Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Thanks very much, and welcome to the Rush Limbaugh Program here at the EIB Network.
I am Roger Hedgecock at KOGO Radio in San Diego and taking your calls today at 1-800-282-2882.
Urging you as well to drop in on RushLimbaugh.com for all of the latest as we progress through this day of incredible news.
We will have, and there's a statement coming up from the mayor of New York, Bloomy Bloomberg, and we're going to get a little bit of that because it's possible.
And Mark Belling, I think, what did he make this call yesterday that Bloomberg was going to change and he was going to run for president?
Guy's worth $5 billion.
And if you've ever been around truly rich people, this is another category of rich people.
They, and especially those who have made it the hard way, they made it themselves.
Bloomberg is a very wealthy guy because he invented a lot of stuff that we now use, the Bloomberg news and all the financials and reporting stuff that we use, and has earned it legitimately and is now in his political phase, as he put it yesterday.
By the way, he made that announcement out here in California.
We'll have some California news in a moment.
So we'll get to Bloomberg and just what he's up to.
But I think if you've been around somebody that has made it themselves, they're in that, well, the stratosphere of rich people in terms of billionaires.
He is a guy who believes that he could solve any problem, that he could do things better than anyone else, that he could.
He has an unbounded optimism in his own ability and with some justification.
Now, the fact that he believes, however, he can get into politics and run the country as president, or for that matter, be mayor of New York, and not be ideologically, and he's denouncing ideology, getting into problem solving.
Just what was it?
I mean, I haven't paid a lot of attention in New York to what Bloomberg is attempting to impose on your lifestyle, but apparently there's been a lot of changes in things that you used to take for granted as New Yorkers because Mr. Bloomberg at least had the ideology that maybe as to lifestyle, he could improve you with his thoughts.
Yikes.
A little scary out here in California, but we'll have more of that.
There was an interesting piece.
Let me start the California news.
There was an interesting piece.
AP had it out of San Francisco.
That with the suicide death of a death row inmate, now we're talking death row.
And I think I got into this with the Paris Hilton thing last time I was on about the justice system in California.
We're not too keen on justice here.
If you kill a lot of people, basically we regard it as an opportunity for a movie of the week.
We're not too, I mean, the last guy who got a lot of justice here, and we're still trying to spring him, is Charles Manson.
So we're not into a lot of justice here.
It's just so inconvenient.
I mean, people commit crimes.
You have to be understanding.
You have to empathize with what forced them to do these kinds of things that, well, are inconvenient.
So with that in mind, let me just tell you that we almost have 600 people on death row because there is this inconvenient law that the inconvenient law is that if you egregiously kill someone, you're supposed to be executed.
Now, the public passed that law.
That's another thing we don't pay too much attention to, the public out here in California.
We vote on Prop 187 to deny illegals' benefits.
But yeah, one judge in New York, in L.A. rather, said, this is not a good idea.
Let me just say that's unconstitutional.
So we're not too big on the justice system.
We really don't want to listen too much to the public because they're weird.
And so voters don't matter too much out here.
So we've got about 600 of these people, though, on death row.
We don't want to execute them, even though the public said we should.
So it turns out now that they're committing suicide because they're in this terminal boredom thing.
Now, we gave them big screen TVs, goodness knows, sex change operations, a whole bunch of stuff like that.
And they're still bored.
I mean, where's the end of that?
So they're still bored.
So it turns out that with Tony Lee Reynolds' suicide a couple of Sundays ago at San Quentin, it's now, let's see, that suicide has replaced executions as the second leading cause of death.
We've only executed 14 people since 1978.
There's over 600 on the death row here in California.
It turns out that the second leading cause of death is now suicide.
Third is executions.
You know what first is?
Old age.
Old age is the number one killer on death row in California.
This despite the fact, and I hope you caught this, was it a week ago, that there is a study, a series of academic studies that appear to settle the once hotly debated argument as to whether or not the death penalty acts as a deterrent to murder.
Every report out now indicates that at the University of Colorado, Denver, for example, and a number of statistical studies among a dozen published papers since 2001, capital punishment does deter more murder.
The IBD, the Investors Business Daily, publishing a chart of this from 1980 to 2005 with the murder rate going down and the execution rate going up.
By the way, the murder rate has leveled off as the executions have leveled off in the face of DNA finding one or two people of the 600 who actually were innocent, and we get all excited about that.
We're not excited, apparently, about those that are guilty.
Well, the only thing that surpasses, oh, by the way, Bloomberg out in California to announce that he's no longer a Republican.
This is not news to us.
He never was.
Was Bloomberg ever a Republican?
I mean, I know he registered Republican, but good grief.
This guy is a big government.
I know better than you do about what to do with your money and your lifestyle and foie gras and smoking and whatever you put up this and that in the other orifice of your body.
I mean, the guy is insane.
It's an insane fascist.
What is the deal with all that?
I mean, he's the nicest looking guy in the world, pretty inoffensive.
What is he about?
5'1 or 5'2?
But good grief.
Is there no topic that he doesn't have an idea about how I could run my life better if I just listened to him?
The last person in the world you want to trust with the remnants of our Constitutional Republic.
Anyway, we'll hear more about Bloomberg's plans, I guess, because the media is aga.
Apparently, Agaga for a good reason, though.
We're going to get into the media a little bit today, too.
Apparently, Agaga for a very good reason, and that is that I kind of thought this would happen if we got this presidential race off too soon, that all the people being talked about, we'd become bored with them.
And no matter what their merits are, we're going to be looking for other people, because that's kind of the way we are.
We're as a national ADD here.
And so, you know, God, if I hear another word about, you know, fill in the blank, I'm going to go nuts.
So you're looking for new people.
I mean, Thompson, the flavor of the month, Bloomberg, bring back parole.
I don't know, whatever it is.
There's got to be something new because that's the way we are.
It's got to be something new.
Just when you think, though, that there's no news worth having fun with, the Vatican has now offered 10 commandments of driving.
The 10 commandments of driving.
Thou shalt not drive under the influence of alcohol.
Thou shalt respect the speed limit.
Thou shalt not consider a car an object of personal glorification or use it as a place of sin.
Now, see, that one is just going to be tough in California.
I don't know about where you are.
But that one's just going to deny us our cultural heritage.
And that's not going to happen.
Okay?
Even if Bloomberg becomes president.
That's just not going to happen here.
36-page document issued yesterday, guidelines for the pastoral care of the road.
As if there wasn't enough problems with the usual traditional concerns of the Catholic Church, including the sexual orientation of their priests and the impact on the community of elementary school students.
Good grief.
Anyway, so, but some of these are good.
Actually, some of these are good.
Yeah, this one's not going to go.
Here's the fifth commandment.
This is not going to go over in California.
Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination and an occasion of sin.
What the hell are they good for then?
Oh, excuse me, that's just a little California there.
But I'm waiting for the shoe to drop on this one, though.
I mean, yesterday we got the Ten Commandments of Rules of the Road from the Vatican.
Tomorrow it's going to be the ACLU suit to prevent them from being posted in the elementary school or in driver's ed class.
Good grief.
Anyway, I've been along with many of you, and we're going to take calls in a minute.
Oh, let me just give you a preview because coming up in the latter half of the show, Michael Chertoff, the Secretary of Homeland Security, will be with us to answer questions as to why he thinks the immigration bill is a national security plus, and I think it's a national security disaster.
I think Mohammed Atta could get one of these probationary Z visas, and so does Newt Gingrich, who's got a new TV ad out about this.
If you haven't seen that, it's available on the net.
We'll get into it with Secretary Chertoff.
His commitment is rock solid on this amnesty bill, and I want to get into why he thinks it's a good idea.
And then following Secretary Chertoff, we'll hear from Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who's written some significant critiques of the bill, by the way, that has been reintroduced in the Senate yesterday with Ted Kennedy's signature on it, just to make sure that everybody knows who the author of this amnesty bill is.
He actually signed the bill that was officially handed in to the clerk with his own signature.
And then I got a photostatic copy of it.
And here's his signature on it, which I don't think is usual.
But we'll get into that later in the program and let you sound off on that.
Now, setting all that up, I want to come back to the Duke fiasco and talk a little bit about Michael Nyphong, because now that he has been properly so drawn and quartered in the public square and his remains clapped into irons while they decay and the birds peck at the remains, to put it in 17th century terms, this is exactly what has happened to him and properly so.
What will happen to the lying sack of you-know-what who started all this?
The false witness, the dancer, if you will, who started all this?
What is her punishment for all of this?
Oh, yeah, Nyphong, yeah, you know.
I mean, you know what happened when he took that information and got it into his reelection thing by stirring up all the stuff he stirred up.
But what about where this started?
Is she going to jail?
Because she should.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh 1-800-282-2882.
Back after this.
Welcome back to the EIB Network on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Roger Hedgecock here in for Rush for today and tomorrow.
And let's see, I want to take Kevin in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, next.
Kevin, welcome to the Rush Show.
Go ahead.
Well, Roger, thank you for taking my call.
This is about Michael Bloomberg.
I'm totally against him running for president.
I moved from New York City last July.
He's in favor of the morning after Given out to school children without the parents' consent.
He's also opposed to Second Amendment.
And the only reason why he even registered as a Republican was because he knew he wouldn't beat Mark Greene in a primary in the Democratic Party Democratic Party.
That's right.
So you know.
Well, Kevin, is there anything now?
You know, the guy registers a Republican for that reason.
We know the tactics of that race.
But was there anything about his candidacy, his philosophy, his governing as mayor?
Was there a single instance in which you felt the guy was actually a Republican?
Not one.
And it's funny because New York City is actually 62% foreign-born.
And I think that just that percentage shows you that there's a large population of New Yorkers, sad to say, that aren't aware of our Constitution.
You know, so everything he did, everything he wanted to ban smoking, ban this, ban that, what you had to do to own a firearm in New York City.
And he's opposed to that.
He doesn't believe that anybody should have one.
But he feels that it's okay for him to tell you, actually not tell you, that your daughter received an abortion bill, you know, and it was up to him and the New York City Board of Education to decide that and not the parents.
So you actually moved from New York because of this?
No, not just because of that, but the writing was on the wall with New York City.
I hate to say it.
I was born and raised there, but I have three children.
There was no way in the world we were going to continue to raise our kids there.
Kevin, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it.
Rush got into this too about Bloomberg.
In fact, when the trans fat thing came up, can't have trans fats, whatever that is, in your foods and your restaurants.
Rush did a little parody that sounded something like this.
And we're back on the Rush Show.
Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush.
So a little more of Bloomberg coming up.
The $5 billion man who has plenty of ideas about how you should run your life because he knows so much better how to do that than you do.
Come on.
That's why we need him in the White House.
Apparently, that's his platform, so we'll be getting more of that coming up.
Back to Nyphong and this business at Duke University.
John Steele Gordon may have the last word on this in the Wall Street Journal op-ed piece today he wrote headed Racial Role Reversal.
He calls to mind something that happened in 1931.
And here's how he starts the column.
Imagine this.
In a southern town, a woman accuses several men of rape.
Despite the woman's limited credibility and ever-shifting story, the community and its legal establishment immediately decide the men are guilty.
Their protestations of innocence are dismissed out of hand.
Exculpatory evidence is ignored.
The Duke rape case, right?
Nope, it's the Scottsboro Boys case.
Began in 1931 in the darkest days of the Jim Crow South.
And he goes in to talk about this.
He says, nine young black men got into a fight with a group of whites March 25, 1931, while riding a freight train near Paint Rock, Alabama.
All but one of the whites forced to jump off the train.
When it reached Paint Black, the blacks were arrested, a paint rock.
Two white women dressed in boys' clothing were found on the train as well.
Unemployed mill workers, they both had worked as prostitutes.
Apparently, to avoid getting into trouble, they accused the nine black boys of brutally gang raping them.
The blacks were immediately thought to be guilty.
A mob set out to lynch them on the spot.
The National Guard had to protect them, and they were convicted.
And I believe They were executed.
Actually, sentences were overturned.
1937 for the defendants, the charges were dropped because, again, of the witnesses.
Now, again, NIFON seems to be the reversal of the Duke case, seems to be the reversal of that.
Young black woman, blah, blah, blah, blah, background, makes charges.
The white boys are immediately thought to be guilty by Al Sharpton, the ever-President Al Sharpton, and his bullhorn, and of course, Jesse Jackson, aging but still able to jump in front of any camera that's out there.
So here's the and immediately there's an assumed assumption by the guilty white professors, liberal professors at Duke University, that this group of white lacrosse players are guilty.
A complete reversal of 1931's interesting piece.
So again, I raise this issue.
When are the people who jumped to conclusions and prevented justice from being done going to be punished for that?
When is this witness, quote unquote, going to be punished for her false witness?
When is the Duke University faculty going to have a meeting at which they apologize to the nation, to these kids who were involved, to their parents, and to the entire community there for their presumption of guilt in this case?
When is there going to be real justice here?
I mean, NIFON got what he deserved, no question about that.
But this isn't over until the liberals on that campus recognize that, like the Scottsboro Boys case of 75 years ago, they presumed guilt when there wasn't any.
Where's the apology?
Back after this.
Mark Bellingham for Rush yesterday and Roger Hedgecock today.
Mark was talking about these ethanol refineries, and I was following along with that.
And I don't get that.
I've got to tell you, I'm behind the curve on understanding this one.
119 ethanol refineries in the United States as of June 1 of this year with 77 more under construction.
Not one gasoline refinery has been built since the late 1970s in this country.
119 ethanol refineries with 77 more under construction.
Hello?
My car runs on gas.
I eat corn.
I eat corn tortillas.
I eat corn syrup and everything they make.
I have corn bread.
But you know what?
I put gasoline in my car.
Now, I don't get that we're mixing the two because whereas the corn is pretty good fueling my body, it's not as good in the tank of my car as gasoline.
The BTUs coming out of a gallon of ethanol ain't anywhere near the BTUs, the British thermal unit, of gasoline.
Sorry, it doesn't work as well.
I'm with Mark.
That was a great rap yesterday.
Oh, and by the way, if you're tired of paying more than you should be, and we've been paying more than we should for gasoline for a long time, it's called the Democrat gas tax.
And the Democrats know enough about economics to know that if they strangle the oil companies, villainize the oil companies, villainize the search for oil, and limit America's independence by limiting our access to oil, that the foreign pressures will make it impossible for us to develop any more gasoline, and the price will go up.
And this is good because it'll help the planet.
I don't understand that one either, but I'm struggling here.
So let's look at the price of gas.
Because the U.S. Energy Information Administration tells us that the major companies on refining and marketing make about 10 cents a gallon.
Government, government federal tax alone is 18.4 cents a gallon.
New York, with the highest combined gas tax rate, federal, state, and local, 60 cents a gallon, 60.8 actually.
Now, if the profit is $10.20 in the marketing and refining and say it's another 20, in other words, say it's 30, 40, 50 cents, that's the gouging.
You hear the Democrats talking about how that's gouging.
We need a new tax on the excess profits of the oil companies, that this is obscene profits.
How about the obscene taxes taken in by government that's causing more of a problem than those profits are when you go to the pump?
Do they think we just don't know that, that we just aren't watching?
That we just maybe they do.
I don't know.
I don't know whether you were one of those, I was that watched the last episode of The Sopranos.
Apparently more people watched that cable series last episode than watched network TV that night.
There was a famous last scene in the diner and the famous screen went to black situation.
Well now, and I haven't quite got this either.
What is this all about?
The Clintons have done a TV, a kind of a YouTube thing, of them and the diner kind of doing a replay of Tony Soprano, Tony and Carmella, and Meadow and all the players there.
They've done a replay, except this time it's kind of a gender reversal thing.
I mean, the person looking at the songs on the jukebox is not Tony, it's, oops, Hillary.
And then Bill comes in playing Carmella and sits down and has a carrot, has a carrot stick for Crying Out Loud.
And they get into this.
Well, what is this all about?
Are you trying to get across a strong leadership because you could be a mob leader?
I don't get it.
But there is a solution to at least one of the mysteries about the Hillary Clinton campaign, and that is the theme song.
Apparently, a lot of us, Rush did, and I did on my local show.
We had little contests among our listeners as to what theme song would be the most appropriate for this presidential campaign and came up with a number of good songs.
But this one has actually been chosen.
Apparently, they outsourced this Democratic campaign for president of Hillary Clinton's.
They outsourced to a Canadian The theme of their campaign, which I, and tell me what this means, too.
Here's the theme song.
High above the mountains, far across the sea.
I can hear voice.
What?
What does this have to do with anything?
Anyway, that's the Celine Dean song.
What is it, you and I, or whatever it is, you and I, of far across the sea, I can hear your voice calling.
What does that have to do with anything?
And what is the story with replaying the soprano?
Have they just, have they just gone wacko?
I mean, have they just gone crazy?
They've certainly gone wacko politically.
I don't know you've seen this stuff coming out, but ABC News is even reporting that all these Democratic candidates for president are shifting dramatically to the left.
Now, if the Republican candidates began to appear only in very right-wing, evangelical, neocon contexts and began going through the Reagan playbook, you know what would happen in the drive-by media.
They would simply be aghast that these Republicans who were sane when they were in the Senate and the State House, wherever they came from, that they're now just pandering to the most extreme elements of the GOP coalition.
You know, they'd go on and on.
They'd go on and on.
Well, where is the notice that there's been a couple of, as I say, a couple of articles, but they've been articles that have been more or less, well, this is what they have to do.
The Democratic Party is run by people who are much, much more left than the center of the country.
And so they, to get through the primaries, these folks have to pander to the left.
Pander isn't the word for it.
I mean, the environmentalists said jump, and Obama said how high, abandoned coal gasification, for instance, which he'd been urging for energy independence.
Oh, no, coal, coal, no, I didn't mean to say coal.
And Hillary herself, I voted for what?
I'm sure I was absent that day getting my nails done.
The war, are you kidding?
And she gets booed again at these leftist Take Back America conference, as she was last year for her initial vote on the war, which, by the way, revealed more than I think the left wants to give credit to.
It is now a fact, an admitted fact, that Hillary Clinton, as a senator, voting on the war resolution, did not read the 95-page intelligence report made available to members of the Senate before that vote supporting the position of the administration on the reasons to go to war.
I relied on a staffer.
She summarized it for me.
I'm a busy senator.
Huh?
Because now what's important about that fact, it's an old fact, but what's important about it is that today she is saying to these folks, Take Back America, well, Bush lied to me.
If you didn't read the briefing paper from the administration, how did Bush lie to you?
Because it's now clear that Hillary Clinton, as with most things, Hillary and Bill, made a calculation about what would benefit her the most when she made her vote.
It, as usual, had nothing to do with the national interest, with patriotism, with whether or not Bush was telling the truth.
It had nothing to do with any of those things.
It had to do with what is good for me.
And once you understand that, you understand everything about Hillary Clinton.
I'm Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush Limbaugh and taking your calls at 1-800-282-2882.
Back after this.
Welcome back to the EIB Network on the Rush Limbaugh Program.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, filling in for Rush Today and tomorrow.
Good news out of Iraq.
I know this will be tough for everybody in the drive-by media just grinding their teeth here, but now it turns out, dateline Baghdad, USA Today reporting more than 10 Iraqi tribes in the outskirts of Baghdad, these are Sunni tribes, have reached agreements with the United States and with Iraqi forces for the first time to oppose al-Qaeda.
In other words, these groups have decided that al-Qaeda is going to lose.
They're going to side with the winner.
The winner is going to be the U.S.-backed Iraqi army.
And this, by the way, follows the pattern in Sunni-dominated Anbar province, that's in the western Iraq, where U.S. commanders have a bunch of deals there with the tribes, about 100 tribes in the greater Baghdad area.
And now these tribes are working with us, rooting out the foreign fighters.
They even call them that.
The foreign fighters who are we're here in a telephone exchange in case you're hearing that in the background.
We do that because we have to double as a phone exchange in order to make enough money to be on the air.
This is such great news.
And here's what's happening immediately as a result of this.
The cooperation with the Sunnis coming in now and supporting the Iraqi and U.S. troops is that what we're getting is a pinpoint of the bomb-making factories.
And this is crucial to eliminating the Iran-supplied war material.
Is there any place in the Middle East where the Iranians are not at the root of the violence?
Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel.
They're supporting Hamas.
They're supporting Hezbollah.
They're supporting through Syria all of this.
This is a, you know, this is a situation.
Lieberman is right about this.
We're going to have to confront at some point in time.
But in the meantime, our troops, 10,000 in the new surge, by the way, in this province to the east of north and east of Baghdad, are making great, great headway.
All right, let's take a call.
Dick in Boise, Idaho, next on the Rush program.
Dick, welcome.
Well, well, thanks, Roger.
I appreciate talking to you.
Go ahead.
I was calling about the NYFON case and the culpability of Duke University.
I mean, here you have this esteemed, allegedly learned university that jumped so fast on the politically correct bandwagon, ruined at least three lives, and fired the coach without really any cause.
Where is their liability in this?
I mean, they should be bled dry.
Well, and they may well be.
Who knows what the lawsuits will be following from this?
But what I want to do is focus on the liberals because the Scottsboro Boys case was liberal lore for 50 years.
How a racist society in the South could assume the guilt without questioning the witness and the credibility of the witness at all and so forth and so on.
And yet the nearly identical facts with reverse race roles and the entire liberal establishment is where?
Completely silent.
But they weren't silent at the beginning.
I mean, they were.
No, they're on the other side.
That's what I'm saying.
Where are they when their racism has been exposed?
Their assumption of guilt for these white kids, their hypocrisy of accepting at face value the testimony of a questionable witness.
So, yeah, Dick, I'm even recognized their hypocrisy.
This is what I was trying to point out today.
This is why this show exists, to point these things out.
The liberals, after all these years of the Scottsboro Boys situation, are, well, thanks for the call, Dick.
They're just naked here on this subject.
Where are they on making this witness own up and be accountable for the lies, the shifting stories, if you will?
Where are they on the lynch mob of academia at Duke University, the faculty that voted immediately assuming guilt of these white lacrosse players?
Where is Sharpton and Jackson today when it turns out that the facts are 180 degrees from where they assumed them to be when they descended on Duke University in their righteous wrath?
Hello?
Paul and the Bronx, next on the Rush Show.
Hi.
Good afternoon, sir.
I'm a retired NYPD detective, and I've witnessed firsthand the damage that out-of-control DAs like NYFON can do because they're immune from prosecution.
If you check out JusticeForRichie.org, you'll see where the Westchester County New York DA, Janine Piero, sent an innocent New York City cop to prison for saving his father's life from a black batwielding career criminal in order to get reelected back in 1997.
I please advise your listeners to check out justiceforichie.org.
I appreciate it, Paul.
And I, you know, in my own way, have been subject to a politically motivated district attorney in my political career.
I'm fully familiar with the psychology of what you're talking about.
Mine didn't involve race, obviously.
But it was, well, not obviously to all of you, but it was obvious to me.
Race was not an issue.
But the political motivation was there.
And it is the most frightening thing you can imagine to have a prosecutor with unlimited power to put you in jail and ruin your life after you for reasons that have nothing to do with justice and everything to do with that person's reelection.
Paul, thanks for the call.
All right.
And for those of you who are keeping track of the plummeting poll numbers of our president, they are now the worst since Jimmy Carter.
They're the worst since Truman before him.
Only history will tell us whether or not we'll remember Bush as a Truman or as a Carter, but we'll leave that for history.
Today, I want you to know something that the drive-by media does not want you to know.
The Gallup Poll is now reporting that the congressional job approval rating has dipped below the president's.
The congressional job approval rating, according to the Gallup Poll, is 24%.
The Democrats were at 37% in February.
Not very high to start with, by the way.
They continually say that Bush is irrelevant and a lay the deadest of lame ducks and blah, blah, blah.
I hear all this stuff on the talking head shows.
And yet, his approval rating is higher than Reed, Pelosi, and company.
Did you see that in the Drive-By media?
I don't think so.
I'm Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh, back with more.
Stay with us after this.
Welcome back to the EIB Network on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Linda in New York City.
I'm going to squeeze you in.
I've got about a minute.
Go ahead.
Okay, I want to rant against Bloomberg.
I live in New York.
If you want a nanny-in-chief, this is your man.
He was quoted in Vanity Fair, the mayor of New York, as saying that secondhand smoke kills more people than September 11th did when they just caught the guys trying to bomb JFK.
He said New Yorkers shouldn't bother their pretty heads about that.
They should worry about eating better and quitting smoking.
I would also, if I'm in a hurry here, say that Huckabee is cut from the same stripe.
He's also a born-again healthist.
Yeah, I know, because he used to be about 400 pounds, and now he's, you know, 120.
So he's on a crusade for all the rest of us.
Hey, Linda, thanks for the call.
I got to go, and we're going to come back after the top of the hour with some immigration stuff.
Chertoff in the next Homeland Security Secretary in the next hour, and also Jeff Sessions, the senator from Alabama, telling the truth about this immigration bill.
