Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right, 98.8% of the time.
Great to have you with us today, folks.
It's Friday.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And when we get to the phones, of course, the content of the program is all yours.
Monday through Thursday, this program is about what I care about.
But on Friday, I'll fake it if you bring up something that doesn't interest me.
I doubt that'll happen, but you never know.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address.com.
Hillary Clinton.
Her place has been taken by the other woman.
Again.
You imagine how Mrs. Clinton has to feel today, dissed by her own party.
On the eighty-eighth anniversary of women getting the right to vote and create the American welfare state.
Great to have you with us here, folks.
800 to 282-2882.
Guess where Obama and Biden started their campaign today.
Beaver, Pennsylvania.
Started their campaign today in Beaver, Pennsylvania, and they put out this statement.
Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience, a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Governor Palin shares McCain's commitment to overturning Roe versus Wade, the agenda of big oil, and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies.
That's not the change we need.
It's just more of the same, said Adrianne Marsh, Obama campaign spokeswoman.
They are floundering out there.
We may have wrested the women's vote away from the Democrats with this choice.
She is the governor of a state that has just 100,000 fewer citizens than the state of Delaware.
Delaware has 700 thumb out some thousand uh citizens.
Uh Alaska, 638,000, uh and some numbers, uh, some additional numbers than that.
She is an executive.
She has a story.
Foreign policy, no foreign policy experience.
That you know, I can't, I think I really I said this last hour, and I think, folks, this uh this is almost a rope-dope.
Because in Barack Obama, can we Charles Crowdhammer had a great piece yesterday?
I'm just gonna summarize it and uh and then put it in my own words.
He had a great piece yesterday on the fact that Barack Obama cannot tell his story.
He hasn't told his story other than the story of his family.
His Michelle Obama and two kids family.
But he doesn't tell anything of his achievements.
There aren't any.
He has nobody else speak of his achievements.
There aren't any.
All people do is speak of his qualifications.
And his number one qualification as offered in his speech last night was that he's from the party of FDR and JFK.
And that alone is supposed to solve everybody's problem with his lack of qualification.
Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, is more qualified to be president than Barack Obama.
Barack Obama doesn't have foreign policy experience either.
Somebody tell me what it is.
He has worked in the United States Senate for 143 days.
He has gone from community agitator to Unite the State Senator to U.S. Senator with no foreign policy experience, and McCain will trump Biden when it comes to foreign policy experience.
McCain's gonna trump Obama in all kinds of experience.
McCain has a story of heroism, integrity, and honor to tell.
He has countless thousands of people to vouch for him on it.
Sarah Palin has a great American story.
Tremendous American story.
You heard it in her acceptance speech this morning or this afternoon in uh in Dayton, Ohio, and we're cutting it up now.
We'll have some audio sound bites of that as well.
Not only does she have a great American story, a great American family.
She has a lot of people to vouch for that story, a lot of people to tell us who she is, about her character, about her dignity.
None of these things can be said about Obama.
There are no people who vouch for Barack Obama.
I haven't even heard any of his Harvard Law School buddies come out and say good things about Obama.
The only people that can vouch for Barack Obama are people he doesn't want us to know that he's knows very well and he doesn't want us to hear from.
William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, that that fruit cake priest, Flegger, and uh who else?
Uh the some of these other guys that uh that got him involved with his uh his cronies in the Chicago world of thug politics.
I mean, you talk about an empty suit and an empty resume.
You know, I got here today uh started doing show prep, and I turned on the TV, and I couldn't find there was there was no reporting on this big bang up speech last night.
I couldn't find it.
It was almost as though the speech was just a rumor.
And then they started reading some of the drive-by media reports on Obama's speech, and there blacks are criticizing him, civil rights coalition criticizing him, Tom Brokaw warning these Democrats don't get caught up in that crowd size last night.
It's not going to mean anything.
We put together a summary.
Uh rather the speech went 44 minutes, and I don't want to play all those sound bites.
I'm not going to play all those sound bites.
I'm feeling happy today.
I'm not going to revisit.
We've put together a highlight summary of Barack Obama's speech last night.
He actually said in his speech last night, he actually said, and you know, I the audience sort of looked a little stunned.
He said, I am my brother's keeper.
He actually said it.
His brother lives in a hut.
$12 a year.
His brother lives in a hut, a shack, a six by nine-foot hut outside Nairobi.
He is his brother's keeper.
He hasn't even sent his brother a hut suite hut style sign to put upside inside the hut.
If he sent his brother 20 bucks, he'd come close to doubling his annual income.
He is his brother's keeper.
Anyway, uh the the about all they have to say is that we're troubled by her lack of experience.
This is this is going to come back to bite them, and I'll tell you something else.
The Democrats are going to send out their liberal women.
They're going to send out the Madeline Albrights.
I welcome that, by the way.
They're going to send out their uh Jane Fondus.
They're going to send out uh all of their all of their women.
I'll bet you we don't hear much from Hillary.
And I'll bet you we don't hear none from Bill, except he's probably trying to get a number right now.
John O'Sullivan is a um veteran of many political experiences over many years.
He's edited National Review.
He uh very close to Lady Thatcher, and he put he points out that uh Lady Thatcher came to office as prime minister with very little foreign policy experience, but she surrounded herself with experts that um believed in her, that that that she trusted their instincts as as compared to her own.
Now, Joe Biden has foreign policy experience on the foreign relations committee, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
Thirty years, yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo, of being wrong on everything.
What good is experience if you're wrong on everything?
And that's what this is gonna boil down to.
Obama and Biden are simply wrong on, and it's been proven they were against the surge.
They were against Obama was against the whole thing in Iraq.
They've been wrong on everything that has been important.
Her foreign policy experiences, you know, that that's where character comes in.
It's where education, surrounding yourself with the right kind of advisors.
Cain can handle that.
This is that's that's a baseless charge.
They're gonna have they're gonna have a lot of problems going after this woman.
They really are.
Her son uh deploys to Iraq on September the 11th.
The upcoming September of the 11th.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, the drive-by media, very unhappy with this choice.
Want to replay for you, audio sunbite number one from CNN this morning, Ed Henry.
If John McCain really was a maverick, he would have gone with someone like Joe Lieberman.
That they had floated that trial balloon of Joe Lieberman and independent Democrat, uh, maybe Tom Ridge, a moderate Republican.
But as we all know, Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives warned that that would lead to the destruction of the Republican Party.
It would split the party at the Republican convention next week.
And in the end, John McCain went with a conservative.
So you're gonna hear the Democrats try to say, well, this is not really being a maverick that he, in their words, buckled to the right wing of his party.
Not a maverick.
This is a purely maverick pick.
Ed, who's got the woman on the ticket?
Ed, your party or McCain's party.
And Ned, you you you are a Democrat.
You guys need to stop hiding this stuff.
You're doing a better job keeping it under wraps than they are over at DNC TV, but we all know.
So they're mad at me.
They're mad at me because they think I forced McCain into a conservative pick.
They wanted a pro choicer on this ticket so that they could cream McCain.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want to um uh I I want to go over this experience business another way.
They say that the Libs are saying that Sarah Palin didn't have any experience.
Neither does Obama.
And I want to try to illustrate that.
Let's say that Obama and Sarah Palin got together.
What are some of the questions that Sarah Palin would have uh for governor or Senator Obama?
I can't think of anything he could teach her.
What, however, could she teach him?
So, Senator Obama's first question would be can you can you show me the proper and safe way to handle and fire a gun?
And are all NRA members as pretty as you are?
Second question, Obama to Sarah Palin, is hunting scary?
And when you go fishing, do you do you you you bait your own hooks?
I mean you could cut your finger doing that.
Do you do it yourself?
Next question, Obama to Sarah Palin.
When you found out your baby would be born with Down syndrome, did you consider killing it before or after the due date?
You mean you had the baby?
You really had the baby.
Uh, Mrs. Palin, do you do you worry that you're gonna be held responsible for your decisions?
Question number five, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Did you believe all that garbage that we've said about women at the Democrat convention?
Are you worried that breaking the glass ceiling will just make a big mess?
Question number six from Obama to Sarah Palin, is it fun or scary to ride a snowmobile?
Don't you get cold?
Question number seven, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Is it scary to live so close to the Russians?
Question number eight, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Your son's in the army.
Did you teach him how to shoot guns?
Question number nine, Obama to Sarah Palin.
Since you're a former sports broadcaster, if I bet on a football game, can I call you for advice?
Question number ten.
Obama to Sarah Palin.
Come on, tell me the truth.
Can we really drill for oil and not destroy the planet?
Al Gore says we're destroying the planet.
But your husband works in that business.
Can we really drill for oil and not destroy the planet?
Well, I don't know what Sarah Palin would ask Obama.
Well, she wouldn't want a sweetheart mortgage.
That's the thing.
How do how you Governor Obama?
Could you tell me how to get a sweetheart mortgage or maybe get some some some crook friend to sell me a you know a little strip of his land below market?
She wouldn't ask that question.
Obama did.
She might reference it in a debate if it comes up.
All right, to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
Dave in Fort Worth, Texas.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Hello.
Uh first of all, I'll say, wow.
Second of all, I'll say Sarah Palin did not even sound like she had anything written down.
That sounded like it came straight from the heart and the head.
And third, I haven't been that inspired by a woman since a young Elizabeth Dole.
Yeah, it's it's interesting.
I I uh I I didn't think about it in in terms of the last time I was inspired by uh by a woman, but everything else you said is correct.
I mean, she's uh she was well spoken, she was articulate.
Genuine.
You know, this is the thing.
I I I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but we got you know, our our women they they wear skirts.
She she went out there in a skirt today, and she had a a story that was genuine.
It wasn't about promises and platitudes, it was about achievements and qualifications.
The difference here Is just striking between the two ultra leftists that the uh the Democrats have put forward and Obama, really a radical leftist, uh, and the McCain Sarah Palin team.
John, in um Delin, Illinois, you're next on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Um after 18 months of telling us that Barack Obama is not experienced enough, uh, even though you know Barack Obama was a state senator here in Illinois for seven years and co-sponsored, I think, eight hundred and thirty pieces of legislation.
Yeah, and voted president a hundred and thirty-five times.
But I the thing I haven't heard you say yet with this pick by John McCain, and I really hope you can say it.
I want you to tell us all that you really believe that someone who has been the governor of Alaska for less than two years is prepared because she's a pretty member of the NRA and is anti-abortion to be the president of the United States if 73-year-old John McCain can't fulfill his duties.
Certainly.
I don't have any doubt about it.
Sarah Palin's been on my short list for a long time.
She is more qualified than Barack Obama.
Barack Obama's wrong about everything.
Let's talk about qualifications that have nothing to do with length of time or where you've been.
Obama is a far leftist who wants to change the foundation of this country.
Obama represents a dangerous future that contradicts the things that have made this country great.
She can surround herself with like-minded people who have experience.
The idea that he is more qualified on foreign policy than she is, he's been he's been in a U.S. Senate for 140 working days.
He has never chaired one committee, had one meeting of that subcommittee foreign policy committee that he chairs.
He has never held one meeting.
He has not done one thing to qualify himself to be president of the United States, other than acquire various offices.
But once he's gotten to these offices, he hasn't done anything with it.
The real the real insult here in this in this whole campaign is that Obama is qualified.
That's the insult.
And why?
In his own words, in his own words last night, he's qualified because he's a member of the party of FDR and JFK.
Notice he didn't mention Harry Truman because that would have inspired mushroom clouds.
But he's uh he's he's a member of the Democrat Party.
That qualifies him.
And he's been to 57 states.
That qualifies him.
And you got Joe Biden on the ticket who's been wrong about more foreign policy decisions than he's been right.
That qualifies him.
So, yeah, you guys up Creek here on this on this uh on this whole business of uh qualifications and experience if you really want to go there, and I hope you do, because I think it's a rope-dope issue.
Because what you're gonna end up with is not a comparison between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama in terms of experience.
You're going to end up with a comparison between John McCain and Barack Obama because it is McCain at the top of the ticket.
And you guys are going to run around, you're going to start talking about oh, well, he may not be able to fulfill the duties of his office.
We all know what you mean by that.
But we uh have gonna have excellent faith in Mrs. Palin.
You wait till these debates start, you wait till she gets out there in public.
She is going to impress.
She is already frightened.
I'm sure they they're they're they're in in in dire straits in the Obama campaign trying to figure out how to attack her.
And already, if you go to their left wing blogs, you will find some of the extreme kook fringe out there laughing at her hair and then totally unqualified.
Some of it is just is obscenely uh personal, filled with lies, and this kind of thing.
Uh this this is uh a woman who has a family.
By the way, the feminists ought to love this babe.
She's got a toddler, and she goes to work.
She has a little baby and she goes to work.
We know the feminists will not like her because she's uh pro-life.
She has her babies.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to hear just one soundbite from the Obama speech last night.
We I have a bunch of them here.
But it was just a laundry list of socialist issues.
It's just a laundry list of how you're going to be taxed more and more to pay for a whole bunch more stuff filled with absolutely stupid things, like getting rid of oil in ten years.
That's going to come as a shock to the oil markets.
How's he going to shut down the world oil market?
It's just it's in it's just it's just childish.
And he's even being criticized for this in the drive-by media in the print of wire guys, AP, they're having a field day with that speech last night.
And I will share some of that with you.
But you can't find any any discussion about it today.
It's all been Sarah Palin.
It's all been McCain.
And this is not the way this was supposed to happen.
This this was supposed to dominate all the way through the news cycle to the Sunday shows.
So this moved by by McCain today to keeping this secret, brilliantly conceived, flawlessly executed.
Just brilliant.
Just Just you know the McCain campaign.
I have to tell you the main McCain campaign will last what, six, seven weeks.
They've been a huge turnaround.
And you know what's you know what's responsible for it?
Conservatism.
McCain's been playing to the base.
And look what's happened to his poll numbers.
By the way, you know the drive-by is sad to say, but these drive-bys are just dying.
They're just in they can't wait for this hurricane Gustav to hit wherever it's gonna hit Louisiana.
He's almost sick to see them out there and they go, we really, this is so unbelievable.
This happened in three years, but it may hit again.
Sorry, don't mean to cheer.
Because they want this to illustrate the incompetence of Republicans again.
That's gonna backfire on them with Governor Gendal down there running things already.
You know, when you you put a conservative Republican in charge of a state reading a couple liberal Democrats like Negan and what what was her face?
The governor down there, you're gonna see the difference if this happens.
But while the drive-by's and the Democrats are keeping a sharp eye out on Hurricane Gustav, category three, Hurricane Sarah struck the Democrats today, made landfold today as a category ten, and global warming had nothing to do with it.
Now, this bite from the Obama speech last night.
A montage of the Messiah talking about himself.
None, this runs a minute 17 seconds, none of these eyes.
I I I uh not one of them is repeated.
I accept your nomination.
I thank you.
I am grateful.
I love you, I am so proud.
I stood before you that's why I stand here.
Tonight I say, I don't know about you.
I'm not ready to I quote Americans I know.
I don't believe, I just think I am standing here.
I see I think I listen, I remember I stood right here, I think I could I know I don't know I intend, I am I will stop, I will I will, I will, I will as president I will I'll help I'll make I'll invest.
Michelle and I, I'll recruit.
I will.
I want.
I've laid out.
I'll pay.
I will.
I'm ready.
I stood up.
I argued.
I will never hesitate.
I will only.
I will end.
I will rebuild.
I will.
I look forward.
I will not.
I love.
I know.
But I don't know.
I know.
I get it.
I realize that I believe.
I've seen it.
I've lived it.
I've seen it.
I make.
I've got news for you.
This election has never been about me.
It's about you.
Oh, this is going to be fun.
And now here is Sarah Palin earlier today listing.
And we've briefly put this together.
This is a shorter version of it.
But this is Sarah Palin and her accomplishments.
Obama cannot make a speech like this.
I was serving as the team mom and coaching some basketball on the side.
I got involved in the PTA and then was elected to the city council.
And then elected mayor of my hometown where my agenda was to stop wasteful spending and cut property taxes and put the people first.
I was then appointed ethics commissioner and chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
And when I found corruption there, I fought it.
it hard and I held the offenders to account along with fellow reformers in the great state of Alaska as governor I've stood up to the old politics as usual to the special interests to the lobbyists the big oil companies and the good old boy Network.
When oil and gas prices went up so dramatically, and the state revenues followed with that increase, I sent a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska.
And we are now we're now embarking on a 40 billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
She's doing I signed major ethics reforms, and I appointed both Democrats and independents to serve in my administration.
And I championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
In fact, I told Congress thanks, but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, I said we'd build it ourselves.
Sarah Palin, babies, guns, Jesus.
Hot damn.
Back to the phones.
Chuck in Oswego, New York.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program, open line Friday.
Great to have you here.
Rush, it's great to be here.
Now can I paraphrase uh Michelle Obama real quick?
For the first time in years, I am proud to be a Republican.
Very funny.
That's cool.
I love it, man.
And thank you, because you are in a great sense responsible for her being there because you paved the way for conservatism to become mainstream in this country.
Not just you, but the other uh people that are on the radio, the websites, everything.
You are partly responsible for this, and God bless you for uh Chuck.
Thank you very much.
It makes you very happy you say that.
Thank you so much.
All right, I'm just so excited about this.
I'll tell you.
I thought I saw a couple weeks ago.
I was so worried, you know, because my nickname for John McCain is the warm beer candidate.
And uh I was so worried that he was gonna go with uh, you know, a Tom Ridge or Mitt Rodney.
Let me tell you that governor.
Let me tell you what was going on with that.
Uh there are a lot of different factions in the McCain camp.
He made this decision himself.
But there are a lot of factions in that camp.
He means he's he surrounds himself with uh people like Lindsay Gramnesty.
And uh Gramnesty was the one pushing Lieberman.
Gramnesty thought that would be the bold pick.
Uh or ridge.
Uh the McCain camp does not really have any full-fledged right wingers in it.
There are people that are more conservative than they are moderate, but really right wingers, there aren't any there.
So whatever the message that was I I was told that McCain, if he if he really had if he was at a clear sailing, and he if he wasn't worried about any reaction, he wanted Lieberman.
That's what was put out.
Now I don't know if that's the Lindsey Graham faction putting that out, because all these people were leaking these different names in an attempt to put pressure on McCain to pick them to run trial balloons on them or what have you.
Well, the bottom line is when you when it came right down to it after Biden was chosen, you just you just knew, and especially if you tracked the McCain campaign the last six, seven weeks, if they they've done a 180 and and they're focusing on the base, they're focusing more on conservatism than they have, seen the poll numbers rise.
It just didn't make any sense, especially after the saddleback forum to put somebody pro-choice on the ticket.
I don't think it was ever something that was really that close to happening.
I really don't.
And I think it's probably true that if he could have, he would have.
But he's not that stupid.
He's just not that stupid.
Regardless of the process, regardless of how it came out, uh the the d the great choice here, absolutely fabulous decision was uh was made here.
And they kept it secret, and they brilliantly executed the whole the whole uh uh ceremony today, the whole appearance, knocking coverage of Obama's messianic descent from the heavens last night in Denver.
They just they obliterated it.
Obama's nowhere.
He and Biden are opening their campaign in Beaver, Pennsylvania.
On the day that McCain named Sarah Palin as vice presidential running mate.
And besides that, I don't know how few people were here in the first hour, but we decided to jip McCain's announcement ceremony today because it was uh historic.
What about had talk about historic?
We got history too on our side.
And uh, you know, you get worried when you start jipping things like this, joining in progress things like this, because there are commercial breaks.
This is a business.
And it's not just our commercial breaks, the local affiliates.
And you can if in dire straits emergency, you can blow them out, but you have to make them good at some point.
And that becomes a you know, it's an organizational problem and logistics problem.
So we were keeping our fingers crossed today that we could cover and gip the McCain Sarah Palin announcement ceremony and still hit our spot breaks.
And damned if it didn't if it didn't work, McCain hit the spot break at the bottom of the first hour perfectly.
The uh he didn't start the ceremony till after our first spot break in the first hour, and he got the announcement done in the second segment, and then Sarah Palin hit the spot break in the second half hour.
They they kept the format.
They hit the format like professionals, like the professionals I know that they are.
We are back, Rush Limbaugh serving humanity, and once again, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have behind the golden EIB microphone here on open line Friday.
All right, here's the uh let's see, who's n Mary in Las Vegas, your next on the uh EIB network.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Rush.
Uh, what a perfect ending to the Democrats Convention.
I just I am so excited about this woman.
She I jotted some things down as I listened to her speech.
She's smart.
She spoke from her heart.
She's compassionate.
Authentic.
She's attractive, not in a superficial Hollywood way.
She's just an attractive woman.
She's experienced, she's tough.
She was comfortable in front of the audience.
She was very easy to listen to.
I'm just like, I think McCain hit it out of the park with this, and I'm just so excited about it.
A lot of people are.
Uh, and I I think it's justified.
I I agree with you.
It's a great.
She's not shrill.
Right.
Uh she's not going to remind anybody of their ex-wife.
She's going to remind men, gee, I wish she was single.
Exactly.
You know, so it's good.
It's it's good uh all the way around.
I'm glad you called, thanks, Mary, very much.
Homer Alaska.
Where he can somebody from Homer, Alaska.
Uh, this is Martin Martin.
Great to have you on the program.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing today?
Fine, sir.
Great, sir.
Oh, I'm just uh I absolutely excited to be on the phone with you.
Um we are all so excited about Governor Palin being picked.
We are ecstatic.
I goosebumps.
Yeah, so are the Democrats, but not the way you I wonder I wonder if I wonder if Chris Matthews has a tingle going up his leg as he listened to.
He just might.
Sarah Palin.
But you know, yeah, she's done so many great things here, Rush.
So many great things.
Well, I know.
Which which one are you speaking of?
Well, um, just recently she uh she passed a uh uh a thing where you know how we get our dividends here every year?
Yeah.
Um yes, we know that.
Yeah, we uh the she added a uh twelve hundred dollar energy um bonus on there.
Because of the gas prices.
Oh, yeah, and our gas prices are way higher than anywhere down in the lower 48.
What do we pay?
What are you paying up there in Homer?
Uh it's four seventy-six a gallon.
Has it come down any in the last uh month or so?
It came down about ten cents.
Well, that's about you can find it for three fifty in certain parts of the uh the United States.
Oh, yeah.
No, and you know, there's so many people here they eat their homes with propane.
And that's the big one right there, because you're looking at uh for you know a hundred gallons, you know, you're looking at you know, four hundred almost five hundred dollars for a hundred gallons of most people are using over, you know, close to a thousand gallons of propane a year.
Well, she mentioned this.
I mean, she didn't mention numbers, but she mentioned this uh this bonus program in uh uh in her remarks with Senator McCamp.
It's great to hear from you, Martin.
Thank you uh very much.
Who's next?
Where are we gonna go next on the uh EIB network and open line Friday?
Fourteen-year-old Danielle in Seminole, Texas.
Hi, Danielle.
Hi, Mr. Limbaugh.
Um thanks for having me on the show.
It's my pleasure.
Glad that you're called.
Um, well, I was calling about something Hillary said uh during her speech at the Democratic Convention, and she mentioned a couple times that John McCain was your friend, but she never actually mentioned that she liked Barack Obama except that he should be president.
So you've got to wonder where her allegiance lies.
Where do you think her allegiance lies?
Well, I think she may have well, she has a really good speech writer, so you can't be quite sure whether she really does or does not um want Grock to be president because you've got to be sure that she's mad at him for not picking her as a VP.
Well, you you know I th I think the Clintons are patient people, but time is running out.
Right.
And that not nothing that happens with the Clintons is uh coincidence.
And the Clintons are the kind of people that'll hold grudges and take notes.
Yeah.
And while she make made it appear that it wasn't any big deal that she didn't get vetted, believe me it was, that she wasn't even considered for this.
This is this is this is something that is that she's boiling mad and she cannot be happy today, seeing what the Republicans did.
Especially since Governor Palin is now the vice is going to be the vice president for the Republicans.
So exactly.
Exactly.
Now, let me ask you one question, Danielle.
Yes.
You've correctly, I think, assessed Mrs. Clinton's view of Obama.
Given that Mrs. Clinton uh probably has further political aspirations.
Do you think that she even will vote for Obama?
I don't know.
I would probably say no, considering that he didn't even consider her for the vice presidency.
So I've got to say that she's probably got a really big grudge going there.
I not only that, the worst thing for Mrs. Clinton's further future political aspirations, Danielle, would be for Obama to win this.
Right.
So did you uh you're very smart and very informed for 14.
Well, thank you.
I listen to your show all the time.
My dad's had it on since I was like seven, and I'm homeschooled, so whenever you're on, I'm like, Dad, can you turn on Mr. Limbaugh?
So that's fabulous.
That makes me so happy to know that you're out there in the audience at a homeschool, you're a rush baby.
That makes me s excitedly happy.
Danielle, thank you for calling.
Thank you very much for having me.
Nice to talk to you too.
We'll be right back after this.
Stay with us.
I had a I had a fantasy.
I knew, folks, it wasn't gonna happen.
But I would have loved for this to happen.
When Sarah Palin finished her remarks today with Senator McCain, and they were about to leave the stage to greet the throng that was proud of their party for the first time in a long time.
I would have loved for Senator McCain to say, All right, Governor Palin and I are hitting the campaign trail now.
