Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Has uh anybody heard?
Hey, hey, hey.
Psst.
The show has begun.
Would you stop the high school gossip in there?
Official program observer not observing.
I just want to know.
Has anybody seen an Al Gore or Laurie David press conference yet on the first tropical starts a subtropical storm?
Subtropical storm.
Andrea Mitchell has formed off of the um Georgia North Florida coast and is heading west.
This is southwest.
It's gonna may not hit land per se.
Some of the models say it won't, but it's uh it's up there uh near Jax Hill, 45 miles per hour uh sustained winds.
I mean this this made the order for the global warming nuts.
Is it not the rain's not gonna get that far down here?
Uh no rain in our forecast greetings.
Welcome, folks.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network of the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Boy, are things percolating out there today.
Things are swirling, things are sizzling.
We're in charge of the thermostat.
We're uh in the kitchen and turning up the heat.
First thing, uh, ladies and gentlemen, you people know that I am a compassionate, thoughtful, helpful, generous individual.
Uh well, you may not know that personally, but you know people who know it, uh, and you may have deduced it from your many, many years of listening to this program.
I saw something yesterday that saddened me.
I saw something yesterday that uh didn't didn't surprise me, but it saddened me.
Katie Courick's ratings, CBS Evening News, have now reached the lowest point since 1987.
Now that's 17 years.
Uh and 1987 was back when the drive-by still had their monopoly.
Back in 1987.
Well, no, yeah, they did.
They still, it was basic.
Twenty years, that's right.
For some that's 20 years.
Why do I think this is 2004?
Thank goodness it's not.
Twenty years, the lowest rating since 1987.
And you if you if you add up the numbers of the entire population, all the ratings, all the numbers of the three drive-by network newscasts, I think you come out something like 5% of the American people are watching.
And at CBS, the CBS Evening News with Katie Currick's lowest numbers since 1987.
And this is, you know, they gotta be over there at BlackRock.
They gotta be, they gotta be wondering what to do.
And I, ladies and gentlemen, want to help.
So I today am going to offer to Katie Couric myself as an interview subject for the CBS evening news.
I've had sixty minutes after me.
I've had 2020 after me.
Good morning, America's been after me.
I've had everybody's been after me, you know, for the last three or four years, and I've turned them all down, not ready to speak.
But I I uh I am I am willing in in order to help Les Mundus and uh and CBS and Katie Couric, uh I will offer myself I'm Rush Limbaugh, I am ratings.
As I said yesterday, and in an effort to save uh the CBS Evening News with Katie Courick, I make this public offer today out of magnanimity, out of generosity, out of compassion, uh, and out of uh.
Uh uh, well, that's hard.
I would love to give her some of my rating points, but I'd have to negotiate with the audience to watch her show.
And I don't know if they'd accept Oh, speaking speaking, get what look what I got here.
For those of you watching on the Ditto Cam, finally, after two months, the Rush peace mugs have arrived.
I got mine today, just arrived, and of course I get mine since I own them.
I got mine before anybody else does.
This is the uh the peace mugs that uh denote my nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize this year.
Uh and uh on one side you can see there is the uh uh sort of a replica of the Nobel Peace Prize coin that has my caricature, my picture on it.
And here on the other side is the EIB logo, peace through limbaugh, Oslo 2007.
So I have mine now, and uh that that means that yours are also those of you who uh subscribe new subscribers to the website and the limbaugh letter, uh that means yours are in uh in the process of getting to you now.
So there they are.
We got I think we got twenty-four of them back there.
I asked for two dozens.
So if any of you people in there want them, if you can stop talking to each other long enough, feel free to go in there And uh and grab one.
You too.
Uh, Brian, uh, feel free.
I I I don't know if if I'll hear from Katie, Mr. Snerdley.
No, don't know, but I wanted to make the offer uh nevertheless.
Um, you know, I know the the the CBS Evening news, they tried making things up uh to see if they could pass that office news and it didn't work, and maybe they need a real newsmaker.
They they need a real ratings grabber.
Uh and uh, and that's me.
Of course, I have a solid history with CBS and its affiliates.
This uh this could be fun.
And you know, they did this, they did this piece last night.
Everybody in the drive-by's are trying to poo-poo what happened here at Fort Dix.
Oh, they're just a bunch of murderers, then uh they may be Islamic terrorists, but there's no ties to Al Qaeda.
I believe I'm getting ahead of myself.
We're gonna talk about that during the uh during the course of the uh of the program.
Now, also, I I keep getting emails from people who are upset that I'm not talking about the rising gasoline prices.
I I thought I have talked about them.
I've I've told you the reason the prices are going up, and that is refinery shortages switching over uh from winter to spring.
Uh, they have to make these different blends, they make less heating oil now, switch over to make gasoline.
But our refineries, you know, they're they're not all in the greatest shape, but we haven't had a new one since 1979.
Uh, and plus there are all these EPA formulations for different parts of the country for emissions and this sort of thing, and everybody, $4 a gallon, $4.
I doubt that it's going to get to $4 a gallon.
It'll eventually come to.
Well, I'm talking about the national average.
I know it's $4 a gallon in California, but the big oil knows that there's SAPs out there, it'll pay it.
And so that's that's that's that's why it's $4 in California.
There's all kinds of explanations to why the price goes up.
Uh however, uh, ladies and gentlemen, I ran across something last night I have to share that.
Every one of you, and I know that some of you, even you, big fans in this audience believe that big oil conspires to raise prices.
Don't forget the story we had yesterday.
Big oil making all kinds of contributions to Democrats.
But the Houston Chronicle didn't call them big oil.
They called them energy industries.
Industries in the energy sector.
But get this story.
It is from Merrill, Wisconsin, a service station that offered discounted gasoline to seasoned citizens, and people supporting youth sports teams has been ordered by the state of Wisconsin to raise its prices.
CETI Center BP owner Raj Bandari, this is a British petroleum station, obviously, has been offering seasoned citizens a two cent per gallon price break and discount cards that let sports boosters pay three cents less per gallon.
It's the way that he wanted to support uh various people and activities in his community in Merrill, Wisconsin.
But get this.
The Wisconsin State Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection says that those deals violate Wisconsin's unfair sales act, which requires gasoline stations to sell gasoline for about 9.2% more than the wholesale price.
Well, now hold on here just a second.
Hubbahuba.
Did you understand this?
The state demands in Wisconsin a retail price of 9.2% more than the wholesale price.
My friends, I can remember countless times on this program where you have complained called here and complained about the gasoline price, complained about big oil, and I've said if you want to, if you want to look at the real profiteers in gasoline, look at the states and look at the feds and look at the taxes that they collect off every gallon, and it's pure profit for them because they don't produce it, they don't drill it, they don't refine it, they don't research it, they don't find it, they just got their handout.
Every time you go to the pump, it gets even better.
This gasoline station owner, Raj Bhandari, said that he received a letter from the Wisconsin State Auditor last month saying the state of Wisconsin would sue him if he did not raise his prices.
Now, I don't know who the governor of Wisconsin is, but this guy had better, after this news gets out, you know, all these upper Midwest states, Wisconsin and Michigan, some of these governors have gone nuts when the price goes up, ripping big oil, demanding windfall profits taxes and all that to get even.
And Mrs. Clinton said she wants to take big oil's profits.
profits and put it into alternative energy or whatever else.
But now we learn that the state of Wisconsin demands a price, 9.2%, not 9.2 cents, 9.2% more than the wholesale price.
They said it.
They demand it, and they're going to sue this poor guy if he offers price cuts to sports boosters and to seasoned citizens.
Now, this poor man, this guy bought the um in fact, by the way, the state could penalize him for each discounted gallon of gasoline he sold with the fine determined by a judge.
This guy bought the gas station a year ago, said he worries that customers will think he stopped the discounts because he wants to make more money.
About 10% of his customers had used the discount cards.
Dale Van Camp said he bought a $50 card to support the local youth hockey program.
It would have saved him about a hundred dollars per year on gasoline in the state.
So the next time, folks, the next time you hear any government officials start ripping into big oil, I want you to remember this story and add to it the taxes they charge.
Now this demand that retail gasoline station operators bump their price by a minimum of 9.2% over wholesale.
I know some of you are saying, well, rest, that's to stop gas wars.
Why do they want to stop gas wars?
You know, what's the problem with gasoline wars?
Whatever happened to free enterprise and all that, whatever happened to people wanting to compete with one another.
At any rate.
Companion story.
Congressional Democrats under pressure from constituents complaining about high gas prices, promise that the 4th of July will be Energy Independence Day.
Well, whoopy do.
Fourth of July is going to be Energy Independence Day.
The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and top Democrats, other top Democrats announced yesterday a fight against what they charged was price gouging.
The Democrats added they will hold antitrust hearings about big oil.
This is in the uh Washington Times today.
You talk about drilling dry holes.
How many times have these people been there tomorrow?
Been there.
How many times they've gone to the windfall profit?
Do you people understand all this is a bunch of rhetoric to try to feed your anger to if your ignorant anger, by the way?
You are ignorant about the reason.
No, no, no.
That doesn't mean stupid.
You just don't know why prices go up.
You just, it's it's something about gasoline.
You understand it in other areas, but uh gasoline seems to just knock everybody for a loops.
He got this Democrats coming, well, yeah, windfall profits, energy independence day, July 4th.
But we're gonna make sure that people understand we are for them.
We're gonna attack big oil.
We're gonna it's a dry hole.
They attack big oil all the time.
The gas price continues to fluctuate, go up and down.
A windfall profits tax is gonna raise prices, folks.
Uh but just keep this in mind with the story I just told you about the state of Wisconsin.
This Congress, this is what Pelosi said.
This Congress under the Democrat leadership is working to make up for years of inaction, taking America in a new direction, helps bring down the cost of gas and promotes energy independence.
Somebody better send her the story about what's going on in Wisconsin.
What is it, Mr. Snertley?
Paying attention now.
What is him?
There's uh, well, it's this nerdly has it, where there's record demand.
Why is that if uh price is out of control?
Because gasoline is something people need.
They just, it's it, they they need it.
And it's the summer driving season.
You know, television networks.
This is a story in a stagger, two and a half million fewer people watching primetime television this season than last.
They're all trying to figure it out.
Why is this happening?
So they're chalking it up early daylight savings time.
My rear end early daylight savings time.
Try the shows suck, maybe, and you might get an answer.
Yes, yes, yeah, we've got the audio coming up of Barack Obama uh yesterday on the campaign trails in Richmond, Virginia, and overstated by a factor of 1,000.
The number of deaths at the tornado at Greenburg, Kansas.
I think he's just tired.
He's tired out there, a little fatigued, uh, and uh they they they they correct it.
The most interesting thing I can't show you because it's on the video.
The most interesting thing about Obama saying that 10,000 people died uh when an entire town was destroyed is that some of the Nimrods in the audience are nodding in agreement.
You know, I saw that and I just I just shake my head.
I just, you know, there's I guess we're just gonna have to accept a certain level of ignorance in this country, particularly among people on the left.
It's like that poll 35% of Democrats think that Bush knew about 9-11.
How in the world do you possibly understand that in a country like this?
By the way, I mentioned uh Katie Courick, she's not the only one.
Uh PMS NBC number cable networks doing everything they can to downplay the attempted murder, terrorist acts against hundreds of soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey and others.
Uh and I'd like to give you a little exercise here.
Reasonable questions about this episode versus liberal questions.
Here are just three reasonable questions about this.
How did the three illegals in this group of six get here?
Next reasonable question: what holy man issued the fatwa to enable them to inspire them to send them out there on this deed?
And number three, is that holy man a citizen?
And if not, will he be deported?
Now, the liberal questions about this event at Fort Dix are these.
Did this alert clerk at Kinkos who alerted the authorities?
Did he violate their civil rights?
When these six are in prison, will they get new Korans or will they get used ones?
Liberals will want to know if Nancy Pelosi will meet with them.
They'll also want to know who gets to represent these people against the tyrannical Bush administration, the ACLU or Ramsey Clark.
The next liberal question is, what do we as a country have to do to better understand these six Islamic radicals from Albania?
And the sixth question they will act or ask is uh haven't they suffered enough all ready?
Um You hear about John Edwards.
Hey, can we have we got a John Edwards?
You got it, you will not believe this, ladies and gentlemen.
We haven't heard from the Bret Girl in a while, and this one is a doozy.
Here he is singing.
That's Paul Shanklin is uh as the Bret Girl John Edwards, I am woman.
Now, for those of you just tuning in for the first time, oh my God, that's even worse than Barack the Magic Negro.
Remember now, it's all based on the fact some female columnist, I don't even remember her name, wrote some time ago that of all the Democrat candidates, the Breck girl understood women's issues better than anybody else, including Mrs. Clinton and the story.
Uh uh the Brick girl said yesterday he worked for a hedge fund between presidential campaigns to learn more about financial markets and their relationship to poverty.
And he also admitted he wanted to make some money.
So essentially, they asked him, What are you doing in a hedge fund?
He's already got a little trouble here with his 28,000 square foot mansion.
A little hypocritical.
What are you doing in a hedge fund?
I went to a hedge fund as I wanted to learn about poverty.
Wait a minute.
I thought he was already an expert on poverty.
He's already run a presidential, vice presidential campaign on that basis.
But it's given me an idea, folks.
I love, you know, the learning never stops here in the EIB net.
What I'm gonna do, since he went to a hedge fund to learn about poverty, I am going to work in a soup line for like a week or two so that I can learn about the rich.
We are having more fun than a human being, should be allowed to have Rushlin boss saying more in five seconds than most hosts say in an entire career.
Now get this from Chicago, one of my favorite towns, by the way, City of Chicago's taken down a billboard, a racy billboard, it says here, that proclaimed the following.
Life is short, get a divorce.
The uh billboard featured photos of a scantily clad woman in a shirtless man was an ad for Chicago divorce attorney Corey Fettman.
They display drew criticism from some residents in the Rush Street neighborhood, and from other lawyers who say the ad sullies their profession.
That's not possible.
The billboard was removed a week after it went up after Alderman Burton the Terrace determined it didn't have a proper permit.
Now, Corey Fettman, A lawyer, the divorce lawyer, says her billboard was no threat to people in happy marriages, and she says it was taken down without due process.
Her law partner, Kelly Garland added that even people who dislike the billboard should worry about what its removal means for um free speech.
What in the world?
What is happening to us folks?
What in the where what people cannot laugh?
If I've got a I got a great piece in the stack today uh from a guy analyzing and it turns out analyzing the Barack the Magic Negro song, he's got it right in the money.
I mean, I could have written this myself talking about why it works, but is it one of his points is that uh uh liberals just cannot laugh anymore.
They they have no sense of humor about anything.
Why in the world?
Now probably they're gonna say, well, rush, it wasn't the message, it was the scantily clad women billboard, the rush street area.
So what what what is happening to us?
What in the world?
I've told you all week.
Everybody's just getting tighter and tighter wound and sitting around afraid to say or do anything.
Uh might offend somebody.
This is absurd.
This is patently patently absurd.
We need to lighten up.
Everybody here just needs to lighten up.
Montgomery, Alabama.
Let me grab a couple of phone calls here before we move on to the Reverend Sharpton.
Uh Chad, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Rush Megadettoes, original listener when you were out in Sacramento.
Thank you, sir.
Listen, I was calling to uh tell you a little bit about this Wisconsin Unfair Sales Act on the gasoline prices.
Yeah.
It's a typical below cost pricing statute that a lot of states have.
Yeah.
And the the purpose of it is to prevent predatory pricing cost when a company sells below its actual product cost to put a competitor out of business, and then once that competitor's out of business, they raise their prices to the consumer when there's no longer any competition.
Understand all that.
Yeah, it's the Walmart scenario.
Well, it's it's yeah, it's it's the independence versus the big big big oil owned stations.
I I understand all that.
I just think there's a little hypocrisy here because like the governor of Wisconsin's a guy named Jim Doyle, he's out there threatening all these massive tax increases on big oil.
The gasoline price goes up and and uh uh he's the first to blame big oil, gets people all revved up and riled up.
And I just thought people should know that the states are requiring you know nine point two percent.
The law could easily say you can't sell below your cost, and leave it at that.
Yeah, and a lot of a lot of states actually do have statutes that don't set the nine point two cents.
What what that nine point two cents represents is basically the state assuming that the cost of transporting the the gasoline and the cost of the overhead that goes into uh uh the total cost is gonna be a minimum of nine point two cents.
Not it's it's it's nine point two percent.
Right.
Well, other states like Alabama basically say you can't sell below your cost, and then everybody fights over what's cost.
You know, and it's really two things you're fighting over.
Well, I understand, but this guy and this guy was uh still making a profit with his gasoline sales.
Yeah, and I think that I think that's unbelievable that you have a statute that it will allow him uh they would punish him when he's still making a profit.
Yeah, and they do.
And and but keep in mind, now only mention this.
I understand all these other things, the independence versus the big guys.
And this guy, this guy, I don't know if he's independent or not, it's station is a BP station.
Uh uh British petroleum does, and he's just managing it or franchising it or what have you.
Not the not the point here.
Point is that this is a governor who has been out there just trying to scare people to death about the rising price, is gonna bleed gonna come down a big way, windfall profits.
And I just want people to know that when they go by gasoline of Wisconsin, that their state is mandating a minimum profit of nine point two percent over the wholesale cost.
Nine their state is mandating it.
Not to mention all the taxes that they collect at the state level and the federal level without having to spend one dime to produce it.
They're just scavengers.
You know, they're like uh they're like a a bunch of buzzards up there.
Turkey buzzards or what have you, just waiting for the carcass of the consumer to roll in.
And then uh and then they don't produce any gas, they don't drill for oil, they don't research and develop any processes about they do not refine it, they do zilch zero nada.
Sit there and wail and moan and cry.
Bill in uh in Haran, Michigan, uh great to have you uh on the EIB network.
Hello.
Good morning, Rush.
Uh mega dittoes.
Thank you, sir.
Uh I I I agree with you on some points on this Wisconsin thing.
I owned a gas station here in Michigan for about twenty years.
And we never made nine point two cents per gallon.
The reason why the oil companies give you the price to sell your gas at, and they also charge you rent on the building that you that you have from them, which is about five cents a gallon.
And you don't make any selling gas, you don't make any money.
The gas station owner does not make money.
The the uh if you have a convenience store that sells gas, that's where you make your money.
If you have a mechanical uh uh bays in your station, that's where you make your money.
You don't make any money off gas.
I've heard that uh my whole life.
Okay, you know something that I that's even better.
If nobody's making any money off gasoline, then who the hell's benefiting from all the gouging?
I'm telling you the oil companies set the prices on gasoline.
Oh, okay.
Well, they're the ones so what they're the ones selling it to you.
It's a Sony determines the price of their Blu-ray DVD players.
Sony determines the price of their television, so they sell it Walmart and everybody else.
That's right.
Well, let's go after big electronics here.
Well, I d I totally agree.
Well, no, we don't know we don't think there should be any set prices from any company selling anything.
Because all that does is just rip off people.
Exactly.
They ought to be able to set the price base based totally on the market.
Exactly right.
Right.
Now you telling me that when I when I pull in well, I don't pull in, but when uh when the staff pulls into the local station and they use the full surf pumps.
Right.
I don't want my staff getting gasoline stained hands and fingers and they come back home.
Are you telling me that the premium price above whatever self-serve uh uh high test, whatever it is, is not profitable, even though some guy's coming out and squeegeeing the windshield.
I here in Michigan we have mostly self-serve.
There is some full serve uh uh pumps there, but there's very, very few.
The only people that can go to a full serve one and get it pumped by the individual with no extra charge are handicapped people.
But the they you don't sell enough gas here in Michigan at a full serve island to make any money.
I don't care if you charge ten dollars a gallon.
You're not gonna you're not gonna make enough money at it because nobody buys it.
Everybody pumps their own gas.
Well, all right, but if you charge ten bucks a gallon, I mean you'd sell less somebody go down the street.
I mean, but you're right.
All these price controls, uh this uh it's a it's a good economic lesson for um for what happens.
Kilgore, Texas.
Alan, thank you for waiting your next to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hey there, Rush.
Hey.
Uh I'm listening to about uh what you're just saying about Wisconsin.
There's a bill on the uh governor's desk here in Texas that the governor's gonna sign that's gonna put a moratorium on the twenty cent gas tax down here.
Oh, that's because there's panic over the rising price.
Well, they say we've got enough in our slash fund down here right now to cover any expenses that were coming out of those taxes for the next three months.
Uh well, uh is he running for reelection?
Uh no, he just was re-elected last election.
As Rick Perry.
Rick Perry, okay.
Well, then it's not a this this is um he is a Republican then, right?
Yes.
Yes.
That explains it.
Be right back.
Stay stay with me.
A lot of people are asking the question, is it religious bigotry?
We mentioned this to you yesterday in a debate at the New York Public Library that will be library for those of you in Sacramento that watch Channel 13.
Al Sharpton debating Christopher Hitchens, uh said this.
As for the one Mormon running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway, so don't worry about that.
That's a temporary that's a temporary uh situation.
And there was a little laughter out there from the gallery in the debate, the Reverend Sharpton saying today that uh well, yesterday.
No, no, no, no.
I was I would talk about the Republicans in general.
I uh I I didn't mean Mitt Romney.
Wasn't talking about Mitt Romney at all.
He said, Well, let's listen to this again.
Again, uh this is at the Celeste Bartos Forum at the New York Public Library.
As for the one Mormon running for office, those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway, so don't worry about that.
That's a temporary that's a temporary uh situation.
Now, on MSNBC today, Joe Scarborough during their morning show today, and he was talking to uh uh former Governor Mitt Romney about about whom Sharpton made the comment.
Uh and obviously Sharpton's view is that Mormons uh don't really believe in God.
At least that's the way Mitt Romney took it.
Here's what he said.
Yeah, I can only hearing that statement, uh, wonder whether there's not bigotry that still remains in America.
That's an extraordinary thing for someone to say.
I can't imagine what profited him to say something of that nature.
It's a uh extraordinarily uh bigoted kind of statement.
Now it's uh I don't know.
Would you assume from Romney's reaction here that he's offended?
Does he sound a little bit offended about this?
I'm not sure.
But uh Reverend Sharpton on the situation room with Wolf Blitzer back on April 9th, uh, had this to say about the offended.
If there's no punishment, if there is no policy in force, to continue to go there is to endorse the policy that it doesn't matter how vile you get and who is violated, that an apology will do.
It's strange to me that none of them have stopped to talk about the offended.
It is easy for people that have not been offended to forgive people that didn't offend them.
I think that is arrogant and insensitive.
I would think that everyone, especially those running for president, would first say, wait a minute, has there been some punishment and acknowledgement by those who were offended here?
How can I forgive somebody for something they didn't do to me?
Well now, it sounds like Reverend Sharpton is suggesting that the people who are offended have a right to be offended, and it needs to be some punish punishment, not just uh uh an apology here uh for me.
He's hasn't apologized.
He's claiming that uh he didn't insult Mormons nor uh Mitt Romney that he was talking about Republicans.
Guess we could say Reverend Sharpton today is acting, ladies and gentlemen, uh, and asking for some respect.
Should he get some?
So Mitt Romney sounded like he might have been offended.
The Reverend Sharpton thinks the offended should get more than apology, so we'll see how this comes on.
I don't expect the drive-by media to do much with this, but uh but we'll see.
In the meantime, in Richmond, Virginia, the uh Democratic presidential holeful Barack Obama is caught up in a fervor of a campaign speech.
Uh part of a campaign speech that he gave uh Tuesday drastically overstated the death toll in the Kansas tornadoes.
He said that thousands had died.
Here's how that sounded again yesterday in Richmond.
In case you missed it, this week, this week there was a tractor in Kansas.
10,000 people died.
An entire town destroyed.
Ten people died, maybe 12 people died.
Uh 12 people died, almost a factor of 1,000 he missed this by.
Uh but as I say, I've watched the video of this, and there are people in the audience nodding their heads.
And oh yeah, well, they the the the uh what is AP, Barack Obama caught up in the fervor of a campaign space.
So they're already setting the table for his being excused for this.
But I'm gonna if if George W. Bush or any Republican candidate had said this, it would have been run on the news every hour for a month.
Folks, uh, but but beyond that, because we all know that.
We all know that if a Republican or Bush had made this comment, it'd be all we'd ever be hearing about.
What this also illustrates is the never-ending tactic of all these Democrats to politicize everything.
But I predicted this is gonna happen.
They're gonna blame Bush for this, blame Bush for that.
Uh uh Bush is being blamed.
What is it he's being blamed for?
There's something incredible.
He's been uh he's been blamed for uh No, no, no, no.
Now he's being blamed for slow response.
We're gonna nail Kathleen Sabilius on that later.
But no, no, no.
He's be Oh.
Uh Indiana Unit uh Indiana University Dental School, bunch of people caught cheating in the in the in the final exam or some sort of test of blaming Bush for it.
Because he set the table here for lying and deceit and cheating about weapons of mass destruction.
Bush are being blamed for that.
Uh so but here here you politicize this disaster, just like they politicized Hurricane Katrina.
And 10,000 now, how many people actually think that herd barocks think the Barack Obama think of 10,000 people died in the hurricane?
Then you add what Kathleen Sibelius, the governor of Kansas, is doing to this.
Uh, well, uh, we don't have any help here.
