Time Text
Welcome back, folks.
Great to have you here.
As always, Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing almost all of the audience expectations.
There's still some malcontents out there.
I just got an email.
Let me find it here.
Hang on here, Bubby.
Let's see. Let's see.
Oh, yeah, here it is.
It's from a 24-7 subscriber by the name of Lynn Gallo.
And I think that she works in Treasury Secretary Paulson's office.
She said, today you are being very annoying.
You've now spent two hours on New York and the proposed tax increases.
I have not spent two hours on that, but regardless, we get it.
Would you please move on to Caroline Kennedy?
Or for that matter, anything else?
I have not lost my place on Caroline Kennedy, by the way.
That would be, this is Lynn Gallo from Edison, New Jersey, a 24-7 subscriber.
I understand people being irritated out there, but okay, we'll move on to it.
Let's do the Caroline Kennedy stuff because I've been promising it here since the beginning of the program.
Caroline Kennedy, because there's controversy here over Senate seats, both in Chicago and New York now.
Caroline Kennedy has avoided politics most of her life.
She has yet to utter a word publicly about her interest in running for Hillary C. She's not yet to run for it.
Everybody knows you buy these seats.
In a sign of the enduring power of the Kennedy mystique, even her second-hand statements of interest have spooked the rest of the crowded field.
Before she edged into the picture, Governor David Patterson, who, by the way, has raised taxes ridiculously here in New York, in case you haven't heard.
David Patterson had been considering about a dozen other potential contenders, most prominent among them, Kennedy's former relative by marriage, Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo, the son of Mario the Pious Cuomo, is the state's attorney general.
Others who were said to be interested include Nassau County Executive Tom Suazi and Representatives Kirsten Gillibrand, Carolyn Maloney, and Brian Higgins.
Then came Kennedy, and suddenly the others seemed to shrink in stature.
Representative Jose Serrano from the Bronx, which is where Colin Powell's from.
Now, he's not vying for the piece, and he doesn't want it, but Serrano is sympathetic to his fellow lawmakers who are being eclipsed by Kennedy.
Jose Serrano said, what are we, chopped liver?
Yes, sir, you are.
And it's time you realize that just as the black clergy in Illinois has suddenly awakened and realized what they think is going on in Illinois is that all this is about finding a white person to fill Obama's seat.
That's what they're saying in Illinois.
This is to keep the Kennedy mystique alive.
They think, my God, a Kennedy, how do I look like I'm not happy about a Kennedy?
He said, meaning I'm a Democrat.
I can't act like I don't like this.
It's not logical.
There's a lot of emotion in this.
Emotion about the good old days and the Kennedys in Camelot.
Now, how can we fight that?
Still, ever since her cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr., confirmed her interest some 10 days ago, she quickly became the top contender, even as some criticized her as an amateur and compared her to the Jennifer Lopez of politics.
That was Gary Ackerman, former Clinton supporter, said in a radio interview he didn't know what Kennedy's qualifications were, except that she had name recognition, but so does J-Lo.
Kennedy got a boost Tuesday from Senate Majority Leader Dingy Harry Reed, who told a local Las Vegas TV program face-to-face that he had already called Patterson and told him he liked her for the seat.
I think it'd be a tremendous thing.
I think Caroline Kennedy would be perfect.
Here is Dingy Harry on a cable news channel face-to-face.
Seven-second little bite.
We have a lot of stars from New York.
Bobby Kennedy, Hillary Clinton.
I think Caroline Kennedy would be perfect.
Yeah, there's a lot of stars in the Senate.
I'll never forget.
You remember Andrew Kumo married Carrie Kennedy.
I'll never forget this.
You remember, I don't know what year it was.
It's some time ago.
They've been divorced for a while now.
They had a couple of children.
Folks, I will never forget the media when it was announced that Carrie Kennedy was going to marry Andrew Kumo.
I mean, it was going to be the second Immaculate Conception.
It just, by the way, did you notice who Dingy Harry left out in his list of stars from New York?
He said, Bobby Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Caroline Kennedy.
He didn't mention Chuck Yu Schumer.
Hmm.
Here's David Patterson on Monday at a press conference about Caroline Kennedy.
She told me she was interested in the position.
She realized that it was not a campaign, but she was talking to other people because she thought that a number of people she felt should know that she's interested in the position.
She'd like at some point to sit down and tell me what she thinks her qualifications are.
Really?
Is that going to matter at the end of the day?
What are her qualifications?
She's a dilettante.
She's a dilettante.
She's a debutante.
I don't know the woman, but I have to think that there's some people in the Senate just as unqualified as she is.
The difference is they did get elected meant Karen Tumulty, Time magazine, is Caroline Kennedy ready for the Senate?
Big long story.
I didn't read it, so I don't know what Karen Tumblety thinks.
I guarantee you, if you're in the drive-bys and you say no, she's not ready for the Senate, you will soon not be respected in the drive-bys.
Also, today's show today, this is Reverend Sharpton weighing in.
To try and act like she's not qualified because she wasn't part of the old girl or old boys network on Capitol Hill, I think that is what the American public just voted against in November.
Yeah, in a way.
Well, what he's saying is the American people voted for somebody, had no business being elected.
They elected somebody with no experience.
And Reuters, the AP, confirmed this for us on Monday, no experience.
And she didn't have any either.
And Reverend Sharpton is saying a new trend here is in the making.
Not part of the old girl or old boys network.
It's what the American public just voted for.
Because Obama is part of the old boys network.
That's the whole thing.
Al Sharpton here making a racial comment.
Here's Gary Ackerman on December the 8th.
I don't know what Carolyn Kennedy's qualifications are, except that she has name recognition, but so does J-Lo.
What is interesting about this to me, the same thing I've said earlier about watching what's going on at Blago situation in Illinois, savor this, because you've got Democrats with the long knives out for each other.
This normally does not happen, but you've got Democrats trying to destroy each other.
Now, I can tell you what Caroline Kennedy's qualifications are.
Are you interested?
You want to hear what they are?
She's JFK's daughter.
She is an Obama team leader and was involved in selecting his vice president.
She is a woman.
She is rich.
She is thin.
That's really important when you're rich.
If she was fat, it'd be a problem.
When you're thin, rich, then you are truly sophisticated.
You are a, she doesn't, she's not one of these ladies who lunch.
And we don't know about her shopping tendencies, but she's rich.
She's thin.
And of course, there is the Camelot legacy.
And there is also this.
There is the illness of Senator Kennedy.
And the illness of Senator Kennedy, I think a lot of Democrats say that the Senate's not the Senate without a Kennedy in it.
And so the number one qualification is her last name, her maiden name.
That's the number one qualification.
There's Anthony Weiner, who was on Today Show today.
He's not happy.
I'm glad she's decided she's interested, but this isn't exactly the kind of job you just submit your resume for.
But it most certainly is.
Resume and blank check.
We all know how this happens.
Last night on Fox News Channel, America's News Headquarters, Democrat strategicist Howard Wolfson said this about Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.
I think she's certainly qualified to be senator.
She's as qualified as many senators we've elected.
I thought those comments comparing her to J-Lo were outrageous.
They were inappropriate.
They were wrong.
Nobody should be doing that.
Whether she'll get appointed is an open question.
I don't know.
There are other good people who are interested, but she's clearly qualified.
Make no mistake.
Wolfson just dissed J-Lo.
Right?
I mean, by saying, to compare Caroline Kennedy to J-Lo, that's outrageous.
It's not outrageous.
If anything, it's funny.
And the reason it's funny is because he's got a little bit of a grain of truth in there.
He was talking about, Ackerman was talking about name recognition.
Now, the drive-bys, when they hear this, or if they haven't heard this, we're going to go back September 24th, 1957.
NBC's Look Here, there was a show in 1957 called Look Here.
The host was Martin Ogronski, and he interviewed then-Senator John Kennedy.
And Martin Ogronsky said, if you were to have a son, would you encourage a political career for him?
Yes, and I hope if I had a daughter, I might encourage her to play some part.
I don't know.
I don't think this should be confined to men only.
Well, that seals the deal, does it not?
Because he did have a daughter, and he doesn't think it should be an old boys' club.
He's agreeing with Sharpton here, even though he knew before he even knew there was a Sharpton.
But, I mean, that seals the deal.
He wanted to have a daughter, wants her in politics, too.
When that gets around, it's a fair company.
Hi, how are you?
Welcome back, Rush Liv Boy and the EIB Network.
Folks, I have to tell you something.
I'm actually a little ashamed that I didn't know this.
On Monday, I told a story of going to Dallas over the weekend for the Giants Cowboys.
And that Al Michaels and I and Linda Michaels and the lovely and gracious Catherine.
And I went to Nick and Sam's for dinner on the recommendation of a friend of mine who was fishing down in the Caribbean superpower, Belize.
And it's a steakhouse, and I loved it.
I thought it was fabulous.
And I told a story to my buddy Dan Cook, who said recommended play said, it's not Allen Brothers, but it's pretty good.
Well, it turns out it is Allen Brothers.
Allen Brothers supplies Nick and Sam's.
And I wished I had known this at the time.
And it's on their website, the steakhouses that they supply, because everybody was just raving about the beef.
So it was Allen Brothers at Nick and Sam's.
This is, see, this is the point.
This is why I always rave about Allen Brothers because when you go out to eat, how many of you, when you go out to eat, wish food could taste that way at home?
Well, of course, one of the reasons is chefs and experts and so forth and so on.
Another thing is the quality of the food, and some of it you just can't buy at a grocery store.
Some of it's just not available.
Allen Brothers is one of those places.
So what a pleasant surprise.
And I was happy to have the opportunity to come here and to correct this.
The reason I know this, I looked it up on the website, absteaks.com.
You should have seen the Bone In Prime Rib.
The bone, the bone was 16 inches long.
They had to position the plate on a table so that guests were not impaled on the bone of the prime rib.
Mark in Chula Vista, California.
Great to have you on the EIB network, sir.
Hello.
Hello.
Yes, and Merry Christmas to you, sir.
Same to you.
Hey, I just want to get back to this Time magazine piece about the man of the year.
One of them that you failed to, and of course you can't mention everything, was they were talking about that they were going to maybe consider the economy.
Now, how sick is that that they want to bless the bad economy to get their Messiah elected?
I mean, come on.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I read what Time said about Obama and what they were considering naming the economy as the man of the year because it led to the creation of Obama.
Person of the year.
Probably sorry, that's right, person of the year.
Look, it's the drive-bys, Mark.
They are so distant from the rest of us in the real world.
And this episode illustrates it.
I understand, is like Barbara Walters and her top 10 most fascinating people.
If you're going to do that, how do you not put Obama number one?
I mean, it's historical.
First black president in the country.
And I'm sure that's the way Time magazine is looking at it.
How do you not put Obama there?
It's not as though Obama won it.
You don't dare not make him number one.
But then to go out and say that our Person of the Year award, as it turns out, was created for people like Obama.
They think now that Obama has taken them back to their roots on this.
But it hasn't.
Their long-held criteria and definition for man of the year.
I mean, Hitler was man of the year once.
Stalin was man of the year.
Now, they hated Hitler, loved Stalin.
But people shake things up and do, I mean, have the most impact on things.
And I don't know that you can say that about Obama yet, other than the historical nature.
Well, I have no problem about him being elected.
I don't care if he's black, white, purple, or brown.
But personally, I don't think he's qualified.
But I guess the people have spoken.
I just thought it was really a sad commentary on what Time magazine is, that they want to consider the suffering that people are going through in this economy.
And to think that that's a way and a means for Obama to get elected, I thought that was pretty sick.
Yeah.
Well, in their mind, whatever it takes to get Obama elected, especially a plunging economy.
Like I said, Mark, at the top of the program, I think, I don't know how I could not be man of the year.
And a very simple reason.
No matter what happened in this election, I'm in it.
And now I got Colin Powell if the Republican Party should fire me when they've never listened to me.
You've got every political establishment inside Washington trying to get rid of me.
What media types asking me about what last night?
No, Nobody asked me at Colin Powell last night at the White House.
Nobody asked me.
Mort Kondracki, I ran into Morton Kondracki, who, of course, is one of the Fox All-Stars on Britt Hume's show, and he came up before I even said a word to him.
He said, I didn't say, I didn't say that the Republican Party should fire you.
I didn't say that.
And I said, Mort, I don't care.
You say what you want.
I smile.
I said, it's good to see you.
It doesn't matter to me what you say.
I said, Mort, the ridiculous part of this, though, is the Republican Party has not been listening to me for two years or six years.
And he looked at me, Morton, kind of incredulous, like, oh, I never thought of that.
Do you not realize how on a different plane, on a different world must you be to say that I am responsible for McCain's loss and for the 06 midterm congressional losses?
How can I be responsible for this?
If I'm responsible for it, I am man of the year.
The Democrats want to get rid of me, the fairness doctrine, the Republicans want to fire me from the party when I'm not even in the party.
I am the architect not only of Obama's victory, but of McCain's defeat.
And I'm not even a politician.
And I don't even live in Washington.
This is power and influence.
This is shake, rattle, and roll.
This is shake them up big time.
And Mort said, and he was smiling, laughing the whole time.
I listen to you every day.
I listen to you every day.
He didn't mean any animosity by it.
I said, I know it was Powell that read what you wrote and thought you meant something else.
But I don't, it doesn't matter, Mort.
I mean, it's a lot of noise out there.
You got to say things to cut through it.
I understand that.
But understand, if the Republicans had listened to me, Obama would not be president.
An FBI informant, I don't know if this is Jesse Jackson Jr. or not.
An FBI informant has told the feds that Blago, Rod Blagojevich, was a gambling impresario before he was in politics.
He is accused of paying street tax.
The Chicago mob, ABC Eyeball News Chicago, has learned that an attorney who went undercover for the FBI in the late 1980s says he told federal authorities years ago about wrongdoing by Blago.
His name is Robert Cooley.
Cooley was a criminal defense lawyer in Chicago in the late 80s who became one of the most potent witnesses against Chicago corruption, testifying for federal prosecutors in cases that resulted in dozens of convictions.
Clearly not enough convictions.
Cooley says that before Blagoevich got into politics, he was a bookmaker on the north side who regularly paid the Chicago mob to operate.
When I was working with government wearing a wire, I reported I observed Rod, the present governor, running a gambling operation out in the western suburbs.
He was paying a street tax to the mob out there.
Now, they're really piling on this guy now.
But what's so unusual about this?
I think, I wish I could remember who said this.
Crime, politics, it's all the same.
Maybe if I can't remember who said it, I will take credit.
Hundreds of thousands of children in this country do not learn and eventually drop out of scruple.
This is, yes, really, it's a shocker.
So many things we're learning in this country after the election of the chosen one.
This is A.P. Obama.
Oh, have you seen, this is hilarious.
AP writers are on a byline strike.
Do you know what that means?
They're refusing to submit their bylines with their stories, and they think management is going to care about that.
I don't know.
I think they want assurances they're not going to get canned or they want raises or that they're going to be protected during any reorganization.
Can you imagine the audacity?
Management probably saying, fine, our readers don't care who you are anyway.
All they care is it says AP.
You want to keep your byline off the story?
Hell's Bells.
Go for it.
Not pressuring up.
What kind of egomaniac do you have to be to go on a byline strike?
Do a real strike.
Don't submit any stories.
Think of how you would improve the country.
What do you mean it's because of me?
That's right.
I hadn't thought of that.
I am the only one who does mention who writes these stories.
I do credit the writers.
Liz Sedata Doty, Liz Sadoti, whoever they are.
I happen to mention their Nedra Pickler.
Iron Fournier.
That's right.
We've made him famous here.
And so now they think it's my fault.
They think names matter because of me.
You're right, Snerdley.
It's another reason why I qualify as man of the year.
I am now intimately involved in the way AP contract negotiations are taking place with disgruntled employees.
Anyway, I've not lost my place here on the school story.
The fact that thousands of children and this hundreds of thousands of children in this country do not learn and eventually drop out of school, that's an assertion by AP.
That is now Arnie Duncan's problem.
Arnie Duncan, Barack Obama's choice for Secretary of Education, confronted the challenge on a smaller scale as head of Chicago Public Schools.
For the past seven years, he managed to raise test scores and graduation rates, and he improved the quality of teaching, but still the problem's not solved.
Look, my congratulations to Arnie Duncan and all that, but I know for a fact.
No, I do not know for a fact.
I, using my intelligence, guided by experience, feel very confident that the real education secretary will be William Ayers.
We just won't know it.
We won't see it.
But William Ayres will be the primary educational advisor to Barack Obama.
The problem is not solved.
Arnie Duncan admitted the problem of students not learning in school is ongoing.
Obama acknowledged as much Tuesday as he announced his selection of Duncan.
He said, Look, we're not going to transform every school overnight.
It is tough facing this new reality.
We're not going to fix the economy.
We're not going to cause sea levels to recede.
It's going to get worse.
All these things.
We're not going to transform hope and change overnight.
Obama said, even with him in the White House, our schools will continue to suck.
Now, this is not what people voted for.
People voted for the waving essentially of a magic wand out there for all these problems to be fixed.
Here's Elijah in Dallas.
Great to have you on the EIB network, Elijah.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It's an honor to speak with you.
I had some feedback from your caller from last hour about the taxing of radios and TVs in Germany.
Yes.
I have personal experience in the United Kingdom.
They have a similar system.
And what they do is they actually have these little white vans that drive around in the dark of night.
They have equipment in the back of them that can detect the unique oscillating signatures from TVs and radios up to about a quarter mile.
And they just drive by each house, detect how many TVs and radios are inside.
And if you haven't paid your taxes on that, then they send you what I imagine is a substantial fine in the mail.
You have got to be kidding.
No, I imagine they drive in the middle of the night because they're not too popular.
I sure wouldn't like to see those driving up and down my neighborhood.
Now, wait just a second here, Elijah.
Do these radios and TVs have to be on in order for these oscillations to be detected by government authorities in their little white vans?
No, they do not.
They do have to have power, so they have to be plugged in, but they do not have to be currently running.
How many people today in the UK or anywhere have a, well, you know what?
It's probably more than I think.
I was going to have a radio that's plugged in.
Back in the old days, it'll, you know, this super heterodyne six transistor thing you could take along with.
I guess a lot of clock radios and so forth in people's homes.
Television's obviously plugged in.
So really, I would think it require a whole lot of little white vans running around neighborhoods at 2 or 3 in the morning to detect these oscillations to see if the citizens of the UK are lying to them about the number of radios and TVs in their domiciles.
I'm sure it's a very intricately woven bureaucratic system they have over there.
But from what I understand, they charge them annually.
So you would only have to go through each neighborhood every year, and that's assuming 100% coverage.
But I'm sure that they have their ways set up, and I'm sure there's all kinds of ways around it.
I would just personally build a one-inch thick lead shield around my TVs, but that's me.
You realize they drive by a house typical of where you would live, Elijah.
I can sort of get an idea of your economic circumstance by talking to you.
And if your house reports no televisions in there, you're going to get a knock on the door.
Yeah, I imagine I probably would.
That's one of the reasons why I live in Dallas.
There's a lot more Attention paid to individual freedoms and liberties there than some of the other places.
Well, I know, especially Texas.
Yes, that's right.
Texas is that way.
I actually think, ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to shock you.
I don't want to surprise you, but I actually think we already have a network of authorities running around monitoring the usage of electronic devices and, in fact, perhaps even in some cases, monitoring the content of the usage of those devices.
If you remember this fun-loving grandparent couple, the Martins in Texas, who were on the way to the mall in Jacksonville, and they happened to, like we all do, turn on their cell phone receiver radio in their Cadillac and they started monitoring other people's cell phone calls, just as you and I do.
I mean, this is common for 75-year-old people on the way to get Christmas shopping done.
And they happened to overhear a conversation between Newton Gingrich and John Bader, and then they thought they were on to something historic and they didn't know what to do with it and decided off the top of their heads to call Baghdad Jim McDermott, who then released a transcript because the, of course, the tape of the call was sent to McDermott.
He got it transcribed, and they sent that to the New York Times, and it was published and so forth.
So it's just like they're saying about Bernie Madoff.
Could he have possibly been acting alone here?
This was so massive.
No one person could possibly have pulled all this off.
And in the case of people monitoring our electronic devices, aside from the NSA, is it just one grandparent couple in Florida driving around doing this?
Jesse Jackson Jr.'s new defense in the Blagojevich mess is that he was a snitch.
Shortly after his 2002 election, Governor Blagojevich told Jesse Jackson Jr. that he didn't appoint the congressman's wife for lottery director because Jesse Jackson Jr. had refused to make a $25,000 donation to the governor's campaign.
That's why she's not getting a job.
A person quoted Blago as saying, the person, a Jackson associate, who was interviewed Tuesday by A.P. Obama, spoke on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing federal investigation.
And it says here that Jesse Jackson Jr. has shared information with federal prosecutors about public corruption during the past several years, including information about Blago and others.
He must have nothing useful.
If he'd been snitching on corruption in Chicago for a number of years and all has happened is corruption's gotten worse, then what's the value of his information?
Kathy in Asheville, North Carolina.
Great to have you with us on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Meghados, and Merry Christmas.
Same to you.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, early.
We share a birthday, so I know yours is coming up.
I have a comment that I believe is rather simple, possibly, and rather obvious, but it concerns people.
Now, wait a second.
Are you sure you want to waste your call on something simple?
Well, I hope you'll let me make it.
I think that, in my opinion, the recent comments in the news that the Democrats are making about her, including the comment that she's a star, have absolutely nothing to do with what qualifications anyone has.
About whom are we speaking here?
Caroline Kennedy Jr.?
Yes, Caroline, yes.
Caroline Kennedy, I don't think it has anything to do with any qualifications that anyone has for this seat except just what a candidate can do for the Democratic Party, not what they can do for the American people.
And I think that's two things, who can help them to retain power and retain it the longest, and who can bring in the most money for the party.
And I think because of her name and her name only, that they therefore consider her to be a star.
It's very interesting you bring this up because I'd have to study this a little bit, but what does she know about raising money?
She does run some charitable foundations.
She runs around, you know, asks people to give frogs for laboratories and junior high dissections and so forth, that kind of stuff.
But raising money at the county fair, running a Senate campaign, what kind of experience does she have doing that?
I don't think she has to have experience.
I think she has to have the Kennedy name.
I think that's all it takes.
I understand that there is some sentiment with the illness of Senator Kennedy, Edward Kennedy, that there be.
I think just like the clergy in Illinois, there must always be a black in the Senate seat that Obama's vacating, there must also likewise be a Kennedy in the U.S. Senate.
Well, I think her name recognition alone and the fact that she's known as a socialite, I thought I had also heard some things in the news.
No, no, she's not a socialite.
She doesn't do that.
She's a dilettante.
There is a difference.
She's not a socialite.
She's not a lady who lunches.
Okay.
Perhaps I'm wrong about that.
I guess maybe I'm cynical about the party, the Democratic Party.
No, I think you're right about that.
I think you're right.
It's about power.
It's about power, image, all of the Democrats.
No question about that.
It's just that, you know, she's really, she's not that public a person.
I don't know that she has to be, in my opinion.
You know, the name itself, I think unfortunately that the American people will just ride right along with that.
At least the Democrats in the state of New York would.
Oh, the state of New York loves carpetbaggers.
I mean, at least one of those Senate seats in New York has been held by a carpetbagger ever since Bobby Kennedy.
You know, so this is just in the Kennedy tradition, a carpetbag.
Hillary's a carpetbagger.
She's from Illinois, but she's not Chicago, Park Ridge, by way of Yale, Wellesley, and Arkansas.
Right.
Well, unfortunately, I don't think any selection they're going to make has anything to do with qualifications to aid the American people.
I think it has only to do with those two things.
No question about that.
So you think it's automatic she's going to get it?
No, not necessarily, but I think they're looking for someone who will do those two things for the party, and that's the only qualifications anyone needs to have.
True.
But it really is up to Governor Patterson and what kind of intimidation can be brought to bear on him to make this happen.
I'm glad you called out there, Kathy.
I've been to Asheville, North Carolina.
I love visiting the Biltmore State.
Yes, beautiful.
We'd love to have you anytime.
Thanks very much.
I appreciate that.
By the way, I want to thank all of you people out there who have expressed concern over my health in returning to New York.
Seems like every time I come here, I end up getting sick, getting a cold of some kind.
And I want to assure you, such will not be the case because I'm leaving here in about 20 minutes.
I will not have been here long.
Plus, used Zycam as a preventative.
I'm not going to take the chance because whatever I had two weeks ago, which was not a cold, was as devastating.
And I'm cold, so I'm going to become a baby with the things anyway.
So I'm safe.
I'm good.
Everything's cool.
Quick timeout.
We'll be right back after this.
Don't go away.
It is kind of interesting, though, folks.
It's quite illustrative to sit here and have ostensibly serious conversation about the qualifications of Caroline Kennedy, which are zip zero nada.
I mean, let's be honest.
There are none in the real sense.
