It isn't going to be long before the left, you know, as all this Georgia-Russia thing pops up.
By the way, the latest on that is that the French and the Russians are working on ceasefire terms right now.
Nicholas Sarkozy actually went over there trying to do something about it while Obama's playing golf in Hawaii.
At any rate, it ain't going to be long before the left says, because all this talk is going to come.
Well, look, we've got to protect oil pipelines.
We've got to protect our ally, Georgia.
The left is going to say Georgia has more of a claim, or Russia has more of a claim to Georgia than we do.
And besides, how can we accuse any nation of invading another sovereign nation after what we did to Iraq?
That is what they're going to say.
They're going to say, we deserve this.
We showed the world we were willing to invade a sovereign country.
So how can we say that the Russians shouldn't do it?
I'm surprised the left hasn't come up with it yet, but in time they will.
Greetings and welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, British energy giant BP, British Petroleum, said today it has closed two more oil and gas pipelines in Georgia because of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
We have closed two other pipelines in Georgia, the Baku Supsa and the South Caucasus pipeline, which is a gas pipeline, said the BP spokesman to the French news agency.
The key BTC pipeline, which British Petroleum also operates, was shut down last week after a blast occurred in a pump at a section in eastern Turkey.
Let me check the oil price right now.
Crude oil chart.
Yeah, we're still $113.60.
It is not moving.
Dow Jones industrial average down a little bit today, but the drive-by's had a story.
Speculators and commodity traders are watching the action in Georgia, wondering whether or not they should.
Well, if the question arises, ladies and gentlemen, if the Russians attack somebody else, will the prices go down even more?
I think we need to kind of cool our jets on this.
I mean, once the news of shutting down the pipeline, and this is a temporary thing, by the way, this is not about drilling.
This is not about more supply.
This is about getting supply to where it needs to be, which is going to result in some contrived shortages in places this stuff's supposed to go, which should result in a temporary price increase in these places where the supply is going to be low.
But I'm telling you, the Russians are showing everybody what cards they have and what damage they can do.
They really are.
And this has been long coming.
This is not something that happened on the spur of the moment.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, now that Obama has told the Russians to stop their advance in Georgia, and that Governor Tim Kaine of Virginia says that the Russians have indeed stopped their advance because Obama asked them to, even though they haven't stopped their advance yet, the next thing that Obama needs to do is to tell the Russians to get out of the North Pole.
You know, the Russians have claimed the North Pole because there's a bunch of oil and gas up there.
The Russians have just said it's ours.
But those resources don't belong to this.
It's time for Obama to tell the Russians to get out of the North Pole now, since he has all these mystical powers with his words.
At any rate, the shutting down of the pipeline, two pipelines in Georgia by British petroleum, once again, is another glaring indicator of how vulnerable we are if we do not take steps to produce and provide our own energy resources.
And again, there's nothing out there that's going to replace oil.
Now, I mentioned at the top of the program, there's a lot of stuff on the table today.
One of the things is the Olympics.
And in my opening monologue, I focused primarily on the opening ceremony, which was dazzling.
There's no question about it.
It was amazing.
It was visually unparalleled.
Nothing like it.
But tell you what I saw.
In addition to all that, I saw sameness.
I saw communism on display.
I saw 15,000 human robots under orders who had been trained for years to act in synchronicity.
And they pulled it off.
But they were interchangeable parts.
We saw their faces.
Some of them, they all looked the same.
We saw their actions all look the same.
And you know what the message was?
The message was, imagine if these 15,000 trained human robots had guns and were following military orders.
I mean, there was a lot hidden there.
And I mentioned this to some people over the weekend.
Boy, you're just so cynical.
You just so jaundiced.
No, I'm not cynical or jaundiced.
I know communists.
I know communists like I know liberals.
And liberals like every glorious square inch of my naked body, my friends.
And I did, that's the first thing I saw was sameness.
After the dazzling visuals, I saw faceless, nameless sameness.
And then we learn of all the fakery.
And of course, then we learn that the Chikom leaders sent out a lip-syncer, the little girl that sang the hymn to the motherland.
I'll bet you when Obama's wobb that they did put his hand over his heart then when the Chi-Com little girl sang hymn to the motherland.
Anyway, the girl that actually sang the song was not allowed to go out there on camera because Chi-Com leaders determined her buck teeth made her ugly.
So they found a pigtail little girl who was pretty, and she went out there and lip-synced it.
And they finally admitted this, just like they admitted some of the graphics in a big fireworks display were faked and inserted in the coverage graphically with computers.
Now, which is funny, because have you ever seen a Chi-Com leader that you think should be on TV?
They all look like the back end of a goat.
And for these people to sit there and start talking about how ugly this little girl was with buck teeth, it just goes to show you who these people really are.
But there are other things that I've noticed about, of course, the competition.
The American team is fabulous.
Didn't take long for the drive-bys to start speculating about doping with our swim team.
How about Jason Lizak overcoming the French guy?
That was amazing.
It's unbelievable.
Jason Lizak overcoming the French guy, Bernard, whatever.
And the French are out there talking smack before this all happened.
Now there are doubters questioning whether or not these new swimsuits made by Speedo are actually fair because they're not sewn.
They are welded.
It takes a half hour to put those things on.
Do you know that?
It takes a half hour to squeeze into those swimsuits.
And one of the theories is they add buoyancy.
They help the swimmers float.
Now, swimmers, professional swimmers, amateur swimmers, Olympic swimmers like these, have no body fat.
Zilch, zero nada.
And if you have no body fat, you sink.
I mean, that's one of the, you know, fat people happen to be a little bit more buoyant in the water.
Fat floats.
By the way, speaking of that, there's a great story out about how half the people who are obese have really great heart health.
I've told you people all this conventional wisdom about all this health stuff and exercise.
I've told you, don't buy any.
But here's what I think.
And there's a guy, Big Lib, Andy Borowitz is a humorist.
He used to appear on CNN's morning show when it had even fewer viewers than the one now has.
But he wrote a piece.
He said they finally found an Olympic athlete who did not have a compelling, heartbreaking, personal story of destruction to tell.
And they kicked him out of the Olympics because he was unqualified because he did not have one of these heartbreaking tales of surviving the chainsaws in his old mother country.
And it got me to think, I'm watching all this, and it's absolutely right.
Every Olympics, we get, it seems like every Olympic athlete just barely, barely made it through some amazing, impossible difficulty.
Every one of them.
They were either laughed at and made fun of by their friends, or else their mother disowned them, or what have you.
And I think what we see in Olympic coverage is the ultimate illustration of the chickification of news.
The Olympics, ladies and gentlemen, I believe, are tailored.
I think the Olympics are tailored for a female audience.
Now, how does the female audience for the Olympics differ from female audiences to other sports?
Well, let me ask you, just how big is the female audience for football?
I mean, it's there, but it's nothing like the female audience for the Olympics.
Oh, you know something else?
I'm going to expand on this when we come back.
I'll tell you something else.
The Parade of Nations.
We had our own little dose of communist-style sameness.
Did you see the U.S. team come out there?
Every damn one of them dressed alike in unisex outfits designed by Ralph Lorraine.
The ugliest white hats I have ever seen.
White slacks, blue blazers, and whatever else.
They might have looked European.
Of course, now they look Palm Beach.
I mean, that's official Palm Beach yacht uniform, including the stupid hat.
But they could have at least put skirts on the women.
They could have put dresses on the women.
It could have done something.
Differentiate them.
Could have made them not wear the hats so we could see their hair.
What have I done?
I'm standing up for differences in the sexes when it comes to fashion.
What is this unisex business?
But rush, but rush, it's a team.
It's a team.
Yeah, but those were not uniforms.
Anyway, I got to go.
We'll be back after this with more.
Stay with us.
I always love this song, Rose Royce.
We're back, Rush Limbaugh and the cutting edge, talent on loan from God.
This is just great.
We already have learned today that George Clooney is an official, unofficial advisor to Obama.
Clooney is actually advising Obama on the Middle East, and he's advising him on body language and the way to appear in public.
And now we learn from a blog at the Los Angeles Times that George Clooney is going to make a movie.
He has bought the movie rights to tell the story of Osama bin Laden's driver.
This is the guy convicted by the military court for five and a half years, which is, by the way, a sleaze sentence.
He's only going to serve six months because he's been in there five months already, or five years.
These people in Hollywood, they have made all of these anti-Iraq, anti-U.S. movies, and they bomb.
They bomb big time.
And look at all the Andy Obama books, number one, New York Times bestseller list, a movie on Obama or Osama bin Laden's driver.
We're going to make a hero out of Osama bin Laden's driver.
Or rather, Hollywood is.
Now, back to this Olympic business.
The Olympics, unlike any other sport, draws legions of females to watch it.
Dawn, stop laughing in there because this is factual.
I'm not trying to be funny.
There's no sexual sexist comment here.
It's just, it's a fact.
You know, women don't watch baseball as much as they watch the Olympics.
They don't watch football, basketball.
They get out of the house.
I mean, there's exceptions.
There's some women that like football, but it's not like women sitting down watching the Olympics.
Now, why is this?
There's a reason, folks.
And it is left to me to explain it to you.
With traditional sports in this country, you know, you get men who follow teams.
They follow statistics from the time the player was born to 14 minutes ago.
They follow trades.
They follow free agency.
All of these things.
They get caught up in all that.
So women couldn't care less about any of that.
Just who won and when's it going to be over so we can go to dinner?
Men are invested in these sports because men, most men would really rather love to be able to do that than their daily humdrum jobs.
But women couldn't be bothered with these kind of mundane things.
Free agency trades, fantasy football and baseball leagues and all this.
They couldn't be bothered with it.
But you get the Olympics every two years, Summer Olympics every four years.
You don't need a scorecard.
It's real simple.
Who won and who lost?
You don't even really need to keep track of the medal count because it's not about that.
Other than the patriotic aspect of it.
It's very emotional.
It's very patriotic and it all makes sense.
And while you're watching, and this is the best part, while women are watching the Olympics, you get all these literally heart-wrenching stories about the competitors.
How they almost died, but they're now on the swim team.
How their baby almost died, but was saved because the mother could be on the gymnastic team from Germany.
How they were ridiculed in grade school.
How they had attention deficit disorder, but found a cure in the swimming pool.
And the stories are legion, and they go on and on and on.
You know, you'll have an Eastern European athlete, you know, whose goat farm was run over by some mad perpetrator, and the family was destitute and poor for years and years and years.
And finally, finally, the javelin throw brought this man and his family out of destitution.
And we get long dissertations on how important the javelin is and what all it might mean.
And of course, everybody in these stories is a victim overcoming some form of oppression, but never communist oppression, and never overcoming a government that has tried to keep them down.
It is so chick-ified.
It just made.
In fact, women cry more than they cheer watching the Olympics.
Now, there are exceptions.
There's some women who actually really get into athletics and sport and they cheer the victory.
But you sit there and you cry.
Women cry more than they cheer over this stuff.
You know, they're really, since the Russians, well, you know, the Russians, there's no Soviet Union, really no bad guys anymore.
So we men don't care as much.
In fact, one of the things that was so great for all the men about the swim team beating the French was the French were talking smack.
The women loved it because look how muscular those swimmers look when they came out of the pool in those tight-fitting little swimsuits and the courageous heroism of it all.
And they're cheering for the country and patriotism.
And the men are saying, screw you, French.
Screw you, frogs.
Because they were talking smack.
And let's face it, you know, it's just hard to muster any venom against the Chinese.
I mean, they're just little people running around out there.
And the ones that we've seen on TV are all the same, good-looking.
I mean, assembly line human beings.
Mass-produced by the Chi-Coms.
At any rate, I think it's interesting.
The Olympics has done a very good marketing show.
So the networks here in attracting female.
If they didn't get women watching these games, the audiences wouldn't be half of what they are, obviously.
Let's go to the phones very quickly because people have been patiently waiting.
We'll go to La Habra, California.
Jacob, thanks for waiting.
I'm really glad that you were patient, sir.
Hello.
Good morning, Rush.
Hi.
Thank you for taking my call.
You bet.
I just want you to know I found you about a week before you went for full three hours on 640 KFI.
In Los Angeles, yes.
Yes.
Russian, Rush, I am a Russian Jew.
I came to the United States almost 30 years ago.
And never in my lifetime I thought that from all the people, I will call you to defend Russians this time.
Mikhail Sakashvili Rush is a sack of excrement.
No, wait, Let's identify here.
We're talking about the president of Georgia.
You have just called the president of Georgia a bag of excrement.
Exactly, sir.
And don't forget, he is from the same place that came Ioosif Visserioonevich Stalin.
I don't have to tell you who this guy is.
But he's running a democratic country who's elected by citizens.
Rush, just to remind you, and you can check this with Fox News, what he did to the independent television station in Dbilisi, the capital of Georgia.
Okay?
Jacob, can you hang on?
You have proven a point that I brilliantly made in the first hour.
Okay.
Can you hang on to the brake so I can watch it?
All right.
You sound just like the guy from Spectre in the James Bond movies.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Okay, we are back.
Rush Limbaugh and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
And we rejoin Jacob from La Habra, California.
He is a Russian Jew who has lived in the United States for 30 years.
And you, Jacob, are you almost sound as though you have a little national pride.
No, sir.
No, sir.
This is going to be your biggest mistake if you will make this conclusion.
Well, my conclusion is, actually, Victor Davis Hansen said this or wrote this before I had a chance to say it, but I was going to say it anyway.
Well, the Russians have gone into Georgia and South Ossetia.
You don't have Russian citizens protesting in the streets saying no blood for oil or condemning their government like you would have here.
You've got Russian citizens who are proud that the Russian bear is reclaiming and is re-establishing itself as a world power.
There's probably a lot of Russian pride.
So I thought that might be.
No, What you see right now is what's left from the Soviet Union.
What I think is the biggest mistake on our part, and I don't hear anybody even mentioning this.
Then say it.
In 1990, Russia was giving out truckloads of Russian passports in South Syria.
They did, nobody said even a word about this.
And what they are claiming right now, what they are claiming right now, is that they are defending their citizens there.
That's what's going on.
And as far as I know, he did start it.
Saakashvili did start it.
That's the problem.
That's just my opinion.
Jacob, you're sounding like Obama.
You're sounding like every Democrat.
You're sounding like Gorbachev.
You're making it sound like it's the Georgians' fault that somehow Shashvili was insulting or harming Russian citizens inside Georgia and Obama.
You couldn't insult me more.
Well, but that's what they're all going to say by the end of this rush.
We have to take in consideration who we are dealing with.
And Russia, as you know, a stupid friend is worse than an enemy.
And this guy is taking away from the corporate will get us into a lot of trouble.
Jacob, aside from Saakashvili, who is no different than a bag of excrement, according to you.
Yes, sir.
What else?
What do you got against the Georgian people?
Nothing.
Well, then.
So you want Russia to come in and rip Georgia to shreds just to get rid of the excrement?
No.
In a bag.
No, no.
But what I want is for us to be careful how we deal with the situation and how we deal with this president.
I mean, the Georgian president.
That's all.
Well, we're being careful.
The French are over there taking care of this, if you can believe it.
Yeah, from all the people, French.
Yeah.
And as I said, Rush, the biggest insult for me is to cite me with Obama.
Well, I'm sorry, Jacob.
I didn't mean to insult you.
But when you're going to say things that the left is going to say about this, when you're saying things that Putin is saying, Putin is saying, hey, Georgia started it.
That's what you're saying.
You're saying that Shkashvili is oppressing Russian citizens, and Putin had no choice.
Well, I tell you, Obama's establishing a moral equivalency here by asking both sides to throw down their arms as though they both started this sort of thing.
So, you know, I don't mean to insult you, but I mean, Gorbachev's saying the same thing you said, that this was started by the Georgians.
And you think it was because of this president that you don't like.
So I'm sorry to insult you, but I'm just trying to tell you who your theory sounds like.
I'm glad you called.
I appreciate it.
Here is Paul in Rockland County in New York.
Paul, thank you for calling.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, good afternoon, Rush.
Hi.
You know, there's a highway that goes from the brand-spanking new airport just out of Tbilisi, beautiful four-lane highway that goes into town.
You know what that highway is called?
Tell me.
George Bush Boulevard.
And as you round the corner into Tbilisi, there's a giant poster of our president waving his hand, walking, actually welcoming people away from the city.
That airport, this brand-spanking new airport that the Russians bombed first before they even started attacking any part of Ossetia, you paid for that.
I paid for that.
We paid for the highway.
Okay, so what does that mean?
It deserves to be blown up.
So what I'm saying is this is not a referendum on what Obama could do wrong.
This is betrayal of the utter weakness of the policies of the Bush-McCain.
Yeah, you can immediately puff your lips that you've been talking for an hour.
No, no.
You've been talking for an hour about Obama.
This has absolutely, you know, Rush.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Obama.
And yet, have you mentioned once Bush?
Have you mentioned?
No, you haven't.
Yes, I have.
No, you did.
Okay.
If you did, it was a micron of information as compared to going on and on for an hour.
Bush hasn't said anything stupid about this.
McCain hasn't said anything stupid about it.
Obama did.
It's not about saying anything, Rush.
It's about what mistakes we made in the first place.
Okay.
The show has all of a sudden, folks, turned into Beat Up America Day.
So what mistakes did we make?
And by the way, which statue of Bush?
Sorry.
41 or 43.
Don't pull the Patriot card on me, pal.
I'm not pulling any card on you.
I'm just asking you questions.
You're telling me I'm beating up on America.
You're the one who's beating up on America.
I am not beating up.
I never beat up on America.
I love America.
Well, I love America more than you do.
Would you tell me what relevance does the fact that we got a highway named George Bush Highway and a statue of Bush?
Which Bush?
41 or 43, by the way?
The W. W.
We got a statue of W at the Tbilisi Airport.
No, no, no, no.
The highway is leaving.
Oh, yes, yes.
And, of course, this justifies the Russians blowing it up?
No, of course not.
You didn't let me finish.
You let me finish.
My point is, is our weakness allowed the Russians to get in there, okay?
This has nothing to do with allowing this or allowing that.
Our current administration did not see this coming.
And we are all over that country.
I've been there, and I'll confess it's anecdotal observation, but there are more Americans there than you can imagine.
I saw U.S. military guys flying around on commercial flights internally.
Okay, we're all over there.
Again, it's anecdotal.
I don't, it's just from my own observation.
So clearly, we got stuff going on there.
This, to me, I see this attack from Russia as a slap in the face to you and me and the weakness of our current administration and not either not seeing this coming or they did see it coming and they allowed it to happen.
So this has nothing to do with it.
What does this have to do with Obama planning off and what do you mean we allowed it to happen?
Well, look, Rush, you and I both know.
Don't try that rhetorical device on me.
Do not tell me that I know what you know because it may not be the case that I even agree with what you think you know.
Okay, fair enough.
But you use rhetoric all morning long, so I'm allowed to make it.
I use now not rhetoric.
We communicate here with language and thoughts.
We make a lot of sense on this program.
You use rhetoric all morning.
I'm allowed one rhetorical slip.
I believe, how's that?
That there are some things that we do that sort of go under the radar.
I don't think you would argue with that.
There's that rhetorical device again.
Do not put words in my mouth, please.
Okay.
I sincerely apologize.
It's a trick that you liberals have.
What I'm saying is, clearly, there is American activity going on in Georgia that either the Russians knew about or didn't know about.
Doesn't matter.
It's called NATO.
Well, they're not a member of NATO, pal.
No, but they go back and forth.
The Russians do not want them to be in NATO, is the point.
And we're going back and forth with the possibility of them being in NATO.
Well, I know.
This is far more than that.
No, Paul, this is far more than the Russians striking out at us.
This is the Russians showing the world something.
This is the Russians saying we're back.
They have been flying these bear bomber sorties all over the world for a long time.
This shouldn't have been a surprise to anybody.
But this is a weakness on our behalf.
And where did that weakness come from?
It didn't come from Obama.
Wait a minute.
Wait, wait a minute.
How can we talk in the world?
Can this be a weakness on our part when I didn't think we're supposed to use our military to stop people doing anything in the first place?
So what the hell weakness are you describing?
I'm talking about, and there's your rhetoric.
I'm talking about Obama.
You going on and on about Obama playing golf in Hawaii and making some sort of claim that this whole world is going to fall apart because of Obama.
This has absolutely nothing to do.
If you talk for an hour and a half about Barack Obama, I'll tell you what this has to do with.
It has to do with the fact that we have three people speaking for the country right now.
We're in the midst of a presidential race with a lame duck president.
We got Obama speaking from Hawaii while playing golf.
We got the governor of Virginia saying Obama's words turned the Russians back when the Russians haven't turned back yet.
That, sir, is just funny.
I'm sorry, rhetoric or otherwise, I am going to talk about it.
I'm going to have a lot of fun with it.
McCain and Bush have been somewhat tough, but I read an AP story earlier today the United States can't do anything about.
Why can't we do anything about it?
Well, I thought words were supposed to be enough to stop.
I thought we were supposed to have diplomacy.
Bush has made Putin a blood brother, practically.
We've tried all kinds of diplomacy.
I mean, this is, but a weakness on the United States' part?
We're not even supposed to be the world policeman.
We're supposed to know when the Russians are going to attack an ally and get an air and stop it.
What do you think our diplomacy has been aimed at?
We've been talking to Bush, Putin, trying to make him one of us, feeding him barbecue and so forth, all these years.
Bush said he looked into his eyes and saw his soul.
We've been practicing everything the left says to do, diplomacy and words.
And look what it got us.
I got to go.
Quick break.
Thanks for the call out there.
Paul, we'll be back after this.
See, the liberals have to blame this Russian attack on Georgia on Bush and then by Association McCain.
Otherwise, Obama has no chance.
And I don't think he has much of a chance.
And I think the dirty little secret is that McCain could win this in a landslide.
I actually do.
I think there's so much huff and puffery here about Obama, and the bloom has long ago gone off that rose.
It happened during the Democrat primaries.
And it's like Thomas Sowell has a great column.
He once attended a course taught by John Kenneth Galbraith, the noted liberal economist.
He came in and did his first lecture to the class, and it was so good, they all stood up and applauded.
But every other lecture was just more and more generalities on the first lecture.
And as the course went on, the class kept dwindling in size.
And finally, people stopped showing up because there was no substance.
And that's exactly what's happened to Obama.
His first speech, his first series of appearances.
You could revive the old Fritz Mondiel question of Gary Hartpence.
Where's the beef?
And it's happening, folks.
I'm telling you, it's happening.
There are all kinds of doubts throughout the Democrat Party about this guy.
His brain is extremely 140 days in the set for crying out loud.
He's a neighborhood activist.
He's a street activist that they have nominated.
By the way, ladies and gentlemen, the Georgian Security Council today says that it has filed a lawsuit in the International Court of Justice for alleged ethnic cleansing against Russia.
Well, there you go.
Right alongside the House Democrats suit of OPEC for selling us oil in the first place.
Man, oh man, the left's getting exactly what they want here.
Take every one of these things to court.
Anyway, who's next?
This is Maureen and Fresno.
Thanks for calling, Maureen.
You're great to wait.
Nice to have you here.
Quantum Dittos.
Thank you.
I am calling about, well, I so missed you yesterday.
I looked forward the whole weekend to hearing you yesterday because I wanted to get your take on the ABC Friday Nightline interview with John Edwards.
I am an attorney, and when I listened to him, he just sounded like he was the quintessential trial lawyer.
Give me a closing argument.
Right.
Your closing argument.
He was parsing things.
He was saying things like, well, actually, when I had the affair, Elizabeth was in remission.
Not that that counts, and I was a poor boy, and I got carried away.
So he kept very calm and very, you know, like I said, parsing everything that he said until the end.
And the end of the question, which I thought was a very good question by the interviewer, and he said, well, now, so I guess this is the end of your career.
Because, I mean, here the guy has not only cheated on his wife with cancer, but he lied about it.
He tried, you know, to stay under the rest of the world.
You don't think she knew.
Well, he claimed she knew back in 06.
Yeah, there's nothing.
I'll hold her a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
The line that he uttered, I agree with you about his career.
I know where you're going to go with that because his arrogance thinks he can survive this and still marry this woman when his wife dies.
But I'll tell you that when he said 99% of the truth won't survive anymore, that just, that told me everything I have always suspected about this guy.
There is nothing genuine about John Edwards.
He is a walking, talking political calculation.
And his anger came out.
He didn't even say, well, hopefully I can concentrate on my family now and try to rehabilitate myself.
He didn't say any of that.
He just said, it's not the end.
And he was really angry.
Can I say one other thing?
Yes, ma'am.
And that is, I wish McCain would get up off his stuff and select a conservative running mate, whoever he wants, as long as they're a bit conservative, so that we could start getting excited.
Well, you know, the names that we're hearing at the top of the list are Joe Lieberman and Tim Palenti from Minnesota who's not really a conservative.
No.
Anyway, I've got a theory about Edwards.
What's that?
And by the way, we've got some audio coming up.
I'm going to go back and revisit this press conference of his with his wife where they announced that she had cancer and the drive-by said he was going to pull out.
Remember, they got a bad leak on that.
People are, this is, look, it's human nature.
I'm sorry to have to bring this up, but people are there.
They're stunned that of all the women he could have had an affair with, he chose this one.
Right?
Now, I've got a theory to explain it.
Edwards loves the camera.
He preens for the camera with his hair and so forth.
He's the Brett girl, and he hired this gal to run the camera that was taking videographies of his campaign.
And I think he probably said they met in the bar and that's where it all happened.
But I think it got intense because he's constantly looking at the camera so damn much.
And who was on the other side of the camera but this babe?
And then making jokes about he was giving a speech on morality.
And he said, see, but if he would have just stuck with the camera.
Yeah.
Cameras don't get pregnant.
Hey, look, folks, don't get too precise on me here.
I know the timeline is all off on my joke about Edwards should have stuck with the camera because cameras don't get pregnant, but it was too good a line and too good a story to pass up.
Screw the timeline.
It was still funny, and that's what counts.
And Edwards is still a doofus and always has been a fraud, and that hasn't changed.
