Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything.
Anyone else out there happens to be saying, because the views expressed by the host on this program are rooted in a daily relentless, unstoppable pursuit of the truth.
We find it, we proclaim it.
You need courage to face the truth.
Otherwise you will go nuts.
Listening to this program, I am Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, America's truth detector, and the doctor of democracy, all combined into one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882 and the email address rush at EIB net.com.
Yes, the daughter of Kurt Weldon had her home raided by the FBI looking for evidence of chicanery and lobbying deals.
With her father, Kurt Weldon, something like a million dollars is what's being reported.
My question is why aren't the feds investigating Dingy Harry and his four sons, all of whom are lobbyists or county commissioners, and his son-in-law, who is also a lobbyist, and all their land deals and lobbying deals.
How is it that Dingy Harry escapes a federal investigation?
And out of the blue in an election season, we hear about Kurt Weldon's daughter and her home being raided.
By the way, Dingy Harry has put out a uh a statement.
The headline of the statement read goes beyond ethics requirements, disarms GOP smear campaign.
Senate Democratic leader Dingy Harry today issued the following statement.
Last month, Republicans, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah boasted they would engage in a campaign of personal attacks and smears and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Last week, a highly misleading report by the Associated Press implied I made a profit selling land I no longer own.
The article was wrong.
Here are the facts.
I bought the land in 88, I sold it in 04.
I listed my ownership of the land on official Senate disclosure forms every single day.
Year.
Now I've taken an additional step.
Today I directed my staff to file amended financial disclosure forms, noting that in 2001 I transferred title to the land to a limited liability corporation.
As the amended forms make clear, this routine legal move in no way altered my actual ownership of the land.
The ethics committee has not yet advised me whether I should file these amended forms, but even if I am not required to do so, I am happy to go beyond what is needed.
To provide the fullest disclosure, the amended forms make clear what was true all along.
I owned the land to the LLC when I sold it in 2004.
Nonetheless, I am rebirth reimbursing the campaign from my own pocket to prevent this issue from being used in the current campaign season to deflect attention from Republican failures.
That's the statement from Dingy Harry going beyond ethics requirements to disarm GOP smear campaign.
Well, Dingy Harry, I am part of the GOP smear campaign, and I do not feel disarmed.
And Dingy Harry, we may as well teasingly admit what they think is the case.
I know Sandy Burglar had to admend the record.
The Democrats are always amending the record because those rascally Republicans are in the midst of a smear campaign.
All right.
Nevertheless, um, I am not disarmed, Dingy Harry, and I wonder why the feds are not looking into his activities.
There was something else I wanted to...
Oh!
Oh, yes, a President Reagan quote.
Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you in the targeted Christian right, the uh the evangelicals, those of you who um are being uh uh manipulated, and you ought not fall for it.
You're the first graduates of Media Bias 101 course here at the Limbaugh Institute.
You ought not be buying what they're trying to get you to do, stay home and not vote.
I want to give you, in an attempt to buck up your support and your confidence level, I want to give you a quote from President Reagan, who once said, I don't believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do.
I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.
Keep that in mind.
When you sit around, you don't do anything.
That's when fate falls on you.
Not necessarily no matter what you do, other than sitting around and doing nothing.
All right, to the lifestyle section, ladies and gentlemen.
This sort of has some connectivity to what we're discussing today anyway.
There's a story by a guy named Robert Jensen, and I don't know, maybe it's a column.
Robert Jensen's a professor of journalism at the University of Texas.
His most recent book was Writing Descent, Taking Radical Ideas from the Margins to the Mainstream.
It was published in 2001.
And his piece appears in the San Francisco Chronicle it ran a week ago.
October the 8th.
And let me just give you the pull quote from this story.
Snerdily want you to listen to this.
I don't think the planet can long survive if the current conception of masculinity endures.
We face political and ecological challenges that cannot be met with this old model of what it means to be a man.
At the more intimate level, the stakes are just as high.
For those of us who are biologically male, we have a simple choice.
We men can settle for being men, or we can strive to be human beings.
Men are not human men, men are men are beasts.
Men are predators, men masculine brutes.
It's hard to be a man, he opens.
Hard to live up to the demands that come with the dominant conception of masculinity of the tough guy.
So guys, I have an idea.
Maybe it's time we stop trying.
Maybe this masculinity thing is a bad deal, not just for women, but for us.
We need to get rid of the whole idea of masculinity.
It's time to abandon the claim that there are certain psychological or social traits that inherently come with being biologically male.
Note biologically male.
If I told you who he is, he's a he's a journalism professor at the University of Texas.
Uh if we if we can get past this, get past this need to be masculine, we have a chance to create a better world for men and women.
The dominant conception of masculinity in U.S. culture is easily summarized.
Men are assumed to be naturally competitive and aggressive, and being a real man is therefore marked by the struggle for control, conquest, and domination.
A man looks at the world, sees what he wants, and takes it.
Men who don't measure upper wimps, sissies, or girls.
The worst insult one man can hurl at another, whether it's boys on the playground or CEOs in the boardroom, is the accusation that a man is like a woman.
Although the culture acknowledges that men can in some situations have traits traditionally associated with women, such as caring, compassion, and tenderness.
Although the culture acknowledges that men can, in some situations, have traits traditionally associated with women, caring, compassion, tenderness.
In the end, it is men's strength expressed as toughness that defines us and must trump any male or female like softness.
Those aspects of masculinity must prevail for a man to be a real man.
This guy's right about one thing.
You know, I was playing golf on Saturday, and a guy I was playing with just hit a just a horrible shot.
You wouldn't believe what we guys say to each other on the golf course.
I mean, I'll give if if if if some guy duffs the tea shot, doesn't get past the lady's tea, you gotta unzip.
Yep, you do.
And that's true.
Well, nobody ever does it, but that's and then after a shot like some guy hits a rotten shot, uh, the classic thing to say is, does your husband play golf too?
And that's an old Frank Sinatra line.
Uh this is human nature.
Uh I don't know.
I'm assuming that Robert Jensen, since he's being published here in the San Francisco Chronicle, may be a woman.
Uh I don't really know.
Anyway, let me continue with this.
That's not to suggest, Of course, that every man adopts that view of masculinity, but it is endorsed in key institutions and activities, most notably in business, the military, and athletics.
And it's reinforced through the mass media.
It's particularly expressed in the way men, straight and gay alike, talk about sexuality and act sexually.
And our culture's male heroes reflect those characteristics.
They most often are men who take charge rather than seek consensus, seize power rather than look for ways to share it, and are willing to be violent to achieve their goal.
Oh man, this guy has got to be a woman.
Either that or it has to have been written by a woman.
Or a male lesbian.
Maybe the guy's a male lesbian.
We've heard of that phenomenon on this program.
They're male lesbians.
It's a San Francisco treat.
What else?
That view of masculinity that I just shared with you, dangerous for women.
Men who take charge rather than seek consensus.
Sei power rather than look for ways to share it.
Right.
Ben Rothlisberg is leading the and the Steelers leading the Chiefs.
31 to nothing at halftime, and at halftime the Steelers' quarterback goes into Chiefs' locker room.
We don't like beating you guys this bad.
Will you like 15 points coming out to start the second half?
That view of masculinity is dangerous for women.
It leads men to seek control to their women and to find their own pleasure in that control, which leads to epidemic levels of rape and battery.
Here we are.
But this view of masculinity is toxic for men as well.
The masculinity is defined as conquest.
It means that men will always struggle with each other for dominance.
In a system premised on hierarchy and power, there can be only one king of the hill.
Every other man must in some way be subordinated to the king, and the king has to always be nervous about who's coming up the hill to get him.
A friend who once worked on Wall Street, one of the most preeminent sites of masculine competition, described coming to work as like walking into a knife fight when all the good spots along the wall were taken.
Masculinity like this is life lived as an endless competition and threat.
Of course, if we are going to I'm I'm amazed I keep a straight face during this.
Of course, if we are going to jettison masculinity, we have to scrap femininity along with it.
See, this gets even better.
Stick with me on this, folks.
We have to stop trying to define what men and women are going to be in the world based on extrapolations from physical sex differences.
Now that doesn't mean we ignore those differences when they matter, but we have to stop assuming they matter everywhere.
I don't think the planet can long survive if the current conception of masculinity endures.
We face political and ecological challenges that can't be met with this old model of what it means to be a man.
At the more intimate level, the stakes are just as high.
For those of us who are biologically male, we have a simple choice.
We men can settle for being men, or we can strive to be human beings.
Again, Robert.
R Robert Jensen, professor of journalism, University of Texas, most recent book five years ago, Writing Descent, Taking Radical Ideas from the Margins to the mainstream.
He's teach teaching journalism.
See, that's why I said there's a connection to what we've been talking about.
This is the chicken of culture to feminization of culture.
This guy's that's why I say he's he's a male lesbian.
Or a woman writing this.
But anyway, I I I look at I'm gonna be both a man and a human being.
I I think it's possible to be both.
He doesn't.
Uh, but I do, and will continue to uh to practice it.
Uh now but maybe I could show this guy I have a heart.
Maybe I could call Air America and offer them, say, five million people in this audience.
Rather than seizing power, share it.
Uh and rather than dominating, engage in concern.
That's how ridiculous this is.
In more ways than one.
Be right back, my friends.
Ladies and gentlemen, I owe you an apology.
An apology for forgetting a crucial fact.
If I may, let me return to the statement put out by the Office of Dingy Harry today regarding his ethics problem.
Headline, Reed Goes Beyond Ethics Requirements.
Disarms GOP smear campaign.
Let's see.
Last month Republicans openly boasted that they would engage in a campaign of personal attacks and smears to hold on to power in Washington.
In recent days, we witnessed their latest attempt to do just that.
Republicans may believe in cover-ups, I believe, and ensuring all facts come to light.
Last week a highly misleading report to the AP implied that I made a profit selling land I no longer owed.
And he chalks this up to the Republican smear machine.
What I'm apologizing for, what I had forgotten is that the AP's source for Dingy Harry's shady dealings was a former Harry Reed staffer.
It was not Republicans.
The AP story did not quote Republicans.
The only problem with Dingy Harry's statement here is that it too is chocked full of lies.
Thank you.
And I ask your forgiveness in forgetting a salient fact in this story.
We do have the phones now.
Fort Wayne at the end of this is Tony.
Glad you called, sir.
Welcome.
It's great to have you on the program.
Thanks, Rush.
Hey, regarding to that masculinity article, if this guy's premise is supposed to be that we are too masculine, that's ridiculous.
We are so much more Ellen Alda in this culture than we ever are, John Wayne.
We don't have to move towards a feminized masculinity.
We're already there.
No, that's what I think some of us are.
Well, some of you are.
I am not.
But the feminization of the culture has been going on for a long time.
It's directly tied to the feminist movement.
It has worked extremely well with liberal guys who buy into all this metro sexuality stuff.
But even that, you know, is a marketing term for retailers didn't work out.
Men are who they are.
The basic problem with feminism was there were two basic problems.
Aside from the overall problem with it was insane, the two basic problems were that it told women that in order to be fulfilled, they had to be more like men.
In the process, men didn't know who they had to be in order to relate to this new kind of woman.
I mean, when you're told it's an insult to compliment her appearance, when you're told it's an insult to open a door for her.
And let's face it, we know where every man wants to end up with a woman.
And in order to do there, you get there, you gotta be what the woman wants.
And if you don't know what you're supposed to be, if you've been told that what you are is wrong, who you are inherently is wrong, then you have to modify who you are in your behavior and everything else to meet whatever it is this new woman thinks is appropriate in men.
It just messed everybody up.
Well, sure.
It's because it's unnatural.
I mean, I don't have to I don't have to try to be male no more than I have to try to be masculine.
That's what I naturally am, and likewise with my wife.
She didn't have to try to be female.
You're very feminine.
You're very fortunate out there because I know a lot of men who couldn't pull off masculine if their lives depended on it.
Well, here.
Do you remember this?
When we're on one of the interviews when you were with Tim Ruther, shortly after that, probably within that week, you received a call from a woman, and what she said to you was how great it was to see the bottom of your shoe.
Do you remember that?
The whole point was the fact that the way you crossed your legs was different than what she sees most men now in our society do.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I know.
The inside the beltway way that men cross their legs.
It's just like women.
Right.
Yeah.
You're not supposed to do that.
Uh supposedly looks bad on TV.
Well, hell, I can't do it.
Because I'm too big in certain areas to be able to pull that off.
What?
Snurly, snurdly.
Look at the thoughts that you have.
Uh he was cautioning me.
I might have violated the standards of the family show with that last comment.
I like to be comfortable too.
I am not going to sit there on TV just bec it's silly.
It's just all of this is just uh is just silly.
Plus, you know, Adley Stevenson got a lot of mileage out of wearing shoes with holes in the bottom because he was able to relate to average ordinary Americans who, of course, can't afford new shoes in America because the economy is so bad.
At any rate, you've got it right.
What all this does is upset natural behavior.
And it it it took feminism and all this this feminization of the culture takes the takes these uh these natural roles and tries to change them.
Human nature is uh counted out.
Human nature is is insult as it's wrong.
It's led to these horrible problems everybody tries to change and they end up being not who they are.
We'll be back in a sec.
That's all we do.
We make the complex understandable.
Stand by up there on audio soundbite 16 uh 17 and 18.
The former president Bill Clinton was in Las Vegas uh recently and said that the nation has been jammed into an ideological corner by conservative Republicans is primed for a power shift in the November elections.
He said this on Thursdays.
And this is an election unlike any other I have ever participated in, Clinton told Democratic supporters at a fundraiser in Vegas.
For six years, this country has been totally dominated, not by the Republican Party, is not fair to the Republican Party, by a narrow sliver of the Republican Party.
It's more right wing and it's more ideological element.
If only that were true.
This guy is loony tunes on this.
Wait till you hear some of the other quotes in this story, but that is absolutely nuts.
For six years, a narrow sliver of the Republican Party, the more right wing and its most ideological element has been dominating the party.
As I say, if only that were true.
Jammed into an ideological corner by conservative Republicans, totally oblivious to the fact that the Democrats are ideologic liberals as well.
When the chips are down, this country's been jammed to the right, jammed into an ideological corner, alienated from its allies, and we're in a lot of trouble.
Carter was out there campaigning for Jimmy Carter's son Jack.
The Democratic Party's become the liberal and conservative party in America, he said.
Well, the only thing I know Clinton knows how to jam people into corners.
But it doesn't mean just because he knows how to do it that he can recognize it when somebody else is doing it.
And we're jam, I wish we were jamming people into corners.
In a figurative sense, obviously, unopposed, as opposed to Clinton sense.
But this next one's a doozy, and then the one after that's even better.
The Democrat Party's become the liberal and conservative party in America.
If you want to be fiscally conservative, you've got to be for us.
If you want to conserve natural resources, you've got to be for us.
If you want to change a course in Iraq, you've got to be for us.
The liberal and conservative part.
Clinton then attacked tax cuts, describing a repeal of the estate tax as the GOP's top legislative priority.
They may think I should be able to give Chelsea every nickel, but I don't.
Again, with how rich they are.
The Clintons bragging about their wealth.
They ought to be able to give Chelsea everything.
I'm sure Chelsea thinks she's received enough.
But then there's this.
This one, folks, I haven't the slightest clue what in the world he's talking about.
He noted that Mexico had become one of the United States' top ten creditors.
These people in Mexico are our bankers, Clinton said.
Doesn't it embarrass you that these poor people are trying to sneak over the Rio Gran River to find a living in this country, and we want to stop that?
But we're only too happy to turn around and say, don't spend your own money on those poor illegal immigrants to give them an education and get a job in Mexico.
Loan that money to us.
Now, to the extent that you can make this coherent and follow it, Clinton is trying to say that we are responsible for illegal immigrants because we borrow money from Mexico because we are so rotten and poor, we borrow money from them, and we ought to be saying don't lend us the money, keep that money and spend it on your own people so they don't have to try to get the United States.
Now, how many Mexican bailouts have we engaged in in this country, one of them during his presidency?
We're borrowing money from Mexico.
Here is Sherry in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Sherry, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the program.
Yes, Rush.
I have a question.
My question is what do the people that want to write the cut and run policy?
What plans do they have for our children that are in Iraq or that they're going back to Iraq?
My son was there in 03.
He was there in 05, and he's going back for 12 months in January of 07.
Now what is their plan for our children?
Are they just going to be sacrificial lambs left over there?
Well, that's a great question.
That's uh along with all this discussion of uh Republicans saying, yeah, the Republicans ought to lose, they've got it coming to them.
And yeah, we uh that essentially turns over Iraq policy to Democrats who want to cut and run.
What in the world does that say about the 3,000 brave souls that have lost their lives over there and the hundred and some odd thousand plus who are over there fighting for victory now.
I know it is it is I think it's actually th this talk is selfish and short sighted.
But the bottom line is this, Sherry.
Anytime you hear I don't care especially Republicans.
When you hear Republicans talking about how Republicans deserve to lose or that they've got it coming, you're asking the right question.
Does your son have it coming?
Do we have it coming?
Do the American people deserve to lose?
We're not in the vacuum here.
Just because Republic if if Republicans lose the Congress, it doesn't just affect those Republicans who lose elections.
It will affect all of us.
And I haven't heard any of these Republicans who are out there predicting and hoping for our loss or our defeat in the House of Representatives of the Senate.
I haven't heard them singing the praises of the Democrats who had replaced them.
So I don't understand it.
This vindictiveness, this I'll show you.
Uh I I just I don't think that's the way to advance things and uh just to quit cut and run.
It's I just don't understand this definition of winning uh by losing.
Brian in Columbus, Ohio.
Thank you, sir.
You're next.
Hello, Rush.
Hi.
Christian conservative homeschooling dittoes from Columbus, Ohio.
Thank you.
So I assume you're gonna sit out the election, you're not gonna vote, you're depressed and you're mad.
Well, Rush, this is a hilarious story.
I'm calling about the uh front page news of yesterday's New York Times.
Yeah.
That the Democrats have the intensity.
The larger picture on the top shows Ted Strickland.
The smaller picture down below is uh picture of Dave, my son Josh just to the left of him, and that's me to the left of Josh.
Really?
You are pictured on the front page of yesterday's New York Times.
Yes, I am, all right.
And that's the truth, and I know you like to expose the truth.
Yes, I do.
Happens naturally.
Well, what I think a better caption under the picture would be homeschoolers volunteer for first time to work phones for the GOP in Ohio.
That's what you were doing?
That's what we were doing.
And what are the stories?
What are the stories what did the story say you were doing?
It just says it says David Guthrie Wright, worked a phone uh bank at the Republican headquarters, and then it associates us with a machine, a cold-hearted calculating machine.
And yet this is first time, you know, I volunteered, so I feel labeled.
Well, you should, but you know what when you when you hear the drive-by media talk about the Republican machine and Republican efficiency, uh they're also uh referring to the Republicans' ability to steal elections, to cheat.
It's code word for cheat and steal rather than get the the turnout and get the vote out and so forth.
I mean, it's it's um that's why I say there's all kinds of signs to read out there.
These people are not Nearly as confident uh as as uh the Democrats and Liberals as they would have you believe.
But the when you hear when you hear the word machine, I know what you you're you're you you're you're interpreting this that they don't think you have any heart and that you don't have any passion, and you weren't there because of what you believe.
You had just been recruited.
You're almost part of a robotic mechanism that's designed to get out the vote.
Because these people can't possibly envision Republicans who think and have ideas, especially the Christian right.
Uh and so you no doubt befuddled them.
Here's Jim in Fort Worth, Texas.
Hello, sir, you're next.
Good afternoon, major drought mitigating dittoes from Fort Worth.
Thank you, sir.
And uh if Reed is targeted by the media, as he was at the one o'clock hour here in Texas.
Um I'm wondering if you see them receiving a little credibility and uh seeing that as an opportunity since he's not running this year, and it uh would kind of dissolve into the ether by the time he is running.
Oh, um Yeah, but that's I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.
You say Reed was targeted by the media at one o'clock and in uh DFW.
They yeah, they actually uh talked about his filing today and the fact that he had requested uh guidance from the ethics committee, and then very humbly, I'm sure, went ahead and submitted it without that guidance.
Oh, yeah.
Well, well, we we we read the press release here.
He's uh he he said that he's going even beyond what's required uh to defeat the Republican uh smear machine.
That's not the point of this.
The point of this is that the drive-by media is not looking into this while we're investigating Kurt Weldon and his daughter, and while we're turning over every rock to find every email and instant message that Mark Foley ever wrote.
Uh and while we're trying to uncover anybody who had anything to do with Jack Abramov, and by the way, Dingy Harry had a lot of contact with Abramov.
We're not doing anything about Dinji Harry.
Folks, there's a reason for this.
Um it's uh I'm just gonna explain to you how this happens.
You can have two people side by side guilty of the same thing, one Republican, one Democrat.
The drive-by media will ignore the actions taken by the Democrat, but will go to the end of the earth to prove and establish the guilt of the Republican.
It's always been this way, and as far as the drive-by media is concerned, it always will be.
Why is this?
It is largely, I think, due to how the drive-by media liberals look at themselves and look at Republicans.
They look at Republicans as suspects.
To liberals, Republicans are guilty, period.
They're guilty for being Republicans, they're guilty for being conservatives.
And so when you catch them in a lobbying scandal, it's no surprise, it's quite natural.
And of course, the attitude that they have is oriented around what they think the Republican motives are greed, selfishness.
Screw the little guy, get ahead as fast as I can, wreck the country and so forth.
A Democrat nailed and caught doing the same thing is not viewed through the same prism.
A Democrat is viewed as big-hearted, compassionate, trying to help the little guy, uh uh, and maybe got involved in this deal to actually help other people.
Uh and is uh we need to give this person a second chance.
It's just, you know, everybody slips and falls now and then, but they don't look at themselves as having any negative motivations, any deceitful intent.
But Republicans, by virtue of breathing, are guilty of all of these things.
That's why Dingy Harry is being ignored, and there are other reasons, too.
They know it could possibly damage Democrat chances and undercut Democrat campaign ideas during this election season.
But I mean, just in general, it has to do that Democrats are angels.
Their intentions are so good.
Well, I mean, look at the latest.
Look at look at the red iPod nano.
They're selling red iPods.
What happened is that uh Bono got them to do this.
And ten dollars of every uh iPod nano red one sold go to AIDS research.
Now, I don't know what this is going to do to to stop AIDS.
But I I think we're gonna change the color of uh Club Gitmo from jailhouse orange to red.
I mean, this these are the kinds of symbolic things Democrats do that make themselves feel so much better at people than everyone else.
So much heart, so much more compassion.
Why, Apple will sell a red nano, and the gap will sell red jackets, and other companies will no doubt get on board.
So we're just recycling the whole red ribbon concept.
The difference here is that these retailers are actually making some money on the deal, giving some money from the sales to uh AIDS research.
Uh and it's that kind of stuff.
They don't accomplish anything.
Oh, but their intention.
Republicans never do anything meaningful like this.
You'd never see Republicans coming up with an idea to make a nano red to help AIDS.
You wouldn't see that.
So Republicans are automatically guilty.
They are just human debris.
Democrats, angels, good people care.
Compassion.
And very feminine, by the way, too.
Dow Jones Industrial Average, uh just uh just under 20 points away from 12,000.
In our rotten, sucky economy.
Fox News is reporting that air samples from North Korea confirm that there was radiation.
It was a nuke.
Also, ladies and gentlemen, this from um the uh Daily Cause, one of these kook left wing blog sites, actually also from uh Buckeye State blog.
This is a Democrat posting yesterday.
I am sad to report to this community the reality of the ground situation in a northwestern Bellwether County, Wood County, Ohio.
Despite our enthusiasm for recent polls and excitement in general, it appears the Republican early voting effort is far superior to ours.
Absentee ballots have been going out for one week, and the Republican early voting turnout machine has proven superior to our best efforts.
To date, nearly 3,500 absentee ballots have been mailed out, 40% of which have been mailed to Republicans, 40% to undeclared, and only 20% to Democrats.
Republicans have mailed multiple absentee registrations to all of their registered voters and have followed up with multiple robocalls and human calls to ensure that their voters have turned in their early voting applications.
Additionally, there is evidence that they have reached beyond their Republican base and have targeted independence in a number of important swing precincts in Wood County.
This is happening all over the country, by the way, folks.
See, this is the Libs get caught in it.
Believe this poll business.
It's only today that we're getting these stories.
Oh no, what about the Republican machine?
Democrats have the intensity, but Republicans have the machine.
The get out the vote uh effort.
And of course, the last two lines in this post for the liberal blogs, I'm a little worried.
Okay, a lot worried.
Wood County has gone twice for Clinton, twice for Bush.
Bush won Wood County three points over Kerry.
It's a suburban to rural county south of Toledo is an indicator of how well candidates will perform in very close races.
Obviously, Sherrod Brown's in a very tight race.
So uh panic setting in.
Despite the Foley scandal, despite all these other things that are supposedly despite all of the depressed and suppressed Republican turnout.
Panic is setting in on the Democrat side.
You can sense it and you can feel it.
Brief time out, ladies and gentlemen.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Kurt Weldon said that the same group that does behind the release of the Foley emails crew is behind the uh uh reporting on his situation with his daughter crew to this date still hasn't cared a whit about dingy Harry Reed and his problems.
Finally, USA Today.
Uh there's a study out there.
Uh and it it is a there's a new surge in a number of older women who are driving.
And the uh the problem with that is that this study sees longer rides to work and more commuting by older women.
I don't know why that's bad.
Uh If they're talking about it might be dangerous for other drivers, or it's just women hardest hit by getting older and still having to ride to work.
It's more chickification and news, except some guy wrote the story.
See you tomorrow, folks.
