Do you see this headline?
Breast implants linked with suicide in study.
Greetings, folks.
Welcome back.
Great to have you with all of us here.
It's a thrill, a delight to be with you.
I, Rush Limbaugh, the most accurate man in media.
You, the most informed audience in media, the two inexorably linked.
800-282-2882.
If you want to be on the program, women who get cosmetic breast implants are nearly three times as likely to commit suicide as other women.
U.S. researchers reported Wednesday.
The study published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery.
We're going to have to get all these magazines.
Nature, Geophysical Physics, I mean, all these oddball, kooky little magazines out there.
Prairie Farmer, one of my favorite magazines.
Subscription ran out on that.
Anyway, the study published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery reinforces several others that have shown women who have breast enlargements have higher suicide risks.
Yes, the increased risk of suicide was not apparent till 10 years after implantation.
Now, here we have another great name, Lauren Lipworth, did the study here, and she said, Lauren Lipworth said that she believes some women who get implants may have psychiatric problems to start with, perhaps linked with lower self-esteem or body image disorders.
They found no increase in the risk of death from cancer, including breast cancer, only three times as likely to commit suicide.
However, they are six times more likely to be groped by Bill Clinton.
So there is an upside.
Well, potentially an upside.
This next story, you just have to laugh.
It's from Santa Ana, California.
Responding to a refusal by city leaders to declare the city a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, more than a dozen people gathered outside City Hall on Monday night to denounce recent immigration raids, accusing federal officials of terrorizing immigrant communities and breaking up families.
A coalition of local immigrant rights groups, including the Orange County Alliance for Immigrants' Rights and the Front Against the Raids, announced a planned program to create a hotline that will notify people where and when immigration raids will take place.
The program would also coordinate a support system for the families of deportee targets.
That's right.
We want to have a more organized effort to counter these attacks, said Jaime Contreras, a 20-year-old Filipino immigrant who now lives in Santa Ana.
We can't let people trample on our rights.
It isn't an attack, Jaime.
It's law enforcement.
And you don't have any rights because you're illegal.
You understand what they're doing out there with the Orange County Alliance for Immigrants Rights and its other group going to notify illegals when and where there are going to be raids.
How did they get the information for the hotline?
Who is leaking the information on where and when the raids are going to take place?
Activists in the area being urged to call the hotline and report raids or any abusive power exercised by law enforcement.
So now enforcing the immigration laws is an abuse.
It's an abuse of power.
We knew this was headed.
President Bush press conference today, final press conference for the summer.
Before heading on vacation, gas taxes came up predictably from the drive-by media.
Terry Hunt, the Associated Press.
Mr. President, the former chairman of the House Transportation Committee said that there's about 500 bridges around the country like the one that collapsed in Minneapolis.
They now have other Transportation Committee members who are recommending an increase in federal gas taxes to pay for repairs.
Would you be willing to go along with an increase in gasoline taxes of five cents a gallon or more?
That's an interesting question about how Congress spends and prioritizes highway money.
My suggestion would be that they revisit the process by which they spend gasoline money in the first place.
The Public Works Committee is the largest committee, or one of the largest committees in the House of Representatives.
The way it seems to have worked is that each member on that committee gets to set his or her priority first, and then what's ever left over is spent through a funding formula.
That's not the right way to prioritize the people's money.
So before we raise taxes, which could affect economic growth, I would strongly urge the Congress to examine how they set priorities.
And if bridges are a priority, let's make sure we set that priority first and foremost before we raise taxes.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant answer, because the priority for raising taxes to fix bridges is not to fix bridges.
The priority in raising taxes is more control over your life.
It's just a knee-jerk thing.
Any kind of an accident, any event, the first liberal knee-jerk reaction, we got to raise taxes, gas tax, five cents, got to get, we need to fuck.
We got the Highway Trust Fund, which bloated already with money.
We went through yesterday how Minneapolis is spending all this money on a light rail system from downtown to the airport.
Nobody's going to ride.
They've got plenty of money.
They just didn't allocate it.
And of course, the priority here is not really fixing the bridge.
The priority is, or maintaining bridges.
The priority is new projects.
You cut a ribbon and say, see what I'm doing for you.
Look at what I'm building this new sewer treatment center.
We're going to be groundbreaking on this today.
Look, I'm going to cut the blue ribbon here.
Blah, I, your Congressman, it's all about getting votes.
It's all about getting re-elected.
It's not about fixing problems.
He's absolutely right on prioritizing.
Next question: David Green, NPR, you're a big believer in accountability.
You've talked about it with regards to the public scruples.
Given the performance of Iraqi leaders, the sentence of Libby, you both have stood by the Attorney General recently.
There's a lot of questions about your commitment to accountability.
Can you give the American people some clear example of how you have held people accountable?
Louis Libby was held accountable.
He was declared guilty by a jury, and he paid a high price for it.
Al Gonzalez, implicit in your questions, is that Al Gonzalez did something wrong.
I haven't seen Congress say he's done anything wrong.
I think that's a typical Washington, D.C. assumption, not to be accusatory.
I know you're a kind, open-minded fellow, but you suggested holding the Attorney General accountable for something he did wrong.
And matter of fact, I would hope Congress would become more prone to deliver pieces of legislation that matter as opposed to being the investigating body.
He didn't do anything wrong.
What's there to hold him accountable for?
Another assumption that has taken on a life of its own.
Drive-by media, just echoing whatever the Democrat talking points are of the day, or vice versa.
Next question: this is Jim Rutenberg at the New York Times.
The pictures from the visit are very warm.
This is about Maliki.
And the drive-bys are going to try to topple Nouri al-Maliki, the prime minister, the president, whatever he is over there in Iraq.
And Rutenberg says, I'm wondering, do you and your Iraqi counterparts see eye to eye on Iran?
What kind of message do those images send to your allies in the region and Americans who are skeptical about the prime minister?
I haven't seen the picture.
Look, generally, the way these things work is you try to be cordial to the person you're with.
And so you don't want the picture to be kind of, you know, duking it out.
Okay.
Put up your dukes.
That's an old boxing expression.
In your previous conversations with Prime Minister Malachi, have you been confident that he shares your view on Iraq?
On Iran?
Yes.
He knows that weaponry being smuggled in to Iraq from Iran and placed in the hands of extremists over which the government has no control, all aimed at killing innocent life, is a destabilizing factor.
He absolutely understands that.
And this, the drive-bys tie the tax increase they want for bridges to the war in Iraq because that's what the Democrats are doing.
That's what liberals do.
Ann Compton, ABC News.
Can you do justice to the programs the government needs for bridges for housing and also continue to spend as much as you do with the war in Iraq?
The problem in Congress is they have trouble actually focusing on priorities.
Appropriators take their title seriously and they all feel like they got to appropriate, which means there's a myriad of priorities.
One thing is that we shouldn't have a debate over is whether or not it's important to fund our troops in this war against radicals, extremists, the war on terror.
And I think we'll be able to get that kind of cooperation.
You can continue to sustain the kind of level of spending that you've invested in in Iraq.
I know there's a lot of members who don't agree with the decisions I made.
I would certainly hope they would agree, however, that once someone's in combat or in harm's way, that they get the full support of the federal government.
That's exactly what their families expect.
And that's what the commander-in-chief expects as well.
A brief time out here, President Bush.
Nice, nice work today at the press conference.
Back after this.
America's real anchor man, truth detector, doctor of democracy, Rush Limbaugh, serving humanity.
EIB Network to the phones now and Dennis in Pittsburgh.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Oh, thank you, Rush.
I first met you through KDKA Pittsburgh when you were announcing your 202nd affiliate sign up.
I remember that.
I remember that trip back there very well.
It's been quite a while.
Anyway, my point is that I think that you and my other conservative talk show host friends are giving legitimacy to the liberal global warming garbage by merely responding to it.
I think if you ignored it, they would have a lot more difficulty reaching the American public.
You and the other conservative libertarian talk show hosts, they would have a lot more difficult reaching the American public.
Air America failed.
They couldn't get their message through there.
Therefore, what do you mean they couldn't get the message?
You watch Good Morning America today.
They got their two networks all over Georgia.
Global warming, it's 105 degrees.
B.S., it's August.
Look at, I appreciate what you're saying.
It's the old argument.
You got somebody out there that's criticizing you.
Ignore them or you're just there, let it go.
This is different.
This is liberalism on the march.
I may as well, using your theory, ignore the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign on the idea that it won't have any legitimacy and she won't be able to get it publicized.
No, no, We are the bulwark here.
We are the dyke holding back the onslaught of liberalism in this country.
And it comes disguised.
It comes camouflaged, such as it is in global warming.
Global warming is said to be something to save the planet and save humanity because humanity is destroying the planet.
Excuse me.
Destroying the planet.
So we have to make amends for our sins.
We have to raise taxes.
We have to roll back our livestocks.
I'm not going to ignore the onslaught of liberalism because there are still millions of Americans that need to be informed and educated as to how.
It's just like the blob.
It just seeps into everywhere.
But I'll give you a true statement.
Something that is an organization, a group of people, a family, whatever, that is not conservative, by definition, will be liberal.
Liberalism is easy.
It's the most gutless choice you can make.
Conservatism is an applied intellectual application.
And so things that are not conservative, by definition, are going to be liberal.
And you just can't sit back and let this disguised onslaught take place.
I couldn't.
And I won't.
Chuck in Big Rock, Illinois.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello, Rush.
Hey.
Hey, nice talking to you.
I heard your discussion on the temperatures.
I've been measuring temperatures probably for 35 years, a professional engineer in various aspects of my career.
And I have found that these standard weather shelters that you talked about, they put the thermometers or instrumentation inside of it, and they have little slots where the air goes in and out.
And the hope is that this is a standard measurement.
Right.
However, humidity affects it.
Flow of air through it may affect it.
Concrete affects it.
It has fault effects.
Oh, everything.
There's a microclimate effect.
Depends on what microclimate you stick it in.
If you put it in Death Valley, it's going to behave a little different than some other place up in Alaska.
There's instruments that have varied in accuracy over the years.
100 years ago, one can argue are not as accurate as they are now.
There are visual measurements that are made.
You know, you usually go to assume you can read to one half the least count.
Least count would be like a degree.
So if your thermometer has one degree increments, you could probably read to one half a degree accuracy.
And then some of these claims are saying that we've had temperature rises of almost a degree in 100 years.
And I really can't see that as a trend with respect to this lack of instrumentation and accuracy over the years.
Certainly in the future we'd get better instrumentation, but as a temperature measurement person, there's a lot of problems with measuring temperatures, and I'm very leery about some of this.
Well, common sense would make you leery, and you have more than common sense because it's your career.
So you know what you're talking about.
I mean, I can take it to a rudimentary level.
I have an iPhone, and the iPhone can get you the weather and the current temperature from any, well, not any, but most cities in the country, and I think it's the country, not around the world.
Maybe it is around.
I have a check world.
Also have a Mac, have a bunch of Macs, and I have a widget that does the same thing, but they use two different sources.
One is AccuWeather, the other, I think, is Yahoo.
And I was checking the other day, and I was going to go to New York, and I was looking at the temperature, and it was a two-degree difference.
And those two, I thought the temperature was official.
I thought we had an official temperature.
And it wasn't because time of day, but they take it because they change them every hour.
Some places tend to the hour, some places right on the hour.
But there was a two-degree differential in what I was reporting.
Now, maybe one was Central Park, the other was LaGuardia or JFK.
Who knows?
But anyway, this stuff is so all over the ballpark that it is, it's only reasonable to be suspicious of it.
But then, you know, what he's calling about here, folks, if you missed the first hour, a central theory, central tenet in the theory that we are going through a period of vast man-made warming is based on the fact that 1998 is recorded as the highest, the warmest year on record.
And it's not.
It turns out that the numbers that NASA reported and calculated that year are wrong.
And it's just a bunch of bloggers who found this out.
And I don't know how long NASA's known it and they haven't corrected it or if they do know it and haven't corrected it.
But you know, there's an agenda inside there.
They've got this guy, James Hansen, who's a big global warming advocate.
Turns out that the warmest year on record is 1934.
And five of the top 10 warmest years on record are in the 30s.
So the idea that 98 was the highest and the hottest, and of course there's a shared with this story that Reuters has coming out today.
Let me just read you the lead to it.
I can't read a whole story because it's embargoed.
Till 2 o'clock Eastern, global warming forecast to set in with a vengeance after 2009, with at least half of the five following years expected to be hotter than 1998, the warmest year on record, scientists reported Thursday.
So they're using 1998 as the benchmark, and it's going to be even worse than that.
They don't dare say 1934 because 34 before anybody was even talking about global warming.
So, well, actually, that's not true.
They've been talking about global warming or global freezing in the media.
A couple of guys did stories on this because the media can go out and find experts, quote unquote, in literally anything.
And in the 1800s, they were worried about coming glaciers and ice ages.
And every 20 or 25 years or so, it shifts from cooling to warming.
It's all part of this cycle.
Keep everybody on the edge of their seats and in a constant state of fear and crisis and angst and so forth.
But the data here is so spurious on all of this, the models don't even take into account all the factors that affect the climate in the greenhouse.
It's all a hoax.
It's all designed to advance liberalism.
And what's liberalism?
Liberalism in this case is more and more control over individuals.
It is concentration of power in the state.
It is increased taxes on everybody so as to facilitate your control over them.
In this case, they're using the same belief systems, the same theories that religions use.
You must take it on faith.
It has its Garden of Eden, the original pristine earth.
It has the arrival of man.
It has sin.
Yeah, the sin is the destruction of the planet.
It has redemption, believing in global warming, letting your taxes go up, roll back your lifestyle, start changing your light bulbs, go out and do this carbon credit gunk, have a carbon neutral.
All of this stuff is designed to get you to change the way you live because the liberals don't like the way you like you being free.
They want you under their control.
And it's got salvation, it's got everything in it.
And it has the primary ingredient of every religion, faith.
Because none of it can be proved.
They have to run around and say, well, there's a consensus of science, consensus in science.
I'm getting blue in the face saying this, don't and cannot mutually coexist.
Brief timeout.
Much more straight ahead.
Sit tight.
No need to do that, folks.
Relax.
We do the thinking for you here at the EIB network.
Now, get this.
Inmates are running the asylum.
This is from Tucson, Arizona.
Local hash school students will soon be cashing in for hitting the books.
A new pilot program promises to pay them to stay in school.
More than 20,000 Arizona teenagers dropped out of the classroom in 2006 to fight the problem.
75 students from low-income families at MP High and 100 from Rincon High were picked for the new program.
And students will get $25 a week as an incentive to stay in school.
A local nonprofit will pay for the project.
To get the money, the kids have to stay out of trouble and keep their grades up.
Kids like Cassandra Harden, I can get money for doing what I'm already doing.
She was handpicked to be part of the pilot project, says the money will make a difference to her future.
You're getting paid to listen to a teacher tell you things you might need later, says student Travis Jager.
He says it's an incentive to stay in school.
He plans on hitting the books to keep his grades up.
I'll focus on my studies.
I'll help out around the house.
The idea of being paid to stay in school bodes well for Dylan Ebright.
He dropped out a few years ago and now fixes electronics.
Even though he got his GED, he wishes he'd stayed in Scruel.
I think a lot of kids see the rap stars and all the money they make and think if they drop out of school, they can be like that.
Oh, man, folks.
By the way, let me find it.
Speaking of education, just stick with me on this because that story in Arizona just cleared.
And I had this down the other story of education.
It's basically, here we go.
Here it is for our buddies at WorldNet Daily for a decade now.
The composite score on the ACT college entrance exam for homeschrueled students has been higher than the national average.
And the 2006 stats, the most recent available, show the trend continuing.
The Homeschool Legal Defense Association said that the 2006 scores for homeschooled students averaged 22.4 compared to the national average composite of 21.1.
A year earlier, the average for homeschoolers was 22.5 compared to the national average and includes public and private school students, 20.9.
Now homeschoolers have an unbroken record for the last 10 years since 1996 when testing officials started tracking them, scoring higher on the ACT than the national average.
In fact, since 1985, research consistently shows that homeschoolers on average do better than the national average on standardized achievements tests for the elementary and secondary grade levels as well.
So while in Arizona, they're going to now pay them 25 bucks a week to stay in school.
And the quotes from the students.
Well, go in there and be paid to listen to a teacher.
Hell, who wouldn't take?
Well, I would have taken it too, but I mean, they just lost control.
This is the inmates running the asylum.
All because of the dropout rate.
By the way, one wonderful global warming story from the Sacramento Bee, amazingly, starts this way.
Don't tell Al Gore, but global warming is taking a holiday in Sacramento this week.
The maximum temperatures Sunday and Monday set records each day as the coolest high temperatures for the dates since record keeping began in 1870.
I, you know, I used to live out there.
It's my adopted hometown.
It can routinely get in August 110.
It's a dry heat.
It's a valley.
And it'll get down to 55 at night because of the sea breeze coming up the Delta.
But it can get scorching hot out there.
And 80.
What's the high temperature?
Monday's downtown high was 74, three degrees cooler than the previous record of 77 set in 1906.
Sunday's downtown high was 76, and that broke the previous record to 78 set in 1962.
These were the coldest high temperatures for August 5th and 6th that we have ever recorded.
And they credit this as a lower marine layer out there and other factors.
So anyway, I'm amazed.
Sacramento B is the drive-by media out there.
Here's Nick, Nick in Monroe County, North Carolina.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Megaditta's rush from Latar Health State.
Thank you, sir.
Nice, hot, balmy 103 degrees out here.
No, your heat index is probably 110.
I think it was supposed to be about 112 today.
Well, it's even better.
Even better.
Well, I just wanted to make a comment.
I had heard earlier.
You had played a clip of Senator Gravelle talking about Spartan's program.
That's been an hour and a half ago.
Let's play that again.
Grab soundbite number one so everybody in the audience will have heard this and know what Nick here from the Tarheel State is talking about.
You know something?
Clinton was dead wrong.
Dead wrong on that issue.
It's ridiculous.
He was trying to be mousy and in the middle.
When Clinton got to be president, the first thing you're doing, he's standing on Tule, waffling back and forth.
Oh, don't tell us you're gay.
What are you talking about?
If you had any knowledge of history, ancient history, in Sparta, they encouraged homosexuality because they fight for the people they love.
And if it's your partner and you love them, you're prepared to die for them.
And that's the same ethic you see in the military today.
It's not the country.
It's my partner.
Go see the movies on war, and it's always the person next to me who's in my foxhole with me.
Well, I got to tell you, extend that a little further, and you'll see why the Spartans trained their people to be homosexuals because they were better fighters.
Okay, Nick, you want to weigh in on this training of homosexuals?
Well, here's the thing, Rush.
I'm a first-generation Greek American.
You know, it was reported, you know, it has been reported and proven that homosexuality was pretty random.
You know, not random, but very common back in the ancient world.
But what Senator Gravello fails to mention is that actually the Athenians and even later on, the Romans really promoted homosexuality.
No, I mean, the Spartans and Greeks had nothing on the Romans in this world, in this area.
Yeah, well, that's my take on it.
Second of all, if the Spartans were promoting homosexuality, they would have not been the first to step up to the Persian Empire when Xerxes was trying to invade Greece.
So I will, you know, after he fails miserably at his next debate, his next Democratic presidential candidate debate, he can come and debate with me and we'll talk a little Greek history.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What did you just say?
If the Spartans were promoting homosexuality, they would have not been the first to step up to the Persian.
What do you mean by that?
What I mean by this is that Spartans do, if anything, criticized everyone else in Greece, especially the Athenians, for their rampant promotion of homosexuality.
They were very much family-oriented, had traditional family values as we know them, as we conservatives know them today.
So you're saying Gravelle is wrong?
Is that what you're saying?
He's getting confused with the other side.
Pretty much.
Yeah, pretty much I'm saying that he's wrong, that Spartans did not promote, you know, there might have been small cases of homosexuality within the military ranks, but if that were the case, instead of them going to fight the Persians, they would be in the barracks having orgies.
Do you understand what I'm saying, Rush?
Yes, I think I got it.
I mean, the Romans, if anything, you know, if you look at a lot of the modern-day Roman movies, especially the movie Gladiator, there was obviously hints of a promotion of homosexuality.
Look at the way he didn't say promotion.
He said, well, he said promotion and the training of homosexuality.
But I don't want to get into that.
Look, I am not a Greek scholar, and I'm going to consult Victor Davis Hansen on this because he is.
He is an expert in all this.
But I do know something about the Spartans outside of sexual orientation.
And, you know, what does the term Spartan mean today?
If you live in Spartan surroundings, what are they?
It means you don't have much.
It means you don't need much.
You don't need stuff.
You have the bare essentials, and that's it.
And that's what Spartan means because that's where they live.
Sparta was where they lived, but that's what it's come to mean.
These people, from the moment young men were born, they were bred to be warriors and fighters.
That was their entire focus in life.
There has not been a society like them since.
They were the if a Spartan boy was born and didn't show the proclivities, it wasn't pretty.
The women were there to basically be the cooks and the incubators for this army.
They bred an army.
Spartans bred armies.
That's what it was.
And that's what's so phenomenal about the Battle of Thermopylae with the 300.
How did 300 do what they did against the massive Persian army?
It's because that's how they were raised.
If Gravel, if you want to talk about Sparta, you can say, I don't know why this homosexuality business and all that.
But one thing I do, you've got to be honest to say the Spartans were trained and raised for one purpose, to kick ass.
It didn't matter where and against who.
That's what they were raised to do.
Now, if along the way they had orgies in the barracks, who knows?
Victor Davis Hansen will know.
And I'm going to get to the bottom of this because it's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard asserted that Gravelle said.
It trained them in homosexuality because you love the guy in the foxhole whether you'll do anything to save his life.
It wasn't about country.
That I know is not true when it comes to the Spartans.
And I know it's not true in the U.S. military.
They are out there fighting for country.
I've talked to them.
This is patently ridiculous.
What he's saying about this.
And the same thing that the Spartans were raised to defend Sparta.
Pure and simple.
It's a lot more detailed than that, but they were, in the annals of human civilization, they're pretty rare kind of people they were.
Back in just a sec.
Hey, folks, for the fun of it here, let's put Senator Gravelle's theory here into real world practice.
Senator Gravelle's theory is that the Spartans, if you go back and look at real military history, you'll find that the Spartans trained their soldiers to be homosexuals because you go to war and you put the person you love in a foxhole next to you, your focus becomes making sure that person stays okay, doesn't die, doesn't get hurt.
You're not fighting for country, you're fighting for love.
As they trained them to be gay, all right?
If let's take the orientation out of it, if the reason you go to war with somebody next to you in a foxhole is because you're in love with them, and the reason that you're doing what you're doing is to save them, then why haven't we all figured out the brilliance of this and put husbands and wives together in the foxholes side by side in the tanks in the two pilot jets?
Why aren't husbands and wives out there doing that?
And don't care if the reason is because they're already at war with themselves.
That's not the point.
If you're at war with your wife or vice versa and all of a sudden you both get called up, you'll suspend that war.
All right?
You'll suspend it.
So why do we do this?
Why don't we put husbands and wives together?
Well, This is the reason why we should not have women in the military precisely because it's going to screw everything up.
Look at the, when women were introduced in various combat roles and so forth, look at all the affairs that started taking place.
It was a distraction.
You know, sex became a distraction.
So Gravelle's full of it.
Furthermore, I would ask Senator Gravell, Senator Gravelle, where is Sparta today?
And where is the Roman Empire today?
How's this guy make these stupid comments and remain a serious, I don't even, I guess he's not a serious candidate, but he's on all those debates.
He's up there on stage.
I don't know how you train somebody to be homosexual.
We've been told time and time again that you're born this way.
If you can be trained to be a homosexual, then Mike Gravelle might be onto something that nobody else knows here.
Because if that can happen, then you could also be trained not to be.
Can't have that.
Only way.
But thank God for the guy.
I mean, by the way, that bite comes from a gay rights rally in New Hampshire this year.
I found it on YouTube.
I don't think it's found its way into the drive-by media, and I don't think that it will.
But we put it out there.
Here's Tricia in Wrangley, Colorado.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi, how are you?
I'm fine.
Very good.
It's really good to talk to you.
Appreciate that.
I'm nervous.
Nervous?
I'd like to hear you when you're relaxed.
I am nervous.
No, you don't sound nervous at all.
He's in fact very vivacious, effervescent, and energetic.
Well, thank you.
Next to my father, you're probably the smartest man I know of.
But I'm so glad you made the point about being born homosexual and how he said you could train somebody to be homosexual.
It just shocked me because I've always been told by many liberals that you are, you know, born this way.
Right.
And it just.
I've heard the same thing.
It's just amazing to me.
Well, look at that.
I mean, clearly, the guy is, you know, an order of French fries short of a happy meal.
Well, obviously.
The elevator's not going all the way to the top.
He shouldn't be allowed to talk for anyone.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
We need these guys talking.
We want them to tell us who they are.
Well, he's doing himself more damage.
Well, but he was talking to a reporter for a gay little TV network or publication or something.
Right.
So he was maybe pandering.
Who knows?
Well, the way that it came across, I'm imagining that the gays are asking him not to help them, you know, because it doesn't look good for him to say that.
They may not have heard about it.
They may not have even known about this until I let the proverbial cat out of the bag and got to the bottom of this.
Well, I'm sure that's true on a lot of issues.
On a lot of issues.
Absolutely right.
Well, look, Tricia, thanks for calling.
I appreciate your patience and holding on, too.
Thanks so much for taking my call.
Have a good day.
You do the same.
Be right back after this.
My good buddies.
Speaking of Mike Gravelle and his assertion that the Spartans trained people in homosexuality to make them great warriors, there's a Democrat forum tonight in front of a totally gay TV audience.
It is the Logo Network.
Logo network is available in about 27 million homes.
And the story I have it on it here says that Democrats will appear sequentially at 15-minute intervals during the two-hour forum, never sharing the stage with one another.
This is actually very good because each Democrat candidate, I assume Gravelle's going to be there too, each Democrat candidate gets 15 minutes alone with the audience so that the gay audience there can size them up.
Now, this would be an excellent chance for the Democrats.
Gravelle has set the stage.
It's time to call for an all-gay army, an all-gay military based on Mike Gravelle's understanding of history and his teaching us all of how the greatest warriors, or some of the greatest warriors, in the ancient world did it.
Homosexuality lovers, homosexual lovers in the foxhole.
So this has, I think, got potential.
I don't get the logo network.
I don't think.
Maybe it is on direct TV.
It is on Direct TV.
Oh.
