Time Text
Chomping it to bit to be back on the EIB network.
And we are back.
Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB microphone, highly trained broadcast specialists, documented to be almost always right, 98.5% of the time.
Here's a telephone number if you want to join us.
800-282-2882.
If you want to go email TriRush at EIBnet.com from the Real Clear Politics website, SurveyUSA has two new polls out.
This is from last night.
One in the House, one in the Senate that show Republicans Bob Corker in Tennessee and Representative Jeff Davis in Kentucky IV actually picking up support since their previous polls in September in Tennessee in polling taken all post-foley, October 7, 8, and 9.
Bob Corker, now ahead of Representative Harold Ford, this is the Senate race there, 48 to 46.
This is the battle for the seat held by Bill Frist, who is retiring.
That's a five-point turnaround for Corker since Survey USA's last poll in Kentucky's 4th congressional district.
Jeff Davis has seen a seven-point swing since mid-September, now leads 47 to 44.
Again, in polling taken all post-foley, October 7, 8, and 9.
So far, there have been six national generic polls.
The media is reporting generic ballot polls.
They are not reporting on individual races because they can't make their case that Democrats are going to win it in a walk when they do it on an individual basis.
So, I mean, it's not over, and don't misunderstand.
I'm just saying it's not as bad as they are trying to make you think that it is.
Now, the president is going to announce some economic numbers this afternoon.
It's coming up soon.
I have those numbers already in my stack of stuff.
And it's interesting that some of these numbers were announced on Friday, ladies and gentlemen, and they weren't reported on.
The number of jobs created since 2003 is 6.6 million.
Now, the president did mention this figure in his press conference today.
6.6 million jobs.
The federal budget deficit has been cut nearly in half, ladies and gentlemen.
And three years ahead of schedule.
And yet it has not been reported on at all.
And there's one reason for the budget deficit coming down, and it's tax cuts.
There's no other reason.
Capital gains that are pouring in, individual income tax receipts every quarter pour in at record numbers, and it is because of the tax cuts.
The president's on right now explaining this.
So we'll get some bites from it.
I'm not going to jip this because I'm going to tell you myself pretty much what he just announced.
In addition to that, the U.S. population, and by the Dow Jones Industrial Average, has had its fourth record close.
It was up nine at the end of business yesterday.
There's a whole bunch of other interesting factoids out there as well.
There's a story that says African dust, the dust from the Sahara Desert, may be the reason that hurricane activity is much less this season than was predicted.
But look at what happened in the markets as a result of all those predictions.
All of the fuel prices were projected to go.
There are a lot of people who've lost a lot of money in the market speculating on price rises of various commodities based on a devastating hurricane season that did not happen.
That means that's bad for those people that speculated, but that's their business.
They go up and down.
Point is the news is good.
The economic news is good.
There hasn't been any more destruction from hurricanes.
There hasn't been all the doom and gloom that's been predicted has not come about.
The budget deficit cut in half three years ahead of schedule in the Independent today, the UK Independent.
A most fascinating story.
U.S. population hits 300 million, but is it sustainable?
The population of the U.S. will pass 300 million today or tomorrow.
No one knows exactly where.
No one knows precisely when it'll happen at the Mexico border.
It is a milestone for sure, but is this a cause for celebration or anxiety?
Some American commentators are already saying the landmark is a chance to note the U.S. is perhaps the only country in the developed world where the economy is being bolstered by a population that is growing.
But, yeah, I wonder why.
That only makes sense to me.
By the way, that's why all these calls for conservation of things don't work.
If we want to maintain a growing economy, we're going to need to find and produce more resources, not less.
It just can't rely on liberals.
It just can't depend on them.
Every bit of prosperity that exists today will go by the wayside.
Not every bit, but growth will cease to exist because they will end all of the policies that are leading to this, first and foremost, the tax cuts.
Anyway, many experts say that passing the 300 million milestone should be a wake-up call that demands a reappraisal of the extraordinary unparalleled rate of consumption by the world's largest economy and its third largest population, or by population.
As an economic model for the rest of the world to follow, in particular the rapid rise of the economies in China and India, it is unsustainable, they say.
On a global scale, the average U.S. citizen uses far more than his or her fair share of the planet's resources, consuming more than four times the worldwide average of energy, almost three times as much water, and producing more than twice the average amount of rubbish and five times the amount of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to global warming.
The U.S., with 5% of the world's population, uses 23% of its energy.
I have been reading this complaint for 25 years.
Longer than that.
Paul Ehrlich got all this started in the 70s with that asinine book of his called The Population Bomb.
It was all about how our rising population was unsustainable and it's going to destroy us.
We're going to run out of resources.
We're going to deplete the planet's ability to feed people.
And it's just the opposite.
This notion that we are depleting the world and stealing it for our selfish selves ignores what we do for the rest of the world with all that we invent, produce, and create.
The U.S., with 5% of the world's population, uses 23% of its energy, 15% of its beef, 28% of its paper.
Additional population will mean more people seeking a share of those often limited resources.
And so the point of this story is the only way we can survive is to continue to rape the third world.
Rape the third world, the second world, the first world.
Wherever we go, there are worlds and we will rape them.
And we will just take whatever we want.
And we will leave people high and dry because we are selfish, brute capitalists with cold hearts, no sympathy, and no capacity to share, no understanding of fairness.
Meanwhile, just ask yourself what the rest of the world would be like without the United States.
Mentioned this yesterday.
Top al-Qaeda leader has urged fighters to hit the White House.
A man believed to be a top al-Qaeda militant who escaped from a U.S. jail near Kabul in Afghanistan was shown on a new videotape broadcast yesterday, exhorting followers in Afghanistan to fight on until they attack the White House.
Allah will not be pleased until we reach the rooftop of the White House at Abu Yahya Al-Libi.
Shown telling fighters in the tape, aired by the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television.
The channel said the tape was one hour long.
It showed footage of Abu Yahya Al-Libi urging fighters to train hard and even to try to acquire nuclear energy.
Okay.
They're just telling us who they are and what their plans are, what they intend to do.
And finally, this, ladies and gentlemen, must mention this.
Referenced it early.
It's from New York, earlier.
It's New York News Day.
Four young men were arrested for luring a gay man to a remote location with an online promise of a sexual encounter, then attempting to rob him, an incident that left the victim in critical condition after he ran into traffic to escape the attack.
The four, who range in age from 16 to 20, were arrested late Tuesday, according to a police commander who spoke on condition of anonymity because the charges were still pending.
Police had said they were investigating the Sunday attack as a possible bias incident, really?
But it remained unclear whether the four would be charged with a bias crime.
Now, you might be saying, well, why?
This happens all the time, Rush.
You don't talk about this kind of stuff.
Well, here's my reason.
In the Foley situation, the pages, who are even younger than 20, are being portrayed as innocent little angels, clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, just totally vulnerable little kids being set upon by a heartless, cold-hearted,
gay predator.
And I just wanted to illustrate here that not all teenagers are these little angels walking around in virginal state, naïve, big-eyed, just waiting to be taken advantage of as little victims and so forth.
And it's just an example.
I'm not equating the pages with these guys, but we do know that Jordan Edmonds said, his friends said that this is a prank.
They were just teasing Foley.
Possibility does exist that the word on Foley was all over the page class, and they were just having fun teasing and drawing out this gay guy who just fell for it, hook line, and sinker.
But we don't get that side portrayed.
We get this essence of innocence, totally uncorrupted little kids being set upon by these predators.
And it just is a side of the story that is probably not accurate.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
Phone calls.
President Bush's press conference today.
We have some sound bites.
I still want you to hear those.
We'll get to that all coming up after this.
Look, the news just keeps on coming.
Ted in Houston, I'm going to get to you here in just a second, but I got to mention this.
An Associated Press story by John Solomon.
is an AP writer that I have trusted.
John Solomon's stuff is good.
And the Associated Press, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale, even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years.
This according to property deeds.
Culture corruption, anybody?
In the process, Dingy Harry did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.
Dingy Harry's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer, whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations.
He's never been charged with wrongdoing except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.
Land deeds obtained by the Associated Press during a review of Reed's business dealings showed that the deal began in 98 when Dingy Harry bought undeveloped residential property on Las Vegas' booming outskirts for about 400 Gs.
Reed bought one lot outright, a second parcel jointly with Brown.
One of the sellers was a developer benefiting from a government land swap that Dingy Harry had supported.
The seller never even talked to Harry Reid.
In 2001, Dingy Harry sold the land for the same price to a limited liability corporation created by Brown.
The senator didn't disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress that he had any stake in Brown's company.
He continued to report to Congress he personally owned the land even after he sold it.
After getting local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center, Brown's company sold the land in 2004 to other developers.
Dingy Harry took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling his investment of $400,000.
Reed reported it to Congress as a personal land sale.
The complex dealings allowed Dingy Harry to transfer ownership, legal liability, and some tax consequences to Brown's company without public knowledge, but still collect a seven-figure payoff nearly three years later.
Dingy Harry hung up the phone when questioned about the deal during an AP interview last week.
Well, well, I can imagine it has not been easy to gather this information, ladies and gentlemen.
Dingy Harry, this is the AP.
Let's see how far this goes.
Okay, to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
I really appreciate that.
Ted in Houston, thank you, sir.
I'm really glad you held on.
Welcome.
Megadillo's rush.
Thank you.
I just got my Limbaugh letter in the mail today, and I want to tell you, this has got to be the best one you've ever put together.
The October 2006 issue, the Fear America issue.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I've been a subscriber for this is my third year, and this has got to be the best one yet.
What do you like best about it?
The page where you have who said it?
Yeah, page seven.
Who said it?
Guess the speaker of each quote.
Was it Iran's genocidal dictator, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or a Democrat?
Answers below.
Yes.
That was fantastic.
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
You're very kind to call and say that.
You've got some other highlights in here, too, about the top 10 scares on medical, global warming, scary scares.
All this stuff has really kind of opened your eyes, too.
Well, I'm glad that you, I'm glad that this stuff stuck with you because this is when we were putting it together.
It's the it's it's a it's 28 pages, and we put this together.
We call it the Fear America issue.
And what we wanted to do was just put down as succinctly as possible in the magazine, in the newsletter on paper, just who it is that's trying to scare America and who they are and why they're trying to do it and how their fears are bogus.
And you picked up on it, so it means it was a successful issue.
Very successful as far as I'm concerned.
Did you like the interview with Lynn Swan?
Yes, sir.
What I've read of it, I haven't got to all of it because I've been reading the rest of the magazine.
Well, I understand you can't read it all in one day.
It's chocked full of stuff that you've got to digest of.
Well, I get it in the mail and I sit down and read the whole thing front to back.
So, but I've been retired since 2001.
What did you do?
I'm sorry.
What was your work?
What was your line of work?
I worked at Goodyear.
But since I've retired, I've had a lot of time during the day, and I sit and listen to your program all day.
If I'm out in the car, God bless you.
So, you do a terrific job, and I thank you very much.
Thank you for calling.
God bless you.
God bless you, too.
I appreciate your comments.
It is a good issue.
I'm holding it up here for those of you on the webcam to see the ditto cam.
It's me dressed as Uncle Sam with a clinched fist and a stern face, the Fear America issue.
And it really is chocked full of stuff.
This Ahmadinejad thing is just hilarious.
And you put it on paper like this, it just makes.
Let me just give you one example here before we go.
It's called Who Said It?
Guess who said this speaker was the speaker Ahmadinejad or a Democrat?
1% of the total population is in prisons, and 45 people don't have a health care coverage.
Ahmadinejad said it.
Who said under President Bush, 5.2 million more Americans have joined the ranks of the uninsured, 45 million Americans have no health insurance?
Who said it, a Democrat or Ahmadinejad?
Ahmadinejad.
U.S. draw from a withdrawal from Iraq can be done either by replacing those troops with U.N. troops or international troops, or there can be a specific timeframe for the withdrawal.
Who said it?
Ahmadinejad and Democrats.
Thank you.
I know.
We have this story from Dingy Harry.
This is John Solomon, the Associated Press.
Senate Democrat leader Dingy Harry collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale, even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, according to property deeds.
We, in the September issue of the Limbaugh letter in the News Digest segment, summarized a story in the Los Angeles Times that appears to have different players in it.
So I'm not sure if this is a different land deal or the same one, but listen to this.
In 1998, developer Harry Whittemore purchased 67 square miles of Nevada Desert for 15 mil.
He faced the usual major roadblocks developers face.
As the Los Angeles Times reports, there were prohibitive EPA regulations on the land's ancient stream beds, a power line corridor forbidden to private interests, and, of course, federal protection for the endangered desert tortoise.
But over time, those problems have magically disappeared.
Turns out that Harvey Whittemore's good buddy is Senate Minority Leader Dingy Harry.
And through convenient provisions in Senate bills and good old-fashioned string pulling, the 43,000-acre site, Coyote Springs, is on its way to becoming a real estate development of historic proportions, as many as 159,000 homes, 16 golf courses, and a full complement of stores and service facilities.
And it just so happens that Whittemore has given Dingy Harry $45,000 in campaign funds since 2000 and donated to two of Dingy's Harry's sons political campaigns.
Also employs Dingy Harry's son Leif Reed as his lawyer.
The moral of Dingy's fable, slow and steady and a culture of corruption wins the race.
Beats the tortoise every time.
Sounds like a different deal to me than what John Solomon is reporting on in the Associated Press because the guy that Dingy Harry is in league with in the AP story is a guy named Jay Brown.
Now, I haven't read the entire AP story.
I don't know if Harvey Whittemore's name pops up, but we'll dig deep.
We'll dig further to find out if this is the same deal or it sounds different.
Sounds different.
Culture of corruption, anyone?
Dingy Harry.
And Howard Dean's out.
We need a new direction in foreign policy.
Another one, Howard?
Could you just stick with one, pick a direction, and stick with it?
We need a new direction.
All right, to the audio soundbites.
President Bush, a Rose Garden press conference today, Associated Press reporter Terry Hunt with the first question.
Democrats say that North Korea's reported test shows that your policy has been a failure, that you got bogged down on Iraq where there were no weapons of mass destruction.
He's quoting the Democrats here, but he may as well be quoting himself.
While North Korea was moving ahead with the bomb, is your administration to blame for letting North Korea get this far?
North Korea has been trying to acquire bombs and weapons for a long period of time, long before I came into office.
I can remember the time when it was said that the Bush administration goes it alone too often in the world, which I always thought was a bogus claim to begin with.
And now all of a sudden people are saying, you know, the Bush administration ought to be going alone with North Korea, but it didn't work in the past is my point.
The strategy did not work.
Made this point yesterday.
He's a cowboy one day, and that's bad.
The next day, he needs to be a cowboy.
It's bad to go unilateral in Iraq, which we didn't, but we got to do that in North Korea.
Why?
Because that's what Clinton did.
And we played the soundbite yesterday from John Bowton, Bolton talking to Kerry.
Well, why don't you just go talk directly to him, Mr. Ambassador?
It's what the Clinton administration did.
And Bolton said, yes, very poorly.
It didn't work.
What the Clinton administration did didn't work.
New policy being tried.
Next question, Steve Holland of Reuters.
Senator Warner says Iraq appears to be drifting sideways.
James Baker says a change in strategy may be needed.
Are you willing to acknowledge that a change may be needed?
We're constantly changing tactics to achieve a strategic goal.
Our strategic goal is a country which can defend itself, sustain itself, and govern itself.
I understand the stakes.
And I'm going to repeat them one more time.
This is the real challenge of the 21st century.
I like to tell people we're in an ideological struggle.
And it's a struggle between extremists and radicals and people of moderation who want to simply live a peaceful life.
And the calling of this country and in this century is whether or not we will help the forces of moderation prevail.
That's the fundamental question facing the United States of America beyond my presidency.
And you can tell I made my choice.
And I made my choice because the most solemn duty of the American president and government is to protect this country from harm.
It is nailing these guys throughout this whole press conference.
They weren't all that combative today.
I was sort of surprised.
The press was a little subdued.
This is the bite where they start arguing with him about whether or not he's actually said that the Democrat policy is cut or whether the Democrats have said that their policy is cut and run.
Bush has said it.
And a reporter, NPR reporter, says, Democrats would say that you portray it as either they support exactly what you want to do or they want to do nothing.
We hear it in some of your speeches.
Is it fair to portray the American people that Democrats want to cut and run?
I think it's fair to use the words of the people in Congress or their votes.
The vote was on the Hamden legislation, do you want to continue a program that enabled us to interrogate folks or not?
And all I was doing is reciting the votes.
I would cite my opponent in the 2004 campaign when he said there needs to be a date certain from which to withdraw from Iraq.
I characterize that as cut and run because I believe it is cut and run.
In other words, I've been using either their votes or their words to characterize their positions.
And what's wrong with that?
Just nailing them.
Next question.
CBS News Jim Axelrod.
Do you feel in some way that there is some shift going on in terms of the general support for the war in Iraq and your strategy specifically?
And do you ever feel like the walls are closing in on you in terms of support for this?
I understand how hard it is.
I also understand the stakes.
And let me go back to Senator Warner.
Senator Warner said, if the plan isn't working, adjust.
I agree completely.
I think the characterization of, you know, stay the course is about a quarter right.
Stay the course means keep doing what you're doing.
My attitude is don't do what you're doing if it's not working.
Change.
Say the course also means don't leave before the job is done.
And that's, we're going to get the job done in Iraq.
And it's important that we do get the job done in Iraq.
Defeat in Iraq will embolden an enemy.
And I want to repeat to you the reality of the world in which we live.
If we were to leave before the job is done, the enemy's coming after us.
And most Americans understand we've got to defeat them there so we don't face them here.
It's a different kind of war.
But nevertheless, it is a war.
Does he sound fired up to you?
Does he sound passionate to you?
Does he sound intent to you?
I have an interesting quote to share with you here in just a second after I play a couple more of these bites.
Next question, Chicago Tribune reporter Mark Silva.
Mr. President, with growing numbers of House members and staffers saying that they know of and told others about a problem with Mark Foley some years ago, has House Speaker Hastert lost touch with his own ranks?
And has a scandal damaged Hastert's credibility and effectiveness in maintaining party control in a midterm elections?
All of us want to find out the facts.
I mean, this is disgusting behavior when a member of Congress betrays the trust of the Congress and a family that sent a young page up to serve in the Congress.
And I appreciated Speaker Hastert's strong declaration of his desire to get to the bottom of it.
We want to make sure we understand what Republicans knew and what Democrats knew in order to find the facts.
And I hope that happens sooner rather than later.
And the president also said this about Nancy Pelosi and tax cuts.
I mean, when they get in that booth, they're going to be thinking about how best to secure the country from attack and how best to keep the economy growing.
I think the last time I was out here with you, I reminded you that I understand that the economy is always a salient issue in campaigns.
We've had some experience with that in my family, I think I said.
I still believe the economy is an important issue, and I believe on this issue there is a huge difference of opinion.
The other day, I did bring up the words of the leader of the house when she said, I love tax cuts.
And then I reminded everybody that if she loved them so much, how come she voted against a lot of tax cuts?
Right, I do remember her saying that.
Well, what business does a Democrat have saying she loves tax cuts, especially in election season, and double especially when she just announced her first 100-hour agenda, and the top two or three items are all the tax cuts that she's going to repeal.
And finally, he predicts in the answer to the question from Brett Baer of Fox News, the Republicans will hold the House in the Senate.
I believe that the situation in Iraq is, no question, tough on the American psyche.
Like I said, I think at this very spot last time I faced the press corps.
And it's serious business.
Look, the American people want to know, can we win?
That's what they want to know.
And do we have a plan to win?
There are some who say get out.
It's not worth it.
And those are some of the voices, by the way, in the Democrat Party.
I still stand by my prediction.
We have a Republican Speaker and a Republican leader of the Senate.
Gas prices are down.
Tax cuts are working.
And there's a difference of opinion in the campaign about taxes.
And Democrats will raise taxes.
Now, I know they say only on rich people, but that's, in my judgment, having been around here long enough to know it's just code word.
You know, they're going to raise them on whoever they can raise them on.
I watched this and I thought, here's somebody who's totally at ease and is not worried about, you know, not hamstrung in this press conference by trying to sound whatever he thinks presidential is.
When he said, in fact, go back to number 18.
I think, have I told you all, do you remember when I've told you about the time I had lunch with him 1994 in Texas at Arlington Stadium when he owned the Rangers, and he was talking to some people about his future run against Ma Richards for governor of Texas?
Let's see.
I think this is a run number 18 again.
The question is, do you feel like the walls are closing in on you on Iraq?
I understand how hard it is.
I also understand the stakes.
And let me go back to Senator Warner.
Senator Warner said, if the plan isn't working, adjust.
I agree completely.
I think the characterization of, you know, it's stay the course.
Take it back.
It's not this one.
Go get 16.
It's not 16 is the one I can make my point with.
This is the question from Reuters about Senator Warner and James Baker.
Are you willing to acknowledge that a change of course in Iraq may be necessary?
We're constantly changing tactics to achieve a strategic goal.
Our strategic goal is a country which can defend itself, sustain itself, and govern itself.
I understand the stakes.
And I'm going to repeat them one more time.
Stop the tape right there.
I'll never forget he's talking about Ma Richards, and he's telling these guys what's wrong with her administration, and I'm going to beat her.
And I'm going to beat her.
And right here, only he didn't say, I'm all kick.
He was very, very expressive, very, very earthy.
And just like he sounded here, and I'm going to repeat them one more time.
It's the real challenge of the 20.
I'm going to repeat them.
I mean, this was who he is.
This was not trying to remember an answer to a question that they had rehearsed.
This is who he is.
And have you noticed everybody in these press conferences for a long time been trying to talk him out of his Iraq policy?
They've been trying to talk him out of his policy here and policy there, trying to get him to admit mistakes.
A person today sent me a quote by somebody named E.E. Cummings.
And this quote is amazing.
Listen to this.
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
Meaning the toughest thing in the world to do is to be who you are, stand up for what you believe and not cave to everybody trying to change you or to make you be what they want you to be or anything of the sort.
And it made me think of Bush when this quote was sent me.
Quick time out.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Well, a plane airplane has crashed into a high-rise on the upper east side of Manhattan.
Four apartment buildings, apparently, or four apartments are engulfed in flames.
Don't know what kind of an airplane and don't have the exact address.
It was a Cessna.
MSNBC is reporting this.
CNN saying East 71st Street, Upper East Side.
What's 71st and what?
Do they know?
Are they given a cross street on there?
All right.
So East 71st Street, Cessna crashed into a high-rise apartment building, four apartments engulfed in flames.
Stop it, H.
The staff getting insolent here toward the end of the program.
H.R. says E.E. Cummings was a poet.
And I said, well, I'm not surprised.
I don't know that.
I'm not a big fan of poetry.
And besides, he said, well, you got to go to college to have learned of E.E. Cummings anyway.
I said, well, I went to college for one year, but didn't do too well.
I blame my high school teachers for not teaching me about E.E. Cummings.
Regardless, it's interesting quote, to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle with any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
And I'm also told that E.E. Cummings always wrote in lowercase, never capitalized anything and was thought to be a genius.
Finally, I don't know, finally, but this is, folks, this is the Republicans are fighting back here.
A group of House Republicans called today for a congressional investigation into the improper handling of classified documents by Sandy Burglar.
Burglar admitted last year he deliberately took classified documents out of the National Archives in 03 and destroyed some of them at his office, pled guilty federal court, one charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material, fine 50 large.
I was always more curious about what he put back in there than what he took out.
Ten lawmakers led by House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter and Judiciary Chairman James Sensenbrenner released a letter calling for the House Government Reform Committee to investigate Sandy Burglar.
Looking at pictures now from the upper east side of Manhattan on 71st Street, lots of smoke.
Say it's a Cessna that crashed into an apartment building and there's a helicopter flying around, but not many more details from what we already have.
You know, we have a lot of sound bites left, and I'm just going to have to say, cookie, save the sound bites that we didn't use for tomorrow, particularly McCain in Michigan ripping into Senator Clinton and her husband, Bill.
McCain then on the CBS morning show today, and actor Hannah Storms.
Why blame the Clinton administration?
Why are you doing that?
Why are you doing that?
And McCain comes right back at him.
So I don't know if McCain has figured it out or not, but he rips the Clintons, and the media can't believe that he would do it.
