Time Text
Auntie, this stuff is moving so fast we can't keep up with it.
Do you realize 90% of the content of my program in the first hour today was content that arrived after it started?
It was not part of the hours and hours of show prep that I put in last night and this morning.
That's how fast things are moving out there.
Great to be with you.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, and fun and frolic for all, as well as serious discussion of issues.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
The email address, lrushball at EIBnet.com.
Grab Soundbite 25 again.
Now, I don't need to play it.
Again, this is Obama.
Well, wait, yes, we do.
We got a new tuner inners out there.
What I want to do here is play, let's see, 24 and 25 again before we get to the top of the audio soundbites.
There are virtual town hall at the White House today.
One of the questions from Harriet in Georgia, Mr. President, I love you.
God bless you, all the hard work they're doing.
But when are you going to bring these jobs that have been outsourced back?
When are you going to bring these jobs that are overseas back so they can be made available to unemployed workers here?
The answer to the question is, not all of these jobs are going to come back.
And it probably wouldn't be good for our economy for a bunch of these jobs to come back because, frankly, there's no way that people could be getting paid a living wage on some of these jobs.
Stop the tape.
It's all you need to hear from the answer.
And a reason he's, and they swerved into the truth here, he just explained why the jobs left in the first place.
It's cheaper overseas.
Now, ask yourself this.
If Harriet from Georgia is listening, and I'm highly doubtful.
But Harriet, if you're listening out there, what did you think was going to happen?
Obama gets elected and all these jobs in India and around the world, these people go, oh, oh, this is wonderful, this is wonderful.
Obama's been elected.
We're going to give up our jobs so that you Americans can have them back.
Is that what you thought was going to happen?
And then he added this.
We could set up systems so that everybody in each house have their own smart meters that will tell you when to turn off the lights, when the peak hours are, can help you sell back energy that you've generated in your home through a solar panel or through other mechanisms.
All this can be done, but it also creates jobs right now.
Our biggest problem, we don't have enough electricians to lay all these lines out there.
All right.
So you have smart meters.
Google is building them.
Smart meters will be installed in your house by newly hired electricians working for the government, obviously.
I got a note during the break from a friend who is very closely connected to an industry expert in the electrical power generation business.
It's an incredible statistic if it's true that 40% of all electrical power is stolen now.
That 40% of people have found a way to bypass the meter outside their house so that not all the electricity they use is showing up.
It's like back in the old days, people were able to go outside on a telephone pole and insert a box and fool a cable company.
They were able to steal cable signals.
And this is exactly what will happen.
If they ever did this, put these smart meters inside people's houses, they would just find a way around them.
It's what we Americans do.
It is how we react to onerous control and regulations after we've stupidly elected the people who want to impose them.
We then go out and find ways around it.
And of course, your car in California can no longer be black as of 2012 if the California Air Resources Board gets its way.
Which leads to the question, what if you promise them to only drive your black car at night and then pay a fine if you're caught driving your black car in the daytime?
Snerdley believes this will cause a revolt in California.
I frankly, I don't think we're near the revolt stage.
We've got the tea parties going on over the spending and so forth, but not in California.
I mean, there's so much to revolt over out there for the last two or three years that it didn't happen.
People are just leaving.
Now, last night, again, I was channel surfing last night.
Well, I took a break from show prep.
I went over there, sat down on the couch, grabbed the trusty Crestron remote control unit, fired up the giant 16-foot high-definition projector, and I started channel surfing around.
I wanted to make sure I could use as much damn power as I could.
I turned the thermostats down to 70 degrees, 68 degrees.
I turned on every light in the house.
I turned on every light in the backyard and aimed them down so they wouldn't have the turtles.
I mean, I had my house lit up like a Christmas tree last night.
You want to know why?
Because I swerved into Larry King Live.
And you know what the subject was on Larry King Live?
In the last half of the show, they had an actor on there by the name of Edward Norton.
I like Edward Norton.
I think he's great.
I love some of the stuff that he does.
And they had the singer Alanis Morris set on.
Has she had any hits recently?
Because I don't listen to music radio.
Craig, you should know, does she have any, well, those are the two experts.
And Edward Norton has been named U.S. Ambassador for Worldwide Earth Hour Saturday night.
Saturday night local time, whatever time zone you are in, everybody's supposed to turn off their lights for an hour in a symbolic demonstration of saving electricity and saving the planet via reducing global warming.
And here's a story on this from the French news agency.
Around a billion people living in the world's major cities are being invited to turn off their lights at 8.30 local time Saturday for IRF Hour, described as the biggest mass campaign to demand action on climate change.
We are freezing.
The earth is freezing.
All of these floods in North Dakota, you watch, you're going to be blamed on global warming.
You know what's largely causing the floods in North Dakota and Fargo?
Too much snow over the winter.
Snowpack and ice, and it's melting.
The Empire State Building, the Great Pyramids, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Puck Acropolis in Athens, the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan are among the buildings whose illuminations will be switched off for an hour, said the organizers on their website.
More than 200 buildings in Paris will be dark for an hour, including the Louisvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Paris Opera House.
Last year's event drew acclaim participation of 370 cities in 35 countries.
Last week, the organizers said that 1,189 will be taking part this year.
People are being invited to provide blogs and short video clips on the waves of spending an hour in the dark.
You know what generally happens in a power failure in the dark?
I mean, nine months later, you have a baby boom.
Will we get to see videos of that?
Is that what these people are going to show us?
Videos of activity when the lights are out between 8:30 and 9:30 local time Saturday night.
The campaign has been backed by the United Nations.
The Secretary General last week described it as a clear message for action on climate change in the run-up to a crucial meeting in Copenhagen.
I'm watching Edward Norton and I'm watching Alanis Morrisett, who folks, they compared this to the march and the beatings in Selma, Alabama, and the Civil Rights Movement as carrying the same symbolism.
Edward Norton said it wasn't the riots, it wasn't the beatings in Selma that actually changed the civil rights movement.
It was the symbolism of what happened there that caused a consciousness nationwide to occur that resulted in this.
So now, the civil rights movement's Selma March is being appropriated, I should say, misappropriated, by global warming lunatics.
And Larry King was beside himself.
What great citizens these two were.
They're a great actor.
You're a great actor, great citizen.
You're doing wonderful things for the world.
Wonderful.
And Alanis Morris said, I'm still not convinced she knew where she was, much less knew what she was in.
Not a sexist comment.
Edward Norton wasn't much better.
He just looked better saying it, sounded better saying it.
But what he was saying is these people are nuts.
8:30 local time.
That's why when I saw that, when I was watching this, see, I have the ability from my couch, wherever I happen to be, I can turn on every light in the place on all five houses.
I can turn on the air, I can regulate the air.
So I lit my place up like a Christmas tree last night, 8:30 on Saturday night.
I'm going to do the same thing.
I mean, I might even put a Christmas tree up.
I might even put Christmas lights on the outside lights and the outside landscaping.
I mean, I'm going to go just the opposite way because I, El Rushbo, as you know, resist the tug of popular sentiment.
This is what makes me me.
I've never been a conventional wisdom guy nor a conformist.
And you're going to have a bunch of these people doing this for two reasons: fear, if they don't do it, they'll be ridiculed if they're a city, a town, a building, a corporation.
And the second reason is because they actually think they're making a difference here with their show of symbolism.
What could it possibly hurt to turn the lights off?
It can't hurt anything to turn the lights off other than promote crime.
Now, what are the homeless going to do?
I mean, it's already dark for them anyway.
Their life prospects are dark.
Now they're living under bridges, streetlights.
What's going to happen when you turn those off?
People driving black cars at night can't be seen.
They're going to come in there, create mayhem, and crime and so forth.
It's just, it is just ridiculous.
Now, this level, folks, of emotional chaos, this level of emotional derangement, it's been present in this country for a long time.
But look with the election of extremist, tyrannical president, look at all of it that has brought to the surface.
And you watch this stuff and you go, this is not the country I live.
This is not America.
This is not the country I was raised in.
This was not the country I grew up in.
We're being run by a bunch of idiots, a bunch of children, spoiled brat children who actually think they're making a difference.
Turning out the lights for an hour.
So I urge all of you, especially those of you who are stealing your electricity by short-changing the meter, fire them up.
Saturday night, 8:30.
They chose 8:30 because daylight time.
Of course, it's still, it gets dark by 8:30.
Fire them up.
I mean, fire up every light you got.
Go out and drive your car, turn the headlights on after you've turned every light on the house, in the house, on and outside.
Just fire it up.
Go out and rent spotlights.
Go out and get some lights and light the buildings where the lights have been turned off.
Somebody's got to make up for the electricity not being used.
I mean, everybody depends on the money being spent here on electricity.
It would be so wonderful if we have more lights on than get turned off.
Anyway, a brief timeout.
Ladies and gentlemen, here, got an email.
Got an email from, let's see, Jim Mehan in Chatham, New York.
Dear Rush, I live in a small town in upstate New York, and you are well aware of our special election here, but I have to admit, I didn't know you were running for office here.
But I see your picture on more campaign ads for the Democrat Party than the Republican candidates face.
You're on a lot of them.
I see your face more than I see the face of the Republican candidate.
We'll explain what this is all about when we come back.
By the way, you people that are unable to resist the tug of popular sentiment and are going to participate in this childish and foolish, symbolic, meaningless act of turning off your lights at 8:30 on Saturday night for an hour.
Just remember something.
In California, when they mandated everybody start driving a bunch of little lawnmowers with a couple seats on them to save the environment and to save energy, the state realized after not too long a period of time that fewer gallons of gas sold meant a loss of tax revenue.
So they talked about raising the tax on gasoline.
In North Carolina, Raleigh-Durham era, the golden triangle, as it's called, during a drought, they limited the use of water.
And when people followed the law and used less water, the city got less revenue from sales and taxes on water, and so they raised taxes on water.
So if you are, and I, you know, I know this is, see, I can't say it any other way.
I know this might offend new arrivals here who think I'm pompous and arrogant and so forth.
But if you are stupid enough to think that turning off your lights for an hour on Saturday night is going to do anything other than raise the cost you pay for electricity, you need to think again.
It isn't going to make one Sam Hill's worth of difference to anything.
I know you'll feel better about yourself.
And I know you think I'm trying to deny you feeling better about yourself.
That's not it at all.
I just hate people acting as sheep, engaging in worthless, meaningless things that will end up resulting in the loss of freedom.
If you willingly, because of some initiative put forth by an actor and a singer, singer, if you are willing to turn off your lights for an hour, then how willing will you ultimately be for them to come along and order you to do it?
Well, I know I mentioned that they're going to have videos of what people do when the lights are off.
That's what the website says.
And we know that when the lights go off on a power failure nine months later, Bamo got more human beings and more abortions, depending on who got pregnant.
So it could end up this hour off could end up producing more people, which will ultimately threaten the planet far more than any one hour without electricity in your house.
So make sure that you get a condom.
Make sure you get a condom from China so that it has lead in it.
Get prepared.
Either up the contraception or go out and get a condom and prepare for your hour of darkness Saturday night at 8.30 so that you don't mistakenly raise and elevate the U.S. population, which of course will put stress on the planet down the road.
All right.
I'm going to go to the phones.
You realize I haven't even gotten to the top of my show prep stack.
All the time I spent on show prep so far have been unnecessary.
At least for today's show, it's never unnecessary.
It's never worthless.
But everything that's happened on this program for the first hour and a half happened after it started.
For you new arrivals, I know you'll consider this pompous and arrogant too, but I dare say there's not a host in America who could do what's being done today.
That's why I don't write speeches.
You have to be able to react to things that are happening a final second before you go on stage.
Okay, where are we starting?
Indianapolis.
This is Bill.
Glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
20-year listener, first-time caller.
Great to have you here.
Thank you for taking my call.
Anytime.
I listened to your show last hour, but I don't know who came up with this, but I think they have it backwards.
If you want to cool the air or the atmosphere, you should paint all cars black.
Explain this.
Well, black absorbs.
I have a black car.
It's warmer only on the inside.
The air above it is actually cooler.
If you want to warm the atmosphere, you're going to paint all cars white.
It reflects.
It reflects what?
Heat and light.
Well, but see, we're a little confused on the intention here because the story only says that they want to reduce the heat inside cars to reduce automobile air conditioning usage.
And the less automobile air conditioning usage, the less emissions, the less gasoline used, and therefore the less damage to the planet.
Now, what you're saying is that if you're right, if these white cars and the light-colored cars are going to reflect the heat, then that's just going to make global warming even worse, right?
I would think so.
Yeah.
And so what you need to do is have every car be black, like the old Model T's were, so that the Earth gets cooler.
Yes, I will use a little bit more air conditioning in the summertime than a person with a white car, but it's a very good thing.
I bet you don't.
I'll bet you that's bogus.
Well, no, that's technically true.
The car is actually a little bit warmer on the inside, a black car.
Okay.
You get in a car in the summertime.
Let's just use Florida.
Okay.
I have black cars, and I'll guarantee them to you, if I'm playing golf for five hours and I got a white car or black car, if I get in either one of those cars, it's going to be an oven because I lock it and keep the windows up because everybody knows my car is the only vandalism.
It's going to be, I don't care if it's 10 degrees cooler in the white car than the black car.
It's still going to be an oven in there.
AC's going on full blast.
It's hot either way.
All right.
So it's the whole thing is just bogus.
Yeah.
Well, if they want to get rid of global warming, then they should be asphalting everything.
Get rid of all the concrete because concrete reflects a lot.
Think of it that way.
I know.
You can walk the city of New York or any big metropolis in the summertime with the heat being reflected by the buildings.
You're exactly right.
They're stupid.
Our old buddies from ZZ Top.
Sharp-dressed man.
Hey, look, now, folks, I don't want to get too technical on this black paint versus white paint and reflection of heat and so forth because it misses the point.
The point of all this is not whether black or white makes a car cooler or warmer.
It's not the point.
The point is that you've got a California bureaucracy that is prepared to tell you that you cannot have a black car.
The science is bogus.
Look, everybody knows black absorbs heat.
If we're talking about atmospheric heat, the caller was right.
You want black, black will absorb it.
A white car, which is being mandated, will reflect the heat back into space.
The heat is not contained at the level of your head.
The heat rises.
It keeps rising.
And it's reflected.
That is why, as I now get technical in violation of my own commandment, that is why cloud cover is such an underused, because you can't predict cloud cover, an underused aspect of climate modeling.
White clouds reflect the heat before it gets here.
Heat is reflected off of white.
Plus the water vapor, it's so complex.
Nobody could create a model that would explain this, much less predict it.
But none of that is the point.
Just today, we learned the California Air Resources Board is prepared to dictate that you cannot have a black automobile.
We have heard today that the President of the United States, and it's in the stimulus bill, wants some sort of meter in your home to tell you when you're overusing electricity.
And he wants a government electrician to come into your home and wire it up.
We're talking tyranny here.
We are talking absolute statist control.
The details are irrelevant.
It's like, do you remember Grandmothers for Peace?
Well, I'll never forget these people.
I remember back in the late 80s and the 90s, they coincided, you know, with the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament, which led to our peace update theme with Slim Whitman.
And Grandmothers for Peace at one point had a great plan.
What they were going to do to spread peace around the world was manufacture a bunch of frisbees.
And the Frisbee is going to have the word peace and love and also the peace signs.
And they're going to give these frisbees to kids all over the world.
They had DVDs to show how to use the Frisbee.
That really worked, didn't it?
Frisbees for Peace.
Really, and really impacted Al-Qaeda, didn't it?
I mean, it really worked, didn't it?
Turning the lights off at 8.30 for an hour.
It's really going to work, isn't it?
For those of you that mindlessly play along, all it does is send the signal that you are willing to be controlled, that you are willing to be manipulated and take actions not in your best interests.
All for the express purpose of making actors and singers feel relevant beyond the roles that they play.
Who's next on the phones?
This is, let me put the glasses on.
Let's see.
Oren, I think.
Yep, Oren in Bloomington, Illinois.
Great to have you here.
Thank you for waiting.
And hello.
Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh.
Thank you for taking my call from the home state of some of the most amazing politicians we've ever seen.
Rod Bogoevich, yes, I agree with you.
Well, that's a good start, but we have a couple in Washington that are just doing some things that really, that really worry me.
But I called today to ask a favor of you to see if you could help the liberals and the left in the future.
And I may have thrown you a little bit, but I want to revert back, and I know it's not on today's program, but to talk a little bit about the legislative action or inaction that's being taken or that's taking place in our federal legislature right now, in particular the laws that they want to pass.
Hang on just a second.
We're going to start speaking in English here.
For those of you in the Rio Linda and Port St. Lucie, the federal legislature is Congress, and it happens to be Barney Franks Committee that we're talking about.
And you're talking about Geithner's appearance there today.
Well, I'm talking about that, but the action towards cutting or to oversee the payment of executives, not only throughout the entire private sector, far beyond the banks.
And I think that the reason I called is, I think that you would be able to help the liberals understand something, and that is that if this is passed, if this actually succeeds, that someday, and I have no doubt that someday the conservatives, we will again win the majority.
And at that point, a precedent will have been set, and it will have been set in law.
And at that time, then if it were so chosen, the legislature could then go, all right, Mr. Executive or Mrs. Executive of the unions and the union officers, we're now going to limit your pay.
And oh, by the way, union workers, we're now going to limit your pay because you're not producing.
And that is because the liberals in 2009.
Now, I understand what you were saying.
It is, in fact, a variation on one of my monologues of weeks ago, and in which I warned you, liberals, go ahead.
You go ahead and transform our government.
You give yourselves limitless powers to control and dictate people's lives.
And you understand this.
The day is going to come when you lose control of that government.
It just happens.
It's cyclical.
You will lose control.
And we are going to have that control.
Once we win, we are going to have the new sweeping federal tyrannical powers that you have initiated in the government during your time in power.
And we are going to use them against you.
We're going to start funding our own groups in violation of the law.
Of course, it won't be in violation of the law anymore.
We're going to give our own think tanks and our own community organizing groups your tax dollars.
And we're going to use every dollar we can to investigate every damn one of your leaders who bastardized our government the way they did.
And then we are going to limit the salaries of athletes and actors and movie studio executives and everybody who ever gave a dime to any Democrat anywhere.
And we're going to use the tools that you built into the government and we're going to turn them right back on you.
So you better be careful what you do.
That was the essence of my brilliant monologue of some weeks ago, correct?
The reason why that resonates, that will not resonate with liberals, by the way, Owen, or and I hate to tell you, it's not going to stop them from doing what they're doing because they, in their minds, are never going to lose power again.
That's what tyranny is.
Tyranny does not lose power.
But it's an interesting concept.
But see, here's the thing.
It would never really happen.
You know why it would never really happen?
Because we as conservatives, we don't want to use that kind of power on people.
And we're not people of vengeance and punishment and so forth.
Oh, it might be fun, you know, for a year or two while we're in the process of rolling it all back.
But what we would roll it back, we would get rid of that garbage.
We would get rid of all that tyrannical garbage in government.
That would be our objective if we get power back.
Our objective would be to return liberty and freedom to the American people that had been usurped and taken from them by the Obama administration and the left.
But while we're in the process of winding it down, it would be fun to tell everybody that works at ABC CBSNBC Bamo, you got a max $250,000 you can earn.
Corporate suite down to the talent.
Ditto Hollywood.
And by the way, we think movie prices are too high, ticket prices.
We're going to demand that movie pickets a buck and a half.
And you're going to live off what a buck and a half will generate and some of the worthless crap that you are producing.
We're going to mandate that DVDs are given away two weeks after the theatrical release.
I mean, once you establish these kinds of powers, who's to stop you?
But to say this as a warning sign to the left, let me ask you, Snardly, do you think they would stop them?
Heck no, wouldn't give them a moment's pause.
It wouldn't because they don't ever consider the notion of losing power.
The dirty little secret is, Or, and this is what, this is really what you need to think about this, they don't plan on there being any conservatives left.
Just, you know, walking around voting on the radio.
I mean, conservatives are going to be around, but you're going to have to go special places to see them.
Quick timeout, back after this.
Okay, we are back.
It's great to have you with us.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the fastest three hours in media, the fastest week in media.
Ransom using reports, 30% say government should limit the pay for athletes and movie stars.
A great deal of public anger is focused at corporate execs these days.
Johnny Depp and the boys this summer don't fare much better.
30% of Americans believe that government should make it illegal to pay movie stars and athletes more than $1 million a year.
30% think the government should make it illegal to pay movie stars and athletes more than $1 million a year.
That was the question.
30%?
Wonder how the kids in Hollywood are going to take this.
Edward Norton and Alanis Morris set are going to react to this.
All right, as I mentioned earlier, and this now begins the first item of actual show prep I prepared for this program.
I was intending to start with this right out of the box today when the program started.
The Washington Post and every news, I mean, it's just it's all over the place.
There's a special election in New York State to replace Kristen Gillibrand, who's the conservative Democrat who was named to replace who in the Senate?
Hillary, yeah, named to replace Hillary in the Senate.
So her seat, it's a conservative district, and the Republican candidate, Jim Tedesco, was way ahead.
He was up by double digits, and then he goofed up, and he said, Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant to me.
Then he had to backtrack on that and say, that's not what I meant.
I was talking, this is a local race.
I'm tired of getting Limbaugh questions up.
So the Democrat has pulled even.
And in the Washington Post, Limbaugh, an issue in New York special.
Democrats are seeking to use Rush Limbaugh to rally their base in advance of next week's special election in New York's 20th district.
A new direct mail piece from businessman Scott Murphy's campaign features an angry shot of Limbaugh over the words, I hope Obama fails.
At the bottom of the piece, in parentheses, is written, somebody wants you to stay home on March 31st.
On the back of the mailer, an Obama drawing is featured with text superimposed over it that accuses Rush Limbaugh and his lackeys in Washington of trying to be a roadblock to change America desperately needs.
My picture is all over campaign literature in New York's 20th district, not the picture of the candidate, not the picture of the Republican candidate.
And in fact, I've got screenshots here of the photos.
I can show you on the DittoCam.
Those of you watching on the Ditto Cam, you can't read the text, but you can see there the literature.
See Obama, you see me in the so-called angry shot.
What you do not see, what is not available in the email or the campaign literature is anything the Democrat candidate stands for.
The Democrat candidate doesn't give you one reason to elect him.
The Democrat candidate is running ads saying that this guy on the Republican side is linked to me, that Limbaugh, Limbaugh and his, meaning Limbaugh and my lackeys in Washington are trying to see to it that you don't show up.
I have never in my life told voters of any kind not to vote.
I may have told a couple people that Election Day was not the day they thought it was.
I'm just kidding.
I've never done that either.
I've never told people not to vote.
You know what I think?
I think this Democrat, Scott Murphy, I think this guy is so lacking in character or qualifications that he has to use me as a diversion from his own incompetence.
I'm going to tell you what, if I ever did run for office, and it's a long shot, folks, but if I ever ran for office, I'd run for office on me and what I think this country needs is me and why it needs me and what I'm going to do for the country and therefore you.
And this guy is running against me and I'm not on the ballot.
They're trying to put me on the ballot.
My picture's all over.
I'm flattered.
Don't misunderstand.
What I'm saying is to those of you in New York's 20th, you have a Democrat candidate who apparently cannot tell you why you should elect him.
Of course, the drive-bys love all this.
Chris Salizza was on Chris Matthews last night on hardball.
And Matthews, it's a convoluted question.
Let me see.
Chris, you've just broken a story late this afternoon about the role being played, perhaps passively, if that's possible, by Rush Limbaugh.
I'm playing no role, Chris.
I didn't know this was happening until I saw it myself in the email last night.
Well, okay, Rush Limbaugh is playing a role to fill that House seat up in New York, who is now the senator replacing Hillary.
Here's Saliza with his breaking news.
There's a piece of direct mail that's gone out today.
Folks are receiving up in that district today from the Democratic candidate a picture of Rush Limbaugh and a quote saying, I want him to fail about the president and saying Rush Limbaugh wants to keep you from voting on March 31st.
This is aimed at trying to drive out their base, trying to make people turn out in a special election where they might not turn out otherwise.
It's an interesting move because I think they're trying to turn Rush Limbaugh into the boogeyman that George W. Bush was for the party in 2006 and 2008.
That person that people went to the ballot box, Democrats, I'm talking about to vote against.
You go right ahead.
You go ahead and run against a radio talk show host.
You just do it.
You are going to be shocked to see what happens.
This is a conservative district up there, and you people in New York's 20th, what you have to remember, what you have to understand is you got a Democrat who doesn't have the guts to tell you who he is.
He doesn't have the guts to tell you what his positions are on issues.
And finally, listen to Evan Thomas.
Evan Thomas is at Newsweek.
He's an executive at Newsweek.
And listen to this explanation here, how Ram Emmanuel suckered them into running that cover story on me.
Old tactic.
It's not just upstate New York Democrats.
Rah Emmanuel did this very thing, what, about a month ago when he said that Rush Limbaugh is the head of the Republican Party.
That set up this fury on cable TV and the cover of Newsweek.
He suckered us into it, too.
But putting Rush on the cover of Newsweek, it was a clever political trick.
Make a villain out of Rush Limbaugh to rally the Democratic base.
Can you believe this Newsweek now saying they got suckered?
Newsweek, Evan, you take dictation from Rah Emmanuel.
He doesn't sucker you into it.
Oh, we wouldn't have done the Limbaugh cover if we hadn't got suckered into it by Rom Emmanuel.
Come on, you guys.
We've known it since high school, guys.
It's now been established by a British university.
It is now scientific fact.
Women are more attracted to men in expensive cars.
Doesn't say anything about the color, just the cost.
