	Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen.
	A very contentious email came in that had to reply to.
	That has been done.
	Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, and our annual carathon to wipe out the blood cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, as well as Friday.
	Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
	It's open line Friday.
	And we will be getting to your phone calls during the course of the busy program today.
	And what we do, the program is yours.
	So we go to the phones, whatever you wish to discuss.
	Feel free, as you know, Monday through Thursday, this is a program devoted exclusively to what I care about.
	But on Friday, I broom that you will be allowed to determine that which we talk about.
	800 282882 is the number to call.
	The email address is L Rushbo at EIB net.
	We are in the midst here, folks, of setting a record.
	We are way ahead of our pace of last year in the annual Curathon for Leukemia and Lymphoma.
	Uh uh by a lot, uh and it's it's uh it's as gratifying as it ever has been.
	And a sincere heartfelt thanks for me and all of the people.
	By the way, same pe for 18 years have been the same people at the Leukemia Lymphoma Society with whom we have been dealing.
	Uh almost all of them have been personally touched, uh, either themselves or members of their family by one of these blood cancers, and their devotion to this cause is genuine and real uh based on a desire to see progress here for everyone that uh is diagnosed with one of these cancers.
	Let me uh let me by the way, give you the phone number here.
	Uh uh you can also go to Rush Limbaugh.com to donate with a credit card, Visa MasterCard American Express.
	And when you do that, you're not going to be hounded by anybody else.
	Nobody's going to get your your credit information, your card number, your not your address, nope.
	Nobody's gonna solicit you.
	You'll never hear from anybody.
	Uh it's a hundred percent secure and and private.
	The telephone number, if you want to do that on the phone, is 877-379-8888.
	And of course, you can donate at uh uh at RushLimbaugh.com.
	Now, the the the evidence of our success, uh I mean, this money just doesn't come in and not go to use.
	It goes to great purpose.
	Hodgkin's lymphoma.
	Uh now, if the drive by media were to report on the effort to uh wipe out and cure Hodgkin's lymphoma, they would probably report to you that one thousand seventy people died of this disease last year.
	And then stop there.
	They probably wouldn't tell you that a hundred and thirty-eight thousand in the United States are living with it today.
	Hodgkin's lymphoma and the long-term survival rate has increased from 40% in 1963 to 86% today.
	That's a new high this year.
	Non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
	If the drive-by media reported this the way they report, say the war in Iraq.
	Uh you might read that 18,000 Americans died of this disease last year and think that the effort was pointless.
	Why contribute?
	18,000 people died.
	You would not be told that 405,000 people are living with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
	Long-term survival rates for non-Hodgkins lymphoma are up sixty-four percent.
	And that is a new high as well.
	Myeloma.
	This is a tough and stubborn disease.
	It has been beaten back from a five-year survival rate of 10% to 34% today.
	And of course, we're not finished.
	Now you you you have to know of the advances and the successes that are directly attributable to you and your support, which is why I go through these numbers and these statistics.
	And why we chose to present them to you in the in this fashion with the Iraq War analogy today.
	Because without your help, your uh your contributions, without your support, uh, without this information, the survivability rates that are going up and the numbers of people living with these diseases, without those numbers, you have no perspective of where we are on the battlefield here.
	But now you do.
	We are on offense.
	So many of these advances have taken place in the 18 years that we have been doing the curathon.
	New diseases and cases are new cases are diagnosed every day, and uh people are succumbing.
	We do lose friends and family and loved ones, but progress continues to be made.
	And we can win this.
	Victory is attainable if we squarely see what we face and where we've been and where we're going, and then make that commitment to not accept defeat and not pull out.
	Uh and not that anybody is concerned that anybody would pull out.
	I just wanted to draw the contrast here, the uh the overwhelming success with numbers that is attributable to you.
	You are the ones that have made the research possible that has led to uh advances in treating these disease uh diseases and to uh roll them back in some cases.
	So the news is all good uh on the and the overall trend, uh, and it will continue to get better with your support, and as it you your support is running in here at a record clip.
	I uh i it it's well, I mean, last year was the record uh almost twice.
	We're almost twice, not counting uh my donation or the two sisters in Oregon that have matched it.
	Uh just talking about you and this audience.
	We are so far ahead of last year, it's it's uh I'm overawed by this because uh economic circumstances that a lot of people face today, uh simply with rising prices on staples uh like food and uh and gasoline.
	So you're touching a lot of hearts today, those of you that have the uh the means and the ability and are donating.
	It doesn't take much, folks, but let me tell you what our premiums are.
	Uh if and the average donation, by the way, is over $25, uh, which is uh which is holding true to form for the previous years.
	But for $70, you can get a jump on our 20th anniversary uh EIB four color t-shirt.
	Our 20th anniversary is coming up on the first of August.
	But for 70 bucks, you can get a you can get a head start on getting your 20th anniversary four-color t-shirts, one size fits all, and for a donation of $325, you will get a special edition EIB golf shirt's got my signature on the left sleeve.
	It's a springtime blue.
	Uh pretty shade of blue.
	Lettering is in white, the piping is in white on the sleeves, uh, and yet you have your choice of sizes with this shirt.
	So, Visa, MasterCard, you can call 877-379-8888, or go to Rushlimbaugh.com and make your donation there.
	Uh, it is apparent, ladies and gentlemen, as we uh move on to Operation Chaos.
	What would Howard Dean panicking on CNN demanding that the superdelegates make up their minds now?
	There is a battle underway for control of the Democrat Party.
	It is between Howard Dean and me, Commander in Chief, U.S. Operation Chaos.
	You think it's a coincidence that Dr. Dean goes on television the same day that I made a very effective pitch to Democrat Party Superdelegates to beg these two candidates and go for a third candidate because neither of them can win later the same day, Dr. Dean heads to CNN and demands it to Superdelegates vote now, which means get it over with and nominate Obama.
	Operation Chaos, battle for power, Democrat Party between Dr. Howard Dean and yours truly, L. Rushmore, Commander in Chief, U.S. Operation Chaos.
	Hi, how are you?
	Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and Open Line Friday, and the annual leukemia lymphoma society Curathon.
	We continue to run way ahead of last year.
	Thank you so much.
	To make a donation, or you can go to Rushlimbaugh.com.
	This is an amazing story.
	And now this, uh, ladies and gentlemen is a great example of how if I ran a news network or a wire service, I would change the way things are reported.
	Let me read to you what AP has written here.
	The writer, reporter is Martin Kutzinger.
	Turmoil in credit and housing markets will be the most significant threat to growth this year, according to a survey of top financial company executives released today.
	These executives believe there is a high probability, 88%, that the country will suffer a recession in the next 12 months.
	The responses came from executives whose firms are members of the Financial Services Forum, which represents 20 of the largest financial companies in the country, including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Allstate Insurance, and Fidelity Investments.
	After credit market tumult and troubles in the housing market, these same executives listed the next biggest threat to the economy now as the possibility the government will impose higher taxes or raise protectionist barriers to foreign competition.
	Well that's what party's gonna do that's out there promising to raise taxes doesn't matter you've got Obama or Hillary and they're both promising to raise taxes and when you listen to Obama tell us why it's not about raising revenue.
	The whole purpose of the tax code is to raise revenue to fund government services, blah, blah, blah, we all know this.
	Not with Obama.
	The tax code is to be used as punishment is to try to perfect everybody, make everybody equal.
	It's try it it is to punish people who in Obama's view have enough.
	And the same thing with Mrs. Clinton, who's out there wants to take big oil's profits and pour them into research on alternative fuels.
	So the way I would write this story, after credit market tumult and troubles in the housing market, the executives listed the next biggest threats to the company now as the possibility that Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton will be elected president.
	Because they're the ones who are talking about imposing higher taxes and raising protectionist barriers to foreign competition, i.e.
	NAFTA, and not passing the Columbia free trade agreement.
	Second biggest threat to economic growth is the Democrat Party.
	And the AP makes it clear but if you don't if you if you don't have the ability to put two and two together there and understand who's for raising taxes you'll never get that's how I would change your average wire service reporting were I in charge.
	From the Raleigh News and observer, a debate Wednesday night that focused on Barack Obama's vulnerabilities was an example of outmoded political gotcha games, Obama told a Raleigh audience yesterday that was the rollout of the Republican campaign against me in November, Obama said during a town hall meeting at the state fairgrounds they're going to try to focus on all these issues that don't have anything to do with how you're paying your bills at the end of the month.
	Well that's none of your business either how people are going to pay their bills.
	That's not what the president's supposed to do Mr. Obama these questions that have been asked of you are totally legitimate.
	The people with whom and who you associate are very indicative of the kind of person you are we all hang around people that we like.
	We all hang around people that reflect our views.
	There are some exceptions to this but I mean everybody that we know that this guy runs around with is a radical I mean a pr extreme radical in one form or another here is Obama actually on tape whining about this in Raleigh North Carolina yesterday.
	Forty five minutes before we heard about health care 45 minutes before we heard about Iraq 45 minutes before we heard about jobs 45 minutes before we heard about gas prices I don't I I don't I don't blame Washington for this because that's just how Washington is they like stirring up controversy and they like playing gotcha games and getting us to attack each other.
	Washington Washington?
	The debate was in Philadelphia it was ABC and by the way do you not love the way ABC is being attacked by other drive by networks as well as the Cook Fringe leftist blogosphere?
	Folks, Operation Chaos has tentacles that have gone far beyond the presidential campaign.
	Operation Chaos now has taken root in America's newsrooms and America's networks.
	But Mr. Obama, 45 minutes before we heard about Iraq, I know everything you think about Iraq.
	I've heard it in 21 debates.
	I know everything you think about taxes.
	I've heard it in 21 debates.
	I know everything you think about jobs.
	Gas prices.
	I've heard about it in 21 debates.
	What I haven't heard is the answers to the questions that you were asked on Wednesday night.
	Questions were perfectly justified.
	Have can you imagine any great NFL quarterback after a loss talking to the press about how bad the referees were, how unfair circumstances were, how bad the play calling was, basically blaming everybody but himself.
	This is what Obama sounds like to me.
	This guy is coming off very amateur-ish.
	Whining and crying.
	This man is not a leader, ladies and gentlemen.
	He's whining about the questions he got in the debate.
	And it's embarrassing to listen to him whine.
	By the way, have you seen the video tape where he's talking about Clinton twisting the knife and have you seen the videotape?
	He sticks one finger up as he's scratching his face, and it's the bird.
	He's scratching his face with with the with the bird finger.
	As he's talking about Hillary.
	And he's talking about the drive-bys and their tough questioning.
	You know, this guy's a spoiled brat.
	He is a spoiled brat.
	He's had it easy.
	He has had it easy.
	You know that story he told about, well, I'm not an elitist.
	My uh my uh my uh mother was on food stamps.
	You know where he was when his mother was on food stamps, some elite prep school, some private prep school somewhere that cost a lot of money to get into.
	You know, Tiger Woods just last week came in second at the Masters.
	And I don't know about you, I was stunned that I when I found out on Monday that he has to go in for knee surgery.
	The third or fourth surgery on the same knee.
	He played every tournament this year with a bum knee, and by the way, Augusta's not an easy place to walk, trust me.
	I'm I hate walking, period.
	It's pointless.
	But that's that that's a hilly golf course, and it's not easy to walk.
	And he didn't complain.
	He didn't blame his loss on his knee.
	He didn't even mention it at the masters.
	He put it on his website to explain why he probably wouldn't be in another tournament until either the Byron Nelson way back in the end of May or maybe the U.S. Open in June.
	We were shocked.
	He didn't complain, he didn't whine about it.
	Marty Schottenheimer was asked about how he thought a rookie would play.
	He would say, we'll see how he does after he gets hit in the mouth.
	Uh Bill Parcells, when he was the coach of the New England Patriots, and Drew Bledsoe was in his rookie season.
	And Bledsoe got beat up pretty bad in a in a game, finished the game, but he's limping out.
	And somebody asked Parcells in the post-game press conference, how do you think he's gonna do?
	He says, We'll see.
	I can't tell you.
	Now Parcells could have said, ah, he's a tough guy, he'll come out of the was waiting to see what happened.
	And Bledsoe didn't complain.
	These guys don't.
	Obama complains.
	Obama's whining.
	Obama wants us to feel sorry for him.
	He gives a great speech, but he can't take a punch.
	He's weak, and he whines.
	I'm sure some women find that attractive because they would look at him as little boy and want to protect him from the evils of the mean bad press and that evil witch Hillary.
	But it embarrasses me as a man.
	In fact, you know, this reminds me, I saw something, this is some weeks ago now.
	Somebody had a theory as to why women were flocking to Obama in droves.
	And it was because he's so skinny.
	And the fact that he was so skinny made them worry.
	Like mothers worry that maybe underfed.
	It was it was arousing maternal instinct.
	Look at it, poor boy, he's so skinny.
	I can't require I don't I don't know whose theory this was, if it was a man's or woman's or not, but anyway, it's it's embarrassing to listen to this guy whine and moan.
	And Clinton's even out you know what Hillary didn't win and she's not crying.
	And Obama is everybody's noticing this.
	We got to take a brief time out here, folks.
	We'll do that and be back and continue after this.
	The saga continues open line Friday and our annual leukemia lymphoma society Curathon.
	Our surge is working here.
	Here's the telephone number is 877 379 888 or you can donate at Rushlimbaugh.com.
	Credit card uh usage is entirely secure in private and you will not be inundated with other solicitations.
	70 bucks you can give that by the way we continue to to to be a record pace ahead of last year which was itself uh a record and I just I sit here and I'm in awe of of uh of those of you in this audience we we really do love you here.
	You I hope I hope you know how much.
	Well when I'm sitting here doing this program I I I think of each like I'm talking to each of you individually not as a group even though you're a group and it's because there's a there's a over the eighteen or plus years here there's a familial bond that has developed here and it's uh you continue to display and and illustrate that with your generosity on our annual leukemia lymphoma curaton.
	Again for 70 dollars you can uh get a jump on our 20th anniversary four color t-shirt 20th anniversary August first it's a one size fits all shirt for 325 dollar donation uh you'll get a special edition EIB golf shirt signature my signature on the left it's a it's a springtime blue with white lettering and piping on the sleeves.
	And just to bring you up to speed on where we are, you know, I always make a donation myself at the beginning of this.
	And this year it was, what was it?
	What was my original?
	Three, yeah, 300.
	I couldn't remember.
	300 because I always try to increase over the previous year.
	And two previous donors a couple years ago sent me an email and said, if you'll up that to 400,000, these two sisters in Oregon said, we'll match it.
	so it did so w within the first 45 minutes we'd collected eight hundred thousand dollars and you're you're on top of that it's it's amazing how much a little radio show once a year, not even all three hours generates all because of you.
	And I thank you as does everybody associated with the Leukemia and lymphoma society.
	Randy St. John's Michigan you're next at Open Line Friday hello.
	Wow, this is an honor and my distinct pleasure to speak with you, sir.
	And I just called to thank you personally for your contributions and donations to AL, lymphoma, leukemia.
	It affects me on a very personal level.
	My mom was diagnosed with AML in the last year, and the numbers are staggering.
	When you investigate, like most people do, you know, and they have a loved one that comes down with this, the number of people that are stricken with this disease and how devastating it is.
	I made a small contribution, what I could afford, and while it was obviously nowhere near the scale of your donation, I want people to realize that small donations help, too.
	I mean, everything that they can give is appreciated, at least by me.
	Of course it is.
	You're absolutely right.
	And, you know, it's not the size, it's the numbers of people.
	That's right.
	And that's how you get the geometric contribution.
	uh multiplication of the of the amount raised it's like I said earlier if if everybody in the audience just had time to to do a d a dollar by the end of this day we'd have twelve million bucks.
	Well, and and the thing about it, um uh uh the big thing about it for me is that uh this disease doesn't discriminate.
	It's it's it's devastating for anybody that contracts it.
	And and you know, my mom uh uh on a personal level, she she's never smoked a cigarette.
	She's uh I probably drink more on a good weekend than she than she ever drink, and and uh for her to get stricken with this disease, uh it's just really devastating, you know.
	They're my folks are are in their retirement years and looking forward to uh enjoying that retirement and uh um to have this thing come as is really devastating for the family and and the hard part is that you know they live in Florida in the winter and and of course all of us kids are stuck in Michigan,
	and uh so uh that's a hardship we have to bear uh to be with her when we can and but the biggest thing is uh the treatment that she's experiencing now will be ongoing uh every six months or a year uh to maintain until such time that she can't take it anymore.
	How's she doing now?
	She's uh she feels good, but it it came back.
	Um she went through a year treatment last year and uh uh couldn't make it back home and was looking forward to it this year when it came back and and now she's looking at uh further treatments this summer, but you know, she's put her life in God's hands and as as we have, and and she's gonna enjoy every day, and and I mean she's relatively young, you know, and uh it's just one's very stubborn.
	The the the disease your mom has is uh is extremely stubborn, but the survival rate uh thirty-four percent now, the five year survival rate's thirty-four percent.
	That's up from ten percent uh not long ago.
	So you have uh uh in the midst of all the angst and the disappointment you have, you you have reason to be hopeful.
	But you're right, it it it it dep it just depends on how long somebody can tolerate the um the extent of the of the treatment.
	But look, it it's uh it can't be easy for you to call here and and uh and share the story that you shared.
	It's uh in some cases it might be therapeutic to do so, but you got a lot of people in this audience today who are doing what they can to help.
	Uh your mom and and other people uh in the future who will be stricken with uh one of these blood cancers.
	I'm glad you called.
	It's uh had to be very tough for you, but thanks for your kind words.
	Uh thanking us in the midst of what's got to be very agonizing circumstance for you.
	Thank you so much.
	Carrie, East Hampton, uh, Connecticut.
	Welcome to the EIB network on open line Friday.
	Hello.
	Hello, Rush, how you doing?
	It's Gary.
	Um, my mistake, Snerdley got it right.
	My mistake, I was reading over my glasses, and uh we we've got a computer.
	We our our our call screener computer looks like a computer in from the late eighties.
	And you can typeface the screen, everything, and so the the C looks like a G. No problem.
	It's an honor to talk to you no matter what.
	You can call me whatever.
	Thanks very much, sir.
	Well, first off, I just wanted to say the the Elvis version of the battle hymn was always inspirational to me, and uh and but uh the the version performance on Wednesday did take the cake and uh just wanted to make that little comment.
	Thank you, sir.
	Uh the other day those two bumbling fools when they were debating, uh after they decided, you know.
	Wait, wait, wait, was it for those of you in Rio Linda we're talking about Obama and Hillary.
	Oh, go ahead, Gary.
	Okay, well, when they when they both promised to pull out of Iraq, regardless of uh the facts on the ground, and and they're smarter than our military uh people there and the joint chiefs.
	Then when the question went to Iran, they basically, you know, said exactly what Bush has been doing all along that they're gonna do, didn't give them any credit, just said this is what they're gonna do like uh he's been doing nothing and and acknowledging nothing going on, and then you get that Ackerman uh coming out yesterday saying we've done nothing to Iran, and I'd just like to know what their uh what their um you know game plan is for Iran, and obviously it's uh it's nothing you haven't talked about it yet.
	You would you what would you court they're not going to, and this the the the the the your your point about their uh statement they're gonna pull out of a rock no matter what.
	That that's gonna lead to a broken promise if one of these two happens to win, because we're not pulling out of there.
	Ne and neither one of the and I know how they'll do it.
	They'll get in there and they say, Well, you know, uh we're we've got into the one office here and I talked to people and a lot of stuff President Bush in the previous administration didn't tell us.
	And so we can't pull out that's what they'll do.
	They'll continue to blame everything on Bush, everything on the Republicans.
	If one of these two becomes president and they wreck the economy and do they'll blame it on Bush, things they did not know about when they were running, because Bush wasn't forthcoming and didn't tell them the truth about how bad things really were.
	That's why there won't be the middle class tax cut that Obama is promising, just like Clinton in uh in 1992.
	But if you want some real irony from Obama.
	Obama said that he doesn't like what Jimmy Carter's doing.
	Jimmy Carter's out there talking to Hamas.
	Well, wasn't it Obama who said that he would do exactly what Jimmy Carter's doing?
	That he would go talk to the Iranians.
	He would go talk to these people in Afghanistan, the Taliban and all this.
	That he would be now Carter's doing exactly what Obama said he would do.
	And Sue Myrick, a Congresswoman from North Carolina, has asked Condoleza Rice to revoke Jimmy Carter's passport.
	Did you know about that?
	No, but uh but I agree with it.
	I mean, the hypocrisy is running rampant here, and the more the operation chaos goes on, the more you they open the door for all this hypocrisy.
	Amen, bro.
	Amen.
	Well, I'm you know, if if she's serious, Sue Myrick is serious about we've got that on an audio sound, but it's the last one, Mike.
	Uh don't know quite what the number is.
	You got it.
	Here is Sue Myrick.
	It's number 16.
	This is on uh America's pulse with uh Edie Hill yesterday on the Fox News Channel.
	That's up to the Secretary of State, but frankly, I wanted to send a strong message because we have a policy in this country about Hamas, and he is just deliberately undermining that policy, and it's wrong.
	You know, Hamas has continually stood for terrorism against peace.
	And the State Department, the administration, Israel all opposed him going over there to meet.
	And the international community's been trying to isolate Hamas so they would get a message.
	And you know, he's just undermining all that.
	And she does think that his passport should be revoked.
	Uh I would add to that that if it's probably a long shot, but if we're going to revoke his passport, do it while he's out of the country.
	We are in the process of our annual.
	Or we're in the middle of our annual curaton.
	They cure the blood cancers.
	Leukemia lymphoma myeloma, 877-379-8888 is a number to call.
	If you'd like to make a donation, you can also donate at Rush Limbaugh.com.
	I got an open line Friday question in an email.
	You are always complaining about the call screener computer and how old it is.
	Why don't you buy a new one?
	This is an excellent question.
	I I don't think about it, because it's actually, it's not the computer, it's the software.
	The software is the same software we used when we started this program in 1988.
	It's the only link technologically we have to the very first day this program started.
	I don't even it's amazing, folks, but in radio, one of the toughest things that people have had to write is a genuinely good call screener program to show you who's on the phone, where they're from, what they want to talk about, how long have they been on hold.
	And we uh we have we have Apple doesn't write software that much.
	They got the developers.
	No, I didn't.
	It's it's an old, it's an old what what you before Windows, what was it?
	MS DOS?
	DOS, it's it's even worse.
	It's even older than that.
	Uh I mean, you remember the movie War Games?
	Remember the computers are using a war.
	It looks like that.
	Little screen with these little green blinking cursors going across our screens blue, but anyway, there's also some other super secret information we have about callers up here, but I don't I've I've not seen a uh a decent call screener program in my entire career as a talk show host.
	Uh and this is I think this one we borrowed some somebody when we started, we didn't have any money.
	I think we stole this from somebody at WABC.
	Who's was this?
	We did buy the rice of this.
	You mean there's actually something we paid for when we started?
	Amazing.
	But we were out there making.
	Well, we were out there making deals to get stuff when we first started.
	We didn't have any money, so we'll uh I know it was cutting edge once, but so was the Apple IIC.
	You know, so so so was the Charlie Chaplin IBM commercials.
	They were cutting edge ones too.
	Anyway, it suffices.
	It just I like to tease about it more than anything else.
	It's kind of like it's it's it's nice having an antique in here to remind us of our roots.
	All right, who's next?
	Sean in Hermosa Beach, California.
	Welcome to Open Line Friday.
	Hello.
	Rush, it's a thrill to be on the show.
	Thank you, sir.
	And I was listening yesterday and I've been listening today about your uh doomsday option where where the uh superdelegates are supposed to ditch the uh affirmative action candidates and and bring in a third candidate.
	That's right.
	And uh, you know, at first I was alarmed and scared, and I th I'm thinking, well, you're kind of coaching them, Rush, but as a thinking don't think they aren't thinking it themselves.
	Well, exactly.
	I I I was I you know, I put myself in their shoes, which was which was hard because I was sober, and I said, Well, they've probably already thought about that.
	And and it came to my mind that you were just kind of pulling a uh uh Jedi mind trick on them, in and uh kind of uh reverse psychology, and and and they'd be thinking, well, if Rush says that maybe we shouldn't be thinking that.
	You know, you're very shrewd, sir.
	Very shrewd.
	You know how I know that both you and I are right about this?
	Two things.
	Yesterday, I suggest that the superdelegates bag these two and get a third candidate.
	Yesterday afternoon, Dr. Dean goes on CNN to demand the superdelegates stop messing around and choose a candidate now.
	Then the New York Times today has a story, superdelegates unmoved by debate, and will be unmoved by Pennsylvania primary results.
	That is a crock.
	That is totally if if there are if if Democrats who really want to win a win I when the White House had to be alarmed as they could be after that debate, because Obama got one thing right.
	He did whatever happened there, he was up against a Republican campaign and he didn't do well.
	Well, you know what, Rush?
	Those superdelegates, they could care less what their other fellow delegates think, much less what what the people think.
	Voters, right.
	So they'll do whatever they they want to do.
	Yeah, and they're not and they're not they don't care what Howard Dean says either.
	That's right.
	They don't care what Howard did they're more concerned what I'm saying.
	And by the way, Rush, I uh it be if it's a fight between you and Howard Dean, I'm I'm uh I'm happy with that with that lineup.
	I am too.
	Fight between Howard Dean and me for control of the Democrat Party.
	Let's listen a little bit more Obama as he's whining and moaning in Raleigh yesterday.
	This is his comment about Hillary twisting the knife.
	I had to say, you know, Senator Clinton, you know, looked in in her element.
	You know, she was she was taking every opportunity to get a dig in there.
	You know.
	That's all right.
	That's that's her right.
	That's her right to kind of twist the knife a little bit.
	You know.
	That's why.
	That's uh that's uh pathetic.
	That's the lesson that she learned when the Republicans were doing that same thing to her back in the 1990s.
	Yesterday in St. Mary's, Pennsylvania, former President Bill Clinton.
	When I watched that debate last night, I got kind of tickled when the other guy after the campaign, her opponents was oh, the the people working were saying, Oh, this is so negative.
	Why are they doing this?
	Well, they've been beating up on her for 15 months.
	I didn't hear her whining when he said she was untruthful in Iowa.
	All right, that's enough.
	You know, uh Clinton is sounding more and more like my impersonation of him every day.
	When that started, I thought, is that me?
	Uh uh Mr. President, uh Mrs. Your wife hasn't whined.
	How about how come I always get the first question?
	I always get the first Your wife, you and your wife have been whining for twenty five years about stuff.
	You continue to build the margin over which we're up this year to last year in our curaton to wipe out blood cancers.
	It is stunning.
