I didn't have time to send you a flash note on this, but I just was at the top of the hour break.
I was watching videotape of the McCain speech.
I told Cookie earlier today, no audio soundbites of the McCain speech, because he started right when this program started.
Those people are going to learn.
They don't do their speeches when this show's on.
Cookie, I just saw that the anti-war protesters, a bunch of goofy-looking kids, but they still showed up and they protested McCain's speech.
I want that audio.
I will play protesters at McCain's speech from Denver this morning.
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Nice to have you with us.
The telephone number, if you want to join us, 800-282-2882.
The email address is Elrushbo at EIBnet.com.
See the McCain camp release at health records, the medical records on Friday.
Over a thousand pages, over a thousand pages of medical records.
And the USA Today headline, report McCain appears, cancer-free, comma, healthy.
Appears.
A thousand pages.
Bill Clinton hasn't released a paragraph of his medical records.
McCain, a thousand pages.
And they say, appears cancer-free.
Appears healthy.
What that means is they still think something was held back.
How about this?
Have you heard about this out in Santa Fe, New Mexico?
By the way, this is where Joe Wilson and what's her name?
Valerie Plame moved.
A group in Santa Fe, New Mexico says the city is discriminating against them because they're allergic to the Wi-Fi wireless internet signal.
And now they want Wi-Fi banned from public buildings.
Arthur Furstenberg says he is highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields, including wireless internet and cell phones.
I get chest pain, and it doesn't go away right away, he said.
Furstenberg and dozens of other electrosensitive people in Santa Fe claim that putting up Wi-Fi in public places is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The city attorney in Santa Fe is now checking to see if putting up Wi-Fi could be considered discrimination.
City Councilor Ron Trujillo says that the areas are already saturated with wireless internet.
Hey, it's not 1692.
It's 2008.
Santa Fe needs to embrace this technology.
It's not going away, Trujillo said.
The city attorney hopes to have a legal recommendation by the end of the month.
So here you have a whole city of Santa Fe.
A couple people show up.
You're going to stop this.
You're going to stop this.
We're allergic to Wi-Fi signals.
You're going to stop this.
And the city attorney says, okay, well, we'll look into it.
I mean, this is, don't go to the public building.
This is, in the old days, in the old days, these people said, look, you know, if you don't like this, move to a cave or don't go to the public building.
Tyranny of the minority.
Senator McCain, a couple of items here.
This also from last Friday.
And it was quoted here in Michelle Malkin post on her website.
He gave a couple speeches last week, and I missed this little reference in one of the speeches.
McCain said, I don't like obscene profits being made anywhere, and I'd be glad to look not just at the windfall profits tax.
That's not what bothers me.
We should look at any incentives that we are giving to people that are industries or corporations that are distorting the market.
This is about big oil for crying out loud.
I don't like obscene profits being made anywhere, and I'd be glad to look not just at the windfall profits tax, but we should look at any incentives that we are giving to people that are industries or corporations that are distorting the market.
Senator McCain, government is doing things?
Giving incentives that distort the market?
What the hell is government doing to big oil?
What the hell incentives are there to big oil?
I guess even worse.
Politico today on global warming, it's McCain versus the GOP.
John McCain's tempestuous relationship with his own party will be on full display when the Senate dives into a major global warming debate next week.
This is Warner Lieberman.
The question facing Senate Republicans, are they ready to embrace their presidential nominee's more liberal ideas for climate change ideas like a cap and trade system, or will they stick to the conservative hands-off approach to global warming backed by President Bush?
It's a debate that may very well divide Senate Republicans and show voters yet another fissure in an already beleaguered party.
Democrats don't seem eager to offer a smooth path toward any bipartisan compromise that would give McCain any political cover.
And a key procedural vote has already been scheduled for June the 2nd.
On global warming and other issues, McCain's office is engaged in an intensive behind-the-scenes message coordination effort with Mitch McConnell, whose press office holds daily phone calls to map out the message of the day.
Every Tuesday, McCain's senior advisors meet with Republican senators at the National Republican Senatorial Committee to chart their agenda.
And about once a week, McCain himself chats with McConnell.
Now, let's see.
This is Graham, Lindsay Graham.
Hang on just a second, folks.
Grab the trusty pen.
I guess this is Lindsey Gramnesty, who is also a senator.
John McCain was into climate change before it was cool, Graham said.
But that's the one issue where the majority of the conference may go the other way.
Conservatives hope that McCain will back a more market-based approach rather than the government mandates on carbon emissions that are part of the Central Senate proposal.
We're starting to see a coming together on energy, said Jim DeMint, Republican South Carolina.
Hopefully he can help us find a position between Warner Lieberman and where we are as conservatives.
But in this internal debate, one can already see a distinct change in the Republican outlook.
Conservatives are trying to figure out legislative options on global warming rather than simply playing defense and mocking environmentalists on the topic.
The global warming deniers have taken a back seat.
One GOP Senate aide said, you've already seen the shift on energy and climate change.
You're not going to see tax breaks for oil companies.
You'll see us talking more about climate change where we didn't before.
So the Republicans here, apparently, even the great Senator Jim DeMint, talking about finding common ground with McCain on this.
So what we have here, there was a great piece, Peter Ferreira, in the American Spectator last week, writing, in this case about David Fromm, who's a conservative commentator and author, writer, National Review Online.
whole concept that I constantly rail against, and that is accepting the premises put forth by the left and then trying to monkey with them a little bit and change them so they're not quite as bad, add a little conservative touch to it.
There's a term that Peter Ferreira came up with to describe this, and I can't forget the first one.
It's two words, the second word, surrender.
But that's what apparently is going on here.
When you accept the premise of the left and then try to tweak the end result, you fail to stand up for what you believe in and you've just surrendered.
And it appears now that what's happening with the Republicans in the Senate is that they're prepared to surrender and sort of try to find a way to compromise with McCain to keep him consistent on his presidential issue, supporting a cap and trade, a cap and trade program.
But the headline here is really all that you need to know.
On global warming, it's McCain versus the GOP.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back and to continue right after this.
Okay, we do have audio of the protesters at the McCain speech today in Denver, Colorado.
And it's a short bite.
It's 21 seconds.
Endless war.
I have town hall meetings all the time.
I'll be having one tomorrow where people are allowed to come and state their views and we exchange them.
And the one thing we don't do is interfere with other people's right to free speech.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Senator McCain responding with courtesy to the long-haired maggot-infested dope-smoking FM types who showed up and were unable to unfurl their t-shirt.
It was the most inept protesters I've ever seen.
You guys are going to have to step it up.
It was an embarrassment.
Two clowns stand up and can't even unfurl a t-shirt, correct?
If you're going to protest, protest.
All right, Aaron in Philadelphia, you're next.
Great to have you here on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
It's great to speak with you.
How are you doing?
Good.
Thanks much.
Good.
Well, I just want to do a couple things.
I want to jump on this before the tree huggers do.
Mars' temperature might have something to do with the radius of its orbit.
It's further away from the sun than the Earth is.
I'm glad you explained that.
The people in Rio Linda, the radius of its orbit might not have been understood all in the audience in Rio Linda.
So basically what you're saying is, of course, Rush, it's going to be minus 100 degrees on Mars.
They're farther from the sun.
That would play a part.
Yeah, a part.
But again, astrophysics is not my area of expertise.
Well, look, and I understand it.
I've been waiting for somebody to call and say, but rush, but rush.
And you were the first to do it.
But here is the answer.
If the tree huggers, the environmentalist wackos, if they call here and say it, the answer is, wait a minute, you guys say the sun has no impact on global warming in this country on this planet.
And they do.
They don't model the sun.
They don't factor sunspots or flares or any solar activity.
They don't.
They can't afford to.
Their theory would crumble faster than dust in an Indiana Jones movie.
Well, what is the next thing we're going to have to do?
Stop wearing sunscreen because it's bleaching the coral reef?
I'm a physician, and let me tell you, I'd rather deal with preventing melanoma than bleaching the coral reef.
Really?
What kind of doctor are you?
I'm general practitioner.
General practitioner?
Cool.
Yes.
So I'm a humanist, and I try to help people and save their lives.
So the next time the tree huggers have a problem with the cost of health care, remind them that it's going to get even more expensive as the cost of a barrel of oil goes up.
Because all those disposable sterile plastics and the sterile saline and the refrigerated blood products that have to get shipped all over this country are going to go up in cost.
If this bag of normal saline right now costs $180 a bag, one liter of saltwater, $180, it's going to go up even more.
We have to make sure the number one priority, and I hope somebody from McCain's group is listening, we have to make sure the number one priority for us is to become energy independent for our health care system.
Energy independent.
Yes.
Meaning we need to go get our own.
And yes, I know exactly what you mean.
But I want to go back to this.
Look at, by the way, oil is under $130.
Oil is falling.
Oil is falling.
I warned you people, I told you last week this is a bubble, that the market's not going to be able to support this never-ending $3 and $4 a day increase in the price of oil.
I don't know if it's a trend down or not.
I don't know what's going on, but it is.
It was $135 last week, and it's $129, just under $130 now.
If somebody comes along and tells you, we'll rush, we'll rush, of course it's minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Mars.
They're much further from the sun.
Doesn't matter because the sun's not a factor of global warming here.
If the sun's not a factor here, it can't be on Mars.
They've got 95% of their atmospheres carbon dioxide.
They ought to be melting.
There ought to be one hell of a greenhouse effect up there.
Who's next on this show?
Carl in Charleston, South Carolina.
Great to have you here, sir.
Hi.
Greetings from the low country of South Carolina, Mr. Clinton.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you, sir.
I was wondering if you could pass along some of your wisdom.
I recently watched the HBO production of a film they aired called Recount.
I saw that.
That was an interesting piece, but in light of the Democrats' desire to regain control of the White House and the Republicans' hope that we will keep the White House, I was wondering if you might be able to share with your listeners if you think we may see another run in the courts for the White House.
I think we should.
I think Mrs. Clinton should go to the courts.
I have been advocating this as part of Operation Chaos.
You know, I watched this movie, this recount movie, and it was told from the Democrat perspective, as they admitted that it was.
But it was a documentary, and it was just fraught full of holes.
There were facts left out.
There was dialogue made up, things that people never said that they were quoted as saying.
But unless you knew all the details, you might not be able to figure this out.
This thing got it so wrong.
The premise is wrong in the first place because the media, the U.S. A-Day bunch, CNN, and the New York Times all went down to Florida after all of this aftermath was over.
They looked at all the evidence.
They counted votes every which way you can think of.
And in no count did Al Gore ever lead in Florida.
He would not have won Florida with a statewide recount, with a full recount in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Broward counties, Volusha County.
They could not find a way that Gore won.
And yet HBO does this piece last night.
They also left out something else crucial.
The United States Supreme Court had to shut down the Florida Supreme Court twice.
In the movie last night, they only had to shut it down one time.
But after the first United States Supreme Court ruling, the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court, Charles Wells, said, I've got a piece of paper from the Supreme Court, and they've told us to stop this.
And Barbara Pariente, who was, I think, now the Chief Justice, basically said to hell with it.
And so the Supreme Court had to shut them down again.
So they only portrayed the Supreme Court shutting them down once.
You had a rogue court.
You had a runaway Florida Supreme Court rewriting election law after the election had been certified, which meant that no matter what happened in all of this, the U.S. House of Representatives, I mean, the Florida House of Representatives had certified Bush as the winner of the 25 electoral votes.
And it was the U.S. Congress that was going to solve this.
And Dick Cheney was going to be there to break TIE vote.
There was no way Gore was ever going to win this.
And this is why it's been so amazing to watch the left since 2000 think they got cheated out of an election.
I'm sure they still think they did, but they are not grounded in reality.
Now, the question from Carl in South Carolina, could something like this happen again?
I have told Mrs. Clinton, Sue, Al Gore started this whole thing.
He litigated the 2000 results.
They are not going to count all the votes from Florida and Michigan as it stands now.
They're going to disenfranchise voters from two large states, lots of minorities, as the only way Obama can win.
Now, if the Democrats are not careful here, especially if they're going to keep running these stupid movies like Recount, where the whole theme of that movie last night was count every vote, and the Republicans were standing in the way and being bullies and did not want every vote recounted.
In fact, the Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide recount when the Gore people had never even asked for it.
That's how absurd it got.
But the point is this.
Ever since Florida 2000, the Democrat Party has run around with the theme that Republicans obstruct the vote, that they do not count all the votes, or that they do whatever they can to screw Democrat votes into not counting, tamper with the machines and all that.
Now, now here the Democrats find themselves in this cacophonous and crazy, chaotic nomination scene in which the Democrat Party, in order to secure this nomination for Obama and to end the chaos, is not going to count the votes from Florida and Michigan.
So if the Democrat Party chooses its nominee on the basis of every vote will not count, then they are forever, with any intellectual credibility, canceling one of their big talking points, which is count every vote, but it's the Republicans who stand in the way.
Example, Florida Aftermath 2000.
They've got huge problems.
This Saturday is the meeting of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, which is where they're going to figure out what to do with the Florida and Michigan delegates, and Howard Dean's the guy responsible for figuring this out.
This isn't over, folks.
It's not over.
Chaos is not over.
They've got a lot to think about here.
Documented to me almost always right, 98.8% of the time.
As you know, a year ago in March, so what, about 14 months ago, the Los Angeles Times ran a piece entitled The Magic Negro, Barack the Magic Negro.
And the premise of the Magic Negro is a black guy comes along and makes liberal whites assuage their guilt over our racist past by supporting the black candidate when they had no clue what he stands for.
This was not a favorable piece to Obama.
This is the Hillary guy, David Ehrenstein, who was upset that Obama was getting supported by so many people who had no clue who he was.
Thomas Sowell, writing in National Review Online today, has come up with a better explanation even than the Magic Negro.
Let me read excerpts.
I remember the first time I went to Milton Friedman's office when I was a graduate student at the University of Chicago back in 1960.
I noticed he had a black secretary.
This was four years before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
There was no such thing as affirmative action.
It so happened that Milton Friedman had another black secretary decades later at the Hoover Institution.
She was respected as one of the best secretaries around.
When I mentioned to somebody at Hoover that I was having a hard time finding a secretary who could handle a tough job in my absence, I was told I needed somebody like Milton Friedman's secretary and that there weren't many like her.
At no time in all these years did I hear Milton Friedman say, either publicly or privately, that he had a black secretary.
William F. Buckley's wife once mentioned in passing at dinner in her home that she had been involved for years in working with a screwel in Harlem.
But I never heard her or Bill Buckley ever say that publicly.
Nor do conservatives who were in the civil rights marches in the South back when that was dangerous make their presence a big deal.
For people on the left, however, people on the left, however, blacks are trophies, mascots must therefore be put on display.
Nowhere is that more true than in politics.
The problem with being a mascot is that you are a symbol of someone else's significance or virtue.
The actual well-being of a mascot is not the point.
Liberals all across the country have not hesitated to destroy black neighborhoods in the name of urban renewal, often replacing working-class neighborhoods with upscale homes and pricey businesses, neither of which the former residents can afford.
In academe, lower admissions standards for black students is about having them as a visible presence, even if mismatching them with the particular college university produces high dropout rates.
The black students who don't make it are replaced by others, and when many of them don't make it, there are still more others.
The point is to have black faces on campus as mascots, symbolizing what great people they are running the college or university.
Many, if not most, of the black students who do not make it at big-time high-pressure institutions are perfectly qualified to succeed at the normal range of colleges and universities.
Most white students would also punch out if admitted to schools for which they didn't have the same qualifications as the other students, but nobody needs white mascots.
It goes on.
Dr. Thomas Sowell, today, who is black, for those of you unaware, writing today at National Review Online, Mascot Politics.
Barack Obama's name is not mentioned in this piece, which is why, Mr. Snerdley, I didn't mention Barack Obama other than, to draw a contrast, they had referred to him in the LA Times as the Magic Negro.
The concept of the Magic Negro, black guy comes along, whites who have no idea what he stands for can say they're for him so they can show, prove that they're good people, get rid of their guilt.
In this case, he's talking about universities.
People on the left, blacks are trophies or mascots.
You know, I would be more inclined to mention Joe Biden in this context rather than Obama.
Well, Biden came along and said, hey, finally, we got a clean, articulate black guy.
Serious chance to win our nomination.
I think it's great.
Mascot politics.
Thomas Sowell.
All right.
Audio soundbite time.
Sorry.
There's some, you know, I'm really struggling here.
I got great audio sound bites, and we've got some good calls, too, and a lot of women today.
How do you explain that, Snerdley?
Carolyn in Warren, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
Hi, I'm pretty nervous, and I hope I can articulate my point well.
But I think there's a situation that can happen that everybody can win.
Now, you talked a couple weeks ago, and you waxed very eloquently about the way that Hillary should take this, the way the Democrats are treating her.
She's worked her whole life towards this.
So the party's disenfranchising a lot of the women.
Also, with this, not counting the votes in Florida and Michigan.
Yep.
On the other hand, let's face it, he's a liberal.
And that author you were talking about even last week was saying maybe a good strategy for him would be to pick a Democrat, what better Democrat than Hillary Clinton.
You just move a little bit more to the left.
She move a little bit more to the right.
Well, they could market this.
She could say.
Are you suggesting?
I just want to make sure I understand this, Carolyn.
Are you suggesting that McCain, in order to pick up disaffected feminist votes, women angry because Mrs. Clinton is once again kicked aside for the young dweeb, McCain choose Mrs. Clinton as his vice presidential running mate?
Sure.
And on the other hand, Hillary can say, I've seen the light after being Democrat all the time.
I don't know.
I'd have to run that by David Brooks and Bill Crystal and get their approval on this.
They might find it attractive.
Talk about change.
Forget Obama.
This is real change.
They could even imagine him up on the stage there with Bill and Hillary and McCain all holding hands up in the air.
Even get old Bill, you know.
Well, you know, the only thing, I mean, McCain would have to have a lockdown contract with these people.
And Hillary would have to promise to stop talking about assassination.
A couple other things, too.
So I know what good the Clinton contract, but you still got to go for it.
I don't know.
We'll put that in the hopper, Carolyn.
Hillary Clinton as McCain's vice presidential nominee.
Some will find it appealing.
Lucille in Tarzana, California.
Hi.
Hi.
I just'm so discouraged about everything, all the bad things that are going on being said about the Democrats.
And then McCain, we need some positive things to hear about McCain.
He's all we have.
And I don't know how to try to sell him without you giving me some ideas of some good positive things about him.
He certainly is not my idea of an ideal candidate, but as I said, he's all we have.
So you want some help, some assistance in positive aspects of Senator McCain in order to, quote-unquote, sell him to people that you know who may be doubting him.
Yes.
Okay. I know it's not easy.
Well, no, it's not easy.
As I said, he's all we have.
Yes, I know.
Well, let's see.
Sorry to make it so difficult.
You could say that McCain is for the war.
I mean, he wants to win the war.
He's a big strong on national defense and national security.
Thank goodness for that.
Except for global warming.
Yes, that's.
Let's see.
You know, the story of what happened to him in that prison cell is, I don't know if you know the details of this.
Jeffrey Lord at the Americanspectator.com today has written a great piece.
We should link to that at the American Spectator Day, Jeffrey Lord's piece, because it goes into great detail about the true brutality and evil that the North Vietnamese were in the way they dealt and the way they treated McCain for the five years that he was prisoner of war.
He's also says that he's for lower taxes and reining in government spending.
But the problem is that he opposed the tax cuts that he's now, so we don't know.
Yes, yeah.
But there's always character and leadership.
That's good.
Yeah.
That's good news.
He's got a pretty wife.
That's true, too.
And she's an Anheuser-Busch distributor, and that ain't bad.
He loves America.
Sounds good.
And you can't say that about some of Obama's people.
Oh, my goodness.
No, I can't.
You really can't.
You really cannot say that about some of Obama's people.
True.
Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayres, Bernadine Dorn.
His wife.
Let's see.
What else?
Well, that's a good start.
Yes, it is.
We'll work on it.
You put those in the hopper.
What kind of people are you having trouble convincing out there, Lucille?
Well, it's, you know, a Democrat state.
Well, it's worth it.
You know, in fact, if you heard it, you know where Needles is, right?
Yes, I do.
Needles is going to secede.
That's very clear.
Needles, I'm not kidding.
I've got this story.
Needles, California is fed up.
They want to move to either Arizona or Nevada.
They're fed up.
They are fed up.
Arizona and Nevada are growing.
Needles is fading away.
They closed the hospital.
The state closed the hospital there or reduced its capacity or something.
The mayor, everybody of Needles is fed up.
They want to secede from the state of California.
Well, that's awesome.
I mean, you're governor out there.
Oh, it's all.
I also have a story in the stack here.
The highest paid employees in the state are government employees, and they want to hire more of them.
It's so unfortunate what's happened to California.
It's just, it really is, because I love it so much.
I really do.
Anyway, Lucille, I have to take a quick break, okay?
Thank you.
Thanks for your idea.
You're more than welcome.
We'll brief time out here.
We'll be back and continue after this.
Back to the phones we go here on the Rush Limbaugh program, kicking off a brand new week of Broadcast Excellence.
George in South Windsor, Connecticut.
Welcome, sir.
Yeah, Rush, I wanted to get your take on Oprah's rating drop.
I know it's only 7%, but 7% of millions of viewers is a lot.
And ever since she went in the tank for Obama, talk about disenfranchising the people who got her to where she is, which are mostly females of all color and race.
And now she's down big time.
Well, you know, there are two things you look at here.
The national numbers, the total viewing audience, is down 7%.
But where she's really lost some viewers, and well, let me give you the numbers first and give you a little caveat.
But she's lost a significant percentage of women 25 to 54, and most of her audience is white.
But it's not just that.
Her magazine is down.
Her website is not doing as well.
Some of her other ventures, like she had that show on ABC called The big give, and it started out 15 million viewers the first night, and it lost a third of its audience over the remainder of the run of eight weeks, and she didn't want to do it again.
But I would be very careful about this stuff because, you know, as one who deals in ratings, there are so many vagaries of these things.
For example, I'm on over 600 radio stations.
I don't know how many TV stations she's on.
Of course, not quite as many, but we have a number of rating periods in radio.
Generally, they're every three months.
The winter, the spring, the summer, and the fall books.
And the spring and the fall are the two that I really paid attention to more than the others for advertising rates.
But I can be up in 400 markets and be down in 150 a smidgen and be flat in some of the others and overall up.
It's just, it's a very, very complicated radio ratings are nothing like TV ratings.
TV ratings, you know, the Nielsen boxes.
They're a little bit more immediate.
But I'd still be very careful about this because I don't think this is permanent.
I think once this election season ends and some of this stuff is forgotten, she'll reinvent herself and get back.
She's also spreading herself pretty thin with all these other things that she's doing.
And that's watering down her focus on the TV show.
I'd be very careful.
Start writing off Oprah Winfrey here based on 7%.
And I think, you know, it's interesting.
People who are at the top, they're not writing about how many audience, what kind of audiences stupid Jerry Springer lost?
You know, what kind of audiences Regis and What's Her Name lost?
What kind of audiences the babes on the view lost or gained?
I don't know.
Point is they're not talking about that.
They always shoot at number one.
They always gang up on number one and try, you know, they build people up and then slam them back down.
So I'd be very careful.
I wouldn't write her off.
It may be true.
I don't know if this is media template.
I mean, they don't know why these women aren't watching.
They don't know.
They really don't.
They can go out and interview a sample, but they cannot talk to every woman that's got a Nielsen media box in her house and say, why aren't you watching Oprah?
Oprah, there's even a media template here.
And the media template is that when Obama or when Oprah went out with Obama, that she, you know, she politicized a program that has supposedly never been political, and that drove some of the women away.
And that template is erroneous.
Oprah Winfrey is the essence of political.
She has always been political.
There's no doubt Oprah Winfrey is a huge lib.
The problem for Oprah is that there are two huge libs and she chose one.
And so the ones that liked Hillary, it's quite natural they'd get mad at her.
But they'll be back once this is all over.
This is why you will never see Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods start endorsing candidates or taking a position on any controversial issue.
Michael Jordan realizes that Republicans and Democrats, independents, progressives, atheists, Christians, they all buy tennis shoes.
And Tiger Woods understands the same thing about the products he sells.
They all buy Buicks.
They all buy golf balls, the ones that play.
There's nothing in it for Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods to come out and start endorsing candidates or to even let anybody know what their political leanings are, even though we all know that Michael Jordan's a Democrat, but he doesn't stump for him.
It's not part of his identity.
Oprah, you know, she made that leap.
She chose a liberal when she already is one when there were two to choose from.
So I wouldn't get too happy about this because it really doesn't mean much.
She will be back.
I think it's the Huffington Post.
