Time Text
And greetings to you once again, music lovers, thrill seekers, and conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
This is the award-winning thrill packed, ever exciting, increasingly popular and dominating Rush Limbaugh program here on the EIV network.
Coming to you from the distinguished and prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you with us.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
Barack Obama, just in, ladies and gentlemen, Barack Obama has announced a plan that will end the Russian aggression in Georgia, this time for certain.
Obama has announced from Hawaii that he is directing today that the American media will immediately begin publishing the death counts of Russian soldiers.
So as to poison the world's attitude toward war in general.
Just as the drive-by media in this country ran a daily body count of American deaths in Iraq, Obama has now instructed his allies in the drive-by media to immediately start a body count of dead Russian soldiers.
His thinking is that this pressure will bring a quick end to the fighting if it hasn't already ceased as he uh directed it to be ceased yesterday.
So Obama has uh has weighed in.
And again, in case in case you're just joining us, ladies and gentlemen, we have discovered not only that the Russians are lying, so are the Chicoms.
The Chicoms, this is news to a lot of people uh that the great motherland nations like Russia and and communist China are uh are telling lies that the Chicons are lying about about their gymnasts uh and their ages, and they're lying about who sings the anthem at the opening ceremony, the hymn of the motherland, and the Russians, the Russians are lying about who started this whole mess in uh in Georgia and South Ossetia.
And of course, the question that we all have to ask ourselves is, as instructed by the acting president Barack Obama, the Lord Messiah, is what did we do to cause this?
How is the United States to blame?
You know, the United States is less than perfect.
Uh, this country is not what it once was, as Obama is telling his seven-year-old audiences in town hall meetings.
Uh, this country has made a lot of mistakes, so we have to make up for what are we doing?
We are destabilizing the world.
We are not the solution in the world, we're the world's problem.
Uh, we have not lived up to our ideals, and as such, the Chicoms and the Russians are lying.
So we must begin a deep introspection, uh, ladies, all of us, uh, ladies and gentlemen, to determine exactly what we have done here to bring about this never before heard of phenomenon, communist nations lying.
It's another sign that the world's going to hell in a handbasket because of us.
Now, according to Obama, additionally, as he said recently, last week, maybe the week before, and certainly in weeks prior, he said something in addition to what I'm going to mention here.
He said, Uh, ladies and gentlemen, that we are three percent of the world's population, but that we use twenty-five percent of the world's resources.
Now, I first heard this uh articulated by the uh certifiably nut case, Paul Ehrlich, in his book The Population Bomb, back in the 70s, I think it was, became a left-wing environmentalist wacko Bible.
Nothing in it was ever proved correct, but they still stand by it.
Uh, three percent of the world's population, 25% of the world's resources, period.
Never talk about what we do, and I don't accept the numbers, by the way, but for the for the sake of the discussion, we'll accept the numbers.
I think it's all BS like the numbers of homeless were supposedly three million when it never was uh that high.
So let's just accept it for the sake of this discussion.
Well, what do we do with the 25% of the world's resources?
Are we not the most successful, the most giving, the most uh productive nation in the history of humanity?
What do we do with it?
We feed the world, we clothe the world, we uh rescue the world.
What do we do with it all?
The impression is that we're stealing it.
And Obama also, some weeks ago, said that because people around the world notice about us, that the day's gonna come, we're not we're not gonna be able to eat what we want.
Remember when he said that?
We're not gonna be able to eat what we want, and we're not gonna be able to drive what we want, and we're not gonna be able to keep our thermostats where we want, because that's not right.
The rest of the world isn't gonna put up with it.
That's not how you that's not how you get change and future and hope and and respect and all that.
Well, in that regard, ladies and gentlemen, I must call to your attention.
The dark side of Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps.
To you, Michael Phelps, while looking like an alien, nevertheless has set the record for the most gold medals in the Olympics.
And he is looked upon here as a great inspiration, a source of great American pride.
The world is dazzled by this man.
But that's not the Michael Phelps that truly exists.
Michael Phelps is the epitome, ladies and gentlemen, of the ugly American.
I found out today what he eats on a daily basis.
I know he swims five hours a day, needs a lot of energy, big producers, and he's produced a lot of metals, a lot of records, big producers do need a lot of energy.
But according to Obama, and many on the left, Michael Phelps is just a glutton who cares not for the rest of the world.
Twelve thousand calories a day, Michael Phelps eats.
Can I describe a typical day's diet for Michael Phelps?
His breakfast starts with three fried egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and mayonnaise.
He follows that up still at breakfast with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelette, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar, and three chocolate chip pancakes.
At lunch, this glutton who cares not for how much of the world's resources he is using as a single American.
At lunch, look at folks.
You've seen a little Chicom gymnasts.
What do they weigh?
38 pounds, a couple of rice cakes, and they're winning medals too, and they're not destroying the environment.
They're not making a big carbon footprint with their rice cakes.
They are behaving responsibly according to Obama, the Lord Messiah.
And they're still winning.
They're not have these big people out there.
You know, ChiComs are in terms of stature, they're small.
You don't require much little rice from rice cakes, and that's it.
Look at what our guy's doing.
No wonder we're hated.
And I've just described breakfast.
Let's go to lunch.
At lunch, Michael Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pot a pound of pasta, two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayonnaise on white bread.
I mean, not only is this not only is this stealing from the rest of the world, it's not even healthily correct.
He should be eating whole wheat bread and low-fed mayonnaise.
But no, no, no, no, no.
He's going hogwild.
White bread, typical American mayonnaise.
Do you know how many eggs it takes to make mayonnaise?
You know how many this guy's not only eating eggs and omelets, do you know how many eggs it takes to make a jar of mayonnaise?
You gotta break a lot of eggs to make a lot of men.
This guy is an egg thief.
I'm surprised that Chicoms have this kind of food to supply this guy.
Well, let's stick with lunch.
Pound of enriched pasta, two large ham cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread, capping off the meal by chugging a thousand calories worth of energy drinks.
Then at dinner.
Michael Phelps really loads up on the carbs.
That's what he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five hours a day, six days a week regimen, a pound of pasta with bolognese sauce, and an entire pizza.
He washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.
This will not sit well with the Lord Messiah Barack Obama.
I know, ladies and gentlemen, achievers use more energy.
High achievers, high producers, use a lot of energy, and I have said so with pride.
But now we read that Michael Phelps burning using 12,000 calories a day.
While the Democrats are trying to alert everybody to the dangers posed by energy.
The Democrats and left have now demonizing oil.
They're demonizing our own ability to be energy independent.
They don't want us to be able to get our own independent sources of oil or natural gas.
And yet, look at Michael Phelps.
No citizen of the world he.
He couldn't care less that those little Chinese gymnasts are eating rice cakes.
He's out there sacing up more than his fair share, more than he needs.
This is pure gluttony.
This is typical in the world of Obama of what the United States has become.
He is the all-time leader in Olympic medals, but that's what's on the surface.
That's what I said at the beginning.
That's the America.
That's a Michael Phelps of the world knows.
But the real Michael Phelps, people like Obama knows.
And the American left knows.
Doesn't matter.
See, you're missing the point, Snertley.
You're missing the point.
And a lot of you people say, Rush, what are you talking about?
He's winning all these medals.
He's outproducing everybody just like America does.
Right.
But America's wrong, don't you understand?
For doing this.
America's wrong for producing so much.
America's wrong for using so much energy.
America's wrong for being the best.
America is wrong for being the strongest.
Don't you understand it?
Have you not gotten it through your heads yet where Obama and the left are coming from?
And I am using an example here of Michael Phelps as an illustration.
One man representing a nation.
And if the if Obama and the Democrats are consistent, they would apologize to the world for all these medals.
They would apologize because he's cheating, because he's using more than his fair share, more than he needs.
And I don't see him helping the Chinese win any more medals.
I don't see him concerned about the future of anybody except himself.
I don't see, I mean, Michael Phelps, I mean, he's, as far as the American left is concerned in the Democrat Party led by Barack Obama, Michael Phelps is the epitome of what is wrong with the United States of America today.
Back in just a sec.
Hello, this is Barack Obama.
I am on vacation, but I want to come out and say that we need to apologize.
We need to apologize, and I, as president, will apologize for America.
The problems are going on in the world this week.
At the Olympics, you got the Chinese lying about the little girl and whether she sang the national anthem, and the uh Russians are lying about uh well, maybe they're not lying, but they could be lying about leaving Georgia and uh participating in the ceasefire.
And then the guy Iran been been lying all along about a nuclear program.
Everybody's lying.
Why is that?
Could it could it just be that America has forced them to lie by asking them what the truth is?
I don't know.
Before we ask our other nations to tell the truth, we need to ask questions about ourselves first.
That's how I'm going to behave as president.
Because I believe that this administration has asked for the truth from too many people.
We shouldn't be putting our neighbors in a position of having to tell a lie instead of the truth by asking them questions.
I mean, who do we think we are?
You know, let's all get together and well well, I got a tea time.
Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.
Uh, I got a tea time, so uh, I'll see you later.
Acting President Barack Obama with an exclusive message, the audience here at the EIB network.
Now, I'm serious, do not tell me that Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian of all time.
Don't go there with me.
We shouldn't be draping gold medals around his neck and glorifying an American embarrassment.
We should all be embarrassed by that.
We should all be angry about this.
Not snurtly, listen to me, look at me on this.
Energy is to be conserved, it is not to be burned.
Can't we agree on that?
What do you suppose?
We have to seek, we have to seek a small energy footprint if we are to make life fair and to protect this planet.
If we can't win gold medals without burning thousands of excess calories, then so be it.
But if we have to go out and burn All these excess calories.
Create the carbon footprint to produce those calories, then burn them.
In wanton disregard.
Do you realize what he eats for breakfast is more than the whole nation of Korea has in a week?
And what about the starving in Africa?
Ladies and gentlemen.
This is individual greed.
As I am learning it, as it's being taught me by the American left and Barack Obama, the most merciful Lord Mothia.
The Olympic ideal is not using more than your fair share.
The Olympic ideal is sameness.
That is why there ought to be no winners.
The opening ceremony taught us this.
Nothing but regimented sameness, nothing individual, is to be celebrated.
And yet look at what's happening.
The home of rugged individualism once again running away with all the metals in his swimming pools because of greed, sloth, and selfish consumption of energy that is not renewable, by the way.
Anyway, it's it's terribly upsetting, and I wanted to, by the way, by require the John Edwards tune from yesterday, Ed.
We have got to mention this earlier because it wasn't quite a priority, but yesterday we introduced this tune, John Edwards singing about his plight.
Basic, and by the way, the drive-by's, don't you love this?
How the drive-by's are now digging deep into this.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC Neils, Washington, has dug deep and found out that Edwards has been lying about when he told his life he was having the affair and when he was having the fair and not having the affair, when his wife knew about it, and so forth.
And you know that the inquirer is just gloating, but what remains outstanding, and still I have this question.
How in the world do you see how the Democrats are preparing to celebrate the Clintons?
The Clintons have scored two nights of this convention away from the Messiah.
By the way, Maureen Dowd today in the New York Times just destroys Hillary.
Just yes, I will share highlights in mere moments.
But here's Bill Clinton, who is going to be celebrated with an entire night practically in his honor at the Democrat convention.
And what did he do?
Well, he had numerous sexual encounters with a woman barely half his age, an intern, in fact, lied about it to his staff, lied about the American people only when the stained blue breast popped up, uh dress, sorry, popped up, was the truth known.
We've had allegations of numerous affairs.
Jennifer Flowers and a parade of women have made allegations, including one, Juanita Broderick, who alleged rape.
Now here we come the Breck girl, who had one little affair, might have sired a child, and they won't want him anywhere near the Democrat convention.
I don't understand these Democrats.
In normal times, what Edward has done, as the case with Clinton would be a resume enhancement.
But they don't want him anywhere near this convention while they're going to welcome Bill Clinton.
Give him a whole night than Hillary has the night before that.
The big question remains, as far as the Breck girl is concerned, whose baby is this?
By the way, folks, it gets even worse.
I just found out on a good from a good source that Michael Phelps also drives an SUV, a hog SUV.
Not surprised.
See, you see, ladies and gentlemen, American consumption.
Uh, when it results in exceptionalism in athletics, why that's perfectly fine.
Why that's where we celebrate that kind of consumption.
American consumption for the greatest production and the greatest rewards.
Why, that is fine if we do this in sports.
However, if we consume and produce exceptionalism in goods and services for others, including ourselves, then somehow we are committing a sin.
I just told Snerdley, I don't want to prepare you people for this.
It won't be long before the Media Matters website headline says Rush Colin, Michael Phelps is ugly American.
They're the left.
We can predict what they're going to do before they do it.
By the way, Tom Skilling, a weatherman in Chicago, has said that this decade has had the fewest 90 degree days in Chicago since uh 1930.
The fewest.
In the midst of global warming, the fewest 90 degree days since 1930.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Rush Limb Boy, your guiding light.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Back to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
We're going to Baltimore.
This is Marsha.
Marsha's one of my all-time favorite top ten female names.
Nice to have you with us.
Oh, nice to talk to you, Ross.
Nice to talk to you.
Thank you.
Rush, I wanted to tell you that I think it's disgraceful that President Bush went to uh communist China.
And why couldn't he have a line in the saying and say no?
You know, that's an awfully repressive.
Now wait a second.
Wait a second.
I kind of disagree with this.
If why why why should we send our athletes then?
If we're if the president is going to go, if we're going to say it's inappropriate for the president to go, uh and by the way, he did he did if trip is deductible.
He had some meetings with Hu Xin Tao.
And uh you never know what was discussed there.
But I mean if if the pres if we're gonna send the president, we're not gonna send the president, we gotta not send the team, right?
Well, if you want to look at it that way, ha however, uh the Germans sent a team and the Chancellor didn't go.
She didn't go.
That's right.
I forgot.
I forgot.
We're supposed to be imitating the Europeans.
You have a good point.
That's right.
And Sarkozy didn't go.
And Sarkozy's world savior number two behind Obama, because he's over there solving the crisis after Obama told him to solve it in Georgia.
Well, it's just that, you know, they suffer so much there.
It's such a repressive their faces are like stone.
I know, look it, I know exactly what you're saying.
And let me get serious.
I'm I'm kind of a jocular mood.
It's a second night in a row.
I've had no more than three hours sleep, and you know when that ha no, don't apologize.
I'm thinking of making it a routine.
Mine seems to work faster, and I'm in a always in a funny little giddy mood.
But this is this is really serious.
We have the dressing up here.
I know what you're getting at.
And you're you you th you're worried that the president is is in our presence is is uh sanctioning this.
We we have the dressing up of of an oppressive regime to made uh make it look like something it's not.
Uh that opening ceremony and all the happy go-lucky funny and happy little Chinese children running around.
They don't show you what's going on in Tibet, they don't show you the political prisoners, they don't tell you what they're doing to the Falloon Gong, and we have to sit there and listen to the syrupy soap opera lingo from the NBC commentators telling us what a wonderful place it is.
So the Chicoms are pulling off something here, uh, to people that don't know history.
Uh just like they're doing exactly what Hitler wanted to do with the Olympics uh he had in 1936, and that's put a face on his regime that is 180 degrees out of phase with reality.
And that's what the Chiccoms uh are doing as well.
And I uh by the way, I was very gratified.
I read George Wilder, he saw that opening ceremony the exact same way I did.
Totalitarian sameness.
Yes.
The the elimination of the individual, the elimination of even individual identities, nothing but fifteen thousand identically dressed, identically performing, identical synchronized performances, identically looking people.
It's unbelievable.
And uh well, no, it's totally believe.
They've learned how to use our media.
But Mr. Snerdley, the program observer has a question.
Do you mind if I ask him that question, Marsha?
No.
What's the question, Snertle?
Mm-hmm.
Uh see Marcia Snerdley is very very upset with you.
Uh and he wanted me to pass it on to you.
What?
We're supposed to pull out like Carter didn't go uh to the Moscow Olympics.
Uh I well, th this is my this is my opinion.
I I don't know.
You you've kind of changed I don't know, you've kind of uh jumbled my thoughts a little bit, but I felt that we shouldn't have sank.
I I just felt that President Bush shouldn't have gone.
Well, it's too late now.
Of course.
He did go, and you can't throw him out of office because that's gonna happen constitutionally.
Right.
So there's really nothing you can do but feel bad about it, and that's not productive.
No, no, but uh what can we do about communist China?
Just pretend it doesn't exist or what?
No, we've got we've got uh no, no, no.
They own most of our debt.
Uh we are engaging them in a lot of uh Of uh economic activity.
In fact, you know, China's an interesting case study because the uh the Chinese are doing their best to maintain their oppressive regime while at the same time uh importing as much capitalism as they can, and then they have no they have no choice but then to do that.
Communism cannot keep those leaders in power, and that population of a billion people fed.
It just can't do it.
Uh unless they start building walls around the country and start killing people that try to get out of there, which they do, by the way.
Uh if it's r they oppress religions that they disagree with, they don't like any religion is communists, the state is the religion.
But uh Hu Jintao, the premier, and the leading Chaicom has a daunting challenge.
I mean, these like every leader, he wants to stay in office, he wants to stay in power.
And he cannot have a citizenry that revolts.
Now they take care of a lot of this in the in the school system where they like the national anthem, uh, the the the what was it, the hymn to the motherland that was so I mean they th those people are raised.
This is what big problem that some Americans have with our public school system here, although on a smaller scale, every Chinese child is raised to believe that their God is the state, and that their provider and guarantor is the state.
They worship the state.
And when people don't worship the state and are renegades, that's when the tanks run them down in Tiananmen Square and this sort of thing, and that hasn't changed.
You just don't see it as much.
And American liberalism is uh, you know, much the same outlook in terms of, you know, where all benefits, wants and needs should come from.
They should not come from individual labor, they should come from the government mandating that everybody get an equal share of all these things, and only then will we be a perfect nation.
But Hu Xintao cannot run his entire country that way.
There's a billion people.
That requires a lot of commerce, a lot of jobs.
He's got to have people working.
His biggest challenge is finding and creating 25 million new jobs a year and keeping them out of the cities.
He's got to find jobs out on the countryside in the Hitterlands and keeping them out of the cities.
The cities are packed and overcrowded, polluted, and if those people come to the cities for work, then there's even more strain on the energy policies and the uh production and it wouldn't been able to keep up with it.
So he's got he's got huge problems.
So he's mixing capitalism in with the oppressive regime.
The Russians failed at this uh with Glasnost and uh and Perestroika.
But the Chicoms have done it a little bit wiser.
They have uh invested in the United States.
They have bought a lot of our treasury bill date uh debt, and they uh they have the have hold a little uh power over us uh in that way, and they're at the same time ginning up their military, and they're forming alliances with people that are our sworn enemies, primarily Iran uh and uh Middle Eastern countries, and they have sort of a buffer between us and uh and North Korea is as well.
But if it came if it came down to it, they would side with the North Koreans over us.
Uh and if it comes down to Taiwan, you know, I think partly give you something, an example here to think of.
Uh the Chikoms are are certainly watching what's happening with the Russian and Georgian situation.
They have a similar situation with Taiwan.
They've wanted Taiwan back ever since the 40s.
It's nothing.
It's a tiny little island compared to the mainland of China, but it represents renegades.
It represents people who fled the mainland with shed Shankashek and want no part of communism.
We have a treaty with Formosa, Taiwan, to defend them if the Chicoms attack.
Now, you better understand that Chicoms are no doubt watching how the rest of the world reacts to the Russian aggression in Georgia.
And if they see that the United States, nor anybody else is going to do anything about that other than shout a bunch of words and send in a bunch of food and medicine, then they're going to make the calculation at some point they're going to be able to get away with taking Taiwan back.
They'll do it if they do it, it'll not be because they need it for anything strategically.
They're going to take it because they don't want people who are Chinese, who are not communist, who are living in freedom so far or so near, better rather to the uh coastline of China.
It's a bugaboo with them, and it's going to always be.
And they're going to, at some point in the future, they are going to try to take it back, just on principle.
So we can't we can't disengage from China.
We can't get ourselves out of the world.
I remember the 1984 presidential campaign with Gary Hartpence and Walter Mondol.
I was watching a debate with these guys one night, and they arguing who would get us out of the world first.
You know, Mondo's I'll get us out of South Africa.
Uh Carter would uh Or Hart Pence would up try to uh stay upstage uh with getting out of some co we cannot disengage uh from the world just can't do it.
So it is so we have to make the best of the of the of the fact that capitalism is finding its way into uh into China and uh hope that that has some undermining effect of the repressive regime down the road.
But that's you know something that intelligence human intelligence and other operations can foment and help is what we're actually trying to do with Iran.
That's a very friendly population toward the United States and it's why we're not committing the military action there because we don't want to anger the population there that holding out hope that um somebody will come to their rescue and take them away from the footprints of the of the mullahs Marsha thanks for the call one quick we for we go to the break it's Katie in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Hi.
Hi Russ.
Hi.
Megaditos from the Motor City Thank you.
Thanks very much.
I'm calling Hey Katie Kate Katie is is your mayor still in jail.
Uh no he's not they uh hauled him back in the court yesterday because they thought he had violated um his bond uh from another case so the mayor of Detroit is now out and is able to participate in the Obama campaign.
Yes yes he hasn't been saying much he's just been making a lot of sad faces and looking skyward so looking looking looking for some divine intervention.
Very embarrassing, very embarrassing for all of us here, especially all of us conservative Republicans.
Very, very embarrassing.
My question to you is, well, actually, I was calling to tell you you're 100% correct.
A couple weeks ago you had talked about, you were discussing the sex in the city voter demographic.
And you had said, made a comment about how it seems like women need to be married before they get smart about politics.
I'm 26 years old, I'm single, and I'm 100% with you on that because most of my single friends are liberal, and all of my conservative friends are married.
And it's quite frustrating to be someone in that demographic, and I cannot stand Obama.
And to have the media tell you, because you're single, white, female, in your 20s, you should be supporting Obama 100%.
Let me retrace our steps on this so that people understand what this actually was.
This was a, it was actually a political poll, and I forget who did it.
But they did find out that women who were married were generally more informed and more informed.
more educated more aware of what was going on single women were more Oprahized and uh whether they were single divorced or what have you and so the the question uh that had to be asked was uh what happens here do you as a woman get married and a man makes you smarter is the way I phrase the question I'm happy to hear that you are agreeing with the with that premise.
Now, the fact that you are single and you are still a conservative, are you thinking about getting married so that you don't lose this position that you have?
I don't think so.
My father was always, I have two sisters.
We didn't have any boys in the house.
My father always was talking politics.
He was very involved.
He's been a lifelong conservative.
I was going to say, you sound well-adjusted.
You sound like you've got everything nailed down, and you have confidence and no doubts about you.
And it's because of a man.
my father um taught us to think of ourselves okay so it was a man yeah but you you did you so you don't have to get married.
That's that's cool.
No, no nothing against marriage but if you want if the right guy comes along snap it up.
Yeah it's hard in Michigan there's a lot of liberal men.
It's uh it's a liberal uh very liberal most of the liberal men are out of work in in in in addition to that so there's nothing that they can provide for you.
Yes no no no no no that's uh you'll look hold out Katie hold out high standards don't compromise.
I I absolutely will not oh yes yes I've been looking into and actually Texas uh Texas looks very appealing to me.
Now you'll run into a little more competition down there, but the fruits of your labors uh will produce uh uh a much greater score.
Yeah.
I have to run here because uh I not mean that in a figurative sense, of course.
Uh-huh.
I I have to I'm way long on this break.
I gotta go, but it's great to hear from you.
Thanks for calling.
Thank you very much.
All right.
We'll take a quick time out.
We'll be back and continue serving humanity right after this.
By the way, I am told that uh French President Sarkozy was at the Olympics, at least he was seen at the uh at the opening ceremonies.
I don't know how long he hung around, but he was there.
So I need to make that correction.
Uh Bill in Glenview, Illinois.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Yes, sir.
Very nice to talk to you.
Um I was born in one of the former Russian satellites.
Uh, it was freed by Gorbachev or Glasnosperstroika, and uh Russia usually has three patented reasons for going in a country.
A is to liberate, of course.
Uh, two is to put down unrest, like in Hungary, and of course, the third one is because somewhere, somehow, some Russian citizens in the field were killed, so they have to go out and straighten things out.
Wait a second now.
Wait, wait, wait, just a minute.
I want to make sure I heard you right.
The Russians generally go into countries for three reasons.
Well, that's what they usually taught them.
The liberators, or they put down unrest.
Wait.
Or uh let me ask the question.
Is this what you say the Russians are doing, or what they say the reasons are that they go in these countries?
That's most of the reasons they say that the all the time.
Okay, so they're going in to liberate people, like in this case, they're liberating the people of South Ossession.
Well, well, I'm not sure that is in this case.
Uh they have probably other reasons like oil, but uh they could say that they're liberating these people, and that's one of their patented reasons that they'll always use uh go in the countries.
Right.
Well, they have passed out a bunch of uh of uh phony passports, Russian passports to people living there, and they can say they're now oppressed with the people of Georgia.
Well, you know, if if they say that certain Russian citizens there are oppressed or were killed and so on, they don't have to prove it.
They just say that's what it is and they go in.
Right.
Well, because the drive-by media will accept what the Russians say about this.
Well, of course.
I hope uh Obama is listening because a guy like Putin would probably eat him for breakfast and spit him out without even him knowing what transport.
Well, here Putin Putin is already might grab the special exclusive address, uh Ed that we have from Vladimir Putin that we played in the first.
I want you to listen to this.
You have it ready, Ed?
Okay.
Okay, here it is.
Now from Putin New Services, Moscow.
A statement from his Excellency Vladimir Putin.
Today we have agreed to cease fire after running out of things to shoot at in the renegade outlaw state of Georgia.
Georgia has continually threatened our motherland, forcing us to take steps to stop their regression.
Sure, on the map, they look pretty small compared to Russia.
But we can't take any chances.
And I haven't had this much fun since I sent that soup to the president of Ukraine.
I want to thank Barack Obama for suggesting the ceasefire.
What a great idea.
I look forward to us working closely together after the election.
Yours truly, Vladimir.
You have it.
So Vladimir, you can't wait to work with Obama.
By the way, uh whatever Russia says is believed.
Here's a montage of Bill Schneider assigning blame.
It could be just what John McCain needs to highlight his strengths.
McCain has talked tough from the outset of the crisis.
His statement on the radio was ominous.
Some voters may worry, does he want to start a new cold war?
The risk for McCain is that he could overplay the issue and frighten war-weary voters whose priorities are at home right now.
The Russians are doing a pretty good job of frightening people already.
So here's here's McCain lumped in by CNN's Bill Schneider with the Russians in frightening people.
Billy let me Bill, let me tell you what really frightens people.
And that's Obama, is what really frightens Americans.
Back after this.
Don't go away.
Nancy Pelosi's book's been out two weeks.
She sold a total of five thousand three hundred and thirty-three copies.
You couldn't even start a decent fire with that few mini books.
That's all.
Yep.
