Time Text
Well, that tears it, folks.
I don't know.
It was bad enough.
It was bad enough seeing these pictures of the dead women and children in Khanna, but now CNN's out there showing pictures of wounded cats, barely alive, struggling to get to the food dish.
Now the Israelis are killing cats, and that tears it for me.
It may be time to endorse the Hezbos in this.
I kid you not.
I kid you not.
The pictures.
If you're watching on the Ditto Cam and you saw me go nuts here about two minutes ago, that's what I was going nuts over.
Well, looking at this.
Anyway, greetings and welcome back, folks, to Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.
Brand new week of broadcast excellence from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I, of course, America's real anchorman.
We don't seem to be able to get off this story.
It just keeps offering actually a lot of life lessons in this story, a lot of life lessons in a lot of things.
But this is maybe a real, real life lesson in terms of survivability in life as we know it.
No time soon, but it's going to have to be dealt with at some point.
And it's tough.
You've got to think of it this way.
I want you people to think of it in these terms.
It is tough to wage war against an enemy who considers the death of their own children a victory.
That's, I mean, if that's, maybe we need to keep letting them win, if that's how they define victory.
Because they're the ones killing them.
They're the ones putting them in harm's way on purpose.
The express purpose of generating the photos that, well, I've asked you to go look at it, the link I've posted on my website, www.rushlimbaugh.com.
By the way, the Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Olmert, said that there will be no ceasefire, adding that Israel is continuing to fight.
Now, that's good as far as it goes, but there are some people worried that Israel isn't fighting as Israel can and as Israel used to.
Mr. Olmert, no doubt a fine man, but he's a lawyer.
He's a liberal and he doesn't have any military experience, and he's overruling a lot of the IDF generals who want to do far more than is being done.
Yes, he is.
He's overruling them.
They want to go in a much more concerted force on the with concerted force, concentrated force on the ground, and that is being overruled in the office of the prime minister.
I just got a little note here from Michael Adeen, who writes at National Review Online.
He's also a scholar at, well, he is a think tank himself.
Whether he works at some think tank, he does.
I just can't remember which one.
I want to read you a couple excerpts of this.
Starts out by talking about, you know, this all seems like the 1930s.
And much of this resonates with me because we have discussed it on this program, how history is repeating itself.
Then he says, scary thing about our current jam is that 9-11 was supposed to have been the wake-up call, but we're again asleep.
And for this, I blame our leaders, both the administration and the Democrats.
The administration's constitutionally unable to explain itself.
The Democrats have no qualms about losing all present battles so long as they can elect their candidates and bring down this president.
So far, so good.
That dovetails with what's happened on this, what's been said here on this program.
The greatest failure of our leaders, with rare exceptions, is their refusal to see the war plane, which means that Iran and Syria, we may as well call them Saran, since they operate in tandem with Tehran pushing most of the buttons.
It was never possible to win in Iraq so long as we insisted on fighting in Iraq alone.
You can't win a regional war by playing defense in one country.
It was and remains a sucker's game.
Saran pays no price at all for killing our soldiers and our allies in Iraq and Afghanistan and now in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel.
And they're not.
They're getting away with it.
They're suffering not at all.
There's no human suffering going on in Iran and no human suffering going on in Syria.
Everybody else is dying for them or because of them.
Now, Saran reasonably concluded that there was no price to pay for killing us, so they predictably expanded the scope of the wall.
Our leaders don't see this whole.
They see each component as a separate issue.
We've got to deal with Bashur Assad here in Syria, and we've got to deal with the Iranians on their nukes, and we've got to deal with the Israelis.
They don't see the whole picture.
Or if they do, they don't admit that they see it to us.
And they don't share with us any kind of a strategery to deal with the whole picture if they see it.
They see Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers at work in Lebanon and Iraq.
They know the best weapons in the war come through Saran and in many cases are manufactured by Saran.
Any logical person has to conclude that you can't win this war without defeating Saran.
But not a single voice comes from the White House to explain this, let alone to craft a strategery to accomplish it.
The best foreign policy speech in a long time was made two weeks ago by Senator Santorum, and yet his relatively modest bill to support freedom for the Iranian people has been vigorously contested and systematically blocked by Secretary of State Rice and Senator Richard Luger.
Meanwhile, a collection of frauds writing in places like Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Mother Jones continuously recycles a story saying that a neocon conspiracy, again, code word for Jewish there, a neocon conspiracy duped Bush into going to war in Iraq and is now arranging the invasion of Iran.
Documented lies like those peddled by Joe Wilson to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff are treated as reliable.
Fantasies about American armed forces operating covertly in Iran, like those written by Seymour Hirsch, get taken seriously.
And people like me are accused of masterminding the whole thing, Michael Ledean writing here, even though I oppose a military campaign against Iran.
No one can doubt that this is a willful disinformation campaign aimed at paralyzing and then destroying the president.
That's what this is all about.
That is what this is all about.
Been telling you this for I don't know how long.
They will wreck this country in order to get rid and destroy George W. Bush.
And then they'll fix whatever mess that they create afterwards.
Problem is, the mess that they are making in the process of this is not one they are capable of fixing, my friends, because they especially don't see the enemy as the enemy.
And they see themselves as able to reach out in negotiations and dialogue and actually talk to them.
Whereas Bush, alternately a cowboy, then a frat boy, then a Machiavellian figure.
Well, he can't do it.
He's too stupid or too blockheaded or what have you.
Only they can do it.
So the Democratic Party and the drive-by media and the world media's desire to destroy George W. Bush is catching every American ally in that net.
Now, Ladine continues, I don't think the people in the White House have ever fully appreciated their peril.
I think that lack of understanding goes hand in hand with the failure in strategic vision that underlies our unwillingness to fight the regional war that's being waged against us.
It is the 30s again.
Many of the statements above apply to Franklin Roosevelt's first two administrations and to the political atmosphere of those dreadful years.
Then, too, the mounting power of what became the Axis was ignored.
As my father often reminded me, a few months before Pearl Harbor, at a time when Nazi armies were long since on the march, the draft passed by a single vote.
Apologists for Hitler and Mussolini were legion.
Some of our leading intellectuals were saying that American democratic capitalism was a failure, and we would do well to emulate the European totalitarians.
So I don't see this moment as something unique, the result of some inner rot or a moment on a greased skid leading to the abyss.
It's one of the many things we are, but we are many things, and we are not like the Europeans, many of whom are reviving their anti-Semitic fantasies in order to cope with their weakness and irrelevance.
So perhaps he says we won't wake up until we have another Pearl Harbor.
Looks to me like the American people would support it.
I don't yet see the necessary vision and will from our leaders.
He does raise an interesting question.
You and I sit here, those of us in this audience, you and I, I love what Ronald Reagan used to say, he always used to include the audience in the American, you and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
Well, we do.
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.
We know full well who sponsors this current bunch of Hezbollahs in southern Lebanon.
We know that Iran and Syria are the originators, and they pose the big threat here.
Iraq doesn't anymore.
Iraq did, but Iraq's been sidelined.
And I want to draw you another comparison here.
And I made this comparison before, but this would be timely time to remind it, remind you of it.
Put Iraq and Iran side by side.
Of the two, which one still poses a threat to the region and to the United States?
Iran.
How have we been dealing with Iran over the last, well, since 1979, so 27 years?
Negotiation.
United Nations.
Dialogue.
Resolutions from the IAEA and the UN.
European Union.
They say, we'll handle the Iranian nuclear situation.
Don't worry about it.
We'll deal with it.
It bombed up.
On the other side, we have removed Iraq as a threat to ourselves and to the region.
Iraq cannot support the Hezbollahs if they want to, which Saddam was doing.
Saddam was supporting families who blew up their own kids in these homicide bomb attacks.
It's not happening anymore.
So, and we didn't, you know, after a while, we gave up on the negotiation route, the diplomatic route in Iraq.
Say, okay, we're going to have to deal with this ourselves.
Aftermath of 9-11, still clear and fresh in everybody's mind.
So you got to run side by side with Iraq.
What looks to you to be the best way to have dealt with those two countries?
Which one still remains the threat?
And yet, as Ladine points out, we really don't hear anybody in this country voice this, either at the United Nations or to the American people.
We only hear about Iran in the context of nukes.
We hear commentators and occasionally somebody at some level in the administration talking, yeah, we know that the Iranians are funding the Hezbollahs and so forth.
But in terms of official proclamations, within the whole construct of the war on terror, we never hear from our leaders exactly what this is about.
Which is why I said earlier, maybe I was a fool to take them seriously when they declared a war on terror.
Maybe I was an idiot.
I don't know, but I believed them.
And because I believed him, it's why I look at what's going on now with question marks all over the place.
I must take a brief time out, ladies and gentlemen.
Michael Ledean with the American Enterprise Institute, by the way, for clarification's sake, thank you, Mr. Snerdley.
Great research there.
Would that take you?
Five seconds.
Back in just a second.
Don't go away.
I just got this, and I'm not able to study it and really make a whole lot of sense out of it because it's about a Pew survey on who watches television and what the partisan political split of various TV show audiences is and all that.
You get down to what's a Pew, P-U, P-E-W, survey of this stuff.
You get down to one section, who's got smartest, who has the most knowledgeable audience.
And on television, just listen to what this says.
On television, it's the O'Reilly factor.
It has the most knowledgeable audience.
27% of the audience are college grads, which matches the national average.
But, but, only three audiences in the Pew survey scored higher on high knowledge than O'Reilly and his factor TV show, regular readers of the New Yorker and the Atlantic, regular Rush Limbaugh listeners, and regular Weekly Standard New Republic readers.
I don't know if there's anybody above that.
I don't have that because radio and this stuff is not part of the survey, at least in the website that I'm reading this from.
But I have always known it.
I have always known that you people are among the most knowledgeable, engaged, informed, and educated people listening to any media in the country today.
And I think, can't, I think I've found documented evidence of it here from Pew, but it's just a little aside in a story about television audiences.
So I'm not really aware of all the full details.
And at some point, when I have time to go look it up, I'll do so.
Here is Donna, Southampton in New York on a Long Island.
Welcome.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Rush, it is an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
I started listening in 2003.
I was a convert from NPR, and I've never looked back.
And I totally agree with Pew.
Well, yeah, because I agree with him too.
Actually, not my question, but my comment is that I have a deep concern that I see Israel in recent days operating unlike the Israel of old.
Typically, they're willing to always suspend their treasure, but not willing now to spend the blood of their soldiers.
And I think this lack of resolve when they come up against the enemies that are always there in front of them are going to undermine any success that they can have and any real opportunity to live in peace going forward.
Any kind of peace.
I just think that they've made a very poor tactical error.
Well, a lot of people are thinking, as you were thinking.
A lot of people are wondering where is the Israel of old.
A couple of factors here, though, that you have to remember.
In the first place, everybody was stunned at the level of armaments and sophistication of armaments that the Hezbollahs have.
And so the Israelis are really questioning their intelligence right.
I will bet you behind the scenes, whoever runs the Israeli intelligence agencies are being grilled by whoever they report to.
The Israelis look at intelligence far differently than we do.
We've got half the country here who wants to suspend all intelligence operations because it's been characterized as Bush spying on the American people.
We've got the Democratic Party literally trying to shut down various avenues that we have to try to find out when the next attack on this country is going to be or on any of our allies.
Second thing is the Israeli prime minister, he's a lawyer and he's liberal and he's not got a military background.
And he's not associated with an Israeli military victory.
And there are some different things.
I must tell you, well, I guess you can't blame them in this modern era.
But they're apologizing every day, it seems, for every rocket launch that hits something, they're apologizing for it.
It's the wrong time for them to have a Clinton moment.
That's my feeling on this.
There are many types of Clinton moments.
One that we can speak about in the next conversation.
Yeah, okay, yes.
Well, that may be what they're doing.
Clinton didn't run around the world, apologized to everybody for things he had nothing to do with, blaming his own country.
I'm sorry we did that.
I'm sorry we did that.
I'm sorry.
You know, you look at the outrages around the world.
It's worth pointing out.
I mean, it's stating the obvious.
How many were killed in the Rwanda Civil War?
What was that genocide?
Was that like 500 or 800,000?
At least half a million.
Darfur, pick your African country for crying out.
Some sort of ethnic cleansing, genocide, mass murder going on.
And nobody says, in fact, Clinton gets away with apologizing for it after that.
I should have done more.
I should have.
Oh, what a great man.
He recognizes his mistakes and is willing to admit them.
While all this is going on, not one beef.
We don't hear any concern for whatever casualty count there is among Israeli civilians.
130 rockets launched by the Hezbollah yesterday.
130.
And we spend a whole day and a half talking about one bomb dropped by the Israelis.
It's an inverted world out there, and it's all so many factors here: anti-Semitism, genuine hate for Israel anyway, hate for George W. Bush, hate for America, and this sort of thing.
The distressing thing is that so much of that comes from people within our own borders.
For example, put it to you this way, folks.
If you believe that Israel is the bad guy, if you believe that George W. Bush is the force of evil, if you believe that Hezbollah is just an innocent bunch of victims, that they are not evil, if you believe that communism just didn't get a fair shake and needed more time, if you believe that America is the evil force in the world, that America never ever does anything to help anybody,
all we do is subjugate, all we do is bully people around the world, steal the resources of the world, create all the environmental chaos.
If you believe that putting underwear on Islamic terrorists' heads in Abu Ghraib prison are national tragedies and true torture, then you are one sick puppy.
You are simply and literally living in another world with very little grasp of reality.
You are delusional.
And yet, what I just described happens to characterize much of the drive-by, quote-unquote, mainstream media and Democratic Party in this country.
We'll be back in just a second.
Boy, is that ever true?
Is that ever true?
Real life, babe.
That is exactly what happens on this program.
No PR, no fakery here, nothing.
Folks, there are a couple of the things in the news out there today that I just have to squeeze in there.
We're still waiting for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
He is scheduled.
Now, we had him scheduled for an hour ago, and he's unable to make it because he was called into a meeting.
We have rescheduled him for the top of the next hour, a little over a half hour from now.
And as we all know, the situation over there situation is very fluid, and that could change.
But nevertheless, that's scheduled.
If you want to keep talking about the Israeli Hezbo situation and a war on terror, feel free.
I had some time to dig deep into this Pew survey for people in the press.
And it starts out here by saying news audiences vary widely in age, education, and how much they know about what's going on in the nation and the world.
And then there's a ranking here of various television programs.
At any rate, judged by their answers to three knowledge questions, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, The O'Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources.
Close behind are the regular audiences for NPR and the Daily Show.
It doesn't look good for the major broadcast networks.
At any rate, education, age, and knowledge.
College grads, this program number two at 37%.
The average age of the audience of this program, 51.
And the high knowledge score is 48.
And it's number two.
This program, number two in all of American media in education and knowledge.
It is preceded only by the weekly standard New Republic readers.
38% college grads.
38 is the average age.
So now the libs are dragging this down a little bit.
Yeah, well, the libs may be dragging down the weekly standard a bit.
So anyway, I just sent this up to Coco.
Coco's going to post this at rushlimbaugh.com.
Other items in the news.
You know, we talk about chick news on this program all the time, about how more and more women are entering the news business as producers and editors behind the scenes and how it's affecting coverage.
It's one of the things leading to crisis news.
Everything's going to kill us.
We do everything we do for the children and so forth.
There's a story, a bunch of stories, but I don't know if you've seen them or not.
But people are upset that we haven't had any hurricanes yet.
Well, we've had two tropical storms named.
This time last year, we'd had seven.
The media, Mr. Stern, Drive-By Media is upset.
They want disaster and they crave it.
And there hasn't been any.
And they're all worried about it.
So there's a story, I think, in the Palm Beach Post today.
Don't sweat it, folks.
We're just now getting to the peak of the season.
It's going to be bad out there.
Talk to me, some weather guy in Miami at the Hurricane Center.
He says, talk to me at the end of August, and then we'll know more.
Wait a minute.
I thought you guys have been making predictions about all this.
It's saving up to be a pretty normal year.
Last year was an aberration.
But you doubt me when I say people, here is a story from CBS.
CBS News on their website.
Northeastern Hurricane Could Cripple Economy.
Really?
What is your first clue?
Just listen to a couple interesting factors here.
This month, the nation's best hurricane experts met for the first time ever with nervous insurance industry representatives about a storm lurking beyond the horizon.
The risk is increasing, and it's increasing every year.
Catastrophe rick catastrophe risk analyst Karen Clark told CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller.
So we got two babes here, two chicks.
My God, a hurricane in the Northeast.
Why, it could cause horrible, horrible.
And you know, it's overdue.
It's overdue.
We haven't had a big hurricane in the Northeast.
It's overdue.
So here we've got a story about something that hasn't happened.
We have a story about something that nobody can tell you or even possibly know will happen.
And yet you are supposed to be scared to death.
And I think I only point this out for the obvious reasons, the hurricane disaster crowds upset that there hadn't been any action yet.
And chick news.
Chick news.
Couple chicks making news here with the women or women.
I'm not obviously criticizing that.
I'm just saying that it lends a certain culture to the news business.
I know you're going to be surprised when I bring up this next subject.
I'm surprised I'm bringing it up.
I saw this story last night and I looked at it.
My first reaction is, I'm sick and tired of seeing this young woman's name in the news.
I don't even really know who she is on the basis of her accomplishments.
I don't.
It is.
It's Lindsay Lohan.
I am so sick and tired of seeing her name in the news.
What was her claim to fame or what is her claim to?
All I know is that she's an incessant party babe.
That's what I get from her.
Has she starred a movie or something?
Well, whatever.
Whatever.
Herbie the Love Bug remake.
Disney's parent trap.
She's in a parent trap.
I haven't seen that.
My brother wanted me to get that movie to watch with my nieces.
They haven't been there.
I haven't watched it yet.
Well, okay, so I'll find out who she is.
I do know this.
Last week, she failed to show up for work, and a studio exec at what's the Morgan Creek Productions, a guy named James Robinson, wrote her a letter saying, you're going to have to stop this partying and show up.
You're missing too much work, and we got lots of work to do here.
You and your representatives have told us that your various late arrivals and absences from the set have been the result of illness.
Today, we were told it was heat exhaustion.
We are well aware that your ongoing all-night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called exhaustion.
All right.
Fine.
This is the people.
This is the guy who's paying her.
She's showing up late, not showing at a ball, and delaying work, delaying production.
So what do her parents do?
This is what caught me.
Her mom, what's her mom's name?
Dina.
Dina Lohan said that this studio exec is way out of line for scolding Lindsay Lohan for her absences from the set of her new movie.
Dina Lohan said the wording of the letter was ridiculous.
I feel when you are 19 years old, it is way out of line.
Maybe he has personal issues with whomever, and it came out with my child.
I don't know him.
I can't judge him.
I don't think it was a smart thing to do to a young girl.
Anyway, Robinson said, if Lohan does not honor her commitments, the studio will pursue full monetary damages.
Now, I don't know the details here either.
But the reason this caught me is she's 19.
She's starring in movies.
They're investing a lot of money in her.
She apparently isn't showing up.
And so the boss decides to reprimand her.
And the parent gets mad at the boss.
This is something my parents would never, ever, if I failed to go to work for whatever reason, if I was, and especially if it was my own doing that made me unable to go to work.
Boss was always right.
Now, granted, as I told you last week, this is also a function of having grown up in the Great Depression where you kissed your boss's foot every day to hold your job.
But there's still some, Well, no, at 19 they did because I started working when I was 16.
I started working when I was 10.
Apparently she did too.
You know, what is it?
I showed up.
Yeah, I mean, I showed up so much they kicked me out on a vacation so I wouldn't burn out.
I showed up too much.
But the, I mean, it just, it's odd.
19-year-old coddled, we can't have a boss speaking that way.
I understand the protective aspects of mothers and parents and so forth.
But I don't know.
It just struck me as an example of how we're culturally askew in many places.
And I don't know if this mom is getting off on being the mother of a celebrity.
And, you know, that's a problem, too.
You have no clue how that can drag down a family.
Everybody wants to get in the act and that kind of thing.
So there's much more than I know going on here.
And I will readily admit this.
And I understand parental protection and so forth, but there is a responsibility.
You take a job.
There's a responsibility.
Show up be on time.
What do you mean it's a little politically correct?
What I just said politically, I do.
In this era, I, my gosh, you can read a story one day, sterlingly, where we're not having our kids grow up too fast.
Another day, read a story, we're making them grow up too fast.
They're not grown up fast enough.
Now they're growing up too fast.
It's never too early to learn things like responsibility and commitment and this sort of thing, particularly a job where you're being paid and where your absence holds everything up.
And if your absence is brought about by your own actions, then a serious problem.
And, you know, I'm just, what I'm acknowledging here, what you think is PC, what I'm acknowledging here is I don't have all the details of this.
So that's, I'm not giving myself an out.
I'm just explaining my comments are related only to what is known.
And it's, let me check this source.
It's AP.
Rest my case.
Also, over the weekend, ladies and gentlemen, Saturday story, our old buddy Will Lester in the Associated Press, Carl Rove, blasts journalist role in politics.
Presidential advisor Carl Rove, the mad scientist, said Saturday that journalists often criticize political professionals because they want to draw attention away from the corrosive role their own coverage plays in politics and government.
Some decry the professional role of politics.
They would like to see it disappear.
Rove told graduating students at the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management.
Some argue political professionals are ruining American politics, trapping candidates in daily competition for the news cycle instead of long-term strategic thinking in the best interest of the country.
But Rove turned that criticism on the journalists.
It's odd to me, he said, that most of these critics are journalists and columnists.
Perhaps they don't like sharing the field of play.
Perhaps they want to draw attention away from the corrosive role their coverage has played, focusing attention on process and not substance.
Rove told about 100 graduates trained to be political operatives that they should respect the instincts of the American voter.
American people are not policy wonks, but they have great instincts and they try to do the right thing.
Process versus substance.
Spin, PR, versus reality.
All right.
Where did this run?
What newspaper did this run in?
Looking at the Raleigh News and Observer.
What?
No, no, no.
The one I just read was the AP.
AP.
No, this next one coming up, snorkel.
I'm moving ahead.
You want to do the Rove story again?
All right.
So here is, this is the second time I've seen this in about six months.
National Pastimes Changing Landscape.
African American participation in baseball continues to decline.
As Major League Baseball prepares to enshrine 17 former Negro League players and executives into the Hall of Fame, this story came out on yesterday, and the induction, Hall of Fame induction was yesterday.
The ceremony can be seen as both a celebration and a wake.
Today's event calls attention to the great athletes who played in the Negro Leagues while denied access to the majors, but it also calls attention to the slow death of baseball in black America.
Baseball doesn't have very much value in the African-American community, said Assistant Professor David Ogden of the University of Nebraska, Omaha, who has done extensive studies on the decline in the number of African Americans in baseball.
African-American kids see it as a slow Caucasian sport.
It's a slow game for white kids.
This year, St. Louis Cardinals do not have an African-American player on the active roster, according to team spokesman Jim Anderson.
And African Americans aren't going to games in great numbers as spectators either.
Ogden studied television crowd shots from 25 major league games in 2002 and determined that only about 5% of the fans in the crowd shots were black.
The study also cited a Kansas City Royals report that said even on African American Heritage Night, who didn't have that when I was putting together those things at the Royals, they must have added that.
Kansas City Royals reports that even on African American Heritage Night, only 3% of the fans were African Americans.
The Durham Bulls, a minor league team down there in Durham, attract relatively few black spectators despite playing in a stadium surrounded by black neighborhoods.
Well there's obviously a problem.
I don't know what it is, but somebody's up.
Somebody's up.
No, there is a problem, Mr. Snerdley.
They wouldn't be writing about it.
It's terrible.
It's horrible.
It's horrible.
I've had, you know, I was watching one ESPN show, and they were bringing all these experts in to talk about the problem and what's causing it is racism in baseball.
No, it's all about, no, I'll tell you what people believe in the black community.
It's not that it's a slow game for white kids.
Sorry, Caucasian kids.
It's that team owners and general managers don't want black heroes.
They want white center fielders.
They want white shortstops.
They want white power hitters.
But you also don't count Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter as African American in this scenario.
You don't count Latin players or Dominican players as black.
African American is its separate niche here.
And you have to go a long way.
If you hear, you heard me say that the St. Louis Cardinals do not have one African-American player.
Next time the Cardinals are on watch television, tell me how many white players you see.
It really, you know, it's interesting what's going on.
It's just, it's the latest way to charge racism.
I didn't read this whole story, so I don't know if this guy writing in the Raleigh paper does that, but they did it.
Who is that?
Stephen A. Smith guy that the ESPN2 gave a show to.
He's a columnist in Philadelphia.
And let's see what else.
George Allen's pulled way ahead of Jim Webb in Virginia.
In their first debate, Webb had no clue about what or where Craney Island is in Virginia.
And Craney Island is huge in terms of Virginian history.
And it illustrated he's a carpetbagger coming in, doesn't know.
Well, you want to hear about Craney's?
I'll do it the next hour when I got more time.
We got Netanyahu coming up, top of the next hour.
Donald Landro in the Washington Times yesterday, Democrats failed to win big Hispanic support.
A great piece here by Carrie Roberts, a Washington area writer, about a forum he went to, Women Good, Women Bad.
Or not a forum he went to.
I'll explain this when we come back because I got a hard break.
I got to go.
Okay, we're still waiting for Benjamin Netanyahu.
We have not heard any change in the 206 timeframe, so we'll assume he'll be with us when the top of the next hour commences.
Look forward to it.
