Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
You know, I've got the television on in here, and I haven't been paying attention to the press conference that the owner of the mine in Utah is conducting right now, but he's got a note about it.
So you're watching it.
I said, no, I got things going on.
It's close to showtime.
Apparently, this guy has unloaded on the media.
He is naming reporters by name and calling them out for bad reporting.
He attacked the global warming bills, the energy bills out there.
He made it impossible for poorer people to buy their energy.
Also hit Fox for bad reporting out there, too.
Apparently, the guy's unloading.
And I know Cookie is rolling on this.
Cookie, review the Mine Owner Press Conference.
See if there's anything in there that we'd like to hear.
Greetings, folks.
Great to have you.
Already Tuesday here on the fastest week in media.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone.
And our phone number is 800-282-2882.
Well, try this headline.
Macho Men Not So Good for Long Lasting Love Study.
Forget the square jaw, forget the rugged complexion, the tough guy macho attitude.
What women really want is a man with full lips and feminine features.
This, according to a British study published on Wednesday, the findings add to previous research about masculinity and offer further insight into what people look for in others when choosing potential partners, said evolutionary psychologist Linda Boothroyd.
I just love the name of these.
I've got a story in the stack here.
Some woman's been studying genetically altering the sex preferences of female mice, and her name is Breed Love.
I love the names of some of these people.
Anyway, if macho men are not so good for long-lasting love, according to a study, then this is great news for the Brett Girl.
This is fabulous news for John Edwards ladies, made to order.
So here's our latest tune dedicated to him coming up now.
I know you people want to hear me in the opening monologue of the program, but that just too good.
It just fit with the story that macho guys are not good for long-lasting love.
Now it's the UK.
And no time to panic here, folks.
We know that Europe's screwed up anyway.
But anyway, by the way, speaking of women, WPMS is dead, flushed the feminist talk network, Greenstone Radio.
They're folding up.
They're folding up shop.
Well, you're Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem started this thing.
Their period's over.
Yeah, and a major blow to its high-profile backers, including Gloria Steinem, Rosie O'Donnell, Jane Fonda, and others.
Feminist talk radio network, Greenstone Media, is about to shut down, according to several trade magazine reports.
Despite its famous investors, ready access to cash, and relatively high profile in the industry, Greenstone, WPMS, struggled to gain WNAG.
That was their affiliate.
WPMS, WNAG, W-F-E-M.
I think it's three stations out there.
What is this?
What are you, Libs, going to learn that commercial enterprises do not even think of funding?
Predicted this.
In fact, let's go back to the audio soundbites.
This got started.
It was September 14th of 2006.
And the former PMS NBC Infobabe Rita Cosby was talking to Jane Fonda.
She was on to promote the WPMS, WNAG, WFEM, Women Talk Radio Network.
And Rita Cosby.
So what do you specifically think about Rush Limbaugh, Ms. Fonda?
You've got to be kidding.
They make me feel worried about the future for my grandchildren.
This is not, these are not voices that I want to invite into my brain.
I feel like they're toxic to myself, to my soul, and to other people's soul.
Life shouldn't be like that.
Women want thought-provoking, friendly, trustworthy, funny.
They want a laugh, informative, talk radio.
They get all that from them.
75% of them, and we did a lot of research, said they would come back to Women's Talk Radio if they could hear what they want to hear.
And we hope to provide it for them.
We know what they want.
We think we can give it to them.
Yeah, you know what?
This is the point that people forget about this.
I read the stories of what they were going to do.
And they weren't going to do classes on bra-burning.
They were going to do anything.
This was about cake recipes and baking.
It was about all things in the home, children.
It was about nurturing and sorry.
But it was the death knell of feminism, the way these babes are programming the network.
And then October of 2006 on Comedy Central, this Colbert guy had Steinem and Jane Fonda.
And Steinem was asked, is this going to be like Rush Limbaugh for the ladies?
Well, there is no such thing as Rush Limbaugh for the ladies.
Conflict is good, but it's not the entire world divided into two.
I mean, there might be 10 sides to an issue or 24 sides to an issue.
No, no, no, no.
There's only one side to an issue, and that's the right side.
There are, you know, there are many different sides to other things.
There are three sides to sex.
There are three sides to, maybe more.
It could be 10 sides, depending on Steinem and Fonda and how they play it.
But I mean, issues, this is our problem.
Well, everybody has a right to their, yeah, they do, but they have a right to be stupid too.
They have a right to be wrong.
And when they're wrong, you tell them they're wrong.
There's one side to an issue.
My side.
Speaking of women, Elizabeth Edwards on the campaign's troubles.
Elizabeth Edwards, we just had this fed to me.
Elizabeth Edwards on her husband's campaign troubles.
We can't make John Black.
We can't make him a woman.
Well, you don't have to.
We have already made him a woman, along with Kate Michelman.
They're having trouble out there in the Edwards campaign.
That was a story last week.
The big news, they're all tied in Iowa.
But the big news of that poll was how much of a lead Edwards had lost.
Female mice became sexually voracious, as we're talking about women.
Female mice became sexually voracious and tried to mate like males after scientists disabled a small sensory organ, casting fresh light on how gender-specific behavior develops in animals.
The difference seems to lie in how male and female mice use the vomeronosal or vomeronacil.
I just I'm sure I'm pronouncing that right because I am a highly trained broadcast specialist.
It's the vomeronasal, something in the mouth, in the nose, organ to produce pheromones.
Aren't you people glad you tuned in today?
Said Catherine Dulak, the Harvard biologist who led the research published in the journal Nature on Sunday.
Pheromones are chemical signals that many animals, including humans, use to communicate socially and sexually.
I mean, go on and talk about this.
Female mice, the way they altered them just to sniff away from having the male sex drive.
Do you people realize the potential out there here?
Now, here's a quote here from a neuroscientist at Michigan State not involved in the study.
This comes as a surprise to think that the neural circuitry for male behavior had been sitting in the female brain all this time.
You feel sorry for the males.
You imagine they're confused when the females start replicating their sexual bribes, said Mark Breed Love.
Yeah, when you feel sorry for the males, you imagine they're confused.
Breed love, you're right.
It's called feminism.
And I've received a slew of emails from people who have read a drive-by media report at 24, and the next season is going green.
For example, May Day, May Day, trouble on 24.
Dear Rush, I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I read with horror that the new season of 24 will have Jack Bauer fighting global warming.
Can you use your influence to change the script?
Ladies and gentlemen, you cannot be blamed for totally misunderstanding this.
This is a testament to the absolute incompetence of the drive-by media.
Jack Bauer is not going to be shooting SUVs.
Jack Bauer is not going to be driving hybrids.
Jack Bauer is not going to use BBs or anything.
All the story means is that, and this is a Fox network-wide dictum, from the suits in the studio tower.
All these Fox programs are going to be carbon neutral in their production techniques with light bulb changes on the set and things like that.
The content of the program is not what's referred to in these stories, so don't panic.
Now, over the years, particularly during Republican administrations, when the economy has been great, as it is now, when the economy has been good, drive-bys and the Democrats do not report it as such.
In fact, they do just the opposite.
They try to spread malaise, doom, gloom as thoroughly and widely throughout our culture and population as possible.
And yet, it's always been amazing to me that if you talk to people individually, they say, yeah, I'm doing great.
Oh, I feel good about my future.
Family's doing good.
The kids messing up a little bit.
But other than that, everything's hunky-dory.
I'm just worried about the guy down the street.
I'm not so sure my neighbors are doing well.
And when I've heard that from people, so why?
Why do you think that?
I mean, they look like they're one paycheck away from homelessness.
What's your empirical data for this?
Well, I keep hearing on the news how bad the economy is.
I mean, if it's that bad, I know I'm doing well, but lo and behold, lo and behold, from Ras Mussin reports, Americans are fairly upbeat about their own lives, but far more pessimistic when assessing the state of the nation.
57% of American adults say they're better off now than they were four years ago.
The latest Rasmussen reports survey, telephone survey, found that 34% disagree, say they're not better off today.
At the same time, just 26% say the nation's better off than it was four years ago.
62% disagree and say it isn't.
Okay, right there it is.
57%, the American people, fairly upbeat about their own lives.
Better off today than they were four years ago.
And yet, 62% say the country is not better off today than it was four years ago.
Now, how do you arrive at that?
If you're going to give the poll any credence whatsoever, how do you arrive at that?
You arrive at that by accepting my theory.
The theory is that the drive-bys, the media convince everybody that the place is going to hell in a handbasket, while their own lives are pretty good, and they make everybody feel guilty about it.
And by the way, this is the same technique being used to advance this whole hoax of global warming.
Speaking of which, have I got a global warming stack today?
Just let me just titillate you with, excuse me, one of the stories in the stack here.
This is from the Times of London.
I'll just give you a quote.
Let me give you the headline, then an excerpt from the story.
Walking to the shops damages planet more than going by car.
Well, it says right here, I'm holding this story, my formerly nicotine-stained fingers.
Walking does more harm than driving to cause global warming.
A leading environmentalist Wacko has calculated food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted, providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance.
The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less, and became couch potatoes.
This is not a, this is not scrapple face, this is not the onion, this is not a parody, this is the Times, UK Times.
It's by Dominic Kennedy.
Food production now so energy-intensive that if people realize the absolute total absence of anything intelligent, reasonable, or substantive in this whole discussion of climate destruction, the weather, the environment.
So now you'd be better off walking or driving.
You contribute more to global warming walking to the mall than if you drove there.
Drinking more than three cups of coffee a day helped protect older women against some age-related memory decline, according to French researchers on Monday.
Men did not enjoy this same benefit.
In fact, another companion coffee story, drinking coffee can protect people from developing a tick in which an eyelid twitches uncontrollably, according to a new study from Italy.
It wasn't that long ago, coffee was going to, it was hardening the arteries, it was going to cause heart disease and so forth.
Now, my God, it's going to stop eyelid ticks, and it can help protect against age-related memory decline.
The more coffee one drank, the better the effects seem to be on women's memory functioning, in particular, said Karen Ritchie at the French National Institute of Medical Research, whose work appears in the journal Neurology.
They found, well, they followed 7,000 men and women in three French cities.
You know, I got to take the occasion of this.
Our new sponsor, Boca Java, these guys came up a couple weeks ago, and they brought, I can't tell you, they brought, I mean, it's just unbelievable.
They brought flavored coffee.
They brought the recorder, they've got, it's indescribable the variety they have.
They brought up a couple brewers, coffee pots.
Guys, take it seriously.
And they had a flavor.
What is that?
Maple, maple bacon morning.
I said, I have got to try that.
I've not been a fan of flavored coffees.
You know, the vanilla raspberry swirl, the silken chocolate chip swirl, whatever.
This stuff was, it was amazing.
Snargly brews it every other morning.
They go straight, then I go flavor.
The blueberries.
I mean, stuff is just mind-blowing.
And if flavored coffee is not your thing, they've got dark roasts, deep roasts.
They've gotten mild.
It's fascinating stuff.
But they brought so much up.
We're going to have to build some more cabinets to put it all in.
If you've ever doubted that the liberals are just literal lunatics, try this story.
Mia Farrow has offered herself as a hostage in exchange for a rebel that's being kept in Darfur.
U.S. actress Mia Farrow has offered her freedom in exchange for that of a respected Darfur rebel figure, virtually imprisoned for more than 13 months.
Sudan Liberation Army humanitarian coordinator Suleiman Jamus has been confined to a UN hospital in Kordofan, neighboring Darfur, since the UN moved him there without permission last year.
So Mia Farrow said, I am therefore, wasn't she in Rosemary's Baby?
Was she in the movie?
Yeah, well, that explains it.
Something happened on the set there.
You remember Rosemary's Baby?
Barely?
Well, it was about old Satan coming down and fathering a child with somebody that lived in a New York Upper West Side apartment.
And Mia Farrow was in.
I think she says, I'm therefore offering to take Mr. Jameis' place to exchange my freedom for his in the knowledge of his importance to the civilians of Darfur.
I would encourage him to take the deal.
They wanted to leave anyway.
I really think Mia Farrow is on to something here, folks.
This has tremendous potential.
Hostages for peace.
Not just Mia Farrell, but any number of Hollywood celebrities from Sean Penn to Alec Baldwin can find political prisoners around the world that they disagree with, that disagree with the reasons they're being held captive.
And of course, all the political prisoners in the world are being held captive because Bush is president.
And they could offer themselves in exchange for the release of these political prisoners.
Hostages for peace.
What a great idea.
She swerved into it.
By the way, I made a slip up, and I really need to apologize for this.
I said in describing the movie Rosemary's Baby, I said, Satan came down there, and Satan comes up.
Satan, when he shows up, it's from below.
And I said he came down there.
This is expression, but I just didn't want to cause any confusion.
All right, there's a Democrat forum tonight, debate, what have you.
PMSNBC is doing an all-day telethon here.
And it's a forum co-sponsored with, I think, AFL-CIO, the Union Thugs.
And so that means we're going to lie.
I'll audio somebody too here in a minute, Mike.
But it got me to thinking.
I've been watching this.
I haven't been listening to it, but it's on one of my many monitors here in the broadcast complex.
And I really got to thinking about it.
Seriously, ask you a question here.
If you had the power to pick the Democrat presidential candidate from the current crop of candidates, who would you pick?
Seriously, I'm not, forget the Republicans here, and I'm not saying that they're not worth voting for.
It's not the point.
You've got this list of Democrats.
Who would you pick?
I mean, I got to thinking about there's not one in the whole damn roster that any thinking person would select to be a competent leader.
Each and every one of them are doofuses or dangerous or wrong.
Probably a combination of all three.
And you can't pick Lieberman.
You can't say Lieberman because he's an independent now.
And he's not a candidate in the first place.
All right.
One more thing about the bridge in Minneapolis.
Everybody's asking this question, can Congress solve our need for bridge repairs?
Tom Sowell has a great piece today, which actually inspired my forthcoming commentary on this.
He said the incentives are all wrong.
The incentives are not to fix things.
The incentives for politicians are to start brand new things, ribbon coveting ceremonies, be it new old folks' home, a new water treatment center, what have you, big photo op, bring home the bacon, and that's how you get reelected.
And that is exactly right.
So, if we're looking to the wrong bunch of people to fix the bridge, because fixing the bridge is not the express purpose here, can Congress solve our need for bridge repairs?
The answer could be ethanol, ladies and gentlemen.
What do you mean, Rush?
I don't follow you here.
You already lost me.
Ethanol?
Yeah, it's corn.
Liquid corn, reconstituted corn, self-sealing corn.
Check the bridges, find the cracks, fill them with liquid corn, cover them with reconstituted corn, cement them with self-sealing corn.
Rush, what am I missing?
What's that going to do for the bridges?
Nothing, folks.
It won't make a bit of difference to the bridge.
But look what it'll do for Congress.
It'll get farm votes, more uses for corn, more demand for corn, higher prices for corn.
It'll get labor votes because more uses for corn, all the liquid corn spreaders.
You've got to have union guys to go out there and plug the cracks with the new liquid corn, reconstituted corn pasters and bricklayers, plasterers, and so forth.
Rush, will that fix the bridges?
No, that's not the issue.
When Congress gets involved with bridge repairs, repairing the bridge is not the issue.
If you think solving the problem is the concern of Congress, you don't understand politics.
It's all about soul's right.
It's all about getting votes.
And you think I'm making this up?
Try this.
This is from United Press International.
Jordanian scientists have discovered potato chip flavoring can increase the longevity of concrete.
Oni al-Atum of the Jordan University of Science and Technology found sodium acetate, that's the ingredient that helps give salt and vinegar-flavored potato chips a tangy snap, is the key to a new waterproof coating for concrete.
You think I just dream all this stuff up?
I see this concrete can be protected by potato chip flavoring once our Congress gets hold of this.
Ethanol, potatoes, Idaho need votes out of Idaho, any number of things.
Otum and colleagues note that concrete is so porous that water soaks in, corroding steel, reinforcing bars, meshes that strengthen concrete roads and buildings.
That in turn causes cracks as water expands and contracts during freeze-fall cycles.
I'm not going to get into this right now, but there's a former Clinton administration official, current senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a Clinton think tank, has tied the bridge collapse to global warming.
I made a joke about this Friday.
I made a joke about it on Friday when I had my first chance to talk about this.
How long is it going to be before they blame global warming?
A former Clinton administration official at the Clinton Think Tank, the Center for American Progress, has actually suggested global warming is tied to the collapse of the bridge.
I'll give you details as the program unfolds.
Let's go to Charleston, South Carolina, and we'll start on the phones with Joe.
Thank you for waiting, sir, and welcome.
Rush, Megadittos from one of the golfing places in the United States, Charleston, South Carolina.
Thank you, sir, very much appreciate it.
It's a pleasure to talk to you.
I've been listening to you for a long, long time.
Two quick things.
You just made a comment on, you said it was Mia Farrell wanting to exchange herself for a political prisoner.
You're a big influencer.
You're a big sports fan.
Why don't you head up like an NFL draft with a celebrity for prisoner exchange?
Well, that's what we're going to do.
Like a draft thing.
We're going to start the whole hostages for peace.
We're going to appeal to their sense of service, their sense of guilt, their sense of the ability to do nothing while thinking they're accomplishing a lot.
Very good.
Also, real quick, you commented before about how 50% of Americans feel better about they did about four years ago.
The people that don't, you know, I'm tired of my liberal friends moaning and complaining.
You know, don't people sit back and think about how they can make their lives better rather than depend upon the government.
Well, that's not the mindset of liberal.
Here's the mind that whining and moaning is the natural order.
Misery accompanied by misery and being unhappy.
That's liberalism and being angry.
So when your liberal buddies look around and they see people doing well, they want to punish them.
They don't want to elevate themselves, and they don't want to elevate others.
They want to punish those who they think are at the top because they've gotten there unfairly.
They will actually, it won't be long before liberals will actually come out and be honest about this and say government must act to reduce exorbitant lifestyles.
That's just how they think about this.
The idea that this is a country with boundless opportunity, all they have to do is open a door, knock on it, go in and start seeking it never occurs to them.
They don't think they're going to get a fair shake.
They think corporate interests and all this, all their clichés are standing in the way of anybody being successful.
The only people who are cheat, lie, steal, and basically take money from others.
Liberals don't want that kind of success.
They want the equal distribution of misery.
And that's not an exaggeration.
Here is Emily in San Francisco.
Hey, Emily, nice to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Nice to listen to you every day.
It's something to look forward to, especially on a Monday morning.
It was a terrific show yesterday.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
What about today?
So I think we're off to a pretty roaring start today.
Oh, yes.
There are so many topics to talk about.
For example, I wanted to talk about the fact that the Clintons want to take credit for the 90s for the great economy, which today is the greatest boom in the world we've ever seen in history.
All the countries in the world are booming.
And it's incredible how they took credit for the 90s when it wasn't until 1994, November of 1994, that everything changed because the Republican legislature came in.
Actually, to be thorough and honest about this, if there hadn't been Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, then the 90s wouldn't have happened and whatever the Republican Congress did in 94 would not have been as successful because their starting point would have been much different.
So you really got to go back to the 80s and the drastic, the drastic reduction of marginal tax rates, which spurred the economy.
They had some glitches, brought, you know, the real estate market had some problems because they did change tax codes and behaviors and so forth.
When that ironed out, it was Katie Barthador, and we are still experiencing the boom of the 80s to this day.
Exactly.
And the thing is, though, as President Bush was saying on Saturday, he has a balanced budget.
He hopes to balance the budget in five years, within five years.
However, the Democrats, almost like blackmail, they have to put in a $22 billion overspending in order to ruin it because within five years, the president explained that $22 billion could add up to close to a quarter of a trillion dollars in just one, you know, just their overspending.
And so they are the tax and spend bunch.
We put them in as a president.
You get someone like Hillary, and then you get a Congress filled with Democrats that are left-wing.
It's no longer the Democrat Party we knew of the Kennedys.
We now have a left-wing party.
In fact, I saw, since you mentioned that, no, they do.
Emily, they have the left-wing party.
We don't.
Two things.
This business of balancing the budget in five years.
I remember the 90s.
Balanced budget is a big deal.
And I remember Clinton saying, well, we could balance in two years.
We could do it in five.
We could do it in 10 years.
It wasn't a priority.
I've been hearing so much.
I'm 56.
I am a seasoned adult now, not yet a seasoned citizen, a seasoned adult.
And I've been hearing about all these financial crises my whole life.
The national debt.
Why are it going to wipe us out?
Why the deficit?
The debt.
Why?
The deficit is going to wipe it.
Where budget's not balanced.
I look around and for, well, how long have I been paying attention?
I've started 12 years old, so over 40 years here.
And all these predictions of collapse and doom and gloom, and they happen every year and they happen every day.
And some of them recycle.
The deficit's going to wipe us out.
The national debt's going to wipe us out.
The CHICOM's holding so much of our foreign debt.
And it never happens.
We just keep roaring right along.
My advice, don't panic.
Don't let them put you into panic.
As for the Democrats and overspending, they are.
They're tax and spend.
They're redistributionists.
They want to control you.
They want to control as many people's lives as they can.
Oh, second point.
I got to do this quickly.
I read a column by Rich Lowry.
He was reviewing a book that he had read.
And it was the theory of the book was that the current state of American liberalism can be traced to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
Quick, I'll give you just a brief summary of why we come back.
I got to take a quick time out here.
All right, cookie, work fast.
We have these two soundbites from the owner of the Murray Energy Corporation, owner of the mine where these six miners are missing.
I'd gotten a heads up that this guy launched against the media today for misreporting what's happening out there by name, and that he also started attacking the stupidity of energy legislation in this country.
His name is Robert Murray, chairman of Murray Energy Corp.
He held a press conference, explained what was going on, the rescue efforts.
He started getting questions about things.
These are two sound bites from the press conference.
Without coal to manufacture our electricity, our products will not compete in the global marketplace against foreign countries because our manufacturers depend on coal, low-cost electricity, and people on fixed incomes will not be able to pay their electric bills.
And every one of these global warming bills that has been introduced in Congress to date eliminates the coal industry and will increase your electric rates four to five-fold.
So we are an essential industry.
Now, you might be saying, what the hell is he talking about this when I got six miners down there that are trapped?
Because he was asked about it.
Because he was asked, what the hell are you in this business for anyway?
I mean, that was not an exact question, but why do we have these mines open?
They're so dangerous.
And coal is destroying the planet.
And coal's this and coal's that.
He fired right back at him.
And of course, this guy's a corporate interest, so he can't be trusted, according to the left.
But I mean, these reporters had to be asking some of the most cliched, stupid, uninformed, closed-mind questions.
I have to tell you something, he's right.
I have to tell you a little story.
One of these guy golf trips, and I go on a bunch of them during the summer.
The first one was in the middle of June.
And I went up to a friend of mine's place.
I'm not going to mention where because his town will get mobbed with people wanting to find out where I was and so forth.
He'll get hassled.
But it was in Connecticut.
We took his boat.
He's got a pretty nice boat.
We took his boat over to Fisher's Island.
We're going to play golf over there from Fisher's Island.
We went up to Newport to see another friend.
We were to play golf there the next day.
As we pull out of the harbor where my friend lives, there's this giant.
And I'm not on the water much, folks.
So I see things.
I've seen tankers and stuff flying over them, like when I went into Dubai to negotiate the ports deal before I went to Afghanistan.
But there was this huge, I don't want a tanker, it was just a huge cargo ship.
And there were a bunch of smaller ships loading off of it.
It was offloading on those smaller ships, and they were headed to it.
I said, What is that?
They said, my friend said, coal delivery.
He said, look over there.
And he pointed, and there was this giant power plant in Connecticut.
And those of you who live there now know where I'm talking about.
And it has to be fed every day.
It's providing, this guy's exactly right.
The amount of coal that that cargo ship had to hold would boggle your mind.
These are things that most people never see.
You just go in the room, you flip the switch, and the lights come on, but you don't know how it happens.
And this guy's operating a mine along with other people to bring coal up.
It's a dangerous, risky job.
And you've got the global warming people trying to put it out of business.
And he's right.
If you do that, you're going to have to have some other fuel for the power plants to fire their electricity with, and it is going to cost a tremendous amount of money.
Here's the next bite.
He was just, he's watching the coverage of the disaster, and he said this.
They know nothing about the natural disaster that occurred here.
They know nothing about the damage in the mine and the circumstances surrounding the trap miners.
I caution the media to very much question the veracity of these sources and their motivations.
I particularly cite Mr. Seth Borenstein of the Associated Press for particularly bad reporting and the Fox News Network on what has occurred here.
Rather than utilizing the truthful statements that you heard here, Mr. Borenstein chose to use statements from Mrs. McAteer who were totally false and have nothing to do with or have any understanding of what's happened here.
And this morning, Fox News Network was at it also.
I hope you report that.
Done, Mr. Murray.
By the way, even better, something I left out of the story about that giant ship out there in Long Island Sound servicing the power plant, that coal was from overseas.
It was not American.
That was foreign coal, if you will.
I love this Murray guy because finally somebody is promoting the concept of continual access to sources of energy for the necessity of this country to continue to grow.
