Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And once again, greetings to you, thrill seekers, music lovers, and conversationalists all across the fruited plain, the award-winning thrill-packed, ever exciting, increasingly popular, growing by leaps and bounds, Rush Limbaugh program here on the EIB network.
I am America's real anchor man, also known as America's Doctor of Democracy, also known as America's Truth Detector, all combined here at one harmless, lovable little fuzzball.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today.
800-282-2882, the email address, Ilrushbow at EIB net.com.
I have an announcement to make.
Apple corporate called.
Somebody from high up the corporate ladder at Apple Computer in California, out in Cupertino, called the office.
When did you get the message?
Was it uh when did they call it?
Late yesterday.
Late yesterday afternoon.
They say they called at 9 o'clock this morning.
Very, very, very nice guy.
I put my IT guy in touch with him, working, working at no, it was it was not Al Gore.
It was no, Mr. Snerdley.
It was it was not Al Gore.
I'm not going to mention the gentleman's name because the Mac user community that hates me will start bombarding this guy.
West Coast guy.
I mean, he called about 6 a.m. out there and said, I'm here now and uh and get back.
So our ET guy is uh is working with him.
That's cool.
That's cool.
I'm yes, it's official.
It's not a hacker.
It was official.
Don't start gumming up the works.
It was really true.
Also want to wish everybody happy Valentine's Day today.
There are more wacko stories on Valentine's Day today than I can remember in a long time.
There is an online resting place now for broken hearts.
New York City has a new condom campaign.
Uh and we have the audio of the of the uh of the little slogan, the ad that they're using here in New York City.
And we are, by the way, still here, high atop the EIB building in Midtown Manhattan.
Uh New Yorkers are being encouraged to get some on Valentine's Day.
Street teams handing out free condoms at busy hubs around the city today, including Times Square, Wall Street, and near uh City Hall.
Add campaign on TV, radio, and subways, and buses will soon begin featuring the catchphrase, get some.
Now it's a double entendre, but what they're talking about is get some condoms.
The city has made free condoms available for years.
Last year revamped the package with a distinct look to encourage usage.
A distinct look to encourage usage.
Since then, the city has been giving away three million condoms a month.
Up from one and a half million a month before the redesign.
Three million condoms a month.
That they're they're giving them out on the street.
Where the rubber hits the road, they are giving them out on the street.
Times Square, Wall Street, uh City Hall, uh places like that.
Now we got to go to the audio sound bites.
Because on Valentine's Day today, Meredith Vieira over at the Today Show, had Eve Ansler, the uh authorette of the Vagina Monologues, and Jane Fonda.
And we have had to bleep a word from this uh soundbite.
At the beginning, my most pressing concern was surviving saying the word or getting vagina out of my mouth in a little tiny theater way downtown.
And to think that this year we are now at in 1,500 places, there'll be 4,000 productions, all of which are going to end violence against women and girls is amazing.
Jane, you at first were not a big fan of the play.
So what turned you around?
I live in Georgia, okay.
I was asked to do a monologue called.
And I said, I don't think so.
I got enough problems.
She used the word.
She used the C word.
We bleeped it.
They did not bleep it at the today's show.
It made it on the air at the today's show, the C word.
Wow.
That's exactly that that is this is what I mean about what a Valentine's Day.
So here's Eve Ensler uh suggesting now in this in this sound bite that it uh it took a while.
Um at the beginning, surviving saying the word or getting vagina out of my mouth, she said.
Now it's running all over the place.
Fifteen hundred.
That's what she said.
Running all over the place out there, 1,500 places, 4,000 productions, all of which are going to end violence against women and girls, and how this is amazing.
Yet, in the next soundbite, she seems to contradict herself.
The uh Meredith Vieira question, yeah, but Eve, when this started him, it was really to celebrate sex.
The vagina monologues about sex, women's sexuality, and uh the women who would come up after the play would tell you very sad stories uh about abuse or about rape.
Uh, and that continued everywhere that you went.
After 10 years, I can fundamentally say that there is a global pattern, which I'm now calling femicide, and broadening the term to say that there is a global pattern that is systematically undermining, undoing, and desecrating women.
So your vagina monologue play is not working despite these 1,500 uh theaters and uh 4,000 productions.
It's not working.
There is femicide of isn't this?
I mean, you get up, let's say you're one of these people takes Valentine's Day seriously.
I frankly, you know, I'm as I've said this before, I'm not big on these commercial holidays where you go out and do something because society says you do it.
Uh you know, you don't you go out there special flower, special a lot of people are into that, but you know, it's kind of like conventional wisdom to me.
I I go the other way.
Um you get up, you hear Jane Conda using the Fonda using the C word, and you hear Eve Ensler talking about femicide out there, and all you're hoping is that you get a bouquet of roses from your lug husband.
Um maybe go to dinner somewhere.
So you and your husband, you and your boyfriends that are watching the Today Show together.
You got all these great plans today.
Uh here's the here is a um what do you mean you don't understand a condom remark?
What's not what what's oh come on Snerdley claims he doesn't know what she was saying?
You know what the C word is?
Well, uh it's Jane Fonda.
What you what are you looking for a point?
Why are you trying to make sense of this?
It's Jane Fonda.
What Jane Fonda said was in response to Meredith Vierra said, Jane, you you you were not a big fan of vagina monologues at first, so what turned you around on it?
Jane says, Well, I live in Georgia, okay?
That's probably what Snurder was.
What's that got to do with it?
Okay, uh I was asked to do a monologue called.
Uh, and I said, I don't think so.
I've got enough problems.
Uh, yeah, just you know, stick with hope and and Obama.
You start trying to understand Jane Fonda here.
It's not what we're playing it.
We don't play Jane Fonda sound bites because they make any sense.
All right, now here's here's a little excerpt, a portion of the uh new New York City condoms get some ad.
Okay, now CNN got into action on Valentine's Day last night from the male perspective.
Anderson Cooper 180 talking to their medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, about what happens to you if you take steroids.
The other thing I've heard about steroids is it makes your bits and pieces smaller.
Is that is that true?
I'm sorry, what was that again?
Never mind.
Some farm smaller.
Yeah, is that true?
Think of it like this, Anderson, with regards to steroids.
Basically, uh, you know, a man's testes basically produce hormones, testosterone.
If you're giving the testosterone, the testes will say, well, look, we don't have to produce it anymore.
We're already getting it somewhere else, so they will actually shrink.
All right, uh Sanjay, thanks.
Appreciate it, especially my last ridiculous question.
Uh-huh.
So that was um pre-Valentine's uh Valentine's Eve question from Anderson Cooper.
Uh obviously a playoff on the on the Roger Clemens hearings uh before Congress yesterday.
Uh Other news, it never fails.
Folks, it just never fails.
Jobless claims decreased last week.
This is an AP story.
It never fails.
The number of newly laid off workers filing claims for unemployment benefits fell last week by a larger than expected amount.
They are always shocked whether the news is good or bad.
Well, no, if the news is bad, the experts were right.
Every this hasn't changed in the last two years.
When there has been an unemployment report, the news contains the term larger than expected.
Surprising, shocking, yet they continue to use these same experts who are continually shocked and continually surprised by larger than expected numbers.
analysts had been expecting a slightly smaller decrease.
Plus, it's more sign, more indication the economy is not as bad as many people would love to have you believe.
All right, a quick timeout.
We'll come back and get started.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Snertley.
Snirdley, who gave me grief yesterday for sitting down with Time Magazine and Jay Carney and uh and doing the interview.
Remember, he said, Why are you consorting with the enemy?
And I said, I'm doing a McCain, except I'm not going to agree with him.
I'm learning.
I'm reaching across the aisle, but I'm coming back.
Snerdley just said to me in the IFB, great interview with Time.
It's on their website.
I don't think it's going to be in the magazine, is it?
It's just, it's some of it might make them.
Okay, well, it's on their website.
And we link to it at uh at Rush Limbaugh.com.
And Snerdly uh spent about an hour with Jack Steinberg of the New York Times yesterday afternoon.
It went swimmingly uh well too.
Well, I don't know when that one's coming out.
But uh they don't they don't either yet.
Uh but uh it went well too.
So yeah, yeah, good day yesterday.
Going to be a good day today, gonna be a good day tomorrow.
Gotta take a break now.
The EIB obscene profit center portion of the program, stay right where you are.
Quick, name the artist of this little ditty.
It's the Kinks and Ray Davies, who is still alive.
I pronounced him dead erroneously a couple years ago.
I thought he was.
Mark McKinnon is the former ad man for George W. Bush.
George McKinnon left the Bush administration uh midway through the uh second term, right?
2006.
Mark McKinnon joined as a Democrat, uh former Democrat, maybe still a Democrat, not sure about that, but he joined the McCain campaign as its ad man, uh image maker and so forth.
And Mark McKinnon has said, well, it is here in his own words.
He was on all things considered yesterday on NPR talking to the hostette, Michelle Norris.
She said, You you've said you would not work in a general election if Barack Obama is the opponent.
What why would you sit that out if you have such strong feelings for John McCain?
I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama.
It'd be uncomfortable for me, and I think it'd be bad for the McCain campaign.
Well, this he needs to be fired today.
This is this is this is mutiny.
McCain's ad man says he's not gonna not gonna run critical ads of Obama.
Just can't see himself doing it.
Uh in a presidential, it doesn't mean you have to be dirty, but the guy's got a record you can go after.
The guy is an earmark specialist.
He and Hillary Clinton have personally set earmarks records.
His his economic plan, he's he's he's spelling things out now and then.
He doesn't have much of a paper trail, but there are gonna be plenty of things to criticize this guy on, policy-wise, and McKinnon is just said, as McCain's ad man, he's not gonna do it.
Uh this is I you know I I keep changing my tune on the Democrat race anyway.
Today, uh I'm uh I'm not thinking it's gonna be uh Obama.
I I well, you know, gut instincts.
It just changed every day with new revolution.
New polls out today in Ohio and Texas, taken by uh Quinnipia.
Uh margin of error is 2.3%, I think in both of them.
And uh Hillary's way up in both polls, and she was three weeks ago, too.
Uh two, three weeks ago in both states, Ohio and Texas, she was way up.
These are firewalls.
But it's gonna come down these superdelegates, and there's a big battle there.
Uh I'm gonna I'm gonna explain that in due course as the program unfolds today, as well as the delegates from uh from uh Michigan and Florida.
The Reverend Sharptons weighed in and said there might be fires.
Bill Clinton might actually see his first black church burn, folks.
Uh if if they try anything funny on these delegates from Michigan and uh Florida is sharp and coming close now to coming out for Obama.
Uh but I just you know this I'm I'm relying more on human nature than the here's an interesting thing.
ABC's the note today.
So a lot of people have run the math.
The Obama people uh are thinking there's you know they're out there saying there's no way Hillary can catch up.
There's just no way.
But the the math, if she does well in Ohio and Texas, as these polls now indicate, and what?
Pennsylvania's on the 22nd, Ohio, or no.
What's in March?
What's March 4th?
Uh I guess Texas is next, and then Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Regardless, they're all coming up.
She's gonna take the month off.
She's gonna do a Rudy strategy.
She's taking this month off, she's waiting to Texas and uh and Ohio.
And uh so it says today.
Uh, but the the math works out in ABC's The Note today says it looks like it's very likely that neither Obama or Hillary will have the required number of pledged delegates wrapped up by the end of the primaries, which is gonna throw it then to the superdelegates, and of course, the uh coming uh uh raging debate and argument over the superdelegate, well, the delegates in uh in in Florida and Michigan as well.
Now, if this is true, if the if that math works out that neither of these two are gonna get the required number of delegates by the end of the primaries, then look out, folks.
That's where the Clintons go into gear.
Uh I just, you know, th they the only reason that she has put up with all that she has put up with for the last 35 years is this.
This not gonna let some upstart that nobody's got the guts to criticize, take it away from her.
He's young, he can have his time down the road.
This is mine.
It's mine, it's all mine.
And they're gonna do whatever they have to do in order to secure it.
We forget who these people are.
You know, we're looking here at Obama and we're seeing this.
By the way, we got a new Obama commercial.
The Obama people are big spenders here at the EIB network.
I'd say these are really effective commercials.
They really get to the point of the Obama campaign.
Some of the best media supporting a a candidacy in a campaign.
I mean, these ads are just in perfect symmetry with the uh with the campaign, and no slip-ups like in the Clinton campaign.
They're having arguments in there.
Big story today was the LA Times.
Wallst Wall Street Journal.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
You got Mandy Grunwald in there, apparently puts together the ads, and you got Mark Penn who polls things, and then you got some other guy in there, and they're playing uh potential television commercials that Hilly Hillary can run.
And somebody in the room says, that's horrible.
This is just worthless.
We can't run that.
And then somebody says, Well, it's never the message, is it?
It's never the message, meaning it's never our candidate is bobbling things up.
It's the ads, and in, well, I quit.
I'm I'm leaving the room.
They're having all kinds of arguments in there.
It's a lot of stress inside the Clinton campaign.
So we're told, is the Clintons.
It's the Clintons, and how would anybody know what's going on in these rooms unless Clinton people are yakking about it?
If Clinton people are yakking about it, Clinton people lie.
Right.
Exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Exactly.
Real life.
That's all we do on this program.
We are for the right now.
The future will take care of itself.
But somebody has to be for the right now.
And that's me.
Yesterday is what it was.
Tomorrow's what it's going to be.
Today is.
I am for is.
Rush Limbaugh for right now.
Somebody has to be.
Something very serious, if I may uh change the tone for a mere moment.
Yesterday, as you know, we were somewhat celebratory here.
Uh uh, and uh was it yesterday?
Yes, yesterday.
We were somewhat celebratory over the Senate Democrats caving on the new FISA bill uh that contained provisions to grant immunity to telecommunications companies who had previously cooperated with the government in efforts to surveil bad people uh who intend harm to the United States, i.e.
terrorists overseas.
The Senate passed it.
Uh the House of Representatives.
If what everybody is hearing turns out to be true, the House of Representatives will recess tomorrow without ever taking the bill up, meaning our intelligence capabilities will in in many, many ways cease to exist.
This is unconscionable.
This is not politics.
They're playing politics with this.
This is Pelosi, who is denying that the surge is working.
And by the way, even the New York Times today, this is so huge, big, far-reaching measures that have reconciliation with a written all over them.
In Iraq, the Sunnis and the Shiites are doing a Rodney King.
And they're getting along.
And who cares why?
You know, the drive-by's have been trying to say, well, it's only because the US U.S. military lucked out.
U.S. military lucked.
No, it has nothing to do with luck.
The surge caused this.
The surge has worked.
The surge has brought about this political reconciliation because it has limited the damage and busted up Al-Qaeda in Iraq, making it less attractive for Sunnis to associate with them.
They're also sharing oil revenues despite not having a law to share oil revenues.
So this is huge.
The surge has worked.
Pelosi just this week denied that it has worked on the basis of her political calculation that there's no reconciliation in the government, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Now they've taken up the FISA bill in the House by ignoring it.
Uh hearing from a lot of people that uh they're just gonna they're gonna recess tomorrow without taking it up, which would mean what?
It would mean the lapse of our surveillance authority at midnight tomorrow night.
At that point, we're back to going and getting warrants from the FISA court, which can take weeks.
Uh by the time we get the warrant to listen in, the conversation's over.
Uh this is not politics.
This is something that is it directly affects the national security of this country.
And the Democrat leadership in the House is responsible for this.
And but I I have to tell you, uh my buddy Andy McCarthy, National Review Online, is dead on right about this.
It's not just them.
They are following the lead in the House of the two Democrat presidential candidates.
Obama showed up vote on Tuesday for the FISA, but he voted against it.
He voted against renewing authority for surveillance.
Hillary didn't bother to show up.
But she has previously opposed it on other occasions.
So the House Democrats are right in line with the Senate Democrat presidential candidates, Obama and Hillary.
Uh this is a hanging curveball for Senator McCain.
This is Senator McCain pounds big time on the fact that he's the guy to protect the country, that he's the guy that's going to understand the threat the country faces and deal with it.
And he's not talked about this.
And time's running out to talk about this.
The president, this is a this is made to order on the campaign trail.
He was in Burlington, Vermont today, Burlington.
Is Burlington somewhere?
Um did a press conference after he made a speech.
He could have made a huge deal about this.
It's a batting practice softball is what this is, just waiting to be knocked out of the park.
Uh this this is not politics.
The Democrats are playing politics with it, but it isn't.
Uh this this is for grown-ups, and this is for real life.
Uh And I, you know, this is to me the essence of what this, you know, in many regards, the future of this country is all about, and who in the world is going to take uh this kind of thing seriously.
Now, I did hear a little bit of McCain today, and he might have addressed this.
I I I caught he got a question about human rights.
Um I don't think he did address it.
But he said, I look at I uh I'm for human rights, I have had mine denied.
I'm for human rights for the unborn, and I'm for human rights for the born.
Uh would have been an excellent opportunity to get into this fissure, because he showed up, he voted for it, he voted for it on Tuesday.
This is a great way to distinguish himself and to burnish his credentials, something he's been pounding uh for um for quite a while.
And it but they've got till noon tomorrow.
And if they if the this is like uh who's gonna blink first, we'll see.
But the Democrats in the House might be emboldened here because they're following the lead of their presidential candidates, and of course the Democrat presidential candidates and the eventual winner is gonna be the um the titular head of the party, which, if it's Hillary, is not gonna please Pelosi.
You know, the uh the Queen Bee syndrome will be in full force.
Drive by media, ladies and gentlemen, if uh two days later, still fascinated with my claim that I am actually the greatest asset Senator McCain has.
Because were I to endorse him, said I, it would send all the moderates and independents and the liberals that are supporting him scurrying away, such as their dislike, their hate, their loathing for me.
So this is being discussed still on the cable shows.
Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough had uh Mary Madeline on, a guest is on the phone.
Scarborough said, You do you agree with Rush that it's the moderates and not the conservatives that are really embracing McCain right now.
Rush is a genius.
He's a genius on philosophy, he's a genius on policy, but most importantly, the genius on being able to communicate difficult ideas and make them accessible to people.
And it bears repeating something the mainstream press doesn't seem to understand.
He reflects his audience, which is highly informed and active and curious, and they participate in this process.
He does not direct them.
If Rush did endorse him, then all the moderates and independents who don't listen to him and don't understand what he's about, would have a knee-jerk reaction.
He's just a genius.
And then she candy, she wasn't through.
She kept plowing on.
He's helping McCain in a very significant way, which is while McCain is regrouping and he had a really good start at CPAC.
You were there, Joe.
It was a great event.
And he did a great job starting to rally and unite and articulate core conservative principles and the policies that would flow from them.
Rush keeps informing people and making them understand what those principles are and the policies that would be better for this country.
So he's a huge help to McCain in every conceivable way.
The secrets getting out.
You know, the secrets once once the secrets out, it's not a secret.
Once you you say what you when you have a marketing plan, you don't tell people about it, because that prepares them.
You just execute it.
You I gotta come up with another marketing plan here to stay a couple steps ahead of the game.
Um they also discussed whether I'm secretly helping McCain on Chatsworth Osborne Jr. show on uh DNC TV.
He was talking to another guy, Joe uh Matthew Mathew, uh a radio host.
They had this exchange about Moi.
Rush Linbaugh, who I think is a really talented guy, witty guy, lost control of himself a couple weeks ago on the question of John McCain got hysterical and hissy on the air.
It would destroy the Republican Party if McCain's the nominee.
Now that McCain essentially is the nominee, here's what Rush Limbaugh is saying, which I don't buy for a second.
Quote, if I really wanted to torpedo McCain, I would endorse him because that would send the independents and liberals that are going to vote for him running away faster than anything.
What people don't realize is I'm doing McCain the biggest favor that could be done for him by staying out.
If I endorsed him thoroughly with passion, that would end the independence and moderates because they so despise me, they so hate me.
That is uh quite a narcissistic view of the electoral system.
It's all about Rush Limbaugh.
But do you think that's true?
I actually think there's a certain amount of truth to that.
Especially as Baby was just saying how important the independent vote will be for Senator McCain in a general election.
There you go.
So the radio hosts sets Chatsworth Osborne Jr. straight.
And well I'm not snurdly get See, this is the thing.
This this came up, this came up uh, I think last Friday.
Uh maybe it was it was Monday.
I I I went through a little riff here on all this criticism.
I don't take it personally.
You can't.
They're just too much of it.
Just I it it's I don't give people that kind of power over my feelings.
I am not going to sit here and take all this criticism personally.
I have been criticized over 20 years more than your average presidential candidate in one campaign cycle.
He can't take it personally.
So this little twit, according to Snerdley, it's what he called him in the IFB just now, called me narcissist.
And see, what happened?
That conversation, Dawn and everybody said, Oh, by the way, Dawn, I got Dawn sent me a humidifier.
They got so alarmed when I said that I was going to put a you know pot of boiling water on the stove here to keep the apartment humidified during the cold weather up here so I didn't lose my voice like I did last time.
They sent me a humidifier.
Uh Dawn did it, but she she signed Snerdly and Brian's name, so they don't know they had nothing to do with it.
Well, yeah, you bought donuts, but yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
So anyway, Snurdley.
They said last week when I was going through this riff about I don't take things personally.
Well, we take it personally for you.
And so he listens to Chatsworth Osborne Jr.
Uh call me a narcissist or narcissistic and ego driven, and demands that I respond to this.
How dare this little guy?
Snurdly is not.
I would have already been through the next soundbite by now if you hadn't interrupted me on this, and the audience will agree with me.
I get emails.
You tell Snurdly to quit interrupting you.
So um anyway, Chris Matthews, uh, let's see, he doesn't buy uh my McCain theory either.
Uh this is what he said.
Is Rush Limbaugh actually John McCain's best buddy secretly?
His saving grace, his biggest booster, sort of, at least according to Rush himself.
Here he is, the man on the radio.
If I really wanted to torpedo McCain, I would endorse him.
If I wanted a torpedo McCain, I would because that would send the independents and liberals, they're going to vote for him running away faster than anything.
What people don't realize is I'm doing McCain the biggest favor could be done for him by staying out of this.
If I endorsed him thoroughly with passion, that would end the independents and moderates, because they so despise me and they so hate me.
I like the way he lowered his voice there.
They so despise me.
Anyway, still something tells me that John McCain right now would gladly like nothing more than a Rush Limbaugh, big fat endorsement.
So Chris Matthew is not buying my secret plan.
Uh here is, and neither did Chatsworth Osborne Jr.
Um more before we go to the break.
This is uh John King.
Is this right?
Well, it was their CNN's election center.
Anchors Campbell Brown, and uh there's a panel discussion now, but Larry Elder, Jeffrey Tubin, and John King about me and McCain.
And Campbell Brown says, you know, the talk radio issue, there there is enormous anger coming from that crowd toward McCain.
Are they that influential?
I just think the talk radio thing is more a symptom of the personality disorders of the talk radio host.
Rather than not present company excluded.
whether it's John McCain or a Democrat in the White House.
They're trying to show how important they are rather than trying to affect the policy debate.
I don't think they matter.
The conversations are already underway.
Friends of Rush Limbaugh who are friendly with John McCain.
They started the conversations.
They are beginning the quiet diplomacy with them.
You watch John McCain's going to show up on those shows over the next several weeks and months.
Oh, now there's this is this happening, H.R. Snurdley is no doubt, after listening to this bite, seething over Jeffrey Tubin, saying just trying to show how important they are rather than trying to affect a policy debate.
See, he I'm I don't know if Tubin read the time piece, but even if he reads a time piece, he will ignore what I said and stick with his narrative and template, which is 180 degrees wrong.
John King, what did he say here?
Uh conversations are underway.
Uh Friends of Limbaugh, friends with McCain have started the conversations.
They're beginning quiet diplomacy.
I can tell you, ladies and gentlemen, if this is happening, I am unaware of it.
Well, it's possible we've been infiltrated.
And there might be people claiming to be my friends who aren't.
My friends talking to McCain's friends.
I don't know, but I don't know anything about it.
One more thing on McCain.
I'm going to grab a phone call quickly here.
George Skelton, uh, who writes for the LA Times from Sacramento.
Uh headlines really all you need to hear in this LA Times story.
Heading starboard could sink McCain in California.
Going left was the most promising route in California.
McCain better stay to the port.
If he goes starboard, if he embraces limbaugh, it's over.
In California.
But uh the point.
So either if I come out, let's say I went up to California, I got reasons to go there.
Let's say I called a press conference, I endorsed McCain.
That would kill him in California.
Because the independents and Democrats are going to vote for him, not now.
Not that Limbo is on his side.
No way.
It could be fun.
Kurt in the East Bay of San Francisco.
Hi, nice to have you on the program, sir.
Oh, thanks, but that's Megadiddos from the California Republican.
Thank you, sir.
Um I have uh two points.
Um, for one of the few times that I know of since listening to your show, conservative talk radio and most of the mainstream media have a common goal, and that is the demise of the Clintons and Hillary Clinton's presidential run.
Um that's my first point.
And the second point is a few years ago you said that candidates that Bill Clinton endorses generally lose.
I'm gonna hang up and listen to you reply.
Thanks, Rush.
I did say that.
Well, what do you want to know about that?
Well, that's a fastest hang up of somebody who wasn't mad that I can remember.
Um he doesn't help.
Look, he hadn't helped her.
Created all kinds of problems in South Carolina.
Now he's back at Walkershaw, Wisconsin.
Uh, and it didn't look happy in the crowd.
Uh, as to the drive-by's and talk radio being on the same page, anti-Hillary.
I'm I'm not made up my mind on that.
I uh in terms of if you're gonna express a preference on the Democrat side, who would you rather run against, and then who would you rather have as president?
Obama or Hillary.
So I know that there's a lot of people who would just celebrate the demise of the Clintons whenever it happens.
The sooner the better.
Get them out of here.
It would be it'd be happy days.
Uh the drive-by is may like Obama right now, but I will guarantee you, if Hillary becomes a nominee, the Love Fest will kick back in gear full speed ahead because they're not gonna end up touting our side.
I don't care, even if McCain's the guy.
All right, folks, look at me.
This is what it's gonna come down to.
The Democrat fight.
It's gonna come down to who are the bigger racists.
Democrat delegates or Democrat superdelegates.
