Time Text
Greetings, my friends.
I am Rush Limbaugh, meeting and surpassing all audience expectations daily.
Your guiding light.
America's truth detector, a doctor of democracy, and the America's real anchor man.
Great to have you here.
Our telephone number is 800 282-2882, the email address, Lrushbo at EIBNet.com.
I want to go back and finish that conversation with uh with Marcia from Edwardsville, Illinois, because I I took her call uh with uh not enough time left and I misjudged and misread the clock.
So Marsha, thanks for holding on.
You were saying.
Oh, well, I was at first I was saying that it just seemed it was just an observation that a Barack Obama seems to uh as opposed to personify change, uh personifies the old Mike Dukakis with the fish stories again.
Right, there's nothing new about Obama.
There's literally it's nothing but a same old Democrat Party hack.
But uh basically I had heard that he was traveling to New York City to meet with Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton's offices, and uh thought it was kind of amusing considering the uh explosions that's going on with uh basically foot and mouth disease in his campaign and the poll numbers plummeting, and that Joe Biden is missing in action, or at least at least keeping a real low profile Joe Biden's not missing in action.
Joe Biden, let's let's Joe Biden was in Columbia yesterday, not you know, just two couple hours down the road from you.
Grab audio sound by 15, Mike.
This is what Biden said yesterday and Columbia, Missouri at a campaign event.
Uh uh Chuck Graham, State Senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Stand up for Chuck and he went over and said, Chuck, can you tell him new at this?
But what's amusing about all that is Obama doesn't want to be seen in the same room with the guy.
And he's his vice president.
And well, how do you know that?
Well, because they're not in the same room.
They're not campaigning together, they're not speaking together.
I mean, good grief.
He can't see McCain without seeing Palin, which is a good thing because I was a I was a lifetime Republican that was really having trouble with McCain until he selected Palin, I'm gonna be quite honest with you.
And I think you ru you uh reflect the sentiments of uh quite quite a few uh Republicans.
I mean Sarah Palin is a revelation both for the Republican Party in general in specific and for you know the entire electoral process.
And I think it's about time that the Republicans realize that you know, the women have been the foot soldiers of the Republican Party.
I mean, they've been I mean, yeah, oh yeah, they cook for the bake sales and they do this and that, but they keep things together for their men that have been in public office.
So I think it's about time that, you know, we were recognized, and I'm glad that we were, and glad that they picked someone who is so obviously qualified.
Oh, she let me tell you something, Marsha, she is so qualified.
Joe Biden is wetting his pants every time he thinks about having to debate her.
By the way, Biden's off the rails again today.
I I just got a note here from uh Jonah Goldberg at the National Review Online.
Uh I wish we I hope there's audio of this.
Where was Well Biden?
I don't know where he is today, but he said what I care about is what in God's name is she gonna do along with John McCain about the thousands of people who don't have health care.
He'll ask her about the super highway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where my helicopter was forced down.
I guess he's previewing what he's gonna ask her about in the debate.
Health care, the super highway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan, where my helicopter was forced down.
Joe Biden forced down on the superhighway of terror.
That is scary Batman.
The super highway of terror.
So Biden was shot at in the green zone, except he wasn't.
And now he's forced down in a helicopter on the super high weight of terror between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
And he's gonna ask Sarah Palin about it.
He's gonna demand what they're gonna do.
He knows where the gates of hell is Biden does.
He knows where old Biden about Osama is, and he knows it's in the superhighway of tower.
I hope we have the audio.
Well, no, no, he was no, that was that was uh that was uh Hillary that was under snipper fire.
Hillary Clinton was under snipper fire when she was over, except she wasn't under snipper fire.
Obama or Biden was not shot at.
And now he says he's been forced down in a helicopter in a super highway of terror.
He's gonna demand answers about that from Sarah Pale.
I knew this was gonna happen.
I knew play 15 again.
I mean, I I gotta hear this again.
Uh uh Chuck Graham, state senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
I mean, these guys sound like a comic duo.
It's Martin Lewis.
It's Abbott and Costello with all due apologies to Abbott and Costello.
Play it again.
He sounds like a comedian.
Uh uh, Chuck Graham, State Senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Stand up for Chuck.
Do it for Paul!
Do it for Paul, stand up for Chuck.
Chuck's in a wheelchair, folks, in case you don't.
And you have to see this too.
I mean, I've seen the video.
Oh, by the way.
Uh, sound by number 11 here.
This ad on YouTube has been pulled.
You know, they say the difference between a hockey mom in a pit bull?
Lipstick.
But you know, you can't.
You know, you you can put uh lipstick on a pig.
It's telepath.
One of the great lessons of that campaign is the continued and accepted role of sexism in American life.
YouTube has pulled that ad after a complaint of copyright violation from CBS for using Katie Courick, the perky one, uh, in the ad video of Katie Curry.
So they got the point across.
It was out there, and uh they they may pull it from YouTube, but they haven't asked us to cease and desist.
So uh we can still play it along with Audio Soundbite 15, Joe Biden.
Uh uh Chuck Graham, State Senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
We've added we've added the drum riff.
Los Angeles Times story is from yesterday.
It is by Peter Walston and Janet Hook.
Palin Bounce has Democrats off balance.
This story is about the Wall Street Journal poll released yesterday showing that McCain is now winning among white women 52 to 41% after having been statistically tied with Obama in that category just 30 days ago.
Representative Elijah Cummings, uh Obama Becker from Maryland, said whenever you see that kind of movement, you ought to be concerned.
You ought to try to address it.
David Bunyer, the Pitt Yorkey, former Michigan congressman who managed John Edwards' campaign, called the new poll findings a real concern.
He said we can't lose white women and expect to do well in this race.
One Democrat operative familiar with the campaigns of liberations, worried that the freshness, the newness, and the aura around Obama has been eclipsed.
The campaign has been knocked off strike.
Eclipsed, it's been pulverized.
The aura around Obama has been obliterated.
It uh it doesn't exist.
And his dirty little secret is it hasn't existed for months.
And they had plenty of time in this party to realize that and not nominate the guy.
But his aura, that aura that was present the first three months of this year, starting in April.
Bye bye, aura.
Bye-bye, all of these Halo images.
We're the ones, he's the one you've been waiting for.
All gone.
Back after this, folks.
Sit tight.
Uh uh, Chuck Graham, State Senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck.
Let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Ah, yes, that Joe Biden yesterday in Columbia, Missouri, ladies and gentlemen, at a uh at a campaign event.
Senator Barack Obama, New York Times today.
Senator Obama learned how hard it can be to solve America's public education problems when he headed a philanthropic drive in Chicago a decade ago that spent 150 million dollars on Chicago's troubled schools and barely made a dent.
Drawing on that experience.
This is this is this is this is like a comic script.
Drawing on that experience, Mr. Obama, the Democrat nominee for president, is campaigning on an ambitious plan that promises $18 billion a year in new federal spending on early childhood classes, teacher recruitment, performance pay, and dozens of other initiatives.
So they gave him 150 million to pour into the Chicago school system.
He barely made it then.
He decided that the lesson was we need to spend more.
Nothing happens with 150 million, so the answer is obviously we didn't have enough money.
We need 18 billion dollars now.
Barack Obama.
Here's uh Jenny in Denver, North Carolina.
Jen B. I didn't know there was a Denver, North Carolina.
How are you doing, Jenny?
Hi, Rush.
It's so great to talk to you.
Um yes, there is a Denver, North Carolina, right by Lake Norman.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Anyway, uh, here's my point that I if I if I could just go through a little few logical steps about Obama's lipstick thing.
What did you ever hear him say New Pennsylvania or the Nickelee Lions or 57 states?
Have you heard you've heard those?
Well, of course.
You know, your gatekeeper reference was actually really interesting because I didn't hear New Pennsylvania until I actually saw it on a kind of you know on a website.
But the media certainly isn't putting out those stories about 57 states, Nickel Lions, New Pennsylvania.
And then all of a sudden, here's Barack Obama using this American colloquialism lipstick on a pig, and we're supposed to believe that that's just a natural thing.
So either A, he had terrible judgment when his speech writers or his handlers gave him that line, or B, he's just lying through his teeth about, you know, not slamming Sarah Palin.
I think that uh, as I as I stated earlier, I think what you see in the lipstick on a pig comment is Obama trying to get tough.
This is Obama trying to get tough and respond.
He's mad.
He doesn't like being criticized, he's the Messiah.
Messiahs don't get criticized.
McGain McCain has the audacity to criticize Obama, and Obama don't know what to do with it.
They don't know how to deal with it.
You've got to remember people have been lying down in front of Obama as he walks by, uh, celebrating, paying him homage, uh, and this sort of thing.
And McCain and then Palin are just right in his face.
Exactly.
Hillary didn't get in his face.
You know, nobody got in his face on the Democrat side because everybody was afraid they're gonna be called a racist on the Democrat side if they went out there and attacked Obama.
So the Clintons had their surrogates out there saying things, and they had Clinton out there talking about uh various aspects of Obama's win, like in North Carolina, well, of course, Jesse Jackson won here too.
It was code language.
But the point is they didn't they the the Clintons were shopping all this stuff that they had on Obama to other people in the media to use so that they wouldn't.
And that's what you know, whole point of operation chaos was to make sure Obama got bloodied up, and he got bloodied up, and the moment people started bloodying him up politically is when the bloom came off the rose, is when the pig's lipstick melted, is when the aura of Obama ceased.
Because up until that time everybody was falling down and accepting this whole aura of Messiah thing, the anointed one and all that.
That's all gone.
And now McCain and Palin are in his face, he don't know what to do about it, because he cannot get tough about his issues.
How do you get tough about raising taxes, for example?
How do you get tough about the things he wants to do?
So his getting tough, he's responding as a petulant little man child who thinks he's being insulted.
And so i it it was uh with Sarah Palin telling us joke all over the place now about you know uh the Pittsbull and the lipstick.
There's no there's no question it's in his mind.
Whether he intended it as an insult and calling her a pig, it's not the point.
He's just intemperate, it was undisciplined, and it was childhood.
If if nothing else, it was terrible judgment on his part, then he can't even admit that.
Well, he won't even admit that.
The science don't admit fault.
What do you expect a little high?
You know, if I was a I'm not a psychiatrist at all, but if I were gonna just classify that guy, I would say he is a pathological, passive aggressive person who reaches out and throws these nasty little verbal fire bombs, and then he steps back and whines that he's the victim that somebody responded to it.
Perhaps.
You know, I'm not trained in that field other uh uh either.
All I know is this.
He has something in common with William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.
They were both abandoned by their daddies.
They both have, as it is known in the therapy business, abandonment issues.
And people who have abandonment issues generally end up being people like Bill Clinton that want to be loved by everybody, and if they're in a room with a hundred people, they'll find the one in that room that doesn't like them and zero in on them and try to persuade them.
I don't know, you know, w what similarities Obiden uh Obama might have uh to that, but it it's clear that that he's um he's pretty immature, your judgment comments right, and he doesn't understand getting smacked around uh like this.
It's it's just not you know, his his modus operandi has been to clear the playing field of any opponent, just get rid of him so there aren't any opponents to say anything about.
And his little statement today, it's enough's enough.
Well, we gotta get back and talk about the issue as the people think uh it was it was pathetic.
It was uh it was just pathetic.
He's the one that brought up the pig and a lipstick comment.
He's the one that he's acting now, he's run around blaming other people for talking about it.
So, sir, Jerry in Panama City, Florida, got to welcome you to the program.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Ross, how are you doing today, Rush?
Fine, thank you.
My my observation in all of this is I think that the the Democrat campaign is not nearly as witty as they think they are.
They're responding to actual wittiness and down homeness on the, if that's a word, on the Republican Party with Sarah Palin with uh lipstick on the the pit bull and uh mayor being like a community organizer, except we're responsibilities, and they're responding badly.
And now you know, they're not as witty as they think they are, they're not as smart as they think they are, and they're coming across across as mean and mean spirited.
And arrogant.
And you're exactly you're you're you're exactly right.
Uh you know, Sarah Palin is uh down home American, small town American.
She's proving that you don't have to come from an Eastern Ivy League university to lead the country or to lead a state.
Obama, you know, he doesn't he doesn't have a down home history.
He doesn't have things that will allow him to make jokes about himself.
That's you know, that's a key thing.
Uh Sarah Palin can laugh at herself, makes jokes that are self-deprecating.
Obama wouldn't deign to make fun of himself.
Well, he wouldn't do that.
Why, nobody else can make fun of him either.
Takes himself way too seriously.
All these East Coast Ivy League elites do.
And so they um, you know, that that's that's why it's called flyover country, because it's a foreign land to them.
The coasts, media centers and so forth is where they uh are most at home and most familiar.
This is Arlene in Hagerstown, Maryland, your next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
I was just calling to let you know that I turned on the WGAL news from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania about 1230.
Mm-hmm.
And they were showing on the screen, uh Obama stating that, making that statement regarding the pig and the lipstick.
But they also said and showed McCain making the very same statement in regards to Hillary Healthcare Plan.
Right.
So he said it first.
Now they're showing Obama saying the same thing.
I also heard it on another news station over the radio.
Right, I know.
And then it's up.
I've heard some of these liberal media types on cable whining.
How come nobody went at your McCain when he hillary?
How come nobody can well because Hillary had not told a joke about herself in lipstick?
Lipstick on a pig is an is actually it's a worn-out political cliche.
I mean, these politicians have been using this for I it longer than you and I have been alive.
And it's it's so McCain said it a year ago about Hillary and her health care plan, or I don't know how long ago he said it.
But the reason that this has come down on Obama is because it is directly linked to something Sarah Palin said about herself and his audience laughed.
They knew, they thought they knew exactly what he meant, and the audience started chanting um something about uh no more pit bulls, no more pit bulls.
Queer they thought he was talking about her.
Uh uh Chuck Graham, State Senator is here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
What am I talking about?
I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, though, pal.
I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Joe Biden yesterday asking a man in a wheelchair to stand up in Columbia, Missouri.
We're back, 800-282-2882.
Ladies and gentlemen, I don't remember who I was quoting yesterday yesterday, but do you remember I told you that somebody, some Democrat, had compared Obama to Jesus Christ and said that Pontius Pilate was a governor.
Do you remember who I was quoting on that yesterday?
Well, they've done it again.
Somebody said it on the floor of the House of Representatives today.
A Democrat congressman, Steve Cohen from Memphis said, if you want change, you want the Democrat Party.
Barack Obama was a community organizer like Jesus, who our minister just prayed about.
Pontius Pilate was a governor.
Now, this from the party, ladies and gentlemen, who wants nothing to do with mixing religion and politics, religion and state.
So apparently, somebody thought that whoever said this yesterday had come up with something brilliant because this Cohen guy mentions it on the floor of the House of Representatives today.
By the way, you remember Us Weekly, the cover on Sarah Palin, how they're losing subscriptions left and right.
Uh the uh friend of mine uh uh reports that uh Pajamas Media had a had a actually Michelle Malkin actually had a post on her website, just received uh from from one of her readers the latest desperate plea from Obama's Palin bashing backers at Us Weekly magazine to stop the bleeding.
Basically, uh us says, Thank you for contacting us.
Uh we are sorry you're upset over the Governor Palin cover.
We do not want to lose you as a subscriber over one article in one issue in an effort to keep you as a subscriber.
We will add five free issues to your subscription.
So they apparently being inundated.
Now, what's great about this is that Us Weekly is a young winner entertainment weekly with with pop culture type treatment of America's leftist celebrities and entertainers.
And these people think that the the I don't remember this happening.
I don't remember a left-wing publication running an article cover or whatever, critical of anybody before that caused such an uproar.
And I will guarantee you that the Us Weekly offices and in Young Winners office, they had to be stunned.
This just doesn't happen.
Normally they get praised when they rip into right wingers or conservatives.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, off subject, but still very important here.
Nancy Pelosi says that she is going to urge and support a fifty billion dollar bailout or loan Program, quote unquote, to the big three automakers, enabling them to be able to compete.
This comes on the heels of the very people who destroyed the U.S. mortgage industry being placed in total charge of it.
These people that ran Freddie Mack and Fannie May, and by the way, the two most recent head honchos at uh at uh Fannie Mae, one of them's Howell Range, the other one's Jim Johnson.
They both ran, and you know, Reigns had to leave the place in uh amidst charges of corruption and so forth.
He was in Clinton's administration.
Not uh not Franklin Range, not Howell Range was New York, Franklin Reigns and Jim Johnson.
They are both economic advisors in the Obama campaign.
Both these guys who have ties to Fannie Mae, which botched the mortgage industry in this country, are economic advisors to Barack Obama.
Anyway, the the the idea that we're gonna now spend 50, and they and by the way, the automakers were all over both conventions.
I mean, they're out there trying to get the money.
But there's a great column about this at the Wall Street Journal by Holman W. Jenkins, Jr.
And it's entitled How to Save Detroit and $50 billion.
For a sum small compared to their revenues, but large in relation to their market caps, the Detroit automakers were all over the two conventions.
Their lobbyists had something to sell.
A plea for $50 billion in federal loans.
Congress practically owes us this money, Ford GM and Chrysler argue, because Congress slammed us with new fuel mileage mandates that are going to cost us a hundred billion dollars to meet.
The White House is in the process of caving.
McCain caved it, says here Barack Obama didn't need to cave, he was already there.
But before rushing to pass the legislation, there's an easy way to save $50 billion or whatever part of these loans won't be paid back.
Just repeal the fuel economy rules.
It you know, it has to infuriate the automakers.
How readily critics attribute their problems to their own incompetence.
But if they're incompetent, how do you explain that General Motors is thriving in Europe?
How do you explain that General Motors is smelling uh selling small cars that get lots of miles per gallon?
There was a story the other day that Ford has a car that gets 65 miles to the gallon, but they can't sell it in America, they're not allowed.
Can't sell it in North America because it runs on diesel.
It seats five.
It gets 65 miles to the gallon.
Buick is among the biggest selling brands in uh in China.
General Motors is running away with Latin America.
The big three's problem is North America.
And uh Mr. Jenkins here says they should have pulled out long ago.
And his idea says is rather than give them $50 billion, just get rid of these stupid cafe standards, get rid of the government running the autobus.
Get the environmentalist wackos out of the autobus and let them make the cars that they know the customer wants.
But these these silly restrictions are causing all kinds of retooling, all kinds of investment.
They're not the same kind, they don't face these restrictions in different different parts of the world, and they're doing well around the world.
The only reason GM and Ford and these people have gone bankrupt is because they're all kicking butt around the world.
They're just not kicking butt here.
Now, why is that?
They also got saddled with a monopolistic union, UAW and other big huge contracts and paying people who are no longer working for them.
Toyota doesn't have that.
Other foreign makers that make their cars here do not have the same restrictions that the uh big three do, so it's real simple.
You know, you get the government out of the mortgage industry, it's gonna be fine, but no, we're gonna put them in charge of it.
They destroyed it.
Get the government out of the car business.
Al Gore and his ilk have been trying to get us to buy electric cars and all these little things that nobody wants and forcing the automakers to make these things, and if the automakers say, well, all right, by God, if you're gonna force us to lose a hundred billion dollars making stuff, you better help us pay for it.
And in a way, they've got a point.
The idea is just get out of this.
There's Pelosi proposing today she's gonna support this $50 billion uh loan program.
Of course she will.
Every liberal Democrat down the pike wants this to happen.
They Want the federal government to have their hands in the auto industry so that they can have even more control over it.
But these cafe standards are not part of something that the automakers would have done unilaterally on themselves.
It would have happened anyway, according to market forces, but they're unrealistic.
The government doesn't know how to run the car business.
They don't know how to build cars, they don't know how to design them.
And instead, what we have are environmental wackest wacko lobbyists who have a lot of uh pull in Washington, forcing all kinds of regulations.
It's classic.
The auto business is overregulated, and it's costing a lot of people a lot of money per car.
The union contracts are costing, I don't know how much per car.
The health insurance for the union employees is quite I don't know how much per car.
Costs that Toyota doesn't face, for example.
So it's real simple.
Mr. Jenkins here is exactly right.
If you get the government out of these businesses, he'll be fine.
Because the government cannot tell them what cafe standards to build in Latin America, in China, in Europe.
And American cars are kicking butt over there.
Now, as to General Motors, folks, as you know, they are an official sponsor here, and we are honored to have them as official sponsors.
They are working hard to try to provide cars that people demand and people want.
Everybody's talking about the cost of a gallon of gasoline.
A lot of people are talking.
General Motors is doing, they're designing terrific cars.
We get to drive the new ones periodically here.
They've got great crossovers and trucks, SUVs that use alternative fuels.
They just came out, the uh Escalade hybrid now.
They're working on all kinds of new technologies that'll help use less gasoline, and they're doing this independent of these government regulations.
One of the alternatives to gas is uh is driving flex fuel cars that use uh biofuels like ethanol.
If you want that, if you want to buy a car that uses ethanol, General Motors has them.
They have four million flex fuel vehicles on the road uh across the globe, and they've committed to build even more.
Uh they've got a lot of models that run on E 85, the 2009 Buick Lucerne runs on it.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Really, your dad just bought a Malibu after you were test driving it recently.
But Dawn's dad just went out and bought a Malibu.
When are we going to get the Lucerne?
I thought the Lucerne was supposed to already be here.
I think they're waiting for the hurricane to pass.
You never know.
And yeah, we're gonna get the Blue Equal Cern.
We'll be reporting on it as we drive it around.
But I've met with these GM people folks, and they're doing they're they're they're they are working hard.
They got a lot of people in their way, they got a lot of obstacles in their way, global warming crowd and all that, but they are trying to provide vehicles that people actually want, can afford, and are not expensive to run.
Quick time.
You can see them all by the way at Rush Limbaugh.com.
A quick timeout.
We'll be back after this.
Somebody just sent me an interesting little ditch here in the uh email, ladies and gentlemen.
It's entitled, Who Am I?
I'm under 45 years old.
I love the outdoors.
I hunt.
I am a Republican governor.
A reformer, I'm a Republican reformer.
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment.
I have many children.
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less than two years in the governor's office.
Who am I?
Teddy Roosevelt's rights, Snerdly, Teddy Roosevelt in 1900.
And uh let's see, back to the phones.
This is Jeff in Cascade, Maryland.
Jeff, nice to have you with us, sir.
Hello.
Rush, Camp David, neighborhood watch ditto you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Uh yeah, I wanted to uh mention that uh the lipstick on a pig became a liberal talking point uh last week when uh Bob Beckle uttered it uh while he was uh addressing a Fox News debate.
Uh don't remember exactly the debate.
However, uh it was floated out there last week, so I truly believe Barack Obama had a grasp on what he was saying.
Well, look, the bottom line is this.
Lipstick on a pig is a worn-out political cliche.
I don't think that any campaign has to put it in their manual in or well, maybe Obama has to because he hasn't heard it before.
Uh he's so young.
But I don't think I don't think Beckle saying it last week is any indication that it's an official weapon or ammo in the Obama arsenal.
The the the giveaway here is that they're now going and said, Well, McCain said it about Hillary's health care plan.
Yeah, he said it about Hillary's health care plan, but this was in direct response to Sarah Palin making a lipstick joke.
Pitbull lipstick joke.
And Obama did an exact response.
And if if it was, you know, they're out there saying it's a phony charge.
This charge of sexism and so forth.
The fact that I called her a pig, it's phony, then why address it?
If it's phony, why address it?
Well, some people will say he can't let that go.
He's lost control of the media on this.
This is gonna be a 24 hour story.
McCain's got a little ad running on YouTube.
He's gotta go out there and say something about it.
Not if it's phony.
What about this?
You know how things are in politics.
If you really think that you've offended somebody hurt their feelings or whatever, you you apologize, right?
There's a woman, as a girl.
I just I again, folks, let's not get sidetracked by you know whether he was calling her a pig or not.
That to me is not the point.
The point grab the bite.
What is it?
Soundbite number one.
I forgot the numbers.
I'm all out of whack here on the roster, but it's some somebody play please again.
Listen, it's not just about Palin.
He's got a comment in here about McCain as well.
You can put uh lipstick on a pig.
It's still a pig.
You know, you can uh you know, you can uh you you you you can ramp an old fish in a in a piece of paper called change, it's still gonna stink after eight years.
We've had enough of the same old thing.
You see, he's either calling It's time to bring about real change to Washington.
Right, right, right.
He's either talking about Bush or McCain here as stinking being eight years, an eight-year-old fish.
But aside from even that, aside from that, play it again.
I want you to listen to this sound like somebody who has presidential discipline, presidential speaking capability.
And uh, uh, and I uh uh before the fish comment.
Throw some might throw some rim shots in here, because I'm telling you, this is an attempt, a poor attempt at a stand-up comic routine.
You can put uh lipstick on a pig.
It's still a pig.
You know, you can uh you know, you can uh you you you you can ramp an old fish in a in a piece of paper called change, it's still gonna stink after eight years.
We've had enough of the same old thing.
It's time to bring about real change to Washington.
I think his timing is bad, his comedic timing is bad, he just doesn't feel it.
Listen to Biden.
Now, Biden's got the comedic, he's got the timing down, gang.
He's got the timing down.
It's just the jokes don't quite fly.
Uh uh Chuck Graham, state senator's here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.

I tell you what, stand up for Chuck.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God love you, pal.

Obama's got no rhythm.
Well, you compare the here, go back.
I don't know how long somebody would play somebody, he's got no, you just heard Biden.
Listen to listen to Obama, he's got no rhythm whatsoever.
You can put uh lipstick on a pig.
It's still a pig.
You know, you can uh you know, you can uh you can ramp an old fish in a in a piece of paper called change, it's still gonna stink After eight years, we've had enough of the same old thing.
It's time to bring about real change to Washington.
No rhythm.
No sense of comic timing.
None whatsoever.
Needs to go back, start smoking, take a cocktail out there with him when he's gonna start these routines, or else maybe get some lessons from Biden.
Chuck Graham, state senator, is here.
Stand up, Chuck, let him see you.
Oh, God love you.
