Time Text
Ha!
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
You're tuned to the leading Radio Talk Show in America program with the most knowledgeable and informed audience in all of broadcast media, according to the Pew Center for people and the press.
This is the Rush Limbaugh program, and that audience is you.
And we here couldn't be happier and more proud or prouder, whatever.
And frankly, we're not surprised by any of it.
800-282-2882, you want to be on the program?
Email address rush at EIBnet.com.
Well, the Israelis have come through with their commitment here to expand the scope of the ground war.
Tanks, armored personnel carriers have been rolling into southern Lebanon for a while now.
The leader of the Hezbollahs, Sheikh Nosair Nasrallah, has said that southern Lebanon will become a graveyard for Israeli soldiers.
So the ground war is heating up, as many have thought that it might.
In the meantime, the French are all upset at the lingo in this resolution.
The other aspects of the effort to come up with a resolution here appear to be teetering.
Lebanon's government should guarantee the withdrawal of Hezbollah guerrillas fighting Israeli forces at the same time as sending the National Army into the south of the country.
The French said today, Foreign Minister Felipe Duste Blase, and of course that's just an anglicized pronunciation of the name, because I frankly like the way it sounds.
Philippe Dusteblase said that Beirut's offer to deploy 15,000 troops to southern Lebanon was a significant development as it had been taken by a government that included Hezbo ministers.
Bottom line is this amounts to nothing.
These troops, as pointed out yesterday, did nothing all of these years.
This is a status quo proposal that the French are making simply to make sure that the status quo remains.
15,000 Lebanese soldiers aren't going to do anything to stop the Hezbos.
This is a trick, not going to happen.
In addition, the United States and France appear to be at odds today over Arab demands to change a UN resolution that they're co-sponsoring to call for a complete cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
France proposed new language and a total ceasefire and Israeli pullout, but the Americans rejected it out of concern that without a robust international force, a vacuum would be created in southern Lebanon, which is a Hezbo stronghold, the diplomats said.
Both countries welcomed Lebanon's announcement that it would deploy its 15,000 soldiers, that announcement not welcomed here at the EIB network and our diplomatic unit.
The U.S. doesn't believe this force and UN peacekeepers can prevent a vacuum without the international force, the diplomats said.
The bottom line is that this peace process and these resolutions are going nowhere because here we are with the United States.
We came up, we thought we had an agreement with the French.
It would allow the Israelis to stay where they are in southern Lebanon until the international force got there.
And now but it wants the Israelis out before the international force gets there.
And now they want the 15,000 strong Lebanese army, or at least 15,000 members of the Lebanese army to go in there and keep the peace, which, of course, won't happen.
All this happening while the Israelis have rejected the troop pullout until the peacekeepers are in place.
At the rate that we're going here, the peacekeepers won't be in place.
There aren't any peacekeepers anyway.
It's a big joke.
There just aren't any peacekeepers.
All right, moving on to other things.
It actually happened.
I didn't think when I saw it that the Clintons would let this happen, but it has happened.
That sculpture, the presidential bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the first woman president of the United States of America, has been put on display at the Museum of Sex in New York.
It happened yesterday, ladies and gentlemen.
What is today?
This is the 9th.
It happened today.
I mean, you see the picture of that bust.
We put it up there on the website.
My God, it looks like a porno bust, as I'm not surprised it would, well, at least from the neck down.
It's the Museum of Sex.
It's there.
All right, as you know, there were 11 nutcase Egyptians running around like ghosts in this country.
The FBI had posted an alert saying, hey, keep a sharp eye.
We've got an alert for these guys.
Turns out that one of them has been found.
ABC News has learned that one of the 11 missing Egyptian students has been found in Minnesota and is in custody.
Now, these guys entered the country some time ago ostensibly to go to Montana State University.
They're going to go to classes at Montana State University.
One of the Egyptians found in Minnesota.
Federal law enforcement officials expected to issue a written statement shortly.
Student being interviewed by federal officials.
Other details not immediately available.
No word on the other 10 missing students at this point.
These guys arrived here last month.
They're being sought by authorities after failing to turn up for an exchange program at Montana.
Ah, that's what explains it.
I was wondering why they go to Montana.
It's nothing against Montana, but this didn't, it didn't, it didn't jibe why 11 Egyptian students would go to Montana, but it's an exchange program.
That totally explains it.
They were, let's see, they were among a group of 17 students who arrived at JFK International Spaceport in New York from Cairo on July 29th.
They had valid visas.
The other six have arrived in Bozeman, Montana campus for a month-long program on English language instruction and U.S. history and culture.
Now, okay, so we got 10 of these guys running around.
Nobody knows where they are, and we're desperately seeking them.
Al-Qaeda's number two leader in a new videotape aired last Saturday said that an Egyptian militant group has joined Al-Qaeda.
Wow.
Hunky-dory, isn't it?
It was the first time that Al-Qaeda has announced a branch in Egypt.
A branch, like a bank.
Let's see.
By the way, Egypt is the Arab world's most populous nation.
The Egyptian group Gama Islamiyah is apparently a revived version of a militant group of the same name that waged a campaign of violence in Egypt during the 90s, but was crushed in a government crackdown.
So it is possible to crush these guys.
And it is possible for governments to crush these guys.
So at any rate, we got these 10 Egyptians running around, and we have Al-Qaeda.
The Al-Qaeda guy, this Al-Zawahiri, I'll tell you what's going on to me anyway.
These guys are human beings in the, I mean, even at the base level.
And it seems like every six months we get a new terrorist hero.
It's Bin Laden.
And then it was Muki, Al-Sadr, and then it was Al-Zarqawi.
Now Zawahiri, say, say, hey, hey, we're the big guys here.
We're al-Qaeda!
Just to prove it, we've opened a branch in Egypt.
Now we got Nosair Nasrallah out there stealing the thunder of all the terrorists.
But you know, there's something else to be said about that.
Could we connect the dots on all this?
We go from bin Laden to Muki Al-Sadr to Mosab Abu, whatever, Al-Zarqawi, Abu Musab, Al-Zarqawi.
Then we go, we go back to what's his face, Zawahiri shows up, bin Laden, a couple tapes.
Now we got Nasrawa of the Hezbo's.
What does all this mean?
We're getting caught up here as we do in this culture of celebrity and individuals.
They all represent the same thing.
They all represent, look where they are.
Now they're in Lebanon.
They've been there.
Well, they've been these places all over the place.
Now they branched out to Egypt.
They've been there for a while.
This is a worldwide enemy that we face.
And they just keep changing the faces on us for obvious PR reasons.
And in each, Zarkawi, after he was gunned down, we got puff profile pieces on him.
We've had puff pieces on bin Laden.
In fact, who was it?
Patty Murray, the senator from Washington?
She's the first one.
It's no wonder that the Hezbos learn a lot from us.
Patty Murray goes out there and says, well, no wonder the people over there love Bin Laden.
He builds roads.
He builds schools.
He runs social programs.
Like, we don't.
We wrote the book on it.
Well, after the Soviets, we wrote the book on doing it well, quote unquote.
So now the Hezbollah are out there putting up story.
They're great social workers.
They got great social programs.
They got hospitals and nurses and doctors and all that sort of stuff.
But it's all the same bunch of people.
It's all the same thing.
Whoever is Muki, Abu Mosab, Zawahiri, and Nasrallah, they're all the same bunch.
Whether we're fighting them in Lebanon, whether they're fighting them in Afghanistan or Iraq, it's all the same bunch of people.
And it's, I think some people don't want to admit that.
They're not just little individual, disparate groups.
They are, but they all have a unifying hatred about them.
And it is interesting.
I think Zawahiri is getting a little fed up with all the attention this Nasrallah guy is getting.
So all these tapes are coming out from Al-Qaeda with his announcement, hey, we've branched out now.
We've got an office in Egypt.
I shouldn't be laughing because it isn't funny, but it is to me in the sense that they have egos.
Like all the rest of us.
Back here in just a second.
Stay with me.
And the Clintons strike again.
Don't forget that Bill went in there and endorsed Senator Lieberman.
It's a kiss of death.
Ask the Democratic candidate for governor in Hawaii.
Ask any of them.
It's kissing.
A guy comes in, endorses, and it's he stoop.
By the way, an Egyptian militant group denied that it had joined al-Qaeda, saying the majority of its members were sticking by a truce with the government declared almost a decade ago in a statement posted on their website.
The group said it flatly denies what Ayman al-Zawahiri had said about it joining al-Qaeda.
Well, trouble in paradise out there, ladies and gentlemen.
New Al-Qaeda branch in Egypt doesn't want to fess up to it.
Ed in Portland, Oregon.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Hi, Rush.
Mega Dittos from Desert Island here in the People's Republic of Portland.
I feel for you.
I'm just curious, where is Russia's account for their responsibility of the failed states they left after we defeated them in the Cold War, And they don't account for that, and they have incidents like the school in Bezlam.
I expect more from them.
What do you mean?
I'm not following you.
Where's Russia?
Who do you want to hold them account?
Well, Syria, number one, would be first on the list.
And then obviously they've gotten a little cozy with Iran since then.
So I'm just confused by their lack of action, I guess.
I have to admit to being confused.
You're describing Putin's actions against Muslims, right?
In Chechnya and in other places, and you're wondering what about that?
Well, I'm wondering why they are not more alongside of us trying to defend against terrorism and that type of thing.
All right.
Well, that's a pretty easy answer.
And it's a chilling answer.
The fact of the matter is that Russia has vast economic deals with Iran.
And a lot of them involve arms.
Don't know what their relationship is with Syria, but let me tell you something.
We are almost in this battle.
Aside from the Brits, we're alone.
You have to understand China and Russia are working hand in hand with Iran on energy, on missiles, on arms, nuclear capability.
And we're the target of this.
The Chinese are not our friends.
The Chinese, when it comes to all this, we have enemies out there.
We're the guys at the top.
We're the ones.
Everybody is two things, gunning for, and they're afraid of us as well.
Now, I don't think they're afraid that we're going to attack them.
They're afraid of our economic power.
They're afraid that if we did attack them, that it would be bad news for them.
And these are countries that are trying to buy a little peace at the same time with these sworn enemies of the United States.
And there's plenty of anti-Semitism in Russia as well, which would explain their alliance with Iran.
So does that answer the question?
Well, I would just.
I would have thought there was a little bit more fear in Russia of terrorism and the Muslim fascism that.
Hell no, they quash it.
You remember what they did when the Chechens overran the opera house or whatever, took all the hostages?
You know what they did?
They killed everybody.
Yeah, but do you know how they did it?
Have you ever heard of fentanyl?
No.
Fentanyl is an opiate.
It's used as a patch.
You put a patch on your arm.
It's for really, really severe post-operative pain, cancer pain, this kind of thing.
They found a way to convert it into a gas.
They gassed those people to death.
They were all in that, I think it was an opera house, whatever it was.
And this had never been done before.
And it sent shockwaves around the world.
This was a chemical weapon.
They put so much of it in there.
These people stopped breathing.
Opiates in great quantities will suppress the respiratory system.
The people in there died happy because of the euphoric effect of opiates, but they died.
They didn't put up with it.
Putin doesn't put up with it.
Chinese don't put up with it.
You know, Putin didn't run around saying, why do they hate us?
Putin said, screw you.
You're dead.
We're not going to let you do that.
The Chinese would do the same thing.
We're running around trying to figure out why do they hate us?
So, you know, the Iranians, I think they have a little fear of the Russians.
I would be too.
You've got a former KGB guy running the country.
I saw something the other day.
I've been wondering what happened to this guy.
It was just yesterday.
Might have been last.
I forget.
I was watching television and I saw an old familiar face that I haven't seen in since before the Berlin Wall came down.
Does the name Vitaly Churkin mean anything to you?
Vitaly Churkin during the Gorbachev days, crisis in the Cold War, whenever any media was on crossfire all the time, Vitaly Churkin.
Well-spoken, obviously Russian, but flawless and perfect English, better than people in Rio Linda speak it.
I once interviewed Vitaly Churkin when I went to Washington.
I was still working in Sacramento in 1985, 86, and he was there long before that.
And I once interviewed him, and he's back.
He's a UN ambassador.
He works in the UN mission, the Soviet or the Russian.
So I don't know what that means.
Not going to level any accusations.
Mr. Churkin can be a totally nice guy.
I asked him, do you live at the embassy in Washington?
No, I live out someplace in Virginia with the natives.
He was kind of curious about my question.
I even asked him, UKGB.
I just pointed.
I thought, you know, I stayed at the Mayflower Hotel and I was sure my room was bugged that night before the interview.
That's the way we thought about the Soviets back then.
Anyway, the point of this is that you would think the Russians would be on our side with this, but anything that weakens us, the Chinese love, anything that distracts us, Chinese, Russians love.
This is playing for Keeps time, folks.
I mean, a lot of people out there, because we're so affluent, we've got so much time on our hands, free to ignore all this stuff.
But we're a great country.
Great risk.
Dangerous world.
I mean, there's no question about it.
Your host for life, Rush Limbaugh.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair here on the EIB network, a state panel in the state of Washington.
The state panel has disciplined a judge there who ordered cheers in court for the Super Bowl-bound Seattle Seahawks before issuing a manslaughter sentence.
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Beverly Grant asked about 100 people in court to say go Seahawks before taking their seats on February 3rd.
Dissatisfied with the low volume of the response, she repeated the request.
That same day, she sentenced Steve Keotang to 13 and a half years for manslaughter in the 2005 shooting death of Tino Patricelli, who was 28 years old.
The Seahawks lost, as you know, to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Grant, who was appointed to the bench in 2003, apologized the following Monday, eventually filed the formal conduct complaint against herself.
Well, that's big of her.
Filed a formal complaint against herself.
She said, Although my intentions were to diffuse the courtroom situation, I realize now the inappropriateness of my opening comments by asking people in court to cheer Ghost Seahawks.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, he told you yesterday of a sperm bank plan.
Guys go in, donate sperm, and they're allowed to make a recording to the sperm.
It'll be played later when the sperm is 18.
This was dubbed the sperm monologues.
Well, there's some new news on this.
Not specifically that, but there's new sperm news out there.
This is from the Scotland Daily Record.
Only one man in the whole country.
This is It's hard to believe.
Only one man in Scotland is donating sperm to help infertile couples have children, it was claimed yesterday.
Revelation was made as a support group warned Britain is facing a national shortage.
Not of sperm, ladies and gentlemen, of donated sperm.
It's a different category.
Campaigners for donated sperm blame the crisis on the government's decision to allow children to find out who their donor fathers are.
Thousands of vials of sperm have been destroyed because donors didn't want to be identified.
Across the UK, as few as 10 new donors are found every month, down from 30 a few years ago.
Campaigners for donated sperm said that fertility clinics are being forced to close, leaving thousands of couples childless.
And then there is this story.
According to an article in yesterday's The Independent on Sunday, a marked decline in UK sperm bank reserves has meant that supplies have had to be shipped in from the USA, from Denmark, and from Spain.
Describing the situation as a national crisis, the article explains how some fertility clinics have either been forced to close or at least turn away patients.
But the Spaniards and Americans are coming through, ladies and gentlemen, with donated sperm.
Mark in Las Vegas, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Russ, Megadittos.
Thank you.
I had a question about a possible McCain-Lieberman independent presidential ticket.
Okay.
Each one appeals to the other side.
Well, this is contingent, of course, on McCain running as an independent.
Right.
Because if McCain runs, if he gets a Republican nomination, he will not choose Lieberman to be his nominee in that circumstance.
Right, but if he doesn't get the Republican, and if Hillary or Al Gorcawi gets the Democratic one, then they'd be left to be independent.
Al-Zarkowi is Al-Zarkowi?
Al Gore.
Al Gore.
Al-Zarcawi is dead.
No, no, Al-Ghari.
I don't know if he wanted to be on a Democrat ticket or not.
The all-Netfrick ticket.
Zarkowi McCain.
The latest polling data shows that Rudy Giuliani beats Hillary in a Republican versus Democrat presidential contest in 2008.
Rudy, I think, is running.
I'll bet you Newt Gingrich decides to run.
I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if things break.
I know he's probably looking at it.
If things break, he might run.
I guess it's all wide open.
I think it's impossible to handicap this and predict where all this is going.
Too much is in flux.
But Frank, excuse me, I don't think that McCain would choose Lieberman.
Just to cut to the chase, your question.
Not really.
Even for an independent ticket?
Not even for an independent ticket.
No way.
No way.
Because McCain would say, I don't choose Lucius, buddy.
And you lost.
Yes.
And I love you.
I love you.
But I am about winners.
So I don't think that would be the.
Look, not going to pick a guy who was on the vice presidential ticket eight years prior and lost.
So I think Lieberman might, I don't know.
I think McCain would throw him off the Straight Talk Express.
And the reporters would cheer.
I mean, I got a report that reporters were cheering at Lamont's, reporters were cheering at Lamont's acceptance speech last night.
It was in Newsday.
Now, Newsday has pulled the story, but it's still on the Philadelphia Inquirer website.
I didn't see it.
So, no, no.
David Naltoon of Pennsylvania, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
It's an honor to talk to you, Rush.
Thank you.
Hey, I was wondering what your thoughts were with Lieberman running as an independent.
If he does, in fact, win, will the Democrats embrace him back so he can vote on their side and switch back to Democrat?
Or also, if Lieberman is leading in the polls prior to the election, will they start throwing him some money to lure him back into the Democratic?
No, If Lieberman's winning in the polls, they're going to throw money at Lamont.
If Lieberman runs as an independent, and if he wins, it's the worst thing that could happen to the Democrats.
That would be the worst thing because they're going to take this election yesterday as a validation that this party wants to go full-bore, far-left, anti-war.
They want that to be the theme of the party.
And these guys are already throwing Lieberman under the bus.
That party in general is going to start moving way, way, way to the left, thinking they've got it in a bag now.
Because they're misreading what this election yesterday is all about.
It's a primary.
It was in August.
Compared to the total number of registered voters in Connecticut, the turnout was a smidgen.
But man, they see a trend.
They see that they've crossed the threshold.
They've reached the vistas.
And if Lieberman screw all of that up, whether they're accepting back, hey, Joe, great to have you back in the Senate.
I'm sure they'd do that personally, but it would cause abject panic out there.
And we wouldn't see it.
But believe me, it would.
All right, audio soundbite, time to wrap up the roster.
Let's go to CNN's Larry King Live last night.
Interviewed James Zogby, the brother of the pollster John Zogby.
James Zogby, founder president of the Arab American Institute, he said this about the people killed in Lebanon.
One-third, almost 300 of those killed in Lebanon have been children under the age of 13.
I saw a funeral march in Tyre today where 13 people were killed because Israel bombed a funeral march.
The fact is, is that why people in Lebanon say they support Hezbollah today is because they oppose the barbarism of this war.
Israel hasn't played by the right rules, and they've taken a terrible consequence here, both in terms of civilian life, but I think also in terms of their own morality.
James, it's too bad, but you are dead wrong.
Al Reuters has run a correction.
They did not bomb a funeral procession.
The Israelis did not bomb a funeral procession.
So Zogby out there on Larry King Alive spinning Hezbollah propaganda, repeating a false report from Al Reuters.
Paula's on now, CNN, last night, interviewing the National Geographic editor Chris Johns.
She said, why do you think the photographer, that freelancer for Al Reuters, did it?
And why didn't his editors catch it, meaning the fraudulent photography?
Well, he's in a competitive news environment.
He wants to excel.
It's hard to get into his mind, as we said previously.
Come on.
Often I think the motive is to simply try to make a spectacular picture.
We can look at it.
We can see the cloning.
We can see what's happened to the photograph.
And it's very obvious to us.
And the pressure at deadlines and feeding a news cycle, those mistakes happen.
Right.
Okay.
So the drive-by media once again predicted this to you people.
I said they'd circle the wagons around this guy, and they're circling the wagons.
This is the same lame excuse the executive vice president of AP gave for these fraudulent photos.
Well, you know, it's such a competitive environment and he wants to excel.
He's got an agenda.
Can we be honest about it?
These guys, what's competitive about this?
When you're in the war zone here over there with the Hezbos, the Hezbos, more and more reporters are starting to open up, by the way, about how the Hezbos threaten to kill them if they videotape and show pictures of the Hezbo rockets being launched.
The Hezbos have a number of reporters' passport numbers, copies of their passports, and they are indeed intimidating.
It was in Tech Central Station the other day, this story.
But these photographers, folks, They're not wandering around aimlessly and freely in these war zones.
They show up just like the press does everywhere.
The White House press corps doesn't wander around the White House.
The White House Press Corps doesn't wander around the Oval Office of the residence.
They're not in a White House tour.
They're in the White House press room, and it's a tiny little cubbyhole place.
And they sit around and they wait to be fed the news by whoever their sources are.
Same thing with the Hezbos.
The photographers are gathered at a site by the Hezbo media relations team, and they are all there waiting for the various rescue workers to come out with their staged corpses, their staged expressions of agony and crying and suffering and all of this.
And they start snapping the pictures and they may have a competitive attempt to get different angles and so forth, but they're being force-fed this stuff.
I say, the main concern here is not the faked photos.
It's the staged events that they're photographing, whether or not they know that that's the case.
Now, Anderson Cooper next on his show, actually was on Paul Azahn last night, and he pretty much admits here that the Hezbos just make stuff up, but it's okay because they have to get their story out.
They're not as experienced as the Israelis.
Paulazahn says, Anderson Cooper, who's in northern Israel tonight, but has been reporting from both sides of the war.
Anderson, you've been dealing with restrictions from Israel's military and the Hezbos.
How do those restrictions affect the accuracy of your reporting?
It's really interesting.
I was in Beirut, and they took me on this sort of guided tour of the Hezbollah-controlled territories in southern Lebanon that were heavily bombed.
They don't have the experience in this kind of thing, but they clearly want the story of civilian casualties out.
That is what they are heavily pushing to the point where on this tour I was on, they were just making stuff up.
They had six ambulances lined up in a row and said, okay, they brought reporters there.
They said you can talk to the ambulance drivers.
And then one by one, they told the ambulances to turn on their sirens and to zoom off.
And people taking that picture, you know, would be reporting, I guess, the idea that these ambulances were zooming off to treat civilian casualties when, in fact, these ambulances were literally going back and forth down the street just for people to take pictures of.
All right.
Now, that's fine.
That's pretty good reporting there.
Pretty good reporting, right?
Why doesn't it affect the way they cover it then?
If he knows this, I know you did, but Rushi just said these, and that's what's happening.
Fine.
I watch CNN.
I'm getting puffed profile pieces of Hezbollah.
I watch CNN and I'm being told all the civilian casualties and I'm seeing all these rescue workers.
If they know this stuff, I think the answer is, well, you know, they don't have the experience of this kind of thing.
And it is not as experienced as the Israelis.
So they're victims.
We have to cut up a little slack back in a second.
You know, one of the things that struck me here, I listened to Anderson Cooper and these other people talk about their relations with the Hezbos.
And well, we have to understand.
Yeah, they're not very experienced.
They clearly are making things up, but they clearly are just firing off the ambulances.
But I think, ladies and gentlemen, I think some of these clowns in the drive-by media think it's cool that terrorists are taking the time to talk to them, even if it means feeding them lies and propaganda.
I think it's cool.
It's really cool.
These terrorists who brutally murder and abuse others are actually willing to talk to them and work with them.
It's kind of sick, you know, but I think they're excited.
Yeah, they talk to us.
They don't kill us.
They talk to us.
Doofuses.
We put a picture on the website last night.
You have to see this.
It's a NASA picture of a solar flare.
erupting in the year 2000.
And they've juxtaposed the approximate size of Earth compared to the not even one-fourth of the sun that's in this picture and this giant flare that has been admitted.
And you just, it's in color, too.
You have to go to the website, rushlimball.com, see this picture.
It might help you explain the sun's factor in global warming.
Now, the size of the Earth here is all, this is not an approximation of how close the Earth is to sun.
It's just to show you how small the Earth is compared to the sun itself and this flare six years ago.
Tom and Tucson, welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, Dittos from the Old Pueblo Rush.
Thank you.
Hey, Rush, if the shoe was on the other foot and this was McCain and not Lieberman, would the press be asking John McCain to bow out and take it?
Oh, no, they'd be encouraging.
That's an excellent point.
If McCain decides to run as an independent, let's say the Republicans reject him in the primaries and he goes independent, he'll be the biggest hero on the face of the earth.
That is an excellent point.
The drive-by media trying to get Lieberman to hang it up, give it up.
Don't screw things up here, Joe.
But with McCain, I got multiple orgasm time out there in the drive-by media.
Nancy in Anchorage, Alaska.
Hello.
Dicky Dittos, Rush.
Thank you.
From the land of the midnight sun.
I'll get right to my point.
BP had a small leak in their pipeline up here.
It started in the winter, and so they didn't catch it for a while because they kind of couldn't find it in the tundra and the snow.
And now they're doing the right thing.
They're shutting the pipeline down.
And it's my thought that since that's the right thing, we should be congratulating them.
We're stopping the next Exxon Valdez and all that sort of thing.
But the Democrats are all over them.
They want to crucify them.
And I was wondering what you think.
It ain't going to happen.
It's big oil, one of the favorite targets of the American left and of the media.
No, it's going to be worse than that.
They're going to check, what, BP?
Is this on purpose?
You're trying to get gas prices up?
Or are you just incompetent?
And they're going to say, this is why we can't have any more oil pipelines.
You can't have any more drilling.
These oil companies don't care.
They'll foul the alignment, and the environment will kill a caribou.
We can't let them do it.
Of course, when the big dig in Boston collapses and kills an innocent woman driving through, no such investigation.
The big dig Democrats, the big dig Democrats who waste all that money and look the other way want to continue to bury big oil.
Have to run, folks, back in just a gift.
Okay, folks, have to hit the happy trail.
As you know, I'm going to be going to the great 50th state.
Roger Hedgecock will be here on Thursday and Friday, Paul W. Smith on Monday.
And let's just hope it doesn't happen.
Let's hope something major doesn't happen while I'm gone.
But I will be back.
