Time Text
Hey, hey, hey, hey, welcome back, folks.
Rush Limbaugh here, once again under fire.
From the EIB Southern Command, the well fortified, defended, and secured EIB Southern Command.
Great to have you with us.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882, the email address Rush at EIB net.com.
All right, I've got a lot of audio sound bites I want to get to in this hour, but I want to go back to something that we uh uncovered earlier in the program, and that is Mrs. Clinton crying in New Hampshire today.
Finally have seen the video on ABC.
There were no tears.
Here is part of the bite.
It's not easy.
It's not easy.
Um and I couldn't do it if I just didn't, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do.
You know, I have so many opportunities from this country.
I just don't want to see us fall backwards.
Oh, so that's the crocodile tears.
There were no tears.
This sets feminism back 50 years.
You're not supposed to cry when you start losing.
This is Pat Schroeder-esque.
Pat Schroeder ran for president from Colorado back in the 80s.
Uh, well, she didn't run.
She was thinking about running, as she called a press conference in the in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, and said that she wasn't gonna run, and she actually did start bawling, started crying.
And I can't, I'm not running because I decided I can't win.
And her husband was right there.
She buried her head in her husband's shoulder and said, feminism back for who knows how many years.
These are crocodile tears.
There were no tears.
This was purely calculated.
This is Bill Clinton coaching her.
Look, don't bite your lower lip like I do.
They'll accuse you of copying me.
Do some fake tears out there.
Show them how much you really care.
December 22nd PBS All-Girl chat show called To the Contrary, hosted by the lovely and gracious Bonnie Urbe.
Uh, they had uh, let's see, Carrie Dominguez, uh, Kim Gandhi of the Nags, Dr. Bernadine Healy of U.S. News and World Report, and Eleanor Holmes Norton, and they were talking about Mrs. Clinton and at Picture that I uh commented on do we really want to sit here and watch a female president age every day before our eyes.
This week an unflattering picture of Senator Clinton appeared on the Drudge Report website, prompting conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh to ask whether America wanted to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis.
So what kind of uh response should he get to that kind of question?
Well, you know, Hillary may need to soften her image.
Well, she doesn't need to cry in order to abort a picture like that.
In fact, she better not cry.
Because stereotypes are already setting in.
That's why you have that picture.
And yet this is a stereotype.
Men are crying already.
Uh ask Romney on the stump, but she's gotta be.
Well, is there a so there is a double standard?
Don't give me that.
There's no double standard.
Ed Muskie cried, and that was it.
Tried to claim it was snowflakes, but it was tears, and he was out of there.
No double standard on this.
That was Eleanor Holmes Norton saying she better not cry.
She cried today.
She cares.
Carl Golden, writing at New Jersey.com.
Is this part of the Bergen record?
Uh I am not sure that it is.
It's okay.
It's a collabor New Jersey.com's a collaboration of sites from uh newspapers in New Jersey.
Carl Golden.
Uh Bill and Rush, perfect together.
News stories coming out of New Hampshire suggest that former President Bill Clinton, angry and frustrated over the defeat of his wife in the Iowa caucuses by Barack Obama, feels the media is complicit in Obama's victory, that it has a vested interest in his continued success.
Say, what?
Wasn't this the essence of what conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said a few years ago about Donovan McNabb?
That the media has a vested interest in seeing a black quarterback succeed in the NFL and therefore overlooked his flaws and shortcomings.
Limbaugh was bounced from his analyst role at ESPN within 48 hours, while politicians, candidates, civil rights leaders, sports figures, and anyone else with access to a microphone or printed pages fell all over one another to weigh in on his comments.
Clinton's complaint that the media is handing Obama a free pass is eerily similar and just as fallacious as Limbaugh's assertions about media coverage of McNabb.
The difference in reaction, however, is striking.
Limbaugh was accused of veiled racism of using what he saw as a gentler treatment of McNabb as another instance of the liberal media promoting an unfair agenda of affirmative action, minority set asides and quotas in everything from college admissions to employment.
That's a little bit exaggerated.
That wasn't my point.
How many times have we discussed this?
At any rate, Limbaugh, of course, is as much entertainer as analyst who makes his living by such commentaries amassed a legion of believers.
Consequently, he was an easy target for his opponents who used his remarks about McNabb and the media to belabor him and his views, but no one stepped forward to challenge Clinton's assertion that his wife's campaign is being shortchanged by a media, which is covertly giving aid and comfort to Obama's campaign.
Blaming the media for a candidate's loss is, of course, nothing new.
It's what candidates and their staffs do when their performance doesn't match expectations or hopes.
For the former president, however, to suggest the media is actually helping his wife's chief opponent takes blame shifting a step further.
Discontent is now bubbling to the surface over the heightened role he's taken in his wife's campaign that he's upstaging her and drawing the spotlight to him.
But the irony involved in Clinton using a tactic similar to Limbaugh, the charter member of the vast right wing conspiracy met on bringing down the Clintons is just too delicious to let pass quietly.
That's Carl Golden, who gets it 75% right, uh maybe 80% right here in the um at New Jersey.com.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh I have been thinking since this recent spate of uh callers from Huckabee supporters, which started about 50 minutes ago, 45 to 50 minutes ago.
Uh thought about it long and hard during the break, even thinking about it here while doing other things, opening this hour's monologue segment.
And I want to say to you, Huckabee supporters, that you've convinced me.
I have been convinced.
I've been convinced through the power and the brilliance of your arguments made to me here on the phone on this program today, that Governor Huckabee is a true conservative.
He is the only guy who is a true conservative.
And I have concluded that I am debasing myself and the conservative cause by questioning him.
As a matter of fact, Governor Huckabee was right to increase taxes by 500 million dollars in Arkansas.
Governor Huckabee was right to offer in-state tuition to illegal aliens.
He was right to offer the Mexican government a consulate in Arkansas for one dollar a year.
More states should show this kind of compassion.
Right there.
He offered, and when I learned this, so there's a conservative.
The Mexican consulate.
A dollar a year in Arkansas.
He was right to release over 1,000 criminals.
This is conservative.
He is right to oppose school choice.
This is conservative.
And he was right to accuse President Bush of a bunker mentality and stubbornness in dealing with our enemies.
He was right in suggesting that the way to deal with bin Laden and Zawahiri and other enemies of the United States Is to implement the golden rule.
He was right.
This is.
Ladies and gentlemen, the new conservatism.
It is both Reaganism and post Reaganism.
Postmodern Reaganism and aftermodern post Reaganism.
And I'm sitting here chasting chastising my.
How could I have missed this?
After 20 years.
How could I have missed this?
After 20 years, it has become clear, after only eight weeks of Governor Huckabee on the scene, I now see the new conservatism.
No to school choice, $500 million in tax increases, Mexican consulates in states for one dollar a year, in state tuition to illegal aliens.
The new conservatism.
And how could all the rest of us, the tens of millions of conservatives who have yet to even vote in these primaries?
And the over 60% in Iowa who did not vote for Governor Huckabee.
How could we have made such an error?
I have seen the light.
And we're back.
El Rush Ball with talent on lawn from God.
Duh.
So, I know it's a great question.
Why would Mrs. Clinton all of a sudden cry now?
She didn't even cry coming out of the womb.
Coming out of the womb, she was screaming, get me out of here.
But she didn't cry.
We have it on great medical authority.
It's just the Clinton soap opera continuing.
I wonder if uh Harry Thomas and Alinda Bloodworth Thomas and Koster.
You know, like they coached Bill on how to not say that, or how to say that he never had sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.
Not a single time, never.
Now, Bill Clinton thinks that the media propping up Obama.
Let's see if he has a point this morning on Morning Joe, Scarborough's show on PMS NBC, Andrea Mitchell says this about Hillary Clinton's rally yesterday.
One thing I did notice also, by the way.
At one point she said, Now who's here from New York?
And a whole group of people in the stands, high school gym, said, Yes, we are.
And then afterwards, I started going around.
There were a lot of people from New York, East Hampton from the Hudson Valley, people from Connecticut.
Well, that's a quarter.
So they're shipping in shipping in New York.
They're packing the crowd.
They're packing the crowd.
Andrea Mitchell, one of Hillary's friends, or used to be.
Pack in the crowd because she can't draw anybody in New Hampshire.
And this was what Andrea Mitchell also pointed out.
Hillary's acceptance speech last Thursday night in Iowa.
Well, her concession speech last Thursday night that uh the room was a funereal dirge uh minutes before her speech began.
Tim Russert, same program, talking about Andrea Mitchell's comments.
At the Nashua High School.
And I talked to one of the guys and security guys, maintenance guys.
They tell you everything.
He said, they're all from Massachusetts.
Check the plates.
So I went out to the school parking lot, and I must say, the vast majority of the parents were from Massachusetts.
That's unbelievable.
That's Mika Bzhinski, the daughter of Zabigniev Brzezinski, uh national security advisor uh for Jimmy Carter.
Uh, who just now happens to be a drive-by media info, babe.
Funny coincidence, that, isn't it?
So um the here's NBC at least dumping on Mrs. Clinton, and they are acting fearless in face of the old testicle lockbox.
Uh, essentially saying Mrs. Clinton packing the crowd.
Andrea Mitchell, uh, appalled at what she's hearing from Clinton.
I can't make her young.
I can't make her male.
I can't make it.
What's he talking about?
I just have to tell you.
You know what, though, brother, you can make her single.
And after this rank, if he does it, shut up.
She is gonna be sick.
Because he also yesterday was blaming her staff for the Iowa loss.
They didn't do a good enough job getting the young vote out.
I can't make her young.
Well, that was specious anyway.
Here comes the story that Obama cleaned up amongst the young, and so the next day, Hillary's out there making appeal for young people.
Her campaign's totally active.
Here's what they're talking about.
Grab sound bites 28 and 29.
Uh, this you could you could put this in the category here.
This is from Sunday.
Uh, put this in the category of helpful husband.
We can't be a new story, I'm sorry.
There's nothing we can do.
I can't make her younger, taller, male.
There's lots of things I can't do, but if you want a president and you need one, she would be by far the best.
Now, how helpful is that?
I can't make her younger.
I can't make her taller.
I can't make her male.
And they laughed.
They laughed at that one.
You can ask yourself why.
There's lots of things I can't do.
But if you want a president, you need one.
She would be by far the best.
Scarborough had the great line.
You can do you can make her single.
And here's Mrs. Clinton's spade work line.
Now, this I guarantee, if I had said this, if Romney had said, if anybody had said this about Obama, the fur would be flying.
When they say to themselves, okay, I have a choice between a truly inspirational speaker who has not done the kind of spade work with the sort of uh experience that uh another candidate has.
Oh, folks, this is not, this is not coincidental.
I guarantee him to you.
Look at this is the bunch that depresses, suppresses black people in the Democrat Party from Maynard Jackson to Carl McCall to the Reverend Dax, hmm.
Uh to Al Sharpton, these are the people that when the blacks get too uppity, they get stomped down.
Hasn't done this.
That's right.
Spade work.
That's right.
Spade hasn't done the spade work.
Let's move on to some Republican sound bites.
This was fascinating.
This was uh last night after the Republican forum on Fox.
Frank Lunz, uh Republican hottie, by the way.
Uh you know, you would be amazed at a number of Republican women to think Frank Lunz, I mean they're dying for Frank Lunz.
Frank, you should know this if you don't.
I've heard from three or four of them.
He talked with New Hampshire voters in a focus group in a restaurant after the forum last night.
He said, first off, show a hands.
How many of you walked in here without a committed candidate?
Raise your hands.
Virtually everybody walked in without an un without a committed candidate.
Um here supporting Romney, raise your hands.
How many of you are going to leave here supporting Romney?
Nobody, maybe a couple hands went up.
The first question, practically everybody's hand went up supporting Romney, and the second question, uh, what is it that's so overwhelming?
Lunz asked the group.
What is it with Mitt Romney that he did today?
I think that he showed his qualities as an individual, being a very strong leader with very strong moral background.
His uh statement on pro-life is he came through through with conviction, where a lot of the other candidates did not.
Who did come through with conviction?
Huckabee.
Why not?
He waffled on the first question uh at least three, if not four times, couldn't come forth with a truthful answer.
How many thought Huckabee waffled the first response?
Did that have an impact in how you felt about him afterward?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
This is important because people formulate their point of view, their opinions, even within the first five minutes of the debate.
And if you make a blunder at the beginning, then they got a problem with you at the end.
Uh that's Frank Luntz.
Um he also went on in this and and uh asked about all the candidates.
Uh and it was clear that in these people's minds, Romney won the night, didn't like Thompson at all, which kind of surprised me because I thought it was Romney and Thompson last night that did the best.
Uh one person said, uh, look at we're not Iowans, and I'm not voting for a pastor here.
I'm voting for a president when asked about Huckabee.
But as I just said, the people in in uh in New Hampshire may not know who a real conservative is, uh, based on the new definition that I have now recently admitted to having seen the light.
Uh now, you're what was this first exchange of the debate that these uh these these focus groupers said that uh gave them problems with uh with Huckabee.
Uh basically we'd have to play the answer after the break, but uh Chris Wallace's question uh according to our study during your time, ten years as governor, you raised taxes, net increase of half a billion dollars.
So does Mitt Romney have a point when he talks about your record as a tax cutter?
Uh the bite runs about 59 seconds and it uh features an interchange between Romney and Huckabee, and we will get to that soon as the breaks over.
We'll be right back after this.
Don't go away.
Now think about it, it just is.
Folks, redefining hip on the the radio.
Rush Limbaugh from behind a golden EIB microphone.
All right, the Lunch Focus Group said that uh uh Huckabee blew the first question.
Uh didn't like it.
They said that he uh it is questioned and it didn't answer with uh with conviction.
Uh that he waffled on the first question at least three or four times, couldn't come forth with a true answer.
Here's the question from Chris Wallace.
According to your study, Governor Huckabee, or our study, during your time ten years as governor, you raised taxes, net increase of a half a billion dollars.
So does Mitt Romney have a point when he talks about your record as a tax cutter.
Government's supposed to work.
It's not about the politics of saying I never raised a tax, it's about saying I made government work.
And the fact is there were specific issues that I've been attacked for, sometimes pretty brutally on some of these television spots.
But I'm proud of the fact that I've governed and lowered taxes and did something that had never been done in my state and did it against the headwinds of a Democrat legislature that had never done it in a hundred and sixty years before.
Facts are stubborn things.
I think Mike Hute agreed that net net you raised taxes by half a billion dollars, is that right?
You know, Matt, let's talk about how stuff actually answered the question.
A billion dollars, not 240.
You came into office with a double.
I asked you a question with one.
Facts are stubborn things.
Let's get the facts right.
Okay, I came in there's a three billion tax cuts in two thousand and two.
You know, Mike, you make up facts faster than you talk, and that's saying something.
So let's slow it down and let's get the facts correct.
I asked you a question to begin with, and that was net net, did you raise taxes in your state by half a billion dollars?
We raised jobs, we rebuilt our roads.
You know, that's political speak.
Populist political speak.
We raise jobs, we build our roads.
The exchange continued uh this way.
Now let me go back to the question.
I've asked you that you've refused to answer three times.
Did you raise taxes net in Arkansas by a five hundred million dollars?
By a court order that said we had to improve education.
I maybe maybe you don't have to obey the court in Massachusetts.
I did in Arkansas.
And you know something?
Education is a good thing for kids because kids like me.
There's education is good.
End of answer there is no court order that makes anybody raise taxes five hundred million dollars.
For the children.
For the children, uh Dan in Burbank, California.
Great to have you with us, sir on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Russ.
Excuse me.
Uh I have to just say wow to some of the uh earlier callers' comments.
Um I'll comment very quickly.
I don't want to analyze them too much, but it seems to me that uh they're confusing what would be associated with evangelical values.
Conservativism conservatism, but unfortunately, uh maybe they're having a uh an identity politics crisis going on, unknowing uh unbeknownst to them.
And maybe a veiled attempt to just vote for an evangelical.
Uh, you know, obviously maybe people think that, but I just wanted to throw it out there.
Uh my real comment is this morning I resound absolutely with everything you said about the debate last night, and um I just think it was uh it was pretty obvious who um came out more conservative, who came out more uh clear and strong.
And uh I appreciate your your comments on the um uh the Clinton campaign as well.
I think I I just think uh contrary to those earlier callers, you have a bias that's more for the truth instead of you know a bias for identity politics or any of the above.
Uh no, wait, what which callers you talk with?
The Huckabee callers.
Yeah, I think they kind of got together like you said, and you know, decided to blow up your phone this morning.
But well, I th yeah, I can't blame them.
I mean, they they they uh they have the sense that they're candidates under attack, and I I can't blame them for calling here and trying to set the record straight.
And we give them the chance.
When uh when they get through, and nobody can accuse us of denying um the Huckabee supporters an opportunity to appear on the program.
One uh Dan, thanks for the call.
What one one thing about what Governor Huckabee said here in a recent soundbite that we uh that we just aired uh is I want to make government work.
Now that on one hand it can seem pretty innocuous.
But that to me was a red flag I'm not interested in government working.
I I'm interested in government getting out of the way.
That's how it works as far as I'm concerned.
I'm I'm I'm uh I'm just I'm not I'm not really into people who want to get involved in the process of government.
Uh one of the greatest process of government guys ever walked down the street was Michael Dukakis.
One of the greatest government process guys ever walked down the street was Bill Clinton.
One of the greatest government process guys to ever walk down the street was John Kerry the haughty uh Senator from Massachusetts who served in Vietnam the objective of making government work I can see how it might be positive if your objective is to get it to do less and to do it more efficiently.
Michael in Indianapolis welcome to the EIB network sir hello.
Hi Rush Hi this is just incredible I've been listening to you ever since you went on to uh Wham radio in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
So but Rush first of all I wanted to say for the record that you have never attacked Mike Huckabee.
I want to say for the record that you are not an entertainer are you there?
I'm here.
Oh okay you have changed my life I used to think that when you say you know on loan from God talent on loan from God that you were egotistical and everything.
After listening to you for four hours a day for four years I realize that there is real humility in that statement.
Thank you but it's three if you're getting four I want to know who's impersonating me in the other one.
Well I start listening to you at twelve o'clock on the uh computer and up until just recently in the Indianapolis they delayed the program so I listened to to you until four o'clock oh okay I get it so you got it again.
Yeah yeah so it it you've been very good for me.
Well I appreciate that I would never never never even think of telling you that you are wrong but no no but okay okay I do believe that in your analysis that you have made some mistakes and I apologize I had uh several screens up on my laptop and my battery died.
So I'm gonna have to go off of memory I would invite you and all of your listeners to go to Mike Huckabee dot com to two areas the truth squad and the issues area.
And like I said, I'm going off of memory now, okay?
But Mike Huckabee, as governor, they cut taxes, I think it was 94 times, eliminated the capital gains tax on the sale of a home, cut the capital gains tax rate.
The sales tax was 1% higher when he left office than when he came in.
You may have missed it moments ago when I endorsed Governor Huckabee's new brand of conservatism.
Tax increases, $500 million and so forth, net and that.
This is the new conservatism.
I've seen the light.
I understand that illegal aliens getting amnesty and tuition.
No, that's not true.
No, that's not true.
Well, you're destroying me here because this is the new conservatism.
Now, Rush, he never took it and promoted in-state tuition for immigrants.
illegals he proposed Taking a merit scholarship program and expanding it to students who had been raised in the Arkansas school system that they would be allowed to become part to receive a merit scholarship.
That program, had it been instituted, would have affected about 30 students.
It was not instituted.
The Club for Growth.
No, no, just listen.
So you realize no but that I'm getting emails from who is the Club for Growth?
What is the I mean, I happen to know what it is, but but you guys have got Club for Growth on the brain here.
Okay.
Well, the Club for Growth has run uh several ads against Governor Huckabee.
I'm sure you're you've seen the I haven't.
I haven't.
Okay.
I have not seen the Club for Growth's ads.
I've not read I know Stephen Moore, who heads up the Club for Growth.
Oh, Stephen Moore's not a Club for that's okay.
That's how much I know about it.
The guy I thought running it's been gone for two years.
His name's Stephen Moore.
What is he?
It's some think tank or something?
Well, he's a political library.
Started a new thing.
All right.
Well, then see, a good guy left the club for growth, and some bunch of perverts has taken over and attacking Huckabee and the new conservatism.
Okay.
First of all, would you do me a two favors, Rush?
Okay.
Number one, I think it would be very helpful for your listeners if you did a uh limbaugh letter and you know had your set of questions and asked each of the candidates and put their viewpoints right next to each other.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, we're making notes.
Then second thing I would like you to do is in a real clear, concise manner, and not the new conservatism, but your conservatism, lay out exactly what the conservatism is.
Hmm.
Uh you know, now that is interesting because see, I think I do that every day, but do I do it in list form?
Do I do it?
This is conservative.
I I I think I define it each and every day and I have for 19 years, 19 and plus years.
But if it needs to be done in a different format, a different way, I would be happy uh to to do it.
Uh it's that's what I try to do Friday.
Go back to the basics.
Because I think conservatism is uh is is being distorted, bent shaped, flaked and formed in ways here that if we're not careful, uh real conservatism is not going to be recognizable anymore because it's going to be redefined by all these people who are trying to say they are it when they're not.
As we mentioned earlier in the program, ladies and gentlemen, Bill Clinton out there blaming me for all the problems that his wife is having, along with the drive-by media, and it's been brought to my attention that Carl Golden, uh, New Jersey.com, a columnist, has said, you know, it's kind of interesting, Clinton blaming the media for supporting a black guy over his wife, and Limbaugh blames the media for propping up Donovan McNabb.
It's one and the same, but nobody's being critical of Clinton for doing this.
Clinton has me on the brain.
You know, he's upset.
He thinks the only reason people don't like Hillary is because I have been attacking her since uh she came on the national scene.
It could never be their problem.
It could never be.
It could never be the fact that her health care was a disaster, that she's not like it could never be that.
No, it has to be that the people's country are mind numb robots, and I hold sway over all of you.
Yeah, whatever I say, you happen to agree with and act on it.
We all know that's not true.
I spent the first half hour of this program trying to warn people about Senator McCain.
He's probably gonna win New Hampshire tomorrow.
Hope not, but he probably is.
What kind of sway do I have?
Uh Huckabee won Iowa.
Yeah, people are independent thinkers out there.
You're not mind number robots in this program.
The Clintons can't get that through their heads.
Yesterday reliable sources, Howard Kurtz talked with uh John Dickerson of Slate.com and asks him about Clinton's resentment Uh for me attacking his wife, causing Hillary's negatives to go down.
Yeah, I've picked up the resentment uh by the ton.
They have two main complaints about the press.
One is the point Bill Clinton was making, which is that everybody talks about her divisiveness uh as if it's a quality only she possesses and makes no mention, or they would say make no mention of the fact that Republicans have demonized her over the last many years.
And the second complaint that they've been making for quite some time is that Obama is not getting the kind of scrutiny that Hillary Clinton gets.
She cannot do anything without everybody jumping on her and and parsing it and talking about uh her various uh problems.
Right.
See, there is the complaint that's similar to uh uh this guy in New Jersey uh saying that uh Clinton blaming the media for going soft on Obama uh and yet getting away with it.
You know, this I I'll tell you, these people are starting to whine and moan.
I don't whine and moan.
If you talk about being vilified, mischaracterized, lied about, impugned, it's me and a whole bunch of people on our side by the Clinton machine.
Uh have we do we whine and moan about no, we laugh about it, and we roll on and we realize that our connection with our audience can overcome all of this.
These people, they actually believe uh, if if if this is if this is true, uh that the only reason Hillary Clinton's disliked because of me.
She has no part in this, and now they whine about it.
Uh on C-SPAN's Washington Journal this morning, Susan Swain, the host, spoke with Ray Buckley, who's a New Hampshire Democrat Party chairman.
Um she says, had a number of people calling concerned that if a Democrat's elected to office there'll be growth in entitlements.
What would you say to that?
The Republican uh sound machine obviously is getting their talking points out to their their callers.
Or people need to maybe turn a different channel uh instead of just being on Fox all the time or listening to Rush Limbaugh.
In fact, Federal Government has grown under George W. Bush.
It shrunk under Bill Clinton.
The deficit was erased under uh Bill Clinton and and we were actually uh going to paying off the deficit.
I wish I had more time here.
This guy is about 30 percent right in one thing he said.
Uh but overall, uh the idea that Democrats don't expand entitlements they all do, and we've got to do something about it.
But the uh nevertheless, this program and I remain front and center in the brains and the minds of all these Democrats when they find themselves in trouble and can't explain it.
They have to lash out.
You know, there's one exception to this that I can uh on the national scene that I can uh point to, and that is Obama.
You know, we've we've had our parody fun with Obama, and we've been critical of Obama on issues, and his staff's not out there whining and moaning and blaming and so forth.
They're out there laughing at it or ignoring it.
They're acting like adults.
The Clintons are out there acting, how dare you attack me?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who we are?
How dare you criticize me?
How dare you poison the American people against me and my wife?
I mean, the utter arrogance of that is breathtaking, but it is what it is, and it's something that we've come to expect and long ago recognized.
Folks, I meant to mention this earlier.
It just slipped my mind.
I have to be missing tomorrow.
I have to be off.
Uh my mother's best friend, Mary Francis Hunter Kinder passed away Friday night.
And the uh the funeral is in Missouri tomorrow, and I must go.
Uh so uh who we got tomorrow, H.R., who do we find?
