Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Okay, testing, testing, one to that.
Sounds good.
Excellent.
Greetings, my friends, and welcome.
It's the Rush Limbaugh program, and this is the EIB Network.
And we've got three hours of broadcast excellence for you straight ahead.
The telephone number, if you want to be on the program today, 800-282-2882.
And the email address is illrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I have come down, folks.
This one, we're not using a DittoCam today.
There's nothing wrong with it.
It's just I have come down with this respiratory flu that has been going around.
And I am blowing my nose.
I'm sucking on one of these throat losses.
This is Zycam Airborne Antibiotics.
I'm throwing everything I can at this.
I went to Augusta yesterday to play Augusta National with some friends.
It was cool.
Great time.
We actually went up Saturday afternoon, Saturday afternoon.
Had dinner up there and played Sunday.
Got back around, I guess, 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
And I was just exhausted.
I went to bed at 9 o'clock last night.
4 o'clock, I woke up.
And the tightness and the, I mean, when I coughed, I felt like I was being stabbed with a knife, all that tight congestion.
So I went and fired up the steam room.
Got in there, tried to loosen it up and so forth.
And anyway, this place is a mess in here today.
And so please forgive me, those of you on the Ditto Cam, we're not going to turn it on today.
For those of you, excuse me, hacking cough too.
For those of you who watch the program, it'll be truly theater of the mind today.
It looks, folks, like my strategery may be working.
I'm getting the sense that Hillary's starting to pick up a little steam out there.
Depending on the polls that you look at, you can see that it's a dead heat with some polls in both Ohio and Texas.
And the Ohio poll, which conducted between February 28th and March the 2nd, that would be yesterday, has Hillary got nine points, 51 to 42 of Democrat primary voters.
Obama has erased Clinton's once double-digit lead in Texas, but Mrs. Clinton has held on to her advantage in Ohio, and she says she's only getting warmed up.
She's not getting out of this.
Howard Wolfson says they got 16 states to go after Super Duper Tuesday tomorrow.
We've got a lot more on this, the whole Democrat campaign.
And the New York Times has once again turned on John McCain.
Yes, I told you so.
This is by Elizabeth Bue Miller.
On signature issues, McCain has shown some inconsistencies in the Senate.
Really?
Really, really, really.
We said all of this.
I've been pointing this out throughout all the early primaries on this program.
Now the New York Times says it after he gets the nomination.
This demonstrates how the media manipulate the news.
They wanted McCain to be our nominee.
They chose our nominee.
They wanted him to be our nominee.
They ignored his switches on positions.
We talked about them all the time.
Now that he will be the nominee, they raised these issues in hopes of helping him against the Democrat.
This has shown some inconsistencies in the Senate is the headline.
So, I don't know, just pointing it out to you here, folks.
I also want to go to the audio soundbites.
We've got a lot today, and I may use them to deal with the unprofessionalism of having to hit the cough button at random moments.
You had this thing, Snertly, didn't you?
This is going around.
It's really bad up in the Northeast.
But anyway, these coughing spasms come out of nowhere.
And so I may have to hit the cough button here, folks, and miss it by a split second.
So please bear with me.
Laura Ingram asked me Friday afternoon to appear on her.
She was hosting O'Reilly, and she wanted me to appear that night, and I couldn't do it live because I had get out of here Friday afternoon.
So we taped it at about 3.15 and went for two segments.
And it's a phoner interview.
But I don't know how many people watch cable TV on Friday nights.
I want to play a couple of sound bites from this interview.
She first started off by saying, Rush, I understand the Rush Nimble audience is mobilizing in Texas for Hillary.
Am I hearing that right?
I don't know if the audience is mobilizing or not.
I am urging people.
I'm using a phrase to Republicans.
I mean, our nominee's chosen.
It's John McCain.
Texas is open.
I want Hillary to stay in this, Laura.
This is too good a soap opera.
We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically, and it's obvious that the Republicans are not going to do it and don't have the stomach for it.
As you probably know, we're getting all kinds of memos from the RNC saying we're going to be critical there.
Mark McKinnon of McCain's campaign says he'll quit if they get critical of Obama.
This is the presidency of the United States we're talking about.
I want our party to win.
I want the Democrats to lose.
They're in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now.
It is fascinating to watch, and it's all going to stop if Hillary loses.
So, yeah, I'm asking people to cross over and if they can stomach it.
I know it's a difficult thing to do to vote for Clinton, but it will sustain this soap opera, and it's something I think we need.
It'd be fun, too.
And so she says, well, now, Rush, don't you think it's interesting that there are all these attempts to intimidate critics of Obama, intimidate them from speaking out, from making comments about his substance or lack thereof or his empty rhetoric, any kind of that?
Of course, McCain has kept an arm's length distance, to put it kindly, with Talk Radio.
See, this is another reason why we need Hillary to stay in.
Who started all this stuff?
Who was the first person that leveled the charge that Obama may not be black enough?
This is stuff we can't say, Laura.
This was started by an L.A. Times columnist who is black.
Who was it that first used Obama's middle name of Hussein?
It was not us.
It was Bob Kerry over and over again, former Democrat Senator Nebraska.
Who was it that talked about Obama not just using drugs, as he admitted in his book, but maybe even selling them and dealing them?
It was Shaheen, Clinton's co-chair in New Hampshire.
All of this stuff, the middle name, the drug dealing, the drug selling, the picture of Obama in the turban, all of this has come from the Democrats, not us.
And the MO is that if somebody on the Republican side starts using his middle name, why, there's a foul.
There's a violation.
But this is, you know, Obama can't get away with this.
He doesn't want to be called a liberal.
He doesn't want his middle name to be used.
And pretty soon, what's going to happen is if we don't shut up or speak up about this, the Democrats are going to get away with telling Republicans what they can and can't say to the point that we're not going to be able to say anything.
And this is my great fear that people aren't going to have the guts to be critical of Obama on the serious things he deserves to be criticized for, such as his absolute ineptitude and danger on foreign policy, just for one example.
So that was Friday night on the O'Reilly factor, me guesting with Laura Ingram.
Now, let's go to the Obama.
Oh, by the way, Mahmoud Ahmadinezad is back.
He's in Iraq.
And he today dismissed U.S. accusations that his country is training extremists and demanded that the Americans withdraw from Iraq, which is right out of the Obama campaign.
Once again, the president of Iran utters Democrat Party talking points, Mahmoud Akhmadinizad, spoke at a nearly hour-long conference at the end of his visit, and he said that U.S. allegations that Iran's training Shiite militants who target American troops and Muslim rivals don't matter to the Iranians.
Of course, American officials make such remarks and such statements, and we don't care because they make statements on the basis of erroneous information.
We can't count on what they say.
Anyway, he's urging the U.S. to get out of Iraq just as the Democrats are.
So once again, our enemies line up with the Democrat Party.
Back after this, stay with us.
And greetings and welcome back.
Rushland bought talent on loan from God.
Now, according to the snack of stuff that came together today as I was prepping the show, there are lots and lots of stories in the Democrat stack about Obama's misstatements, his incompetence, his inexperience, and it's legendary.
It really is.
And then there are also some stories about women, Democrat, liberal women, and how mad they are and how upset they are.
Not only has feminism screwed him up, so is Hillary.
There's misery out there on the Democrat side.
There really is.
It's not reported this way, but trust me, there is.
And again, it's another reason why we hope that Mrs. Clinton survives Ohio and Texas and continues to move on.
Now, one of the items they talked about last week, and we were unable to confirm it last week.
Now it has been confirmed.
During the debate in Ohio, last Tuesday night, Obama, to try to placate and pander to people who are having economic problems in Ohio, promised to get rid of NAFTA, promised to tear it up.
Hillary said, well, I won't do that, but I'll renegotiate it.
It was obvious, the pandering.
Then we learned last week that Obama, or one of his advisors, actually called somebody in Canada and said, no, that's just campaign rhetoric.
We're not going to do that.
You guys are our friends, and we know that.
The Canadian TV network, CTV, reported this.
Everybody involved denied it.
Now it turns out that it's true.
Thomas Lifson has it here at the American Thinker, and our old buddy Ned Repickler at the AP is a contributor.
Now, here's the thing.
And this is, we've got a long time to go here.
We've got a long time to chip away at Barack Obama.
But as I said last week, it's going to be really touchy doing this.
It's, I mean, obviously, the people on our side are not going to vote for Obama anyway.
So simply talking to them about what's wrong with the guy is not going to have that much impact because our side is not going to vote for him anyway.
But the problem's going to be separating Obama from his faithful, not his voters, his followers, his faithful.
And the wrong criticism is going to lock them to him even tighter.
Now, I'd love to tell you about this stuff, and I'm going to tell you about it.
And there's, by the way, this Rezco land deal, I got John Fund wrote about it today.
Robert Novak wrote about it today.
And they're all talking, it's going to be big.
It's going to be huge.
It's going to be big.
It may, but who's going to bring it up?
Hillary hasn't been able to make hay out of it.
You think the drive-bys are going to bring it up?
They couldn't care less.
But more than that, you think Obama's faithful give a rat's rear end about the Tony Rezcoe deal and how Obama bought his house?
You know, it strikes this is the kind of thing that we tried with the Clintons back in 1992.
All of the character defects, the lying.
It didn't matter.
It really didn't matter.
People were just so, I don't know.
Hang on a minute.
Sorry for the dead air.
Dead Air never hurt anybody except small stations automation equipment.
It just people didn't care about it.
When we tried pointing out the character flaws of Clinton, it just didn't matter.
Now, this stuff with Obama is far more serious, and I'm not minimizing how bad the Clinton stuff was, but this is worse.
This guy is actually incompetent.
He is clueless.
And he's got a Clinton problem in that he will just change a story on a dime and make it sound like everybody else heard him wrong the first time.
Now, here are the details on this Canadian situation.
I'm going to read it to you as Thomas Lifson writes it up at the American Thinker.
The man who tantalizes the unhappy voter with promises of change may be discovering that his diplomacy stuff may be a little more difficult than it looked.
After threatening the NAFTA treaty while pandering to Ohio voters facing declining manufacturing employment, the Obama camp was blindsided by a report from the Canadian TV network that his campaign had privately reassured Canadian officials previously that he wouldn't really change NAFTA no matter what was said on the trail.
It would just be a northern version, what the late Senator Patrick Moynihan called boob bait for the Bubbas.
The Obama campaign denied such a meeting.
The Obama campaign told CTV late Thursday that no message was passed to the Canadian government that suggests Obama does not mean what he says about opting out of NAFTA if it's not renegotiated.
But however, see, the problem here is it turns out that diplomats take notes.
They often write up memoranda when they meet with people like campaign advisors to a leading presidential campaign in the U.S.
This is something that apparently didn't occur to Obama or his campaign.
So now that such a memo has turned up, widely circulated among the Canadian diplomatic corps, Team Obama is saying that those stupid Canadians weren't able to understand that their advisor, what their advisor really meant.
Here's Ned Ripickler at the AP.
Barack Obama's senior economic policy advisor said yesterday that Canadian government officials wrote an inaccurate portrayal of his private discussion on the campaign's trade policy in a memo obtained by the AP.
The memo is the first documentation to emerge publicly out of the meeting between the advisor Austin Goolsby and officials with the Canadian consulate in Chicago, but Goolsby said it misinterprets what he told them.
The memo was written by Joseph DeMora, who works for the consulate and attended the meeting.
So, anyway, Goolsby disputed a section that read, noting anxiety among many U.S. domestic audiences about the economic outlook in America, Goolsby candidly acknowledged the protectionist sentiment that has emerged, particularly in the Midwest, during the primary campaign.
He cautioned that this message should not be taken out of context, should be viewed as more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans.
This is what Obama's advisor wrote, essentially saying, don't listen to us on this.
This is his campaign posturing.
Goolsby said of DeMora, this thing about it's more about political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans.
That's this guy's language.
He's not quoting me.
I certainly did not use that phrase in any way.
So if we believe this version of the Obama campaign's story, then we have an important Obama advisor creating a seriously false impression in the diplomatic core of our largest trading partner, telling them that they didn't understand is not an excuse.
Diplomats are supposed to be in control of their message.
Here's the bottom line to all this.
If Team Obama is capable of screwing up relations with Canada, a country very much similar to us, a country that knows us best, that has the biggest stake in the health of our economy and continuing goodwill, imagine what kind of havoc would be created when dealing with the likes of the Russians, the Chikoms, the Syrians, or the Palestinians.
So, and by the way, Obama knows he's going to get a pass on this.
I mean, even though Nedra Pickler has weighed in on it, I'm starting to hear things from people that I heard back in 1992 during that presidential campaign.
How come none of this stuff is sticking?
Why is it it's sticking, Rush?
This is big stuff.
It's not sticking because it doesn't matter to his supporters.
It doesn't matter to his followers, not yet.
It doesn't matter to his faithful.
It's going to matter to a lot of people, but right now, these people you see at the rallies are unaffected by this.
We've got to keep chipping away at this stuff, but it's got to be done the right way.
Can't be overdone.
Can't wear people out with it.
Mark in Houston, I'm glad you called, sir.
You're next on the E.I. Actually, up first today.
Great to have you here.
Yes.
Go right ahead.
Oh, he's gone.
Where are we headed now?
Elmhurst, New York.
This is Eileen.
Hi, Eileen.
Nice to have you here.
Hello?
Yes.
Hi.
Yes.
Am I going to be on?
You're on now.
Okay.
Turn your radio down there, Eileen.
That's your problem.
Okay.
Certainly, if you don't start telling these people to turn on their radios, you are in big, big trouble today.
Just kidding, folks.
People get mad when I berate the staff publicly, even though I never do.
Yes, Eileen, what's shaking?
Hi there, Rush.
I totally disagree with this strategy.
You are setting up a Quentin-Obama reconciliation ticket.
You're going to get two of the most immoral, unscrupulous Clintons back in unchecked power, and we are going to be screwed.
We're already screwed.
What we have to do is limit the being screwed to as small a screwdriver as it can be.
And here, here's the thing.
The strategy is not to have these guys win.
They may form a fusion ticket at some point down the road.
Do you understand what the purpose of the strategy is?
Yes, to keep Clinton in.
To keep Quentin in.
But you think they're going to claw their eyes out.
Yes, the strategy is to continue the chaos in this party.
Look, there's a reason for this.
Our side isn't going to do this.
Obama needs to be bloodied up.
Look, half the country already hates Hillary.
That's good.
But nobody hates Obama yet.
Hillary's going to be the one to have to bloody him up politically because our side isn't going to do it.
Mark my words.
It's about winning, folks.
Hi, welcome back.
I look at, folks, understand out there, many of you worried here about my strategy.
I don't even know if it's going to work.
I don't know how many Republicans tomorrow in Texas are going to cross over and vote for Hillary.
I don't know if it's happening in Ohio either.
I'm not urging.
It sounds like I'm urging action, but you know, I don't give marching orders here.
I'm just thinking aloud and telling you what I think is important to happen here.
If either one of these two get the nominee, one of them is going to get it.
It's either going to be Barack Obama or Hillary.
They're both ripe targets if we just don't run around and act afraid of them.
And if we don't try to steal their voters.
I mean, that's at the expense of our own.
Anyway, that's for later on down the line.
There's a great piece today in the American Spectator online.
It's by Mark Hyman.
And it's entitled A Coming Brokered Democrat Convention.
He has gone through the delegate math here.
By the way, I'm going to have to say this all day.
The Ditto Cam is not on on purpose because I am sick.
I'm sitting here with a respiratory flu, and this place looks like a hospital room, and I don't want anybody to see it.
Everything's fine and hunky-dory.
It says at the top of the webpage where you have to go to log on to the Ditto Cam, and it's not on.
It doesn't say why.
The answer is I'm not feeling well, and I just, you know, don't want Kleenex and all this stuff flowing around the room.
You never know what's going to happen here when you have the flu.
So it's it.
I'll mention this a couple more times because the email's pouring in and asking about it.
Coming brokered Democrat convention.
There's only one thing the public can be certain of regarding a Democrat presidential nomination.
Without a miracle, there will be a brokered convention.
Senator Obama was leading Senator Clinton in a delegate count going into Super Tuesday 2 primary elections on March 4th.
Obama held 1,193 primary delegates to Hillary's 1,038.
The status of the superdelegates is meaningless because their pledges today may not carry any meeting come the Democrat nominating convention in Denver during the last week of August.
Now, a Democratic candidate needs to reach a minimum of 2,025 delegates to clinch the nomination outright.
Clinton will not reach that figure before the last primary election is held in Puerto Rico on June 7th, but neither will Obama, says Mr. Hyman.
He needs 832 more delegates to reach the magic number of 2025.
There are only 981 remaining primary delegates that are up for grabs.
370 delegates will be decided on March 4th.
611 will be divvied up across 12 primaries between March 8th and June 7th.
So Obama would have to win an astonishing 85% of the remaining 981 delegates in order to claim the Democrat nomination outright.
There are no winner-take-all primaries for the Democrats.
Obama will never get the needed 832.
He may fall short of reaching 2025 by as many as 250 delegates.
And we're not factoring again the superdelegates here because, by the way, apologize, the breathing pattern, I'm trying to avoid coughing.
So if that's, I hope this stuff doesn't irritate you too much.
But, folks, I couldn't stay home in bed today.
I mean, this is the eve of Super Duper Tuesday 2.
Anyway, as Mr. Hyman says, neither Obama nor Clinton will tally the needed 2,025 delegates when the primary election season is completed.
They'll have 11 weeks between Puerto Rico's primary election on June 7th and the convention on August 25th to persuade superdelegates to support their candidacy.
And a lot can happen in 11 weeks.
It'll be horse trading, influence peddling, cajoling.
Could be a real knife fight at the end.
Layer on top of this real-world events.
Everything from the economy, Iraq, terrorism, damaging revelations of the ties between Obama and Tony Resco.
The land developer currently under federal indictment could greatly influence the superdelegates' commitment.
Still, the only date that really matters for the superdelegates is the day they cast their ballots in late August.
Now, let's go to the audio soundbites on this.
Let's go 26 and 25.
Because now there's talk of redoing the Florida Democrat primary.
And getting some of that talk started is none other than Florida's governor, Charlie Crist.
He was on with a late edition yesterday with Wolf Blitzer.
Blitzer said, let's talk about the Democrats first.
1.7 million Democrats or so voted in the Democrat primary, but that vote's not going to be counted in your state.
Are you, as the governor, ready to let the Democrats have another primary, if necessary, to seat those Democrats, those Democrat delegates at the convention in Denver?
That'd be fine with me.
I think it's very important, though, that those delegates are seated.
And I'm hopeful that the National Democratic Party, the Democratic National Committee, comes to the conclusion it's the right thing to do.
Every vote must count.
Every vote should count.
And for the Republicans as well, they're not counting half of ours.
Whoa, so here's Charlie Crist.
I think Charlie Christ is Governor Christ, perhaps, may be a stealth practitioner of the limbo strategy here.
Do you not think so, Mr. Stergley?
There is no question Charlie Christ doesn't want this Democrat contest to end.
There's no question that Charlie Crist wants, and now Howard Dean raised in.
He was on the same show.
And here's Wolf Blitzer.
You heard Governor Chris just tell me moments ago that he's ready to go ahead, support a redo here in Florida.
Are you ready to accept his offer right now?
That's a very helpful thing for him to say because money is an issue here.
Look, there's two possibilities.
One is that there would be such a redo as Governor Christ might suggest.
And two is that the party would come and have some other alternative that they would try to push to their credentials committee.
But we're very willing to listen to the people of Florida.
Whoa!
Howard Dean here, a little gasoline on the fire, opening up the possibility that Florida pays for it, that they'll have another Democrat primary here.
Now, you might be, but rest the rules, the rules, the rule.
Folks, let me tell you something I learned over the weekend.
This is an important distinction.
In the Democrat Party, there are no rules.
They're just traditions and customs.
There are no rules in a knife fight.
So, let's not play Civics 101.
Let's not play junior high school senior class president election.
There are no rules.
There are traditions.
There are customs in the Democrat Party.
What are you talking about?
Stop and think about it.
If you want to break the rules, talking about, hey, you people in Florida, you blew it.
You people in Michigan, you blew it.
You violated Democrat Party rules.
Party really didn't have any rules.
This was a tradition that they bucked.
This is a tradition.
They went against the party's request.
But now we see that we can't disenfranchise Democrats from two major states in the country.
So the tradition that every vote must count, the custom that delegates from every state will be seated, will now be employed with no rules being broken.
You see how easy this is?
I mean, we're talking J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen here on one side, Hillary's J.R.
And we got Cliff Barnes and his family on the other side.
That's Obama.
Once you take the ethics out of this, as J.R. said once, the rest is easy.
To the phones, quickly, Champaign, Illinois.
Pat, welcome to the program.
Oh, how are you doing?
Good, sir.
Thank you.
First time I heard your show.
What, today?
Yeah, I was just hitting scan on the radio and I came across you.
I'm a pretty big liberal out of Illinois, but you hooked me with what you said about McCain and how you said that it was somehow manipulated by the media to present him as a candidate.
And that's how I feel about Hillary and Brock, where it was just some kind of watered-down ploy to get those two candidates as the head of the frontrunners for the Democratic Party.
And now, why would the head of two parties that are going to run for president?
Why would both sides feel that their candidate is somehow weak-willed and not the best presentation to run for office?
I'm not sure I understand your point because my illness is not your fault.
It's my ability to concentrate.
Okay.
I'm not sure.
Are you blaming the media for picking the nominees of both parties?
Yeah, I think we're going.
I'm not happy with Brock.
I need another question.
Are you a liberal?
Yeah.
Okay.
You're a Liberal Democrat hearing the program for the first time today.
Do you like or not like Hillary or Obama as either your nominee?
No, I don't like him.
What about you?
Like McCain or not?
I don't like McCain either.
I'm just, you know, look, grown up, liberal, I'm not going to jump over to give a conservative vote until I see a good candidate from their side.
But I'm just surprised.
Let me know when you find one, will you?
Because I'd like to join him.
I'm surprised to hear that McCain's not the candidate that the conservatives want.
I know that he's been weak-willed and pretty liberal in his Senate votes, but I'm surprised to feel that both candidates on both sides of the lines.
I think more people are just jumping on Brock and Hillary's bandwagon because they're upset with Bush's policies.
That doesn't mean they're good candidates.
That just means they want change in the office.
So how are we stuck with two parties, but not a good candidate from either one?
Either, I mean, who parties need to rapidly?
All right, well, then let me help you, Pat, here.
We have three senators running.
And I ought to tell you, we haven't elected a senator as president in this country since 1960.
Now it looks like we're not going to have a choice.
We're going to get a senator.
And those people are megalomaniacal.
They have egos like you cannot believe.
There's only 100 of them, and they all think they should be president.
Now these three are out there acting like they should be, and they're running for the office.
But, you know, senators, they're a different breed than governors.
They're not executives.
They don't delegate things.
I mean, they delegate things within their staff, but they are very, very, very hands-on because of their ego and their power.
And like a governor, for example, hearing about problems at the DMV is not going to go down there and give them a lecture or a pep talk and say, look, I'm getting them here.
He's going to send somebody from the office, from the Department of Transportation, to go down to DMV and say, shape up.
A senator will go to the DMV.
So they're especially an Obama or Clinton.
They'll not only go to the DMV, they'll go to the emissions test center to see if you're polluting the planet and destroying global warming, and they will do it themselves.
But I think one of your reactions here, they're all three coming from the Senate.
I mean, here I go.
I'm just jumping in more and more.
Every time I open my mouth on this, well, somebody name for me.
Somebody named for me the last United States senator that inspired a national movement on anything.
So anyway, folks, the bottom line here, according to Mark Hyman, American Spectator Online, at all these primaries, his beauty contests, neither one of these two can win the delegates necessary by the end of the campaign season, which is June 7th in Puerto Rico, and then the real fund's going to begin after that.
And he addresses, he says, there's no question the Democrats are going to find a way to seat these delegates from Florida and Michigan.
If Hillary has to go to court, she's going to do it.
That's absolutely right.
This is all she's lived for.
All these news stories, who's going to tell Hillary to get out?
There's a news story out there today.
Who's going to tell Bill to tell Hillary to get out?
They're not going to get out.
And if she wins one of these two states tomorrow, look out, folks.
Media is starting to get a little tougher on Obama.
Now, this is going to be fascinating to watch.
I'm telling you, this is, I think, an excellent point.
And of course, all this is good, if you ask me, because it keeps the party full of chaos and tumult.
By the way, Barack Obama's recorded a tune has asked us to play it here on the EIB network.
That is white comedian Paul Shanklin as Barack Obama.
And I'm not ashamed of my middle name.
For those of you youngsters out there, that's a takeoff of Ain't That a Shame by the great Fats Domino from New Orleans.
Now, this is about, of course, the warm-up act at the McCain rally in Cincinnati.
Bill Cunningham went out there and using the middle name of Obama.
And media.
And McCain.
And everybody had a conniption fit.
How outrageous everybody caterwalled.
How unprofessional.
We're not going to sit here and demean the honor of this campaign.
Blah, Stumping for Clinton, Gloria Steinem says that McCain's POW credential is overrated.
Yes, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, one of the original feminazis, took the time to stump on Hillary Clinton's behalf in Austin, Texas recently, quickly prove that she has lost none of her taste for provocation.
She's 73 now, and she's up there on the stage.
She said the importance, and she did, she denigrated the importance of McCain's time as a POW in Vietnam.
In an interview with the New York Observer afterwards, she suggested that Barack Obama benefits and Clinton suffers because Americans view racism more seriously than sexism.
All right, now, have you seen any outrage over this?
Okay, so we've got a candidate whose middle name is Hussein.
People use it and all hell breaks loose.
That's right, Mithril Limbaugh, because you know why.
You know why, Mithril Limborthan attempt to inflict racism and anti-religious bigotry into the camp.
Oh, it's his middle name for crying out loud.
There comes Gloria Steinem attacking our candidate's POW time, denigrating it, saying they didn't credential him.
And by the way, I predicted this, folks.
I told you we get down to peddle to the middle time.
The Democrats are not going to be impressed with McCain's service to a country.
It's going to all vanish.
It's all going to go away.
Predicted this.
Sometimes it actually disappoints me.
It makes me mad how right I am.
But, you know, you can talk about McCain's prisoner of war credentials being overrated.
I don't know what she knows about being a prisoner of war, but she is overrated herself and understands that to a T.
And we have to take a little time out here at the top of the hour.
The Rush Limbaugh program will be back before you know it.
Again, we're not using the Ditto Cam today, folks, because I'm not feeling well and this is not a pleasant sight in here today.
So hopefully back tomorrow.
