Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
It was surreal.
I'm telling you, folks.
It is hard to conclude otherwise.
I think these people are trying to make the economy worse.
I think they're trying to sink the stock market.
I got some audio sound bites that kind of back that up, but I mean this is.
Well, it's Friday.
Other than that, I don't know anymore.
I live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
And on Friday, we try to take more phone calls than we usually do.
Because on Friday, the uh we turn the content of the program over to you.
Monday through Thursday, we only talk about what I care about.
On Friday, I ditch that.
I sweep it aside.
I broom it.
Whatever you want to talk about, we will talk about.
800 282.
2882 is the number if you want to be on the program.
The email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
Gotta hear this.
Last night uh uh actually it was this morning, I'm sorry.
There's a blog out there called MediaBistro.com, TV Newser and so forth, and uh the TV people read it religiously.
I mean, not too many other members of the public do, but I mean it's big in the TV business, and and they have a um they have a show on there.
Uh the with it's a web radio show.
Everybody wants Oh, by the way, the journal did publish the Wall Street.
The Wall Street Journal did publish my uh op-ed today.
We've linked to it at Rushlimbod.com, or you can you can go to the uh Wall Street Journal opinion page and uh and see it yourself.
Terry Moran of ABC's Nightline was the guest.
This is what he said about President Obama.
In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office.
I mean, from visionary leader of a giant movement.
Now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in uh in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.
Whoa!
Yes, you heard you heard right.
He's uh to take a step down for Lord Barack Obama the most merciful.
He was leading this giant movement, a la George Washington.
Now he's had to take a step down.
What did I tell you people?
He's too big to fail.
Listen to this one more time.
This is one of the anchors of ABC's nightline.
In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office.
I mean, from visionary leader of a giant movement.
Now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in a way, and I think the coverage reflects that.
Yes, it does indeed.
The press coverage of Obama certain certainly does reflect this.
Step down to uh to go to the Oval Office.
I get I guess we can assume from this that Obama has made a mistake, and that he would have been better served to stay as this leader outside Washington of this massive giant movement rather than pin himself down with an executive position.
So I'm watching Obama's addressing the mayors today in the East Room, some mayors from across the country.
And it was sir, folks, it was surreal.
Everything he said about his stimulus package was a lie.
And every lie that he uttered, the mayors applauded.
He lied about four million new jobs being created in the next two years.
All the while the market is collapsing.
Poverty is on the increase in America.
There certainly are two Americas now, and it's uh it's shaping up as the politicians and the bureaucrats versus the rest of us.
He told the mayors, get this, that he will not tolerate the waste of money.
He won't tolerate any waste of the whole stimulus package is a waste of money.
Last night on Hannity's TV show, uh Congressman from Texas said, Look, if you elect us Republicans back in charge of the House in 2010, we can guarantee that 60% of this will not be spent, because 60% of it doesn't get spent till after 2010.
And we can cancel a lot of this and save the country a lot of money.
It's an interesting idea.
Meanwhile, the stock market, today what is it?
Let me check here real quick.
129, that's what I've got now.
Now 112, down 1124, and they don't care.
Here's Joe Biden this morning in the White House.
He introduced Obama to the city mayors.
Now, this is key.
I said yesterday that I I think that what's happening here, there's a there's an anger, there's a rage, and there is an effort here to totally restructure American society and American culture, that there is a desire on the part of the Obama White House and the Liberal Democrats in Congress to expand the welfare state to include many of the middle class and even some in the upper middle class by so damaging the economy that nobody has any choice but then to take unemployment,
welfare checks, what have you, uh, in order to be able to feed their families.
Here is Biden as he addresses the mayors while the stock markets in free fall, the banks, Citibank is hovering around two bucks.
Now the Citibank floor is five dollars.
When stock gets to five dollars, pension plans and so forth have the option and almost the duty to get out of there.
Now, Citibank is saying today that uh they are not having any conversations with the U.S. government about nationalization, and that the U.S. Treasury has not disclosed much more to the Citigroup people than it has to the broader public about its plans for banking sector, meaning nationalization.
Uh so people a little comforted by that, but still Citigroup hovering around two bucks, it was under it for a little while this morning.
Other bank stocks are also on the way down, and here's what Biden said.
It's very interesting.
President Obama has put our nation on a path toward greater recovery.
Not only greater recovery, but greater decency, greater fairness, greater opportunity, along with economic recovery.
Yeah, uh, there is no economic recovery happening, folks, and there isn't going to be economic recovery for a while, but we're gonna have greater decency, and we're gonna have greater fairness.
Now, how would you interpret that, ladies and gentlemen?
The vice president of the United States introducing the president before the city's mayors, the nation's mayors, saying we're gonna have more decency and more fairness.
Well, if you're a leftist and you have all these different groups, say economic levels, income levels, let's say there are five of them, um, and they're we'll call them quintiles.
The bottom is the is the bottom, and then they proceed upward to the top.
They do not, and they never have sought to elevate those at the bottom.
They seek to punish those at the top and call it fairness.
Biden just as well as may have admitted their objective here, fairness and decency.
You have to know how liberals define fairness and decency.
Fairness and decency means that the people who have traditionally been screwed, the losers supposedly in capitalism, are going to be joined in their loser status by others above them.
We're gonna spread misery equally, and we're gonna call that fairness.
And that's exactly what's happening right before our very eyes.
I have mentioned on this program on several previous occasions a good friend of mine, who I met while in Sacramento, Professor Thomas W. Hazlet, Professor Hazlitt now at George Mason University, teaches law and economics.
He was uh an economics professor at UC Davis when I met the uh the professor.
I I met the professor this way.
There was a story in USA Today on a particular day in the fall of 1984 when I got out there.
And Professor Hazlitt said some very conservative things, and I praised him, and I identified him as a conservative, which prompted the professor to call me and say, Whoa, I'm a free market libertarian.
Don't call me a conservative.
We're gonna harm him within the faculty at UC Davis.
It turned out not to.
But that is how I got to know Professor Hazel, and he now remains a good friend.
He sent me last night a piece that he wrote with a friend, or colleague, George Bittlingmayer, that's posted at RealClearMarkets.com today.
And it's a fascinating piece.
And it's basically concludes that the market.
And he, by the way, I always re I always appreciate getting praised by Professor Hazel.
He's a brilliant economist, he really is.
And I I spent a last couple of days going through in-depth economic lessons, and one of the things we pointed out yesterday is that the market is actually the people with skin in the game after we saw Rick Santella yesterday's Chicago Board of Trade, who by the way took all kinds of heat on NBC today.
We've got the audio soundbites of that coming up.
But I'm I I said, look, the people with skin in the game, the people who actually the investors, people who make the economy work.
They are not buying this.
They are not buying the stimulus at all.
He sent me it's a great economic lecture you did, and he sent me his piece called The Market is shorting Obama's Stimulus.
Let me read to you, Key.
You know what that means, uh Snurdly?
You tell me what it means so I can pass it along to the audience.
What does it mean?
See, I know what it means.
It means they yes, it means that the uh the market in shorting Obama's stimulus is pulling out of the market.
They're betting the economy is going to continue to decline, and thus they're getting out of the market.
And I maintain to you that this is what Obama and the Democrats want right now.
Couple excerpts from Professor Hazlet's piece.
The election marked a turning point.
Investors looked forward to the economic policies crafted by Democrats in Congress in the White House, because everybody was so disappointed with Bush.
Remember uh back on uh you know September 15th, McCain Palin were a 50-50 bet in the polls.
By October 15th, the October surprise uh McCain palette was a 5-1 long shot.
There was carnage, the Dow Jones index had lost 17% of its value from September 2 through November 3rd.
In a flash, Americans lost years of toil, and Republicans lost the election.
So the election marked a turning point.
Investors looked forward to the economic policies crafted by Democrats in Congress in the White House.
They were looking forward to change.
More pointedly, they wanted decisive, well-crafted action on the banking crisis.
Thus, the Dow soared six and a half percent on November 21 on news that Tim Geitner, the tax cheat uh would would be the Treasury Secretary.
I added that the professor didn't didn't Professor didn't put that in there.
Yet from uh November 4th, 2008 to February 12th, 2009, election day through February 12th, the DJI overall fell 18%.
A larger drop than during the September-October plunge.
Do you realize that?
Since Obama's election through about a week ago, the Dow Jones industrial average has fallen more than it fell during the September-October plunge when everybody panicked.
In January, when the Obama plan promising far greater deficits than the two much smaller emergency stimulus plan signed by Bush in 2008 was unveiled.
The market tanked.
It was the worst January performance when 113 years, more pointedly, key political victories for Team Obama's spending plan have not been viewed as buying opportunities on Wall Street.
A string of negative market reactions began with the December 18th announcement of a stimulus of 700 billion dollars.
The Dow went down two and a half percent.
It continued with the January seventh announcement that the actual plan would be on the high side, down another two point seven percent, and continued with last week's 61 to 36 Senate votes supporting the administration's plan.
That White House victory and the new bank bailout plan announced the following day by Geitner were met with a 5% wipeout in the Dow Jones industrial average and a decline in treasury bond yields indicating a flight to quality and they have a chart here in the piece that chronicles every event and the market drop accompanying it.
Now there are many problems with John Maynard Cain's stagnationist thesis as Joseph Schumpeter called it, not the least of which is that it didn't test so well when applied by new dealers.
U.S. unemployment was perniciously high throughout the 1930s, peaking at 25% in 1933, but in 1939 it was still well over 17%.
So the only thing guaranteed by the spending stimulus is more national debt.
One stroke of the presidential pen has now increased the deficit by 800 billion.
Let me give you another statistic you could spend a million dollars for every day since Jesus Christ was born and not reach the size of the stimulus package.
The stimulus package passed and signed by Obama is larger than the federal budget in 1982.
Democrats recently screamed about the profligacy in the Bush era on July 28, 2008, Kent Conrad, Democrat North Decarrot in Dakota said that if they gave out Olympic medals for fiscal responsibility or irresponsibility, President Bush would take the gold, silver, and bronze with his eight years in office, he will have had the five highest deficits ever recorded, and the highest of those deficits is now projected to come in 2009 as he leaves office.
Conrad was right the projected 2009 deficit then stood at 482 billion.
He was talking about the worst deficit ever at 482 billion not even half the size of this stimulus in January after Obama got going on things the deficit forecast for the CBO is at 1.2 trillion three times the deficit that Obama inherited President Obama's new plan now ups the deficit to 1.7 trillion if George W. Bush got the gold,
the medal and the silver, the new administration has landed the platinum in just its qualifying heat.
A couple of more interesting excerpts from this but this is a great piece that chronicles the absolute fall the fallout on the market in the market since Obama was elected is down over 2,000 points you can chronicle each plunge with stated, announced or completed Obama policy.
The market is plunging investors are shorting it.
They're not putting money in the market the economy is getting worse this is being done on purpose I believe just as they are trying to sink the stock market back in a moment rush limb meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day how hilarious is it that Bill Clinton,
the author of the phrase the worst economy in the last 50 years is now admonishing Obama to start speaking hopefully about the economy.
Obama is the man of hope hope and change in Clinton says you better start sounding more hopeful about the economy why do you think he's doing that?
Who who else is ripping Obama for down talking the economy?
Moi ladies and gentlemen, no question Clinton responding because he knows I'm right look at Clinton at least when he was talking about the worst economy in the last 50 years was campaigning.
He didn't talk about it so much when he was in charge of it which tells us that Obama still is in a permanent campaign mode.
Back to Professor Hazlitt here if historic, and these are historic, U.S. budget deficits are any indication the economy is already stimulated.
How much more stimulus is needed to show that it doesn't work the predicted 2009 federal deficit stood at 8.3% of GDP before Obama's package set it to about 12%.
This is a stunning level of debt double the previous post-World War II high, where Reagan's 83 budget deficit amounted to six percent of GDP.
We know that the accounting trends, we know these accounting trends, our government faces massive new spending increases as baby boomers retire and their social security and Medicare bills come due.
Market investors are wary of new spending, guaranteeing either future tax increases or inflation as a run-up to the demographically guaranteed spending spiral.
The quest for shovel ready projects makes one think where's Senator Ted Stevens when we need him.
We need him back in the Senate, authoring all kinds of bridges to nowhere bills.
Anyway, this fiscal bridge to nowhere is not spurring the markets.
The best forecast currently on the table for the economy is the one made by investors risking their own money, which they're not.
They are shorting the stimulus.
They're pulling money out of investment.
A stunning statistic.
Relayed to you by me via way of uh column at real clear, real clear what?
Real clear economics.com.
Thomas W. Hazlet.
The uh market plunges during the last two months, three months of the Bush administration, well, September, October, in the Bush administration have been dwarfed by market plunges since Obama's election.
And everybody still blames Bush.
Everybody still blames Bush.
Some facts here for you, ladies and gentlemen.
We did not bail out Wall Street.
Lehman Brothers bankrupt.
We did not bail out General Motors.
General Motors went from over $90 a share to under $2.
How can you say that these companies have been bailed out?
We didn't bail out AIG.
AIG at a hundred dollars a share, now under one dollar.
They're still around.
What do you mean we bailed them out?
Little language reality check here.
We didn't bail out banks like Citicorp.
They were over fifty bucks a share when all this started.
They're down to they're hovering around two dollars a share now.
And yet we're being Obama boozled into hearing that we bailed out Wall Street.
Why not bail out Main Street?
What about the little guy?
We got to stop bailing out the CEOs.
We gotta it's just words.
This is truly the just words, President.
We haven't bailed out anybody.
It has taken Obama, Pelosi, and Harry Reid less than a month to wreck the U.S. economy.
And it looks like yet another pounding for people with skin in the game today as the market is down 112 to 120 points right now.
The threat of nationalizing banks scaring the hell out of investors who are shorting the stimulus and pulling their money out.
It's gotten so bad that Bill Clinton's begging Obama to at least stop the destructive rhetoric.
Can't you say something nice out there about the economy?
You got to build people up out there like I did.
I'll give you some lessons on how to do it, but you gotta speak positive.
You gotta come out there and you gotta give people hope.
Let's go to Obama from his speech today's meeting with the uh the governors.
I'm sorry, the mayors in the East Room.
This this is the uh this is this is the bite where he says he's not gonna tolerate any waste.
I'm assigning a team of managers to ensure that every dollar is spent wisely.
I want to be clear about this.
We cannot tolerate business as usual.
Not in Washington, not in our state capitals, not in America's cities and towns.
If a federal agency proposes a project that will waste that money, I will not hesitate to call them out on it and put a stop to it.
It's unreal.
I want everybody here to be on notice that if a local government does the same, I will call them out on it and use the full power of my office and our administration to stop it.
Well, his administration's engaged in the worst example of waste we have ever seen.
You know, when you listen to Obama, you have to assume the opposite on veritably everything he says.
Does anybody really believe that he's gonna call out any federal agency that wastes any money?
His whole plan is to waste money.
His whole plan is to deficit spend.
His whole plan is to bankrupt uh uh agencies.
Look at Mr. Hazlet is right.
Social Security, uh, Medicare, all these things coming up for the baby boomers.
Where's that money going to come from?
You're gonna have to add it on top of all the deficits that are mounting up now.
This nobody with a brain would be doing this on purpose if their aim was to assist, if their aim was to fix what's going on.
Now, we've heard all of our lives we need Social Security reform because we're not going to be able to afford it.
It's going to be bankrupt in 2020, 2030, whatever.
We've been hearing this.
Same thing with Medicare and Medicaid.
We're bankrupt now.
How can we pay for what we're already promising to pay?
And we're shoring up losers in the process.
None of this is shoring up the economy.
None of this stimulus is going to people who actually make the economy work.
It's breathtaking.
And to sit there and listen to Obama talk to these people like this, and then they give him this the shouts of applause and so forth, it's scary.
So you got two Americans, you've got uh politicians and bureaucrats against us.
I want to move on to James Kleiburn here before we go to the phones.
As you know, Eric Holder came out a couple days ago and said that America is a nation of cowards on racial matters.
We've done pretty good integrating the workplace, but on Friday we go our own separate ways.
Whites don't want to talk to blacks, Asians don't want to talk to anybody, whoever, whatever.
This is uh, you know, a tremendous insult to the people of this country, but there's a great piece in the American thinker today from somebody says, Oh, Claiburn, or not Kleiburn, but uh Holder's probably exactly right.
Yes, I Mr. Snurdley, I said that.
The American thinker has a piece that suggests Eric Holder was exactly right in calling us a nation of cowards.
Just wait till you hear it before you get frustrated.
First, I want I want you to listen to uh Congressman James Kleburn.
Yesterday, WIS Television 10 Eyeball News, Columbia, South Carolina held a round table meeting to discuss how the newly signed stimulus package would affect South Carolina.
The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition.
Louisiana has a highest uh African American population in their country.
The governor of Mississippi expressed opposition.
The governor of Texas.
And the governor of South Carolina, these four governors represent states that are in the proverbial black belt.
I was particularly insulted by that.
All of this.
Okay, now if I am a racial coward, then I don't play this bite and I don't talk about it, and I don't comment on it.
And I don't allow you to call about it because I'm afraid of what'll happen to me if we talk about this.
Somebody with courage, as I have, will point out how racist Claiburn is.
Because what he's just said here is that these four governors in Louisiana, South Carolina, uh, what else did he, Texas, Texas, and Mississippi are racists.
That they don't want to take this money because they don't want the money going to black people.
Now, what I hear when I hear that is that maybe some of this stimulus is designed to go to black people.
Is that not racist?
I thought this was designed to spur the economy.
But Mr. Kleiburn here is letting us know that to some of his colleagues in the House, this was intended to go to black people.
And if the mayors aren't going to take it, then they are racist.
And so, yeah, we'd be very cowardly not to call this and not to talk about this and not to call it what it is.
This just confirms for me what the aims of this stimulus package really are.
Because I will guarantee you this, in the eyes of James Kleiburn, in the eyes of most liberal Democrats in Congress and in the Senate, when they look out across the population of this country and they see blacks, you tell me, Mr. Sturdley, what do they see?
Exactly.
Exact.
They see when James Clyburn looks out at the landscape of America, when Dashell, when Pelosi Ren Reed, whoever, when they look out when Obama looks Out across the landscape of America.
And they see black people, they say poor people.
They see oppressed people.
They see people, some cases still enslaved.
They see people who have been held down by the man.
They look out and they see their own people as in shrouded in poverty.
That then tells us what they think of their own population.
That tells us how they look.
Liberals always look at average Americans with contempt.
So they're telling us, Cleiburn is telling us here, that the black belt is the poverty belt.
And that therefore, when these four governors don't want to spend their stimulus money, they are racist.
Now, this is how racial cowards are created.
This is how the race card is played by racial bullies to create racial cowards.
But Congressman Cleburn needn't worry.
I mentioned to you last week, the drive-by's only got around to confirming this in the last couple of days in relationship to the Cleburn story.
The reason, you know, Mark Sanford in South Carolina said I don't want it.
We don't we don't want to be obligated to it.
Then he found out that it doesn't matter.
He can be forced to take it.
There is a clause inserted by James Cleburn.
And I think if it ever got tested, it's unconstitutional.
But there is a clause in the stimulus bill that can force state legislatures to overrule or veto their governor's decision and take the money.
And they've got 45 days to do it.
So it doesn't matter.
Now Sanford's okay, I'll take the money, I'll look at it.
He could have held out.
He could have held on principle, the state still got the money.
He could have occupied the right position while the state got the money.
The pressure was too much to bear, because now they're out there calling people cowards on race.
So when Holder calls people cowards on race, it creates cowards on race, and it gets people to shut up, sit down, say nothing when racial bullying tactics are utilized, in this case, to get a stimulus package that's aimed not at economic growth, but just more welfare spending.
Back after this.
Stay with us.
Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh exhibiting.
Highly trained broadcast specialist techniques on display for one and all to marvel at and enjoy.
Don't try this at home, however.
It's not nearly as easy as the great make it look.
800 282-2882 from the American thinker.com.
Matthew May, of course, Eric Holder is correct.
We are a nation of cowards when it comes to race.
This cowardice was on full display during the most recent presidential election and continues today.
As they are in so many other areas of life, chief among our American cowards are the representatives of the national political media.
During the presidential campaign, there was a maniacal effort on the part of the national media to find whites who would not vote for Obama.
Never mind the reasoning for choosing so.
Whites who were not for Obama were automatically racist in outlook and action, you see.
No major media network or national newspaper attempted to investigate the associations of Obama with William Ayers and the Annenberg Project in Chicago.
No major media network or national newspaper launched an investigation as to the release of Obama's grades in college, the lack of legal scholarship that somehow landed him as president of the Harvard Law Review, or any other aspect of his mysterious academic record.
Think back to how resolute and determined that same media were in smoking out the academic record of George W. Bush to prove he is adult.
Let's go back to Soundbite Number One at this point, shall we?
At this point, we've just had it demonstrated that the major media cared not to find out just who this guy is.
It didn't matter.
All that mattered was he represented the first black to possibly be president.
That was historic.
Had to make it happen.
No matter who he is, Jeremiah Wright, forget it.
Bill Ayers, no big deal.
Terry Moran this morning on a web radio show.
He's the host of ABC's Night Line.
In some ways, Barack Obama is the first president since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office.
I mean, from visionary leader of a giant movement.
Now he's got an executive position that he has to perform in a way.
And I think the coverage reflects that.
The only giant movement he's ever been a part of is Acorn.
I don't know what other giant movement he's part of.
But there you have it.
They don't know Moran doesn't know anything about him.
Terry Moran, you are embarrassing.
You don't know anything about Barack Obama.
You and your network and all the others purposely, studiously avoided any investigation to find out who he is.
You manufactured phony stories based on no knowledge, and now you tell us he's so big.
He has done so much.
He is as important to this nation as was George Washington.
I think that in itself is a racial comment myself, friends.
But I'll leave that aside for a moment.
That he has to take a step down from this grand perch.
This leader of a massive movement.
He's doing it for us.
He's taking a massive step down.
Why, Obama is throwing away all of his potential by being president of the United States.
And the coverage he said, said Moran reflected that.
Good lord.
Every time I think I have heard the piece de resistance of media capitulation.
I hear something like this.
And it's beyond even my imagination or perception of how in the tank they are.
They don't know anything about him.
Washington had unanimous.
I understand totally, snurredly.
Washington had unanimous support.
I mean, it's absurd.
It's obscene.
It is offensive, and it is based in race.
Mr. Moran, your assessment is based in race, and you can't fool anybody that that's not what you mean.
So Matthew May says, so what's the what's the difference here?
It is the difference between the incurious or deliberate ignoring of the seemingly endless and disturbing associations and utterances of Obama and the deliberate attempts at smashing anything and everything associated with Sarah Palin, because Palin's white, she was fair game.
Because Barack Obama's sort of black, anything said against him or an honest inquiry into his past was automatically deemed racist, literally no questions asked, says Matthew May, in a nation of cowards at American thinker.
He says too many of us are unwilling to respond to real racism perpetrated by the likes of Eric Halder, Barack Obama, and Jeremiah Wright by repudiating their bigotry in loud bold language.
We're cowards.
We shut up.
We don't have the guts because we are afraid of being called racists.
We Americans of goodwill must push back, says Matthew May, and declare that the sentiments of people like the Attorney General are invalid, untrue, and unacceptable.
We have to stand up and demand that our president state clearly, if he endorses the remarks of his attorney general, who it must be remembered, serves at the pleasure of the president.
Anything else?
We don't do this.
We're truly cowards.
And we know in our hearts that we're not.
Let's prove it once and for all, no matter what anybody might say.
This is why Snerdley.
Matthew May says we are a nation of cowards.
We're what first three letters.
Cow, we're cowed.
We're cowed.
People are deathly afraid of opposing anyone or anything that stems from the race industry because they're afraid of being called racist.
So in a no, not me.
Not not me, not me.
Well, I know.
See, since I do take the hit, people don't want to take the hit.
I mean, they they see what happens to people.
Some of them get fired, some of them are impugned, reputations under assault, trying to be destroyed.
People don't want to go through that.
So they shut up.
So the race industry continues to roll people.
And the whole concept of race in this country continues to be defined in erroneous ways, as though we've made no progress.
We need this massive stimulus bill because most blacks are still poor.
Anybody opposes it is a racist.
Oh, no, no, no, I don't oppose it for that.
Oh, okay, then you'll let it yeah, we'll vote for it.
Back in a second.
All right, we're gonna get to your phone calls in the next hour.
Also, Rick Santelli on the Has seat.
I feel sorry for the guy.
How long is it gonna be before plain loads of liberal lawyers and reporters sweep into his neighborhood, start going through his trash, checking out his kids' dating habits like they did to Sarah Palin?
Gut it up out there, Rick Santelli of CNBC.
