Duba Duba.
Baba Duba Dooba.
Yes, we are back.
Rush Limbaugh, an excellent role model for the youth of America, well known and well loved and mightily feared.
Radio Rackant Tour from the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
A thrill, a delight to be with you today.
Telephone number 800-282-288-2, the email address, Rush at EIB net.com.
Well, well, well, we just uh we've been discussing today.
I just want to touch on this briefly, if you missed it.
We've been discussing today a column by a guy named Paul Erinstein in the Los Angeles Times entitled uh uh The Magic Negro.
It's all about how that uh white people supporting Barack Obama can't possibly be doing it on the basis of substance, because there's nothing about him.
He's an empty vessel.
Nobody knows enough about him to support him on the basis of policy or substance, and so the white people supporting Barack Obama, the magic Negro, are doing so precisely because he's the magic Negro.
By supporting him, white people get to assuage their guilt over this nation's history with slavery and the Confederacy and all this other tripe.
And this has led to uh a number of points being made by me, brilliantly so on this program, that it is the left in this country that looks at people and sees their skin color or their gender or their sexual orientation as the first things they notice about them.
The whole point of this piece is to accuse white people of being racist.
They don't really like Obama.
They don't really like black people.
They feel guilty over what this country's done to black people and so they support uh Barack because he's the quote unquote magic Negro.
This is the same newspaper that has run a couple of stories on is Barack Obama Black Enough.
This prompted a drive-by caller, Dan from Fruitport, Michigan, to suggest that the Democrats, since they feel so bad about this, should offer black credits to somebody like Obama, who is not black enough in the eyes of the LA Times and other liberals, so he could go out there and buy black credits.
So he could eventually I've I've like Gore, you know, offsets his carbon use with carbon credits.
Obama, the magic Negro, could offset his lack of blackness with uh with black credits.
Uh he didn't say he could down for the struggle, and that he has uh uh roots in the civil rights movement.
Reverend Sharpton's upset, you know.
Obama, where were you?
We march for justice in Selma.
Uh and so forth.
So clearly, it is a uh I mean, it's it's just remarkable to continue to witness the actual racism that exists on the left.
Uh using the term magic Negro to apply to you white people who are supporting uh Obama.
Uh singing a song in my head here during the break.
Barack, the magic negro to do.
Uh-oh, Dawn's shaking her head on that.
What are you saying?
If I do that, I then will own the term.
Because I will be taking it above and beyond how it's been used.
Well, that's what we always do here.
We do parodies and satires on the idiocy and the phoniness of the left.
Um put throughout L. Yeah, we could put a little LA Times lyric in there to make, you know, make it obvious who it was that actually used the term.
I mean, don't start telling me to shy away from this stuff.
That's why I'm where I am.
That's why I'm who I am, and for which I make no apologies.
I'm very proud and happy.
Uh Bua.
Well, what if he's I know he's for universal health care surrender in Iraq, but what's unique about that?
Any Democrat, you can vote for any Democrat for that except Lieberman, and he's not running.
Well, well, but according to shouting at me in the IFB again.
Uh and uh what the point is that they're trying to tell me that Barack Obama does stand for things, regardless of what the LA Times columnist says.
Uh but you look at don't argue with me.
Call Erinstein.
Erinstein says he's an empty vessel and doesn't stand for anything, and therefore any white support is baseless in meaning it's just racist in nature.
Let's move on, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, one other thing here.
Robert Novak, a little blurb uh uh Saturday or Sunday forget when this aired, it was uh when it when it when it was published over the weekend.
Uh Senator uh Mrs. uh Bill Clinton raised eyebrows among Democrat insiders when the Washington Post columnist Al Kamen reported that she dined last week at the 701 restaurant downtown Washington with Joe Wilson and his wife Valerie Plame, along with the left wing journalist Sidney Blumenthal, leading Democrats have stayed away from Valerie Plame's and then Joe Wilson, too, since a Senate Intelligence Committee report in 2004 discredited him.
Blumenthal was known as a vicious attack man when he worked as an aide to President Bill Clinton.
We actually worked for Hillary, I think.
They called him Grassy Knoll.
He's out there fabricating all of these conspiracies on the right to get uh Hillary anyway.
Uh Novak writes that Clinton's choice of dining companions casts doubt on Valerie Plame's attempted image modification into a centrist Democrat who wants to avoid the politics of uh personal destruction.
It doesn't surprise me, Valerie Wilson, Joe Wilson out there meeting with Mrs. Clinton before the hearings start.
And then she goes up there and says, We've got to guess get politics out of our intelligence uh business.
Have you heard about uh school bus Nagan?
The slow pace, this is from the uh NOLA.com website, the New Orleans Times Picky Unit website.
Slow pace of New Orleans post-Catrina recovery is part of a plan to change the city's racial makeup.
The mayor's school bus Nagan told a national newspaper publishers group last week.
According to the Washington Post, School Bus Nagan made those remarks at a dinner meeting Thursday of the National Newspaper Publishers Association, a trade group for newspapers that target black readers.
He told editors and publishers that the slow recovery is part of a plan to change the racial makeup and hence the political leadership of the city.
Hey, school bus, where were you?
This is the first thing some of the conspiracy theorists said in the week after Hurricane Katrina.
Don't you remember Bush steered the hurricane there and ordered the levees not fixed so that black people, Democrats, would be forced to leave New Orleans and find a better life elsewhere in the country and never come back.
This was one of the original conspiracy theories that this whole thing was a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant Bush ploy to take away a prominent Democrat state, Louisiana, and school bus Nagan has now made the charge official.
He said, Ladies and gentlemen, what happened in New Orleans could happen anywhere.
They are studying this model of natural disasters, dispersing the community and changing the electoral process in that community.
They uh uh Nagan referred to Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrew, who's was his opponent in last year's mayor's race as the Golden Boy, said Landrew's chances in the election seemed good because they dispersed all of our people across 44 states with one-way tickets.
They thought they were talking about a different kind of New Orleans, uh, school bus Nagan said.
They didn't realize that folks were awake.
They were paying attention.
Uh Mitch Landrew did not return a call for uh comment.
Uh Nagan said, I to this day believe if it happened in Orange County, California, or South Beach, Florida, it wouldn't have happened.
Meaning Democrats sent packing with one-way tickets.
I don't think anybody could plan that well, however, said uh uh one of the opponents of Nagan's in the uh uh mayoral primary who endorsed him in the runoff against Landrew.
I don't think anybody could plan that well.
Of the supposed plan by an unnamed they to change the city's racial makeup.
He added that when he hears comments like that, I always ask who's the conspirator.
And I don't see anybody competent enough to pull it off.
You guys, where are you been?
Bush did this.
This was one of the original theories that was uh announced shortly after the hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
Uh anyway, I think that School Bus Nagan may be over overworked and stressed and and and might, you know.
Look at we're we're compassionate here, and we love people.
We only want the best for people, but it may be time for a little visit.
From the guys in that little van that wear the white coats for School Bus Negan.
And we're back.
Let's move on to the uh U.S. attorney story.
We start with audio sound bites.
Senator Specter on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, who said this week, you said that Chuck Schumer, uh, his role leading the investigation into the U.S. attorneys.
At the same time he's running the Democrats Senate campaign committee as a conflict of interest.
Has he crossed a line here?
I think he has.
Uh, and I uh confronted Senator Schumer on an eyeball to eyeball on Thursday in the Judiciary Committee meeting.
Senator Schumer is leading the inquiry.
And the day after we have testimony about uh Senator Domenici, he puts his name up on the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, criticizing or really uh making the argument that he ought not to be uh re-elected.
I'm gonna tell you something, folks.
Something's gonna have to be done here uh about about Senator Schumer.
This this is this is a man who wrote a letter demanding action from the Justice Department on the special prosecution of Valerie Plame's leaking.
That is an interesting way to put that, by the way.
Valerie Plaims leaking a faux pas that actually conjures up a weird image.
But nevertheless, he he's sending letters to the Attorney General and the Department of Justice demanding to know where the investigation is.
In other words, he's interfering with it.
He's demanding action, demanding progress reports.
Exactly the same thing he accused others of doing in the uh in this controversy over the firing of eight U.S. attorneys by the Bush Justice Department.
I mean, the man knows no shame.
He is responsible for this special prosecution that nailed Libby.
He's the one that kept Hectoring and pestering the Justice Department.
And by the way, uh I'm I'm just gonna say this again.
This is a direct result of not getting rid of the Democrat dead weight, it's D.O.J. when Bush took office in 2001.
It turns out that there's an assistant uh attorney general in there by the name of uh uh McNulty.
The American Spectator writes about this today.
A number of other people have been writing about it.
Here's what the spectator says.
The Republican staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee, meanwhile, looking into improper sharing of Justice Department personnel records by career Justice Department employees with members of the legal community.
We've seen evidence that some state and federal judges with ties to the Democrat Party were given personnel and performance review materials about certain U.S. attorneys across the country, says a Judiciary Committee staffer.
Now, some of the review materials were never seen by the attorney general and his staff, but were reviewed within the Deputy Attorney General's office, as well as by professional staff at the executive office for U.S. attorneys.
The leaks were clearly part of a campaign to embarrass them, the U.S. attorneys.
Meanwhile, the uh American spectators learned that members of McNulty's staff are supporting the possible nomination to one of the vacant U.S. attorney slots of a former government lawyer who had an affair with a colleague and now resides with not one but two women in what some in the attorney general's office have termed a trisexual relationship.
That residential situation would be adjusted if the name was put forward, says somebody familiar with the thinking in McNully's office.
The White House continues to struggle with this.
You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now, McNulty, his first name is Paul.
Uh, and what what's happening here is that he's apparently, according to people making the charge, responsible for starting this whole thing and getting everybody all worked up about it because he wants to be attorney general.
Uh and I I'll tell you uh this is just me.
If if I were Bush, if I were this administration, I mentioned at top of the program.
It is inexplicable to me the way they're behaving.
It is though they do not understand that the Democrat Party is out to destroy them.
And it's also it it it it's it strikes me that that well, this just can't be.
It can't be they do not know that.
It do i i it it can't be that the president doesn't know that this is about getting to him.
They get Rumsfeld, they wanted Libby, they wanted Rove, they wanted Cheney, now they want Gonzales.
It's all about getting Bush.
Now, I I for the life of me, I can't believe in the White House they don't understand the game here.
I mean, if if if if this if they wanted to be proactive and go on offense, you fire this Paul McNulty guy, and you fire everybody involved here in leaking this stuff, and you get rid of the dead weight.
But Rush, but Rush, look at the hullabaloo.
Yeah, look at the hullabul.
Look at the hullabaloo now.
The hullaboo now is that this administration is hounded every day about something new, and every time one of these new things pops up, it gets legs for three or four weeks.
And you've got a hypocrite like Schumer, who demanded and led practically the charge for an independent counsel looking into the plane leak, now accusing others of doing exactly what he did and suggesting that they should be fired.
That these people were do were demanding updates and action.
And there's also this business, well, Rush, you have to admit that uh looks like they were getting rid of some of these uh U.S. attorneys who were uh uh working on corruption cases against Republicans like Duke Cunningham.
Uh I I take take exception with this because where is Duke Cunningham?
Last I knew he was in jail.
By definition, when you get rid of any U.S. attorney, you are theoretically interrupting an investigation.
But U.S. attorneys don't do the legwork personally.
Like the Conrad Black trial, uh jury selection ended last week.
It starts today, the opening arguments, the Conrad Black trial in Chicago.
Uh Canadian press baron, Lord Black of Cross Harbor.
You should see, by the way, I I have been keeping up with this because I know Conrad Black.
And I think I think uh this ought to frighten anybody what's happened to him.
Without one charge being proven, they have taken away 80% of his assets.
And they've limited him to put a budget and so forth without without one charge being proven.
Bail is something like 21 million dollars, had to put a house up for collateral to secure it.
Uh is he's charged with uh making his company a piggy bank and basically using it like uh Kozlowski did with Tycho.
Fine and dandy.
But they've taken away so much of what was his prior to even one charge being proven.
Trial's gonna go on three to four months.
Some of the jury comments scary, potential jurors.
The judge in the case Amy St. Eve in Chicago had to tell jurors there's nothing criminal about having wealth.
There is nothing criminal.
They kept saying, I can't believe somebody's got as much money as Conrad Blackhead got it legitimately.
Nobody does.
That's Enron like.
You know, that's what happens at Enron at WorldCom.
So she's constantly admonishing these jurors during the selection process.
Well, but there's nothing wrong with having a lot of money, and there's nothing wrong with there's no crime about it.
So it's it's scary when you read some of the comments of these jurors, these potential jurors.
I don't know who they finally ended up with and and what their attitudes were, but it's it's scary.
Anyway, my point about all this is a little sideline.
My point is that Patrick Fitzgerald is the U.S. attorney in Chicago.
But he's not going to try the case.
The assistant U.S. attorneys do.
He'll stop into court and check it out, see how he.
Now he tried the uh Libby case because he was the independent counsel.
But he also had a bunch of assistants that helped out in the courtroom.
But these U.S. attorneys don't go to court.
They're not the ones that are out there actually conducting the press.
They run the office.
They decide who's going to go after what and get done and so forth, and they sometimes will show up an opening argument or closing.
It's very rare.
So the idea that these eight U.S. attorneys that were dispatched shut down investigations is absurd.
And you can prove it by simply looking at where is Duke Cunningham.
But even beyond that, the idea that firing eight U.S. attorneys is bad for law enforcement and and crime and this sort of stuff.
What about when you fire 93 of them?
As uh Bill Clinton did in March of 1993.
Fire all 93 U.S. attorneys and then give them 10 days to clear out their offices.
They're working On things.
Jay Stevens in Chicago working on an indictment against Rostinkowski.
And that eventually came.
Stephen said he was 30 days away from an indictment.
The indictment finally came 14 or 15 months later.
But but you you think investigations weren't interrupted?
Well, 93 U.S. attorneys were just this whole thing is an embrolio over nothing.
There is no scandal.
The White House acts like there is.
Well, we hope Gonzalez stays on.
Well, all weekend long.
Drive-by media reporting tough week, just waiting now for Gonzalez to be fired or Gonzalez resignation, and there's a headline today in a story, White House hopes Gonzalez stays on.
White House hopes Gonzalez stays on.
Gonzalez might quit on his own, and they can't stop it.
I don't this is this is just it's just crazy.
But none of this would be happening if Bush would have gotten rid of the deadweight Democrats holdovers from the Clinton administration at DOJ when he took office.
Now he's paying a price for it.
In so many ways.
Okay, we're back.
I want to get a couple more uh audio sound bites in on this.
U.S. attorney B.S. And then we'll move on to a global warming update.
Some hot news here.
But first, uh here's Senator Schumer, who was on Meet the Press yesterday, and Tim Russert said there's some supporters of the president who are saying that Chuck Schumer is a member of the Judiciary Committee, also chairman of campaign committee, Spector's saying this, to elect Democrat senators, and that this is just all about politics.
Yeah, this is much too serious to be about politics.
And the bottom line is our committee is simply looking into the misdeeds in the executive branch, in the Justice Department, in the administration.
Anything that has to do with any elected official, any congressman, any senator, will be handled by the ethics committee.
So there's no conflict whatsoever.
Yeah, well, what are the odds you'll be drawn before the ethics committee?
He's he's he's he's using the testimony he gets here and then taking it to the Democrat Senate campaign control or uh uh committee and putting it up on their website as he did with Dominici.
But anyway, that that's that's beyond the point.
Much too serious about politics.
That's all this is.
The war in Iraq, the surge and opposing it, securing defeat for our troops.
All of this is about electoral politics for 2008.
Everything the Democrats are doing is about electoral politics of 2008.
And nobody, nobody over the weekend asked Schumer about the letter he wrote to the assistant attorney general demanding to know what was happening with the investigation into the leak of Valerie Plame's name.
And I read that letter to you on this program last week, and it was a letter of interference.
It was a letter demanding to know things he's not entitled to know.
It was a letter demanding certain action take place now.
He was behind that whole thing.
He was behind the appointment of an independent counsel.
He's the one that that pushed it and so forth.
And of course it's not about it's not about politics.
Now we move on to Pat Lahey, he was on with Stephanopoulos.
He's just sick and tired.
Uh Stephanopoulos said, if I understand Senator Leahy correctly, if the White House claims executive privilege, you are still going to subpoena.
The pound decision on putting on the agenda subpoenas is mine, and they will be on uh Thursday this week among the subpoenas that will be voted on, will be one for Carl Rove and one for Harriet Myers, another one for her deputy.
I want testimony under oath.
I am sick and tired of getting half-truths on this.
It's just unbelievable.
There's no reason to call Rove up there.
He's one of Bush's political aides.
He is a policy aide.
He's a number everything that happened with these U.S. attorneys is perfectly legit.
Uh this is this is uh it's all about electoral politics.
It's not letting the president take a breath.
Uh, you know, and everything, I don't care what it is.
If the earth wobbles on its axis, we gotta talk to Carl Rove about this.
These guys have got rove itis.
But I'm telling you, it's all about destroying this White House and advancing Democrats' electoral chances in 08 and isolating Republicans from the uh from the president.
Uh and and uh but it's it's relentless.
You know, people pay half attention to this, already believe there's some kind of big time scandal uh involving the firing of these attorneys.
People didn't even know there were U.S. attorneys, they couldn't care less.
Now think some giant scandal is happening.
These people are incorrigible.
These people are a bunch of Stalinists.
And they are making there are two Americas, folks.
All this talk about there's too much partisanship and we need to build a bridge.
There's it's it's not possible.
The left in this country is gone.
They're just they're anti-America, anti-anything that is good for this country, and they're making one of the biggest power grabs I have witnessed in my lifetime.
And it's all focused on 2008.
Uh Russard asked asked Schumer, will Alberto Gonzalez survive as attorney general?
Number 14, I'm sorry, I jumped ahead.
Number 14, point number four.
I think it's highly unlikely he survives.
I uh I wouldn't be surprised if a week from now he's no longer attorney general.
If uh attorney general Gonzalez steps down.
The White House has a real chance to clear the air to restore faith that the rule of law will come first and politics second in the Justice Department, not the other way around.
If they nominate somebody who, by their reputation and career, uh shows that they put rule of law first, a person like a Michael Mukazy, a person like a Larry Thompson, a person like a Jim Comey.
These are conservative Republicans, but they put the rule of law first.
Oh, please spare me.
Comey is the no wonder Schumer loves Comey.
Comey's the guy that ran for the tall grass after granting Patrick Fitzgerald practically the full rights of the Justice Department to go do anything, anywhere, anytime in the plane leak.
I think it's highly unlikely he survives.
I wouldn't be surprised.
A week from now he's no longer attorney general.
If he steps down the White House has a real chance to clear the air, that's another bunch of BS.
There's no there's not gonna be any clearing of the air.
The blood is gonna be thicker in the water.
Gabe Rumsfeld, they want more.
Give them anybody, and they're gonna want more.
This I don't, I don't I just don't understand the White House attitude about this.
They don't understand that the president's a target.
They can't they have to understand this.
They have to know there can't be this much naivety in there.
There just there just can't be.
And yet, uh there's there's no response to this stuff.
President could stand up and say, you charges are baseless.
I am not gonna get rid of the attorney general.
These eight U.S. attorneys, if I want to get rid of them, I can get rid of them, and I can get rid of them for whatever reason I want, whenever.
I don't care what you think of it.
That might cause a fire storm, but what the hell do we have now?
They're gonna keep attacking him no matter what he does.
Why give them what they want in the process?
Frustrating.
Uh no, it's frustrating for you.
It is uh frustrating for me.
Here's one more.
Russert says, Mr. Rove's point, this is number 15, Mike.
Mr. Rove's point is that President Clinton dismissed all 93 U.S. attorneys, and that President Bush can fire any U.S. attorney he wants, and you're just simply making a political stink about it.
Every president has the right to hire and fire U.S. attorneys at will.
What's different here is not simply that the president wanting uh this choice, not that choice, but in these instances, the evidence is becoming more and more overwhelming that certain U.S. attorneys were fired because either they wouldn't prosecute a case that was politically advantageous to the White House, or they were prosecuting a case that was disadvantageous to the White House.
Every legal commentator, left, right, center, says you can't do that.
I want to see such evidence.
I haven't seen this evidence.
The U.S. attorney in Little Rock himself said, I'm leaving.
I'm not leaving when my term expires.
What the hell was going on at Little Rock that Bush was afraid of?
Randy Duke Cunningham, they keep talking about the U.S. attorney Carol Lamb, Duke Cunningham's in jail.
Um couple of judges in uh what was it, New Mexico, uh U.S. attorneys in New Mexico were not pursuing illegal immigrant cases.
Uh to say that that's a Bush agenda, Bush's uh uh uh uh idea on illegal immigration is amnesty and so forth, or a version of it.
Uh anyway, th this is this is uh this continues to defy my credulity.
I I I I watch this stuff and I know what's happening.
I watch the drive bys and know exactly what they're doing.
I know what people like Schumer are doing, who is disingenuous and phony, concerned as he can be.
He's I mean.
You know what?
You know something else?
For the first five years of the Bush administration, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, which is Manhattan, was a protege of Chuck Schumer.
And Bush didn't get rid of him.
I forget his name.
But uh Schumer's guy was kept in office.
You you would think that would get some appreciation.
Schumer had this guy that I forget his name, and I don't I don't remember all the details, but uh uh this this protege uh Schumer had plans for him for something to you know jumpstart his career, he'll give him a career boost, which is fine.
Don't misunderstand me on this.
I'm just talking about in in terms of humanity.
Here's Bush bending over backwards and forwards, extending the hand of friendship, cooperation with Senator Schumer.
His guy is the Southern District of Man of New York U.S. attorney, and he's in there for five years.
And he didn't leave under a cloud.
I mean, he left it was it was time he wanted to go and move on to other things.
Uh and and yet here is here's this ingrate, Chuck Schumer with uh no appreciation for any of this thing.
And the idea that the White House think they were buying some is what continues to befuddle me.
You cannot buy friendship with these people.
You can't buy kindness, you can't treat them in kind and expect them to reciprocate.
That's just not how they are, which is no mystery, is it?
You figure it out.
I can't.
And as is always the case, we have a burgeoning and growing stack of global warming information, ladies and gentlemen.
So it is time.
All right, global warming update.
Paul Shanklin portrays Al Gore.
That's Al Gore Ball of Fire, take off on Johnny Cash Ring of Fire, Paul Shanklin, the vocal portrayal there of the eco warrior Al Gore.
Last week I made mention of the fact to you that the president of Czechoslovakia, Vaslav Klaus, uh was saying this is it it this global warming thing is uh just this new branch of communism.
He's uh he's in Washington.
He told U.S. Representative Joe Barton of Texas, a Republican, and the former Speaker Dennis Haster on Monday today, it becomes evident that while discussing climate, we are not witnessing a clash of views about the environment.
We are wish witnessing a clash of views about human freedom.
He is exactly right as I have been trying to warn everybody.
Global warming is not about science, it's not about saving the planet, it's about taking away people's freedom and getting them to go along with it on the basis of guilt, the fact that they have sinned in destroying the climate and killing the polar bears, so you'll give up your freedom, make modifications in your guilty lifestyle, raise taxes that you will pay, gladly so, just to feel better about yourselves.
As someone, this is this is Vaslav Klaus.
As someone who lived under communism for most of my life, I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy, and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants.
Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism.
Well, lo and behold, I have been saying this since the early 90s.
A giant see I told you so.
I have been saying, and you people who've been around regularly know it, that militant environmentalism is the new home of displaced communists.
It's where they have taken refuge.
This so-called climate change and especially man-made climate change has become one of the most dangerous arguments aimed at distorting human efforts and public policies in the whole world.
Now, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold further hearings about global mourning on Wednesday, and one of the lead witnesses will be the former vice president Al Gore.
Now, Matt Drudge had on his website uh still up there, probably still up there.
Somehow Drudge got hold of some questions being bandied about for Al Gore.
You know what Gore's gonna do?
He's gonna he's gonna pull a Valerie Plame.
She knows, well, uh Congressman, I am not a lawyer.
I uh I don't know if they're and Gore will go up there and say, well, Senator, I'm I'm I'm not a scientist.
And this really isn't an issue of science, it's a moral issue.
Which is what he said at the uh academic awards.
Uh anyway, this is John Dingle's committee.
And John Dingle, uh Democrat Michigan, he's chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
Uh Gore's going to go over to Boxer's Environment Public Works Committee in the afternoon in the Senate.
Uh and they're going to have overflow seating, and they're going to have protesters for and against Gore.
Gore's going to get a 30-minute opening, and then Boxer and a Republican counterpart, Senator James Inhoff, each get 15 minutes of questioning in addition to their opening statements.
Other senators will only get five minutes of QA.
One thing about Dingle, he's a Democrat, but he's a big global warming skeptic because his is uh his district in Detroit encompasses the automakers.
You know, and they're the ones that are in the first line of attack, because of course they are producing the most destructive elements of our civilization that cause global warming, which is also I get a story.
Where did I do with it?
Do you know that termites?
What did I do?
Termites produce more?
Did I have it here in the end or did I put it up?
No.
Here it is.
Hang on just a second.
Get this EPA.
The EPA says the world termites emit uh 20,000 kilotons of methane gas per year, almost as much as all of the United States' man-made methane emissions combined.
Termites.
And now cows and steer, you know, cattle and so forth.
This is EPA saying this, not me.
Here's some of the questions for Al Gore.
Circulating behind the scenes, Drudge says.
Mr. Gore, you've said several times we have 10 years to act to stave off global warming.
Was that 10 years from the first time you said that, or 10 years from now?
Just wanted to get a firm date from you that we can hold you to.
