Ladies and gentlemen, Bo Snerdley is my boss today.
I'm checking out the reports by sociologists last week that Obama's election will make white people more comfortable working for a black boss.
So I walked into my boss's office during the break, and I was reassured that, yeah, my voice sounds very scratchy, but it's not taking away from the brilliance that is emanating from my oral cavity today.
So my boss assures me that things are cool.
And my boss does not lie to me.
I don't know about yours.
Greetings.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number is 800-282-2882.
The email address, lrushbo at EIBnet.com.
Let me just close the loop on something in the first hour.
I am predicting Obama will close Guantanamo Bay.
I'm going to go with what Obama said last night on 60 Minutes, what he said throughout his campaign.
I am going to eschew the New York Times story from yesterday, which claims that his advisors are coming up with ways that under his imprimatur, that the world would love us, that he could keep it open.
He's got to close it for the sake of his presidency.
If he doesn't close it, then he's going to give people like me a chance to define his presidency for him.
And by the way, grab the soundbite two.
I want to replay this with a little bit more time to analyze it.
We'll get to that in a second.
Plus, your phone calls will get to this hour, I promise, 800-282-2882.
Now, I want to talk about how smart Obama is.
I told you the appointment of Rah Emmanuel as the chief of staff was a very smart move politically because exactly as I thought it would, it got a bunch of Arab criticism.
And, you know, this sort of diffuses the fear that a lot of people have that Obama is tight with Islamists because of the Hamas connection, the endorsement and so forth.
And just for PR purposes.
The Obama campaign's an image.
His presidency will be an image.
It is symbolism over substance.
And there's going to be some pretty bad substance to it.
A lot of people say, Rush, you're really, you're wrong.
There's entrepreneur stuff.
You're too high.
I looked at the email to break.
You're being too tough on Mark Cuban.
Everybody knows that you've got to have a growing economy.
I said, yeah, Obama wants to grow the economy if you define the economy as government.
So, yeah, I mean, he wants to grow the government.
He wants the government to have a hand in virtually everything.
And with these bailouts that are taking place now, he's been given a head start.
Let's talk about Hillary and Secretary of State.
Very, very brilliant move.
You know the old adage, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
This is a textbook case of keeping your enemies closer.
It's also going to appoint Clinton as an envoy to the world or the Middle East or somewhat.
I don't know.
Gets him out of the country, you know, gets him over there.
But Hillary as Secretary of State, people say, what are her qualifications as Secretary of State?
Doesn't matter, folks.
Obama's going to run the foreign policy of the country anyway.
Look at this is he is an authoritarian figure.
He's not a delegator.
He'll delegate the chump chain stuff, but the stuff that he's got passions.
He has genuine passions and policy ideas that fly in the face of the way the country was founded.
And in those areas where he can change as much of this country as possible, and change was his campaign byword.
Slogan, Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State is not about Mrs. Clinton as Secretary of State.
And it's not about any deal they might have made.
It's about making it impossible for her to run for the presidency again in 2012.
And you might be raising your eyebrow and saying, Rush, how could that possibly be?
Well, think ahead now.
If you want to run for president in 2012, you've got to start in two years.
If you're the Secretary of State for two years, then you resign.
You're running against the incumbent and you were part of the cabinet.
They're figuring not even Hillary would do that.
And even if she did, it wouldn't be effective.
So this really is about taking, and I'll tell you something else he doesn't want.
He does not want Hillary as the majority leader in the Senate.
He does not want his number one enemy, excuse me, as the majority leader in the Senate, number one enemy in the Democrat Party in terms of his campaign enemy, campaign opponent.
And I'm sure that she's probably sick and tired of being junior senator behind Chuck Hugh Schumer.
And I'm sure that Chuck Yu Schumer would love to have her out of the Senate as well.
Get her out of the way.
I think a lot of Democrats would love to have Hillary and Bill just out of the way.
So you park her over at Foggy Bottom.
You make him some sort of envoy ambassador to the Middle East at large.
And you wink at him and say, go ahead and charge your speeches over there.
We'll let you fudge on that.
The big stumbling block to this, apparently Obama has sent out a 63-page questionnaire to anybody who wants to work closely with him in any area of government that, you know, if McCain had sent this out, and if he had been elected president and sent this out, I mean, they would be trying to impeach McCain or forestall his inauguration.
You talk about violation of privacy, human rights, civil rights, these questionnaires, I wouldn't dare.
I wouldn't touch it.
But a lot of these people are going to have to.
And the question is, can Clinton pass this?
They're working really hard here because, you know, Clinton won't divulge any information about the donors or the structure and the operational aspects of the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor in Little Rock.
They're also vetting the Clinton Global Initiative.
And they're vetting the Clinton Foundation.
Now, this is something the Clintons did everything in the world they could to protect and hide.
So I don't know how that's going to go, but if somehow they find a way to get Hillary past that, see, they've got to find out if there's any conflict.
If there's any conflict, see, the concern is that Bill may have been taking gazillions of dollars for speeches and other things.
And who knows what he advised Hillary to do in the Senate as a result.
So it may well be that they're going to find all kinds of conflicts.
Well, why would Mrs. Clinton want it?
I don't know.
And by the way, the latest news on this is that he has very seriously considering offering it to her, but I don't think it's been officially offered yet, has it?
So I don't think it has.
I think that's a lot of trial balloons are out there right now.
I don't know why she would take it other than she doesn't want to be junior senator behind Chuck Hugh Schumer anymore.
And maybe the Supreme Court's not something that Obama has said is available.
Maybe that's not on the table.
So many rumors about this.
By the way, speaking of all this, the nags are beginning to get restless.
Just as Mark Cuban, just as Mark Cuban is unhappy that there aren't any entrepreneurs on Obama's economic advisory team, this is from the, let's say, Politico.com.
Early indications that men might dominate the hierarchy of Obama administration have women's groups worried, even as a growing chorus of advisors reportedly pushes Hillary for sex state.
There's definitely been a reaction to the few groups that have been named so far, said Kim Gandhi, the president of the NAGS.
That's the National Association of Gals.
I agree with those who are concerned that it would have been nice to see more women.
You know, the guy that had the most diversified cabinet in the history of the country was George W. Bush.
And they hated him.
They still hate him.
Amy Siskind or Ciskind, she's co-founder of the New Agenda, a non-partisan women's rights group founded by Clinton support, a Clinton support group, non-partisan.
At any rate, it's appropriate Obama's vetting Clinton, but she's just one woman.
We want to see parity in the representation of women in the cabinet.
The NAGs are also upset that Obama is considering seriously Larry Summers for Treasury Secretary because they got him broomed at Harvard because of some comments they made about women and math and science.
By the way, since when did parity become the new standard?
I thought equal.
Equality.
Equal was what about what is this parody?
At any rate, the NAGs are upset.
They're not happy about this.
And for you nags out there, again, ignorance is the most expensive commodity we have.
Have you seen, did you take note of how Michelle Mybel was treated during the campaign?
After a couple of flub-ups, when Michelle Mybel went out there and spoke her mind, and she said she's the first time in her life, she's been proud of the country.
And then she told these women in Zanesville, Ohio, to shut up and forget about working in big-paying jobs.
Don't go to law firms.
Don't go to Wall Street.
Stay there at the pancake house.
You know, stay there in the nursing business.
We need people like you.
Then they shut her up, duct tape on the mouth, put her in the closet, and we didn't hear from her for what was it, Brian?
Six weeks?
I know you were paying attention.
It had to be six weeks or so.
We didn't hear from Michelle Mybel.
And then Obama had to go to Hawaii because grandmother died.
They trotted Michelle, because this was the Friday before the election, was it not?
Yes.
Or the Thursday.
So they trotted Michelle out.
They took the duct tape off and they sent her out there to Indiana or someplace in Ohio, maybe.
But there weren't any cameras.
There were microphones.
There weren't any cameras.
And then on election night, the strangest it was creepy.
I mean, it was really creepy.
Obama walks out and it has these shoving the two little girls out in front of, come on, girls, come on, girls.
And Michelle Mybel walks out in that dress, the red splotches on it there.
And they wave and do the thing.
And then after about five minutes of that, bam, sends them backstage.
Michelle Mybel and the two little girls are banished.
And Obama, a singular, except if he's normally you see the family up there, they're all doting and the supporters are lined up.
Uh-uh, this is all about Barry.
And only after he had finished his sermon was Michelle Maybel permitted to come back to the stage, but she had to share it with Plugs Biden and his wife.
So you nags out there, my only point is here, that you nags, you could have seen this, just like Mark Cuban could have seen that entrepreneurs equals individuals equals that ain't flying in the Obama administration.
You could have seen very plainly that the woman who is his best friend, quote unquote, closest to him, was vanished with duct tape and was not even allowed to stand out there during the biggest night of their lives, his acceptance speech.
And now you start crying, because he's only named potentially one woman to the cabinet.
What is it?
These people are just idiots.
They're just, these are the most discriminating, bigoted people around, American liberals.
And by the way, nags, you saw how Barry treated Hillary during the primaries.
Little racism there, a little sexism thrown in, and you're expecting, what is this now?
Parody?
Parody is a sports team.
Parody is the NFL.
And by the way, you know how parody works in the NFL?
You punish the good teams.
You put them low in a draft order.
You give the worst teams a chance to pick the best players out of college.
And you rely on the fact that the teams that finished last have stupid front offices and make the wrong picks.
And generally they do.
The worst teams remain the worst teams.
There are exceptions.
You nags, I don't get it.
I just, can you, these things will be popping up throughout the Obama administration as all of these ribald supporters are going to be shocked.
Barry did one other smart thing.
And this was a story in the Washington Post today.
He sent letters.
Obama sent letters to federal employees.
Series of letters to workers that offer detailed descriptions of how he intends to add muscle to specific government programs, give new power to bureaucrats, and roll back some Bush administration policies.
These letters were sent to employees at seven agencies.
They describe Obama's intention to scale back on contracts to private firms doing government work, to remove censorship from scientific research, to champion tougher industry regulation, to protect workers and the environment.
These letters are written October 20th.
They reveal a candidate adeptly tailoring his message to a federal audience and tapping into many workers' dismay at funding cuts and workforce downsizing in the Bush years.
Many of Obama's promises would require additional funding, something he acknowledged to be difficult to achieve.
No, he didn't.
He said in 60 Minutes Last, we don't need to worry about deficit spending.
Yeah, we bashed Bush over that, but no, no, no.
We don't need to worry about that now.
A deficit?
Just a deficit.
I don't care.
Doesn't matter.
As long as I'm building it up, it's fine because I'm spending the money morally.
So, very smart.
They think that's a waste of time.
Federal employees are going to vote for him anyway, but still, it's a pretty smart move.
My boss just asked me a question about that Obama letters story.
What cuts were there?
What job cuts were there in the Bush administration?
And I can't recall any.
Last I heard, the only job sector that showed growth was government employees.
Though, I didn't have a chance to mention this last week when I said the post office is going to lay off 40,000 people.
The post office is going to lay off 40,000.
Folks, that's not good for a host of reasons out there.
Speaking of layoffs, Citigroup, Citigroup going to shed another 53,000 jobs in the coming quarters as the banking giant struggles to steady itself after suffering massive losses from deteriorating debt.
Now, who up until August was running Citigroup?
Guy by the name of Robert Rubin, the smartest economic secretary of the treasury we ever had.
He worked with Bill Clinton.
Robert Rubin gave us the booming economy of the 90s when Clinton was off with Monica Lewinsky.
Otherwise, it was Clinton's economy.
So they hire Bob Rubin to go in there.
Citigroup's in big trouble.
And guess who is a prominent member of the Obama economic advisory team?
Robert Rubin.
It's a collection of old Clintonoids.
Back to audio soundbite number two, Michelle Norris, National Public Radio, on the Chris Matthews show on Sunday.
The first 60 days of a presidency are so important.
And that's why you hear Rush Lindbaugh saying these things on the radio.
It's why they're passing a baton to him, hoping that it's so heavy, that he's got so much on his plate in that starting date that he can't help but stumble.
And they know that that sets the tone for the rest of the administration.
Now, what she's saying, she's not talking about them passing the baton to me.
She means to Obama.
It's why they're passing a baton to him, hoping that it's so heavy that he's got so much in his plate and that starting gate that he can't help but stumble.
Now, this is Michelle Norris, NPR liberal, and she thinks that if I, the titular head of the opposition, successfully label Obama a failure, then he might be in trouble.
And this is part of politics.
You do try to define your opponent, campaign or otherwise, before he defines himself.
And Obama really hadn't defined himself because he's image.
Obama is symbolism.
He hasn't really done anything yet, but his presence has led to fear in the economic markets.
This is undeniable.
The prospect of his election also led to fear and resulted in market sell-offs.
There are a whole bunch of factors, but he certainly is one, and he remains one if people want to take whatever gains they have out of the market before this guy starts raising taxes on people.
And I don't look at this as defining Obama so much as telling the truth about him.
You know, we're into information, entertainment, and education here.
And since the drive-bys refused, remember Tom Broca on Charlie Rose?
Well, you really don't know much about him, Charlie.
Shut a couple books, couple speeches.
Yeah, you could have dispatched a reporter to find out.
You didn't want to find out anything about him, but we do.
We have.
So we're doing the job they used to do.
All right, let's go to the phones.
People have been patiently waiting.
We are going to start in Bridgewater, Virginia.
Hi, Danny.
Thank you for calling, and welcome to the EIB network.
It's a great pleasure to talk to you, sir.
Thank you.
I just want to make a quick comment.
I'm just kind of curious about what Obama is going to do with the Gitmo detainees.
I guess he's going to feather them out through the United States penal system, which is already overcrowded.
And I don't know, maybe they can get together and figure out some new fairy.
No, no, that's, see, that's the point here.
There are 250 reprobates down there.
I mean, and forget what you've heard about Gitmo and the media.
The media has led people to believe that these people are basically innocent, that they just look differently than we do.
And then they speak differently.
They might wear turbans and they might pray to Mecca and read the Koran, but these are people.
And then we've in paranoia and imperialism.
We have just snatched them away from their families and their homes.
These people are human debris.
They are dangerous.
They are murderers.
We have released people from Gitmo under pressure and recaptured them after they have committed battlefield crimes again.
They have rejoined the war on terror.
This is legion.
So during the campaign and even leading up to the campaign with, I guess it would include the campaign because it went on for two years, but the left in this country, along with Obama and Mrs. Clinton, too, were saying that the people down there, we need to close this place because it's destroying our image in the world, that nothing goes on except torture down there.
They didn't mention the fact that all, you know what waterboarding is?
Waterboarding is tricking people into thinking they're going to drown.
They don't drown, but you trick people into thinking they're going to drown.
You feel like it.
And the mastermind of 9-11 vomited everything, told us the truth about how it all happened.
And two or three of his colleagues also were convicted.
But this was portrayed as torture.
This was the United States as evil.
This was destroying our image in the world, along with Abu Ghraib and the hazing, the fraternity hazing photos over there.
And so the left, just attacking George Bush for anything, said, we've got to close it down.
We've got to close it down.
And furthermore, then the American left's trial bar got in action here.
The lawyers, and they said, you know, these people deserve constitutional rights.
We have held them illegally.
We've held them without charging them.
We have put them in squalid conditions.
And we had all the stories about flushing the Koran down the toilet, all that BS.
And that was from some guy at Newsweek's name escapes me right now.
Yeah, Issakov, the Lewinsky guy.
They spiked.
Storian Drudge got it, and the rest is history.
But all that stuff.
And so the American people don't like their country being hated.
They think that they don't like it.
And we need to repair our image.
We have a national psychosis problem.
And that is that way too many people give a damn what people think of us.
They give a damn what people think of them individually.
And I'm telling you, that is death.
That's destructive.
It just stunts your growth.
When you start giving a rat's rear in what people think of you and start living your life that way individually, it's bad enough.
But when the people of the country, when a majority of Americans start worrying what they think about us in these various hellholes that harbor people who want to kill us, then we're in trouble.
The Bush administration did not adequately defend itself, as they now admit, against these charges.
And so the clarion call began.
We've got to close Gitmo.
And because we've mistreated these poor people that we are holding down there, we need to give them trials.
Not military tribunals, but trials.
We need to introduce them to the U.S. court system in the United States and give them fair trials.
The world will respect us again because we are a beacon for that kind of thing.
Okay, so we got 250 of the dregs of society.
Now, Danny, you bring them up here and you put them in the American judicial system.
These are prisoners of war.
You can examine every aspect of their capture where you read your rights.
Can you imagine bringing the CIA?
The CIA is not going to go for this.
Can you imagine bringing the CIA in to testify as to how this prisoner happened to be captured?
Did you violate the privacy rights of the prisoner?
Did you violate any other human rights of the prisoner?
Have you mistreated the prisoner?
So the question of acquittals, I mean, you get an Oprah eyed bunch of people as a jury who already think the American system here is guilty for what they've done to these people.
And I guarantee you you're looking at acquittals.
So you acquit these people, and then what do you do with them?
The places they're from don't want them back.
No other country wants them.
Just turn them loose.
Let's say you bring one to Kansas City for trial or one St. Louis.
You release them there after they're.
I mean, they're acquitted.
They're not guilty.
What do you do with them?
I mean, after they've been acquitted, folks, I mean, and you can't say we'll ship them out of the country because they don't have papers.
Well, about 12 million others don't either.
And we're not shipping them out of the country, at least not in great numbers.
So what do you do?
So you're going to have these people running around?
So this is a serious component of closing down Gitmo.
What do you do with the people there?
And I'm telling you that there are a lot of leftists in this country who do not like this country, who want those people in this country for trials.
They want show trials.
They want the United States being found guilty of charging them illegally, capturing them illegally, torturing them.
There are a bunch of leftist radical lawyers in this country that come from the same school Obama did that would love for that to be the result because they know that there are a bunch of weepy-eyed journalists and mainstream media people who would then carry the water even further with documentaries.
How did this happen to our country?
Here is Ali Akbar Samazu Swahib Skyhook.
And we'll get documentaries on his poor family.
He came from disadvantaged circumstances.
He was caught up in a case of mistaken identity.
He professed his innocence throughout the many months of his illegal incarceration at the hands of George Bush and Rumsfeld and Kaney.
And the nation will be made to feel sorry for this guy and other compatriots.
While Rush Limbaugh profited from this with his Club Gitmo licensed merchandise.
And it'll show pictures of our t-shirts and caps and all the things that are in the EIB store for Club Gitmo.
Still a thriving business, by my dad.
And this will all happen.
And the American people feel good about their country again.
Why, here's old Sahib Skyhook finally released after months of torture and illegal imprisonment.
And we'll be loved again.
We will love the fact that people love us.
In the meantime, 250 people who have sworn an allegiance to kill as many Americans as possible will be out walking the streets.
And then Skyhook, after all this, remember now he's been acquitted in a U.S. court with constitutional rights.
What happens in that case?
That old Sahib Skyhook sues.
He sues for damages, lost wages, whatever.
It's economic duress and stress, loss of conjugal relations with his wives, all this stuff.
And of course, our oprahized jury will be so damn weepy and sorry that they'll give this guy the moon because the government will be paying and the government has an endless supply of money.
Why, look, we're bailing this guy out and this person out of that business out.
It's only fair.
It's only right that we treat these people properly.
So the very people that want to create more 9-11s are going to be paid to do it by us.
We can call this, in fact, if this happens, if Obama shuts down Club Gitlo, I'm going to give it a name.
And we're going to call it the terrorist bailout plan.
And we're essentially going to bail these people out.
In fact, we'll probably make a settlement with them before any lawsuit.
Here's a lump sum.
We'll call Osama bin Laden and say, well, this handle it.
Or if he's dead, which I happen to believe, I still don't think Obama's been, Osama's been alive all these years, but regardless, give it to Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Or better yet, call up Mahmoud Ahmadinezya to see if he'll take the money and have his nuclear program go away or whatever.
But look, we're exaggerating in some ways here, but this is what's going to happen.
If they bring him here for trial, I don't know how you find them guilty.
Because the left is going to give them the best defense, lawyers they can find, and lawyers will take the case.
These are not going to be pro bono cases.
The government will pay legal expenses because of the guilt George Bush made us all feel and so forth.
So it is a crucial thing.
Rush, why bring them here for trial?
Why just close it and ship it?
Nobody wants them.
You can't just send these guys off to a country that doesn't want them.
Well, how come they're where we don't want?
Because we have the responsibility of the world as the superpower on our shoulders to lead in this regard.
These people, they don't just kill Americans.
They've killed, maimed tons of people, lots of people.
So we can't just release them.
But more than that, and don't doubt me, as extreme and odd as this sounds, I guarantee you there are people like Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright and Tom Hayden and the guys from the 60s who would love for these guys to be brought to trial and win and have the U.S. shamed and have to pay off.
And Obama's out there guaranteeing to close the place down.
And if he can't just send them on a boat someplace, you have to bring them here for trial if you close it down.
Because see, the basis for closing it down is these people are being held without charges.
But they're not U.S. constitutional rights-possessing citizens.
But we want to transfer those rights to them for the purposes of this trial.
I've got to take a quick break.
We'll be back.
Ardol Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, whose state is in debt to the tune of $28 billion and once part of the federal bailout, has said in a story of the Los Angeles Times that the Republican Party must abandon some of its core conservative foundations and embrace spending programs popular with the electorate.
I think the important thing for the Republican Party is now to also look at other issues that are very important for this country and not to get stuck in ideology.
And he's basically saying that conservatism and Republicanism will not save the Republican Party.
Well, wrong about conservatism, but he's dead on about Republicanism.
We just tried it, governor.
We just tried your prescription.
McCain was going to buy up everybody's bad mortgage.
We were targeting a Walmart voter.
We were targeting the Hispanic voter.
We were targeting independents and Democrats and moderates and all that.
Look at where it got us.
We didn't win.
We've already tried it, Governor, and it doesn't work.
We haven't spoken of this much, but it's going to happen.
Some of these meetings I predicted between various groups of conservatives to plot the recovery of the conservative movement.
What they really are is for these groups to try to come up with the person that they think is going to be the leader and put this all back together.
And when this stuff starts getting hot and heavy, then we'll discuss it in great detail.
Back to the audio soundbite.
Speaking of who's going to be the next leader, let me tell you what the drive-bys say.
Chris Matthews show on Sunday, talking with Howard Feynman of Newsweek, Aaron Burnett, CNBC.
Matthew says, who's going to be the voice of the opposition in the next couple of months?
Is it going to be Polenti?
Is it going to be Palin?
Is it going to be McCain?
Is it going to be Jindal?
Well, it's going to be Rush Limbaugh and what's left of the conservative commentariat.
So the ticked off voices.
The ticked off voices, and Rush will be the guy.
I agree.
I would say Rush Limbaugh.
We know he likes Governor Jindal.
The drive-bys are convinced that it is, well, Dawn, you're smiling for the first time today.
Maybe Snurdley's everybody's boss today.
Have you been too bossy with her?
Bob Shrum.
Last Monday, New York City Harold Evans moderated a discussion of the role of the media in the 2008 campaign.
One of the panelists was Democrat strategerist Bob Schrum.
And Harry Evans says, was Senator McCain smart or not going to Sarah Palin to appeal to the base?
It was a disaster and one of his biggest mistakes.
I do not think this was a year when there was going to be a base election.
I think if you had a base strategy, you were doomed.
He should have, if he couldn't pick Lieberman, he should have picked Tom Ridge.
Pennsylvania would have been in play.
He would have been criticized by Rush Limbaugh.
There would have been a revolt on the floor of the Republican Convention, assuming he could have overcome it.
He would have become a genuine independent Maverick.
I just love these Democrats telling us what we have to do to win.
And Shrum, you basically told McCain what he ended up doing.
He may not have picked Lieberman and had a floor fight at the convention, but he was.
He didn't govern and campaign as a conservative.
And I'll tell you, these people, they are lying through their teeth knowingly about Sarah Palin being a drag.
Not only exit polls and polls taken since the election prove this.
She was down in Miami late last week for the Republican Governors Association.
She owned it.
She owned it.
And in fact, and I am won't to mention any names, but she so owned it that others in attendance cut short her press conference.
I'm telling you, folks, Sarah Palin is the most popular Republican governor among the American people, among voters and so forth.
And there's some stuffed shirts, blue blood country club types in the Republican Party that do not like it at all.
And they're trying to destroy her right now.
It's just like this babe at NPR saying, yeah, Limbaugh, if he can define Obama here in the first six days, can hurt him.
In my case, I'm not lying about Obama.
I'm just telling you who he is and sharing with you some of my expectations of what he's going to do based on what I know about him and his past and who has influenced him and so forth, because the media is not doing it.
But in Sarah Palin's case, it's not just Trump and the Democrats.
There are a lot of Republicans that are trying to destroy her.
All these leaks about the claws and that stuff, full-fledged lies.
And we know it's lies.
And we know that Carl Cameron sopped it up and spit it out eagerly.
There are a lot of people threatened by her because she is effective.
She connects with people.
And the Democrats don't want to deal with her.
I guarantee you the Obama campaign was more worried about her than they were McCain.
