Time Text
Hi, greetings.
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
L. Rushbow, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
At 1-800-282-2882, the email address is Rush at EIBNet.com.
I, your highly trained broadcast specialist, your bulwark of conservatism showing how it's done each and every day.
Special welcome to those of you watching the program today on the Ditto Cam at Rushlimbo.com.
The telephone number here, 800 again 282-2882.
The email address is Rush at EIBNet.com.
This morning in uh Mexico, a joint news conference with the President of Mexico, Senior Coldaron, an unidentified reporter asked the president.
The Attorney General acknowledged yesterday that there were mistakes in the firing of prosecutors.
What's his future in your cabinet?
Do you have confidence in him?
And more importantly, how effective can he be in Congress going forward when he's lost a lot of confidence among Democrats and doesn't have many defenders among Republicans?
I do have confidence in Attorney General Al Gonzalez.
And uh we talked about his need to go up to Capitol Hill and make it very clear to members in both political parties why the Justice Department made the decisions it made.
Make it very clear about the facts, and uh he's right, mistakes were made.
And I'm frankly not happy about them because uh there is a lot of confusion over what really has been a customary practice by the presidents.
U.S. attorneys and others serve at the pleasure of the president.
Past administrations have removed U.S. attorneys.
It's their right to do so.
The uh Justice Department recommended a list of U.S. attorneys.
I believe the reasons why were were entirely appropriate.
And yet this issue was mishandled to the point now where you're asking me questions about it in Mexico.
Well, President sounds mad, but he sounds mad at his own people.
He sounds as mad at his own people as the Democrats are at his own people.
So mistakes were made.
Frankly, I'm not happy about them.
Anytime anybody goes up to Capitol Hill, I gotta make sure they fully understand the facts and how they characterize the issue to members of Congress.
And the fact that both Republicans and Democrats feel like that there was not straightforward communication troubles me.
It troubles the Attorney General, so he took action.
needs to continue to take action.
Gosh, this is hard.
and Um if that's his view about this, then there's really no need for um me or any other talk show host to support his people.
If he's not going to support his people.
I mean.
I mean, is this not something against Gonzalez when he says you're gonna go up to Capitol Hill?
You got to make sure you fully understand the facts and how they characterize the issue to members of Congress.
Who's he upset about here?
Oh, he's done he's he's dumping on the the the chief of staff, Gonzalez's chief of staff.
That's who it is, he thinks he's never gone.
Um, this guy, the uh the he's saying that the chief of staff to Gonzalez didn't go up and give Congress all the facts about it.
Uh, okay.
Yeah, President's on both sides of this.
He's trying to give both sides a little here what they uh what they want.
Um he did defend his actions.
He did say, hey, it's no big deal.
This happens all the time.
They uh serve at the pleasure of the president.
Past administrations have removed U.S. attorneys that's their right to do so, so forth and so on.
But uh anyway, at least it at least uh came up and he discussed it at uh press conference with the Mexican President Colderon, who I think uh said it yesterday or today.
Time runs, days run together.
Mexican President Coldadon said he too is upset about the fence that uh that we are uh That we're gonna build.
Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard about these new um uh abortion e-cards?
Uh a nonprofit organization has unveiled a series of electronic greeting cards that concerned friends and relatives can send to a woman after she chooses to have an abortion.
Uh what would there be to be concerned about?
She's choosing to have an abortion.
This, as has been portrayed to us countless times over the years is a life-saving procedure.
Uh fetus is an unviable tissue mass that can lead to health problems for the mother.
If she chooses to save her own life by aborting her own child, what's the need for a sympathy card?
Uh like Exhale's confidential talk line for women who have had abortions, the six e-cards available on the group's website were designed to be nonpartisan.
And encompass the range of someone's potential responses to going through an abortion.
Women having abortions are calling our line because often they don't have someone to talk to.
It's a stigmatized issue, said Aspen Baker, founder and executive director of XHAL, uh, which is based in Oakland.
That's the name of this group, Xhale.
You sort of like, and you've had an abortion?
And then you need a sympathy card for is that it?
One card expresses sympathy, offering the gentle reminder that, quote, as you grieve, remember that you are loved.
Another provides encouragement for someone who did the right thing, quote unquote.
Another e-card strikes a religious tone with the thought that God will never leave you or forsake you.
Uh K, although greeting card offerings have been expanded in recent years to include such milestones as divorce, potty training, and half-birth.
Are you kidding me?
You can go out and send somebody a card after they've successfully been potty trained.
Uh you how long is it to Dawn?
You're the only one here with Snarly, you would know.
How long does it take to potty train a baby?
At what age?
Does it differ from men and women?
Boys and one year's for boys and girls both?
Is it some boys take a little longer because yeah, men are men.
Um you're gonna send you're gonna send a greeting card to a one-year, I guess you send it to the parents to congratulate them on uh potty training completion and then half birthdays.
Now, uh who does this Baker babe, Aspen Baker, founder and executive director of XHAL, said that she was unaware of anybody else providing after abortion sympathy cards online.
How convoluted is this?
If you're gonna send a sympathy card to anybody after an abortion, shouldn't it be the aborted fetus?
Is the mother the victim of the abortion or is it the aborted fetus?
And if you're gonna send uh uh sympathy card, in fact, in fact, I wouldn't even call them sympathy.
You know, if you if you really let me tell you, Aspen, I know you're gonna hear about this if you're not listening.
I've got a better idea for you.
You can keep all this stuff you're doing, because obviously be a market for it because all this guilt out there has to be a sway as you send these people a guilt card and uh e-card or whatever, but expand here the uh the notion that this this clearly, this whole effort belies the whole notion that abortion is some liberating thing, that it is some great thing you can do to become even more of a woman in control of your own death.
Obviously there's a lot of pain attached to this.
It needs e-cards, needs sympathy cards, but expand the universe of e-cards to send them to the victims.
The feti.
The fetuses.
How about this?
Don't worry about me.
I'm going for stem cell research.
Have a card actually from the fetus sent to the mother.
Oh the would-be mother.
Don't worry about me.
I'm fine.
God loves me just like God loves you.
I'm going for stem cell research.
Uh uh Or you could you could uh if if this would help, how about an e-card option that the would-be mother could send to the aborted fetus?
Goodbye and good luck.
A little play off the Edward R. Murrell close.
It's not that I didn't love you.
Goodbye and good luck.
The cards are offered in English and Spanish.
They're part of a broader effort by uh uh Aspen Baker, who founded XAL in January of 2002 to bring the agency's work into a broader arena.
In two weeks, the agency plans to publish a magazine featuring stories, poems, letters, and rituals by and for women who have had abortions.
Yes, we designed them to deal with different people's response to abortion.
Not everyone thinks it's the best thing, said Aspen Baker.
We hope the people who send them take the time to think not only about the message they want to send, but about what is best for the person receiving it and what they need to hear.
Aspen, I'm telling you, you can't do this if you don't include options for the aborted fetus.
I mean, sympathy is usually aimed at victims, is it not?
So there you have it.
The name of the group is Exhale.
I don't I'm sure they've got a website out there, although I don't don't know uh don't know what it is.
I like that.
Don't worry about me.
I am going for stem cell research.
Before we get back to the phones here on the Rush Limbaugh program, uh we've been working on some poems.
Uh the exhale group in Oakland with the abortion e-cards claims they're working on uh on poems.
Uh articles, uh they're gonna actually publish an abortion magazine, and uh it's gonna feature articles, poems, letters, and rituals, rituals, rituals contributed by women who've participated in the sacrament.
Uh abortion is the sacrament to liberalism, it's a sacrament to their religion.
Uh normally people go for communion.
Uh uh liberals go to abortion clinic.
At any rate.
A couple of poems here.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
See you later.
I aborted you.
This could be a card from the uh uh uh the the would-be mother to the aborted fetus.
Uh another poem would be Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm still alive.
Too bad about you.
Uh we're just trying to help out here.
They want to broaden the base of they say they're nonpartisan here, so we're giving them some ideas.
Um and how about how about some cards for the other participants in this blessed event, such as the aborted.
Uh one of those uh could be a wish you were here card.
The uh have a card sent from the aborted fetus who's off now to stem cell research.
Sorry uh you're not here, wish you were here with me.
Uh you have goodbye and good luck theme cards from the uh mother to the would-be mother of the aborted uh fetus.
Uh and try this.
This is one.
If you're gonna if you if you people at Exhale are gonna really market yourselves, you gotta get the brand out there.
So you gotta you gotta put the name of your company of your organization in one of these cards.
Uh and this this would be a card from the aborted fetus off for stem cell research to the uh would-be mother, which would say something like, uh, I would exhale too, but I can't.
To the phones we go, uh St. Joe, Michigan.
This is Jim.
Jim, welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Thanks, Rush, for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Uh Rush, I've been listening to you since 1988.
And I love you.
But you're driving me nuts.
Oh, no.
I'm pulling my hands.
How is whatever's happened today about me?
Rush, because listen, after the last election.
You were really upset.
You got on your program and you proclaimed to all of your millions of listeners that you were through carrying the water for the Republicans.
And here you are doing it again.
You've been doing it all week.
I'm not carrying the water for Republicans today.
I'm telling them what they ought to Be carrying the water for Republicans would be defending them no matter what they do, good or bad.
I'm not def I am criticizing the Republicans today and trying to give them a roadmap for how to deal with this.
Rush, you're doing what the Republicans should be doing, but they can't because they're spineless jellyfish.
What you should be doing.
Remember the lady that called a few days ago and accused you of not doing enough?
Yes.
I knew what she meant when I heard her say that.
I knew exactly what she meant.
What?
Here's what she meant, Rush.
What was it?
You are the voice of conservatism.
You can say what we can't say.
And I do.
And if if if I had a voice right now and I could speak to Congress for some strange reason, I wouldn't want to talk to the Democrats.
I want to talk to Republicans.
And I want to tell them they better get it in the back.
Do you think I've been doing it?
Wait a second, wait a second.
What do you think I've been doing today?
Look, I don't mind being assaulted and attacked and taken down here when it's worth it, but this isn't worth it.
I've not been carrying anybody's water today.
I have been trying to give them a roadmap for how they've got a golden opportunity here to go after the Democrats by demonstrating it.
Rush.
The Republicans don't have a clue.
They don't know how to fight.
I all week long, I've watched Republicans.
All right, then we're going to go to the city.
You've made this about what am I supposed to do then in your mind when I see what I see today with this issue.
And with this story about the fired U.S. Am I just supposed to shut up?
No, you should shame the Republicans for not doing what you're doing.
The Republicans should be doing exactly they should be getting in front of every microphone, every TV program, and doing what you're doing, and they're not because you're doing it for them.
Think that that's what I was doing.
By being critical of them by telling them that look at if you're afraid of tying yourselves to Bush, you don't have to do that.
There's a way to go after this, and I and I and I demonstrated it for them.
Look at if I were carrying water for them, I'd be telling you you're wrong.
Republicans are handling this just right, and you don't understand politics.
That would be carrying the water.
I'm not I'm I'm responding to this as I respond to virtually everything.
When there's an outrage out there about what the Democrats are doing, I call attention to it.
But look, let me tell you what this indicates.
Uh while this caller wants to make it about me, uh and most people want to make it about me.
All roads lead to Rush.
Uh all roads lead to EIB.
What is really uh noteworthy about this is the anger at Republicans that's out there on the part of Republicans.
And uh, you know, people ask me, who's your previous preferred Republican presidential candidate?
I don't uh my guess is that there isn't a candidate who is yet behaving in such a way to make some of these people out there who are very angry think they are fighters.
And that's what people want.
Uh and it hasn't shown up, and they're not getting it, and they haven't gotten it for a while.
In fact, you know, you can trace a lot of this back.
I I still maintain this as you can trace a lot of this back to the 1995 budget deal.
When all the you remember all the attacks on Republicans wanted to starve kids in the school, and the Republicans just stood there and didn't say anything.
From that day forward, after just, you know, one or two years uh of the Republicans controlling Congress.
I mean, that that has still gone unrequited.
And it is built uh from that point.
I appreciate the call, Jim.
We must move on to Colville, Utah.
This is Rick, you're next, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Rush.
Uh, you've got to remember to include a line of cards.
Uh congratulations card for the sperm donors who are now financially off the hook.
Wait a minute.
First thing, these are these are not my cards.
I realize this.
Um they're my ideas for the company called XAL or the organization called Excel.
But you you what uh the interesting point.
What what how many how many women who go to the sperm bank uh to uh be artificially inseminated then abort?
Yeah.
I don't think it's too many.
What about the what I'm talking about is the men in their lives that the the help cause this pregnancy who are no longer financially obligated to raise that dollar.
Oh, oh, you wouldn't mean sperm bank, you meant sperm don't oh, okay.
By donor, I thought you meant somebody not attached to the woman, just You know, a nameless fatal faceless test tube.
You're talking actually about the guy who participated in creating the uh fetus.
Yeah, he's now off the hook, so he's congratulating.
Yes, okay, now I understand it, and now it makes sense, and I'm to that would be big.
That would be big.
Uh and the card can come from both the the fetus and the mother, or the would-be mother.
I'm off for stem cell research, you're off the hook.
And the mother can say, I'll get you next time.
The time just wasn't right now.
It's sick.
It's just sick out there.
It's of course a nonpartisan effort.
Be right back, ladies and gentlemen.
More broadcast excellence coming up.
That's right.
More fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Rush Limbaugh talent on loan from God.
A couple more poem ideas for uh the X Hale organization's e-card program for uh sympathy cards for uh uh abortion, roses are red, violets are blue.
I'm sorry we ran out of plan B and had to abort you.
Another one, roses are red and of small girth.
Just be thankful yours wasn't a partial birth.
There's any number of ways to uh convey the sympathy and the heartfelt regrets or the By the way, where's the happiness in this?
I because I I do, you know, I'll never forget the abortion debate, late 80s, early 90s, very, very, very tumultuous time.
And uh we heard all kinds of great arguments from the left about this is a disease.
I mean, it's a sickness.
I mean, this can cause women great, great problems.
This is getting rid of a health problem.
Where where is the where's the liberation theme in these e-cards uh for abortion?
We'll have to work on that as well, but lots of other things going on.
This is Aaron in Nashville.
Aaron, welcome, sir, to the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, I love you, man.
In a macho manly type way.
Um, not in the not in the Brookbeck way.
Exactly.
Yeah, God.
Let's get that straight, yeah.
Um I wanted to ask you about uh Alberto Gonzalez and Mrs. Bill Clinton thinking ahead in 2008, you know, trying to maybe get him out of the picture as a possible vice presidential candidate or and maybe that's why.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is no, no, no, no, no.
Don't don't don't don't be too smart by half on this.
They're not worried about Gonzalez being maybe a Supreme Court justice.
Uh they they're they they they have a lot of conservatives have had that fear, too, that the president would uh nominate Gonzalez to the Supreme Court.
Could be that.
Uh but I I think it this is all about Bush.
This is look, and it's more than anything, it's about Democrat politics.
You've got to understand the Democrats and the Liberals are who they are, and they are politicizing everything.
They're trying to make everything either a crime or a scandal.
Republican politics is nothing more than a scandal to these people, and they're they're they're trying to isolate the president from members of his own party.
Uh and and they're setting everything they're doing is aimed at the 08 presidential race.
Don't let that out of the equation.
There's there's no question that that's what this is about.
And this is why I Republicans don't see this or don't understand.
They probably get it's about the justice.
It's about the U.S. attorneys.
It's about we're being criticized.
It's not about it's this is the Democrats are playing politics for 08.
Uh a couple more audio sound bites here from the Breck girl, ladies and gentlemen.
He was on CNN situation room Wolf Blitzer.
And uh uh Wolf said the Democrat Party, the state of Nevada, was going to host the debate together with the Fox News Channel, but you pulled out.
They have subsequently canceled the whole debate.
Why why did you decide to pull out given the fact over the years you've appeared as a guest on Fox many, many times?
I didn't see any reason under those circumstances to give Fox uh a special forum.
I think they have a long history in how they deal with Democrats and how they talk about Democrats, and I saw no reason to give them a specialized forum.
Well, you're too afraid to face Britt Hume?
You're afraid to face Chris Wallace?
Who are you afraid to face, Breck girl?
This is this is uh they've I don't think they realize how much damage they have done to themselves by doing this.
What happens if the um result of all this is that Republicans only go on Fox and nowhere else, and Democrats go on every other network but Fox.
I mean, they say we've never been more divided in America than we are.
And it uh and uh and how's he gonna talk to terrorists if he won't?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, well, that's a good question, too.
I misunderstood what you were saying.
Uh if you're afraid of Chris Wallace, if you're afraid of Britt Hume, how in the world you're gonna talk to our enemies, Brett Girl.
You're gonna you're not gonna give the enemies.
Democrats want to give our enemies a bigger forum and more legitimacy than they want to uh grant to Fox News.
Uh the the Dan Gerstein, writing at Politico.com, had an interesting observation of two.
He said Fox provides a powerful platform to influence the views of hundreds of thousands of valuable voters.
It just seems self-defeating to pass up an opportunity to reach those voters just because the network features some inflammatory talk show hosts who think say things of which I don't approve.
Uh now here's the most interesting graph, though, paragraph in his piece of the politico.
And this will stun some of you people.
It'll probably stun the Democrats, it won't matter.
It is well understood that Fox's normal viewers are not typical Democrat voters, but contrary to the caricature drawn by the left, nor are they typically raving right wingers.
In fact, according to a study by MediaMark Research, only 38% of Fox News viewers self-identified as conservatives.
In terms, uh listen to this.
In terms of sheer numbers, that means that non-conservative audience, the non-conservative audience for Fox tops CNN's total viewership.
The non-conservative audience for Fox News tops CNN's total viewership.
And yet they still say that Fox is this is all smoke and Brett Girl, you you're just you're you're an embarrassment.
I mean, you can't even you can't even come up with a suitable excuse and make it sell.
Um another question here uh from Wolf Blitzer.
You want to comment uh what Bob Schrum has apparently written in his memoirs about you.
Uh hold it, hold it.
Stop that.
It's audio sound bite number twelve.
Let me set it up again here.
Wolf Blitzer saying to the Brett Girl, you want to comment on what Bob Schrum apparently has written in his memoirs.
Well, uh, I haven't seen what what Bob Trump said.
I'll just speak for myself.
Uh there was a lot of pressure on the question of what we should do about the uh the vote on the uh war in Iraq.
Uh but the pressure wasn't political.
The pressure was trying to do what's right.
And I've said many times that not only was I wrong about the intelligence, as were as were most of the people who voted for the war, uh, but I also was wrong in the judgment to give uh this president the authority, and uh no one else is responsible for that.
Well, now this is the third version of this we've received.
Rob uh Bob Schrom, who uh is in his memoirs said that uh he took the blame himself for Edward's vote on the war, saying he advised Edwards, he was a political consultant, that you better do this to pad his presidential resume.
Uh Edwards then said, no, no, no, no.
The Eberts campaigns, no, no, no, no, no.
We relied on the faulty intelligence.
We we thought the intelligence was right.
Now, what is Edwards saying here?
Um he was wrong in the judgment to give this president the authority.
Uh he said the pressure wasn't political, the pressure was trying to do what's right, and I've said many toms that not only was ah wrong about the intelligence uh but uh so uh this is not gonna sit well with the with the hand obviously doesn't sit well with the Brett Girl, having Bob Schrum, the architect of the John Kerry defeat, uh say that uh Edwards was living to listening to political consultants.
And you know what?
I don't know what the case is here, but I'll just tell you that in the case of many, many politicians, That's one of the reasons we don't have striking leaders out there anymore.
We've just got a bunch of people led around by the nose by a bunch of consultants who are out there focus grouping and taking all kinds of polling data and so forth.
It was epitomized by Clinton even polling where he should go on vacation, what he should wear while on vacation.
Stephen in Lincoln, Nebraska, welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello there.
Welcome from the great state of Nebraska where the ethanol runs like liquid gold and the senators make decisions for non decision.
How are you today?
I'm fine.
Thanks very much.
Well, you were I've just been listening to you every day for years and years.
And I remember after President Bush got elected to the White House, and the keyboards were being thrown out because the letter W was missing.
And everybody was calling your show, saying, What is poor Rush going to talk about now?
Now that Bush is in the White House.
I just cannot believe all the things that have happened in our world in our country and our government that you have so many things to talk about for all those people to call into your show and say, poor Rush, what is he going to talk about?
Well, those people weren't actually calling.
That is a standard Democrat attempt to uh marginalize me and to convince people that I'm no longer uh worthy that I no longer matter.
I mean it and there's a long rich history of this.
This program started in August of 1988, which was a presidential election year and it was the height of the season.
And uh after uh and we talked about it quite a bit on this program during its uh inaugural three months, and immediately when the election was over, the press, the drive-by media, well, what's what's Rush going to talk about now?
Geyser in the White House, what's it gonna what's he gonna talk about now?
Uh and then of course we had the House Bank, we had the uh House Post Office, we have it was all we did the environmental updates, we were doing animal rights updates and so forth.
Then Clinton wins in '93.
The same drive-by media, so what's Rush going to talk about now?
His side's just been defeated.
He's just been totally discredited.
Then, and by the way, at that point we had 500 radio stations.
After eight years of Clinton, the drive-bys then said it was the Clinton administration that made Rush Limbaugh.
We'd added about 125 stations during Clinton's administration, 500 stations going in.
So after Clinton was over, uh, it was, oh, what's Rush going to talk about now?
The guy who made him who he is, Bill Clinton is gone.
Uh it's gonna happen uh you know what happened last election.
Well, this is the end of limbaugh, this Michael J. Fox thing.
That's it for Limbaugh, and the Republicans have won the election, and that's you know, that's just uh uh Limbaugh's days are over.
They do it every election.
Uh and they know it's not true.
It's just uh it's part of their continuing smear and destroy effort, trying to create the impression in as many minds as possible that uh any of their critics, me at the top of the list, uh are now old hat.
I was even referred to that way the New York Times.
It was lumped with John Travolta as uh as old hat.
Uh yeah, it was a story.
I forget what the story was even about, but the uh essence of my being included in it was, you know, Limbaugh name comes up now and then and Travolta's name comes up, but they're basically old hat.
Times have passed them by.
But at least you can still say about them, they set the trend for what's happening.
I don't know how Travolta got through it.
It was not a political story.
It's a story about people that have come back from having thought have been dispatched uh to the basement and so forth.
So it all runs the gamut.
I'm old hat, uh my day is done, things have passed me by.
Uh uh Yeah, I was a fad.
Oh, yeah, it was a fad.
First seven years it was just a fad.
Uh there, there will folks there will never ever be any contemporary drive-by media acknowledgement of the uh trend setting nature of this program, the historic uh things that have happened as a result of this program starting.
There will never ever be a contemporary drive-by media recognition of the true success and size of this program.
It's never ever gonna happen.
And I don't sit around waiting for it, so I don't.
Uh oh, yeah, then I became dangerous.
After the fad, then I became dangerous.
Most dangerous man in America.
just all over the all the while they're praising Gary Hart once a week.
And then Mario Kumo once a week.
The new saviors of radio.
Blah, blah.
It's always been a joke.
Back in a sec.
It seems like we got another one of those days going where I, L. Rushball, with half my brain tied behind my back, can't do anything right.
We'll get to more phone calls in a moment.
A California woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only medicine keeping her alive is not immune from federal prosecution on drug charges, according to a federal appeals court.
Now, which federal appeals court do you think this is?
San Francisco is the Ninth Circus.
The case was brought by Angel Rach, an Oakland mother of two who suffers from scoliosis, a brain tumor, chronic nausea, and other ailments on her doctor's advice.
She eats or smokes marijuana every couple of hours to ease her pain and bolster a non-existent appetite, as conventional drugs didn't work.
The Supreme Court ruled against Rach two weeks ago, saying that uh medical marijuana users and their suppliers could be prosecuted for breaching federal drug laws, even if they lived in a state like California where medical pot is legal.
Because of that ruling, the issue before the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals was narrowed to the so-called right to life theory that marijuana should be allowed if it is the only viable option to keep a patient alive.
A woman here is 41.
She began sobbing when she was told of the decision and said she would continue using the drug.
I'm sure not going to let them kill me, she said.
Oh my God.
So tough jurisdiction out there on the marijuana smokers.
Even if the only keeping you alive.
Can you believe the Ninth Circus deferring to the Supreme Court?
I mean, they have to, but they did.
This is such a renegade bunch that you have to wonder what they were smoking in order to uh defer to the uh U.S. Supreme Court.
And France's highest court yesterday rejected as unlawful the first marriage by a gay couple in France, annulling the union of the two men.
Stephen Charpin and Bertrand Carpentier were married in civil ceremony June 5th, 2004, in a town in the Southwest Bordeaux region.
The government immediately said the union was outside the law, and a series of court decisions unfavorable to the couple followed.

We'll be right back, though.
