Time Text
I'm now being flooded with emails from people reminding me that McCain really didn't give up any information.
It broke him in the sense.
He admitted they broke him, but he stuff he's written about, the things that they said about him in the convention that when they demanded names, he gave them the offensive line to Green Bay Packers and things like that.
But this is just more of the PAP, BS, and lies that the Obama thugs are putting out.
Man, if they've reached that bottom of the barrel to say that McCain's not worthy of being the presidency of being president because he gave up information as a prisoner of war for crying out loud, this is even better than I thought.
And we got great polling data to share with you as well here, folks.
Welcome back.
Rush Limbaugh, The Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Here's the phone number, 800-282-2882.
If you want to go the email route, it's illrushbow at EIBnet.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, I should tell you that I was offered this morning the opportunity to write 800 words of an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal tomorrow on this Spanish language ad of Obama's that smears John McCain and me.
Lies about McCain takes quotes of mine totally out of context.
You know, I was reminded, by the way, of something when I saw this.
I've read Clarence Thomas' book, and there's a passage in Justice Thomas's book discussing his confirmation hearings.
He was blindsided by a question from Joe Biden, where Biden used a quote from a long-ago Clarence Thomas speech.
Justice Thomas at first tried to say he didn't recall a quote the way Biden was reading it, and then Biden sneered that it was an exact quote.
Remember Charlie Gibson misquoting Sarah Palin from an AP story and said, exact words, exact words.
And she didn't remember it that way either.
Charlie, I don't remember it that way.
The same thing happened to Clarence Thomas.
When Biden gave him a quote, lift out of context, Justice Thomas in his hearing said, I don't remember it that way.
Biden sneered it was an exact quote.
And Clarence Thomas was left to trying to defend the original intent of his point with this supposedly exact quote hanging over him saying the opposite.
It's the old, were you lying then or are you lying now trap?
And during a break, Thomas's staff reviewed the speech in question, discovered that in fact Biden had used the exact quote, but lifted it out of its context to suggest a completely opposite meaning.
But by then the moment had passed, the damage was done.
Now, I want to warn Sarah Palin in the McCain campaign.
Her debate opponent is going to be the Kia Pet, Joe Biden.
And he is famous for this.
This is a liberal tactic.
And I will guarantee you that even as we sit here now, Biden's Senate staff or somebody is pouring through Sarah Palin remarks.
And in this upcoming debate that they have October 2nd in St. Louis, Biden is going to lift a quote of hers out of context that means the exact opposite of what she said.
And then the moderators, well, what about that, Governor Palin?
It sounds very much at odds with what you're saying now, Senator McCain and so forth.
And she's going to have to be prepared.
This is one of their favored tactics.
And it is, I'm sure, being plotted for use even as we speak.
So I wrote the Wall Street Journal op-ed this morning while at the same time doing a feverish show prep and sent it off.
They liked it.
They said, wow, I mean, this is pretty hard-hitting.
So it's going to be on their website.
It's going to be in the newspaper as well in the Friday editions.
And they asked for 800 words.
I finished up at about 700, which they also love.
They love you coming in under the word count.
And I said, brevity is a solo wit.
The shorter time it takes you to make the point, the more power the point has.
But it reminded me, Daniel Henninger, today in the Wall Street Journal.
Again, making the point that I made earlier today, begging McCain, don't waste Sarah Palin.
Don't make her mirror you.
Don't turn her into a populist where she's bashing U.S. corporations in Wall Street.
Turn her loose on the Democrats.
And Henninger has it great here.
He said, forget the Tina Fey, SNL, Saturday Night Live mockery and all the marginalia being written about Sarah Palin now.
She did four real things in Alaska that make her fit for anybody interested in a reform presidency.
She took on her party state chairman, her party state attorney general, GOP Governor Frank Murkowski's tainted gas pipeline project.
Then she supported a GOP candidate who ran against Alaska's untouchable GOP congressional earmarker Don Young.
One way or another, each episode involved severing the sleazy ties that bind public officials to grasping commercial interests, something even the Democrat left purports to favor.
It isn't just Washington and Juneau.
You could open the nozzle on the same reform fire hose to wash the public-private slime out of the Capitol hallways of New York, New Jersey, California, Illinois, and onward.
You say Sarah Palin doesn't have enough experience to run Washington?
Washington's barely fit to be run.
The problem is not standard political corruption.
The problem is that the $2.8 trillion federal budget's a vast ocean of beltway pilot fish feeding off scraps from the whale.
Lawyers, lobbyists, ex-members of Congress, nobody runs the sea of Washington.
It's too big and it's too deep.
Barack Obama wants to dig a deeper hole.
John McCain should ask the American people if they want this to go on because it's nonsense to vote for government to do more and then whine when it doesn't work or degrades into sweetheart deal hell.
Unfocused reform.
Unfocused reform rhetoric from McCain isn't enough.
Public's been there, heard that.
Senator McCain should talk about what he knows.
Fat Fanny and Freddie, farm bill bloat, ethanol subsidy fiasco, the federal procurement mess.
Show people Governor Palin's 18 single space pages of 2007 votes.
Then identify Congress's bipartisan supporters of the Legislative Line Item Veto Act.
Ask the voters' support.
The Peerwood GOP congressmen from her new generation who want to help.
Eric Cantor, Virginia, Paul Ryan, Wisconsin, Kevin McCarthy of California.
There are others.
Henninger is exactly right.
Turn her loose.
Do not mirror her.
Audio soundbite time.
I said yesterday, you want to fix AIG?
Go back and get Hank Greenberg in there.
Maurice Hank Greenberg, he's the guy that built it.
He showed up with Neil Cavuto yesterday on the Fox News channel.
Question the argument was, as you know, that we were too loose with regulation, and that led to all these problems.
What is regulation?
You can't replace management with regulation.
Management is still responsible in the final analysis.
If you do the right risk management and you have the right controls, then regulation is not going to make a difference there.
Because if you have poor management, you're going to have all the regulation in the world, and it's not going to change anything.
And so, you know, my guess is that the problems that have come about have been management problems more than regulatory problems.
Amen.
Now, we have to admit he's got a little acts to grind because they forced him out of there on these bogus charges that Elliot Spitzer drummed up.
None of it ever even consummated, but Greenberg was forced out under pressure by Elliot Spitzer, while at the same time, Elliot Spitzer's out there making whoopee with the hooker.
Nobody knew it at the time.
But the point is here, all this regulation, I disagree with one thing, it can gum up the works.
But the point that regulation cannot substitute for poor management, that's right on the money.
And you know, that gets to the whole, I think one of the central problems that we are facing.
And that is that too many American people, too many in our population, believe that the government, which is, what is it, regulation, onerous or otherwise, can fix things simply by telling people how to straighten up their mess or preventing them from doing bad things, when in fact, the responsibility goes to people with hands-on.
You got good management, bad management, bad management screws up.
And his point is that there's no regulation that's going to compensate for bad management.
Just isn't going to happen.
Yet everybody thinks, or too many people think, that that precisely can be the case.
That regulation can prevent any kind of downturn.
That regulation can prevent a recession.
Regulation can prevent the stock market going down too much and so forth.
And of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
Maurice Hank Greenberg, who was the former CEO of AIG.
Now, this morning on Joe Scarborough's show, MSNBC had Larry Kudlow, and Kudlow had this to say about Wall Street and the loan crisis.
The Community Reinvestment Act, which was passed in the mid-90s, which was extended in the early 2000s, pushed these lenders to make low-income loans.
You cannot blame this on low-income people.
Now I better get in the house.
You say poor people have caused this crisis?
No, I didn't say, no, listen to what I'm saying.
Not poor people.
Members of Congress who were rich people.
But their liberal guilt consciences forced banks and lenders to make lousy substandard loans.
And that has to be repealed.
Okay, then let me refresh that.
Not everybody can afford a home, Joe.
Some people have to watch.
That's just the way it is.
They should be told that they're not.
Thank you, Megan.
Thank you.
They have to be told that.
Well, nobody was.
Joe, what happened to you here on this?
Kudlow's, he wasn't indicting poor people.
Joe, a good friend of mine, as they say in Washington.
And he is.
Joe Scarborough, but it fell right into the trap making Kudlow's point here.
Kudlow's point says that liberal guilt, their consciences, I think it's a little bit more than that.
There's a lot of guilt here, but there's also a desire to just screw things up.
This is buying votes.
This is passing around walking around money to people who aren't walking around anymore.
They're stationary.
This is just another way of passing around walking around money without having to send Al Sharpton out to the neighborhoods to dole it out.
Just came straight from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the form of a house for crying out loud.
Now, you don't sit there, you don't blame them, of course.
I mean, talk to Beat Cop.
Anybody in the neighborhood giving something away, you got a mob.
We had a mob where we're giving away houses for all intents and purposes.
Nobody's blaming them.
It's the policies that put this into place.
Now, Nora O'Donnell, MSNBC Live yesterday, she's just beside herself here.
She can barely contain herself.
We had the news yesterday that the Gallup poll had Obama back up.
The daily tracking, 4745, here's how she reported it.
And finally, the new Daily Gallup National Tracking Poll is out.
Take a look at this.
For the first time since the GOP Convention, Obama has the lead.
47 to 45 percent.
Yes, yay, yay, but it ain't good out there for Obama when you look at it.
The way we're going to look at it when we come back.
Okay, before we get on to the continuation of our news digest here, ladies and gentlemen, an announcement.
I have made an executive decision.
On Monday, we will have for broadcast on this program Spanish language translations of my April 6, 2006 morning update for Hispanic-speaking peoples across the country, not just in four states.
We will also have Spanish language audio of selected edited aspects of monologues today that I have made on this issue.
We have two Spanish-speaking people on the staff, one female, one male.
I want to use a male voice in this case, since it was a male voice on the fraudulent McCain ad, that Spanish-speaking employees, typical slackers on vacation, but he'll be back over the weekend.
Nobody goes on vacation during a campaign, but he did.
Just kidding.
Just kidding, just throwing it in.
But on Monday, we will have this.
It was a good suggestion from a caller today.
Si supuete.
That's exactly whatever you said.
It's si si puete.
Si supuete.
You were saying sushi.
You're saying sushi puede.
And I know it's not sushi.
Folks, you may not have heard about this.
I may be breaking news to you.
There has been announced a reunion of the grateful dead.
It is a concert to benefit Obama for America.
It will take place at the Bryce Jordan Center, University Park, Pennsylvania, at 5.30 in the afternoon on Monday, October 13th.
Well, just would you just, would you just know this is not about Obama resurrecting Jerry Garcia?
I should have said, okay, this is as close as we could get to a Grateful Dead reunion.
Here are the performing artists at the concert to benefit Obama for America.
Performances by Bob Weir, Phil Lesch, Bill Krutzman, and Mickey Hart, as well as Greg Allman, Butch Trucks, J-Mo, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Mark Kinones, Otiel Burbridge, and Jeff Cimeti.
This is why I say this is a bunch of has-beens.
Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, it is essentially a Grateful Dead reunion at a concert to benefit Obama for America on Monday, October 13th, by Jordan Center, University of Park, Pennsylvania at 5.30 in the afternoon.
All right, some polling data.
This is from www.dailyindia.com.
DailyIndia.com.
These guys, this website ends up having very often some fascinating stuff.
It's Dateline, Washington.
The latest forecast of the Electoral College suggests that John McCain is way ahead of Barack Obama.
The research to be presented at the annual meeting of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences between October 13th and 15th, less than three weeks before the election, says that as of September 16th,
two days ago for those of you in Riolinda, the margin in electoral votes could be as high as 282.8 for Senator McCain against 255.2 for Senator Obama, depending on the forecast scenario.
Operations researcher Sheldon Jacobson, professor at the University of Illinois, Champaign, Urbana, along with a group of students and collaborators at SIU University Edwardsville, created a math model that dynamically forecasts the outcome of the election.
Over 4,000 analysts and experts in analytics are expected to attend next month's meetings.
Jacobson's model applies a mathematical model to state polling data using a dynamic programming algorithm to forecast electoral results.
Now, you got to read the whole article.
We will link to this at rushlimbaugh.com.
It's not a poll.
It's not some pundit's prediction.
It's a mathematical formula.
And who knows?
It's just another thing to throw into the mix.
But what is infinitely more interesting is that this appears in the dailyindia.com website.
More and more, ladies and gentlemen, we have to go to foreign news sources for this kind of information.
This is not a scenario the drive-bys are talking about right now.
And this, Champaign, Urbana, that's Illinois.
That's Obama's state.
Now, if this is true, it means that some blue states have become, at best, purple states, while few, if any, red states have turned black.
That's what this has to mean.
And you couple this.
There was another story yesterday.
This is the second time I've seen this poll on the fact that the congressional races are tightening up, and it's no longer going to be axiomatically this Democrat sweep.
Also, Obama is now trailing McCain in Georgia by 16 points.
New survey conditioned, commissioned by two television stations, one in Atlanta, one in Macon, conducted by Survey USA, has McCain 57, Obama 41 in Georgia.
That is why Obama's taken all of his assets out of New Georgia, and he's trundled up the road to North Carolina with them.
You won't hear about this either in the drive-by media.
It's in the Atlanta urinal constipation, but you're not going to hear this on any drive-by networks.
And Dick Morris, Carl Rove have interesting analyses, too, coming up.
Okay, here's Dick Morris's electoral map.
As of now, McCain has 222 delegates for him.
This is electoral votes.
68 are leaning for a total of 290.
Obama has 146.
They've been pretty locked down electoral votes.
26 are leaning a total of 172.
That's 290 to 172 with Dick Morris.
And I think Karl Rove, this spread's not that big, but Karl Rove has a similar electoral college map.
And McCain has taken the lead in that map for the first time.
Back to the phones.
People have waited patiently here.
This is Pamela in Gainesville, Georgia.
Great to have you here on the program.
Hey, Rush, how are you?
Glad you're never better.
Thank you.
I just got a response for that little knucklehead.
Jason said something about McCain being tortured.
I mean, does he not remember that McCain was tortured for five years?
Of course he knows all that.
He just, I'll tell you, who's spreading this Bildrumor is Naomi Wolfe, the noted feminist, is spreading this notion that McCain is not trustworthy because he turned in his buddies, gave up their locations, all that stuff.
Has Jason even read any of Obama's memoirs about how he was supporting his Muslim brothers?
Did Jason forget about the beheadings that were on TV on not even military personnel, but civilians that were beheaded on television?
Jason, I think it's a ridiculous thing to even ask this.
I don't mean to insult you here, but I think it's, you know, you start talking to people like this, like, I got to, you'll notice I got in there, got it, and got out real fast because the longer you stay in a conversation with an idiot and a fool, the harder it's going to be for the audience to tell the difference in you and the fool.
Here's what I glean when I take calls from these types of guys.
When I get calls from liberals, what in the world is there to work with them on?
Somebody show me the bridge to compromise with these idiots.
There is nothing about that guy, Jason, that I care to understand or get along with.
And after about two minutes of attempting to see if he is open-minded enough to see the truth and he doesn't, bam, you're out of there.
It's not worth the wasted time out there, folks.
And I think the lesson here is we're talking about a kook fringe opposition here, including Democrats elected to the Senate and the House, and the idea that we can somehow forge a compromise with these people and working relationships to get along with them.
Who the hell would want to?
What's in it for us?
What is it that this clown Jason said, for example, that we want to compromise with and make part of our plan to move forward?
We've got to swat these people like that out of the way.
I'm speaking politically, of course, within the arena of ideas.
Scott and Dallas, I'm glad you waited.
You're up next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Good afternoon, sir.
Hey.
This morning, Campbell Brown tried to literally take apart Lynn Rothschild, a formerly very high-placed Hillary Clinton supporter who has just voiced her support for John McCain.
Yes.
It was interesting to watch that she was, Campbell Brown was furious.
She interrupted Rothschild, and I kept wondering, what if this were a former McCain supporter who had all of a sudden turned Obama's supporter?
Campbell Brown would have just fawned over her.
You got to understand what was going on there.
And I, as host, understand it flawlessly.
That's why I called you.
Pardon me?
That's why I called you so we can all understand it.
Lady Lynn Forrester de Rothschild is a very prominent, wealthy, cultured, refined woman.
Campbell Brown thinks of herself the same way.
Liberal elitist babes think that they are in the same social set, the same cultural set as people like Lady Lynn de Forrester de Rothschild.
So when Lady Lynn de Forrester de Rothschild splits the scene, it is like she's being a traitor.
And Campbell Brown says, how could you leave us?
How could you betray your kind and so forth?
When the truth is that, you know, Campbell Brown's not in that league, and I don't know that you would really want to be, but they do.
Now, we've got, we don't have Campbell Brown.
I'm glad to get your on-the-spot report on that.
Do you have two sound bites from the Situation Room and Wolf Blitzer last night, who spoke with Lady Lynn Forrester de Rothschild, ardent Hillary Clinton supporter, who just said, I'm abandoning this party.
I don't like Obama.
Obama scares me.
I really do not like Obama, she said.
So Wolf Blitzer says, What they're saying, the Obama people, you just heard that congresswoman suggest that Lady Baroness de Rothschild, who is that to be talking about elitism when you are obviously among the elite right now.
See, this is so sad when the Democratic Party plays the class card and they try to divide America and they try to say that somehow my opinion is less worthy than another person's because I have this wonderful life.
I have a wonderful life.
I want John McCain and Sarah Palin in the White House so other people can have that wonderful life.
Is that not great?
Is that not?
This woman's a Democrat, but she's fed up with what's happened at party.
How come my opinion is not valid just because my wife is wonderful?
How come you only accept opinions in the Democrat Party from people who think lives are not wonderful or miserable or what have you?
And then Blitzer said, but you're still a registered Democrat.
I'm going to stay a Democrat.
You know, Ronald Reagan might have said it right.
The Democratic Party left me.
I didn't leave the Democratic Party.
Lynn Forrester de Rothschild, thanks for coming in.
Nice to see you.
You're going to get a little grief.
You know that.
I know.
I'm getting it all the time, particularly from the likes of you, the liberal elite.
You're the elite, not me.
Yeah, all right.
All right, all right, all right.
She called Wolf Blitzer and his guys the liberal elite.
And he says to her, see, they think that they are in her league on the same team.
They're in the same social strata.
And he's giving her a little wink and a nod.
You're going to get a little grief.
You know that.
How about that?
Yeah, I know I'm getting it all the time, particularly from the likes of you, the liberal elite.
You're the elite, not me.
Here is Mark in Fairfax, Virginia.
Hello, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Thank you, Rush, and thanks for taking my call.
I'll get right to my point.
I'm so glad to hear that you're going to write an op-ed piece tomorrow for the journal.
And I just wanted to remind you how the Spanish-language stations, Telemundo and Univision, didn't even broadcast the Republican Convention.
And I just think it's so patronizing of the Democratic Party to tell lies on the radio and then to censor from the Latino community the Republican Convention.
I had forgotten that, but you are exactly right.
Hey, all right.
You're exactly right.
And I remember what I said at the time.
It kind of kind of made me frustrated in a way.
It says, see, the whole point of the Republican Party and members of the party adopting this amnesty position was to show that we reach out to the Hispanic community, get them to vote for us, get them to register and vote for us.
And so McCain led the charge there.
And the very objects of his love and affection and his outreach refused to even televise his convention in Spanish to their people.
Yeah.
Grant say, I'm glad you reminded me of that.
Let's take a quick time out here, folks.
Much more straight ahead right after this.
Hi, welcome back.
There's lots to squeeze in here before we get out of here.
This is a story from the Miami Herald.
Bad mortgage brokers ran wild, Florida admits.
In a stinging critique of the state's oversight of the mortgage industry, top Florida investigators found that state regulators failed to alert police agencies to crooked mortgage brokerages, ignored citizen complaints, and allowed hundreds of people with criminal histories to peddle loans.
Right here in our state, the report released Tuesday to Governor Charlie Crist and the cabinet criticized the Office of Financial Regulation, saying the agency broke down in key areas, including screening brokers and shutting down shoddy operations while the state grappled with the nation's worst home loan fraud crisis.
The investigation carried out by the inspectors general of the state cabinet offices concluded the state's regulatory system was insufficient to protect the people of the state of Florida.
The regulatory system insufficient to protect the people of the state of Florida.
It takes me back to what Hank Greenberg just said.
There's no amount of regulation that can save you from bad management.
Zilch Zero Nada.
And if you think regulation can keep cheats from cheating you, you better think again.
Bush and McCain tried to reform Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.
Barney Frank and Chris Dodd protected their lobbyist buddies.
That'd be Chris nationwide Dodd.
The other culprits were brokers at the local level, ripped off Americans left and right.
Many of the jobless claims today are from rip-off artists in the mortgage industry, ladies and gentlemen, who closed up shop.
They got to be found.
They got to be prosecuted.
Congress wants to adjourn.
Dingy Harry wants to get out of town.
He doesn't want to deal with this.
Make the governors and the mayors continue to clean up the mess as well as trim the trees, pick up the garbage, and fill the potholes, would you?
Yes, Mrs. Snerdley, a questionable.
Mm-hmm.
They are predatory.
I mean, this is the whole, when the Democrats start talking about predatory lending, they're talking about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae from the standpoint of trying to pander in the same way they pander to everybody in class envy.
Everybody, even though there was no predatory lending going on, it was just the exact opposite.
It was just the exact opposite.
They still say it's predatory.
This is what gripes me when Republicans pick up this language.
The predatory lending was going on in the states.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were giving away houses.
But now people have lost their houses, Snurdley.
That's the point because ARMs went up.
Predatory lenders, mean lenders.
Why, they actually made these people start paying for their houses.
See?
Affordable housing is it doesn't cost you anything.
The government buys it for you.
Now, Sebelius, her remarks yesterday about race and so forth, she actually said, and this is her, let's see.
Somebody checked, who is this?
This is the Obama report, which is a website.
It's ObamaReport.blogspot.
I checked with Governor Sebelia's staff to find out, because there was confusion.
Did she say Republicans or not?
Because AP had one story, and then the Miami Herald edited it, and nobody knows what she actually said because the AP ran two different versions of this.
And so somebody here at this blog says, I checked with Governor Sebelia's staff.
They said the remarks are the property of the Obama campaign.
I'm not kidding.
Somebody asked Kathleen Sebelius for clarification.
Were you saying Republicans were going to move to the dark?
So whatever she said and they're racist and the race was going to be the reason Obama's having trouble.
Are you saying it was Republicans?
My remarks are the property of the Obama campaign.
They own her words.
They own Sebelius' words.
We keep talking about fixing Washington, ladies and gentlemen.
You can't change Washington until you change Pelosi, until you change Reed, until you change Dodd, until you change Leahy, until you change Schumer, until you change Wrangell, until you change Frank.
Now, we're not going to change all those people, but if we could change Reed and change Pelosi, then we might have a chance of changing Washington.
You know, liberal buzzwords now gone from nuance to comprehensive.
Nuance meant a liberal could barbarous dry sand both sides of an issue.
Nuance meant they were smarter than the rest of us.
There's nuance.
We can't really say for sure one way or the other who's responsible.
It's very complicated.
You wouldn't understand a lot of nuance.
Now it's comprehensive, comprehensive immigration reform.
And Pelosi's so-called energy plan.
What a joke this is.
It is an insult.
This is the drilling where you can drill where there isn't any oil.
And then, by the way, the states have to approve the drilling, but the states don't get any of the royalties.
Guess where the royalties go?
Feds.
So if the states are not going to get any royalties, why are they going to approve any of this?
And there's no drilling allowed where there is oil.
It's not an energy plan.
This is not an energy plan.
This is an IQ test for the media.
Are they smart enough to get it?
Are they honest enough to report it?
Or will the words comprehensive and energy mesmerize them?
Comprehensive energy reform.
You can drill anywhere offshore, but where the offshore oil actually is.
You can drill with state, city, local environmental approvals, but the states will not get any of the royalties.
And don't worry, your little greenheart, because the laws suits filed by the environmentalist wackos will tie all this up.
You know what?
Some court ought to say, what ought to be in this law?
Because we know that there are going to be some wackos sue.
There will be one case.
Every environmentalist wacko that wants to sue, we're going to put you in one case.
You're going to be class action.
There'll be thousands of defendants out there, but it's going to be one case to decide this.
We're not going to allow you wackos to have a thousand different cases with 200 million different trial lawyers involved in this.
Pelosi knows this is going to lead to zero drilling, but they know they're on the wrong side of the issue.
They have to be able to go out and run for re-election saying we passed a law allowing more drilling and exploration for all out there.
Now, I don't expect any of the mainstream media watchdogs are smart enough to get this, or if they are smart enough to get it, honest enough to report it.
But I wanted to, nevertheless, illustrate it for you.
Boynton Beach, Florida.
Terry, great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Thank you.
Well, good afternoon, Jean.
It's a female.
I'm sorry.
I should have said you.
I misread the hell.
Do you want to call me a guy?
Ma'am, nice to have you.
Well, sir, it's a pleasure to be with you.
You are the greatest.
I adore you.
Thank you very much.
That makes me very happy.
Well, I hope so.
You're a happy man, and you make everyone else happy.
I know.
I wanted to tell you, dear, that I was listening to one of those news shows a few weeks ago, and Lisa Bloom, are you familiar with that lady?
Yes.
Lori Allred's daughter?
Yes.
She referred to Sarah Palin as Rush Limbaugh in a skirt.
I got the biggest kick out of it.
Sarah Palin would kill for my legs, though.
Would she?
You've got a great set of legs.
You've got a great sense of humor.
I just looked down the street from you.
You are absolutely wonderful and a great asset to everything that you do.
You make life a little better for us.
Well, that's awfully nice of you to say that.
No, it's the truth.
It is.
And especially what Obama.
By the way, where in Boynton Beach do you live?
You know, I occasionally venture down there to play golf.
You do?
I am right off Wolbright, 56.
I'm the lady with the ball.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
