevertheless, Michael Knife, the district attorney investigating case, told an emotional and sometimes angry gathering of residents that he remained confident about bringing charges.
He said further tests are being conducted and confirmed he was focusing on three players he believed assaulted the exotic dancer hired to perform at the party.
A lot's been made in the press, uh particularly by some attorneys yesterday that this case should go away, Nyphon said during a public forum.
Here it is at North Carolina Central University.
My presence here means that this case is not going away.
Several people who attended Tuesday's meeting suggested if North Carolina's Central's black basketball players were suspected of gang raping a white Duke student, they would be, as one speaker put it, waiting on DNA results in jail.
Nyphong responded that he could not arrest all 46 players and had not narrowed the focus to the three suspects until last week.
He declined to identify the three, saying further investigation was required.
So drive by media went down there, got this thing all stirred up, all revved up, on the presumption that such an allegation is always true.
Because this case was covered not factually, this case was covered sociologically.
This was made for the drive-by media.
A clash of races, a clash of cultures.
In the drive-by media scenario, America is still the racist nation it was during the days of slavery all the way through the 60s.
We still have marches, the equivalent of marches like we had in Selma.
Blacks still don't get a fair shake.
Nor New Orleans and Katrina, all about racism.
It wasn't about a hurricane.
And after a while, you would have never known a hurricane went through there.
Why Bush blew up the levees, Bush flooded the place.
FEMA's incompetent, but they're really not.
They know what they're doing.
It was just a bunch of blacks and Republicans wanted them to die.
Bush wanted them to take away the voting.
This is the this is what they actually reported.
This is what they believe.
And so you go down to Durham, North Carolina, where Duke is, and you have it made to order.
Clash of cultures, clash of races.
It fulfills the media desire that the races in this country not get along, that there be white racism.
Because liberals have an eternal self-loathing guilt about any majority, be it economic, racial, or whatever.
No majority is decent, no majority has virtue.
Be it the economic or the racial majority elites, except, of course, themselves, they exempt themselves from all this.
They are virtuous, and they're the ones that tell us how virtuous that they are.
Michael Nifwong is a Democrat.
He's 55 years old.
He's got two primary opponents, a black defense attorney and some ditzy female woman.
There are no Republican opponents, strictly a Democrat primary.
Republicans never win in Durham.
They don't even, they don't even they don't even run.
Nifong's saying he's awaiting more DNA results, but the state DNA lab is saying we've given him all the results.
There are no matches at all.
Now, we must be fair.
In the vast majority of uh sexual uh uh allegations, sex cases like this, uh uh there have been no DNA.
It's writ it's relatively new.
And so Nyphon is saying, hey, just because there's no DNA now doesn't mean that it wasn't there.
So he says, we've we prosecuted these kinds of sexual allegation cases all over the place without DNA.
You do it the good old-fashioned way.
You bring witnesses up there, and you bring and you and cross-examine them and you ask them on uh on the stand under oath of blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, this is this is this is pure politics.
His electoral primary in three weeks.
The DNA is clear on this.
Isn't it interesting that the Libs love DNA when it when it clears certain suspects, but they don't like it at all when it clears others.
Or appears to clear others.
There's a great piece today at um American Thinker.com, one of our all-time favorite uh blogs, racism 101 at Duke.
The negative DNA tests of the alleged Duke University Lacrosse team rape case raised the specter of yet another possible hate crime hoax.
The timing of the case just before a local election For district attorney, racial and class polarization in Durham, North Carolina, and the heavy hand of on campus feminism.
Sorry, feminism, have all politicized the issue to an extraordinary degree.
Justice has taken a back seat.
Thank you, Drive by Media.
The sport of lacrosse does not usually earn front page headlines, but that changed with the racially charged allegations of a black exotic dancer.
The woman who's not been identified publicly claims she was gang raped by white lacrosse players at Duke, who had paid her and another stripper to perform at a party.
She told police she was pulled into a bathroom, beaten, choked, and raped by three white men who yelled racial slurs at her.
There are photographs that show she arrived at the party with those wounds already on her body.
The reaction from the media, local politicians, school officials, black race activists, was swift and predictable.
Duke President Richard Broadhead announced he's canceling the rest of the lacrosse season.
The nationally ranked team will forfeit the rest of their games.
The coach resigned.
DNA samples were taken from 46 of the 47 team members.
The one black player was not required to give a sample.
The Duke Progressive Alliance posted mugshots of the white players around the campus with a headline, please come forward.
Students held a take back the night rally and banged pots and pans outside the house of President Broadhead and the house where the attack allegedly took place.
The players moved out of the house out of concern for their safety.
Before the results of the DNA test came back negative on Monday morning, most of the amateur detectives hyping the case had already convicted the white players.
The general theme was that the alleged rapes represent white skin privilege.
The issue here, said Chandra Gwynn, director of the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture.
Go far deeper than a single incident.
There are pockets of white privilege on this campus.
There's an embedded white supremacy here, said Travis Simons, a Duke divinity student.
For me, this is not simply a case of sexual violence or just a case of racism.
It is a case of racialized sexual violence, meaning if it had been a white woman in that room, it would not have gone down the same way, claimed Mark Anthony Neal, an African studies professor.
Last weekend was Duke's minority recruitment, said local resident Betty Green.
What a welcome for minority students to walk into this story.
I'm trying not to call it racial terrorism, but I think that's really what it is.
Not mentioned in most of the articles, protests, teach-ends, and dialogue about the incident was the possibility it could be a Tawana Brawley type hoax.
Which this program, and I, your host, raised as a possibility shortly after the event.
So, my friends, we have a classic example.
Then we're I'm going to post this American spectator piece or a link to it so you can read the whole thing.
Uh but let me just read to you the last paragraph of it because I got to go to a break here.
The facts of the Duke case, coupled with the prevalence of hate crime hoaxes on college campaign, should have at least raised a few question marks.
I mean, the fact that there was no real question raised by the media, academics, politicians, or Duke administrators, speaks volumes about the business of race in America.
The white lacrosse players will certainly not receive the apology they are owed and continue to remain in the DA's crosshairs as he trolls for votes among Durham's black electorate, his electoral primary 21 days from now.
That's three weeks for those of you in Rio Linda.
Then this is why there was no real question raised by the media or anybody else, because this story gave them everything they wanted.
The facts are irrelevant.
The nature of the evidence is it's the seriousness of the charge.
It's Clarence Thomas and Eita Hill.
Doesn't matter what really happened.
Boy, do we have a good story here?
We've got white racist pigs of privilege, disadvantaging a poor exotic dancer who's bla Oh, it just made the order.
Drive by media on this Oya, and it's in the South.
Never mind that Duke is one of the most liberal institutions of higher learning in the country.
But I guess if you're a white liberal, there's just a lot about this case that fits the template.
Some of it doesn't, though.
I'm a little long here, folks.
I've got to go to a quick EIB Profit Center break, back right after this.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, America's anchorman with talent on loan from God.
I want to go back to uh one of the items I was talking about the first hour of the program, and that is David Ignatius of the Washington Post today column in which he uh interviewed the former National Security Advisor for Jimmy Carter, Zabigniev Brzezinski.
Uh Carter and Brzezinski gave us this mess in Iran, and we're cleaning it up 30 years later.
Well, we're not even still cleaning it up, we're dealing with it and have been dealing with it for 30 years.
We've got Ignatius, he was on Fox today.
He's now been brought in uh with a drive-by media as an expert on now what we need to do in Iran, because he talked to Zibig and uh questioned what kind of creative thinking do you have in mind here, uh, Mr. Ignatius to deal with Iran.
He's asking if the reporter is asking a columnist.
All right, here's the answer.
I think the crucial thing right now is to gain some time.
I agree with Zabigniev Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor I quoted this morning, saying, in fact, time works on our side.
The mullahs really are a regime of the past.
And if we can attenuate this so the Iranian people have more of a say, more of a chance to shape their own future, I think the likelihood of a good outcome increases.
All right, as Abignev said some other things.
This slowed down.
Let's not rush into stopping uh Iran's nuclear program, which by most estimates is five to ten years away from building a bomb, even though they announced themselves they're going they're going uh batty here building centrifuges.
Yeah, but but see, time is on our side.
The mullahs aren't the future.
Well, let's go back.
Zabigniev Bjazinski writing in what he called his weekly reports to President Carter.
He put some of the excerpts of these in his uh book called Power in Principle.
I bet he wishes he hadn't done that, because let me read uh again what he wrote to Carter on February 2, 1979 on the topic of Islamic fundamentalism.
The conclusion from several studies, Mr. President, done in the intelligence community, is that we should be careful not to overgeneralize from this Iranian case.
Islamic revivalist movements are not sweeping the Middle East.
Talk about a wrong call.
Uh Islamic revivalist movements are not sweeping the Middle East and are not likely to be the wave of the future if we just emphasize moral as well as material values and our support for diversity and a commitment to social justice.
Let's just be good libs.
Let's just be good libs, Mr. President, and our dialogue with the Muslim world will be helped.
Let's just be friends.
Well, uh is it it's just showing our commitment to social justice.
I mean, that was very effective in dealing with the Ayatollah Homeini, wasn't it?
But what I want to add is uh uh the webmaster today, Coco Jr., uh big Coco is down a jury duty.
Uh and uh mentioned my name yesterday and they kept him.
So something's up there.
So uh well, they kept him for another day.
Uh we don't know if he's actually been selected.
Coco Jr. found a piece, the New York Post, November 2nd of 2004 by Amir Taheri.
And we're gonna link to this.
We'll post it up there on our website so you can see it.
I don't have time to read the whole thing here because it's uh Amir Wright's lengthy uh deep detailed pieces.
Let me summarize it for you.
It's a great piece on Zabigniev Brzezinski and Jimmy Carter.
And originally, uh, according to Amir Tahari, the Ayatollah Homeini feared thunder and lightning from the United States after the storming of the embassy and taking of the hostages.
Just like Osama bin Laden thought that well they're they're gonna come after us with everything they got, guns blazing.
And the Ayatollah was afraid that the same thing would happen.
It didn't happen, obviously.
And the Ayatollah, according to Amir Tahiri, soon came to see the United States after a series of loving letters from Jimmy Carter.
They tried to be nice after they'd taken our hostages.
He followed Zibig's advice and talked about diversity and uh social justice and all of that.
Uh the Ayatollah described the United States under Jimmy Carter as a headless chicken.
The hostages were seized, by the way, only days after Zabigniev Bzzinski met with the Ayatollah's prime minister for a nice little can't we all get along meeting.
I'm telling you, folks, this this this is one of the most incompetent presidencies.
And by the way, they didn't just screw up foreign policy, they made a total mess of the domestic economy.
Because of the Carter years, we had to come up with um the misery Index to measure how bad it was.
And that's where the term the country is in a malaise right now because of Jimmy Carter's idiot presidency.
And now, here's David Ignatius of the Washington Post, going back to the architect of the Carter presidency on foreign policy with his boondoggle in Iran, quoting him as an expert sitting atop Mount Olympus, telling Bush what he ought to do with Iran, and Bush remains the problem, not the Mullahs.
In fact, the mullahs, they're the old guys.
They're going away.
They're the past.
We don't even need to worry about the mullah.
So this this this Mahmud guy is not a mullah, and he's not young, and he's a wacko, and he represents the young population that's been influenced by all these mullahs all these years.
This is just classic.
Drive-by media once again.
Not liberal are they at all.
Amidst billowing clouds of fragrant aromatic first and second hand premium cigar smoke.
On the excellence in broadcasting network.
All right.
I have posted at Rushlimba.com the Amir Tahiri piece documenting further incompetence between uh Jimmy Carter and Brzezinski and Iran, as well as the American thinker piece uh on the Duke rape case, both at the top of the page at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Speaking of prosecutors, ladies and gentlemen, you would think that if a prosecutor is going to file court papers that adds to the political attacks on the president that he'd be careful about what he was filing.
The federal prosecutor overseeing the indictment of Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, Scooter Libby, yesterday corrected an assertion in an earlier court filing that Libby had misrepresented the significance placed by the CIA on allegations that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger.
Last week's special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald wrote that in conversation with former New York Times infobabe Judith Miller, Libby described the uranium story as a key judgment of the CIA's 2002 national intelligence estimate on Iraq, a term of art indicating there was consensus within the intelligence community on that issue.
In fact, the alleged effort to buy uranium was not among the estimates key judgments and was listed further back in the 96-page classified document.
In a letter to the judge, Reggie Walton, Fitzgerald wrote yesterday wanted to correct the sentence that dealt with the issue in a filing he submitted last Wednesday.
That that caused an entire drive-by media attack.
That that set off a three-day, five-day drive-by media frenzy.
There was nothing new in it anyway.
And it all led to this notion that Bush is leaking things, which is physically, it's it's not physically, it's impossible for the president to leak because he alone has the uh authority to declassify whatever he wants to declassify.
And he, by make making something public, he's declassifying.
All he said, well, I want to get the truth out.
This guy, Wilson, was lying about what was going on and what was in the intent.
And it's everybody knows Wilson's lying.
This is and they forget it, they ignore it.
The 9-11 commission discovered he was lying about all this.
And yet he's still held up.
Chris Matthews, I think, is is investing his whole pursuit of the Bush presidency on Joel Wilson.
But here's this process.
I mean, the f the prosecutor had to know that this was going to be jumped on by the media, and still, you got a large staff.
How does this happen?
It may happen more often than we know.
I don't know, but but uh something like we don't hear about it when it happens because cases are not as public as this one is.
Libby um uh well, what what the sentence should have conveyed is this that Libby was to tell Judith Miller some of the key judgments in the NIE, and that the NIE stated that Iraq was vigorously trying to procure uranium.
That's what it should have said in his filing, it's it didn't say that.
That's what he corrected.
Libby is not charged with misportraying or leaking classified information.
In fact, Fitzgerald not even pursuing that.
And said they this whole thing is it's it's this is it's Kafka-esque in a sense.
Well, it's it's it's a process crime.
They're getting him for perjury on the basis of his uh testimony before the grand jury, but it's just it's some some it's just amazing.
So you got you've got a political prosecutor down in in in uh in Durham, North Carolina.
Uh and it's and by the way, he says, Oh, this is nothing political about this.
This is about this is about justice.
My rear end.
He's not even holding out the possibility that this thing is a hoax.
In his mind, it happened.
He's taken the word of the uh the of the woman, and uh none of us know what happened.
We have no clue what happened yet.
But the drive-by media is convinced it did happen, the prosecutor's convinced it did happen, he's gotta get his primary victory in three weeks.
The uh the the mistakes in this filing from the uh independent counsel, Mr. Fitzgerald, knowing full well it was going to create a fire storm, a drive-by and media assault.
Uh just I don't know.
I'm I I uh Ronnie Earle, uh political prosecutor, uh you just have to wonder.
Uh Vanessa in Lancaster, California.
We gotta go to phones.
Uh it's been a while, and I welcome you to the program.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, diddles, Ross.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, and and also diddles to every mushy heartfelt thing anybody has ever said to you.
That blessed your heart.
Well, thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
I I wanted to uh make a point of something I read in your newsletter that Ted Koppel said.
Uh he here's a quote.
Uh it is journalists who should be telling their viewers what is important and not the other way around.
And I remember when I read that, uh, how angry I got that these guys would have that attitude.
And I never really believed it until I started listening to you, that they're they're really like that.
That's really true.
Well, they look, they consider themselves uh to be members of a profession.
Uh I look I know Ted Coppel and I understand how he looks at things.
Um he's he's uh I always liked him.
I uh we we had one we had we had one incident that that got me banned from Nightline forever, but uh I still I uh I like Ted Coppel.
Yeah, you have to understand here that they consider themselves members of a profession, and as such, and you're just an amp-rank amateur.
You can't be trusted.
I mean, they have a constitutional responsibility.
I mean, this they do think of themselves the fourth branch of government, freedom of the press, First Amendment.
And not just anyone can be entrusted with this.
It takes training, years of experience.
You have to wear out a lot of trench coats.
Uh you know, you gotta you gotta have certain kind of hair.
I mean, you're not gonna be an anchor on TV unless you have a 14-inch part, at least 14-inch part in your hair.
You're gonna be bald, you don't have a chance.
If you go in bald, you don't have a chance.
You gotta you there are certain requirements here for journalism very professional.
But there is that arrogance that that uh no, you you're not you you don't know what news is.
You look at it, but you don't know what you can't put it in the right context.
Professionals have to do that.
That's what he means.
But speaking of the of the Limbaugh letter we have in the March issue.
We have a great read on the disastrous Jimmy Carter.
It's on page 15 of the You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm uh get Diana to PDF that and send it over to the website.
I want to put that story since we're putting all this other stuff, Jimmy Carter up there today.
Uh I want to I'm gonna put that on the website too.
We don't very often do this, folks, but this is an added bonus for those of you who subscribe to one or both.
I'm not gonna put the whole website up there.
Do not ask.
Uh no, I'm not gonna put the whole issue up there.
What?
I said, no, I I misspeak, I'm speaking too fast.
I said I'm not gonna put the whole website up.
Well, the whole website's up there every day for members.
No, I'm gonna put one article from the newsletter.
I'm not gonna put the whole newsletter up there.
And uh it's uh so have you let's get it get that we can do it here, if we can scan it here or whatever.
I gotta Okay, terrific.
So we'll post that.
It'll be up there in mere moments, uh, ladies and gentlemen.
Tiger Woods is in trouble.
This is from the uh, I think this is the it's the BBC.
British media have taken their American counterparts to task for not reporting golfer Tiger Woods controversial spaz comment after the Masters.
The world's number one golfer, after uh finishing tied for third at Augusta, three shots behind the winner, Phil Mickelson, told a TV interviewer, as good as I hit it, that's as bad as I putted, and it's frustrating because I felt so in control of my ball from T to green.
Once I got to the green, I was a spaz.
Which is short for spastic.
The uh the Telegraph in London took a dim view of the comment and its subsequent reporting in the United States.
America's leading newspapers yesterday helped Tiger Woods evade controversy by ignoring the use of the word spaz to describe his poor putting in the final round of the Masters.
Leen Mayer wrote in the telegraph.
The LA Times changed the word to wreck instead of Spaz, while the New York Times and the Washington Post and the Boston Globe all expunged the word completely.
Only two U.S. sports news services ran his words in an unedited form.
The Telegraph labeled it an extraordinarily insensitive, if impromptu comment from a player who usually shows nothing but compassion for his fellow men.
Britain's biggest selling tabloid the sun took umbrage at the comments.
They included reaction from Scope, the British charity for cerebral palsy sufferers, formerly called the Spastic Society.
You didn't know that's what spastic meant.
You didn't know what that spaz was?
Mr. Snerdley's yelling in my ear.
What's the big deal?
What's the big deal?
Yeah, the cerebral palsy foundation used to be called the Spastic Society.
When you saw somebody that couldn't walk right when you're a kid, that I remember the term.
Yeah, that's yeah.
Spaz is is you're you're making fun of somebody uh who can't help it.
Uh and so the the American media cleansed Tiger's remarks, and a Brit media here is all upset about it.
So here we have Tiger being criticized for using a slang word because it comes from spastic, which of course, in the politically correct uh speech world we live in is a harsh and insensitive uh way of referring uh to a coordination challenge to person.
Uh at any rate, I I uh it's it's amazing uh that that this would happen.
But actually it's not amazing.
What is amazing is that the American media cleaned it up, and the Brit Media is all upset about that.
Brit media, not really fond of Tiger, goes over there and kicks everybody's rear end in their uh open championships.
Here are um, I have a whole BBC story here.
Tiger Woods used the word in a live TV interview.
An article on Tuesday in an online newspaper, The Age, tracked the reporting of Wood's comments, found that Spaz was edited out of subsequent news packages.
They also say that uh an LA Times reporter got Tiger to re-word his sentence, replacing spaz with wreck so he could report it with no problem, sort of like when John Kerry was given two takes at an answer nobody can make any sense of by CBS uh producer.
Remember that?
So the Brits hear about this, and they're just they're fit to be tied.
Now, uh the the top ten worst words uh for uh such that you can't use, apparently, in the Brit lexicon, are these retard, spastic, isn't that these are in order, top ten of number one's retard, number two spastic, number three, window liquor.
That really upsets me because I was just getting ready to use that.
What is a window licker?
This is one I I have no clue.
Mong, can't call somebody a mong.
Special, brave, cripple, psycho, handicapped, and wheelchair bound.
Those are verboten.
Uh and spaz is uh number two.
A quick uh timeout, folks, be back right after this.
Uh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Rushlin ball, one of the few responsible broadcasters left.
In the elegant medium, Rushland bought 800 282, 2882.
All right, we uh I did it.
Uh when I went out there and I said I didn't know what a window liquor was, I got everybody in the world now telling me.
Uh we went to the Urban Dictionary.
I've got emails from people.
Uh let me give you the first three.
From the Urban Dictionary.
Window liquor, a retard who sits in the back of the sunshine bus, that'd be the little yellow bus, licking the window while staring at you.
Window liquor, a definition number two, a mentally challenged person riding on the short bus.
Uh generally the uh special kids, they mash their faces up against the windows on their way to school, they lick the windows while they're staring at you.
I should have known that my my uh my little brother had this problem.
I'm just kidding.
Okay, so now we know I'm gonna pay for this.
Shouldn't be laughing at any of this, Rush.
And that's true.
And I take it back.
I uh well uh well.
Now you gotta be very careful, Mr. Snerdley.
He's starting to make excuses now for the continued use of the word spaz.
I have always known that that's I mean, I I remember it being used in grade school.
I mean, some some coordination challenged person would come walking by and uh little kids and look at this dance.
That's not the the point is that the the U.S. media cleansed it in their reports, and the Brits are fed up.
Here's uh here, by the way, are the details on Fidel Castro's drilling for oil.
This is from the National Association of Manufacturers and their website.
Now we've noted in this space repeatedly that our competitors must just look at us and shake their heads in disbelief that we won't tap our own rich reserves of natural resources, most notably with coal uh in Anwar and the outer continental shelf.
Well, now we can go on better.
How do you feel about countries tapping that supply while we cannot?
What if it's a communist country living under a dictatorship?
Unfortunately, you don't have to look very far.
In fact, only 90 miles from Key West sits Fidel Castro's Cuba.
Castro, worried about continuing to lift off the uh Venezuelan uh President Chavez's largesse, has decided to start his own deep water exploration as Representative John Peterson, Republican Pennsylvania, author of a bill that would open the other continental chef to common sense and environmentally friendly regulation.
He writes to the Miami Herald to help get a vital and abundant supply of offshore energy, Cuba has chosen tracts of real estate in the Gulf of Mexico as close as 45 miles from Florida.
Forty-five miles is just a bit farther than the distance between the University of Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Imagine what Castro's thinking as we spend our time quarreling over whether we should produce American energy 100, 150, or 250 miles from the Florida coast while he makes arrangements to set up shop hundreds of miles closer.
He must love that we've uh allowed emotion to win out over reason.
Facts to be dwarfed by fear, and our nation's energy policy to be driven by unreasonable environmentalist wackos.
Well, there's a part of me that loves this.
First, you have Vicente Fox announcing his big find of oil in the Gulf, and we don't hear a peep from the environmentalist wackos in this country.
Now we get Castro, who's basically gonna be drilling up our you know what, 45 miles from Florida from the Keys for oil.
Well, we can't we can't even drill 150 or 200 miles away from our shoreline.
And nobody's gonna raise a peep about this.
They're not gonna raise a peep.
And the uh the the reason they raise a peep in this country is because the people, I'm telling you, it's just like these immigration protests.
The people that are trying to stymie our own production of domestic sources of crude oil and coal are trying to damage this country's standing in the world.
They are anti-capitalists, and they hide behind the notion that all this is dirty pollution, and we can't afford the risks and uh and all that.
So when Castro starts drilling, uh, and and uh make no mistake, I don't mean somebody's got to give him the equipment because he doesn't have it, but he'll get it from someplace.
He'll get it from someplace.
And you watch what he'll do.
He will use his, he'll say he's using his oil revenues for the Cuban health care system.
And the retard environmentalist wacko left will love him.
Well, look at this.
The Oprah, the Oprah, says that wealth is a good thing.
Absolutely right.
She got no problem with it.
She makes no excuses.
She loves all of her Monolo blonde shoes.
Uh we have details.
Lots still to come.
