Time Text
And we are back here at the Distinguished and Prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I am your host, America's Recher Man.
America's truth detector.
America's Doctor of Democracy.
And Nobel Peace Prize nominee, too.
You can never take that away from me.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, great to be with you, folks.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
Email address Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
Keith Kelly Today in the New York Post, a story on the New Yorker cover.
This just gets even better.
Mr. Kelly writes, as it turns out it might not be just the Obama campaign that's bent out of shape over this week's cover of the New Yorker.
Rumors have swirled inside Condi Nas, the publisher, that advertisers also were upset with the latest rhubarb, which depicts Obama and his wife as Muslims preparing to blow up the Oval Office, American flag burning in the fireplace.
You've seen it, you've heard about it.
The publisher said that he has indeed heard from people, but as far as he knows, none of them has been an advertiser, only disgruntled readers.
Our numbers are the first telephone numbers listed in the magazine, so we're probably getting a lot of the calls.
As to how many angry calls had poured in, the publisher said he had no way of gauging.
Now, while this type of controversy is the last thing a publisher needs in these troubled times, certainly if it gives advertisers pause, the timing is especially bad for the New Yorker.
The magazine is now among the most troubled magazines at Condy Nast, and it remains to be seen if the current controversy upsets the title's tenuous hold on profitability.
You know what's amazing about this?
As an accomplished, powerful member of the media.
This goes against every theory.
This kind of cover and this kind of attention ought to cause massive amounts of new interest in this magazine.
There ought to be people running out there, buying this magazine as fast as they can off the shelves, if for no other reason than the collector's nature of the cover art.
And now these stories advertisers don't like it and the readers don't like it.
Well, let me let me if the readers don't like it, then something doesn't make sense to me.
Because the drive-bys have been saying that their primary concern over this cover was that the idiots and morons in the central part of the country in flyover country, Kansas or Wisconsin, Missouri, those places, that they weren't going to be smart enough to figure it out.
And they were going to think that, wow, it must be true.
Here's a liberal magazine with Obama as Muhammad and his wife as a terrorist and Muslims on the cover.
Why it must be true.
That's what they were afraid of.
But yet what we're told here in this story from the New York Post is that the magazine's own readers don't like it.
Now I thought the magazine's readers were sophisticated.
I thought the magazine's readers were sophisticated and intelligent, and the only ones capable of recognizing the brilliant satire that this piece is.
And yet, this story says they're getting deluged with angry readers about the cover.
Now that must mean that the New Yorker's reader is the so-called elite, the sophisticated, look at the cover and think that New Yorker is also calling Obama a Muslim and his wife an Angela Davis type terrorist.
So when you put it all together, it must mean that the New Yorker has an audience that's a bunch of boobs.
And yet the drive-bys are concerned that it's the Hicks and the Hayseeds, the Hoy Poloi.
That are not going to understand this.
Little story here from Livescience.com.
People with voices deemed sexy and attractive tend to have greater body symmetry upon close inspection.
Who got to do the close inspection?
That's when I see a story like this That says upon close inspection.
I wonder who got to do that.
The sound of a person's voice reveals a considerable amount of biological information, said Susan Hughes, an evolutionary psychologist from Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania.
It can reflect the mate value of a person.
Hughes, whose new study is detailed in the June 2008 edition of the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior.
Well, hell, we got to get on that list.
I thought we subscribed all these things, but I've never heard of this.
We have to get a subscription, and we can get a free one because we are powerful, influential members of the media here.
The Journal of Nonverbal Behavior.
And a new study is detailed in the issue.
It cautions that an attractive voice does not necessarily indicate that this person has an attractive face.
Now, let me let me let me jump in here, ladies and gentlemen, with uh some personal testimony based on years, years of experience, guided by intelligence.
They did not need to do a survey, a study.
They didn't need to do any close inspection to learn that somebody with an attractive voice has an attractive face.
They didn't need to do this.
Virtually anybody, any male who has been a disc jockey at any radio station at any time since Marconi invented it, could tell you this.
The way I'll just tell you my experiences when I was a struggling young disc jockey star of the future.
While you were playing the hits and playing the tunes, getting ready for the next hit to play, of course you've got a little downtime in there, getting the next commercial set set up and whatever you have to do, and the phones are ringing off the hook, usually, if you're on a station that has an audience, and they're calling to make requests, uh maybe calling to enter a contest, be the 43rd caller and you can win this little trip down to the sewer, whatever the station was giving away.
And among those people calling were groupies.
They were the legion.
The female brand, you know what I'm talking about.
You probably never, as an engineer, you probably haven't dealt with this personally, but you know that they're out there.
Okay, you know that they're out there.
And I'll tell you some of them, they were you pick up the phone and talk to them, and man, those voices that some of them had.
You would, despite what you knew, as a disc, despite what you knew, you'd say this one has to be for real.
And you'd set up a meeting.
You'd get disappointed every damn time until you finally figured out that if they had anything worthwhile to do, they wouldn't be calling you.
I developed as a struggling young disc jockey a system for this, because I kept, you know, hope is a strange thing, as Obama knows.
I kept hoping that just one of these times, now remember I'm 16, 17, 18, 20, 21.
I kept hoping that just one of these times one of these beautiful voices would match a beautiful face.
Never ever did.
Never.
So I had a system set up to find out.
I would um suggest it, it takes a while for this to happen, but you suggest getting together, which is what the groupie wants in the first place.
But you don't jump at it, because you don't want to appear desperate.
Because just like the groupie, the groupie had anything better to do, she wouldn't be calling you.
If you had anything better to do, you wouldn't be running around trying to meet the groupie.
I mean, it works both ways.
I am now mature enough to admit this to you and to myself.
So what I would do is I would lie about the kind of car I had, and I would lie about the time that I was going to meet the groupie.
So I'd say, okay, I'm showing up at X Place, and I'm driving this.
You stand out there and I'll drive up and describe yourself on the phone and always a lie as well.
Uh and then you drive by a little later than you said you would be there, not much, sometimes a little earlier, in a car that you've lied about, and you scope it out, and I guarantee you every damn time you just kept driving.
Not one time.
Not once, Dawn, not once did I stop.
Mr. Limbaugh, that found so mean and cruel I'm sure it does to some of you new Kastravy, but it's the whole point of telling this story is they've just finished who knows how much money this cost, a research survey for a magazine called the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior.
And the big result is a caution that an attractive voice does not necessarily indicate that the person has an attractive face.
Anybody with experience that could have told them this.
And it would not have been anecdotal.
There's there's I mean, I c I can't think, but I knew a lot of other guys who were DJs and did the whole thing.
And some of them had, you know, low standards.
I didn't care what the grouping looked like.
They just wanted the feedback and the ego thrill.
And that was not me.
I had I had much higher standards.
But there was there were never any exceptions to this.
Never.
Never, ever.
Back in just a second.
Talent on loan from God.
Rush Limbaugh to um Harper Woods, Michigan.
This is Bob.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
You're next.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh I know you don't like guests on your show, but I wish you would invite Barack Hussein Obama to come on and let him say anything he wants, and maybe he would let you answer some of his questions.
Maybe free advertising.
Well, maybe he would let me answer some of his questions.
You mean bring him on?
I I I think he gets I think he gets easy questioners.
Let him come on and say anything he wants, anything, and then let you ask him a few questions.
Oh, I was gonna say I th I thought you said at first you wanted him to interview me.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
You you let him say anything he wants.
Let him get to free advertising.
But I would like to know why he wouldn't want to come on your show.
Everybody would love to be on your show.
Um I don't I don't I don't think he would come on the program.
Well, I don't think he would either, but I think you should for five days in a row, you should invite him, just out of the goodness of your heart.
Let him say no and explain why he wouldn't want to come on your show.
Let him explain why he wouldn't want to be on your show.
You got a lot of listeners.
Um yeah, but that wouldn't be a hard thing for them to explain.
I mean, why th why should we go on some entertainer show?
Why should we go on some show?
The only purpose of which is for this guy to try to slice in dice us.
This guy's not a journalist, he's not interested in what I have to say.
He just I they they could they could uh they could they could handle that as far as their supporters are uh are concerned.
But you know, here's the pro Bob, you know, I or is it Bud.
But here's here's here's the problem with this, and I'm I I'm looking, I just must be brazenly blatantly straightforwardly honest.
I don't care to talk to Obama.
There's nothing I want to ask him.
I know everything I need to know.
I I I don't I've one of the reasons I don't have guests, period, is because I'm not curious to talk to people.
I did just d I and I don't want to turn over the responsibility of the success of this program to a bunch of rank amateur broadcasters who don't care about the success of this program, and the worst thing can happen is for the audience to get bored.
And if if I if I had if I if I if I had Obama on, then I'd be faced with the um the the possibility of having to give equal time to McCain.
Although I doubt he would insist on it in this case, but uh he would still be entitled to it.
I just I don't there's I don't need to ask Obama anything.
And I I look at I know these I know liberals.
I know them, I know what they're gonna say before they say it.
I know what they're gonna do before they do it, I know how they're gonna explain their failures when their ideas don't work.
Uh it wouldn't it wouldn't serve any pro I guarantee if I had Obama on here in a conversation, all that would happen is that people who listen to this program regularly would get mad at me for going soft and not trying to destroy the guy, because I'm a polite person.
They would get mad at me for this or even wasting their time having him on or what have you.
So they wanted to hear me.
So I just don't think that it would uh it would ever hit.
Look but bottom line is this if I don't care to do it, if I'm not interested in it, then it isn't gonna sound good if it happens.
Uh plain and simple.
Vicky in Dayton, Ohio.
Nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rice.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Thank you.
Um listen, the reason I'm calling is that I heard Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats speaking yesterday, and they were introducing their plan to save the the gas and things like that.
And their plan was like to take the oil out of the strategic oil reserve.
Yeah.
Well, my question is this how will that help us in ten years?
Uh it won't help us, period, because as the president said yesterday, it doesn't get to the fundamental problem.
That's what I was thinking there's just take it all out.
No plan for the future, or it's not going to help us in ten years.
It seems to me if the Democrats were serious about this gas problem, they would try to compromise with the president.
They're not Vicky.
The Democrats have exactly what they want.
They haven't they have been touting all this BS about conservation.
They have been hoping for higher prices for a long time to try to affect people's behavior.
They don't like the way people behave with affordable gasoline.
They don't like it.
They want to control people's behavior as much as possible.
And so the dirty little secret is they like you being unhappy with the gas price.
They like you being on edge.
They like you being ready to blow your top every time you pull in there to the gas station to fill up.
They want you mad.
They want you blaming it on Bush.
They want you blaming it on the Republicans.
They want you suffering.
They want you in the frame of mind that you're in.
That's why Pelosi's out calling the drilling a distraction.
It's a hoax.
It ain't gonna happen anything for ten years.
It's not even ten years.
You know, that's another myth about this.
If we started drilling this, where'd this get started?
It takes ten years.
That's another one of these drive-by media figures like there were three million homeless when there never were.
You'll probably get this done in four or five years in certain places.
But that's not the point.
They don't want to drill for anything.
They don't want a bigger supply.
They they're gonna and but so it turns out they're gonna get one anyway, because people are using less.
Here was uh Pelosi yesterday, she had a press conference in Washington, a portion here of what she said.
It's the economy, Mr. President.
It's the economy.
It's about jobs and people not having them.
It's about their standard of living and purchasing power of their income going down because of the increase in the price of gasoline and groceries and health care and education, as others have mentioned.
This economy needs the president's attention, and he doesn't need to have any diversionary tactics about drilling offshore.
What did he say the other day?
If we could only drill offshore, the economy would be better.
That is a poor excuse from a president of the United States.
She's just she's she's not irrelevant because she's speaker of the house, but it's just it's frankly it's embarrassing to me.
I just to have somebody this willing to sound this naive.
I don't know how naive she is.
I really know how stupid she is.
I don't know her personally.
And but she's willing to sound dumb if she isn't dumb.
She's willing to sound ignorant if she's not ignorant.
She's willing to sound obtuse if she's not.
I think this woman is so partisan politically that it clouds her perception and view of reality at all costs.
I think this woman is 100% total politics, and the political prism through which she looks through everything is destroying President Bush and uh and and Republicans.
Contrary now, which is fine, by the way, if that's what you say, it's politic as pol politics as it is.
You know, these people hide behind the notion that what they really want to do is help you.
They're not they're standing in the way every opportunity they get.
They're the ones that like you suffering.
I know that sounds brazen.
And I know it sounds you know a little harsh, but they do.
This folks, it isn't me saying this.
They've said it themselves over the years.
Back in the um, I guess early two thousands, when uh Dick Gephardt was still around.
He he was all excited when the stock market was plunging.
He says every ten point drop or every hundred point drop in a stock market.
We pick up another seat in the House.
They're looking happily at the misery that some Americans were experiencing.
So I I just she sits there calls it a hoax or she calls it a distraction.
Uh Barbara Boxers out there saying that contradicting her, saying we want to drill two, but that really is here here's Mitch McConnell.
He was on Fox and Friends today, and he got a uh he got a quick question.
How how long can they afford to sit and not approve of drilling and not reverse the ban, the Democrats, is what he said.
Well, we don't have time to play it now.
It's number fourteen, but we don't because it's gonna I was gonna squeeze this in, but it's gonna we're not gonna get there before the break.
So when we come back, I'll play Boxer, and then followed, you know, that follows Pelosi and McConnell answering these two because it's a pretty good answer.
Also, Joe Biden has insulted the troops.
These are the smartest people among us, right?
Joe Biden has insulted the troops, saying if McCain wants to know where the bad guys live, come back with me to Afghanistan.
We know where they reside, and it's not in Iraq.
Joe Biden.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
And we're back.
Some of the finest bumper music known to exist in the free or oppressed worlds.
But anybody excited about the Olympics.
I really I I keep I keep seeing these stories in the head that the place where they're gonna have some little body of water where they're gonna have well, it's not swimming, they do a pool for the Yeah, the sailing races had turned into pea soup or something.
The algae and so forth, and they get the they got the algae out of there.
The Chinese say that they're gonna mess with the weather for the opening ceremonies if it's if it's the weather's not good.
Uh they're putting all kinds of restrictions on banners and so forth.
I I am just I a lot of people would look at it as as a um great opportunity to work for an end network that would send you over there to cover this last I just the last place I'd want to go, the last to this kind of crowd to this kind of place, this is good uh the hotels are not at capacity.
Well, I wonder why.
You know, as my friend Don Ollmeyer said, until Al Qaeda gets a team, we're just at the Olympics just aren't gonna be what they were.
You know, back when the East German women were men and taking all kinds of steroids, had mustaches, and the Soviet hockey team was actually a bunch of army guys that were armed with pistols.
I mean, that those were the good old days of the Olympics.
This this I don't know, I just can't I can't get into it.
All right, here's Barbara Boxer, uh, ladies and gentlemen, last night on Hardbull with Chris Matthews, and he said to her, Senator Boxer, do we need to start drilling in places we haven't wanted to drill before?
I maintain that when you have two oil men in the White House for eight long years, and you see gas prices go up 300% to turn around and blame the Democrats in Congress just doesn't wash.
The oil companies have gotten everything they want.
It's time to say use it or lose it.
Of course there are places we can drill, but I want you to know something.
There are a lot of jobs that also come out of a beautiful pristine coast in certain areas of our country, in my own state, for example, in Washington State, in the off the shores of New Jersey, for example, and many other places, North Carolina, I could go on.
The fact is that is a $70 billion coastal economy, two million jobs.
So of course we want to drill.
Oh, of course you want to drill.
How c how how did I miss that?
Of course, Pelosi wants to drill, and two oil men in the White House for eight long years as he gas prices go up three.
We didn't see gas prices go up for six long years.
Senator Boxer, we saw gas prices skyrocket when your bud Pelosi took over the House of Representatives.
I mean, them's the facts, ma'am.
Here's Mitch McConnell.
It was on Fox and Friends this morning.
The question, Senator uh Nancy Pelosi was talking about the strategic petroleum reserve yesterday, releasing, I think 10% would barely affect the price of gas.
The approval rating that you mentioned with Congress about 18%.
So how long can they afford to sit and not approve drilling and not reverse that ban?
That's silly proposal to open up 10% of the SPRO, the strategic reserve.
That's about three and a half days worth of oil.
They also said they also said we ought to prohibit American exports of oil.
You know how much oil we export every year?
Uh it all goes to Puerto Rico, by the way, on American territory, and it's about a half a day's use of oil in the country.
I mean, this is absurd.
Nobody's gonna believe that any of these proposals they're talking about are real.
Okay, so why then?
McConnell's right.
No but why do they make them then?
Why does Pelosi say, get 10% of the strategic reserve?
And why does Pelosi say, well, we need to we need to stop exporting oil.
Is it because they're stupid?
No.
It's because they know or they think that most of their voters are stupid.
So they will say what they think most of their voters will believe.
So Pelosi, well, released from the strategic reserve.
Why?
No reason for the government to hoard that oil.
And she has visions in her head of stupid, idiotic Democrats and liberals out there cheering, go, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you throw in the, you know, eight years of two oilmen in the White House.
They're counting on the stupidity of their own voters.
Look, these are liberals, folks.
They look condescendingly and arrogantly at people.
So it's it's not that they're necessarily stupid, although the jury is still out on Pelosi.
Well, and Boxer, too.
But it's they know that their voters are stupid.
And they think more than just their voters are stupid.
Stop exporting oil from America.
What they what they realize is that their dolt voters will hear that and go, What?
We're exporting oil while we've got gas prices, and that'll make them even madder.
Because they know they're not going to follow up and listen to Mitch McConnell hours later with the truth.
So this is how they operate, and this is precise because they want you mad.
They want you upset.
They want you suffering.
They want you so ticked off that you can't wait to go into a poll in November in a voting booth in November and just literally scratch out every Republican name you see.
That's what their objective is.
Here's Mark and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Hello.
Hey Rush.
Hey.
Hey, I am so ticked off about these gas prices.
Let me get right to the point.
It's about time we use the military to take over the oil in the Middle East and put these little roads and oil bearings in their place and separate them from the oil they hold hostage over all of us.
Use the military, take over the oil fields, put one or two of them on the market for $45 a barrel, and watch the market collapse, and then the world will love us because we finally did something good for everybody on the planet.
Let me so let me follow uh my my hearing today is I've got a I've got a tentative hum that's making everything muffled here, and I'm uh I'm having to read the transcription of callers today.
Let me ask you you want the U.S. military to go in and basically do a U.S. military coup and take over the Saudi oil fields.
Oh, not just Saudi Arabia.
I'd like to hit a couple of people in Dubai who are running up the prices with their training.
So we're going to Dubai.
We go into Qatar, we go into Kuwait, we go in the United Arab Emirates, uh, we go into Abu Dhabi.
We do a big footstop all over them, and we operate them from their oil.
Take over all the oil wells like Saddam Hussein was gonna do.
And force it onto the market at $45 a barrel and put these people in the poor house.
I'm sick and tired of my money going over there to make some prick over there who hates me rich and let them go flying around the world in his jet.
You know where the bleep button is uh better hit it.
We only got 40 seconds of the bleep button, you better hit the bleep button.
Then we hit the bleep button.
Good.
Okay, so we're back live now.
All right.
Nasty, nasty choice of words to describe our friends the Saudi's, Mark.
A very, very uh very, very nasty word.
Uh thought, thought a little bit here about letting it go, but uh, you know, my decorum and my cultural instincts said we had to believe that I'm sorry.
He hung up.
That's just too bad.
All right, so the idea is on the table.
Snerdley, what what what is it?
What is your aim today with your selection of uh of callers?
Oh, you think this is a good idea.
You think the guy's got to get that why you you thought it was a good idea.
That's right, okay.
You want to hear my reaction to this.
You that's you put this guy up because you wow, it'll be fun to hear Rush react to this.
Some of the you gotta understand here, most of the left thinks that we're already doing this.
Most of the left thinks that we already are in the Middle East, and that Bush and Cheney are actually the ones in charge of the oil fields.
They already think this.
And then that's why the prices are so high.
Okay, U.S. military, basically to the sandbox.
We go in with whatever measure of forces necessary, short of anything that would destroy the oil fields, the production equipment in the wells.
We kick all of the Saudis out.
We say, you guys have bled us dry for the last time.
You guys are going to find out what it's like to live on $45 a barrel oil.
And then we go out and do this, and the rest of the world, even if we're able to pull this off.
Why stop?
Why not go and do this in Iran, too?
And let's just take care of all these stones with one footstep, one footprint.
Go on and do the same thing to Iran, and then the rest of the world will love us.
There's just one problem with this.
Maybe two.
And it's called Russia and China.
We'll be back after this.
I don't think they'll sit idly by and clap folks while we bring the price.
Joe Biden did say it.
Ladies and gentlemen, if John McCain wants to know where the bad guys live, come back with me to Afghanistan.
We know where they reside, and it's not in Iraq.
Now there is a lot of outrage over this uh comment.
And a lot of people, I got some emails from people asking this what's so bad about it, Russia.
He's just talking about bin Laden's in Afghanistan.
He's not in Iraq.
What's wrong with it is this.
And by the way, I appreciate people being honest enough to send me the question, not understanding why this is so bad.
We have been in Iraq fighting the agents and emissaries of bin Laden and Zawahiri, and they are bad guys.
They have beheaded reporters, they have beheaded troops, they have beheaded contractors.
They are pure evil.
The U.S. military has been facing pure seventh century evil in Iraq.
And a number of our troops have paid with their lives.
A lot have been severely wounded.
And Senator Biden here has just whisked that away.
He's just made it sound like that was irrelevant.
This is a profound insult once again from a prominent Democrat to members of the United States military.
He thinks he's insulting McCain when he in fact has insulted the United States military, which is typical of a Democrat today.
This is their perspective, their level of understanding on what on what's happening is missing in action.
All the while they think of themselves as the smartest people in the world.
Speaking of McCain, the uh the drive-by is in the Democrats are all over McCain and trying to attack him here on his hero status and on the qualifications that his service in the U.S. armed forces provide him to serve as president.
Here's McCain yesterday in Albuquerque, New Mexico at a town hall event.
Cut four.
We're up to back to cut four.
I know how to win wars.
I know how to win wars.
If I'm elected president, I'll turn around the war in Afghanistan, just as we have turned around the war in Iraq with a comprehensive strategy for victory.
I know how to do that.
All right, so there's McCain.
And the sum the sum total of his time was I know.
I know how to win wars.
I done it.
I've been there, I done it.
So on MSNBC's hardball last night, Chris Matthews talking with the fourth or fifth chief executive of Air America.
Mark Green, who said this about McCain.
What war did McCain win?
And he spent Vietnam, his his biggest war, of course, in a POW camp, as Wesley Clark struggled to say accurately, but in politically, um Eisenhower ran a war, McCain did not.
The comparison is so silly.
So here these guys are out attacking McCain.
what war did McCain win?
He spent Vietnam his biggest war in a POW camp.
Wesley Clark struggled to say accurately.
Eisenhower ran a war.
McCain did not.
These guys.
What this means is they know their candidate is vacuous.
They know their candidate has literally no credentials whatsoever.
Obama has no credentials on national security.
He has flip-flopping all over the place on Iraq.
He has removed his original statement on the surge being a failure that won't work.
He's removed it from his website.
The only chance these people have is to go out and try to tar in Feather McCain's uh big qualification here and to say that it doesn't count for anything.
It doesn't mean so what?
Five years in a prisoner war camp.
In fact, not it doesn't not count for anything.
It means he couldn't possibly know how to win a war.
He ended up being taken prisoner.
Well, the undertone of this is that McCain is incompetent because he was so stupid to be shot down.
What war did he win?
I am not sure the people in the McCain campaign understand just how vicious this is going to end up being.
Maybe they do.
On American Morning on CNN today, John Roberts was talking once again to Senator Biden.
He said, How does Senator Obama instill confidence in the American people that he can do those things as well as McCain, commander-in-chief things?
You have a brilliant, relatively young man who is the nominee of the Democratic Party, who's leading John McCain on every area except the one where experience just intuitively suggests people think if you're experienced you must know more.
But 20 years of experience that has not been very solid in terms of uh being projecting what was going to happen is doesn't make you a better commander-in-chief.
We don't need, as a commander-in-chief, a war hero.
John's a war hero.
We need someone with some wisdom.
Joe Biden saying this about Barack Obama who has exhibited none.
Wisdom comes with age and experience, and Obama hasn't lived long enough to have any of either.
Let's go back.
Let's listen to uh Biden, just to remind you, this is Biden, January 30th, 2007, in an interview with the observer.
I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean, nice looking guy.
There's Biden drawing a line between Obama and the Justice Brothers.
Obama was clean.
Uh if if if if Obama or rather, if if Biden feels this way about McCain's lack of qualifications, why didn't he end up saying this about John Kerry?
Who served in Vietnam?
The haughty John Kerry served in Vietnam.
We don't need a war hero.
War hero doesn't mean anything.
We need somebody with wisdom.
War hero stuff.
Well, why it was just it was just four years ago that the Democrats thought they were going to coast to victory because they finally found somebody in their party who they thought could be passed off as a war hero.
But they couldn't pass Kerry off as a war hero because he was not one.
But they thought they were going to be able to get away with it.
Now all of a sudden, war hero doesn't matter.
Wisdom matters.
And of course, Obama has demonstrated wisdom how.
Quick time out.
We'll be back right after this.
Stay with us.
I wonder, I wonder if the liberals would think that McCain is qualified to be president if he had been a community organizer at the Hanoway Hilton.
If he'd been a community organizer to Hanoway Hilton, maybe maybe the Libs would see him as qualified there, maybe.
By the way, Joe Biden angered Joe Lieberman.
Joe Lieberman said this this morning on Fox and Friends.
Joe Biden should retract that comment out of respect for died.
The troops have died there fighting the bad guys.
Hey, Osama bin Laden said that Iraq is the central battlefront in the war against terror.
It's because of the bravery of our troops under General Petrez, who knew the bad guys were in Iraq, that we've got Al Qaeda on the run and and we're about to score a great victory.
Yeah, and I make I'm look at Obama goes out and makes his speech yesterday on Iraq and how we're going to pull out of there and not going to make this mistake again.
And I really think he doesn't know we're doing well because the drive-bys are not reporting it.
If the drive-by is not reporting we're doing well, he doesn't know it.
By the way, Senator Lieberman is toast.
If the Democrats win this election, they're going to throw him out of the party as fast as they can.
