Time Text
I just saw the funniest thing to me.
What was it?
It was Fox, right?
I'm in Snerdley's office, so it's got Fox on in there.
And it's video of people in New Orleans, you know, out on the rafts, diving in to rescue people and so forth.
And the graphic says, New Orleans prepares for next hurricane disaster.
This is a good time to be doing.
How long ago was Hurricane Katrina?
About a year and a half.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
I'd have been more impressed if I had school bus drivers out there driving the buses out of town in a dry run.
How can you laugh about that, right?
I'm laughing at the news coverage, you people.
Hey, welcome back, Open Line Friday, Rush Limbaugh on the cutting edge.
Great to be with you here.
It's Open Line Friday.
We go to the phones and the program is all yours.
I love Open Line Friday.
You get a wide, very diverse number of things that we end up discussing.
And I never know what they're going to be.
So that's cool.
You know, I think we need to come up with a new name for Hurricane Season.
Hurricane season doesn't cut it.
I think we need to call it Terror Cane season or horror cane season.
Because that's how it's being marketed.
Terror Cane or Hurricane season.
Anyway, I want to go back to this guy, Terrence, who called from Boston, who was profoundly offended by the latest Lowe's commercial, which shows a man and his wife in there to try to talk into a sales consultant about getting some stuff.
I haven't seen a commercial, so I'm just repeating for memory what he told me.
And everything the wife wants to get, the husband says, no, I don't know how to use that.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
The guy is made out to be a total buffoon, which is not uncommon in television advertising.
Men have been buffoons, especially beer commercials.
If I see one more can of beer hit a guy in the groin, I mean, it's not even funny anymore.
Try that with a woman.
Try that kind of stuff.
But everybody sits around and laughs at this sort of stuff.
Men have constantly been made buffoons.
I mean, the last real man in a television commercial I remember was Mr. Clean.
And he was animated.
And what did he do?
He cleaned the floor.
The brawny towel guy, that's right.
Of course, the Marlborough man.
But, you know, that's a different thing altogether.
I think one of the things, I mean that when I tell you advertising is a window on the soul of America.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am in the advertising business.
And as such, I have over the over many years here, there is no advertisement that works.
Well, I can't say there's some that have worked on me, but I stand back and study these things for what they tell me sociologically and culturally.
I am not susceptible to the tricks and the come-ons that are in advertising because I know the business.
And I know what I want before I see it advertise anyway.
But most people watch commercials and don't just watch them for what they are, their entertainment value.
But look at the Super Bowl.
It's almost as popular for the commercials as it is for the game.
And especially if the game's a stinko, then the commercials do become the primary attraction.
Now, if this woman knows how to fix the house up and the guy doesn't, then what that tells me is the people that put the commercial together have done some research and found out that's going to relate to a whole lot of couples.
I mean, Lowe's is in the business of selling stuff, not offending the customer base.
And they're not going to do a commercial that's not in their mind as they go to production on.
They're not going to produce a commercial that is unrepresentative of truth unless it's an obvious satire.
So one of the things this commercial could have been doing, and we're searching for the audio of this now.
I don't know if we'll find it because we normally don't record commercials here at the EIB network, but Joe's looking for it.
If we find it, we'll play it for you.
And I want to hear it myself, too.
Now I'm somewhat intrigued by it.
But I think this could be speaking to men's aspirations.
Now, you just look.
No, wait a minute.
I'm telling you from the Lowe's perspective on this, Snerdley.
Snerdley told me during the break.
He thought the guy Terrence in Boston was right on the money.
And you're sick and tired of the way men are portrayed here as helpless buffoons and linguine spine little, you know, how many times can they get wrapped around their wives' little finger kind of guys, right?
You're fed up with that.
But this could have been appealing from the Lowe's standpoint to men's aspirations.
They want to be able to fix things, but they aren't sure they know how, and they don't want to be embarrassed in front of the girl.
They don't want to be embarrassed in front of the woman.
They don't want to look dumb by screwing it up.
And the commercial, actually, from the Lowe's standpoint, Lowe's could say, hey, look at the ending of our commercial.
This commercial affirms that men can learn to fix things.
Now, that's kind of insulting itself, but given where we are in our culture today, who knows?
But I guarantee you, they're not producing the commercial to make people mad.
If they find out that it's done that, they might cancel.
I don't know how representative Terrence in Boston is on this, but anyway, it's an advertising whole fascinating thing to study.
Try it.
Try just when next time you're watching television, don't zip past commercials and don't get up.
Just watch them and take yourself out of them from the standpoint of a customer or somebody they're trying to reach.
I was in marketing for the Kansas City Royals once, sales and marketing.
And we had a marketing plan, and we put it together every off-season.
Off-season for people like marketing people and salespeople is the busiest time if they work for a professional sports franchise.
And every year, the local media would call up, what's the marketing plan?
What's the thing?
We're not going to tell you.
We're not going to give people a heads up.
We're just going to execute the plan.
We're not going to sit here and tell you what we're going to do so you can go out and prepare people to insulate themselves from the plan.
The plan is the plan.
It can be sprung on people and it's designed to work when they don't know what's coming.
We don't even think of it as a marketing plan.
And that, to me, was one of the fascinating things about it was how can we, in our case, improve attendance.
And we quickly decided that there are too many baseball fans out there to prospect for rather than spend time going out and find people who aren't.
So the objective became find people to go once or twice and find a way to get them to come four or five times.
And that's how you bump up the attendance.
You can send people out in the community and say, are you a big baseball fan?
No, well, you ought to be.
Let me tell you why.
It's a waste of time.
Baseball is what has been around long enough.
Somebody doesn't like it, they don't like it, and they're not a prospect.
With Lowe's, Home Depot, whatever, they've got their specific products to sell, and they've got they put a lot of research into these commercials.
So you just sit there and watch the next time you have a television on, watch the commercials and separate yourself from it as a consumer and try to figure out what the commercial tells you about what the company running it thinks of America.
Because that's what they're trying to do is have that commercial work on you.
And of course, the anti-capitalists hate this because they think that we already buy too much stuff and that markets are based too much on consumerism.
And so they have their own way of insulating themselves from it.
Anyway, what?
Well, political ads are the same way.
But it depends on the season of the political ad.
In the primary season, political ads are run for a specific unit, and that's the base of the party in question.
After that, you get the general election, and then you can, this probably is more applicable.
Plus, there are regional characteristics involved.
We're talking national advertising here.
Anyway, let me take a brief time out.
We'll be back and continue with more of your phone calls.
And I've got some audio somebites I want to get to as well before we have to split the scene today.
Sit type.
We'll be right back.
And we went back to the news archives.
And this is a great illustration of just what we've been talking about.
We mentioned the brawny man.
I said the last manly guy in advertising was Mr. Queen.
And I said, the brawny man.
Back in the 70s, the icon for the brawny man was a Paul Bunyan type.
Little rough-shaven, dark-haired plaid shirt.
And then when did this happen?
This is the early 2000s.
They decided to, at this company, Brawny Paper Towels, they decided to change the icon and turn the guy into metrosexual.
And I've got the picture of the two things side by side.
It's not large enough to show you on the ditto can, but it's a different, totally, well, actually, I got it wrong.
I'll put it on the website and show you, but you can see the difference there.
And they did that because they got to relate to customers and sell the stuff.
This stuff happens all the time.
Advertising to me is a fascinating thing.
Here's Amy in Fort Eustis, Virginia.
Amy, thank you for calling and waiting.
Nice to have you on the program.
Thank you so much for taking my call, Rush.
I'm very excited to be talking to you.
Thank you.
I just wanted to call.
First, let me tell you a little bit about myself really quick.
I grew up an Air Force brat.
My father did not retire until I was a freshman in college.
And then when I was 20, I married a man who had just finished up flight school in the Army.
And that was almost 15 years ago.
So my whole life, I know the military lifestyle.
That's about all I know.
And along with that comes moving around all the time.
I am in, I'll be 35 years old this year.
I am in my 21st house in my life.
We move all the time.
The Army has moved us eight times in the last 14 years.
But, you know, I'm not complaining about that.
I like it.
It's always an adventure.
But I was just talking with my mom the other day, and none of my family lives anywhere that I ever lived growing up because they have moved around as well.
So I really don't have a concept of going home anywhere.
And I go visit family, but it's not really my home.
It's a strange city, you know.
And we were trying to think of what constitutes home for me.
And of course, wherever my husband and my kids are, that certainly helps.
But also I had this realization that no matter where I have lived, especially over the past 10 years or so, I have had Rush Limbaugh.
And we have the radio everywhere, and I can just turn it on.
And so I wanted to thank you for being, I guess, my stability and my home, especially for the past 10 or 12 years or so.
Wow, I don't know what to say.
That is so sweet.
That's so nice.
Sweet's a metrosexual word.
You're much more attractive than the new brawny man.
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
I agree with that.
Wow.
I'm not often speechless, and I'm not speechless now because I'm talking.
But that's one of the nicest things anybody's ever said to me.
Well, thank you.
I've been trying to talk about it.
I mean, if you would take the time, of all things to take the time to call about, to thank me for that or to mention that, that's very, very touching.
All the things that got you obviously have going on in your life to stop what you're doing today and make this phone call is.
I am actually sitting also outside of the Fort Eustis military base because I can't talk on my cell phone when I am on the post.
So you left your home to make the call, Eva.
Why that?
Well, I was driving and I wasn't sure I was going to get through, and I thought while I was driving, I would try.
And of course, I got through, so I have pulled over, and I'm sitting here.
It's at least 180 degrees out here.
And I'm not going to be able to get my grocery shopping done because I have to go pick up my kids.
But we'll just go out to dinner tonight and celebrate that I got to talk to you.
And it's a good day.
Well, that is so nice.
I wish my mother were alive to hear you say that.
My mother, this would make her so proud it would wash away whatever bad memories she might have of me for at least a couple days.
Well, good.
No, no, I'm kidding.
This would be something she'd be telling all of her friends about.
She was always so excited when anybody loved her little boy.
Well, we absolutely do here, and we talk about you and your show.
And my husband has received one of the 24-7 for the military, one of the subscriptions.
The adopt-a-soldier thing.
Yes, and so when he is traveling around, he logs in, and when he's not able to listen to you during the day, he logs in and can get updated.
And so we just enjoy you and enjoy your show.
And I wanted to tell you that you are like home for me.
So thank you.
Well, I appreciate that more than you know.
Tell you what, I'm going to do.
I want you to hang on here.
Mr. Sterdley will come get an address for you.
I want to send you a bunch of Nobel Peace Prize commemorative coffee mugs.
Oh, wonderful.
Yes.
And I might throw a couple other things in there, too.
This is one of the highlights of the week here, is your phone call.
Thank you again so much.
Thank you so much.
And by the way, Amy is in the top 10 of my favorite female names, just so you know.
Well, thank you.
I was named after my grandmother, a very good woman.
Thank you.
Obviously, she was, so are you.
Thank you so much.
Does your husband know how to do fix-up things around the house?
He likes to think so.
See, there we go.
He likes to think so.
No, he is.
I'm going to get in trouble now.
If he's not listening, we're going to play this.
Get it offline, and I'm going to be in trouble.
But no, he's not going to be able to.
No, that's an endearing, loving comment.
That's nothing he's going to get mad at.
He's actually pretty handy.
I get nervous if he ever has super glue or weed killer in his hands because he tends to go a little overboard there.
But other than that, he's pretty handy to have around.
All right, terrific.
Well, hang on here.
Now, don't hang up.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
You know, I just remembered something.
I have to tell this short little story.
I was married, living in Kansas City, bought a little house, had no business buying it, but did.
I had a next-door neighbor who just was constantly repairing, fixing, taking the oil out of the car, putting it back in just to do it.
Always on the roof.
Had a couple six-packs up there with his buddies.
And then-wife was saying, why don't you do things like because I don't want to do things like that?
I'll hire it done if I can't.
And it became a judgmental thing.
I've never been interested at fix-up stuff, which is why I have staff.
But anyway, all of that that we've been discussing reminds me, Daniel in Bakersfield, thank you for waiting.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Russ.
What a wonderful opportunity to speak to one of my mentors.
Well, I appreciate that, sir.
Thank you very much.
I was calling to ask you what you would do if you were a nobody wanting to market yourself to be a somebody, you know, if you wanted to start a business.
How would you market yourself?
Well, it's tough for me to relate to being a nobody, but let me try.
Actually, I was a nobody for most of my life, and I never the best answer I could give you is this: what I never considered a separate marketing plan to accompany what I was doing on the radio.
I just tried to just let the performance, the radio show, the quality of it speak for itself and let that take care of the marketing, the word of mouth or what have you.
The business, and I'm at a radio in local markets.
You know, television and radio are much different.
If you watch television, television is constantly promoting their stars or their personalities.
The local news people are made out to be heroes and big billboards all over town.
They're constantly doing.
Radio does not do that.
Radio never has done it.
It's very rare.
It happens on occasion.
But it's almost a managerial theory that the station itself, if anything, is going to get marketed or promoted, it will be the station.
But radio people rely on the product itself to sell itself.
And that's just what I had to, I had to be accustomed to that.
And subject to that in my younger days in radio.
When I started this program in August of 1988, I let the performance speak for itself.
Now, we had people on the other side going out trying to convince radio stations to take the program, but that was not public marketing.
That was not public advertising.
And what I did do the first two years, that's when the Rush to Excellence tour was born.
I went out and, you know, 47 weekends a year, I was traveling.
As we got a new station, I would go there and do a public appearance to shore up that relationship.
But are you going to go into business?
Is that what you're thinking of doing?
Yes, I am trying to go into business.
What kind of business?
Vaguely, generally.
Financial education for teenagers.
Financial education for teenagers.
That's interesting.
Can you hang on through the break here?
Yes.
Yeah, because we have to take it now.
We're out of time.
Be right back.
Don't go away, folks.
It's Open Line Friday.
I am well-known radio racing tour, general all-round good guy Rush Limbaugh here at the prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies back to Daniel in Bakersfield.
All right, Daniel, you're a nobody and you want to market your new business, which is economic education to teenagers, did you say?
Yes.
All right.
Now, my analogy is not actually a great one for you because while I was a nobody, I mean, automatically being on the radio, that's mass media.
So I had a chance.
You know, I wasn't working in a vacuum.
I wasn't working anonymously.
I wasn't working, nobody knowing it.
I was on the radio.
People could tune it in if they did and liked it.
It worked.
So I had a built-in delivery system for what I was trying to do, which was the radio.
You don't.
Hence your question.
And first off, how far along are you on this?
Well.
Are you ready to launch it?
What I did is raising the money to launch a professional website and stuff is what I've done, is what I'm working on.
I've written a book for kids and stuff, and, you know, and so I'm hoping from...
Has the book been published?
Yes, it has.
Okay, so the book's out there.
And it's going to be a web service.
That's primarily where people are going to find you?
Yes.
Yeah.
Like the book is The Rich Kid.
And like, and I have a website, therichkid.com, that people can buy the book from.
Well, see, you have just engaged here in the most brilliant marketing strategy you could have conceived of, and I don't even know if you're aware of it.
Well, I am aware.
You know what just happened here.
Yes, I do.
All right.
So millions of people have just heard about your idea, and I will endorse the idea for you here as a nice guy.
The idea of teaching economics to kids is brilliant because they're not learning it.
That's very true.
I didn't learn it when I was younger, and kids today surely aren't learning it.
Well, we're going to assume that you know it.
Do you know what you're teaching?
Yes, I do.
How do we know that?
I mean, you can claim it, but how do we know it?
Ooh, how do you know it?
Well, you tell me where you studied.
Tell me what.
I don't want your whole resume here, but.
No, I'm.
You're just somebody who shops at Lowe's and thinks that you know economics now.
That's right.
It's not, I'm not claiming to teach people, you know, total economics, just basic, you know, financial responsibility for kids.
Well, you need to expand it.
You need to get into little economics in addition to financial responsibility.
Well, you need to get into it.
What's the name of that website again?
I didn't write it down.
Therichkid.com.
TherichKid.com.
I assume on that website they can buy your book.
Yes.
And I assume on that website they can determine what your course is and how they can access it for their kids or kids can find it themselves.
You have a MySpace page.
No, I don't have a MySpace page.
Do that.
Do that and link to your MySpace page from yourrichKid.com website.
Okay.
Now, your MySpace page, a lot of kids use these just, here's everything about me.
Please call me.
Don't do that.
You use your MySpace page as a way of telling people who you are, why you care about this and so forth.
Just give you a little double hit out there of web action.
That's very good.
I will set that up.
Right.
And then once this hits, and once this takes off, you send me the value of the commercial here.
You've gotten, let's see, whatever.
You've got about, we'll talk about this for four minutes now?
So that's 80 grand you owe me.
Okay.
Just kidding.
And that's with a little reduction on the rate card.
We have volume discounts here at the EIB network.
Anyway, so your marketing's been taken care of.
It's up to you now, pal.
That website better be good.
It better have stuff on it people want.
Here's the point to you.
You can do all the marketing in the world, but if it isn't true about your product, they're going to find out eventually, and there's no amount of marketing or PR that's going to save you.
The quality of what you do has to be predominant.
Right.
I understand that.
I want to make it clear right now.
I haven't.
All that's on the website right now is the book.
I haven't because I'm raising money to make a more professional website to market.
Okay, now we're backtracking a little bit here.
No, no.
Now, I'm not backtracking.
I'm just clarifying, you know.
All right, clarify.
You made the assumption that there was educational.
It's my fault.
Now, I'll tell you something else you're going to have to do.
Yes.
We have just crashed your server.
It may be on fire as we speak.
It may be smoking.
You're going to need additional server space.
Well, if you want to handle a load, it'll slow down as the afternoon progresses.
But we're going to link to this on my website when we update it.
Your server, you are going to have no excuse for failure here.
By midnight tonight is your window to make this work.
Will do.
All right.
And if people are having trouble getting on the website, they can also get the book on Amazon.com.
Way to go.
You don't need any marketing advice, you little snake.
Call here want marketing advice.
Ask you these questions.
No, you're actually very smart.
You've done some of the smartest marketing ever, and it costs you nothing.
Thank you very much.
You bet.
Don't expect it in the future.
We're happy to help young entrepreneurs here at the EIB network, but eventually we get our take.
Who's next on this program?
Gail in Dayton, Ohio.
You're next on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Rush.
Hey.
I want to say what an honor it is to speak with broadcast specialist, the king of AM radio, and even at this time, FM Broadcast.
Absolutely.
There's no question.
The king of radio, sir.
Yes, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
I do have a question for you, and it has a concern with the G8 Summit and President Bush.
And, you know, we're dealing with the global warming.
You know, I mean, it comes up every single day if you look at the...
Tell me about it, I know.
Yes, sir.
And it comes up all the time.
All you've got to do is look at NBC, CBS, so on and so forth.
Look, it's part of the liberal agenda.
That's why.
And it's reported the same way every time it's reported as it's fait accompli.
There's no doubt about it.
It's part of the left's political agenda.
It's part of the left's political agenda, but what do you think is President Bush's stance on that agenda?
Because it seems to me he's leaning toward this G8 summit and global warming.
And so while you and me might not agree with the global warming agenda, does President Bush, do you think?
Well, I think at this stage in the president's term and his administration, all sides are caving in on him now.
And it might be that in this, he's taking the path of least resistance.
I think you're right.
Let's listen.
Grab audio soundbite number one out there.
Nancy Pelosi got back recently from seeing global warming.
She went to Greenland and she saw some, she said.
And this morning on Capitol Hill, she had a press conference, a news conference on global warming.
It was with profound disappointment that we heard immediately upon our return to Washington that President Bush announced a climate change proposal that really was about changing the subject, but not changing the policy.
It rehashed stale ideas.
While other countries in the EU are acting globally, the president continues to want to go it alone.
The weakness of his proposal leads us to question whether he fully understands the urgency of global warming because it is not matched by the seriousness of his suggestions.
The facts are conclusive, the science is clear, and yet the president continues to be in denial.
So you see there, and one of the things, I read the stories in the drive-by media about Bush, and they're portraying this.
He took it to 180.
He's totally caved.
I don't think that's the case.
I think he's going over there, and what he's going to tell these people he's willing to do is going to disappoint Angela Merkel in Germany.
I don't think he's done a total cave on this at all.
He might have moderated his position a bit.
But Libs are not happy with this because he hasn't adopted their position on it, regardless, whatever changes he's suggesting that he might make.
Still not adopting the liberal position on this.
Nancy Pelosi, by the way, she was over in Greenland, talked about all of the destruction and all of the global warming and all the changes.
And it's not Greenland's fault, by the way.
No, no, no, it's not Greenland's fault.
It's ours.
Greenland not responsible at all for what's happening in their own country, their own continent, whatever the it's just, I can't emphasize enough, folks, this whole thing's a hoax.
It's nothing more than the latest way to push the big government liberal agenda, all it is.
In fact, she went on, let's play a couple more of these.
She also took after the NASA administrator, Michael Griffin, who made some brilliant points on NPR yesterday.
Here's what she said about him.
Just listen to the president's own NASA administrator, Dr. Michael Griffin, when he said yesterday, I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists.
I'm not sure that it's fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.
This is a very well-educated scientist.
Why would he say such a thing?
Because he is smarter than you are about this.
Why would he probably, you might heep, Ms. Pelosi, have you ever stopped to consider that Mr. Griffin might believe what he'd think as a scientist, something which you are not?
Let's listen to what Griffin said.
He was interviewed by somebody named InSkeep, I think Steve Inskeep at NPR yesterday questioned.
It's been mentioned that NASA is not spending as much money as it could to study climate change, global warming from space.
Are you concerned about global warming?
I'm aware that global warming exists.
I understand that the bulk of scientific evidence accumulated supports the claim that we've had about a one degree centigrade rise in temperature over the last century to within an accuracy of about 20%.
I'm also aware of recent findings that appear to have nailed down, pretty well nailed down the conclusion that much of that is man-made.
Whether that is a long-term concern or not, I can't say.
Here's the next question, and this is the money answer.
Well, you have any doubt that this is the problem mankind has to really wrestle with?
I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists.
I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.
To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had, and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change.
First of all, I don't think it's within the power of human beings to assure that the climate does not change.
Yes.
As millions of years of history have shown.
Yes.
And second of all, I guess I would ask which human beings, where and when, are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now, is the best climate for all other human beings.
I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
That's what President Bush ought to be saying.
What President Bush, there's a lesson here.
He's trying to moderate his position.
His position is proposing technical changes, technological changes here, which is, as far as it goes, is good.
But you can't appease leftists.
You can't appease socialists.
Look at Pelosi.
He may have as well not done anything.
Our side is never going to learn this.
They're never going to learn.
You can't appease these people.
You have to defeat them.
Whatever happened to that concept?
Started to burn me up.
You defeat these people.
You know, whether the left agenda is on science, whether it's on immigration, whether it's what you can't appease them.
You can't meet them halfway.
They don't compromise on things like it.
It's all or nothing.
And even if you give them all, they're still not happy.
So the NASA administrator, God's gift on this to us in the past two days.
Back in a sec.
I just got a note here from Roy Spencer, climatologist extraordinaire, University of Alabama, Huntsville.
He said, Rush, you can't say that warming is man-made without knowing how much is natural.
And get this.
This is a professional climatologist.
By the way, we have no idea how much warming on earth is natural.
And if you don't know how much is natural, then you can't calculate how much is man-made.
But remember, these people are not about facts.
They are about creating an illusion, almost writing a Bible, they are on this to create religious belief, scripture on global warming.
That's really where they're headed.
By the way, look at this.
Just got a news flash, ladies and gentlemen.
General Motors and Toyota bounced back from a week April showing reporting solid gains in U.S. vehicle sales for May.
Well, what did General Motors do in May that they weren't doing in April and March and February?
That's right, Snirdly.
They were advertising on the EIB.
In fact, we just played, we just had an EIB GM spot for the SRS crossover.
They made us give it up, folks.
They took it away from us.
And there were long faces here when they took it away.
We understand.
They could put too many miles on it, but they're going to come across with a new vehicle soon.
Rush start driving around.
Congratulations to General Motors.
I knew, I knew that that would be the case.
It never failed.
Well, yeah, well, I know you drive in New York.
You don't drive a New York.
You take the subway.
You take the PATH train.
You know, when General Motors starts selling PATH trains, we'll get you one.
Subway cars or what have you.
From yesterday, I didn't get to this.
We put this on the website yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to get details.
It's in the Boston Globe.
The story is that a new Franken, Wisconsin musician canned for focus on wrong organ.
Now, what do you think that's about?
A Catholic.
Well, we'll find out if it's about his flute.
A Catholic priest has removed his church's organist and choir director from her duties, saying that her sale of sex toys was not consistent with church teachings.
Lynette Servez, 50, played the organ and sung in the choir for 35 years.
Much of her work as choir director and organist was done without pay.
When the parish priest asked to meet with her, she thought it was to say thanks.
Instead, she was told to quit the sales job with a company known as Pure Romance or she would lose her position in the church.
Pure Romance, Loveland, Ohio, $60 million a year business sells spa products and sex toys at home parties attended by women.
It has 15,000 consultants.
I think we've gotten samples from this bunch over the years.
I don't remember what.
So they got fired from the church organ for dealing with sex toys, other organs.
Hey, don't forget my opening skit on the half-hour news hour.
Fox News Channel, Sunday night, 10 o'clock.
We'll see you back here on Monday, revved up and raring to go.
I can't wait.
I have to.
We'll see you then, folks.
