Is is that is that a wig?
I'd have never th no I'm not gonna tell you who doesn't matter.
But I'm I would have never thought it was a wig, but it looked like she moves her head, the wig doesn't care, hair doesn't keep up with her with with her head.
Oh well.
It's called glue.
Yeah, they were shouting NBC, NBC, and NBC.
And then Linda Lingle, the governor of Hawaii, was talking about Obama's uh contributions or his accomplishments to zero, and the crowd picked zero.
Zero.
Zero.
And I kept hoping they would go Zero Obama.
Zero Bob.
That's what I kept hoping it would morph to.
Greetings and uh welcome back, Rush Limbaugh Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Serving Humanity Simply is showing up.
The telephone number is 800-282-2882, the email address L Rushbaugh at EIB net.com.
Interesting post here at National Review Online by Catherine Jean Lopez.
She's in the um she's at out the at the convention.
She's at a tribute to Cindy McCain lunch and Elizabeth Hasselbeck from The View, who has said some very, very unkind things about your beloved host.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is MCing, the uh tribute to Cindy McCain lunch.
And Elizabeth Hasselbeck just announced to the attendees, unlike the wife of another political candidate who shall remain nameless.
Cindy McCain did not come to co-host the View with a list of topics we weren't allowed to touch.
Did you hear that?
Because we all know that Michelle Obama showed up on the view to help MC, and apparently she had a list of topics they weren't allowed to touch.
But Cindy McCain didn't when she showed up.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck telling the truth here, but your beloved host also talked about again at the Democrat convention this morning.
Good morning, America.
Diane Sawyer had this exchange with Cindy McCain.
When you hear Rush Limbaugh calling her a babe.
We're the ones that have the babe on the ticket.
She is.
She's lovely.
I think she's beautiful.
Cindy McCain agreeing with your beloved host.
She's a babe.
See, this is one of those obvious things you're a guest not supposed to mention.
Just not supposed to talk about it.
And then on PBS coverage of the Republican National Convention, speechwriter and historian Richard Norton Smith had this to say about the Sarah Palin speech.
This uh will be a huge hit among uh Rush Limbaugh uh Republicans.
It'd be fascinating to know if this plays as well among particularly independent voters out there who are watching this convention to find out not only what this party is against, well you heard a lot about that tonight, uh, but what they're for.
David Brooks of the New York Times, who earlier this week opened a column in the New York Times by declaring that I am not an idiot, then had this to say in response to that comment and a question from Jim Laura.
Do you think that they'll have some impact on people who were wavering one way or another?
I didn't think this was a Rush Limbaugh speech at all.
The one of the great lines I thought she had was being a mayor of this town is like being a community organizer with responsibilities.
That's not the Rush Limbaugh type of humor.
It's a much more personal, I'm just regular folks kind of humor than the biting belittling Rush Limbaugh type of humor.
There were no social issues as far as I could tell.
There was no character or no culture war issues.
She was tough and partisan in a political sense, but I didn't think she was tough in a culture sense, uh, the way Limbaugh is.
Biting, belittling humor from the New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks.
My humor is biting and belittling.
I and I'm not so sure he's right about there's no culture war.
I I I I think the culture war is probably back.
I think I think because of her speech last night, there is a vestige of the culture war that has been revived here.
Uh but I by the way, and I also this Richard Norton Smith.
Yeah, the question's gonna be will this speech appeal beyond just Republican base.
Last night, Charles Krauthammer said, This is gonna go way beyond the base.
Her appeal is way beyond the base.
Sarah Palin is Sarah Palin, she's who she is, and she's great.
She's unique because we don't see a woman like her in politics, but we see Sarah Palins all over the country.
There are Sarah Palins in every neighborhood.
And in every town in this country, with their families and taking care of their kids and so forth, and they're not rock stars, and they don't, you know, they're they're alternately called soccer moms or hockey moms or whatever, but I mean she's she's she's an ordinary woman who's done extraordinary things.
She I think relates to all kinds of American women and mothers.
And it inspires them too.
I don't think the Democrats still, they know they've been hit.
They know they got a lot to fear today.
But I still don't think they quite understand just how hard they have been hit.
Evidence for that is they don't know how to deal with this.
They don't know their traditional way of dealing with people like Sarah Palin is destroy them.
Clear the playing field with them.
They've tried that, and she fights back.
There they can't destroy people in the arena of ideas because they don't want to talk about ideas.
I think the next thing going to rely on is what Jonathan Alter mentioned, and that is the press is gonna try to just berate her and belittle her and ask her, you know, all kinds of esoteric questions.
Who is the third Marine Captain of the Fourth Battalion of the All-American Amazon Cavalry Battalion in Zurkistan.
Little stupid little questions like that.
Do you know what the Saharan subcontinent of the African subcontinent is, the Indian subcontinent, the pro-continent?
Do you little these guys are gonna try all these things and they're gonna be stunned at how much she knows and how much her experience has translated into knowledge.
They're good, they're just they're good you know, wait till they open every door in front.
It's look at I've said this is the best way to say it.
You put a bag of manure on the ground, and a Democrat will eventually find it and step in it.
And Sarah Palin?
That's a good question.
I wonder if she knows how many states there are.
Obama thinks he's 57 or 58, but he hadn't been to all of them.
But he might be he might be confusing his Muslim upbringing because there are 57, something or others.
Alaska will make 59, you know, so um we'll keep a sharp eye.
I I think I think uh she'll she'll be able to identify all of 58 or 59 states.
Sarah Palin last night, not only does she have more experience, she's a better speaker than Obama.
I've noticed a pattern with our opponent, and maybe you have too.
We've all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers, and there is much to like and admire about our opponents.
But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs, but not a single major law or even a reform, not even in the state sense.
But when the cloud of rhetoric is passed, when the roar of the crowd fades away, when the stadium lights go out, and those styrofoam greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot.
When that happens, what exactly is our opponent's plan?
What does he actually seek to accomplish after he's done turning back the waters and healing the planet?
And then she turned in the knife.
My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery.
This world of threats and dangers, it's not just a community, and it doesn't just need an organizer.
And though both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have been going on lately about how they're always, quote, fighting for you.
Let us face the matter squarely.
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you.
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you in places where winning means survival and defeat means death.
And that man is John McCain.
It's impossible to pick out the best parts of the speech.
I didn't want it to end.
That's the only thing I can the best description I can give you.
I did not want the speech to end.
I didn't want the night to end.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
All right.
Now, Joe Biden spent another day in Florida.
Uh, I guess this was yesterday.
The day before he was in West Palm Beach across the bridge.
Uh speaking of twelve, fifteen hundred people over there.
It might have been seventeen hundred.
I forget the uh forget the number.
But that was that was the appearance where he uh ripped into Social Security and said we're gonna we're gonna keep the word security in it.
We're not able to put the word private in it.
And the mayor of West Palm Beach Law's Franklin got up and said, ain't gonna be any more butterfly ballots with us in charge.
Well, the Democrats gave us both.
The Democrats gave us Social Security and they designed a butterfly ballot.
Woman's name was Teresa Lepore.
Now he was in Deerfield Beach yesterday.
Deerfield Beach is dangerously close.
It might be in the in the Bob Wexler district, Bob Wexler, Democrat Maryland.
Uh, and who uh represents uh a district here in Florida from Maryland uh via Washington, D.C. And his district is made up of uh elderly Jewish voters, uh many of them Holocaust survivors, and that is that is his uh focus with his with his local politics and many of his national uh comments as well.
So it's I just say that just to illustrate what next happened with Biden.
Biden went down there and he actually told a crowd at Deerfield Beach that they're gonna prosecute Bush.
If he and if he and Obama are elected, they're gonna press this is after this speech last night, during the speech or whatever, at this great convention, here comes Obama.
In fact, it was the first news dispatch I saw unrelated to the convention last night.
I was working on today's show.
Biden promises that Obama and he will sue and prosecute Bush for war crimes.
Now he says this down in Deerfield Beach where that crowd, and they write letters to the editor of the Palm Beach Post, uh, they hate Bush.
This is what that crowd wants to hear.
Perfect pandering.
Here is what Biden said during that campaign event.
If there has been a basis upon which you could pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued.
Not out of vengeance, not out of retribution, out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no one, no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law.
Now, they may want this to happen down in Bulka Deerfield Beach, uh Bob Wexler, a Democrat Maryland's district in Florida.
But this is what happens in Soviet countries where you go put your your former leaders in the gulag, you put them in jail.
This is Stalinist.
This is this is right out of the textbook of V. I. Lennon and Saul Olinsky, the first original community organizer in Chicago.
Okay, so we just heard Biden say it, right?
So this morning on Fox and Friends, Brian Kilmead says, I'd like to hear from you.
If you guys are elected, you and Senator Obama, you're actually gonna pursue criminal charges against President Bush's administration and different people that served there.
That's not true, and that may I know where that report's coming from.
Well, let's go back and listen to you, sir.
Yesterday in Deerfield Beach.
If there has been a basis upon which you could pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued.
Not out of vengeance, not out of retribution.
Out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no one, no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law.
Senator Biden, Fox Friends says today, you're gonna sue the president and his administration and other people in it?
That's not true, and that may that I don't know where that report's coming from.
Neil Kinnock is back.
And we've got the video tape of this too.
We got him on tape, pandering to these kooks in Florida, saying that they'll prosecute the president if it can be found that he committed a crime.
Well, isn't the question that they have not if he committed a crime, but how many?
To them he commits a crime by breathing.
Getting up every day.
I saw there was some drive-by media guy last night on I forget which it was, so I'm snipping around.
After this, after the Sarah Palin speech, and this guy said, Well, I'll tell you what, I think Joe Biden better bring his A game to that vice presidential debate.
And I said, Yeah, if he can steal one, if you can find one to steal or plagiarize, you're denying something.
I don't know what he's thinking.
Is he thinking that that comment's gonna be contained in Wexler's congressional district?
And he's not gonna get out anywhere.
Well, but for crying out there are cameras and microphones there.
How can he not know there are cameras and microphones there when he makes a statement?
I mean, well, but uh no, no, no, no.
Snerdley is arguing with me that the press will go so far as to not put out tape or something like that when Democrats say maybe maybe the case, but look.
That's still written to deny it when you know that people were recording it and that there were cameras there.
You you just you just you gotta ask.
I mean, if all of if this kind of behavior disqualified him in 1988 and didn't get him but what, one percent of the vote in Iowa this year.
What's it changed here to make him now qualified to be vice president and the quote-unquote heartbeat away.
Now, today on CNN, co-host John Roberts talking to Biden.
So your office has had contact with a lobbying firm of which your son is a member, your son Hunter.
I want to ask you, has he ever lobbied you directly?
I can look you right straight in the eye and guarantee you my son has never, ever, ever lobbied me.
I don't meet with lobbyists.
I don't meet with lobbyists.
And that's that's been it started off as an accident because early on in my career I didn't have time to do it, and I've just never done it.
My staff does.
Oh!
Staff does it!
But he's never met with a lobbyist.
This is the guy who just denied saying that Obama and he will prosecute Bush for war crimes.
Okay, so why is it Hunter ever met with you and Hunter ever have dinner at home, so we have to get off the train?
Uh and uh do you do you have any interest in your in your son Hunter having a good job?
I mean, a lot of fathers put whatever pull they can to help their sons get gigged.
You've never done that.
I can look you right straight in the eye, guarantee you my son is never, ever, ever lobbied.
Well, did he leave little stickers around the house saying, Dad, I really would like to work for a hedge funder?
You ever do anything like that?
You know, when I wanted my first car at 16, I cut out pictures of Ford Mustang, I'd tape them all over the house where I knew my father went.
But I never really lobbied him for the car.
I didn't have the guts to go say, Dad, will you buy me a car?
I just dropped little hints.
And he knew what I wanted.
I didn't get the car, I had to buy my own at some point, which was a good thing, not complaining.
Okay, I didn't call I didn't know to I didn't know you could call a community organizer to get a car.
That's the thing back then.
This was 19, we're talking 19, what I was 16, 1967.
And there weren't any community organizers in my little town.
I don't think they're community organizers there now.
And if they are, they're working under cover of darkness because nobody knows what they're doing or where they are.
Okay, so Biden's never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever met with lobbyists, never has done it.
Didn't have time at first.
Uh December 2007, the Brody file, Christian broadcast network, Joe Biden on lobbyists.
Lobbyists aren't bad people.
Special interest group are not bad people.
People who accept the money from them aren't bad people, but it's human nature.
You go out, Lynn and bundled 250,000 for me, all legal, and then you call me after I'm elected and say, Joe, I'd like to come and talk to you about something.
You didn't buy me, but it's human nature.
You helped me.
I'm gonna say, sure, Lynn, come on in.
Just like, by the way, if I turn around and I'm elected president of the United States of America, and you call me and say, Joe, I want to come and see you.
I'm gonna see you.
You helped me.
Well, wait a minute.
I I thought he said it'd meet with lobbyists and special interests.
Well, who is Lynn?
I don't even know who Lynn is.
This is uh this is uh Christian Broadcast Network entered from 2007.
But this morning, he said, never, ever, ever.
I look at you straight me, I guarantee you my son's never ever, ever lobbying.
I don't meet lobbyists.
I don't meet with lobbyists.
It started off as an ad.
And just last December, he's describing how he meets with lobbyists.
This is this is gonna be so much fun, folks.
I mean it's I can't wait for Mr. Jim.
Look at this.
You see what Sarah Palin did.
Look at this.
The Reverend Zax being treated at a Chicago hospital after experiencing severe stomach pains.
This woman is just sucking them in the stomach even when they're not there.
The Reverend Zax tells the Associated Press he's feeling much better after being at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which is uh near a community overnight.
He says that doctors have told him he has a viral gastro has viral gastroenteritis, but they're conducting more tests.
Remember, he went to the desert and fasted for 10 days to find out why he said publicly wanted to denot Obama.
You gotta be you've got to be relatively young to pull that off.
Here's uh is it Sophia or Sophia?
It's from Perry Hall, Maryland.
Welcome to the program.
Hi, this is Sophia from Perry Hall.
Yes, hi, Sophia.
This is state by the way Bob Lexer lives while he represents Florida.
Well, let me tell you, I am vividly going to push the lever for John McCain.
This morning I have homemade stickers all over my car.
I am so excited for Sarah.
She threw down the gauntlet.
She's telling Nancy Pelosi, she's telling Sally Quinn, and she's telling Maureen Dowd, ladies, I'm here to do a job.
I'm not here to pick you ladies out for bridesmaids.
And I am excited.
Good.
I am having I can't tell you how excited I am to hear this enthusiasm from all of you.
You really she's really illustrating what uh lightweights, people like Pelosi are, and uh and even Hillary.
Hillary playing the victim card all over the place.
And I mean, look at what Hillary you know what Hillary's big selling point was during a during her campaign.
I have fought for 35 years for children's health care, and they still don't have it.
Her qualification wasn't she fought.
Sarah Paler was governor, mayor two, three years.
Look at what all got done.
A gas pipeline, all kinds of things.
I fought for 35 years.
I've been fighting for 35 years.
And for all 35 years been complaining that the things she's fighting for haven't been done because there's always a Republican standing in her way.
Ralph in New York.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hey, Rush, thanks for taking my call.
I was trying to get you all summer.
I want to tell you congratulations on your 20th year at the EIB network, and may you have a hundred more, bro.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Um, listen, last night, oh and mega mega labor day ditto from your favorite foreign correspondent behind enemy liberal lines in New York City.
Last night, I was so excited when Sarah Pollen was talking and giving her speech.
My landlord knocked on my door.
He thought I was watching the Yankee game because the Yankees beat up on the Tampa Bay Devil Raids last night.
And I was screaming, yeah, yeah.
And he goes, Yo, the Yankees are doing good.
I said, No, I'm watching the lady for vice president that John McCain picked.
He's like, You're yelling that loud for politics?
I'm like, yeah, I'm fed up and excited.
But more than anything, Rush, what what I saw last night, because when when when when you take away all the arguments and and all the issues and everything, when you slip it all down, what I seen was two mature adults that want to run the country.
And when I look at these Democrats, I'm 41 years old.
When I look at Joe Biden, he's 30 years older than me, 20-something years older than me.
I see children trying to act like men.
That's literally what I see.
And and and you know, it makes me sick sometimes.
It really does.
Well, that's an interesting observation.
I I I have always looked at Obama as a man child, you know, and a feat man child.
And and Biden, I've never quite qualified him that one.
I've never gotten that far.
There are other things that distract me about Senator uh Senator Biden.
But you were you were making enough noise that your landlord thought you were cheering for the Yankees.
By the way, it's not the Tampa Bay devil raise.
They determined it that became in a politically incorrect.
So it's just a Tampa Bay rays.
I know to a Yankee fan they might be the devil raised, but there's a correct name is the raise.
But I got a note.
I got a note from a friend of mine I cannot identify, said that there was cheering.
He could hear in his house people cheering outside in his neighborhood during the Sarah Palin speech.
I live someplace where the windows are open, I guess, but that's...
I could never hear people cheering outside my house.
I don't live near enough anybody to be close enough of them with my hearing to be able to hear that.
But he swore that he heard people cheering outside his house during the speech.
Let's listen a little bit of Rudy, because Rudy was on fire last night doing the doing the keynote address.
Let's just listen to a couple sound bites here at random.
He ran for the state legislature and he got elected.
And nearly 130 times he couldn't make a decision.
He couldn't figure out whether to vote yes or no.
It was too tough.
He voted.
He voted present.
I didn't know about this vote present when I was mayor of New York City.
Sarah Palin didn't have this vote present when she was mayor or governor.
You don't get present.
Doesn't work in an executive job.
For president of the United States, it's not good enough to be present.
And this is Rudy describing what Obama has led.
He is the least experienced candidate for president of the United States in at least the last 100 years.
Not a personal attack, a statement of fact.
Barack Obama has never led anything.
Nothing.
Nada.
Nada.
Nothing.
Not an keep in mind, Rudy's teleprompter got all screwed up last night, too.
Here he is defending Sarah Palin's experience.
She's already had more executive experience than the entire Democratic ticket combined.
She's been a mayor.
I love that.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry that Barack Obama feels that her hometown isn't cosmopolitan enough.
I'm sorry, Baron.
That it's not flashy enough.
Maybe they cling to religion there.
Well, first day.
She had more experience as an executive than Obama and Biden combined.
Ebs.
I mean, this we haven't seen this out of the Republican Party.
I don't know how long at a convict fighting back like this, just hammering these people.
Just turning their words back on them like this.
It was rah-rah all night long.
And then this.
How dare they question whether Sarah Palin has enough time to spend with her children and be vice president?
How dare they do that?
When did they ever ask a man that question?
When?
And the question could be asked: when did President Clinton have time to be president with all the women he had on the side?
Well, that was just sex rush.
That were just sex, and of course it didn't interrupt his ability to do his job.
Well, then why would Sarah Palin's relationships with her family cause the same problem?
But the double standard coming out of these liberals' mouths is a is a is a delight to uh to behold.
Anderson Cooper thought it it time to fire back her defend the Messiah on Rudy's charges that he had no experience.
Rudy Giuliani made a big point of saying factually Barack Obama has never led anything.
He has no executive experience.
I mean, you could argue he's done something.
I mean, he he's led a campaign with several thousand employees that did something that Rudy Giuliani was not able to do, which is win the nomination of his party.
Way to go, Anderson.
Way to go.
Way to not understand that Obama is running out of money, spending more money than he's taking in.
This is really who you want to pump up as your candidate for president that he has run a campaign.
Carry the water for him, Cooper Anderson.
I mean, just go just go ahead and just attach yourself to the hip.
Or whatever body part you find attractive, attach yourself to the hit and go there.
And just stay there and carry the water, do it whatever you need.
Make sure nothing happens to the little Messiah.
Make sure nothing, make sure no criticism of the Matthias is unanswered on CNN.
Gotta hear this.
Now, I I uh the sign from Mitt Romney here.
And of uh when I was watching reading drive-by reviews of the speeches last night, it's amazing.
The drive-by's just hated Romney.
Just hated Romney's speech.
I mean they were belittling it.
Just throwing it away is just an absolute waste of what was he doing there?
That was just horrible.
Let me give you one example why they hated it.
Number 34.
I forgot to tell you, sound by number 34.
Three, two, one.
Is the Supreme Court decision liberal or conservative that awards guantanamo terrorists with constitutional rights?
It's liberal.
Is a government, liberal or conservative, that puts the interests of the teachers' union ahead of the needs of our children.
It's liberal.
Is it Congress, liberal or conservative, that stops nuclear power plants and offshore drilling, making us more and more dependent on Middle Eastern tyrants?
It's liberal.
Is government spending putting aside inflation?
Liberal or conservative, if it doubles since 1980.
It's liberal.
We need change, all right.
Change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington.
That's that was all last night.
I mean, the liberals are getting bashed every which way from Sunday, and that is why the drive-by's did not like Romney.
We'll take a break.
We'll be back and continue some more of your phone calls coming right up.
Back to the phones we go.
Ill Rushball with uh Andy in San Francisco.
Andy, thank you for the call, sir.
Rush, thank you, man.
Hey, I don't know if you caught Sam Donaldson last night.
I was amazed at how incensed he was that Sarah Paulin got past him and all his cronies in the vetting process.
At the end of the day, you got done listening to Sam Donaldson.
You would have thought the only way somebody could become a VP or a president in our country is if they went on some Sunday program on one of the drive-bys.
That's what they all think.
That's what they that's what they all think, Andy.
Eleanor Clifford, whatever, the uh McLaughlin says, Well, I I I I don't know how this I've nobody in my newsroom knows this woman.
I've never been to lunch with her.
How could she be a nominee?
I was listening to Sam.
It was the funniest thing.
He could only be semi-biased for about five minutes.
Then he'd get animated and he'd have to say something patrollic, and then it was like, oh, fine, I've been able to release.
And then he'd be semi-biased for a little bit, and then he'd get all animated, and you have to say something mean again.
These guys just cannot cover themselves up for what they really are.
Just unjust very biased idiots.
Bithering idiots.
It's gonna be unbiased.
They're openly now advertising their agenda.
I mean, they've always been idiots.
What's really bothering you about them is their arrogance, their arrogance and their sense of self-importance and their sense that if uh the the country can only survive if they approve everybody who wants to lead it.
And they don't have any idea like you, what we're reacting to it.
They have no idea how offensive that is.
Because the American people say, Who the hell are you people?
Who are you to decide who our candidates are gonna be?
Who are you to decide who we're gonna willow?
Who are you?
You're just a bunch of liberals.
And you have a view of this country doesn't reflect uh the view of the majority of people.
Who the hell are you people?
That's the reaction that they're getting, and that's the Reaction that you uh that you had uh to Sam Donaldson.
I didn't know Sam Donaldson was still doing this stuff.
I haven't I I don't watch the networks.
I can't handle it.
Uh I know they bring it, I guess, on a consultant basis.
Haul him out that the uh the uh the Cokey Roberts comes in now and then too to uh back up the the uh the junior league that they've got over at ABC now.
Have you backed up your computer on Carbonite yet, folks?
Have you taken my advice?
You've heard the stories, you may it if it hadn't happened to you, it's gonna happen to you.
You've got all these pictures on your computer.
You've got all these important documents, whatever it is.
Especially if you're relatively new to a computer and you don't understand the need or the process for backing it up.
You don't back up your TV, you don't back up the dishwasher.
Why back up a computer?
Well, wait till your hard drive freezes on you, and you can't get any data off and gone are all your legal documents that you keep their important emails, pictures or what have gone.
It need not happen to you.
Carbonite has backed up over eleven billion files.
They've restored over 600 million files, that hundreds of millions of photos, contacts, financial records, other documents that would have otherwise been lost forever.
Get this number.
Every year, 43% of PC users lose irreplaceable files.
And it's gonna happen at some point or another, it's gonna happen to you.
If you're not taking a backup uh procedure now, start with Carbonite.
You can try it risk free carbonite.com.
You don't even need to give them a credit card.
Just use offer code rush, get a special offer, Carbonite.com, try it free today, because I guarantee you it'll happen to you.
It happens to everybody that uses a computer at some point.
And if you don't have a program to go dust the hard drive and get the data that's still there, but you don't even want to mess with that.
Just back it up online, restore it online like nothing ever happened.
Brent in Twin Oaks, Ohio.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.

Thank you, sir.
Um I just wanted to say that uh in the afterglow personal of uh Governor Palin's speech last night.
I haven't felt this way since 1980 and 1994.
And uh it just leads me to believe that this country is really blessed.
That uh we always come up with ordinary people that do extraordinary things.
The list is endless.
You're on that list of uh it's it's just amazing.
This is the future a lot of the Republican Party.
Uh when people talk about rush babies, Governor Palin's a Reagan baby.
And um uh you can just tell everything about her, her self-confidence, her delivery, uh, without being groomed for this job.
She was groomed for this job.
Because she's a natural.
Uh natural.
Just totally natural.
Authentic.
Yeah, and every issue that liberalism has forced upon this society since the 60s is coming to the forefront in this campaign.
And say Sarah Palin is representing what's right about this country.
Yeah, and I want to warn you about something.
You you make a good point.
They're the up till now.
They felt like this is in the bag.
Coronation.
Just a matter of time.
Now they're in a state of fear.
They know it isn't gonna be easy.
They're gonna get vicious.
This is what they always do.
They're going you you just be prepared to be offended royally at what Democrats say and do, and the drive-by is amplifying it and reporting it.
Because now they feel threatened.
And they can't beat this woman or John McCain on ideas.
They can only try to destroy them.
Mark my words.
It's gonna be tough out there.
We'll be back.
Same with this.
