And greetings once again, music lovers and thrill seekers.
Rush Limbaugh back in the prestigious Attila the Hun chair at the Distinguished Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.

A Democrat National Convention collectively holding its breath as Bill Clinton strides to the podium tonight.
And they're worried that he might blow the whole thing wide open.
And they're just panicked.
They're not sure he'll stick to script.
They will be watching eagerly.
By the way, New Orleans is now considering evacuating as Hurricane Gustav model forecast.
The models indicate that New Orleans is closer than not to where they think it's going to go.
But you know, it really is early.
This thing's only moving five miles an hour.
It did finally change direction.
We here in Florida become lay experts, if you will, on these things.
And I've followed this stuff religiously.
And there's this big high, is this thing in a category three or category four when it gets to the Gulf of Mexico, they say.
But it's moving very slowly.
Here's the way we in Florida look at this.
There is a high pressure ridge over the Bahamas in Florida.
And hurricanes don't like high pressure, so they avoid it.
So this high pressure area is here, but it is moving east slowly, but it's moving east.
It's going to be out of here someday.
This hurricane will track to the west around the high pressure ridge and then turn northwest.
What are you laughing at in there, Dawn?
Oh, yeah, I could do it.
I could do it.
I could do it.
I could do weather on TV.
This thing is going to turn around the high pressure ridge, but it's got to speed up to beat the high pressure ridge.
If the high pressure ridge moves before the hurricane moves far enough west and it's only going five miles an hour, then the right side of their cone comes into play, and that's Tampa.
Right now, no models take it there.
A couple take it pretty close.
But if this thing doesn't speed up, then of course the turn to the northwest will happen sooner.
But if their forecast is right or close to right, New Orleans is once again here in the bullseye.
And so they're already making plans here to evacuate the city way in advance of when they started that process when Hurricane Katrina hit.
Bobby Jindal, I saw Bobby Jindal said that if it does go, he's not going to the Republican convention.
You're not going to go there because he's the governor of Louisiana.
And it's, I just saw something funny.
I was watching CNBC, which is not known for weather news.
It's a financial network.
And they ran a crawl at the bottom of the screen.
They said, National Hurricane Center moves forecast track east.
I said, what?
So I watched it, and they hadn't, it's the same 11 o'clock track forecast.
They're not going to update it until 5 o'clock Eastern Time.
It's the same forecast at 11 that they're saying now was new.
It's not new.
And in fact, the hurricane has made its turn west as they thought it would do last night.
And then they ran a graphic that says, National Hurricane Center says, pay little attention to our track.
Essentially.
Again, we don't know.
We do not know where it's going.
But they're planning to evacuate, decamp, and move out of New Orleans.
All right, Barack Obama, speech tomorrow night.
Who knows what kind of mess he'll have to clean up after tonight?
Because tonight, what do you have?
You have Clinton, and then you have, you got the roll call.
Roll call is going to start around five o'clock our time.
And it's the have they decided how long they're going to let the roll call go?
Okay, so they're still fighting over that.
There was a one time they want to do the roll call from the delegates' hotel rooms today to hide it.
And then they had another plan.
Well, if they do the roll call from the convention, stop the roll call after Hillary gets her delegates from New York voting for her, and then she pledges her delegates to Obama and they avoid him.
And then you wonder, ladies and gentlemen, if they let this thing go on, it's going to demonstrate how close it was, and that's what they don't want the country watching the convention to see.
After the roll call comes Clinton, and after Clinton comes Biden.
You better be prepared to stay up late because when Biden starts, you don't know when he's going to finish.
He might have to grab the hook.
In fact, the Politico has a funny story today.
During his first full day of solo campaigning, newly mitted Democrat vice presidential candidate Joe Biden showed some of the flashes of the hyperbole, exaggerations, and quips that Republicans are hoping to use to paint him as a loose cannon.
In three sets of unscripted and sometimes rambling remarks yesterday, Biden thanked God that one of his audiences was overwhelmingly female.
He called Michelle Obama's convention speech the most remarkable speech I have heard in my life and predicted it would propel him and running mate Barack Obama to victory in the fall.
He's the only one who thinks that Michelle's speech was the most remarkable speech they've heard in their life.
Life?
How about the Kennedy inaugural?
He also said that he didn't care about the press, that Obama has a sixth sense, and Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner has the most incredible story in American politics, that he and Barack Obama had the most incredible opportunity since Franklin Roosevelt.
He choked up a handful of times, once wiping away tears, after proclaiming that having a chance to be vice president pales in comparison to representing Delaware in the Senate.
He just said, he starts crying because he's so excited, and then he says it's no big deal.
It pales compared to representing Delaware in the Senate.
None of his assertions, in and of themselves, is likely to cause problems for the Democrat presidential or vice presidential candidate, but the comments offer a harbinger of what to expect from Biden, a Delaware senator whose freewheeling stream of consciousness has gotten him into trouble.
The story goes on to give some details.
Turning to Obama, he said, Michelle, I mean this seriously, there are speeches that are profound in the things that they say and what they communicate, but the mark of a truly incredible speech is when it's able to change the perception of a nation about not only an individual, but about circumstance.
That was what was so profound about Michelle's speech last night.
Well, now he may have a little bit of a point when he talked about changing perceptions, but not the way he means.
They did seek to change perceptions, that she's not this raging, angry.
I mean, you remember, you know, Barack could get assassinated going to the gas station like 1950s Alabama.
Or the, you've heard it all the first time I'm proud of my country and, you know, this sort of stuff.
That's what they did, the transformation or transform.
That's what they had to change.
And they did it.
In the process, they threw feminism under the bus.
Anyway, Obama's speech tomorrow night, cleaning up the mess that will hopefully be made tonight.
He promises a speech with more purpose and no mere rhetoric.
He promised to accept the Democrat nomination as a workman with a workmanlike speech, offering policy details and not simply his trademark rhetoric.
His critics say it's not enough for him to promise change and hope without spelling out how he intends to do that if elected on November 4th.
I'm not aiming for a lot of high rhetoric.
I'm much more concerned to get this.
This is what Obama says of his speech tomorrow night.
I'm much more concerned with communicating how I intend to help middle-class families live their lives.
This is what he said to reporters in Illinois.
Now, Senator Obama, we in the United States are adults, and we do not need the likes of you or any president or any politician telling us how to rid our lives.
What you want, what we want from you, is to get out of our lives as much as possible and cut our taxes.
We do not want you to tell us how to live our lives.
But you see, he says that he's very proud of this.
He thinks this is what a lot of voters want to hear.
And of certain people, you know, certain Democrats, they do want the government to live their life for them, so to make it as less painful, they think, as it can be.
Quick time out.
More of your phone calls right around the corner.
Don't go away.
Your guiding light to times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, tumult, chaos, and other things besides what's going on at the Democrat Party.
800-282-2882.
We're just talking about this party and how everybody's just on pins and needles.
The drive-bys are panting away with excitement.
The Democrat delegates and the Obama people are scared to death over what Bill Clinton is going to say tonight.
So, Brian Williams, anchor NBC Nightly News, spoke with the DNC TV corresponder and correspondent Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Washington, about Clinton's speech tonight, just now, just this afternoon.
And Brian Williams said, Bill Clinton tonight, Andrea, it'll be interesting to know when that one is loaded in the teleprompter who has read it.
What do you think he is going to do?
I think it's a late load to the teleprompter.
And I think Mark Penn is back in the game.
So here you've got all these big fat cats, the Obama money people, angry that they don't want to pay her debt because it's going to pay off Mark Penn, you know, the loathed, quote-unquote, political consultant that they think brought race and all sorts of anger into the campaign.
And he's now back in the game helping Bill Clinton, we're told, with his speech.
You can't make this up.
Oh, this is just juicy.
If this is true, if Bill Clinton went and got Mark Penn out of retirement to help write this speech and then let everybody know that was happening, that is another thumb in the eye at Obama because Andrea Mitchell, NBC News Washington, is right.
They hate Mark Penn because they think Mark Penn came up with all the dirt and started all the negative campaigning against the Messiah.
And most of her debt is owed to Mario.
I think $10 million or more she owes to Mark Penn.
And they hate Penn, and they don't want to help her pay off her debt because he's going to get most of it.
And so Clinton lets it be known that Mark Penn is back helping write this speech.
And Mark Penn, what does Mark Penn know about foreign policy?
Which is what they want Clinton to talk about.
Here's Carol in Caldwell, Texas.
Carol, thank you for calling.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
And I was listening to your commentary this morning, and I got an idea of a theme for the Democratic Convention.
What's that?
And I believe that it should be, what if God was one of us?
Where would this crowd go with that?
I mean, how would they answer that?
Would the answer to the question panic them?
Well, I think Nancy Pelosi already thought that he was, and that they would probably all get down on the street.
My problem is they already think they've got a God.
They're building a temple to their God from which he's going to speak tomorrow night.
Exactly.
And that's why that should be the theme if he's here already.
I see what you're saying.
We are the ones we've been waiting for because I'm the one you've been waiting for.
What if God were one of us?
Exactly.
Yes.
You know something?
That is highly creative.
That is very good.
I am always impressed and I applaud creativity by audience members like you.
I thank you.
I think you've been an inspiration to that.
Well, thank you so much.
Can I ask you a question, a personal question?
Sure.
Do I sound okay today?
Do I sound, I mean, I mean, not health-wise.
Do I sound like that's a good show?
Yeah, you've done it right on.
I mean, especially by your opening.
Because I'm so distracted.
You can't believe how distracted I am.
I just wanted to make sure that I was meeting expectations.
Well, could I share one other creative thought with you?
Yeah, you're on a roll.
Go ahead.
I have an acronym for Obama.
You know what, Snerdley?
You want to let him take it and then he can.
Yeah, because I don't know what your acronym is going to spell.
It's just going to spell out Obama.
Okay, we're on a 40-second delay here, so we can chance it.
Go ahead.
Okay.
He is the official boneheaded agent for Messing Up America.
The official boneheaded agent for Messing Up America.
Yeah, you should.
You know, you need to keep the audience waiting for more.
Sometimes you can give them too much.
That's true.
All right.
All right.
Thank you, Carol.
Appreciate it.
What if God were one of us?
Oh, it is.
I don't listen to current songs on the radio because I can't hear them.
There's a new song every day.
Who sings it?
Who sings What If God Were One of Us?
Is it a country tune?
A jewel, a pop tune, a typical chick song.
You know, what if God were one of us?
Well, it still works.
It's a good idea to be funny as it could be.
If I still had my TV show, I would implore, create a graphic during video coverage of the whole convention, What If God Were One of Us, and then put a picture of Obama as they have published in Halo-type light.
Here's Bujar in Queens.
Bujar, thank you for waving your next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Good afternoon, Rush.
Afternoon.
Thank you for taking my call.
Remember, I called you several months ago when I said that New York is going to be closed.
I mean, McCain will carry New York.
Yes, I do remember you saying that.
Well, I'm going to make another prognosis.
We're going to, I mean, McCain is going to carry Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey for sure.
McCain's going to carry Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey for sure.
Based on what, Bujar?
Based on the Reagan Democrats.
You know, I listened to a speech last night.
I'm a firm Clinton supporter.
And I believe that we taught the party a lesson last night.
We showed them how the success looks, how creativity looks, and how the future of America looks.
And they moved the party to the far left.
And we, the centrists, we're going to make sure that McCain will be elected.
Okay, Bujar.
Now, this is it's interesting because to people like me, the Democrat Party has been far left for a long time, and that they're really the only difference between Hillary and Obama is that Hillary has a little bit more experience in not giving away who she is and what she's going to do.
But in terms of policy, you can't get farther left than both of them.
It's just that Hillary doesn't have as many associations with noted scalawags as Obama does.
But what is it that's causing you Clinton people to all of a sudden see the Democrat Party go in a direction you don't want it to go in when it's been there for a number of years?
Well, Rush, I backed to Defer.
You know, the Clinton record.
He was a standfist, and he in foreign policy, he was a moderate Republican.
So we'll be so Hillary Clinton would do the same thing.
But the thing is that it is a matter of fact that only Clinton, after Clinton brought Democratic Party to the center, he won twice.
And also in England, in the election, Tony Blair won.
And, you know, it was a fact.
Now, these people, I call them the group of losers, Howard Dean, Kerry, Gore, my God, you know, and the group of losers, they lost the election.
So just put me on the record that they lost the election.
All right.
Well, we'll see if you're right.
I'm sitting here.
I had to duck my head here a moment ago.
And Rush, one more thing, Rush.
Oh, you're watching, okay.
We will punish these people in the future elections, not just this one, Rush.
You're going to punish the Obama people?
No, no, we're going to punish whoever is elected with this group four years from now, eight years from now.
We're going to hold grudges for that long times to come.
It's going to be Hillary four years from now if Obama loses.
Well, and Chelsea, you know, people say the era of Clinton's over.
Chelsea, can we say 2016?
She'll be 32.
No, she'll be old enough to run in 2016.
The year of Clinton's got a long way to go.
But look, Clinton was a centrist Republican in foreign policy.
What stopped Bill Clinton in his tracks?
Look at the cabinet level up.
Look at Janet Renos.
Look at the people that made a mess of this nation's foreign policy.
Republicans don't do that.
The only thing that stopped Bill Clinton was the Republican congressional victory in 1994.
Los Angeles Times blog, the top of the ticket.
The Reverend Al Sharpton, not happy with the Clintons.
The Democrat National Convention at Buzz.
This is from yesterday, by the way, with anticipation over Hillary's speech last night and Clinton's speech tonight.
Al Sharpton says that she and her husband cannot afford anything less than an extraordinary effort to help Obama's candidacy, beginning this week with an intensified push for party loyalty.
Otherwise, Sharpton warned their reputations within the party, once sterling, could be permanently tarnished.
It can damage their legacy in the long run if they don't get a grip pretty quick, Sharpton said to the Los Angeles Times.
I bet that really has them quaking in their boots over at Clinton Central.
Al Sharpton warning.
Al smart enough to know what's going to happen here.
By the way, Al, you took a little while to get on board this train.
Don't forget, Al, you were all upset over Biden's comment that finally the Democrats had a clean, articulate black guy.
And you were, you know, you were, you, you were, you're holding back.
Holding back, Reverend Sharpton, because you were a little jealous out there.
You take showers, you're a clean guy.
Here's the Democrats going all ape over this new guy that doesn't have any street cred like you do.
So he was late to the table as well.
Karen in Mesa, Arizona.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Hi.
I'm kind of nervous, but I just wanted to say that I forced myself to watch Rush, I mean, to watch Hillary last night.
And I really, she drives me crazy when I watch her talk.
How about the color of the pantsuit, Karen?
What do you think of the pumpkin orange pantsuit?
Well, you know, I don't know.
I'm not so into clothes and stuff.
No, I thought it looked nice with the blue background, I guess.
I mean, it's memorable.
Let's put it that way.
Orange is always a memorable color.
But, because it's so glaring.
But anyway, what I thought was interesting was, you know, they said, oh, she's out there to throw support behind Barack.
But all through the video that they showed in the beginning, it was just showing her campaigning all over again because it was showing all of her stump speeches with all her name behind her.
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.
And not once did she inject in there, I know she hasn't done it often, but she has gone out for Barack lately.
Not once did they put any of those videos with her stumping for Barack with Barack, Barack, Barack behind her.
That's right.
That's a very good observation.
There was not one scene of Hillary with Barack, you know, arm in arm, yucking it up, looking like friends.
Exactly right.
Right.
And I also thought that, you know, it was the first time I felt, and I couldn't, I can't believe I'm saying this, first time I felt some respect for Hillary.
Because, you know why?
She didn't, she did kind of step in it, but she did not dwell on victimhood like she always did.
And my attitude is victims get pity, and they don't get respect.
Victims get pity, and I feel sorry for them, and I want to do what I can to help them.
But you don't get that sense of, I respect these people for what they're good for.
Like what you get is you get respect when you pull yourself out of victimhood, when you pull yourself out of constantly complaining about what the situation is around you, and you do something about it.
And only with respect do you get equality.
Are you laughing at me?
Only with respect do you get equality.
And so, anyway, I'll let you talk.
I'm sorry.
It's your show.
Thank you.
Now, she was very crafty, very smart last night in that she got away with making it about herself.
She mentioned Obama, you know, the appropriate two or three times.
But she did not recommend him.
She did not suggest that there's anything about him other than he's the nominee to vote for.
However, she was playing a victim card last night.
She was doing everything she could to make her supporters feel victimized because they already do.
Most of her supporters are, well, a good number.
I don't know if it's most, but I'd say it's well over half of her supporters are women, feminist women, who were serious about wanting to see a woman president in their lifetime.
And what happened in this campaign was a microcosm of what's happened to these kinds of women their whole lives.
They have accepted the promises of feminism.
They have abandoned family considerations.
Most of them put off family and relationships, and they went full bore into corporate America, started wearing the pantsuits, and tried to get where they wanted to go, crush the black ceiling or the glass ceiling.
And what happened?
As it always happened in their lives, some young, good-looking, charismatic guy applies for a job in the office and he gets promoted over these women who've been there and what are they doing and following the rules as they believe because he's better looking, because he's younger, because he's a man.
And lo and behold, it happened to him in this campaign.
The same thing, except the difference is this guy isn't qualified.
This guy's not qualified.
And the Hillary people think that she is because, you know, when she says, I've spent 35 years of my life fighting for child care, we still don't have it.
So she's admitting a failure, but it's the fight that she wants to tell people that she's engaged in.
So that equals experience.
And now all of a sudden, and this, by the way, don't forget this either.
This was hers.
This was to be a coronation.
This wasn't supposed to be a contest.
That makes this even more insulting.
Who is this young whippersnapper out of Chicago nobody ever heard of?
One speech in 2004, 140 days in the Senate, clean and articulate, and all of a sudden Hillary is nothing but an old hag again, like all these women have been treated their lives.
You can understand how mad they are.
And they do feel like they've been victimized by this.
And she was playing that up last night by reminding them who they are, what they voted for, all that she's accomplished, and how shafted they have all been by this process.
Yeah, I guess I see that now.
I guess I was.
She wasn't saying I'm sorry.
She wasn't saying I'm sorry for myself.
She also, in the beginning, she said, I'm a proud mother.
I'm a proud daughter.
I'm a proud Democrat.
She didn't say, I'm a proud wife.
Oh, how could she?
That would have been a laugh line.
Nobody would believe it.
That was funny.
But yeah, so anyway, I just want to put in my two cents and thanks so much for all you do.
You're more than welcome.
It's great to have you on the phone.
I'm still waiting for the surprise phone call.
You know, sometimes these conventions, they have surprise phone calls with a big video screen.
I'm still waiting for the surprise phone call from John Edwards from a bathroom in a hotel endorsing Obama.
We'll be right back after this, my friends.
Don't go away.
New York Times today, story by Jackie Calms.
Maybe it's Calmas.
For Obama, a challenge to clarify his message.
And I'm reading all these stories about Obama, and I honestly have not gotten the impression that this is a Barack Obama convention so far.
We've been through two nights of this convention, and I'll be damned if I have even gotten the message that this convention is about Obama.
He didn't have control over this convention.
This has been a convention about the Clintons.
I don't even remember who spoke Monday night.
This is how unmemorable this is.
This is last name was two.
Who were the big speakers on Monday night of the Democrat Convention?
Who were they?
Do you remember, Brian?
Snurdy, stop screening for me.
Who were the big speakers Monday night at the Democratic Convention?
I can't even remember.
On the opening night, oh, yeah, yeah, yo, yo.
See?
And Ted Kennedy is exactly right.
And even with Michelle, I just don't get the impression this is about Obama.
And now here comes the story.
A challenge to clarify his message.
Well, I know we've been running on, but that's the point.
I thought he's the Messiah.
We don't need a message.
I mean, he's this sweeping, transformational, post-racial, never-before-seen in American politics kind of guy.
The message is irrelevant.
It's his charisma and the power of his personality.
And I know all that's blown over, but I'm just, the Drive-bys do not get the irony of the absolute worthlessness of their reporting on this guy.
They had him built up as somebody that was not going to be held to the usual standards of American politics because he so transcended American politics.
And now he has a chance to clarify his message.
If you've got to clarify, it means it's muddled.
It means it hasn't gotten out.
And if the message hasn't gotten out of it, it's muddled.
And what has there been to so idolize and love about Obama?
For 18 months it's been all of a sudden now he's got to clarify his message.
We've been sold a bill of goods here, or the Democrats have.
And what is Obama's message on the economy besides tax increases?
What is it?
Well, in case you missed it, the Wall Street Journal has a story.
He's going to propose middle-class tax cuts in his speech tomorrow.
Just like the one you all got in the early 90s, right?
Remember Bill Clinton?
Yeah, I worked.
I haven't ever, ever worked as hard as I've worked on trying to get that middle-class tax cut.
But when I got in there and I saw how Bush had totally blown up this economy, the thing is worse than I even knew, folks.
We just cannot find a way for that middle-class tax cut.
Science, the dirty little secret is there have been so many middle-class tax cuts that there's not much to cut.
I'll tell you people this too.
If this guy gets his way, one thing that's going to go up, everybody's talking about, well, he's only going to take the top income tax rate back up to what Clinton had at 39.6%.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
He is going to end the ceiling on FICA taxes.
And certain people, you know, he thinks $250,000 is rich.
Certain people above $250,000, if Obama gets his way, you could see an effective combined federal tax rate of 55%.
By the time you add your federal income tax and Social Security and Medicare, you could be paying as high as 55 to 60%.
And you might probably not get any increased benefits.
Of course not, because the system's broke.
You're not going to get any increased benefits out of it.
It's going to be used to pay current retirees and so forth.
But think of stopping a 55 to 60% combined rate.
You'll never see it written anywhere, but you add it up, and that's what it'll be.
If he takes the ceiling away from the, I think right now, what is $102,000?
After you've earned $102,000, you don't pay anymore.
He wants to take that away.
Like, Medicare has no ceiling.
Medicare, your employer pays 1.5%.
You pay 1.5%.
Totally, you pay 3%.
And those of us who are self-employed, you don't even want to know.
Here's who's next.
This is Dawn in Athens, Georgia.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
This is a great honor.
Thank you very much.
I wanted to ask you, with this temple the Democrats have built for Obama's speech, are they in danger of going overboard as they did with the Wellstone Memorial?
I wondered what your thoughts were.
The Wellstone Memorial went overboard because of what happened there, not because of where it was.
It went overboard because of what was said there.
The Republicans' colleagues of Wellstone showed up and were booed out of the place.
The Democrats that spoke, that did not end up being a memorial to Wellstone.
It was a celebration of liberalism and socialism in Wellstone's name and a trashing of conservatives.
And it was a big plea for tax increases and so forth.
And it was arrogant.
The setting for this Greek temple, it's going to depend what's said there.
It's going to depend on the lighting.
It's going to depend on how this looks.
And by the way, I mentioned earlier, some people in the Obama campaign that wish they could not do this because this 75,000 people, and by the way, all of the general public's going to be up in the nosebleed seats.
If any protesters get in there, nobody will hear them or see them or what have you.
So, I mean, the Messiah and his delegates, high rollers, they're going to be the ones closest to him.
Except on stage, they're going to have some miners, some firemen, blue-collar type workers, probably with signs that say, I'm from Pennsylvania, some such thing.
No archangels yet.
I mean, we don't know what's going to come out of the sky.
And we don't know.
If they do halo lighting, I mean, they're going to have one of those sky cams.
It's going to be like they do at football games.
It's going to be zipping all over the place.
So it remains to be seen.
It could backfire, it's the bottom line, but we won't know till it happens.
Speaking, ladies and gentlemen, of backfiring and all that the convention and the hot water that this convention has found itself in, have you taken my advice?
Have you gone to foreverhotwater.com and looked at how the Renaissance tankless water heater looks?
Have you done it?
Even if you don't want to get one at some point until sometime down the road, you'll be fascinated to how this works.
But I guarantee if you go to foreverhotwater.com and look at how this works and how small it is compared to the tank that you've got now, and you look at how much money you will save in operating this thing, if your tank heater now is older than seven years old, it's a time bomb waiting to break down on you, crack, blow up, or what have you.
This really is the smart way to heat water in your house.
It's there when you turn it on, no matter how many sources of hot water you are using.
Showers, dishwashers, you know, if you're hosing down your computer, doesn't matter.
You will have hot water when you turn it on.
And this thing is amazing.
Show you how.
It'll save you money and how it works at foreverhotwater.com.
Bonita Springs, Florida.
This is Paul, and I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Excellent to outstanding sometimes.
Very well.
I wanted to take a quick minute and see what your thought was on a different take on Bill Clinton's XY analogy.
Most people, you know, have pretty much come to the conclusion that he's referring to Obama McCain, but I have a little different take on it, and that is, I don't think the Clintons have given up on Hillary for this year yet.
And since the roll call is today, I think that there was another subtle interpretation that could be made of who would you choose Hillary or Obama.
You think the XY comparison was Hillary and Obama?
His guy's the, but wait.
The problem is that both Hillary and Obama agree on everything.
And Clinton's analogy said, okay, Candidate X, and you believe everything Candid X says, but can't get anything of it done.
And you got Candidate Y, Candidate Y, you believe half of what Candidate Y says.
Do you think that there's a 50% difference in perception of policy of the Democratic delegates between Obama and Hillary?
I think Hillary wants to win this year.
And I think that if the Democrats were smart, I think the election's over.
I think Obama's finished.
And I also think it's going to be a landslide for McCain if Obama continues.
I think if they were smart in this roll call, they would go for Clinton and overturn the whole thing.
And I don't think the Clintons have given up.
I think there's a subtle message to the delegates.
Maybe so.
They may not have given up.
But if that happens tonight, if that happens tonight, I mean, I would love to see it, but I don't know.
Do you people really want Hillary to be the nominee after all of this?
Folks, we got to get out of here, but there's always tomorrow.
21 hours is not all that long a time, and we'll be back revved up, ready to do it all again.
Thanks for being with us today.
