Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And a pleasant greetings to you, uh thrill seekers and music lovers, conversationalists all across the fruited plane.
We got broadcast excellence, three straight hours here from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
A special welcome to those of you watching on the Ditto Cam today at Rush Limbaugh.com.
And I hope you've all recovered from the picture of the bust of uh of Hillary Clinton.
And I hope those of you that went look at it did not uh encounter any impotence uh last night.
Uh should you have uh been in the mood.
800 282-2882 if you want to be on the program well.
Uh ladies and gentlemen, the uh the Tour de France champion, Floyd Landis has apparently tested positive uh for high levels of testosterone during the uh the race, his team said today on its website.
What does this prove?
It proves that he's a man.
At least he wasn't taking estrogen out there.
You know, I saw I was telling Snerdley this morning, I forgot to mention this to you.
Well, I was reading the New York Times on Saturday during my Hermit Weekend, and I I turned to a section I never turned to, actually had the paper.
For some reason, Edwin put it on the on the kitchen table.
I said, I didn't even know we got it.
Obviously the staff's reading it and they're not even telling me, but some he put it there.
So I'm I'm pouring through this thing.
And I is I guess it's the style section, business section, whatever.
There was a story about how bicycle writers, you bicycle writers want to listen to this, and they were dead serious.
Bicycle riders cause more pollution that leads to global warming.
Now you're asking, how can this be?
Because that's supposed to be one of the healthiest things you can do, and you're not driving cars when you're riding a bike and so forth.
The answer in the New York Times on Saturday was it's because they live longer.
And the longer a human being lives, the more pollution he creates.
So I guess the Times is advocating either early death uh for for bike riders, because everywhere else in the in this wacko leftist movement, uh, everybody is talking about living longer.
I told you people yesterday that this maggot-infested long-haired dope smoking uh anti-war protester during the Maliki speech or Maliki speech uh before the joint meeting of Congress, the one that was shouting and had to be taken out of there.
Uh I told you, I said I the odds are that uh this woman was invited, was given a pass, get an invitation by a Democrat member of the House and Senate, and it turns out I know these people like every square inch of my glorious naked buddy.
It was General Major Owens, uh Congressman from New York who passed out the pass to this uh code pink babe.
Uh it's all over this in the New York Sun today.
It's in uh it's in uh News Day.
New York lawmakers led a boycott yesterday of the uh Iraqi Prime Minister's speech to Congress, furious that he still is not condemned Hezbollah's actions against Israel.
This leads us into Howard Dean at some point.
Be patient on that.
This is that Howard Dean is just, oh, this is too good.
Um every time I hear Republicans talk about, you know, I really think we're gonna lose the house.
I think I'm hearing people say we're gonna lose by as many as 30 feet, Rush.
It's really bad out there.
Republicans are really mad.
They really I understand it, but for crying out loud.
This some of the things Dean's out there saying, anyway, I got an email from a subscriber at Rush Limbaugh.com saying, I love this Iraqi Prime Minister.
He's done something that we in New York have been trying to do for years, and we have always failed, but he succeeded at it.
He kept Chuck Schumer out of Congress yesterday.
I thought that's uh uh pretty positive way to look at it.
Exxon Mobil Profits.
Ho, folks.
I'm gonna try to put this in perspective for you, but first I I have to I have to tell you.
Um on his page, Drudge has the story with about the Exxon Mobil obscene profits, of course, with the picture of the retired CEO, Lee Raymond.
This guy is obviously at Exxon headquarters or somewhere with an Exxon logo behind him.
Uh and and he just is is a big guy.
He looks he looks this picture looks like the caricature of the evil CEO that people conjure up.
Big face, lot of jowls, crooked smile, laughing himself silly, just having the best old time.
I think people are gonna look at this, and they're not gonna know this is the retired CEO, and they're gonna think that this picture uh was taken right after the profits were announced, and they're not gonna see any sensitivity on the part of the uh Exxon Mobil CEO.
Uh, but let's let's try to put this in some sort of perspective, uh, shall we?
Exxon made a lot of money.
Whatever that means, they made a lot of profit.
General Motors has lost a lot of money.
Now, as a society, let me ask they they posted uh continue to post losses.
Ford Motor posted a 123 million dollar loss the other day.
Let me ask you which is better.
General Motors is laying off people through early retirement, cutting back on benefits, and Exxon isn't.
Now, which one are you gonna be mad at?
Now, if you're move on.org, the answer is big oil has no right to make that kind of money, and General Motors deserves to lose that kind of money.
No business should make money, profits are disproportionate.
That would be the answer for moveon.org.
But I want you to consider seriously.
Uh Exxon's making a lot of money and they're not laying people off and are not cutting back on benefits, and their stockholders, their their stock prices at a record.
I told you that the the thing you should do is buy Exxon Mobil stock uh six months ago when these profits started rolling in when the price of oil goes up, the smart buyer buys the stock.
And well, there's no drive-by hysteria because the drive-by media thinks they finally defeated Bush.
Howard Feynman, we have the soundbite, was on last night with uh with Matthews.
He says he can read Bush's body language.
And he says, Bush is defeated.
You can see it.
Bush knows it's all over.
I'll tell you, the drive-by media missing uh a hugely transformational event in the Middle East because they continue to look at this through their through their old prism.
Well, let me continue on this uh Exxon Mobil stuff.
If if uh if Exxon's profit uh 11 billion and it went up a third, I'm not the best with numbers off the top of my head, but I mean, is that is that uh something like the net increase is about three and a half billion dollars?
Big deal, ladies and gentlemen.
But if you read the article, uh i i they round uh they go through round numbers like revenue rose to ninety-nine billion, which is not profit.
They throw around numbers like a thirty-six percent increase, they throw around numbers like ten point seven billion dollars profit was about a three point five billion dollar increase, which uh is just a couple pennies a gallon.
It's it is snurdly, it's just a couple pennies a gallon.
And gasoline's now, I guess officially over three dollars a gallon, right?
And we continue to see stories that people aren't cutting back.
And the more economists, and now this isn't this is not gonna impress anybody, it's not gonna mean anything, but economists are coming out and saying, you know, that the the the price of gasoline uh as part of the the family overall family budget is still not all that high.
It's just a shock based on the price being around two dollars, not all that long ago.
But in terms of the actual impact on somebody's budget overall in this country, it ain't that big a deal.
Now, to people who to whom it is a big deal, and there are many.
That sounds like an insensitive uh you know egghead analysis, but there has to be some reason why people aren't cutting back.
And the the reason has to be economic and lifestyle, the price still hadn't gotten to the point.
Oh, don't they can't cut back.
Of course they can cut back, ride bicycles, go out there and shoot up with some testosterone, running the running uh running the uh Tour de France.
Go out there and contribute to global warming by not riding a bike or riding a bike or or what have you.
Anyway, this Exxon Mobil story, they save this for the end of the piece.
The company's refining and marketing segment reported a 264 million dollar earnings increase to 2.48 billion.
All right, yippee.
Exxon Mobil said that it spent 4.9 billion dollars on capital and exploration projects during the quarter, up uh 8% from a year ago.
So 4.9 billion the problem.
Look at that, almost half of their profit went back into production.
Over almost five billion bucks of the profit goes back into production.
Let me ask you, wasn't government revenue really, really up last quarter?
I mean, way up.
Yes, it was.
July 13th, New York Times, 2005.
Sharp rise in tax revenue to pair U.S. deficit.
Big surprise has been in tax revenue, running nearly 15% higher than in 2004.
Corporate tax revenue has soared about 40% after languishing for four years.
Individual tax revenue is up as well.
Government's doing well.
Nobody seems to be upset about that.
By the way, in New Orleans, what are these numbers?
Jobs, pre-Catrina jobs are back up to 70%.
The job level, the number of jobs in New Orleans is now back to 70% of what pre-Catrina job levels were, and oil and gas is over.
Oil and gas jobs uh in the Gulf in the New Orleans area are 20% higher than pre Pre-Catrina.
And you might be say, so?
So what?
Well, if you're saying so, so what?
Then the question to you is obviously, how can that be?
The drive-by's told us the city was devastated and destroyed.
Why, as recently as a few months ago, we were hearing about how woe AR down there.
Nobody's going to move there, nobody's moving back.
The only work they can get is from the illegal alien community, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Uh sounds like things are starting to come back in New Orleans on the all-important jobs front.
All right.
Uh uh, what is name?
Uh, Nostralitis Nasrallah, uh, the Sheikh Nasralla, the uh Hassan Nasrallah is in Damascus.
He is in Damascus meeting with Basher Assad and the chief of the Iranian nuclear division.
The Israelis have intercepted some communications.
Uh, internal memos from Sheikh Nas Ralah to his fellow Hezbo fighters.
And they conflict dramatically with the public statements of Nasralla, who's out there being bombastic and boastful and saying, Vee, feel better, you better.
Whatever he's saying, they're not having that kind of conversation amongst themselves.
Um, and it is speculated by those who are in the know that perhaps Nasrallah, things were going well on the front, you don't bring the guy away from the front.
If you things are going well at the front, you don't call a big time general home.
When things aren't going well, you might call a big time general home for marching orders, but it does illustrate uh uh who's pulling the guy's uh puppet strings, Syria and Iran.
And by the way, Nas Ros, I'm I'm told driving around through uh uh uh what is it, uh Damascus in a Mercedes in civilian clothing.
He's not in his he's not in his turban garb uh or his uh Sheik costume.
He's uh he's running around looking as close to like a normal civilian as is possible.
Yes, America's real anchor man on a roll on the excellence in broadcasting network.
Interesting story here from the uh the Associated Press.
And this is uh an illustration, I think, of just how the drive-by media is blinded by the old prism that they continue to look through events uh at.
It is it's uh I don't know who wrote Tom Rom, our old buddy Tom Rom at the Associated Press, and he writes, these are dreary days for U.S. diplomacy.
A string of disappointments in recent weeks has left Washington's role as a global power broker diminished.
The unalloyed U.S. support for Israel during two weeks of fighting with the Hezbows in Lebanon and the American refusal to agree to a quick ceasefire are leaving the Bush administration ever more isolated internationally.
He couldn't have it more wrong.
He couldn't be more backwards about this if he tried to be.
He can't even see, let alone understand what is occurring right under his nose.
This is amazing.
There is a major transformation occurring.
These idiots are, they're just, they're totally clueless, if you would have the The fact is that the uh United Nations and the uh the EU and the Arab League are all looking at us now.
They have to follow us and our lead, whether they like it or not, and many do like it, but they won't say so.
They don't have the guts to say so, But many are happy we're taking the lead.
There's a whole new approach to dealing with the problem here.
Success is not defined by a Bill Clinton type or or Madeline Albright negotiated ceasefire.
But that's the prism that these people continue to look through.
Let me give you another example of this.
I mentioned Howard Feynman mere moments ago.
We have the audio sound bites now.
And to set this up, let me ask you a question.
How many times over the past six years have uh have liberals thought that they finally got George Bush?
Who is in the crosshairs, and we've finally taken him out.
And it's happened again.
Howard Feynman says that he can read Bush's body language.
And uh and he can read Bush's body language, and he knows that uh that Bush is defeated because of his ability to read his body language.
Uh Chris Matthews poses the question.
The politics of trying to welcome uh with warmth and real tribute, a leader of a country we're supporting like mad with all the lives of our people over there, at the same time getting him to speak the way we speak in this country pro-Israeli, how do you do this?
It was impossible for Maliki to do it, and that is one of the reasons George Bush in his press availabilities in the last 36 hours has looked like a defeated man.
I have never seen him look like this in all the time I've been covering him since when he started running for governor in Texas ten years ago.
You know, this is amazing.
Howard Feynman should stop looking at Bush's body and start paying attention to the events that are taking place around him out there.
Next question, Matthews says, Well, we um we we knew that whoever won the election would be a Shia, they'd be a pro-Iranian and pro-uh Hezbollah.
Uh who didn't know that this was going to happen, the president?
So what's happened is George Bush has been outmaneuvered on the chessboard of diplomacy, and the key thing for the American people is not all this geopolitics.
For the American people, it's the number of troops in Iraq.
And George Bush having to say that we're moving more troops into Baghdad was like putting up a white flag politically.
Bush's body language is crucial.
George Bush operates physically.
You can read George Bush.
And if you saw that guy yesterday and today, you saw a guy who looked like he wasn't in charge, and that's what scares the American people.
Oh, man, I'll tell you this disconnect is uh is is growing larger and larger.
You're moving troops into Baghdad.
We're in a war, it's a strategic move.
Everything these guys do is looked at through a political prism.
In this case, the political prism of how can it damage or will it damage or has it damaged George W. Bush.
Uh but I I I think I think Bush is sitting around the White House pretty happy with what's going on in the Middle East.
There's a new paradigm going on.
He's got his confirmation hearings for Bolton uh going on.
Uh while all this attention being paid to Bush's body language and all this panting and hope, we killed him!
We finally killed him.
He's admitted looks defeated.
He doesn't want to be president anymore.
Bush is reshaping the Middle East right before their very eyes, and they don't even know it.
Now try this.
The CBS New York Times poll has gone global.
When it comes to Bush's approval ratings.
Americans generally approve of President Bush's handling of the current Middle East crisis, according to a CBS News New York Times poll.
But six and ten say the president's not respected by foreign leaders.
Now, how does this jibe with Howard Feynman, who just told us what you, the American people think?
And that it's a white flag of surrender to send more troops in there to Baghdad.
Oh, this is horrible.
This is the worst thing Bush could have done for himself politically.
And here's this CBS New York Times poll.
Americans generally approve of the Bush's uh president's handling of the current Mid East crisis.
But six and ten say the president's not respected by foreign leaders.
The poll finds Americans are pessimistic about the prospects for Mideast peace and don't think the U.S. should involve itself in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Well, uh that's pretty wise on the part of the American people.
There hasn't been any peace in that region for 40 years.
What's out there to make people think it's going to happen now?
We're closer than we've been in a long time.
We're still a long ways away.
But uh, you're not going to get peace in this region.
I'm telling you that one of these two sides loses.
Let me put something in perspective for you.
By the way, because I keep running into people who say, well, you know, the Israelis just plop themselves down there and and create that country and it's it uprooted all these Palestinians and so forth and so forth.
Do you know how many Jews there are in Israel?
You know what the Jewish population of Israel is?
Give me a wild guess in there, Mr. Snerdly.
It's about five.
Five million.
Give or take.
About five million.
How many Arabs in the nations surrounding Israel?
If you're going to count Egypt, count uh uh about five hundred.
If you can if you can't so you got five hundred people surrounding five million people, and look what the five hundred are doing.
They're strapping bombs on themselves and they're and they're out to killing themselves and they're launching all these.
You think if there were 500 Jews surrounding five five hundred million Jews surrounding five million Arabs, that this kind of thing would be going on?
No way.
You gotta look for ways to put this in perspective, folks.
And welcome, uh great to have you with us.
Uh El Rushball.
And the excellence in broadcasting network.
Apparently, uh uh Fox News has just received an email from one of the uh UN peacekeepers killed.
Uh obviously the email received before he died or sent before he died.
Uh and he had admitted uh they're just reading portions of it now.
I I was just watching it uh as the uh program resumed.
And uh the apparently this guy, the uh Canadian peacekeeper, part of the UN mission there was saying they were not deliberately targeted, and the uh the Hezbos were were putting themselves in uh close proximity and uh pretty much buttresses everything that has been said since uh that the Hezbollah's uh uh were nearby on purpose, uh hoping to use the uh UN outpost as a shield, uh and uh and it didn't work.
In addition to that, um uh CBC radio retired Canadian Major General Lewis McKenzie was interviewed.
He had some very interesting news about the unit Zerver Post that was hit by uh Israeli shells.
Uh the Canadian peacekeeper killed there had previously emailed Mackenzie telling him that Hezbollah was using their post as cover.
Uh an excerpt of the interview.
We received emails from him, the Canadian member of the UN force a few days ago, and he was describing the fact that he was taking fire within, in one case, three meters of his position for tactical necessity not being targeted.
Now that's veiled speech in the military.
What he was telling us was that the Hezbols were all over his position and that the Israeli defense forces were targeting them.
And and that's a favorite trick by people who uh don't have representation in the UN.
They use the UN as shields, knowing that they can't be uh punished for it.
Uh there's there's uh uh ongoing controversy about this, as you know, but the uh the truth is is leaking out there that this was a stunt that the Hezbos pulled, and the real question remains when discussing this, why were they there in the first place in the uh in the middle of a war zone?
In fact, the Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, says that Israel's deadly attack on a UN observation post in Lebanon, which claimed the life of a Canadian soldier was a terrible tragedy, and he doubts whether the bombing was deliberate.
The Prime Minister also said he wants to await a post was still manned, even though it was in the middle of an obvious war zone.
Yeah, well, it's a damn good question.
Uh now getting the truth out's getting tougher and tougher.
Let's go to audio soundbite number two.
We have last night on MSNBC uh the Tucker uh Carlson program.
He's dropped the uh uh bow tie unit.
I get tired of being Chatsworth Osborne Jr.
So he's now just back to uh Tucker talking with NBC's Richard Engel.
Tucker says, Richard, looking at these really dramatic pictures you sent back, it raises the obvious question.
You are an American reporter for an American news network in a city that's been bombed by American warplanes used by Israel, but many people here blame America.
Did you feel threatened at all by the the crowd at the scene?
He's talking about uh do you feel threatened at all being in the uh in the in the uh close proximity and company of the Hezbos?
When the crowd started to get very excited and we were surrounded by people screaming at us and cheering up uh cheering Hezbollah, we decided that was the time to leave.
But in general, uh the Hezbollah and the people here have been very friendly to us.
They uh are desperate to get their message out.
Yeah, I wonder why Israel is not only fighting Hezbollah, but that is using a very that is using very heavy-handed tactics and saying that entire villages along the border with Israel are being depopulated.
So at this stage, Hezbollah still feels quite confident that it has a a story to tell, and I would assume they feel they can they can use us to try and get that message out.
You would assume you've just admitted it on the Tucker Show.
Just admitted it.
So they're they're carrying some propaganda for the for the Hezbows.
Uh uh here's here's uh Tucker, who was uh, I guess live from Lebanon himself.
He's on there with Chris Matthews last night.
Hezbollah is, at least in person, we were not able to take photographs still or moving of the Hezbollah leaders who were there, but they were amazingly Western looking.
I expected long beards of the kind I've seen throughout the Middle East.
These people looked very western, baseball hats, western shoes, a lot of them have English, uh not at all what I expected.
Wonder why that is.
Why is Hasran Nasrallah driving around in Damascus today in a Mercedes in civilian clothes?
You think it might be part of an effort to disguise themselves.
To make it look like civilians so they don't get hit.
My gosh, I I I continue to marvel at the at the uh what is it?
It's not stupidity.
Well, say stupidity, the blockheadedness or or what have you.
Now uh we got a CNN last night's situation room with uh with Wolf Blitzer.
Wolf is re uh talking to uh that famous reporter Nick Robertson, uh, who admitted that the Hezbos were steering him around and pointing things out uh in his first tour uh into Beirut, and that uh they wouldn't let him go in buildings, but the Hezbollah's thing that was who was in there and and uh Robertson later admitted, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kinda we uh we should have issued a disclaimer.
Uh it was it was a guided tour uh sponsored by the Hezbows.
So he's back, and Wolf says, Hassan Nasralah, leader of the Hezbollah.
We saw him yesterday appear on Almanar, Hezboltelevision in Lebanon.
A lot of analysts thought he looked exhausted.
He looked drained.
Body language, Wolf is noticing body language.
Does this mean that he's defeated?
Is there a sense there that these guys, these Hezbollah may be on the ropes right now, Nick certainly running for their lives?
I mean he would and his supporters would see his death as martyrdom and something to be proud of.
Um I think actually what a lot of people here really see is is that Hezbollah is able to inflict casualties upon Israel that no other army, Arab army, has been able to do.
And I think for the people here, at least Hezbollah's hardline supporters, that's something to be proud of.
I think that's the perception that we get from people here.
I think they do recognize their leadership's uh in a hard place right now.
But certainly I don't think we get the sense that if people here assess they're on the ropes.
Okay, so uh I guess can't read the body language.
I guess you can't trust the body language.
Bush is on the ropes, Bush is defeated, according to uh Howard Feynman and uh Wolf and the boys think that uh Has Has what is it?
Nasrallah uh looks defeated and on the ropes and so forth.
But Nick Robertson.
Nick Robertson assured, no, couldn't be further than the truth.
Why are these guys are doing more damage to Israel than any Arab country ever has?
No, no, no, no.
There they got they got hardline supporters.
That's something to be proud of.
That's the perception we get from people here.
Um Nick, what do you think you're gonna do?
You think you're gonna run around Lebanon and find people who want Israel to win?
You'll find some, but not where you're headed, not where you're going, not where you're spending time.
You're gonna surround yourself with Hezbollah, especially the Hezbollahs, they're not wearing the uh the clerical garb, the the you know, the sheik suits and all that sort of stuff, making themselves look like uh, you know, innocent civilians.
Next thing you know, they're gonna start wearing blue turbans, little light blue turp.
Yeah, they'll wear light blue turbans, making themselves look like the UN peacekeeping.
Well, that I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
Light blue turbines.
If I if if if I were running a Hezbollah's that would that would I'd one of the first things I would have ordered up.
Jim in Rockford, Illinois.
Welcome to the uh EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Megan Nittles from Rock, Illinois, right?
Yeah, thank you, sir.
Hey, uh, you know what struck me is uh uh your comments uh about uh Feynman and Matthews and uh the drive-by media criticizing Bush being down and his foreign policy uh uh in shambles or whatever, but I think you need to remind people, you know, of the strategic success of the Indian uh uh treaty that uh Bush negotiated recently.
And also I found it interesting that the media has given practically no attention to the fact that the uh Japanese prime minister was here what, two or three weeks ago?
Yeah, well, he went to Graceland, right?
Yeah, and then uh within a week of uh returning back home when the um when the South Koreans were were launching missiles, uh the Japanese uh uh announced that they were uh thinking about uh uh removing something from their constitution so they could re-arm.
And uh, I wonder if Bush, it's not a stretch to think that Bush probably has something to do with that.
Well, I think you know, all these things are true.
Uh uh the the best way to understand this is you've you've got the the members of the drive-by media are reporting news today, and I'm this is nothing new.
For the those of you to whom this is redundant, I apologize, but they report news as they hope it ends up occurring.
Uh so this reading look it.
We're talking about a serious journalist.
We're talking about one of the big names in drive-by journalism.
And he's pronouncing Bush defeated on the basis of body language.
Now stop and think for a second.
After you finish laughing, stop and think about the depth of reporting, the depth of understanding and knowledge of policy uh that that kind of report uh requires.
That's nothing but hope.
That is nothing but wishful thinking.
That's nothing but their dream of being powerful enough to bring Bush down even while still in office is possible.
That's all it is.
There are transformational events taking place right under their noses in Washington, in the Middle East, in Iraq, uh, and they can't see it.
I told you the story.
Guy came up to me in a golf course uh when I was on vacation.
You feel threatened by the massive disadvantage you have budgetarily with the big networks able to research and report and do things that you can't do.
And I said, No, not at all.
And he was quite stunned.
And I said, Why?
Why are you stunned?
And I said, uh because the well, he was stunned too.
I said, I'm I don't fear what they find because they don't use 95% of it.
Whatever research they dig up, whatever news they see, only five percent of it, if that much, ever registers with them, and that's based on what their action line of the day is, or what their template is.
So if if if Maliki comes and addresses the joint meeting of Congress and doesn't condemn the Hesbows, why that fits right in line with the action line that Bush is losing.
Why we have we have made this guy.
We got this guy elected.
Why, why we've lost over 2500 people.
We've had many more wounded.
He won't even support us.
Bush is just impotent.
Bush can't do anything.
Bush is losing.
And Bush knows it.
Look at the body language.
Well, that's that's how they report this.
I'm I'm telling you, you know, um, I go back to what I have said from day one.
What do they have to offer?
They can sit there and say Bush is defeated and they can cheer and they can do all of this other rot gut, but what do they have to offer?
What ideas do they have for winning the war?
What ideas do they have for even prevailing?
What have they done to try and win this war?
The answer is nothing at all.
Nothing.
I've got a story in the stack.
Another story about what the Democrats are gonna do to win the election.
It's every day.
Now I'm gonna talk about this one because it doesn't really focus around Hillary.
But every day that's in the news, okay, what are the Democrats gonna do?
It's about time they told us.
But they don't.
They haven't a clue.
In fact, hey, if if if anything, the Democrats and their allies of the drive-by media have done everything they can do to sabotage victory over this particular enemy.
They can walk out of joint sessions of Congress.
They can demand plans from Bush and from the Iraqi Prime Minister.
They can complain about timetables.
They can say we don't have enough troops or we have too many troops.
They offer nothing.
They offer nothing.
Back in a sec.
Stay with us.
That's not gonna please Howard Feynman of the Drive By Media.
But George Bush has just said the entire blame for all that's going on over there belongs to the Hezbows.
There goes the diplomatic solution.
Diplomatic solution out the window.
It's all the Hezbow's fault.
I just love it.
Try these headlines.
Dean calls Iraqi Prime Minister an anti-Semite.
Howard Dean compares Catherine Harris to Stalin during stop in West Palm Beach.
Howard Dean calls for end to divisiveness.
Let's go.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
This is a speech at a Democratic National Committee Democrat professionals for him, actually.
And here's the first of two bites.
President made a big deal about bringing the Iraqi prime minister to address Congress and met with him yesterday.
The Iraqi Prime Minister is an anti-Semite.
We don't need to spend 200, 300, and 500 billion dollars bringing democracy to Iraq to turn it over to people who believe that Israel doesn't have a right to defend itself and who refuse to condemn Hezbollah.
That's right here, Mr. Snerdlin.
This happened right across the bridge, right over there in West Palm Beach.
And I didn't even know he was here.
Well, Howard, let me tell you something.
You got a problem.
If you're gonna call Maliki, what is it?
Maliki or Maliki?
It's Maliki, right?
It's I've heard it both ways too.
The Prime Minister of Iraq, if you're gonna call him an anti-Semite, uh, shall we also say that uh John Dengle is an anti-Semite?
Uh, should we say that uh John Conyers is an anti-Semite?
How about Fortney Pete Stark?
Uh could we call him an anti-Semite?
How about Neil Ebercrombie of Hawaii?
What do those three people, what these four guys have in common?
They all voted against House Resolution 921 condemning the Hezbollah attacks against Israel last week.
So, Howard, some of the most prominent Democrats in the House of Representatives must also be anti-Semites because they have also refused to condemn the uh the Hezbows.
Let's go to the next sound bite from the Democratic uh Professionals Forum over Dawn, did you know where this was yesterday?
Brian, do you know what where where was the Democratic Professionals Forum?
What what building was it in?
The Kowanist Club someplace?
Here's anyway, here's what he said.
Thank God for Bill Nelson, because we'd have another crook in the United States Senate if it weren't for him.
He's gonna beat the pants off Catherine Harris.
Didn't understand that it is ethically improper to be the chairman of a campaign and count the votes at the same time.
This is not Russia, and she is not Stalin, and she will go back to wherever she came from, and Bill Nelson will be re-elected to the United States Senate.
Talk about holding a grudge.
Man, they still heading up the campaign when she was counting the votes, and she didn't count the votes.
She certified the count.
She was the Secretary of State.
But you know what's interesting?
He sits here and he condemns Catherine Harris.
This is not Russia, and this is not Stalin.
So he compares Catherine Harris to Stalin.
Now, the real Stalin and the real Soviet Union, they loved.
They love Castro, they love Hugo Chavez.
I mean, those guys are cool.
The real Stalins, the real Lenins, they love these guys.
Their political enemies, fellow Americans are the real bad guys.
George Allen had this to say in response.
This is the typical sort of thing that you're getting out of the Democrat uh leadership.
He is not an anti-Semite.
You know who is an anti-Semite?
His predecessor, Saddam Hussein, who was paying families, parents 25, 35,000 to send their son or a daughter into these murderous uh bombings in Israel.
And so it's just an absurd statement, and this is unfortunate because our country ought to be united trying to help this government, this fledgling democracy stand on its own two feet.
Before it's all said and done, there's going to be a knockdown drag out between Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean.
Uh over over the fate of this party when we get to presidential election time.
Back in a sec, folks.
I think it's debatable uh whether or not Howard Dean makes Terry McAuliffe look good.
Uh both punks.
They just come from different parts of the uh of the neighborhood.
Anyway, we will uh we will continue.
