Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Don't tempt me.
Do not don't worry, Don.
I'm just saying, do not tempt me.
Never mind, folks.
What you don't know won't hurt you.
Greetings, welcome back, Rush Limbo here, fresh and ready to go for three days of broadcast excellence here as we wrap up the week and head into the Memorial Day weekend behind a golden EIB microphone, the telephone number if you want to be on the program today.
800-282-2882, the email address.com.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News is suggesting that Republicans may cheat Barack Obama in November.
Brad Wilmouth at uh at the newsbusters.org website has this.
Republicans are gonna cheat Obama.
The racism, the sexism, the misogyny.
All of the irregularities are occurring in the Democrat primary.
All of these exit polls, people saying they're not gonna vote for Obama.
If he's not gonna elect a black print, these are Democrats that are saying this.
Hillary's supporters saying if she loses, they're not voting Obama, vice versa.
These are Democrats saying, you know, it's getting bad for NBC.
MSNBC, NBC, they're working in the same building on 30 Rock.
I think it'd be better off if everybody at NBC just put on the official Democrat Party insignia.
Screw the American flag lapel pin and just put a donkey.
You know, the women can wear a donkey brooch.
The male reporters could put a donkey little lapel pin in in their in their suit jackets and just make it official here.
They're just they're they're just the house organ of the of the Democrat Party.
The Democrat Party, racist and sexist.
I mean, that's what you take from listening to Obama and Hillary.
Uh I just I continue to marvel at this.
Obama has lost five of the last seven primaries.
He has won one major primary since February 20.
Well, two now, two major primaries since uh since February 22nd, Oregon and uh and North Carolina.
He has not won enough delegates to be the nominee, but that hasn't stopped the media from reporting these false accomplishments that are fed to them by the Obama campaign, such as Obama now has majority of the delegates.
Well, big whoop.
A majority of the delegates doesn't mean anything.
So they keep changing the scenario.
Uh they keep changing the narrative.
Obama was crushed in Kentucky.
He is doing worse in key demographics than ever before, and they report the night as a big win for him.
Now, folks, I want you to listen to me.
I want you to look at me because I'm gonna tell you the truth about all this.
Democrat Party superdelegates know they have huge trouble here.
They've got big trouble, they they know full well.
This is a party, by the way, the Democrat Party that thrives and lives on polling.
They trust it, they believe it.
His exit poll information is not good.
This exit poll information, even from places like Oregon.
I mean, he lost Kentucky by what?
35 points.
Uh, he lost um uh what was the state probably the Tennessee, not today.
What wherever 40 some odd points?
Uh West V West Virginia.
Uh, these these are states that have a significant population of what Democrats call blue-collar workers.
They're white, and they are abandoning Obama in droves, and it's it's there's nothing to indicate they're gonna come back that the Democrat Party believes that all this will be put to bed at the convention and they'll unify, and time we get down to November and focus on the real enemy John McCain.
Uh, that this will all happen, but there is so much anger out there among Hillary Clinton's feminist voters, the female, exactly as I predicted.
We've got audio sound bites today to prove this and to and to back it up.
They have huge problems.
They're not gonna pull the nomination away from him.
They just they don't have the guts and they don't have the courage to do that.
But Mrs. Clinton's not getting out of this.
And I heard somebody with a uh a good analogy.
In the world of sports, in a football game, if you're down by 20 points with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, you don't quit.
You play the game outs.
Baseball, any sport you want to name, you don't quit until the game's officially over.
But here are these NBC Democrat Party reporters and everybody else in the drive-by media telling Mrs. Clinton to get out, and she is not going to do it.
We'll have the audio sound bites to back up all of this, and finally the Clinton campaign taking the advice of me, Rush Limbaugh, the commander-in-chief of U.S. Operation Chaos, on how to deal with Florida and Michigan.
Both Howard Wolfson, Terry McCaula, the punk, and even Mrs. Clinton herself spouting verbatim in some cases.
Advice I gave them back on May the 7th, two weeks ago.
In the meantime, big oil is under the big Kleaglights in the Senate.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, headed up by Senator Pat DePenz, Leaky Leahy, is uh grilling big oil, uh, as they always do when these uh prices jump to points that have the public outraged.
And of course, it's the other way, or what ought to happen here is that the big oil execs ought to have their own hearings and bring in senators and demand to know from these senators why you're preventing us from doing our jobs.
This is this is some energy policy that the Senate Democrats have uh have put together.
Senate uh members in this committee told oil executives today that high oil prices cannot be explained by supply and demand, and that the oil industry's concentration and OPEC collusion is contributing to the costs facing consumers.
They have execs of the five largest oil companies appearing before the committee today.
Shell Oil Company Chairman John Hoffmeister said that the prices can be explained, saying, quote, the fundamental laws of supply and demand are at work.
Now it it's to illustrate here that we've got too many lawyers and too many idiots in the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly has approved legislation yesterday allowing the Justice Department to sue OPEC members.
This is like suing bin Laden.
To sue OPEC.
And this was an overwhelming vote.
I mean, the Republicans chimed in on this one too.
To sue OPEC members for limiting oil supplies and working together to set crude prices, the White House threatened to veto the measure.
Uh the bill would subject OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela, to the same antitrust laws that U.S. companies must follow.
The measure passed in a 324 to 84 vote, a big enough margin to override a presidential veto.
This this is embarrassing.
This this is flat out embarrassing.
So our energy policy from the U.S. government is sue OPEC and uh attack big oil execs.
And all of this, all of this is not going to produce one drop of oil.
Here's a question.
Here's a question.
Everybody wants more oil, correct?
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain need to be asked, and they should be forced to answer this question.
Why do you want the Saudis to pump more oil?
Why do you want OPEC to pump more oil?
Come on now, you three are candidates for president of the United States.
Tell us if you want our vote, speak up.
Why do you want more oil on the market?
Why?
When all three of you are proposing various forms of legislation that would punish oil and try to get rid of oil and to raise taxes on everybody.
I mean, Obama's crazy statement last week that the world is no longer going to let us get away with keeping our homes at 72 degrees and driving our SUVs around and eating what we want.
Scary.
This is literally scary stuff.
You've got the leading Democrat Party presidential candidate running around telling America, just like Jimmy Carter, you have to learn to do it less.
We are going to have to do it less.
We are going to face A rollback of our lifestyle.
This guy is a product of his environment.
He's traveling around in these elitist circles, and he has bought hook line and sinker the notion that we are despised and hated, and that's why he keeps make keeps making stupid statements, such as he'll meet unilaterally without preconditions with anybody on the face of the earth.
Because he thinks we has to do that in order to repair our image with all these people, and that necessarily then evolves into the fact that the rest of the world hates us because we're using so much of the world's energy and we're polluting the planet and destroying it.
It's maddening.
This guy is an empty suit.
I am telling you, there is so much PR, so much buzz, so much spin about this guy, and he can't fill out his suit.
This guy, I'm telling you folks, he's not at all what he's cracked up to be.
Maybe a smooth talker.
I'm sorry.
But when you get down to genuine intelligence, common sense, and knowledge, this guy is an order of fries short of a happy meal.
So we want to know from all three of these candidates.
Why do you want more oil on the market?
That question, and the answer is so important, so crucial to our economy and our well-being, it should also be asked to every candidate for Congress, the House and the Senate.
Asked and answered.
Why do you want more oil on the market?
Let me add another group to this, too.
Every journalist, every editorial writer, every TV anchor, every pundit, should be asked and forced to answer why should the Saudis pump more oil?
Answer's obvious.
Even a Harvard grad knows it.
When more oil is pumped, the price goes down.
The price of oil, of gasoline, of diesel, jet fuel all go down.
See what American Airlines announced today?
Fifteen dollars for the first bag you check.
The way the airlines are gonna get around rising fuel costs, they're not gonna raise fares, but they're gonna charge you 15 bucks and then another whatever charge for second and third bags that you check.
There's gonna be all kinds of add-on fees, whatever they're gonna be called, they're not gonna touch the try to keep the fares what they are for their advertising.
Well, they're gonna have snerdly, they've got no choice.
The price of jet fuel is skyrocketing, just as is the price of diesel and the fright the price of gasoline.
Oil's now at 130 bucks a barrel.
Uh and American has also announced they're gonna reduce their capacity.
They're gonna not have as many flights this summer.
So the flights that American does launch are gonna be jam-packed.
If this if this keeps up, commercial airline travel will be a privilege only the rich will be able to afford.
So why do we want more oil?
Why do we want the Saudis to pump more oil?
Obviously, we hope the price of all this stuff will go down because there'll be more of it.
And yet, knowing that simple fact, so many of these people demagogue supply.
They demonize the suppliers.
They do everything in their power to prevent us from supplying our own oil to reduce our own prices.
While demanding more oil on the market, guess who it is that's facing an inquisition today by the Senate Judiciary Committee?
The very people whose business it is to produce more oil are being asked about collusion and price fixing and all that from people who say the Saudis need to pump more oil.
When a political hack, and I don't care who it is, take the politician of your choice, stands in front of a gas pump with the meter clicking and demands lower prices, or calls for a committee hearing at a latest gimmick, a lawsuit against OPEC.
You can play back his or her own words, more oil lowers prices.
And when they rhapsodize about a frozen tundra they call an Arctic preserve and no one goes to visit, you can play back his or her own words, more oil lowers prices.
When they replay and replay the dream, the 30-year-old dream, alternate energy someday, somehow, somewhere.
Simply replay their words when they're out there with these little photo ops in front of the gas pumps.
More oil lowers prices.
Very important.
And by the way, I don't want anybody calling here.
Well, you can call, but Snerdley's not going to put you through, because I am issuing a dictum.
I don't want to hear from anybody who says, hey, Rush, even if we started drilling today and changed policy, it would be ten years.
So first step always is required, no matter where you end up.
And if we had done this ten years ago, guess what?
We would already be pumping it.
We wouldn't be having these problems.
It got to start sometime.
It is embarrassing to sit around and demand the Saudis pump more or the Hugo Chavez pump more or that we're going to sue these people?
Is it any wonder congressional approval rating is 13%?
Ladies and gentlemen.
Okay, where are we in this Democrat primary?
Operation Chaos, folks, has worked exactly as planned and has exceeded every one of our strategic objectives.
A Democrat Party, it has now been displayed.
It's now been shown to everybody.
Democrat Party has two very flawed candidates.
The Democrat Party knows it.
So does the drive biomedia.
And the efforts of Operation Chaos have helped to demonstrate it by having this play out as it has for as long as it has, with no end in sight.
Mrs. Clinton has now adopted the advice given to her on this program by me.
Let's let you hear that device, May 7th on this program.
This is what I said.
Mrs. Clinton needs to demand counting the popular vote in Michigan and Florida.
She needs to demand this.
She then perhaps should do what liberals always do in the end and take the whole matter to court.
As for the votes in Michigan and Florida, I have a question.
Will it become the party that denies millions of people the right to participate in their own electoral process?
Will it become the party where some votes count more than others?
Will the Democrat Party become the party of backroom deals?
The Justice Department's civil rights division should investigate the Democrat Party's rules, and Mrs. Clinton should call for this.
Those rules disenfranchise millions of voters, including minority voters in Michigan and Florida, and the Democrats are very concerned about the minority vote, and there's a bunch of minorities in Florida and Michigan whose votes are not going to matter a hill of beans to the nomination process.
So in Mrs. Clinton's victory speech in Kentucky last night in Louisville, Mrs. Clinton said I'm going to keep standing up for the voters of Florida and Michigan.
Democrats in those two states cast 2.3 million votes, and they deserve to have those votes counted.
And that's why I'm going to keep making our case until we have a nominee, whoever she may be.
Mrs. Clinton last night in Louisville, taking up the advice presented to her by me, Rush Limbaugh, Commander-in-Chief, Operation Chaos.
And the call of hit the talking point and uses the disenfranchisement word last night on Fox News election headquarters.
Steve Brown spoke with the punk and said, look, can you give us an idea of what the race is going to look like?
Obviously, you've got money in the bank to go after these folks.
We have 13 days left to campaign and we have Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Montana, a big day.
Of course, May 31st.
The DNC rules and bylaws here is Florida and Michigan.
I believe they're going to count them.
We're not going to disenfranchise two of our key states.
And you know what?
More people have voted for Hillary Clinton than voted for Senator Barack Obama today.
And they continue the theme.
So even my friends, when I am away for a couple of days, I remain a huge factor in the Democrat primary race now advising the Clinton campaign.
Even Howard Wolfson last night on CNN Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.
Wolf said, We heard Senator Clinton speak a little bit about it in her remarks to her supporters in Louisville.
When all is said and done, it's basically based on the assumption that Michigan and Florida, the Democrat Party will rule on that May 31st that those delegates there will in fact be seated.
Well, we do believe that Michigan and Florida will be seated exactly as the good people of those states voted.
It's about whether or not the Democratic Party is going to exclude two states from its nominating convention, and it's about whether the Democratic Party is going to be true to its principles of making sure that every vote is counted.
I just love folks.
I just love this.
not only does Operation Chaos keep her alive, but now this program is providing them the ammo and the talking points, keeping them alive.
Let's go back to uh February 18th.
Me on this program.
I was thinking, well, all of these women on TV, wherever they are, even those who may not particularly be for her now.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happens that all of a sudden there becomes a similarity in the coverage.
A woman lost.
In 2008, this country is still so sexist that it will refuse to elect a woman.
I can just see them all getting a little miffed, even though those women that were not for her.
I can see them jumping in on this too.
See things like, I can't believe this country they actually support an inexperienced black guy over a competent, experienced woman.
These are just random thoughts that occur in the fertile gray matter known as my brain.
Half of which, of course, tied behind my back each day, just to make it fair.
And there were other numerous occasions in which I predicted a total uprising on the part of women, even feminist or not, over the fact that this woman was being mistreated, that they had that she had this nomination, and they're giving it to this inexperienced rookie.
Uh, because he's a guy, and once again, a woman faces a glass ceiling and somebody grabs a ball peen hammer and smashes a glass ceiling right on top of her head, knocking her out, while the other guy moves to the top, and they are livid.
I was right.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
By the way, Clinton campaign, let's not forget something else that you have in your arsenal there, and that is the litigation option.
If all else fails, sue.
Don't take that off the table.
I mean, hell, if the House of Representatives can sue OPEC, you can sure as hell sue the Democrat National Committee over its rules.
Especially about Florida and Michigan.
You might, in fact, you might want to make the argument to a liberal activist judge that the Democrat Party is discriminating against you and your candidacy in Florida and Michigan under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
I've looked at this, Mrs. Clinton in the Clinton campaign.
I know you're out there, and this is a gold mine waiting for you.
If you want to take this all the way out to August in the convention, I mean, and there's a precedent for this.
I mean, Al Gore tried it, gave it a shot in 2000.
I mean, he made a different argument uh than what you would make using the 14th Amendment, but Al Gore, uh Democrat compatriot, set the stage here for litigating election results for taking them to court, and you could string this thing all the way out to October, and you know your husband appointed a whole bunch of sympathetic judges.
And since you're you know, you can get this to a federal court, sympathetic liberal judge, the Democrat Party discriminating against you and your candidacy, you, Mrs. Clinton, you have been horribly I mean, even Clint Eastwood, who's over at the con film festival, the only Republican over there.
Even Clint Eastwood says she'd been mistreated.
That you gotta have some even even some other Republicans.
It's noticeable.
It is noticeable.
I mean, the footprints, the mud prints all over Mrs. Clinton's back, where all the Democrats has walked all over her.
She'd been horribly mistreated as a woman by her fellow Democrats and fellow media Democrats.
And so, with all the judges that your husband appointed out there, you can find one that's sympathetic.
You've got a leg.
I mean Clintons have a lot of options.
They still have a lot of arrows left in the quiver.
Um by the way, speaking of con, prevent me a brief departure here.
I don't know if you saw this.
Harrison Ford, who is starring in the new Indiana Jones and the, you know, the Democrat Party Temple of Doom, whatever movie it is, had his he did a PSA, TV PSA getting his uh uh chest waxed.
He's 65 year old, years old.
He winces in this PSA.
He winces in apparent pain as a strip of hair is yanked from between his pectorals for a p for those of you in Rio Linda we're talking about above the waist.
I don't know how those people's minds think out there.
Strip of hair is yanked from between his pectorals for a PSA for conservation international to raise awareness about the effect of deforestation on global warming.
That's right.
So getting chest hair waxed with a piece of tape is supposed to symbolize what happens at deforestation and how that's going to lead to global warming.
I, after having read this, I uh I probably wouldn't see this movie anyway, but I am now going to boycott this new movie on the grounds that this guy is too stupid to appear in something that's even make-believe.
Grief.
By the way, J. D. Dunn, writing in the American Spectator, puts this election in proper perspective.
When I go through these one, two, three little five little things here, it's gonna depress.
It's going to depress you even more.
Because it's going to really what it what it does, it just zeroes in on the total incompetence of the Republican Party.
Here, here is what the Republican Party is running against.
People who want to lose a war, who are keeping alive an environmentalist scam via a hoax, who, as a byproduct of that scam, have created conditions of serious hunger across the world, who would not mind seeing a recession in the U.S., no matter how many people it hurts.
That's what the Republican Party is running against.
How do you lose when running against a losing hand like that?
You lose by not playing.
You lose by throwing your cards down and collapsing under the table, whining about being forced to play the game at all.
And according to J.D. Dunne, AmericanThinker.com, that's what the Republican Party is doing.
It can't be described in any other way.
And that's doesn't that kind of hit home, folks, isn't it?
When you look at who the Democrats really are, you don't see invincibility, but they do, the Republicans do.
We see a bunch of losers.
We see a party fractured and divided.
We see so many opportunities to provide contrast with liberals via conservatism.
Instead, we've got a nominee who wants to work with these people.
Oh, by the way, in case you haven't heard, Mark McKinnon, who was the genius and the brain child behind the media campaigns of George W. Bush's presidential runs in 2000 and 2004, said some time ago that he would quit the McCain campaign if he was forced to do ads criticizing Obama.
He has quit.
He quit.
He said he cannot in good conscience run ads critical of a man representing this historical a candidacy.
So McKinnon is gone.
He's going to maybe do some freelance advice, talk to some people, but he's not going to have an official capacity.
He says, Obama's wrong about a lot of things, but he's a man of integrity and deep intelligence, which is, I'm telling you, he's not got deep intelligence.
But regardless, uh, he's got a horrible judgment, too, but regardless, McKin McKinnon is true to his word, not going to criticize, so he quit the uh McCain camp.
I got to go back to the audio sound bites because we have a call.
Let's take the call.
Uh Peggy in Orange County, California.
I'm glad that you called.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hey, Rush.
Hi.
How are you doing?
Just fine.
Thanks.
I'm really nervous, but I'll try to make this very succinct.
Just pretend I'm your husband.
No, I'm really nervous.
No, that's not supposed to work that way.
Never mind.
Okay, anyway, um, I think you have it all wrong about why the Hillary campaign is come claiming that the nation is the sexist and won't elect Hillary.
You want to know why?
Uh I have it all wrong.
I'll tell you what.
Okay, Well, go ahead and tell me why.
Well, because I think it's a ploy, because I think they're afraid that if if they try to um take this thing to the court, and Hillary does get nominated, that the Obama camp is going to claim that the nation is racist, and she's just trying to combat that argument by setting out this balloon that we're really sexist, that she can't be elected because she's a female.
I I I uh well, no, now we're talking two different things.
You're talking a Hillary maneuver, and you might be right that Hillary is just posturing on this because you know, one day Hillary can be the victim.
The next day she has a testicle lock box.
By the way, we got audio sub of Michelle Bernard, the independent women's voice was on with Chris Matthews talking about the testicle lockbox.
He had no idea what it was.
She said, Where have you been?
So she's the victim one day, poor Hillary, poor little Hillary, then she's got the testicle lock box out, then she's nurse Ratchet the next day.
So you could be right.
Oh, I know I'm right.
I see signs of New Orleans here that there is gonna be a huge if the if Obama does not get that nomination, I'm telling you there's gonna be melee, and I can't believe that she is like gonna let this happen for this country.
She should just step back and Oh, come on.
She's she doesn't care.
Should look at the either of them.
Wait a second, wait, wait a second, Peggy.
Wait a second, Peggy.
Look at me.
They're gonna wreck the country, whichever one of them gets elected.
It's gonna be Jimmy Carter's second term.
It doesn't matter how they rip.
If she they don't care about ruining the country, that's the we're running against people who want doom and gloom to happen.
But don't you think aren't people are aren't they afraid that there's gonna be riots in the streets when when Obama does not get the nomination?
The superdelegates are afraid of that.
Yes, that's the super talking about this.
Why is no one talking about this?
You know, you're following my advice finally and treating me like your husband.
I can't get a word in here.
I'm glad you have a sense of humor.
What everybody's talking about it.
Well, maybe not I am talking about it, Peggy.
I'm talking on on Fox or anything.
It's like this it's like this elephant in the room, and no one is admitting it's there.
We bring back nervousness.
Peggy, the bottom line is the superdelegates are nervous as heck for the exact reason you mentioned they're worried about riots, they're worried about permanent fissure uh uh in the Democrat Party uh with a black vote.
They're worried about you know all kinds of trouble happening in Denver at the convention.
They're exactly worried about that.
And the superdelegates, contrary to what you superdelegates do not get to vote in private.
Superdelegate voters are on the record.
And so that's their this is this is what Obama's counting on.
And Mrs. Clinton said, okay, fine.
You want who do you want more angry at you?
You want blacks in this country more angry in the Democrat Party or women.
Which do you want?
I just find this wonderful, folks.
This is perfect operation chaos.
This is happening all in the Democrat Party.
Now, the reason I said Peggy, there are two different things.
You're talking about Mrs. Clinton's strategy.
And yeah, she could be playing the poor little woman victimized by all these bad guys.
But the fact is that there are females in this country around the country who are very supportive of Hillary, and some of them who weren't at the outset, who are livid about this, whether Hillary is saying anything about it or not.
I got some audio sound bites to prove this and a couple of great quotes from Howard Kurtz yesterday, so don't go away.
We'll be right back.
Ha.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Howard Kurtz's headline and his newspaper story in the Washington Post yesterday, the sisters are steamed uh about how Hillary is being treated.
Here's Geraldine Ferraro on the Today Show yesterday.
Meredith Vieira said to her, if she fails, and the numbers right now are against her, can she blame that loss at all on gender?
I certainly will, and certainly other people who have been involved in this, just watching the campaign will.
And I started as early as December, complaining about this when the first Philadelphia debate was held, and where she was absolutely beaten up by everybody on the stage.
And Barack Obama, as a matter of fact, after it said, Well, you know, I was in a debate and I was attacked for 15 minutes, and I didn't bring up how I looked.
Well, I assume he wasn't referring to the fact that he is a male, tall, very handsome and young.
I assume he was discussing his color.
I responded with typical male.
Doesn't know the difference between 15 minutes and two hours.
And she was beaten up for two hours.
She is mad, and she has furthermore stated that she will not vote Obama.
Geraldine Ferraro said, I read this.
I had to do a bunch of jam-packed reading over the very condensed period of time, but she said this yesterday or Sunday, I forget, or Monday, this is Wednesday, so what you the last couple of days.
She said she probably, she might not, I don't know if it was definite, would not vote for Obama.
That's how mad she is about this.
And what the Obama campaign did to her, uh calling her a racist, so forth.
Here's Whoopi Goldberg on the view today with Joy Behar.
And these are also steamed sisters.
Now that there's a woman in the final three, and there is the possibility that she may not win.
What do you say to your daughter when she says, Mommy?
Dick you fall.
What do you say if you didn't?
You say a man took it away from a woman, and then they yelled at her for complaining about it.
That's what you tell them.
The truth.
They are steaming.
I know, I know.
Whoop.
I know, ripping my off a little kid voice, understanding that imitation, sincerest form of flattery.
ABC is the view.
They had Anderson Cooper on there today from CNN and Whoopi Goldberg and Anderson Cooper, Vanderson Cooper 180, had this exchange.
Let me ask you this, Anderson.
We were talking about earlier.
What do you tell your child, your daughter, if Hillary doesn't win?
Is it really a discussion we should be thinking about what to say to our daughter?
I was listening to you guys.
I mean, you can tell your child that history was made no matter what.
I mean, either Barack Obama, first African American president, Hillary Clinton, first female president, or John McCain, the oldest president.
Oh, yeah, that's really taking a stand.
That's a good journalist.
That's a good journalist.
He didn't give them what they wanted.
Uh Nina Burley is quoted by Howard Kirst.
You remember Nina Burley Dawn naming a bell to the Time magazine once.
She was the one who promised, she said she would love to give Bill Clinton a Lewinsky just for keeping abortion legal.
She is steamed.
Howard Kurtz quotes her as saying this.
Whenever I start to think about the competing victimhood claims between blacks and women, I think about those guys.
The fact is, for all the glass ceiling and sexual harassment crap I endured, those guys started off a long ways behind where I was.
Like others, including Erica Jong under attack on this page right now for referring to Obama as a boy.
I think Obama looks boyish.
And by that I mean young, not bois, with his infectious grin and his stick-out ears.
He looks like a kid.
And that's a good thing and a bad thing.
Like any woman, I feel the visceral draw to vote for a female.
The nasty sexist crap that Clinton's had to endure only makes me want to support her, even though I don't even like her.
And I don't think she's a good leader.
She doesn't have that warm follow-me sun god quality that leaders in the democracy have to have.
In politics, personality does matter, and it doesn't matter how many disastrous frat boys we elect, that'll never change, calling female reporters sweetie.
