Hey, folks, and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Those of you on hold, by the way, stay there.
We're going to get to you as quickly as I can in this hour.
I always appreciate your patience.
A telephone number, if you want to be on the program is 800-282-2882 and the email address Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I forgot to mention something in the previous hour about this show tonight at uh in Vesco Field at Mile High.
And everybody's been trying to figure out what the set is that they've built.
It's either a Greek temple or they're trying to replicate uh the surroundings of Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech.
Whatever it is.
I read something on uh at the American Thinker uh website today, and then I got I happened after reading it, I happened to see the best shot of this set that I have seen yet.
Apparently the Messiah, after leaving the convention last night, went over to Invesco Field to do sort of a walkthrough and to familiarize himself with the surroundings.
And I saw a video of that this morning.
Now let's keep in mind that the Democrats have all of Hollywood in the bag.
That means they've got theatrical experts, lighting experts, set experts, all these things.
People have been speculating that Obama is going to look dwarfed by the size of all of this tonight.
And the American Spectator article says, no, no, no, it's going to just the opposite.
He's going to look bigger than everything else you see on your TV tonight.
Because of where they're going to position him in relationship to that set and those columns.
He is going to look to dwarf them.
Not that they and that set is dwarfing him.
It's all about perspective.
And I'll I'll lay a 10 to one that the American Spectator article is uh is right about this.
Remember that Clintons had Harry Thomason, Linda Bloodworth Thomason.
Obama's got Geffen, he's got any number of people he could want to actually set this thing up.
People who know how to make things look artificial and unlike, you know, the eye can lie to you, the eye and your brain can lie to you about things.
So what do we have here?
We have a man going out for the so-called biggest speech of his life tonight, who needs his own version of a presidential seal instead of the American flag on his airplane.
An airline seat with president written on it.
He has 300 foreign policy advisors, and for his convention speech, a football stadium equipped with a movie set that looks like a Greek temple.
He claims to be the one that we've been waiting for.
He can lower the C's and promise and deliver universal love simply by showing up.
But Biden said last night, but if the universal love doesn't happen, I know that Obama will be tough.
We don't know any such thing.
You fool.
These are issues of judgment here in case of Obama, mixed up, confused judgments, judgments about himself.
Barack Obama has misoverestimated himself.
He got a one-point bounce so far in Rasmussen.
Pelosi's running around saying, Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry.
These polls are underestimated.
Nope.
The polls are overestimating Barama just uh Obama just as he is overestimating himself.
But all this should be no surprise.
The man led a fairly confused early life, ladies and gentlemen.
A father with four wives, multiple moves in and out of the country, heavy exposure to the Muslim faith as an impressionable boy, and American, anti-American values all around him when he's growing up.
It led him to a life of confused decisions.
Look at the people he formed close relationships with.
Frank Davis, member Communist Party USA, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Resgoe.
Even has respect for Calypso Louis Farrakhan.
The people he's hung around have big problems with this country.
They do not like it.
Barack Obama.
Giving him the benefit of the doubt is confused.
He's written two autobiographies by age 47, having not done diddly squat.
Except learn how to be a thug in Chicago.
He's written two autobiographies in an attempt to work through his circumstances and his judgments.
What has complicated his mental journey are his uh political ambitions.
His desire to hold high public office has required this confused man to lie about his sometimes bizarre judgments, such as supporting infanticide, to lie about his associations with well-known anti-Americans.
He has never demonstrated greatness.
Nor has he produced anything tangible.
He simply surrounds himself with the illusion of accomplishment.
And it is such an illusion that Michael Dukakis last night on Hannity and Combs, when asked to list achievements, stuttered.
It doesn't matter.
Well, he's a great state senator.
There is no resume there.
He hopes for greatness.
He wishes, and I don't know, might even pray for greatness.
Obama's thinkers have helped him create for him an image of success, because Obama does not have a track record of accomplishments, all he can rely on is an image of success.
Obama thinks accomplishment is a job title.
Look at what he has not done while a senator.
Carl Rove has a great piece today at the Weekly Standard, decimating every listed achievement of Obama's by Biden in his speech last night.
All of it, B.S. Not one thing that Biden credited Obama for doing did Obama do.
He can't even hold a simple committee meeting.
In his subcommittee chairmanship role.
These presidential trappings of Greek gods, or whatever the hell it is, is called wish fulfillment, ladies and gentlemen.
Delusions of grandeur.
These grandiose dreams for himself are presumptuous.
He has not earned nor accomplished anything that would entitle him to the August office of the presidency of the most powerful country on earth.
Running for president was poor judgment given the personal and professional life that he has had.
It's really, it's really quite remarkable.
He may be more screwed up than Bill Clinton.
Way down deep.
Barack Obama, a man who has lived the life of a wonderful fall.
White comedian, Paul Shanklin.
And a cover takeoff on old Sam Cook tune.
I'm debating here, ladies and gentlemen, whether I ought to apologize for my explosion of the previous hour.
I uh I okay, his head goes above the column.
Told you I so they're telling me that they saw the video that I saw it.
Obama's head goes above the columns, the angle that they've been shooting at any rate.
By the way, Brittany Spears set designer designed the set for Obama.
That is in the New York Post.
And McCain's got that in an ad.
I'm not joking.
I'm not I am not joking.
Hang on, I'll give you the guy's name.
His name is uh Bobby Allen, a Spears set vet.
It is in the New York Post.
This is this is just too rich.
McCain's already got this in an ad.
Brittany Spears, said designer, put this thing together, came up with it.
But you watch McCain Obama's gonna look just larger than this thing is tonight, the way they're gonna shoot this.
On purpose.
Now I've asked all the staff.
Did I did I go overboard in that I haven't lost it like that, I don't think ever, on this program.
I'm telling you, this I was blowing up at home last night.
A cat wasn't safe.
I had to close the door to the library.
I can't, I can't handle anymore.
I can't handle all its lies, lie, lie, lie, and then even listen to some of our own bloggers.
Talk about how effective it was.
So anyway, after I blew up, I got a note from the North Carolina mistress.
Now you might know that the North Carolina mistress went out on my recommendation and got a Renaissance water heater.
And she she was, she told me I was blown up too.
In fact, she this is exactly what she said to me.
I blew up just like you did.
I had to turn it off, and I said, I got a I got a kink in my neck from watching this.
As she went, she turned on her shower and she stood in the shower for twenty five minutes using hot water from a Renee Tankless Water Heater.
She told me that with her old tank heater, the water temperature would have gotten cooler after about 10 minutes, she'd had to turn the knob to make it hotter.
It stayed constantly the same temperature she wanted it from the moment she turned it on until she got out of the shop twenty-five minutes later.
And during that time, her husband, if he's so inclined, could have turned on the dishwasher.
The husband doesn't know she's the mistress, by the way.
No, I could I cannot lie.
The husband does know that she's the miss.
He's cool with it.
Anyway, uh so I thought I'd share the story with you.
Go to go to Foreverhotwater.com and see how this is possible.
How much money you buy?
She saved money taking a 25-minute shower versus what it would have cost her had she used an old-fashioned tank back after this.
Okay, we're back.
And as promised, we'll go to the phones.
People have uh been patiently waiting.
If you'd like to appear on the program, it's 800-282-2882.
This is Bob in Norwich, Connecticut.
Your next, sir, and welcome.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing, man?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, great.
I got a softball question for you.
Or maybe it's a horrible question.
After Slick Willie gave his speech last night and really massaged the whole crowd, and they all went crazy.
Do you think that Barack Obama can top that speech tonight?
Well, here's the thing about Clinton.
Clinton has what I think in the Democrat Party is a unique ability to synthesize things down to simplify them into two, three four-word slogans that he repeats over and over again that are lies, but that people rally around, they start repeating and so forth.
Obama's speeches up till now have been these soaring, verbose rhetorical displays.
Obama has not gotten specific.
Obama says nothing.
I think what this tonight is is an effort to recapture the magic of the Obama soaring rhetoric from way back when, but they keep telling us that Obama is going to get specific and uh still make the case for change here tonight.
It'll be a first for him.
But look at if they write it, he can do it.
I mean, the bottom line is if they write it and put on a prompter, he can do it.
Well, do you uh it wouldn't it be easier if you just came out and said ditto?
Well it's have you wondered why Obama showed up last night, by the way, after Biden finished.
Look at this Biden's night.
Biden and the family, they're supposed to be gone and then on the stage alone and so on.
All of a sudden, here's Mrs. Biden down there, and she's got that handheld, and I said, Whoa, now I I must tell you that I cheated.
I got a flash from a friend in Denver said Obama's backstage, he's coming out about five minutes.
And then when I saw Mrs. Biden with the with the handheld microphone, I said, Oh, must be true.
And then Biden, uh Obama comes out, Biden seems surprised, don't know if whether he was or not.
And I'm thinking, why is this happening?
The last time this happened, on the night before the convention, I think the last time, I could be wrong about this.
1984, San Francisco Democrats, Walter F. Mondel.
They had a camera in his hotel room.
He and the whole family sitting on sofas and chairs watching the TV.
Mondal's name goes in a nomination, they vote, he becomes a nominee.
Mondel stands up and says, family, okay, let's go over to Hall.
So the they they got in the limos, they went over to convention hall and they greeted the uh the delegates the night before he was to do his big acceptance speech.
I and it was way out of place, and it it was it was it it it was not traditional, so it was strange.
So Obama shows up last night.
There were two reasons, folks, that Obama showed up.
One, I kid you not on this.
Damage control, depending on what Bill Clinton might have done earlier in the convention.
The second reason he showed up, I think, was to justify the setting for tonight's speech.
I mean, that's basically what he did.
Explained to people why they chose Invesco Field at Mile High, because he wants as many people as possible to be part of the party.
And to be part of this change and to be part of what they're doing, because there'd been some criticism about this, and I think he felt the need to uh to respond to it a bit.
Here's D in Warwick, Rhode Island.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.
Um listening to you forever, but first time I've called.
I was just wondering when you were talking about that poor talk show host and what happened to him.
Do you have any concerns that this could possibly happen on your show?
I I can't imagine.
I would uh I would think they would just love to do something like that to you.
Oh, they try it here, but we don't have guests, so but they flood our phone like we think it's seminars call seminar callers here.
What what happened to that guy doesn't so much concern me.
Even if I even if I had Stanley Kurtz on the air.
You know, let them let them we got ways around these people.
That's not the concern.
The concern is the effort, the effort that was the Obama campaign to silence speech.
It was the Obama campaign intimidating and threatening a radio talk show host and trying to also threaten and intimidate a journalist and a man who works at a think tank named Stanley Kurtz.
They do not have the power of government behind them yet to do it, but if they ever get in power and redo the fairness doctrine, they won't have to threaten or intimidate.
They'll just have to lodge complaint after complaint after complaint on station after station after station, and finally, local managers will say, I can't put up with this, and the end of all controversial programming will take place.
Scary, scary stuff.
Oh, yeah, but they've made no Nancy Pelosi's all for this.
Uh a number of uh a number of Democrats say they can't wave, some have even advanced legislation to make it happen now.
Was it Maurice Henshey in uh in New York, I think was the author of a piece of legislation.
No, we're looking at this.
Uh we're keeping a sharp eye.
Oh, thanks, Rosh.
It was pleasure talking to you.
Same here, D. Appreciate your call.
This is Chris in Miami.
Great to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush Megan.
That was uh first time caller on the Rush Baby.
Uh very proud of that.
Um I've I've been looking at everything Democrats are doing between uh the arrest of the ABC reporter, uh Nancy Pelosi wanting to drill uh into people's brains and uh Obama's camp between the Stanley Kurtz and the commercial, and they're looking more and more like communist China.
Uh next thing you know, they're gonna want to uh censor radio and TV.
And then I thought, and I remembered the fairness doctrine, they're already trying to do that.
Well, you know, it it it sounds it sounds unbelievable in two thousand eight America, but you we have to take it seriously based on who Obama is and how he's acting now.
So it while it it sounds unbelievable as Orwellian, it couldn't happen.
We know damn well that there are people within the Obama campaign who would do just that, who would silence the opposition with snap of their fingers if they could.
Just it's not just China, I think it's just very Putnes-esque.
I certain I mean, I served four years in the military to to try and fight, you know, uh for all our freedoms, and uh that's not American at all what they're doing, so it's just downright scary.
Appreciate it, Chris.
Thanks for the call.
Really do appreciate that.
To staying in Florida to St. Augustine, this is Jeff.
Uh and by the way, you uh you live in a town that was named after St. Augustine who said that uh uh life begins at three months.
Obama believes it begins in the fourth trimester.
I uh well, I don't I don't know where to believe, but I just am so thankful that you're as angry as I am because you helped me vent, because my wife can't take it anymore.
I keep texting her and saying how angry I am.
And uh and and to have you explode just makes me feel good because it means that uh we're thinking together.
And uh I I you know, if I was the only one out here thinking how gullible American people are, I I think I would just I don't think that you know that's not what frustrates me.
I what what what frustrates me is the words themselves.
I mean, we can handle American people and the uh the Obama's not getting a big bounce out of this stuff.
The the you know, you can get mad at the drive by I did get mad at at the drive-by's, and even some on our side praising the effectiveness of the speech while admitting it was chock full of lies.
And I'm saying, look, what we don't need that kind of analysis here uh for our side.
We don't we don't need to keep hearing how brilliant the Democrats are at lying.
No, what's the antidote to it?
I but but look at what frustrates me is what they actually say.
It offends me.
I guess it it it's it it offends my intelligence.
Now remember, normally I laugh at this stuff, but I've been in a I've been in the worst two-day funk I've been in in ten years, and I don't know why.
I have no clue because there's no external event causing it.
So I went into this thing last night on a downer, and it just after a while, just the insult to my intelligence that's gone on for twenty-five or thirty years from this party or longer just got the best of me.
Hey, folks, you want to have a little fun tonight?
Uh if you I mean if it might be a little fun.
We used to suggest this when I hosted my television show.
Whenever uh Clinton press conference or State of the Union speech or something was coming up, we'd tell people to make signs.
Little little signs you could tape to the TV screen to remind you what you were watching.
So as to keep focused uh rather than be lulled by what you were hearing.
So with Obama speeching, speaking tonight.
If you want to have some fun, just prepare something that fits on your screen that you can read from where you're watching and put it on a lower fourth of the screen.
And it says something along the lines of this off the top of my head here, I don't know what I'm talking about.
I have no experience.
Make up one of your own to remind you.
And it will change the see.
You see how far away from the set the actual podium is going to be.
That that set, those columns, Obama is going to appear twice as large as that set tonight by design.
By the way, from the gateway pundit blog spot, bouncing off of today's economic growth figure, GDP figure of 3.3%.
We'll link to it.
There's a couple charts here.
But it's basically looking at the Clinton record.
And there are really two excellent graphs here that indicate there is no recession, obviously.
It indicates that unemployment, the unemployment rate in the Bush years is lower than in the Clinton years, and that the percentage of people in poverty during the Bush years has decreased.
There are not more people in poverty.
Census number bureaus, uh, census bureau numbers, there are not more people in poverty.
This was just one of the never-ending streams of lies that came out of both mouths last night.
There is no greater percentage of poverty in America today than there was during the Clinton years.
And ABC News, amazingly so.
Try this headline from ABC News.
Should Biden share the blame for foreclosure prices.
Experts, many Americans lost homes due to a bill championed by Joe Biden.
It's by Justin Rood at ABC News.
Experts say that hundreds of thousands of Americans may have lost their homes due to a bill championed by Senator Biden.
At least two studies have concluded that the United States foreclosure crisis was exacerbated by a 2005 law that overhauled the nation's bankruptcy law.
That conclusion is echoed by other experts, although the banking and credit industry disputes it.
Congressional Republicans drove the effort to pass the bankruptcy abuse prevention and consumer protection act of 2005.
But Biden, who has enjoyed hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the credit card industry, credit industry executives, endorsed the measure early on and worked to gather Democrat support for it.
Biden's early and vocal support was essential to the bill's passage, says Travis Plunkett of the Washington-based advocacy group, Consumer Federation, which opposed the measure.
Biden went out of his way to undermine criticism of the legislation, and his efforts helped convince other Democrats to support the bill.
Biden's Senate office did not provide any comment for this story at uh ABC.
The bill was blank backed by banks and credit card companies, uh, including MBNA, which is headquartered in Delaware, Biden's home state.
They wanted the bill because it would make it harder for Americans to use bankruptcy to avoid repaying credit card debt.
MBA execs had been Biden's single largest source of campaign donations, and MBNA has employed Biden's son Hunter as a company executive, a lobbyist, and a consultant.
Is this change?
This is standard every day of the week, Washington Democrat politics.
And so experts think that this led to a credit crisis in a number of other areas that led to the foreclosure crisis as well.
So once again, as typical, a Senate Democrat doing what's best for himself and his son at the behest of a huge donor, under the guise of helping the little guy, when in truth the exact opposite happened.
And is that not the rule of thumb for liberal policy ideas?
The unintended consequences of these brilliant ideas.
And remember, we're never supposed to criticize the results, folks.
Only we're supposed to, we're supposed to credit their big hearts.
They had great intentions.
Never supposed to examine the results.
But I mean, it's it's striking how many liberal programs designed to help the little guy end up blowing up in the little guy's face.
And who actually gets helped are the big donors.
By the way, this is another thing.
I I'm getting worn out with this notion of hearing these people talk about high education tuition.
And we're going to hear it tonight.
Why don't we ever hear, along with these complaints of high tuition?
Why don't we hear about big school or big university or big education like we hear about big oil or big retail?
Well, the simple fact of the matter is, all of you people listening to these Democrats talk about how they're going to make it more affordable for your kid to go to college.
I want to ask you, when's the last time tuition went down?
What are they doing about it?
They're not going to do anything about it.
They're blood brothers run these damn universities.
They are the citadels of liberalism, the citadels of indoctrination of your kids.
Of course they're going to make them rich.
Liberals scratching each other's backs.
Of course, Larry Summers, I mean, some of them go off beaten path and insult some women teachers, and of course the drive-by's and the other liberals have to, you know, throw one overboard now and then just to keep up appearances, but regardless.
No criticism of who's responsible for these tuitions.
And by the way, the last time I looked, these universities, people are giving them grants out the wazoo from the government to private donors, alumni, huge grants.
Does anybody give money to the oil company in addition to what they charge?
Universities get more money given to them for the athletic program, whatever, than any institution around other than charities.
In addition to what they charge.
When's the last time you saw some university hospital, for example, get some big grant by some lib donor gets his name on the front door?
And then tuition came down.
Doesn't happen.
The professors, the student assistants, and the administrators' salaries go up.
The automobile allowances go up.
Maybe I'd buy a new corporate plane for the universal to fly the chief around in.
Sorry about that.
Now I'm beating up my microphone.
Dave in uh Stevensville, Maryland.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, mega salutes to my commander.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks very much, sir.
Look, before I go to the Weatherman faction of the SDS, I'd like to say something about that Joe Biden, that little uh person that lives across from us in Delaware.
You know, the uh the guy to exploit his dead wife and child at a at a convention to further his self into politics.
Man, that's sick.
That is so sick.
Well, that's the story.
That's that's his family story.
That's what vice presidents do.
They go out and they tell family stories.
Well, it's different, like McCain talking about being tied up in the prison camp and all that.
But anyhow, back in the 60s, I was in the fire department of Washington, D.C., which I was proud to serve in, and there was a group called the uh S Student Democratic Society, and out of them came the weatherman faction of the FDS.
And these guys, for Obama to associate himself with someone like that, these guys were actually trying to name us ourselves, fire and police with different types of booby traps and stuff.
And uh they uh you know we went to class for those different things, and they was, you know, they the things that happen to us is that they throw those spikes and stuff out in the road, so the you know, the apparatus that have flat tires.
Well, now wait a minute, wait a minute here, Dave.
I don't know that this is true what you're saying, because I've heard Bill Ayers say that they never really wanted to kill anybody, even though three or four people did die with what he did.
I'm kidding.
Uh Dave, I want you to know I'm being sleepy.
I know you are, and and I and I appreciate it.
And matter of fact, I'll just listen to all these things you had on the radio for the it it was hilarious, all the stuff you had on it.
It's a shame you can't get it all on TV on your radio every day.
But these this guy was uh is associated with them, and uh man, what the hell are we coming to?
Yeah, he's uh he's he's he's associating with him and he's lying about it.
He's saying it just somebody lives in the neighborhood.
He's lying about it.
Now there's gotta be a reason.
He lied.
I'm convinced he lied when he said he never heard Jeremiah Wright say any of those things that we've all heard Jeremiah Wright say and by the way.
Speaking of our old buddy Jeremiah Wright, you just have to know, folks, is about October.
This country's gonna be saturated with Jeremiah Wright video and audio.
Oh, you know it'll resurface.
We've already got it on our calendar here.
Quick timeout.
Don't go away.
If this weren't so dangerous, it'd be funny.
Wasn't long ago, ladies and gentlemen.
Shortly after the Russians moved into Georgia.
The American left, and I can't recall who it was.
It might have just been some wacko bloggers.
I don't know if it came from somebody in the in the Obama campaign.
We're trying to find if somebody from the Obama campaign.
That's uh that's it was in an LA Times blog.
And we we want to find out if somebody Obama campaign ever said this too.
They blamed Republicans.
The American left blamed America's neocons, blamed Dick Cheney for provoking Russia to invade Georgia as the political campaign season getting a full swing.
The idea was to enhance and improve Republican electoral chances in November.
I am holding here in my nicotine stained fingers.
Formerly nicotine stained.
A story from the UK telegraph.
Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of provoking the Georgian war.
Putin accused the U.S. of provoking the war in Georgia to improve Republican prospects in November's presidential elections.
In comments designed to inflame tensions between the two countries.
Puty put told CNN, the suspicion arises that someone in the United States especially created this conflict with the aim of making the situation more tense and creating a competitive advantage for one of the candidates fighting for the post of U.S. president.
So once again, we have the American left, people close to the Obama campaign, mouthing the identical thoughts of a communist member to KGB, Vladimir Putin.
Whether they are echoing the lines of Amood Ahmadini Zad, or whether they are repeating the philosophies and threats of Eamon Al-Zawahiri or Osama bin Laden, the American left cannot avoid being placed on the same side as America's enemies.
Over and over again.
Never are they held account for it.
Now, we know how much the left in this country envies Russia.
They always have.
For some reason, they've loved it.
Last thing they wanted was for the Soviet Union to ever be defeated and disbanded.
So it'll be fascinating to see how long it takes for somebody in the Obama campaign to pick this up and to quote Putin as a source on the Republican Party.
And on Bush.
I think it's going to happen before the week is out.
Somebody in the Obama campaign, it'll happen on television, it'll happen on television in a newspaper somewhere.
Maybe not a direct association, but uh, you know, could this all have happened to help McCain?
Putin may have a point.
Because remember, Obama's initial reaction was to blame both Russia and Georgia.
A moral equivalence.
Rather than to take a stand with a Democrat ally, democratic ally of ours.
He's ought to blame them.
Here's uh John in Tallahassee, Florida.
John, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi.
Hey, welcome.
Uh, thank you.
Um I'm watching uh America's uh favorite um sociopath last night, our former president.
Yes.
And uh he's going on and on trying to perpetuate the the myth of the Clinton legend.
And uh I hear him talk about how uh people said that he was too young and unqualified to become president.
He was of course he was proved it.
But of course, exactly, but according to what he said, and look what happened then, or you know what the implication was that that was wrong.
Fact is the son of a gun was elected twice and never got a majority.
In fact, on his first election, he only got 42 percent.
So most people did agree that he was unqualified.
And he got you know, by virtue of the fact that he got 42 percent of votes.
I appreciate that, but he also demonstrated he's unqualified.
Oh, no question.
Look at the foreign policy disasters that occurred during those eight years of Bill Clinton, setting up nine-eleven.
But don't just give him that because uh don't give him credit for the economic policy, though, because that wasn't any of his doing either.
You know, he that the economic boom didn't kick in until his second term, and that was after he was dragged kicking streaming to the table to levy tax cuts.
So you know by a Republican Congress.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Welfare reform.
Well, Clinton's whole legacy, his whole presence of myth.
That's why today he's still in search of a legacy.
He sure is, and he was trying to seal it even further last night.
And Russia, share your angst, though, with watching and hearing what we've been watching and hearing, and uh haven't slept too well the last couple of nights either.
So looking forward to next week when we actually get to watch unless there's some quality folks that uh hopefully will take part in that convention.
If they televise it, they may all be in New Orleans hoping for destruction.
There you go.
Drive-by's might even try to never no, I won't go there.
We'll uh we'll we'll be back, uh John.
Thanks very much.
Appreciate the call.
Quick time out here, folks.
Come back right after this.
Okay, found three instances.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen of Democrats and drive-by media types blaming Cheney and Bush for Russia's invasion of Georgia.
One was in the LA Times blog by uh James Gerstensang.
Uh and then um Josh is it talking points memo?
No, outside the beltway.
Outside the Beltway blog, a couple of uh uh bloggers did U.S. provoked Georgia Russia conflict called Cheney went over to the Georgian embassy about a week before.
And then George Stephanopoulos on August 17th on ABC News, speculated that this might have been started by the Georgians provoked by us.
And so here comes Pooty Poot agreeing with the American drive-by media and fringe left bloggers.

I am assured that this is not a joke.
It's not been photoshopped.

There it is.
That's in Vesco Field in the uh high mile high in the background, the flatbed truck.
That picture's not stretched.
That that's not a 747.
