Time Text
Greetings, my friends, and welcome back.
You're tuned to the most listened to radio talk show in America.
A Rush Limbaugh program hosted by me.
The all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling Maha Rushi.
America's truth detector, America's Doctor of Democracy.
America's real anchor man.
800-282-2882 is the uh email.
Uh it's a phone number, email address is L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
I really, and I think more and more here about uh about Sarah Palin.
You know, unlike unlike Hillary Clinton, she really has built her own political career.
She is more of an independent woman than Hillary Clinton ever was.
She has done this totally on her own.
Camille Pallia, a big Obamaite.
And as you know, I have tremendous respect for Camille Paglia.
Camille Paglia said that uh Sarah Palin's speech with McCain last week was the best by a woman in U.S. politics that she has ever heard.
Paulya said she was reeling that Palin just might become the first female U.S. president.
Now, Camille Paglia is one of the smart liberals, is one of the smart Democrats.
And I will guarantee you there are others in the drive-bys and in the Democrat Party who see the same thing that Camille Paglia sees, but they have got to try to destroy Sarah Palin to make sure that this doesn't happen.
This is this is uh just and Obama's bounce max six points in one poll.
Max six points?
Wait a little wait till Palin speaks tomorrow night in uh in St. Paul at the Republican convention.
And you know, for all this talk.
Well, that's startling is reminding me that uh I was dead on right.
I pr I predicted to you people.
In fact, I'll take a little funny story.
We are watching our own hurricane breathlessly here.
Hurricane Hannah, as it uh we keep watching them move it further and further west towards us.
And uh as a category one now, at least they had it earlier as uh gonna be a category two.
And I don't want to give you all the meteorology that I have been studying even during commercial breaks in this program.
I've been watching this.
There's the I've been watching the water vapor loop on the satellite, and there's so much dry air above this thing, it's really exposing the uh the center of circulation.
There's nowhere for it to go right now.
It's supposed to have turned northwest long ago, and had that happened, it would have creamed you people in Savannah.
But it's still going southwest.
It should have been northwest a long time ago.
They say it's still going to turn northwest, but when it finally does, when that ridge finally gets out of the way, we might be bullseye.
We might be bullseye here.
So we're keeping, we're keeping a sharp eye on that.
It's a category one, uh, as according to the two o'clock, uh, two o'clock update.
And I um I I told these guys at the two o'clock break.
I said, look, I watched, I took a look at the latest track.
I took a look at the two p.m. advisory, and they're moving it further west.
Because they had all told me this morning, I don't we're not worried about Anna.
This is not gonna.
I said, they're moving it west.
And I said, I hope, I so hope I'm wrong, but I never am.
It makes me mad.
I would love, I would love to be wrong about this.
I was right last week when I told you that the drive-bys would pull out of St. Paul, would pull out of the Republican convention and get down to New Orleans as fast as their airplanes would take them.
And lo and behold, they did.
Republican convention now back on schedule.
And will the drive-bys be back in time to cover Sarah Palin's speech tomorrow night, or will they still be tracking hoped-for disaster stories uh throughout the state of Louisiana.
I mean, it was it was so it was, you know, aside from from whatever damage was done, it was laughable watching these guys on television yesterday.
Panting breathlessly.
You had wind causing the water to overlap the levees.
Not not surge.
There was there was no surge call.
It was just the wind.
There was one instance, I don't want to mention the reporter, I'm not out to embarrass.
Uh yes, I'm not, I don't want to embarrass anybody here, but they had they had video of some guy.
What we saw it was some guy uh being pulled by what looked like a rope to a Coast Guard ship.
And the reporter, he's had a rescue!
It's that a red go!
Oh my god, it's a rescue.
Well, the first rescue they it's a rescue with the okay, oh my god, what again?
It was a corps of engineer specialist who dove off the ship to go secure a roaming propane tank so that it wouldn't damage the levee.
So an act of bravery by a corps of engineer guy jumping into some turbulent waters to secure an errant propane tank was misreported for two hours as a rescue.
So it just it's just amazing to watch these people.
It's so utterly predictable.
So utterly, utterly predictable.
And it's it's they don't know what a joke they become.
I really I really don't think they do.
I don't think they have it in them to see themselves any other way as personal saviors of the planet.
Now, for all this talk, uh ladies and gentlemen about this being a man's world.
Take a look at the reaction of men to Sarah Palin.
And very positive, has it not?
You like Sarah Palin, you like the choice, Sterley?
Snerdley's one of the biggest sexists you could ever find.
And he has embraced Sarah Palin without a single question.
And he said it.
That is a woman.
She is a woman, not that.
She is a woman, but she is.
There's no question that she is the only voices against her, all these effeminate men on the left, as they're sitting there getting their manicures done.
Sitting there wallowing and whining and moaning, and they're just trying to impress the feminist women that run their lives.
It seems to me, folks, it seems to me like the liberals cannot handle a strong, attractive, independent, self-made lady.
They just they just can't, they can't stand it.
They can't because it puts the lie to everything they supposedly stand for.
Feminism is not about women, it's about liberalism.
Feminism is a mask.
Feminism, feminism is one of these many tentacles of liberalism that uses women to advance ultra-far-left radical ideas.
Palin represents everything a woman, the Libs used to say they wanted.
She has a family and a job.
She is self-made.
Her husband has a job, but is very much involved in the raising of the kids.
She trumps their propaganda with real life.
Sarah Palin has lived a real life.
No holes in the story.
Hundreds of people to vouch for her achievements, her accomplishments, her life.
Obama doesn't have that.
The only people Obama has to vouch for him are people he doesn't want speaking.
Bill Eyre is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, that wacko priest Flegger.
Half brothers, living in huts, Hut Sweet Hut, $12 a year.
She has lived an American life, conservative and all.
You know, we've um we've always said, ladies and gentlemen, that we will support the person based on his her views.
We love Thatcher.
We love Jean Kirkpatrick.
The liberals support the women they support because of identity politics and because of liberalism, not because they're women, and not because they have all these so-called characteristics of strong women that uh that they admire.
I think compared to Sarah Palin, I really think Barack Obama comes off as a small little man child.
Now imagine this.
You're 17 years old, your name's Levi, you're dating the the uh 17-year-old daughter of a governor of Alaska.
This governor of Alaska goes out three o'clock in the morning, shoots moose, brings a moose home, makes moose soup.
Moose stew.
In this seven, in this 17-year-old girl's mother's office is a bear skin and a giant Alaskan king crab That uh she captured.
And one day you announce that the girl you've been dating, the governor's daughter, is pregnant.
And one day you'll be dating.
A woman who shoots moose at three o'clock in the uh in the morning.
I'm trying to make it funny here.
I I think I think the family values of the Palin family extend.
I I just I just think this is funny to watch.
The um the drive-by's try to destroy this woman.
You know, just one big giant contradiction.
On the one hand, liberals in the drive-by applaud and weep over Biden taking time off from his big job as a senator be with his injured motherless kids.
But then they question whether Sarah Palin can care for her children.
And yet they're the champions of women.
It is all so convoluted.
You can it's hard to express it anymore.
It's hard to stay sane trying to explain liberalism.
The liberal media, I guess the idea they're putting forth is that uh a woman's place is not in the vice president's residence.
Andrea Mitchell and BC News, Washington, was on Meet the Press.
And uh she uh she said that, well, Sarah Palin will only appeal to uneducated women, not the educated women that would say vote for Hillary.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News.
That's what she said.
This is why they are their own, their own w they're just mean.
It's just plain, it's no more complicated than that.
They are just bitter and mean, and it's all gonna come back to bite them.
Only appeal to uneducated women.
In fact, uh, she said it's a strange Doris Kearns Goodwin uh said there's this very strange choice, showing how little she bothered to even think about the facts.
But it was Andrea Mitchell.
He said that only uneducated female voters will be drawn to Sarah Palin, not the smart educated ones.
A quick timeout will be back after this.
That that's you want a definition of elitism.
You just heard it from Andrea Mitchell.
NBC News.
I'm driving the audio's uh soundbite engineer just nuts today, changing my mind at every 30-second interval as to what we're gonna play.
Here's Kirsten in Houston.
Kirsten, great to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Mr. Limbaugh.
Hi.
Uh it's a pleasure to speak with you today, sir.
You what?
I it's a pleasure to speak with you.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Um, I did not know that you had such tremendous pull with the McCain campaign.
Because Mr. Carey uh mentioned on uh George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning that it was because of you that McCain did not pick Mitt Romney and or Tom Ridge or whoever else he was considering dirty little secret is that everybody knows this is true, that uh that that when I I uh strenuously objected to the choice of either Lieberman or Ridge because it would do just the opposite of what Palin has done here.
It would it would turn the base off McCain needs the base.
He doesn't need women's so much, the Hillary voters as he needs to rally the base, which this has done.
And I just I just explained passionately that that while Lieberman and Ridge are fine guys, they're not the right pick for Senator McCain because he's got the moderate wing of the party handled.
He's got he's got the attraction to disaffected Democrats handle the top of the ticket.
And uh the drive-by's wanted Lieberman a ridge because they want and the Democrats because they wanted a depressed Republican base.
If Lieberman a ridge are so damn good, why didn't they have Obama pick them?
I agree.
Well, I just thought it was so funny that John Kerry told everybody that it was your fault.
That McCain picked Sarah Palin.
Well, in this case, in this case, and it happens rarely, but in this case, John Kerry is right.
We have the audio sound bites.
Let's go to uh this week, George Stephanopoulos.
And let's see, uh, let me ask you another question.
Howard Wolfson, former Clinton communications director, said that this pick, Sarah Palin, might just work to draw women to the ticket.
Are you worried about that?
How stupid do they think the Clinton supporters are, for heaven's sakes?
Do they think Clinton supporters supported Hillary only because she was a woman?
John McCain wanted to choose uh Tom Ridge.
He wanted to choose Joe Lieberman.
He wanted to choose another candidate, but you know what?
Rush Limbaugh and the right wing vetoed it.
And John McCain was forced to come back and pick a sort of Cheney-esque social conservative who's going to satisfy the base.
What John McCain has proven with this choice is that John McCain is the prisoner of the right wing, not a maverick.
And what John Kerry has proven with this comment is that he remains an idiot and doesn't understand the basics of electoral politics at all.
And uh let's go to CNN's late edition, Wolf Blitzer talking to Chris Dodd, he of the scandal involving the uh countrywide home mortgage outfit.
Blitzer said, Fred Thompson, uh vice presidents who are running late for McCain, the Alaska governor, Governor Palin has more executive experience to the top of the Democrat ticket.
Fred Thompson says, uh, and even than Barack Obama.
John has made a choice here, but the suggestion how that somehow this is a a wise choice.
This is the choice of Dobson, Robertson, and Limbaugh.
This is a this is a real stop to the extreme conservative elements of the Republican Party.
John McCain's knees buckled uh because he was fearful of what the extreme right was going to say about this ticket.
That's what this comes down to.
He actually was a maverick in this pick.
He was a maverick in the in the shock and the surprise that uh that he managed to pull this off.
See, they're just they're just beside themselves.
They they they wanted somebody that uh that they knew he would lose with.
And uh by the way, uh the uh this this all started on Friday, lauding Sarah Palin as my pick.
World News Tonight correspondent David Wright reporting on my reaction to Palin as the VP nominee.
He says the McCain campaign hopes Palin can excite conservatives, given her lifelong support for gun rights and her uh opposition to abortion rights, and then the peace begins.
I think McCain has made a brilliant move, folks.
Rush Limbaugh, for one, was impressed.
She is a Maverick pick.
She is a total maverick.
We're the ones that have the babe on the ticket.
Anderson Cooper, 180.
He said this about Governor Palin as the Republican VP nominee.
This is causing a major stir, not all of it politically correct.
As Rush Limbaugh put it today, quote, we're the ones with the babe on our ticket.
And this is the Washington Post's Keith Richburg about Governor Sarah Palin's pick.
I can't see anybody who's a real Democrat uh who was voting for Hillary, switching over to vote for somebody who's pro-life, you know, anti-abortion.
Uh she's a, you know, she wants to teach creationism in school.
I mean, she was the choice for the far right.
Rush Limbaugh is going to go nuts saying this is the best most brilliant pick ever.
So, you know, I don't see anybody who would vote for Hillary in her agenda suddenly switching the vote for McCain, who because he put this person on the ticket.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Keith.
Keith, who was it that saved Mrs. Clinton's campaign and gave it a chance.
It was I, Keith.
It was Operation Chaos.
Had you taken the time to educate yourself as a genuine reporter, you would have learned that it was I, Keith who was extremely sensitive and sympathetic to the women who wanted to vote for Killer Hillary and how they were being disrespected by the Democrat Party hierarchy.
It was women who wanted Hillary who were being disrespected and ignored.
It was I L. Rushbow who stood up for them, who who who comforted them, who spoke to them on a daily basis, telling them I understand just how they felt that this had been going on their whole lives.
And I pointed out to him, Keith old Buddy Old Pal, that it wasn't me and conservatives who savaged Mrs. Clinton.
It was your own Democrat Party, Keith, even though you're a reporter of the Washington Post, we know you're a Democrat.
Don't hide behind his independent garbage.
We know you're Democrat.
You're going to vote Democrat.
It was the Democrats who savaged Mrs. Clinton.
It was Democrats who used Mrs. Clinton's voters and then threw them away.
It was I, L. Rushbow with Operation Chaos, who kept hope alive and energized the Clinton campaign.
Those Clinton Ladies that voted for her and are disappointed understand I was on their side.
I attempted to help them make their dream come true.
So if you think they're automatically going to reject Sarah Palin simply because I like her, you are not doing your job, Keith old buddy old pal.
By the way, I want to go back to this John Kerry comment.
I don't want to play it again.
But John can when John Kerry said that uh John McCain's crazy, Rush Limbaugh's crazy if they think that Hillary voters were voting for her because she's a woman.
Well, why else were they voting for her?
Her views and berries are identical.
The policies of Hillary and Obama were identical.
Uh Senator Kerry, they were specifically voting for Hillary because she is a woman.
The only difference between Hillary Clinton and Barry Obama is that she is a woman and that she is white.
He is a man, he is black.
That's the only difference.
I love it that these people don't get it.
This is what happens to you.
Let this be a life lesson.
This is what happens to you when you think you've got things in the bag when you can't lose, when you think your opponents are a bunch of doofus idiots.
This is exactly what happens to you.
They are making fools of themselves again, as uh they did during the Wellstone Memorial.
This is Lenny in Charleston, South Carolina.
Hi, Lenny, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
Hello.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
Great, sir.
Go ahead.
Yes, sir.
Um, I'd like to point out that uh um that that uh uh Obama uh mentioned the capital gains taxes, eliminating for small business.
But what he did what it is means is it means the same thing as Jimmy Carr said about uh lowering taxes.
He was ready to lose.
You see, if you eliminate uh uh capital gains tax of small business, it's essentially useless.
Because who has the money for capital investments?
The large business.
Um rename it the national hindrance tax, because the hindrance stifles, it absolutely destroys the economy.
And if you never talk to the presidents or any president, I would put that through.
And the other thing is push hard every day for freedom of talk radio.
Otherwise, it equates to the the same as book burning.
Okay.
Well said out there, Lenny.
Why that's so well said.
I don't need to add much to it, other than Obama doesn't know what he's talking about with capital gains.
Capital gains he looks at as a fairness issue like the income tax.
He says, Well, we'll we're only gonna raise capital gains on the rich.
Hey, Obama, how about all of the small business owners like Lenny here who file their 10 their their tax returns on their personal as a subchapter S on their personal 1040 form?
You you're you're you're you're look at this guy I that's why I say we cannot afford this guy.
We can't afford this guy any number of ways.
We can't afford Obama to back pocket, and we clearly can't afford his incompetence in national security, and we cannot afford what he and his buddies uh would like to see this country become.
Nick in Linden, California, why are welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hey, Mr. Limbaugh, I am 17 years old old, and I am a rush baby for 17 years.
Well, super duper.
Great to have you here, Lenny.
Rick, Nick, I'm sorry.
Nick.
Yeah.
Well, hey, I just like had a question for you.
Um first one is me and my dad sent you a gift not too long ago.
It's called Holy Drinking Water.
Did you get it?
Holy drinking.
I do not believe so.
But don't worry, my mail goes to fourteen different places, and sometimes it is it it takes a long time to get it to me.
Okay.
Well, the other thing that I had to say is that uh why is the media now dis more uh disrespectful and proving that they're more immature than a high school journalism class?
Because when they're going after a 17-year-old girl that's pregnant and trying to post that as a negative piece against her mother, doesn't that just completely disrespect like everything about personal privacy at everything?
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
Sarah Palin, presidential candidates have no privacy, their family has no privacy, they're suspects.
But Nick, this is about destroying the mother.
This is about destroying Sarah Palin.
This is uh the drive-by media, the Democrat Party are trying to ruin her life.
This is what the drive-bys do.
They run around wildly ruining people's lives, and then they after they do That they head on down the road to the next person who they want to destroy, the next issue they want to blow up and they do it.
I don't care how hypocritical they look, they don't care how um mean spirited they look, the end result is all that's important to them, and that's making sure their people win.
Here's Rosemary in Sunnyvale, California.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the program.
Rush, it's an honor.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes.
My slant on it is their outright guilt.
This media going after them, these professional women.
Today, where are they, you know, in in their lives?
Possibly they had abortions as teens as uh Governor Palin's daughter, or probably a baby was in a way to for them to carry on their career, further their career.
Or what about these women with the Down syndrome babies?
I think it's pure guilt that they're this beautiful family and Governor Palin and all her achievements is putting it in their face.
Well, now you might have a point about that to an extent, uh that the because this this this is uh whether I don't know whether it's guilt though.
I think what it is more it's uh there's certainly an element that's of guilt possible.
But I think what this is is resentment.
They resent this woman because she has a great American life and she's happy.
And she has she she is she's she's not taking the advice of all these women in the media, uh feminist leaders and and so forth.
Because we I don't we don't know how many uh the women you're talking about have had abortions when they were teenagers.
We don't I what that that's that's tough to speculate on uh or about, but uh I think what they see is resentment.
I think they were blindsided.
A real woman to them is somebody Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama who is a liberal.
This is really does it's no more complicated liberal versus conservative.
Yes, by the way, I think they make a beautiful um pair on the ticket in in how they look.
I think they carry each other beautifully, and I think that's envious of them.
She she does not make him um Senator McCain look old and feeble.
I think he carries they carry themselves well.
He's a man's man.
Yeah, uh, and she's a woman's woman and she's a babe.
I've she can wear skirts.
She got definable ankles.
She's high heels, and she had her baby four months ago.
Well, look at you know, I know that that comment may bother some of you, but I'm we're talking about why they're mad.
We're talking about writ don't forget undeniable truth of life number twenty-four, folks.
Written by me in 1987, feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.
And once again, here comes it's just it's almost like Obama all over, except this woman is young, Obama was young.
This woman's clean, articulate, looks good.
All the guys swoon.
And the Hillary babes are stuck at the secretary's desk again.
With no chance to move up and get promoted because somebody's always coming along.
It's this it's it's the it's the age it's so unfortunate.
It's so you know, uh I think a lot of militant feminists are trying to change basic human nature because they think nature was so unkind to them in the first place.
So there's a there's a lot rolled into this, but the it is clear one thing is unmistakable.
They hate Sarah Palin.
They hate her.
And if you want to be honest with yourself, and more than just politics involved as to why.
And that's all I'm telling you.
I'm sharing with you how they think, not I think.
Folks, don't doubt me.
Please whatever don't you should know by now.
Don't doubt me.
North Augusta, South Carolina, Becky, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hi, Russ.
Hi.
I want to say I I'm just I was talking to I can't remember who I was talking to earlier, but um, I'm from Alaska, born and raised.
And I'm uh I'm a proud Clinkin Indian from the Southeast area.
And uh when I heard that uh that the governor was being selected, and then the confirmation was confirmed, I just cried.
And let me tell you this from family back home.
Um all I can say is they're looking forward for Biden and um and Sarah to debate.
And I'll bet everybody knows her is waiting for that.
Well, let me tell you this much.
I just hope that Biden has an oversized cup because she will eat him up.
She doesn't he does not know what he is up against.
Yeah.
Well, you know, uh Biden's problem is going to be diarrhea of the mouth.
The guy cannot shut up, and he's not going to be able to avoid being condescending towards her.
No, she knows her stuff.
She knows exactly what she's talking about.
She relates.
She doesn't bull.
She doesn't have so many stories, and in between, like Biden does, she gets to the point so fast that the contrast will be spectacular.
There's uh there's no question about it.
By the way, folks, while the drive-bys have been out trying to wildly ruin Sarah Palin's life, a lot of other news is going on out there.
I would be remiss if I didn't pass it on to you.
A story from yesterday, Sun makes history.
The first spotless month in a century.
Drop in solar activity has potential effect for climate on Earth.
This is the first month in 100 years where there were no sunspots.
And by the way, let me give you a little uh paragraph from that story.
In the past 1,000 years, three previous such events, the Dalton, Maunder, and Sporer Minimums, have all led to rapid cooling.
One was large enough to be called a mini ice age.
For a society dependent on agriculture, cold is more damaging than heat.
The growing season shortens, yields drop, and the occurrence of crop destroying frosts increases.
Have you heard about this, folks?
I'm asking you.
Have you heard about the fact we had our first spotless sun in a month in 100 years?
How about the story from yesterday?
U.S. military returns control of Anbar province to the Iraqis.
Now you can find three stories in the New York Times today on Sarah Palin's family, but you won't find this one.
General Petraeus submitted report, uh report on troop cuts.
A top U.S. commander has given his military superiors and the Defense Secretary his initial recommendation on when to resume U.S. troop withdrawals and at what pace.
That story from August 30th.
You didn't hear about this story because the drive-bys were packing for New Orleans.
Hoping for disaster.
Did you see the story former Marine acquitted in Iraqi detainee deaths?
Did you see that?
You may not have, folks, because the drive-bys have been out trying to destroy Sarah Palin since Friday.
Second quarter growth revised significantly higher.
Expansion in U.S. GDP pegged at 3.3%.
We had this one for you on Friday.
Jobless claims is for the third week in a row.
The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell for the third week straight.
This reported on August 28th.
Did you hear about that along with the employment growth?
Russia under pressure has little world support.
National public radio.
Did you hear about this story?
That's from August 28th.
Have you also heard that Georgian citizens are now protesting Russia all over the country of Georgia in the Capitol, signs up all over the place.
Have you heard that?
No, because the drive-by is a preparing to destroy Sarah Palin and then go to New Orleans to report disaster.
Culture reservices in Soder City as violence falls in Iraq.
National Public Radio.
And I'm sure you heard that uh Michael Moore thinks that God has revealed his plan to Michael Moore since New Orleans was targeted for destruction.
This uh story to go back to late last week.
Michael Moore, along with who was it, Don Fowler.
You didn't hear about these two things?
Don Fowler, the former Democrat National Committee Chairman during Clinton was caught by a passenger on an airplane, Fowler and Jack Spratt from South Carolina flying back to uh South Carolina from Denver.
And Don Fowler said, Boy, that hurricane hadn't done that.
Proof God is on our side.
All right.
And it was some guy with a cell phone that had video capability, posted it on YouTube, Fowler said, no, no, no, no, I was being satirical.
I was making a joke about Jerry Falwell.
And he started, you know, criticizing these uh crude uh right wingers that start taping people.
And Michael Moore basically said the same thing that a hurricane's coming to destroy the U.S., God has revealed his plan.
Uh Randall Hoven at uh AmericanThinker.com asks a very good question to Michael Moore.
Hey, Michael.
If God revealed his plan to you to destroy the United States, then why in hell did Cuba get 150 mile an hour winds from Hurricane Gustav and New Orleans was basically spared.
Your precious health care paradise more, you bloated bigot.
Got a hundred and fifty mile an hour winds in a God-created hurricane.
Some audio sunbites to uh uh make sure we squeeze in here.
Here is Andrea Mitchell in BC News, Washington, explaining uh, in her view what the chances are of Hillary Clinton voters voting for Sarah Palin.
She is not appealing to the same women who were really voting or supporting Hillary Clinton on ideological issues.
But they think that they can peel off some of these working class women, not college educated, uh, who the blue-collar women who were voting for Hillary Clinton and may be more conservative on social causes.
So it's only the dumb blue-collar Hillary women that'll vote for Sarah Palin.
Not the educated women.
No, no, no, no, educated women.
They'll stick with they'll stick with Obama.
But Geraldine Ferraro would have to be said to be an educated woman, correct?
Uh, this was on NPR's All Things Considered on Saturday.
It is wonderful to see a woman on a national ticket.
May we ask her your supporting for president?
Sure, you can ask, but I have I have, you know, I'm like one of you people.
I'm sitting here uh working on my uh decision.
You know, I'm a Democrat, and uh I am a uh person who feels very, very strongly about issues that face in this country.
So when I go into the booth, I will make my decision.
She may vote for.
She educated a woman she might vote for the McCain Palin ticket.
She said as much, I think on CNN.
And here's Eleanor Clift, Sunday morning syndicated program, the McGulacwin Group.
Uh listen to this.
This is not a serious choice.
It makes it look like a made-for-tv movie.
And uh if the media reaction is anything, it's been literally laughter in many uh places across newsrooms in very very many newsrooms.
Uh Eleanor Clift is saying that that the reaction to Sarah Palin is well, laughter.
That means they're laughing in the newsrooms.
They're laughing in the newsrooms at her.
Good.
One, one female reporterette told a friend of mine who passed it on to me.
This almost this quote, I don't know who the female reporter was, she wasn't identified.
Well, this can't be.
She cannot be a serious cat.
I've not had lunch with her.
You doubt me when I tell you the inflated self-importance these people have of themselves.
But don't doubt me.
They uh they are the fourth branch of government.
And here's Eleanor Clift.
Oh, yeah, the left.
This is not a serious thing, it's like a TV movie.
I mean, the people in the newsrooms are laughing.
Well, we know that after the 04 elections, the New York Times actually got a visa from the state of Missouri to send a reporter out to get into the state of Missouri to find out how people live there.
Same thing in Kansas.
Had a reporter got a visa to go to Wyoming.
Uh, because it's almost like going to foreign countries for these women and people in the newsrooms in the East Coast laughing at Sarah Palin.
All right, folks, we're in the can.
Got to start all over tomorrow.
We'll do it.
Look forward to it then.
