Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Fantastic, ladies and gentlemen.
Fantastic.
The BAMSTER's hope and change are evaporating in a steam cloud over the U.S. Capitol.
Roland Burris, subject of a piece today in the Chicago Tribune.
The headline of the piece in the Chicago Tribune today.
Filling Obama's seat becomes test of authentic blackness.
The drive-by media once again exploring the concept of authentic blackness.
Greetings, my friends.
Great to have you here.
Rush Limbaugh back for day two after the vacation.
We're here at the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
If you want to appear on the program today, Roland Burris, duly appointed by Governor Goboy of Blogoyovich in Illinois, shows up in the U.S. Senate.
The Secretary of the Senate turns him away.
Roland Burris, duly appointed.
I mean, Blogoevich is out there acting as governor.
He's signing legislation.
He's holding meetings.
He's working.
So why can't he appoint the next Senator from Illinois?
Democrats are on thin ice, ladies and gentlemen.
Constitutionally here, a lot of legal scholars are suggesting that Harry Reid and the Democrats are on thin ice.
What a picture.
Ladies and gentlemen, this morning, we didn't, of course, the cameras are not allowed where the confrontation took.
Well, it wasn't a confrontation, but uh Roland Burris shows up, presents his credentials.
Uh the Secretary of the Senate says these are not valid, uh, and sends him packing back down the steps.
Um and as my as Mo Lane, who uh is a is a blogger at redstate.com, wondered last night, even if they let him in, will they let him use the water fountains and the restroom inside the Senate?
Folks, this is an amazing picture.
It is an amazing picture.
You had Roland Burris, you had two of his attorneys, all three of them African American.
You had a troop of people walking from the Capitol to the site of a press conference just down the street with the Capitol in the background, and it it it looked it looked just it's uh it's mind-boggling.
A white Democrat Senate leader, Dinji Harry, refusing to seat.
Hell Denny's would seat the guy, but Harry Reid won't, refusing to seat.
Roland Burris and his contingent of African American supporters.
What pictures can you imagine if Dingy Harry were a Republican?
Ladies and gentlemen.
It is great to have you here.
Uh, Senator Durbin, by the way, offered uh his office to Roland Burris so that Burris would not have to go to Denny's.
The uh Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has refused to sign uh the papers making all this uh Jesse White.
The Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White.
I missed that.
Uh we could not write the script for this.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has refused to sign, saying the appointment's invalid because of the federal corruption investigation surrounding Blogoyevitch, and what prosecutors describe as his efforts to sell the Senate seat vacated by the BAS.
President elect Barack.
Oh, by the way, folks, I got a whole stack of stuff here today.
It's just so sad for the BAMster.
It's just so sad.
All of these distractions.
And there's a headline in the uh Washington, maybe it's a Wall Street Journal, I'm not sure which.
Uh uh Democrat factions could stall Obama agenda.
Aww.
And it's all such BS.
It is there's not a word of this that is true.
I will analyze this in great detail as the program unfolds before your eyes and ears today.
Meanwhile, back to Senator Turbin from Illinois.
He said Roland Burris is welcome to Washington.
He's welcome to come to my office.
But he couldn't possibly be anticipating any official action until at least his papers are filed.
So Dick Turbin wanted to make sure that Burris did not have to go to Denny's to get seated.
Offered him his office.
I don't think Burris took him up on it.
Burris went out and did his press conference.
Uh, a couple little items here before we get back to this.
So I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this.
We we did the story yesterday about uh sea ice, Arctic sea ice, identical in amount to what it was in 1979.
There are a bunch of people reporting on this today.
We were on the cutting edge yesterday about this.
And the real question is uh, ladies and gentlemen, since we live in an era of myths, we live in a sitcom here.
Where are the drive-by media poking cameras and microphones in Al Gore's face and asking him to explain this?
All of these fabrications and lies, part of the hoax that the Arctic ice was melding.
Oh, whoa, was this 1979, by the way, folks, was the year that both Time magazine and Newsweek ran cover stories on the coming global cooling.
We had this yesterday as well, too.
Now it's official.
Joseph Kennedy announced yesterday he's laying off 20 employees and temporarily halting most of his winter fuel assistant programs due to sit go yanking 100 million dollars in support for the nonprofit Citizens Energy, which Joe Kennedy runs.
I'm very hopeful we can turn this around, said Joe Kennedy, who vowed to try to meet with SitGo to um pitch keeping the project.
He uh urged people to directly write to sit go to appeal to start the program again, which was supposed to officially begin yesterday.
Now sit go is Hugo Chavez.
Hugo Chavez has uh is cut off the program.
Price of oil is such that he can't afford to give it away anymore.
He doesn't have to do the PR now that he's got Obama in there, he's got a so he doesn't have to make an idiot out of uh out of Bush.
And so the um we're we're learning here that the uh so-called compassion behind the move from Hugo Chavez last year was not compassion at all.
It was a political move to embarrass George W. Bush.
And uh now that Bush is uh effectively gone.
No need for Hugo to give away the store.
At a press conference yesterday at Citizens United South Boston headquarters, employees who will lose their jobs stood in back of the stunned Kennedy as he announced Chavez's move.
Kennedy said that Chavez's support amounted to about 90% of the funding for citizens fuel assistant program nationwide.
Believe this.
Joe Kennedy, you know Joe Kennedy, one of the famous Kennedys, just Joe Kennedy, you know, Joe Kennedy the third.
Um he said, you know, that that Hugo Chavez, he's got this big program, you know, to provide heat assistance, oil and heat assistance for the poor, you know, and the the the poor.
Uh Boston and elsewhere.
And you know, he said that that uh uh he was doing this in the goodness of his heart.
And now look at what happens here.
Joe Kennedy admits here, you know that that mean uh um you know this is it's it's incredible 90% of Joe Kennedy's program was, you know, funded by Hugo Chavez.
And when Hugo Chavez, you know, goes south, he already is south, but he goes further south, and you know, when he yanks the oil and the heating oil from from, you know, Joe Kennedy, the third, is Joe Kennedy's second, and then is Joe Kennedy.
This is a I mean, this is a major, major cut.
Joe Kennedy is for the first time a liberal democrat, you know, has experienced a a genuine cut here, 90%, which means you know that Joe Kennedy would not have even been in business without Hugo Chavez.
Uh, just amazing.
One other story here, uh, ladies and gentlemen, uh, before we hit the break here and come back to the sad story of a decent honorable legitimate Senate appointee from Illinois being denied his rightful place by white power brokers in the United States Senate, Roland Burris.
This headline.
Smoking rooms eliminated following erection.
I don't care what the story is.
I just had to share the headline with you.
Back after this, folks.
Don't go away.
Your guiding light, period.
L Rushball, the all knowing, all seeing, all caring, All concerned.
All everything Maha Rushi.
The excellence in broadcasting network.
The nation's most listened to, most talked about, most feared.
Radio Talk Show in America.
And, ladies and gentlemen, the media caught up with Caroline Schlossberg.
Ask her her thoughts on Hugo Chavez essentially shutting down her cousin's home heating oil aid program in Massachusetts.
You know, I've uh and you know, um, you know, and um, you know, in my own case, I think, you know, it's in our family, you know, you always think about, you know, going into politics, you know, you know, after 9-11.
I thought about, you know, and I think, you know, you know, everyday New Yorkers.
And so, um, you know, I think um uh as well as myself, you know, you know, all over, you know, again.
And so I thought, you know, um, you know, what's the thing?
Well you have it.
The next likely next uh senator from the uh from the state of New York, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, with her thoughts on Hugo Chavez's sitco, canceling essentially the home heating oil aid program for Democrats who live in uh in Massachusetts.
They have already packed him off, folks.
The the the uh the Bamsters administration has already decided what to do with Joe Biden.
He will not wait to be inaugurated before embarking on the new administration's first overseas fact-finding trip.
Biden will fly to undisclosed destinations in Southwest Asia.
Later this week, he will travel in his capacity as a senator, however.
He'll be accompanied by two Democrat senators, John Kerry, the haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, and two Republican senators, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lindsay Gramnesty of South Carolina.
So they're already packing Joe Biden off to the hills to the outer reaches of the planet, as it were, ladies and gentlemen, uh, leading up to the inauguration of the BAMster, which, as you know, will occur on January 20th.
Here's Roland Burris this morning in Washington, D.C., after being infused, refused admittance into the Supreme White Man's Club of this country, the United States Senate.
My name is Roland Burris, the junior senator from the state of Illinois.
I presented my credentials uh to the Secretary of the Senate and advised that uh my credentials were not in order, and I would not be accepted, and I would not be seated, now will I be permitted on the floor?
And therefore, uh I am not uh seeking to have any type of confrontation.
I will now consult with my attorneys, and we will determine what our next step will be.
Thank you all very much, and God bless each and every one of them.
On the CBS early show today, co-host Maggie Rodriguez interviewed uh uh Roland Burris.
She said, legal or legal or not, is this really the way you want to reach the Senate against the objections of the senators that you'll be working with, even the president elect who's hoping to come in smoothly and avoid drama?
Well, no, I I'm certainly not looking for drama.
They're causing the drama.
My appointment is legal.
There's nothing that says that there's something wrong with Roland Burris.
Are you saying that there's something wrong with me?
I'm qualified.
I was elected four times in my state.
I mean, there's there's nothing wrong with Roland Burris, and there's nothing wrong with his appointment.
Everyone has a certain pardon me.
In fact, I say there's something wrong with the governor, then you all have to deal with that.
But the governor is still the governor of Illinois, and he's still at the power.
As a matter of fact, the governor just signed a directive that Ram Emanuel's seat will be filled by special election.
And the Secretary of State signed that document.
What's the difference?
He's exactly right, folks.
Bogoyovich is on solid ground here, and nobody in Illinois has been able to stop Blogevitch from being governor.
He may have been arrested, but he hadn't been indicted.
He hadn't been convicted of anything whatsoever.
Harry Reid, these guys in the Senate are on thin constitutional ice on this, depending on how far Burris wants to uh wants to push this.
Now, the question from Maggie Rodriguez is this really the way that you want to reach the Senate against the objections of the senators?
I mean, it is.
They are so in the tank.
They are just so in the tank.
What are you trying to do here, Burris?
Don't you have the sense to go away?
Don't you understand we're trying to get Obama inaugurated with as few distractions as possible here?
Why don't you go the way of Bill Richardson and just slink away and disappear?
And Burris continuing to give the drive-by as fits.
Nothing wrong with me.
Last night in Washington, D.C., Capitol Hill, Congressional Democrats held a press conference, unidentified reporters said, Senator Reed, tell us what you plan to do when Roland Burris shows up on the steps of the Capitol tomorrow.
Well, of course, Roland Burris has not been certified by the state of Illinois.
The impeachment proceedings going to start forthwith in Illinois.
We'll see what happens there.
I've been advised they'll be completed sometime early in February.
But we'll wait until we see if there is going to be certification from the state of Illinois.
All right, now the we're going to skip number five.
Mr. Broadcast Engineer, let's go to the Chicago trib today.
You know, this is amazing, especially now, folks, when you remember the controversy of last week.
When I wasn't even here, yet making worldwide news on the BBC, CNN, every other worldwide network, just could not wait to run their biased selective template on the whole Barack the Magic Negro controversy.
So now with a Burris appointment up there causing this giant evaporation of hope and change.
And it really is hope and change evaporating in a steam cloud over the U.S. Capitol, ladies and gentlemen.
And the Chicago Tribune Dawn Turner Rice.
Uh, sorry, Dawn Turner Trice.
Here is the first line of her piece in the Chicago Tribune today.
What does it mean to be authentically black?
A liberal reporterette for a liberal newspaper once again raising this question.
This was about this is about Roland Burris.
They asked this question of Obama all during 2007.
It was the Democrats and the media that were bringing race into all of this.
It's the Democrats who have brought race into the seating of Roland Burris, even though they deny it.
When Democrat U.S. Representative Bobby Rush said last week that African Americans should fill Obama's Senate seat, he didn't mean just any black person.
He meant an authentic black person.
It's fair to say that Condoleza Rice, Clarence Thomas, even an Alan Keyes type would not suffice.
Bobby Rush meant a black person, such as former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris, who has a certain street cred.
Someone considered black enough.
Chicago Tribune, their words, not the words of any conservative here, in 2000, when Bobby Rush and the Bamster competed for Bobby Rush's congressional seat.
Bobby Rush said his opponent wasn't black enough or authentic.
The question of authenticity seems to follow Obama.
In recent weeks we've witnessed the controversy over former Tennessee GOP chairman Chip Saltzman, who in a bid to become chairman of the RNC sent committee members a Christmas CD that contained the parody song Barack the Magic Negro lives in DC.
The song was inspired by a 2007 Los Angeles Times op-ed piece written by a biracial film critic who tried to explain Obama's appeal to white voters by deconstructing the fabled magic Negro.
In cinematic terms, the Magic Negro's a character who's just white enough in that he's neither violent, threatening, nor hypersexual.
His primary function is to save the white protagonist and to swage white guilt.
Think Sidney Poitiers, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith.
And then they go on to ray and and play excerpts of Barack the Magic Negro, or they print them.
My point has less to do with the song, Satire is satire, than the idea that the magic Negro raises the question, what does it mean to be authentically black or authentically black and male?
Chicago Tribune.
Don Turner Trice bringing up the subject again.
For many, Obama flies in the face of such authenticity.
He's not Sharpton Jackson or Bobby Rush.
What frustrates me, she says, is that the prevailing type for black men is so distressingly narrow that any black man who stands outside the type is considered the exception or inauthentic by some whites and some black.
No, no, no, no.
Ms. Trice.
Considered the exception or inauthentic by liberals and Democrats.
And welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have or get to your phone calls here in an LGO.
Sit tight, ladies and gentlemen.
I want to I want to finish sharing with you portions here of the piece in the Chicago Tribune today by Dawn Turner Trice.
Filling Obama's seat becomes test of authentic blackness.
She writes, what frustrates me is that the prevailing type for black men is so distressingly narrow that any black man who stands outside the type is considered the exception or inauthentic by some whites and some blacks.
No, no, no, Miss Trice, I must re-emphasize to you.
We don't care about any of this stuff on the right side of the aisle.
This is you own this issue.
You own the liberal Democrats, white or black, own this whole controversy, if you will, over who is authentic.
When discussing black people, African Americans.
We would never even think to bring this up.
This is this is not even in our lexicon.
We don't run around an inauthentic white person.
Authentic white, inauthentic female, authentic female.
We don't run around think this way.
You people do.
We don't think inauthentic or authentic terrorist, we think terrorist.
She says, one cannot deny that there are myriad problems facing some black men, you know, like Roland Burris.
He's qualified, he's been constitutionally appointed, and the white Senate leadership of the Democrat Party has shut the door on him.
Not even allowing to use the drinking fountains.
The restrooms.
But the black male type is far more diverse than what's captured in statistics and in the media.
Here's a question.
What does it mean to be authentically white?
She asks.
Consider our economic meltdown.
A bunch of white men were at the helm of government and private companies, now brought to their knees by shoddy dealings.
Nobody would suggest that the new archetype for the white male is somebody who shouldn't be in charge of our kids' piggy banks, let alone facets of a national economy.
But whenever there is a grim statistic about a black man, it's too often used to reaffirm all the negative stereotypes.
Sadly for some, that becomes what's authentic.
Again, uh, Ms. Trice, trust me on this, and I speak for conservatives everywhere.
We're just laughing ourselves silly over this.
We don't think this way.
And we are bamboozled that you get away with it.
We don't believe that you get away.
We don't believe that the whole Democrat Party get away, got away with thinking this way about Obama throughout the 2007 campaign year.
Is he black enough?
Is he authentic enough?
Go talk to the guy who wrote the Magic Negro column.
He brought it all up, and he was not the only one.
We are bamboozled that you get away with thinking this way.
What's encouraging, she says, is that it appears Americans are beginning to see beyond what it means for a black person to be black enough or white enough.
Most Americans don't think this way, Ms. Trice.
This is what we are trying to tell you.
It's a select few extremist liberal racists.
And others who think this way.
You are the ones that practice identity politics.
You're the ones that are having this debate over who's authentic or not, therefore you are the deciders.
And apparently to some people, Obama is not authentic.
Some people Roland Burris is, but then to other people he's not.
Maybe more of us are starting to examine people on an individual basis, she says.
Maybe.
more of us.
A lot of us on our side of the aisle, Miss Trice have been doing this for decades.
But we can't get away from you narrow casting everybody and trying to place them in niche categories.
Look at this.
Los Angeles Time, Obama's election.
Changing the politics of race.
What?
Race politics is changed.
Maybe because Democrats don't know which side to come down on, but they're still obsessed by it.
This story is about how Blogojevich played the race card.
Blogojevich played the race card, thumbing his nose by appointing.
They accuse Blogojevich of playing the race card.
It's the Democrats who run the Senate who are refusing to see somebody who has been legitimately appointed by a sitting governor.
Obama's appointed a bunch of white people, and now Burris gets rejected.
Even Obama came out against Burris.
The inauthentic came out against the authentic.
According to the way you liberals look at things here.
This is hilarious.
We're watching this with our mouths agape.
Watching this in stunned amazement that you get away with this.
Los Angeles Times today, the law is on Blogojevich's side.
It's an editorial.
The taint of Blago's alleged crimes does not justify ignoring the Constitution, is the upshot of the piece from the Los Angeles Times.
And there are a lot of scholars.
Bruce Fine, who sometimes is all over the scholar playbook in the Washington Times today, has said that, you know, Blagoevich still acting as governor.
He's signing and vetoing legislation or whatever.
He did uh, you know, as Burris pointed out, he did uh come up with this uh special election to fill Emmanuel's seat, and nobody tried to stop that.
But now the Democrats in the Senate do not want Burris.
Dingy Harry wants to hand pick who he wants in there.
I'm sorry, folks, we have elections.
Dingy Harry is not in charge of who is in the Senate, as will soon be discovered and affirmed, should Burris continue to pursue this along with Blogoevich through all the open legal channels.
Let's go to a quick phone call here before we have to uh get to the break.
And then I I do want to spend some time, ladies and gentlemen, on the just the unfortunate and sad circumstances that have cropped up here during the transition of the Bamster.
Uh so many, so many uh things are in his way.
Democrat factions could stall grand plans, Democrats waver on Obama plan, Diane Feinstein fit to be tied over the appointment of Leon Pennett at CIA.
It's just it's just a shame, and I think it's terribly unfortunate.
I, ladies and gentlemen, want to lead the sympathy parade here in in an effort here to be bipartisan during the transition and take up the poor Bamster.
I mean, he just you know tried to get in Blair House, Bush said no, screw you, come back January 15th, had to check into Hay Adams Hotel.
He shows up yesterday, has a meeting up there in front of the fireplace with Pelosi and Reed.
Pelosi says, come on, hit the ground running.
We don't have time to wait here.
I mean, we won't weigh in on what's happening in Gaza.
Had to get the girls off to school.
Had to move to Washington.
Had to arrive there.
Just it just it just man, I've never seen uh somebody have it so damn tough.
And before they were even inaugurated, poor Bamster.
I mean, Democrats waver on Obama plan.
He's not even president yet.
Democrats already got the long knives out.
At least that's what the drive-bys want us to believe.
Colin Collin, not sure how you're pronounced it, in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Great to have you.
You're up first today.
Welcome.
Thank you.
It's Colin Rush.
Um I'm just confused because I've heard a few people say this, and I'm just if it was a white man that he had appointed as senator.
Do you think the same exact thing would have played out?
I do.
Because of what Dingy Harry has said.
Dingy Harry named two people.
He wanted Tammy Duckworth or Lisa Madigan.
I think if Blogojevich Had appointed a white guy, uh, it would have it would have been much the same thing.
However, you have to understand what we do here, Colin.
For the longest time, people like me and others on my side have had their character impugned, their reputations attempted to be destroyed by false accusations of racism and all of these horrible things that are not true.
Here you have, look at these pictures.
You got a guy that's legit, he's qualified, and according to the Chicago Tribune Today, he's authentically black.
And a bunch of white people would not let him in the door, would not let him use the restroom or the drinking phone.
Now, what are we to make of this?
So you're saying if this was on, if you had done this, they would have been saying the the Democrats, uh the Liberals would have been saying this about you.
Uh oh, there's no question.
If if if Harry Reid were a Republican, the coverage last night and today and all last week would have been 180 degrees different.
He would have been stoned and pillowed.
They would have demanded his ouster for his lack of sensitivity.
The Democrat Party's the party of affirmative action.
The Democrat Party is the party of quotas.
The Democrat Party is the party of advancing minorities to positions they may not even be qualified for.
It's called affirmative action.
And yet they always will end up being harmed and destroyed by their own policies.
Here you go.
This guy, I don't even think he's affirmative action.
This guy's qualified.
This guy's got more experience than the Bamster has, Colin.
Roland Burris has more political governmental experience than Barack Obama.
And they just booted him out of there.
Um there is there is no question if the parties were turned here, if the tables were turned, this would be an entirely different thing.
Now the drive-by's are jumping on Burris.
How dare you destroy this historical moment?
Just get away.
Just go back where you came from.
The media.
If this, if Dinji Harry were a Republican column, the media would have already begun running Burris's life stories all over the place.
And we would have learned that he was a sharecropper's son, even if it wasn't true.
And we would have learned that he grew up in abject poverty, lived next door to William Jefferson, Congressman Democrat Louisiana, and that he had to scrimp and scrape and he ate dirt three nights a week because that's all his family could afford.
Sometimes they put hot water on it and made mud and pretended it was chocolate cake.
But we would have had all of these stories about how he's had a scratching claw against the white power structure and still he made it.
Instead, what we're getting is this guy is an ingrate.
Shut the hell up and go back to Illinois and learn your place.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, emitting vocal vibrations coast to coast.
You know, this black enough thing that the drive-by media and the Democrats continue to um wring their hands over.
And if you're gonna if you're gonna posit the notion that somebody may not be black enough, that they may not be authentic, it means that there are those who are black enough, right?
I mean, if somebody's not black enough, somebody is.
And then you have to ask, can somebody be too black?
Do you think that's possible, Mr. Sturdley?
You have experience here.
Is it possible to be too black?
We got people who are not black enough, not authentic.
We got people who are authentic.
Can you be too authentic?
Can you be too black?
You can.
Okay.
Okay.
Joe Biden, you can be too black.
Well, what did Joe Biden's not black?
What do you what are you talking?
Mm-hmm.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean too black as a detriment.
If you're inauthentic and you're not black enough, that's bad.
If you're authentic and black, that's good.
But then can you be too black?
In other words, can you be bad black?
You'd be too black.
Because these things are natural progress.
I don't think this way, so I don't have the answer to the question.
I really don't.
We'll have to ponder this one, ladies and gentlemen.
They have to go to the experts on this, uh, the civil rights movement, liberal democrats, and those on the drive-by media.
I just saw a picture, somebody sent me an email picture, supposedly, of Anne Coulter on an airplane.
Now The picture's taken like from a flight attendant looking down at people seated in coach.
I don't think it's Ann Colder because I don't think she flies coach.
But if I looks, looks it could be she wearing a mask.
You know, a surgical mask to keep germs away and so forth.
That sounds like Ann Cole.
Can you believe?
Did you people hear about this?
Can you believe the gift NBC gave Ann Coulter by banning her from the Today Show today?
And the first news of this came out she was banned for life.
And some stupid NBC exec let the cat out of the bag.
So we just don't think, we just don't think we don't want anybody who doesn't like Obama.
We don't want a critic of Obama.
This is not the time for it.
It's not what our audience wants.
Her book is not a critique of Obama.
It is a critique of the liberal drive-by media and how liberalism has destroyed a bunch of our culture.
We're gonna have her on the program to talk about it.
Uh some whenever she gets back.
I wanted to come in and do it live, not on the on the phone, and she's up in New York doing all these appearances.
I uh got my copy of it.
It's it's typical Ann Calder.
It's just amazing.
She just shows this appearance was booked, I don't know how long ago on the Today Show.
And then they banned her from uh all cable outlets, PMS, NBC, CNBC.
Banned for life.
What a gift.
What an absolute gift.
So CBS Harry Smith booked her today, and it was no contest.
Harry tried to stand up to her, but it was it was no contest.
Uh she knows the material, he doesn't.
He is part of what she is an expert on and doesn't understand it.
It was hilarious.
I mean No, they don't see themselves being Stalinist.
Look at Mark Stein had a great post at National Review Online last night, uh taking off something that Andrew Breitbart out in California has had to say, and that is, and this is very important, and I I printed this out to discuss this at some point, maybe today or down there, but it's not date stamped, it's not, but it's all about how uh the culture has just become default liberal.
There's not even any question.
There's there's there's no contention uh or contentiousness in the culture.
It is just liberal, from movies to books to uh uh songs.
Uh, you name it, uh, even in in so-called high culture.
Stein uh talks about the um oh, some some great musical that was uh being performed and the conductor stopped everything to bash Bush in the middle of it.
And the audience pauded.
The point is um he said that if conservatives do not find a way to dent the pop culture, it isn't gonna matter what happens in Washington, and then it's unrealistic to expect that every bit of entertainment culture the American people are exposed to is 100% died in a wool liberal and then expect him on election day to go vote for conservatives.
It's just unrealistic to expect that.
And one of the Breitbart's trying to get something going culturally in Hollywood where conservatives don't have to hide in a closet.
Um I'll get that to you.
We'll do that sometime uh this week, I promise.
May get to it today.
It depends on things unfold.
Anyway, about the culture business.
I was looking at this picture, and she's the only one if it's her, it looks like it could be, but you can't tell because it's the picture's taken looking down.
She's got this mask on to stop germs.
What an uncomfortable thing to have to do.
To wear a surgical mask.
Have you ever put one of those things on?
Well, try breathing in one.
