Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, on Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
One big exciting hour to go in yet another summer spectacular as I, El Rushball, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, all-concerned maha-rushy, engage in broadcast excellence, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every time I pop out a syllable.

This has to be the worst day in Hillary Clinton's life.
Let me describe for you what I just witnessed.
And by the way, I witnessed it from the office of Bo Sturdley, who is fit to be tied.
He is still steaming over the story we had yesterday about the upcoming PBS documentary starting on Monday night that portrays the United States as no different than the Nazis or the Russians, and that we didn't win anything in World War II, that we were just evil murderers of women and children and citizens.
Warned you about this yesterday.
Then he's also steaming about the news he just heard that a columnist for the New York Times, ostensibly a conservative, is hawking a new book by a couple young Republicans who offer as their recipe to fix the Republican Party the notion the Republicans need to look to the New Deal.
That was a conservative approach to attracting middle-class, working-class voters.
He's sitting in his desk.
He's penned, what's next?
I don't know what's next, Mr. Sturdley, but there will be something.
Probably, you know, that might not be.
You know what?
This is an interesting thing.
If you want to talk about what next based on the trend lines, you could say that up next, somebody in the pseudo-conservative media will undertake to do a new analysis of communism and suggest that there was actually a lot of conservatism involved in that.
And that the communists, they certainly had control over the working class.
Well, hell's bells, folks, if you're going to go out there and say the New Deal was conservative.
What can't be?
What can't be conservative?
Anyway, I have to tell you what I saw while Sturdley was venting back there.
I'd mentioned to you right before the previous hour concluded.
This has to be Mrs. Clinton's worst day of her life.
She's in hockey 22 million bucks.
10 million of that she owes vendors, the charter aircraft company, the hotels, the meals, the buses, you know, the balloon people.
She owes all of those people for her campaign.
She's in debt.
So she's turned to Obama for help.
And Obama has said that he will do what he can.
His donors, he's ruled out his $15 and $20 donors.
Now that won't make it down.
He's going after the big guns.
So you have this lady in hoc for millions who can't raise a plug nickel.
And she's also at the same time telling her money machine to go out and help and give to Obama.
So while she's telling her people to give to Obama, Obama's telling his people to give to her.
But today, she had to go to a place called Unity, New Hampshire, where Obama is saying real change can't happen without unity.
Obama's the star of the show, obviously.
He's the nominee.
Mrs. Clinton is standing there throughout his speech, off to his right, stage left, as you're looking at your TV.
The crowd's going nuts.
They got a mixture of white and black people in the TV shot in the background.
And they've interestingly got red signs and blue signs to denote unity between the red states and the blue states.
And Obama's being cheered, as he usually is, and Mrs. Clinton is standing there with a look of admiration and awe on her face while he speaks.
She's standing there doing nothing.
She's standing there as the loser.
She knows that everybody knows that she's standing there because she needs $10 million from this little rookie hick who wiped her out, took away her only chance, perhaps, to achieve what she thought was hers by virtue of Jennifer Flowers and Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky and Juanita Broderick and all the others.
It's gone.
Poof.
22 million in debt.
She's standing there listening to this guy go on and on and on.
And she knows full well that the only difference between what he is saying and a bag of manure is the bag.
And she's standing there while looking admiringly and in awe at Barack Obama, cursing her campaign staff, her husband, and everybody involved in her campaign.
And she is really teed off at whoever it was that convinced her to show up in Unity, New Hampshire today to stand there like an irrelevant, defeated candidate, looking admiringly at somebody she'd like to squash like a cockroach.
Except there would be too many witnesses if she did it today.
So she had, you talk about, I mean, we all in life, folks, some days, you know, we all have to eat the excrement sandwich.
Some days we get mayonnaise, some days we get mustard, some days it's plain, today was plain.
She is asking herself through all of this, what in the name of hell happened here?
She demonstrated today, among many things, that the age-old cliché that women can fake it and thank God they can is true.
Because this was one of the biggest fake job appearances I have ever seen.
This was the last place she wanted to be.
This was the last circumstance she wanted to be, the last place and circumstance she ever thought she would be.
Her husband wasn't there.
He didn't have to stand up there as a loser.
He's out working the crowd looking for babes or whatever, signing autographs.
She's up there in the blue pantsuit, standing demurely off to the side as an irrelevancy with her hands clasped in front of her, looking admiringly and in awe at the Messiah.
And Obama did deign to mention her a couple of times.
And the crowd applauded tepidly.
Mrs. Clinton turned to the audience and acknowledged the tepid applause with a frozen smile on her face.
Obama continued to speak reveling in this moment, knowing full well that she looked like a dwarf compared to his tall stature.
No jacket, white shirt and tie, sleeves rolled up, Mrs. Clinton all wrapped up like it's wintertime because of the freeze that she feels in unity at New Hampshire.
And then, ladies and gentlemen, after putting, after going through this show for what appeared to be 10, 12 minutes, and to Mrs. Clinton, it had to be a day.
Obama then graciously ends the performance.
After he soaks up some applause for a second or two, he then moves in her direction and puts his arm around her.
She immediately, instinctively, I'm not even sure she was aware she did this, moved in the opposite direction.
When Obama made the move toward Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton made the move away from Obama, but he caught up and they held hands and the applause was happening.
And Mrs. Clinton had the saddest smile I have ever seen on her face.
And I said to Snerdley watching this, now wait a minute, we've got to both raise their hands up, you know, like they do at a convention.
That didn't happen.
They held hands for a mere matter of seconds.
And then the piece de l'résistance, the ultimate insult.
When they separated, Mrs. Clinton darted to the left, out of camera range.
Senator Obama stood for a few more seconds, soaking in the applause, looking around, where did she go?
Then he said, oh, hell with it, and walked off the stage immediately behind the podium where he was mobbed.
The cameraman then said, because I'm sure somebody was talking to his ear, where's Hillary?
And that camera did a massive pan back and forth searching for Hillary.
Couldn't find Hillary.
She was nowhere.
They found Obama mobbed.
They finally did find Hillary talking to one woman, smiling, signing an autograph.
The point is, when this was over, these two went opposite directions as fast as an AC current meets a DC current.
Music maestro Barry White and Love Unlimited Orchestra.
Remember the name of this tune, Snurdly?
My sweet summer sweet.
I love Barry White.
His wife's name was Glodine.
One of them, anyway.
There's a picture, a funny picture here from a blog called the Say Anything blog, and it's from their June 10th issue of the Say Anything blog.
And I guess somewhere they were asking people a question, should Congress continue to fund National Public Radio?
I knew it was a newspaper.
Because what they've done is link here to pictures of local residents who answer the question.
Now, there's a guy here.
His name is Richard Guess from Charlestown.
I don't know Charlestown where, doesn't say.
But this guy looks exactly like what you think liberals think Southerners look like.
And here is Richard Guess's answer to the question, should Congress continue to fund National Public Radio?
Congress should continue paying for it, because if they don't, the taxpayers will end up paying for it.
Now, what do you bet this guy votes Democrat?
All right, back to the phones on Open Line Friday.
This is Bill in Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania.
Hi, Bill.
Great to have you here.
Mega Ditto's Rush.
Thank you.
How are you today?
Good.
Thanks, sir.
Great show.
Hey, I have a couple questions about cigars for you.
Yes, sir.
I started buying some La Flora Dominicana double Leguero chisels.
Good man.
I guess last year.
And I actually, I talked to the salespeople at the shop where I buy my adult beverages and my cigars.
Yes.
And they gave me some hints on how to cut these things properly.
You don't cut them?
You use a plug cutter about a quarter inch up?
No, no, no, no.
You don't cut the La Flore Dominicana double Leguero chisel.
Good.
This is what I was looking for.
You don't cut that thing.
Why get rid of the chisel?
The purpose of the chisel is to focus and concentrate the smoke as you draw it from the cigar.
If you put a hole in that thing, you're defeating the purpose.
Well, all you do, here's what you do with the La Flore Dominicana double Leguero chisel.
You just take the end of the chisel and you pinch it.
Okay.
And the wrapper leaf will split at the end, and there you go.
You never cut a La Flore Dominicana double Leguero chisel.
Okay, well, let me explain myself a little further.
Brian, go grab me one out of the humidor.
They were using a plug cutter, and they would go about a quarter inch up the flat and cut into the side of the chisel.
Yeah.
The tip of the chisel would stay intact.
Yeah.
And you would have a plug cut removed from the top or the bottom of that chisel.
Yeah, but how far up?
I mean, you don't want to have to swallow the damn thing.
Oh, no, you don't.
You don't have to go very far.
And it seems like you can direct the smoke to the top of your mouth or the bottom of your mouth.
But you're telling me all you do is just pinch the end.
I've got one in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers right here.
Okay, so if you're watching.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you a member of my website?
Absolutely.
Are you watching right now on the DittoCam?
No.
Well, you will be able to see this later on the DittoCam if you go to my website, right?
No, okay.
Well, my computer right now is a little slow and a little down.
You mean it's not working?
It's working a little bit, but.
All right.
So what you're saying is you can't watch video.
No, I can't.
Okay, well, this is easy.
Okay.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to have the webmaster grab a still shot of what I'm going to do here.
Okay.
And we'll put the still shot on the website this afternoon when we update it, and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
Great.
Okay.
Now I'm going to have to beg your indulgence because I've got to zoom in the DittoCam here to the double Leguero chisel.
And there it is.
Oh, it's going to be focused.
Let me back out.
Okay, there it is.
The band.
What he's talking about here, folks, is getting a circular cutter to put right in the top there, about there, and just go about an eighth of an inch in and pull that plug out.
And then with that, you've put your cigar in your mouth, and that way you have the smoke coming out of the top of the cigar.
Absolutely correct.
But this is not the way to do it.
I'm going to show the chisel here.
Get it up against my black shirt.
You can see why they call it a chisel.
You just take your finger, pinch it like this.
It now draws like great.
Let me back out here.
I'm going to light it.
I have not cut it.
There's not one hole in the wrapper, top or bottom.
There is a barely detectable slit at the very end of the chisel.
In this way, when I draw the tobacco and the smoke from the cigar, it concentrates through that chisel for one of the finest tastes a cigar smoker will ever experience.
The La Flore de Minicana double Leguero chisel is the strongest cigar I have ever smoked from anywhere.
Is that well?
You know, down at the shop that I buy mine from, I also buy other double Legueros that are not chisels.
And they're kind of astounded because I've smoked up to five of them on a Saturday afternoon.
Well, and this was the question because my regular everyday cigar is a Punch Elite.
Or some time I go with a Punch Rothschild.
Yeah, those are much, much milder.
Are you one of these people that start out with a mild cigar at the beginning of the day and then you get stronger as the day goes on?
I'll tell you how it happened.
I was handed 55 Tiamos back in 1990 by a friend of mine.
And I was on third shift and I used to listen to you religiously every day because I couldn't sleep during the daytime.
Yeah, yeah.
And somewhere along that line, I heard you talking about the LaFlores.
I was a little reluctant to buy them at the time because I didn't have the cash flow I do now and they're a little pricey.
But what do they cost you?
A double Leguero chisel is about seven bucks a pop.
Oh, you're getting a deal.
Well, I don't know.
There's a couple of places that I found them a little cheaper if I buy them by the box load.
Well, the point is this.
When you talk about your punches, your Rothschild and yeah, no, no, do you start your day with a mild cigar and then build up to a strong one after dinner?
Is that what you do?
My day start, my cigar smoking starts when I come home from work, and that could be anywhere from 6 to 6:30 in the morning.
Oh, okay.
Well, then because most people make the mistake of starting mild during the day and then get stronger as the day goes on.
Oh, no.
You smoke the first cigar you smoke of the day.
I don't care when it is, you smoke your favorite.
Because that's when your palate is the most receptive to the flavor.
Saturday and Sundays are when I usually burn my LaFlores.
And I have sitting here in my humidor is a Ziploc bag with one of those Bovita things in it or whatever they are.
Well, everybody has to start somewhere.
I've been there.
But I have these.
I have three.
They look like about a Churchill size or maybe a little longer.
It's called the Factory Press.
They were not cellophane-wrapped.
No, of course, that's a special edition cigar.
I've got a box of those.
Look, go to the website tonight.
You'll see what I'm talking about on how to pinch this.
You never cut one.
A Motown song.
Rod Stewart and Ronald Isley on a cover of an Isley Brothers tune of the same name.
No, take it back.
Different song.
This is an original.
Great to have you back, folks.
Open line Friday.
There was an event on Capitol Hill yesterday to give you an idea.
Do you know how many hearings, by the way, the Congress, House and Senate combined, have had on oil and energy this year?
How many hearings there have been with the big oil execs and without?
Just exploratory hearings.
They've had 40 hearings on oil and energy.
And has anything happened?
Yes, the prices continue to go up.
Do you know how many hearings they have had on whether or not the United States tortures detainees?
They've had over 60 in the House and Senate combined.
Over 60 House and Senate hearings.
And there was another one yesterday.
It was the Constitution Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee.
And Massachusetts Representative Bill Delahunt was questioning David Addington.
David Addington is chief of staff, former counsel to vice president Cheney.
Addington, a very private guy, does not show up in public.
He was forced to show up at this hearing.
They asked him the typical stupid questions, and he just stuck it to these guys by not bending over forwards and grabbing the ankles like Republicans usually do or anybody else does when they face a congressional committee.
This did not sit well with Bill Delahunt, who said this.
Oh, I can understand why he doesn't talk about it.
You've got to communicate with Al-Qaeda.
If you do, I can't talk to you.
Al-Qaeda may watch C-SPAN.
Right.
Well, I'm sure they are watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington.
I'm sure you're pleased.
Now, you need me to translate this for you.
Delahunt said, oh, I can understand why the president he was talking about doesn't talk about it, Addington, because you've got to communicate with Al-Qaeda.
If you do, I can't talk to you.
Al-Qaeda may watch C-SPAN.
I can't tell you what we're doing about Al-Qaeda.
Not here.
Delahunt says, yeah, well, I'm sure Al-Qaeda's watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington.
A number of people have inferred from this that Delahunt would not be disappointed if Al-Qaeda took Addington out now that they know who he is.
Delahunt has said, I didn't say they.
I didn't say that finally they've had a chance to see you.
I said, finally, I've had a chance to see you.
Okay, he says, finally, I've had a chance.
Let's see if that's what he said.
Let's listen to this again now.
Oh, I can understand why he doesn't talk about it.
You've got to communicate with Al-Qaeda.
If you do, I can't talk to you.
Al-Qaeda may watch C-SPAN movies.
Right.
Well, I'm sure they are watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington.
I'm sure you're pleased.
Did you hear him say I?
No, he said they twice.
These, ladies and gentlemen, your modern-day liberal Democrats of the Democrat Party, BC in Birmingham, Alabama.
You're next in Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Rush, thanks for being there for us.
Yes, sir.
Thanks for at least injecting a little bit of humor into some gloomy-looking times here.
Hey, when we're talking Obama and Hillary, I mean, you've got to laugh.
They're funny.
I know they pose a threat, but I mean, they're just both laughable.
Well, that's true.
I've got a little bit of concern about the stock market, if and when our friend Obama gets elected.
I'm a former broker, and the market bottomed out in 2002, I think it was September.
And there's an awful, awful lot of institutional money in the market that's been sitting there on longtime capital gains.
And Obama's already promised to raise the capital gains tax.
And there's not an institutional trader out there that's going to allow their trading performance rating to be ruined by a 10 or 15 percent increase in the capital gains tax.
So when he's elected, it's going south.
Yeah, I hear what you're saying, that all these people with realized gains that are significant are going to sit around and let Obama tax the cap gains that they've experienced over the years at 25% most of the current 15%, so they'll sell out.
Yeah.
And that'll take a lot of money out of the markets, what you're saying.
Yeah.
Well, you know, this is no comfort, but when Obama was talking about raising the capital gains, do you remember what he said?
Somebody pointed out to him, Senator, he said, I'm going to raise capital gains at least to 25% and maybe 30%.
And I said, Senator, do you realize what a tax increase that is on investors?
Well, okay, then we'll just have a lower increase for middle-class investors.
And people were scratching there.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
No.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
He has changed his mind on FISA.
He has flipped on the constitutionality of the Second Amendment.
He probably will flip on this in the sense.
Let's hope so.
I don't think he's going to raise the capital gains rate.
I don't think he's going to double it.
But if you're a broker, you're looking at the market right now.
We don't need Obama.
All we need is the threat of Obama.
You tell, you know, we haven't talked about this.
This market, there is more fear in this market than I have seen, and I don't know how long.
General Motors is trading at a historic low.
Ford is at an historic low.
They've got to sell bonds.
There's some people reluctant to buy bonds to get in and prop these things up.
Those two companies employ 500,000 Americans.
I guarantee you, if things keep up, we are not going to allow them to go bankrupt.
That somebody will step in like a Chrysler bailout.
Something will happen.
But it's bad in this regard.
And why is there so much pessimism in the market?
Where is all the pessimism today?
You turn on the news any day and you find out gasoline is going to be seven bucks in four years.
Oil is going to be $200 in four years.
Then we've got everybody focusing on the Federal Reserve every day.
What are they going to do with interest rates?
What do their minutes say?
We've got just a number of people worried.
All these Democrats talking about raising taxes left and right.
And they look at the polls.
They look at the McCain campaign.
They say, oh, my God.
Don't tell me that doesn't have an impact on people and the way they're thinking of investing.
Oh, yeah.
What I'm hoping is that enough people will realize this decline is a huge buying opportunity.
I mean, we're down in the 1,100 today, folks.
We haven't been here since 2000, what is it, 2006?
Yeah.
Well, we're down 72 points right now.
On top of 300 something.
Yeah, but we were down 140, so it's rebounding a little bit right now.
But we were down 300 yesterday, and that's all because even with there's news today that salaries, wages are up and productivity is up, but whatever the Fed did by not changing rates and the oil price did hit 143 today.
Now, there's an other interesting point about that that I want to make.
The oil barrel price did, I think it's at 140, let me check.
I'll find out.
Right now, what the oil price is, a crude oil price is at 140.35, but it got up to 143.04 not too long ago, not very many minutes ago.
It was at 143.
Now, what's happening while all these speculators are being targeted?
Every politician in Washington, speculators, these dirty rotten speculators, the liberal machine, the leftists, the Democrats have found the demon, and it's the speculators.
Some people are trying to say, no, no, no, it's not speculators.
But the Democrats, therefore the media, have identified the demon.
The reason your gas price is so high, the reason the oil price is so high, is because of these speculators.
Now, you would think, would you not, that the speculators would be a little paranoid.
You would think, and we, by the way, we hear all this talk about regulating the speculators.
McCain's talking about it.
Obama's talking about it.
A number of people are talking about getting even with these guys.
We all need a demon.
And yet the speculators are saying, so what?
Screw you.
And they're going about their business.
And while all these brave, courageous politicians who haven't produced a drop of oil in their lives, threatening everybody else that does, one way or the other, deal with this product, and all these threats and all these promises of heavy-handed action from Washington don't seem to be deterring the speculators.
143, speculators are sitting there speculating.
Gets to 143, they look to Washington and say, you which means the free market's what's working here, folks.
Back in just a sec.
Hoping line of Friday, Rush Limbaugh.
And more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
It really is.
Alex in Frisco, Texas.
I'm glad you called, sir.
You're next.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.
Hi, Alex.
Hi.
Mega Dittos.
I'm 16.
I've been listening to your show since I believe I was eight, so I'm a huge fan.
You are a rush baby.
Yes, I am.
Thanks to my dad.
He and I came up with a way to basically ensure victory for John McCain, even though it's not really a great thing, but it's better than Obama.
He launches a series of ads that show how this is Obama's kind of change and show him how he flip-flops on all the issues.
It kind of destroyed John Kerry back in the last election.
Yeah, you know, here's the difference.
And I have a lot of people have suggested that Obama's flip-flopping.
The problem, Kerry actually comes off as a huge lughead dope.
Obama doesn't.
When John Kerry says, I voted for it before I voted against it, that's made to order.
Obama hasn't done that.
He said one thing last year and another thing this year, and you have to go back and contrast the two.
In Kerry's case, he admitted it in one sentence that you could exploit.
He thinks he's so smart, and he just thinks that nobody's going to be able to keep up with him when he does dumb things and says dumb things is free.
Now, another reason why this is a problem, it could work, but the drive-bys are in the process of handling this.
They are covering for Obama.
Let me call to your attention, Alex, a story in the New York Times today by Michael Powell.
This is a story about Obama's flip-flops, but the Times is not calling them flip-flops.
The Times is referring to these as Obama recalibrating his positions.
For Obama, a pragmatist's shift toward the center.
And they list all kinds of issues.
The Second Amendment.
Yeah, he's a policy pirouette.
They are saying that what you're calling flip-flops, Alex, are pragmatism, recalibrations, and maturity.
And a historian in this story even admits, hey, he could be honest about these things, too.
They could not be just, you know, convenience shifts.
They could really mean this.
At the same time, the drive-bys are doing stories asking for some substance from Obama.
They want him to actually get serious.
He's out there saying a lot of nothing.
They want to hear him get serious.
They think they've got this in the bag.
They want to hear what he's going to do.
They want to hear liberalism out of the guy.
Mr. Obama is an introspective.
It's the last line of the story, the New York Times.
Mr. Obama is an introspective candidate and perhaps the best analysis or analyst of his own political style.
Now, stop and think of that.
The drive-bys are allowing Obama to analyze his style.
You think they would allow McCain to analyze his style?
Or me or George W. Bush?
No, they're going to sit there and be in judgment of it.
Mr. Obama is an introspective candidate, perhaps the best analyst of his own political style.
Quote, Obama.
I serve as a blank screen, he wrote in The Audacity of Hope, on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.
So he's basically saying, I don't have to take a position because I am what people think I am.
I have managed to be whatever they want me to be.
And that's my secret.
If they want tough on foreign policy, that's what they think I am.
If they want somebody that's going to go talk to these evil despots around the world and tame them, that's what they think I am.
If they think I'm going to raise taxes on big oil and make the gas price better, that's what they think I am.
And I don't have to say word one.
That's what this means.
I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.
So for those of you in the drive-bys, you want substance?
Call this what it is.
Call the guy a blank slate and challenge him on it.
Instead, the drive-bys are calling him a pragmatist, that he has executed several policy pirouettes, that he is recalibrating his positions.
So while McCain's camp could put together these commercials that show flip-flops, the drive-by reaction is going to be politics as usual.
There goes McCain, personal attacks.
Of course, Obama has evolved.
Of course, he has done policy pirouettes.
He's learning as he goes.
So it's that they're going to have to be, I think, other ways of going back.
For example, I think Obama is an empty suit, but a lot of people think that he is a 140 IQ Mensa.
I don't, yeah, it's probably a little bit of a tutu if he's pirouetting too.
But the point is that going after this guy is going to require a different technique than the standard.
He's lying.
I think the American public are sick and tired of us saying he's lying.
We said Clinton was lying.
It didn't help.
Because I think, frankly, they think all politicians lie.
The way to go after Obama, I don't know how to do it.
I mean, this is not my business, but he's likable.
And something's going to have to happen to change that.
See, Kerry was not likable.
You couple that with all of his arrogance and condescending flip-flops.
And he still got a tremendous number of votes.
Anyway, I got time to squeeze one more in here.
I think I've got one minute.
Where do I go?
Time is dwindling away.
Oh, this is Decatur Georgia Arborin.
Hi, nice to have you on the program.
Greetings, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
You bet.
I was watching the documentary earlier this week when we were kings about the Ali Foreman fight, the Rumble in the Jungle.
Oh, yeah.
And they were doing some the background on both fighters.
And to do that for Ali, of course, you have to do the two Sonny Liston matches.
And I'm a big sports fan and not a conspiracy theorist, but I had never heard this before, and I wanted to get your take on it.
Of course, the supposed phantom punch in the second fight that knocked Liston down.
I Wikipedia Liston's entry on his biography, and in that Wikipedia entry.
What?
Quickly.
Okay, they said that he took a dive.
Listen claims to have taken a dive because he was threatened by the nation of Islam.
I've heard that Liston took a dive.
I've not heard about the nation of Islam.
It was a phantom punch.
Nobody saw it.
Even Ali said you didn't see it.
He didn't see it.
It was so fast.
Who knows?
But are you depressed now because there's two days without me facing you?
