Time Text
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
Back we are.
L. Rushbow and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
The Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Broadcast Excellence, all yours for a third hour in a row.
I, of course, some America's real anchor man, truth detector, doctor of democracy, general all-round good guy, well-known radio racantur all combined, and one harmless lovable little fuzzball, all at the same time.
800-282-288.
Shaking their head in there.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, uh, still a little frustrated here, trying to track hurricane.
Well, it's not a hurricane.
It's uh it's Tropical Storm Ernesto, uh, as a friend of mine said last night, perhaps an illegal tropical storm, at least undocumented.
Uh and it looks to me, I I can't get the satellite loops to reload consistently because I guess there's a lot of traffic at the uh at NOAA's uh website, their server farm.
Sometimes they load, sometimes they don't.
Uh satellite loops will not load, they radar loops will not load.
All I can get still shots.
They update every five or six minutes.
To my untrained unmeteorological eye, it appears, and there's no defined center of this storm.
There's just a giant thunderstorm right now.
The pressure's rising.
Pressure's 1,000 eight millibars.
It was 1,007 three hours, two hours ago.
No definite center to the storm.
Whatever it is, it looks like it's tracking a little further west than the forecast track, but there's supposedly some upper level high moving out of the way.
It's going to make it easier for it to curve to the northeast at some point.
Uh as they'll all do if a high gets out of the way.
Just to matter when that happens.
The whole the whole peninsula, Florida is going to be impacted by this thing somehow.
Uh mainly a rain event, but some people are going to get 40 mile an hour winds gusting uh a little bit higher.
It was literally torn apart.
It's falling apart last night over Cuba.
You know, I think one of the reasons for this, by the way, is Castro's either dead uh or incapacitated, couldn't get out of bed and go out there and shout at the damn thing to leave Cuba alone like he did last time.
Last time he went out there, shouted at a hurricane over on the on the east coast of uh Cuba, said get out of here, hurricane, and it uh well it's what the Associated Press reported, and hurricane missed Cuba.
This one didn't, it spent a lot of time over Cuba, and it really wrecked it.
I just uh just tore it apart.
So it's having to reorganize, and it probably won't have enough time to reorganize the cane between now and the time it hits uh the Florida mainland.
That it's just a little frustrating here not to be able to get out there and get these loops.
Satellite radar loops and so forth's a great way of tracking where the uh thing is going.
John Kerry, Senator John Kerry did not contest the results at the time.
But now that he's considering another run for the White House, he's alleging election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004.
That would be Ken Blackwell, who just happens to be seeking the Senate in Ohio.
Uh which makes this doubly understandable.
An email will be sent to 100,000 Democratic donors today, probably has already been flashed out there, asking them to support Representative Ted Strickland for governor.
Uh the bulk of the email critic Blackwell's running for governor, not Senate.
I'm confusing him with Michael Steele in Maryland.
Blackwell's running for governor of Ohio.
The bulk of the email accuses uh Strickland's opponent, Ken Blackwell, for his dual role in 2004 as Bush's honorary Ohio campaign chairman and the state's top election official who used the power of his state orifice to try to intimidate Ohioans and suppress the Democratic vote, said uh Kerry's email.
Uh Blackwell, who is black, says the election was run fairly, citing a million more votes cast than in 2000, and record turnout among uh black voters.
Blackwell campaign spokesman Carlo LaParro said, people are saying for money.
Fortunately, the historical record contradicts Senator Kerry.
Poor Senator Kerry.
You know, have you ever known people just can't let something go?
That's actually the whole Democratic Party right now.
They just can't let 2000 go.
Just can't let it go.
And I know why.
I mean, I understand them psychologically.
They think they're incapable of losing elections in a fair fight.
Fair fight when they can rig it.
You know, they they're the ones.
Every attempt at voter reform to identify registered voters, guess who's against it?
The Democratic Party.
Uh photo IDs to vote.
Democrat Party against that's discrimination aimed at the blacks and the poor.
They don't have the money to go out there and get photo IDs.
Oh, we'll get it for them for free.
We'll even go to their house.
You're not getting in their house.
We know what that is.
That's just an attempt to break their Fourth Amendment rights to get in there and find them evidence of a crime.
We know what that it's just absurd.
But they just can't let it go.
But Senator Carey, it's over.
It's over.
You lost.
It's time to move on.
They want to keep refighting these old battles where they think they got the shaft and uh where they get screwed.
And as I've said constantly, uh their idea of people they just can't lose.
You know, power is a birthright.
Uh and so when they lose elections, it's always the fault of hanging Chads.
It's always the fault of uh voting machines.
You know, in a way, the Democrat problem can be explained by some of the what I think is folly in the way that we are conducting uh war on terror in this country.
Let's take a look at this British plot some weeks ago.
Twenty-one people said to have found ways to get liquids aboard planes and carry on baggage, and then the passengers, the 21 guys, the Muslims are going to blow them up up there.
Ten planes blown up midair over the Atlantic Ocean, traveling to the United States.
So immediately, what did the Brits do, and what did we do?
Well, we started banning liquids from airplanes.
Mother's milk, milk baby milk formula, shaving cream, shaving gel, you know the list, whatever it all was.
And of course, does that not miss the point?
Our enemy is not babies formula.
Our enemy is not Edge Shaving Joe.
Or Gillette, take your pick.
Shick.
Don't want to leave anybody out.
Colgate.
Our enemy is not bottled water.
Enemy are the people who do this.
And we have excellent records of who they are.
But don't do that.
That's profiling.
That is not the American way.
We're not going to look the evidence straight in the eye.
We're not going to see what the evidence says without a shadow of a doubt and draw the obvious conclusion.
Because that would make us feel guilty.
And that would hurt feelings.
And that would cause us even greater problems than the rest of the world because people would think we are biased.
So we focus on baby formula as the enemy now.
We fork uh focus on you pick it, whatever these liquids were that they banned from the airplanes.
And you saw what it did in terms of uh check-in at early arrival.
Uh airlines said, we can't keep doing this.
You are causing us to lose money.
This is absurd.
This is the this this is this is this is ridiculous.
Now, at first, blush on the day of the event, yeah, makes sense.
Because you never know if they rounded up all the guys.
You never know if they rounded up everybody in the ring.
So it makes sense to take all that stuff that was going to be used as the target off.
But after that, to focus on those things as the problem is missing the problem on purpose.
There's really it's not hard to identify what to do here, but we're never gonna do it.
We're just not gonna because it's racial profiling.
The liberals can't stand that.
And I can allow that to happen.
And then we're not gonna offend people.
Well, let them blow us up before we offend them.
Well, the Democrats are sort of in the same Circumstance.
They're losing elections, but they are not blaming and focusing on the real reasons themselves.
Because in their minds, these are the most cocky, arrogant, condescending human beings walking today.
It can't possibly be them.
It's not possibly American people would reject us.
They have to be voting for us.
It's just that our votes aren't being counted.
Or they're tricking us with ballots in counties in Florida that we run.
Democrats ran Palm Beach County, still do.
They created a butterfly ballot, send samples out to all the voters.
Somehow that's a Republican scandal.
That people were tending to vote for Gore voted for Buchanan.
I always said that meant Buchanan could get the Jewish vote.
You get the Democrat vote.
Should have been on the Democrat ticket.
You never know what would have happened.
Anyway, the whole thing is just absurd when you when you look at it.
So now here's Carrie reliving, reliving, punishing himself in the depths of depression, no doubt.
I can imagine John Kerry at a dinner party in his house.
Got the guests in there.
And it's probably just a constant whine and moan and rant.
I said this, and I did this, they misrepresented it.
I should have won it.
Just imagine how it goes.
They just need to let it go.
But they won't.
Back in just a second.
Okay, back we are.
El Rushbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Talent on lawn from God.
I had this story in the stack yesterday.
There's a lot of stories in the stack I didn't get to yesterday, so I'm reviving this story from yesterday.
Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Cohen, who uh writes for the New York Times, had a story yesterday, new reason to be resentful of President Bush.
He has robbed America of its optimism.
Ha!
Bush is out there giving speeches on optimism, ladies and gentlemen, in New Orleans.
He is always the one talking optimism.
Listen to the story.
President Clinton was often mocked for his declarations that he still believed in a place called hope.
But he understood that instilling hope is a critical part of leadership, other than a few special interest programs.
It's hard to think of areas in which the Bush administration has raised the nation's hopes and met them.
This president has instead tried to focus the American people on the fear of terrorism, for which there is no cure, only bad choices or something worse.
Well, if you go back to President Bush's second inaugural address, he says this.
We have seen our vulnerability, and we have seen it steepest source.
For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny, prone to ideologies that feed hatred, excuse murder, violence will gather and multiply in destructive power and cross the most defended borders and raise a mortal threat.
There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment and expose the pretensions of tyrants and reward the hopes of the decent and the tolerant, and that's the force of human freedom.
We are led by events and common sense to one conclusion.
The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands.
The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
As I say, the president is continually upbeaten, optimistic.
There's a reason, by the way, uh ladies and gentlemen, that Americans fear terrorism more now than they did during the Clinton years.
And as James Taranto wrote at the uh opinionjournal.com, it isn't because of anything President Bush has done.
Uh how about uh how about all the lack of action on serious problems engaged by the Clinton administration?
The Clinton administration purposely avoided anything hard, anything difficult, in order to protect its approval numbers and legacy.
Uh this is to say that Bush has robbed us of our optimism is just a bunch of liberals admitting That they're unhappy, defeated, and miserable, which they are most of the time anyway.
Listen to them.
Listen to what Bob, they note have a sense of humor.
They can't laugh about anything, especially their own constructs.
They they are just humorless people, and they are enraged and angry, and some of them so much so.
They are descending into the early stages of madness.
Now want to go back to the um uh right before the uh the last commercial break, uh accepting reality.
Don't blame others.
Uh you know, the the little riff I did on our enemy is not baby milk formula.
Uh enemy is not uh shaving cream.
The Democrats' enemy is not voting machines, and it's not this and that and the other thing, it's themselves.
New York Times big story, Obama, the savior of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama in Kenya, strode into a packed auditorium in Nairobi yesterday and attacked an issue that notoriously bedebles Kenyan society corruption.
He urged people to reject the insulting idea that corruption is somehow part of Kenyan culture to stand up to speak out against injustices.
During his speech on Monday, Obama laid out tough prescriptions for Africa's ills, calling for government cutbacks, more openness, less ethnic politics.
Barack, bring it home, buddy.
Bring this speech home with you.
Make that speech in New Orleans, Barack.
Most of all, he told Kenyans to stop complaining about the injustices of the colonial past and to accept responsibility.
He said it's more than just history and outside influence that explains why Kenya is lagging behind.
Barack, bring it home.
Bring it home to New Orleans, Barack.
Isn't it amazing what these people can go out, these liberal Democrats can say in foreign countries?
Government cutbacks, more openness, less ethnic politics.
Barack Obama, who is African American, would never dare say this in America.
My God, it's got everything.
He's got corruption, New Orleans has it all.
It's got corruption, it has way too much government, needs cutbacks, more openness, less ethnic politics, stop complaining about the injustices of the past, and accept responsibility.
In other words, Barack is saying what I just said.
There's a time to let it go.
Juan Williams is saying it in his new book, You Heard Imam of Walter Williams on Friday.
It's time to let it go.
Black politics is stuck 40 years ago in a paradigm that no longer exists.
Back to the phones.
Tex Arcana, Texas, Alan, I'm glad you're patient.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Rush, thank you for your time.
I appreciate it.
You bet.
Um I don't I'm not saying this certainly, and I think your your earlier monologues about the lie perpetuated on the American people by this whole thing is perfect.
I think it would be premature to just assume that what Armitage did was just an accident.
He's he's not stupid.
He's former special ops, and I don't believe in accidents and politics.
I think everything in politics is calculated.
And I would not be a bit surprised to find out that Armitage did this intentionally.
He knew he was headed out of the State Department.
He knew his days were numbered.
He worked with Wilson in the State Department.
I really wouldn't be surprised to think that he did this on purpose, considering the fact he is a Bush critic.
He is a Rumsfeld critic.
He never supported the war in Iraq or going in to remove Hussein.
And certainly in his time in government, he knew the damage that this leak could cause and the attacks it would bring on by the media and the Democrats and the damage it would do that it has done to the Bush administration when you outlined.
That's a little hard for me to believe.
The one thing that makes it somewhat believable is that long after the Bruhaha started, he could have shut it down by going public and he didn't.
Right.
But he would have to know that by telling Bob Novak, uh, and your point you may have a point too because they're trying to characterize the guy as a harmless, lovable little bear, a big bear.
He just loves gossip.
Would never do anything to harm anybody.
It doesn't appear that this was intended to harm anybody, especially Valerie Plame or Valerie Wilson, uh, and it's, you know, you he would have to know that her status was covert.
Well, it wasn't covert.
He'd have to, he'd have to be able to predict that exactly what happened with the media and with everybody else is what would happen in order to get this started.
He also told Bob Woodward this.
So I can understand why you would think it, and you're very, very shrewd uh to think that uh uh much of politics is not coincidental.
But uh either way, the the the bottom line is you know what do you want to say Armitage is innocent from the get-go or not?
The bottom line is everybody in the world knew that this had uh who the leaker was, and there was nothing illegal about it, and the investigated investigation should have been brought to a screeching halt back in just a second.
Back after this.
And we are back.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have Rush Limbaugh living legend showing how it is to be done.
Uh telephone number 800-282-2882.
All right.
This is funny.
Saddam Hussein is being forced to watch his appearance in South Park while he is behind bars.
Uh the South Park guys uh uh did a movie spinoff, and they featured Saddam in there as a guy who loves the devil.
South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut featured Saddam Hussein and Satan attempting to take over the world together.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were at the Edinburgh International TV Festival, and they said that U.S. Marines guarding Saddam during his trial for genocide were making him watch the movie repeatedly.
Now you know what?
I'm just going to predict you, once this gets wide play, once once some of these crisis stories like uh Tropical Stormer Nesto and uh the pervert out there in Las Vegas, once these things um run their course today, there will who?
What?
Yeah, now that I've met it, yeah, now that now that I've given it a little uh ink, so to speak, you're you're going to have the Abu Grab Club Gitmo crowd rise up in righteous anger and call this torture, forcing Saddam to watch something he doesn't want to watch.
Particularly a South Park movie featuring him as a partner in crime with Satan.
Huh.
You just I just know when if liberals listen to this program and you know who you are, and you know you were out there, as do I, and I could just see your face when I said this.
I could just see your face.
There was a little shock.
You probably dulk a little bit, frowned, got just the first vestiges of anger and disbelief over this kind of cruel, cruel treatment of at least a man who once was the leader of his people.
Being forced to watch a movie in which he is a partner in crime with the devil.
Um you heard about the uh IRS, they learned that these gift bags, things like the Emmys could total as much as 70 grand.
IRS said, hey, wait a minute.
That is income.
And we are going to be watching people, and we are going to be auditing, and we're going to figure out if people are reporting this income.
Well, USA Today had a story uh post, I guess it was uh yesterday about about all of this.
Neither the IRS nor an episode from last season Sopranos could deter some stars from collecting major swag at pre-Emy gifting suites over the weekend.
Uh uh the uh one of the one of the stars of uh of uh uh uh the Sopranos, Joe Gennis Scoli, who played the gay mobster veto, said, I feel like it's our duties as Americans to get away with what we can.
My kind of guy.
It's our duty as Americans to get away with what we can.
Participating vendors don't seem to mind celebrities loading up on the freebies.
They hope the stars will provide publicity when they appear with their wares.
But uh some of these people acknowledge the vendors' worst fears that the swag often ends up in the hands of the not so famous, the friends, the staff, uh families of the celebrities.
Uh here is a sample.
Well, I want to go through the whole thing of of what was uh what was collected.
Uh but uh jewelry from 2,000 to $5,000 a piece of Mac laptops valued at $1,500 a piece.
And a number of these uh celebrities, well, here we here was Jamie Lynn Sigler of uh The Sopranos says, I I wouldn't blame us.
It goes way beyond that.
It's kind of weird to tax people on what's being called a gift bag.
And this plus uh plus veto's comment here, I feel like it's our duty as Americans to get away with what we can.
Uh I don't know what veto's political uh persuasions are here, but it sounds like liberal who feels like he's imprisoned because there's a Republican administration, I got to get it while I can, because I never know when they're gonna be in jail next.
But it it illustrated to me the utter ignorance, and these are high income people.
You know, one of the things that amazes me.
We're talking $5,000 jewelry piece.
Folks, that is walking around money to these people.
One of the things that irritates me, I can't tell you.
I don't have too many things.
Arrogance bothers me.
Arrogant condescension, uh cockiness when there's nothing to warrant it, that irritates me.
But something else that irritates me is people who earn a lot of money, who expect everything to be given to them, who refuse to spend their own money on things, including CEOs who will take a multi-billion dollar, multi-million dollar retirement package and still ask the company to fly them around on the jet.
Get your own jet.
Charter your own jet, pal, or to have an apartment provided for them in the city or baseball.
They just paid you 10 or 20 million bucks.
Get your own stuff.
Don't walk around with your hand out.
And here come these people, high income people.
Well, we deserve this stuff.
Why we're American royalty.
Why I I want that $70,000 worth of giveaways.
Get it yourself.
You can afford it for crying out loud.
And then when it's given to you, to start crying milk over the fact that it's income and you might have to pay taxes on it.
Either way, I mean, the ignorance of these people in the tax code is stunning to me, and it helps me to understand why they haven't the slightest clue about tax cuts.
It explains to me why when tax cuts are proposed, these people, high-income people go nuts opposing them.
Guilt or whatever is the reason.
But if you're going to give somebody seven, do you know what the rules for giving away money are?
If you're single, you can give anybody you want $12,000 one time per year.
If you're married, you and your spouse can give away $24,000 to a single person, tax-free.
Nobody pays any tax on it.
Now, you have an exemption up to something like, I forget the exact number, like a million dollars.
You spend all your money giving it away up to a million dollars, then after that, you've got to start paying gift tax on it.
And the gift tax ain't cheap.
Gift tax depending uh can run in the 50 to 60% bracket.
So either way, there are tax consequences of this.
If somebody is taking $70,000 worth of stuff, that is considered income.
Now, if the stars want to look at it as a gift, okay, then it's the responsibility of the person giving it away to pay the tax on it, because the maximum you can give anybody is $12,000.
Now that weighs around this.
I mean, you can uh if if you want to set up like a retirement plan uh for your kids, I forget what it's called.
No, it's really not.
You can only put that's what you can give away max single and and and married per year.
It used to be 10, now it's up to 12.
It always goes up a thousand or so every year or two uh to uh to match inflation, but that's it.
And you can do it one time per person per year.
But beyond that, there are there are uh there are taxes on it.
Here are these people demanding to be exempt from it on two counts, demanding to be exempt from the taxes on the income or gift, and then demanding not to have to pay taxes on it, and to still demand that it still be given to them because they're Americans, and as Americans, they're supposed to get out there and get what they can.
It really is uh uh quite a divide out there, ladies and gentlemen, uh in, you know, you talk about the divide between the the rich and the poor.
Uh that's not the real problem, that gap, uh, because that's always been, and it uh It always will be.
The problem is dumb rich people.
The problem is stupid, arrogant rich people.
They're the ones that give everybody a bad name.
Bunch of greedy SOBs out there acting.
Everything should be given to him.
It's all theirs just because of what they do for a living.
All right.
Here's the next drive-by media disaster.
I want to get you up to speed on this.
I kid you not, ladies and gentlemen.
Imagine a black hole swallowing Earth, ending life in an instant.
It's not only the stuff of pulp sci-fi novels, that as scientists say, a looming possibility.
Oh no, black holes.
I thought they were way the hell out there.
But one could come along, folks, and just gobble us up like that.
What happened so fast we wouldn't even know it.
Neil de Grasse Tyson, director of New York's Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History.
You've been there?
I've been there.
It'd be a bad day for the solar system if we got visited by a black hole.
Really?
Really?
In our vast galaxy, there are billions upon billions of stars, each of which is at a different point in its life cycle.
Citing the law of averages, some scientists believe at least one star dies every day.
And in death, stars occasionally give birth to black holes when a massive celestial body's core collapses, creates an immense gravitational pool, not unlike an invisible cosmic vacuum cleaner.
As it moves, it sucks in all the matter in its way, and not even light can escape.
You shoot a nuclear weapon right into a black hole, the effect would be smaller than a pin prick compared to the enormous gravitational pull of a black hole itself, said a professor of theoretical physics at City University of New York.
A black hole lies in the heart of every large galaxy.
A monstrous one sits in the center of our own Milky Way.
Astronomers say probably more than 10 million black holes inhabit the cosmos.
So I want to see how long it takes for this story to generate cable news stories on the black hole and the possibility of a black hole swallowing Earth.
Crisis news on parade never ends.
Alright, back to the phones quickly.
Richmond, Virginia, this is Bob.
Nice to have you on the program, sir.
Welcome.
Hey, Rush Dettos.
Um I wanted to make the point.
You were you're talking earlier about uh how the uh media kind of makes a complete fool out of themselves.
And uh I think a good example, uh, you go back a couple months to the Duke Lacrosse story, and it kind of ties in with the story today with this uh John Mark Carr.
Apparently, you know, when John Mark Carr's DNA doesn't match, is you know, he's immediately you know innocent, no problem.
And uh the Duke Lacrosse, if you remember that prosecutor.
I think he had another agenda going, but if you remember their their DNA didn't exonerate them.
No, that's true, nor did the DNA of Carl Rove, Dick Cheney's scooter libby, exonerate them.
Uh despite no DNA match whatsoever, Patrick Fitzgerald continued the investigation even after he knew Richard Armitage was the leaker.
Armitage's DNA is what matched, but they ignored that.
What is the big deal about this DNA business?
If there's no if there's not a DNA match in North Carolina, and the investing goes on investigation goes on, why are they giving up on this pervert?
Uh, John Mark Carr.
You hit the nail on the head.
There's an agenda in the where's the trial, by the way.
Where is the trial of the Duke Lacrosse players?
There is no trial yet, and a trial's not going to be till next spring if it happens at all.
This is outrageous, really.
There's no DNA.
A lot of these players have alibis.
Nifong did what he did for the express purpose of winning his uh primary election and then becoming re-elected a DA, and then everybody that's looked at this is where's the evidence, Mike?
He hasn't presented any any solid evidence, and you have to.
And you have to let the other side know what you've got.
You got to let the defense know there hasn't been any release that whatever has been released doesn't show much at all.
And then to set the trial back to next spring, that's what everybody says, whoa, whoa, what?
You're gonna Have this cloud hanging over these young guys' heads for a year.
Uh it it uh it really is outrageous.
I'll tell you, folks.
Uh you look at Tom DeLay and and Ronnie Earle and and uh the knife on case, uh, this thing with Scooter Libby and Richard Armitage.
You look at the incompetence of the Boulder people.
One email four years ago seems to be what really drove the John Mark Car store, plus his confession, it was a hoax.
A guy wanted to get out of Thailand, come back, got a nice meal and a bottle of champagne on board some airline flying in business class.
I'll tell you the criminal justice, this judge in eastern Michigan on the uh NSA foreign surveillance case.
Uh the the criminal justice system just appears to be polluted with politics, and justice doesn't seem to have much of anything to do with it.
No matter no matter where you look.
Dorian in New York City, glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Uh Megadiddos from New York City.
Thank you.
Um just wanted to comment more on uh the agenda of the drive-by media.
It's amazing that a month ago we were told that gas prices would increase because of the Alaskan pipeline break and in Iran, but in actuality they've decreased uh significantly over the last couple of weeks, and we've heard nothing about that.
No, of course, and you won't because it doesn't fit the action line.
But the minute they start going up, you know what'll happen?
They'll start railing and whining and blasting the increase in gasoline prices without reporting the decrease that you just mentioned.
That's correct.
It's happened already a couple of times and uh a couple of intervals uh uh in this in this whole sorted affair.
Yep.
No question.
You've got it.
Uh I don't know.
It it's it's the the drive-by media, what's called the mainstream media is just scandalous, folks.
It it literally is just it's scandalous what's going on.
It's it's not just bias.
I want to say a quick timeout, we'll come back, grab another phone call or two if we have time after this.
All right, we've been being corrected.
I'm told in the South Park movie that Saddam and uh and the devil were lovers, not partners in crime.
So my uh my report uh AP had it wrong.
I haven't seen the movie, so it's not my fault.
Well, it is my fault, but I don't have time to explain why.
Janie San Diego, welcome to the program.
Hi, hey, this is great, Rash.
My question is why in the world aren't the environmentalists yelling to let uh uh uh New Orleans go back to nature.
Uh well, uh one of the reasons is that mostly liberals live there.
See, liberals are liberals are liberals first.
And in this case, the animating aspect of liberalism is Bush hatred and Bush criticism, and thus, New Orleans to them represents an opportunity to advance that.
See, everybody thinks that all these different liberal groups have their agenda items and their issues are number one of paramount importance.
Uh and it's easy to think that.
