	Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program here at the EIB Network.
	Roger Hedgecock In for Rush, rush back on Monday, of course.
	You may know and have been following, and case not you need to know, about the Homeland Security bill, providing for the Homeland Security Department and all of its needs through the coming fiscal year,
	wending its way through Congress in the House, it picked up an amendment by Congressman Pete King that would have provided protection from being sued if you are reporting suspicious behavior.
	You remember the uh six flying Imams who uh praised bin Laden, uh kind of mimicked the 9-11 behavior, all went to the bathroom at the same time, all this stuff on the airplane.
	People in the airplane got a little concerned.
	They reported the behavior.
	Uh the Imams were asked to leave the plane.
	It was all a staged deal.
	They've had a big press conference, now they have a big lawsuit.
	They're actually suing the people on the plane who complained about their behavior after the government asked people to report suspicious behavior.
	So Congressman King puts in this amendment saying uh there should be immunity from any liability, any claim of liability.
	It should be immunity for anybody who's reporting suspicious behavior.
	It's the behavior we want to get after.
	It's nothing to do with racism or anything else, the Imams, of course, claiming.
	Uh, this got to the United States Senate, uh, the most despised public agency in the United States at this moment.
	Uh and uh according to the New York Times, by the way, this morning's article about Harry Reid is just phenomenal reading.
	The Senate today apparently stripped out the King Amendment, the John Doe Amendment, they call it, yesterday.
	Uh it fell three votes short of the necessary 60 votes to close the uh uh debate and to include it in the Homeland Security.
	Let me just go through some names.
	Uh Barack Obama was not there, did not vote.
	Sam Brownback was not there and did not vote.
	Diane Feinstein was not there and did not vote.
	Now she's not even running for president, nor uh well, probably wasn't there because there wasn't a contract uh up for one of the companies owned by her husband.
	Um all of the Republicans voted for the amendment, except Mr. Brownback, uh, who was not there.
	Hillary Clinton did vote for it.
	A lot of Democrats did, God bless them.
	Uh uh Lieberman, Landru, Nelson, Schumer, Conrad, Dorgan.
	Uh 39 Democrats uh said no.
	Uh the here's the pressure to kill this bill.
	And ladies and gentlemen, this cancer on our body politic needs to be cut out soon uh because it's it's becoming intolerable in so many ways now that it's becoming public knowledge.
	The trial lawyers wanted to kill this bill because of course they make their living suing.
	They don't care who they are suing, they don't care who they're suing for, they sue.
	And they have a lot of money, and they've contributed a lot of money to politicians, therefore they have a lot of clout, therefore suing has become a part of uh daily life of too many Americans.
	Trial lawyers.
	You know what their fear was?
	They actually said this.
	That this measure would set the precedent for tort reform.
	It would give tort reform some mo uh momentum.
	We can't have tort reform.
	We can't have a reasonable uh restriction on our ability to just sue anybody we want to under any circumstances in any way, shape, or form, on behalf of anybody we want who has money.
	We can't be restricted.
	We're trial lawyers.
	Unbelievable.
	And of course, of course, this this is predictable as can be opposed by the ACLU.
	And opposed by the Council on American Islamic relations care.
	So, uh ladies and gentlemen, it's uh gone.
	We are now looking, however, since the King Amendment is in the House version of this Homeland Security Bill.
	It is not in the Senate version.
	They therefore have to go to a committee composed of senators and members of the House to thrash out the differences to try to come up with a bill that will pass both houses.
	This is the way the legislative process works.
	So if you are interested in this, If you would like to see an America in which the front line of defense against terrorism is, well, us, without fear of being sued, then you've got to get to your local congressman and senator to make sure that uh they know that uh the next time the flying Imams uh happen, we don't have passengers going, gee, I don't know whether I want to get involved.
	I certainly don't want to get sued.
	No, I'd rather crash and be killed uh into the Pentagon than uh be sued.
	So uh we're not going to put that inhibition uh on the American people.
	There's got to be an immunity from liability from this nonsense of these terrorists uh manipulating our system and uh the trial lawyers of their willing accomplices.
	So the King Amendment, uh ladies and gentlemen, if you will.
	It seems to me too often, and Mike, I think you have this.
	It seems to me too often.
	We take up the theme uh in the drive-by media that if only we talked to the terrorists, everything would be all right.
	If only we just talked to the terrorists.
	Here's a little parody Rush put together on this theme a while back.
	All right.
	We're back.
	Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh, Rush back on uh Monday.
	Uh update now on the Hadith Marines uh situation.
	Uh you will recall, particularly if you are a reader of Time Magazine, that uh Time magazine had uh uh a uh uh Mr. uh uh McGurk of Time Magazine,
	who then they had to apologize uh later on, uh, had relied on uh terrorists uh in uh Iraq, people who were associated with the insurgency and their video tape to make the allegation that Marines had slaughtered civilians in this town of Hadith.
	It uh this massacre, and that's the way they they titled it in the Time Report, was a hoax, ladies and gentlemen.
	The video was taken and selectively edited by the insurgents to make it appear that what the Marines were doing were slaughtering innocent civilians, men, women, and children.
	Marines have combat Marines have been taken out of combat and put on trial, in some cases for their lives, as a result of this hoax.
	We continue to get from the uh drive-bys the idea that, for example, as this white truck drives up to this site of this ambush, and and it and the drive-bys admit that the Marines were ambushed, there was an IED explosion, a Marine died, there was uh AK-47 fire from the village huts nearby.
	There was a response by the Marines, all of that is admitted.
	This white truck comes up, four guys in it, uh young men, um uh Iraqis, and uh and they're shot and killed after they don't stop and so forth.
	So the out of all of this and the civilians who died, well, the civilians who died in those houses, it turns out, were human shields.
	Some of them weren't civilians, they were in fact insurgents.
	The Marines conducted themselves, as they must in this atmosphere, with as much uh circumspection as possible when you're under fire and you're returning fire, and you're going house to house, door to door, room to room in situations where you could be killed instantly, and many have been, as we know, because every single one of them is on the front page of every paper in the country.
	So we know that.
	They know it too.
	They take precautions, they throw grenades, they shoot people who are making threatening gestures.
	This is a, you know, this is what the war is.
	Similar to the Bush administration persecution of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compion, the prosecution of these Marines is an unforgivable step in the pursuit of this war.
	The border patrol agents shot an illegal alien drug smuggler, his van full of marijuana nine 790 pounds was found, and they are in jail, and he's free, and he's suing the U.S. government.
	You and I wants millions of dollars.
	That's the Bush administration on the border.
	The Bush administration and the Marine com uh commanders, with regard to this Hadith situation, this is a disgrace.
	These charges must be dropped.
	These Marines are heroes.
	These Marines are our combat heroes serving this country and serving the Iraqis, rooting out this insurgency and paving the way for a peaceful Iraq that will be a partner with us instead of a breeding ground of more terrorism.
	Ladies and gentlemen, it's really up to you.
	And it's up to the Marine commanders and the and the commandant of the Marines and all these people up the line of command who want to be politically correct, who get this political pressure.
	No.
	Your job, since you're sitting at a big fat desk, and you're not out there in the heat, and you're not out there being fired on.
	Your job is to protect those who are.
	That's my take.
	What's yours?
	1-800-282-2882.
	I'm Roger Hedge back after this.
	See, this Hadith thing was actually the beginning of another page of the playbook from Vietnam, the uh Me Lai Massacre playbook, in which the troops would come home labeled baby killers.
	The Democrats have been wanting to do this now all along and have been attempting to uh seize upon every single circumstance they can in order to and them and the military and the Bush administration's unfortunately playing right into their hands to uh be able to put this label on our troops as they did to returning troops from Vietnam.
	Uh in fact, uh our old friend, John Merthit, Democrat Pennsylvania, jumped the gun on this, and when the chargers were trumpeted in Time magazine, charges which Time magazine later had to retract and apologize for.
	The uh John Mirtha jumped on and uh and did call them uh killers.
	Uh Mr. Murtha has not yet apologized.
	And he should.
	And if he hasn't embarrassed himself enough already on this subject, I'm reading roll call uh about roll call magazine about this is what, June 25.
	About the earmarks.
	Mertha is the king of earmarks.
	Here's their quote.
	I'm I mean this is from roll call, uh June 25.
	Quote, Mirtha has obtained millions of dollars in earmarks for firms in his district, many of them clients of PMA and KSA, both run by former Mirtha staff.
	KSA employed Mirtha's brother, Kit Mirtha.
	But in many cases, the money is for startups that essentially would not be in business were it not for Mirtha's largesse.
	Some of the firms also are simply storefront offices of companies that do most of their work elsewhere.
	But, says roll call, there's more to the story than even that.
	KSA's client list consists largely of small businesses that are either based in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, or have opened offices in Johnstown, plus a significant smattering of companies that no longer exist or may never have existed at all.
	Earmarks of your money are being put into spending bills by Mr. Murtha for companies that do not exist.
	I'm Roger Hedgecock, in for Rush 1800-28282-2882.
	Uh, this uh the uh extra credit for the day.
	If you can identify the source of this quote.
	Hint it is not a modern source.
	Quote.
	The Democratic Party is united in but one thing, and that is in getting control of the government in all its branches.
	Unquote.
	Let's go to Chuck and Marietta, Georgia next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
	Hi, Chuck.
	Yeah, hi, Roger.
	Yeah.
	Go ahead.
	Uh God bless you for telling the truth uh to the American people.
	It's so much appreciated.
	Thank you.
	Um I just I just don't understand the uh the rancor over why we can't disclose uh the possibility of a threat that we see uh here in the United States.
	There is already in place, and I'm a member of this, it's called the National Highway Watch Program, uh under the auspices of the uh Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration, the American Trucking Association, uh, has a certifiable program that in fact I took this online and received some hard copy uh materials to recognize uh potential terrorist threats on the on the highways,
	bridges, uh possibly in the warehouse area, docks and things like that, to to be alert, and then how to report these to a national uh national hotline.
	That's a that's correct.
	That's already in place.
	And I I think that uh they're just not uh uh paying attention to it.
	They don't want people to know this, and uh it it's all too simple, all too patriotic that we participate in such a program.
	Well, and the Bush administration has moved forward on all those kinds of programs.
	That it's absolutely correct.
	They've been training local law enforcement.
	This has been the theme all the way along to encourage people to report suspicious behavior.
	This is uh the signs up in various uh bus stations, train stations, uh airports, and so forth to that effect.
	Uh and and now comes Congress saying, yeah, but you know, uh you could be sued and and lawyers give us a lot of money, so uh you're just gonna have to roll with it.
	Well, I don't I don't subscribe to that.
	I'm not a trucker.
	I happen to uh for my work, I happen to travel all all over the Southeast, and I keep my card in front of me all at all times in case I see a hazard where I could help uh or report something suspicious.
	Thank God I haven't had to do that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I absolutely agree with that.
	Chuck, thanks uh for the call.
	Um we have um let's get one more call in here.
	Harry in Rockville, Maryland.
	Harry, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
	Hi.
	Good morning.
	Good afternoon, I should say.
	Go ahead.
	Uh I flew out of Dallas Airport on September 11th, 2001.
	I got a 730 A.m. flight going to Atlanta, and I got there.
	Uh there were three guys on the midfield shuttle with me that I am very suspicious were three of the five hijackers that took the American Airlines plane into the Pentagon.
	And I stood there once I got off the shuttle, thought thinking to myself for thirty minutes or so, should I go say something?
	I didn't.
	And with the situation as it was that day at that time, I could have probably been, you know, sued for harassment because nothing had happened yet.
	That's exactly right.
	What a great what a great call.
	So and in fact, Harry, I I I'm sorry, I think I hear in your voice uh a little bit of regret that you didn't say something.
	I'm sleeping well.
	Uh I spent twelve years working for the government, and uh understand what the situation is about saying things and not saying things.
	Uh but uh yeah, I would have liked to say something.
	Yeah looking back on it.
	Given what happened.
	Yeah.
	Given what happened.
	I end up coming back to my grave puppy the next day.
	Yeah.
	Boy.
	And and look, uh coming back to what we came back to, the world upside down.
	Well, all right, Harry, thanks uh for the call.
	Uh look, this is exactly right, ladies and gentlemen.
	I mean, common sense is, and Congressman King has this exactly right, common sense is that we rely on ourselves as the first line of defense against terrorists infiltrating and doing the damage we know they want to do.
	That is common sense.
	It's the Bush administration policy.
	It's been implemented in a thousand different ways uh throughout uh our society and uh and generally in the general public as well.
	We know it to be the case.
	Do not hesitate if you see behavior that reminds you of the terrorist uh incidents that you've been reading about and hearing about, uh then do not hesitate to report it.
	The the Congress and the Democrats that control that Congress, however, want you to be liable to a claim that uh you owe uh the Imam some money because uh you you you you you just shouldn't have have done that.
	And that's what we've got to get in that homeland security bill is an immunity from any kind of claim of liability so that we can go forward and defend ourselves.
	The ACLU and the Democrats, the trial lawyers don't want you to have that immunity.
	Now you know what side you're on.
	Roger Hedgecock in for Rush, back after this.
	Welcome back uh to the Rush Limbaugh program here on the EIB network.
	Roger Hedgecock in for uh Rush and all the information, of course, uh at Rush Limbaugh.com.
	Your calls at 1800-282-2882.
	Now you know uh let me do a couple of things on the presidential race.
	You know that there's been a great deal of uh silly comment, I I think, personal opinion, about uh, you know, is uh Hillary campaigning too much like a man.
	Uh I can't even get in.
	These discussions on left versus left.
	I'm kind of left out.
	I I don't understand where the where they're even coming from.
	Um but I do understand something about Hillary Clinton, whom I I I have met, and I have watched uh in person as well as obviously uh from afar.
	Uh this from the Washington Post dot com uh headline, Hillary Clinton's tentative dip into new neckline territory.
	Now, off as off putting a word picture as this might be, let me plunge fearlessly into this story.
	Quote, there was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN 2.
	It belonged to Senator Hillary Clinton.
	She was talking on the Senate floor about the burdensome cost of higher education.
	She was wearing a rose-colored blazer over a black top.
	The neckline sat low on her chest and had a subtle V shape.
	The cleavage registered after only a quick glance.
	No scrunch face scrutiny was necessary.
	There wasn't an unseemly amount of cleavage showing, but there it was, undeniable.
	Now, again, this is a Washington Post.
	This is a woman writer.
	The uh well, let me just do the second paragraph, then we'll get into what this means, because it's hilarious.
	It was startling, she writes, to see that small acknowledgement of sexuality and femininity peaking out of the conservative, aesthetically speaking, environment of Congress.
	After all, it wasn't until the early nineties that women were even allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor.
	It was even more surprising to note that it was coming from Clinton, someone who has been so publicly ambivalent about style image and the burdens of both.
	This, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, uh uh Robin uh given uh Washington Post staff writer, you so missed this uh point.
	Over the last couple of days, there's been this rising uh, you know, weapon being used against Hillary Clinton by uh left of her uh about uh her being uh too much like a man, not sensitive enough, not uh running like a woman, uh is she really the woman candidate?
	This has been coming, by the way, from some of the wives of the other Democratic uh nominee hopefuls, and uh uh Mrs. Edwards and so forth.
	So this is uh uh uh Hillary Clinton's obvious response to them.
	I am a woman.
	I am undeniably a woman.
	So don't even go there.
	So I again I know this is left versus left, and so the rest of us are sitting around and scratching our heads going, what?
	But that is the message.
	That is the level this campaign on the left is uh is on.
	It is all about image.
	Hillary Clinton's not publicly ambivalent about style image and the burdens of both.
	Those things are manipulated on a daily basis because it is much of what is she has going for her.
	So yesterday it was necessary to show cleavage.
	By the way, speaking of Mrs. Edwards, uh she has come out uh swinging, as we know on a couple of different things, and her husband as well.
	Now a new theme for the Democrats in their race uh for the White House, uh, and that is uh poverty.
	Poverty is their new theme.
	Uh it's a it's a theme that I think is going to Mr. Edwards, and again, he's a trial lawyer, so uh having been trained to argue all sides of the issue with equal intensity and conviction uh as a lawyer, and I am a recovering lawyer.
	I went through that process myself.
	I understand the process.
	I know what I know what he is capable of doing.
	I so every time I I listen to him, I know perfectly well that he could take the opposite side and be just as sincere and earnest as he is saying what he's saying.
	But the other day, I guess this is uh again, Rush just nails these.
	Uh here's a here's a parody of Mr. Edwards and the poverty tour.
	And we're back.
	I have a I have a hard time you know, as much as I had a hard time on the on the cleavage discussion, I have a harder time understanding s again, because I come at these things with logic and reason and a conservative point of view, limited government, uh, the constitution and all of that.
	Sometimes the debates among the uh Democrat candidates for president get a little weird.
	For example, a couple of months ago, it was uh Barack Obama who was urging the United States to get involved in stopping the slaughter in Darfur.
	In Darfur, where the uh Arab uh speaking uh the uh uh Muslim Arab-speaking Muslim government is uh killing uh non-Arab speaking Muslims.
	Uh and O'Brack Obama felt we ought to intervene there, if anywhere, that this was a thing the United Nations, we had to support getting in there, helping, Saving.
	Today in New Hampshire.
	Today, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, I'm quoting now from uh the Associated Press account, said Thursday, the United States cannot, I guess this is yesterday when he said it.
	Today's the report.
	The United States cannot, he said, use its military to solve humanitarian problems, and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn't a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.
	This is a preemptive strike against people like me, obviously pointing out if you abandon along with, by the way, the Baghdad Bureau chief of the New York Times, Mr. Burns, who pointed out on Charlie Rose's program, if we get out of there, there is an inevitable bloodbath that will follow.
	Much as a bloodbath of monumental proportions, millions of people died after we abruptly left and abandoned Southeast Asia.
	Barack Obama response to that is preventing a genocide is not a good enough reason.
	Preventing a genocide is not a good enough reason.
	The um and he turns it around.
	He turns it around on this argument about Darfur.
	He uses the Congo, but it's the same argument.
	He says, and this is a quote Look, if that's the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument, you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now, where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife, which we haven't done.
	We would be deploying unilaterally and occupying the Sudan, which we haven't done.
	Those of us who care about Darfur don't think it would be a good idea.
	So I think uh Barack Obama perfectly exemplifies the left.
	What the hell was Cosa called?
	Perfectly exemplify the left.
	That in this case they're willing to accept a genocide to defeat George Bush.
	Bill Clinton had a different idea.
	And I wonder if anybody's going to ask Barack Obama.
	He never has had a tough question.
	He's never had a tough question.
	But today, if I were asking him, if I were in New Hampshire, following him around, can I just drop to my knees in gratitude that that's not my role today?
	Uh I'm here in San Diego and uh I'm happy and I'm filling in for rush, and this is a great place to be.
	Um, if I were, would I ask him the question?
	If you were Bill Clinton back in Kosovo, would you have intervened there to stop a genocide?
	Because that's what he did.
	Was it worth it then?
	Did you support it then?
	Oh, and by the way, as long as we're on a tough questions, when you were a Muslim and now you're a Christian, do you know that in Muslim nations converting to Christianity is uh a death sentence?
	Are you afraid you're going to be assassinated for becoming a Christian?
	Or was that a fake?
	So was that a head fake?
	So in other words, those are the kind of tough questions I would be asking, were I tramping around in New Hampshire and I'd probably be grouchy enough to ask them.
	Here's Joseph in San Antonio next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
	Hi, Joseph.
	Hi, Roger.
	You got to get out of my head.
	It's like you're reading my mind today.
	I am, I am, Joseph.
	Why is it during these debates they don't ask the Democrats uh, for instance, the uh plank of the platform should be uh we have this exit strategy to get out.
	Ask them point blank, what is your detailed exit strategy, and then what happens afterward?
	Because if you're proud of that, that's that should be the basis for people voting for you in, if that's what the public wants, and then give us the detail instead of Hillary saying, you know, uh this should be wrapped up before you know the next president takes over, because she doesn't want to deal with it.
	That's exactly right, and she wants to label the defeat in Iraq, uh Bush's defeat.
	Who lost Iraq?
	Yeah.
	You can see that one coming from a mile away.
	But not only that, Roger, even if it is still going, and and heaven forbid she ever gets in, but you know, it's a likely possibility.
	Uh and she does, she's still gonna blame Bush.
	She can't leave the area.
	No nobody can.
	And that what they'll do is they'll just say, well, you know, it was handed to us, and it's a lot more difficult than we than we thought.
	Uh we have to stay there, and then that spin's going to be we still have to clean up what George Bush started, so no matter What happens, they're gonna still try to wash their hands off of something.
	And the antidote, I'll tell you what, Joseph, the antidote to that is, and this has been my advice all the way along, there is no substitute for victory sooner rather than later.
	Get it get her done, as we uh say in some circles.
	I'm Roger Hitchcock, uh in for Rush Limbaugh back after this.
	You're listening to the EIB network, the Rush Limbaugh program.
	I'm Roger Hitchcock, Infor Rush Today, rush back on Monday, of course, all the information at Rush Limbaugh.com.
	This in from Jersey City.
	A Jersey City woman in the flight path of uh the Newark airport made a shocking discovery.
	There's going to be more on this story.
	Uh on her lawn this morning, she noticed a six-foot or so uh metal pipe, which on closer examination turned out to be a military rocket launcher lying on the grass in front of her house.
	Niranjana Bessai leaving her house uh on Nelson Street to go to work just after eight this morning.
	She spotted this thing on her front lawn.
	I went over and read it.
	It said missile.
	There was little word missile on it.
	She immediately called police.
	It's uh of the uh type of this device, the type used to shoot shoulder-fired rockets capable of taking down an aircraft, this in the flight path of the Newark airport.
	Now I'm glad uh to say that Niranjana Basai called police.
	She should know as of today.
	Congress is not willing to have her call immunized from potential liability and lawsuit by the trial lawyers of this country.
	This is what we're talking about.
	This King amendment has got to go into this Homeland Security bill.
	And uh I would think that these and hundreds of other examples of alert citizens turning this kind of thing in would be enough to uh secure the votes.
	But it may be, as it typically is with the Democratic Party, that the trial lawyers, the ACLU and CARE are more powerful than the people.
	Gloria in Corona Hills, California next.
	Gloria, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
	Thanks, Roger.
	Uh I think the people of our country had better wake up.
	The government is hog tying us.
	We don't have enough border patrol, we have all volunteer army military, and yet we expect them to do a job for us, and then we accuse them and don't back them up.
	We accuse them of slaughtering people.
	The border patrol to be incarcerated for shooting a drug smuggler is completely ludicrous.
	I just don't understand it.
	You know, the funniest thing about that, when uh Diane Feinstein, Senator Feinstein was chairing that committee hearing earlier in the week when that testimony came out, and uh she heard the story about the drug smuggler being shot and uh and the and the border patrol agents put in jail, and she actually said at the hearing, gee, no wonder we have so much drugs uh in this country.
	No kidding.
	How do they expect our military to fight back?
	We're fighting a war like we've never fought before against people who are thousands of years living in the past.
	They stick their little children out there to be slaughtered, blown up by bombs.
	What kind of thinking are we dealing with here?
	Our government is just not backing up our citizens, and we're gonna lose our way of life.
	We can't have people crossing the border and then ending up uh giving them all kinds of money because we're trying to keep them out.
	What happens to our country if these people overrun us?
	If we allow Imans on an airplane to pray to Allah and uh Osama bin Laden.
	I mean, that's ridiculous.
	The citizens better wake up and wake up our government.
	They've got to start to think in a different direction.
	Gloria, amen.
	Uh, the voice as far as I'm concerned of common sense reason and the majority of the American people, and I appreciate your call.
	1-800-282-2882.
	Now it gets downright weird in this democratic uh uh pantheon of potential White House occupants driving for the presidential nomination in the Democrat Party.
	Consider former Alaska Governor Mike Gravel.
	Is it Gravel?
	Gravel?
	I don't even know how to pronounce this guy's name.
	That's how it won't matter soon, okay.
	So it doesn't.
	But here is here is his he actually has an ad, and he can only afford YouTube, you know, so he has an ad on YouTube.
	In one of his ads, he appears in front of a pond.
	He stares at the camera for about a minute, saying nothing, just squinting.
	Then he picks up a rock and throws it into the pond.
	Then he slowly walks away.
	That's the ad.
	In another ad, he gathers firewood.
	And then for about seven minutes, we simply watch the fire he started burning.
	Now that, you know, to me, vaults this guy into the top ranks for a completely irrational Democratic candidate.
	Vote Mike Gravel.
