Time Text
And welcome back.
Greetings to you, music lovers, thrill seekers, conversationalists all across the fruited plain.
It's Rush Limbaugh on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend as we also prepare for Monday, the day in which we are only 40 days away from the birthday of Barack Obama.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's open line Friday.
And the telephone number is 800-282-2882 and email address El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Fastest three hours of media.
This is already hour number three.
By the way, Mike, audio soundbites.
Let's see.
Well, start at number one.
We may as well play some of Obama's commencement speech at the Naval Academy today.
Now, don't do that to me.
Yesterday, you wanted to hear Obama soundbites so that I would react to them.
Uh, what's number four?
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
I just, that's on the top page.
I thought it was number one.
Never mind.
What's number one?
Let me find number one.
What's number one?
Oh, yeah, we already did Pelosi.
I don't want to do Pelosi again.
Screw that.
All right.
No, we're not going to do Pelosi again.
We've done Pelosi once.
I really do have to admonish any of you who thought anything was going to happen to her overline about CI Media.
Come on, folks.
There's no mechanism to get rid of her.
The Democrats aren't going to get rid of her.
We don't want to get rid of her.
But there was no way.
I mean, it's just that the Democrats run the politics of Washington.
It ain't going to happen.
This story here that I have amuses me.
Maybe it'll only amuse me.
It may amuse you in a way it doesn't amuse me, but let's see.
Lindsay, by the way, this is from the India Express newspaper.
Lindsay Lohan, I'm not getting into pop culture here.
When I see Lindsay Lohan's name on a webpage, I skip it.
But this caught my attention.
You'll see why here in mere moments.
Lindsay Lohan to marry Samantha Ronson and convert to Judaism.
If reports are to be believed, Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan is planning to get married to on-and-off girlfriend Samantha Ronson.
Lohan and Ronson had parted ways after a hotel bust-up in March.
However, sources claim that the couple is back together and that Lindsay Lohan even proposed.
The star of the movie Mean Girls is also said to be considering converting to Judaism to marry her lesbian lover.
According to the Inquirer, wedding talk angered Samantha Ronson's Jewish family, so the Catholic Lohan has offered to convert.
Lindsay says that Samantha's promised she'll persuade her family to accept this, and they won't wait to see if California changes the gay marriage legislation.
But they'll travel to one of the states where it is legal to say their ideas.
All right.
Now, what struck me about this story?
Let me just tell you, Dawn, you're a normal, red-blooded, heterosexual, standard religious middle-American woman.
What are the details of this country that stick out to you, of this story, that stick out to you the most?
There's no wrong answer here.
I mean, it's not a trick question.
It's not politically correct for you to give an answer.
Okay, Snerdly, you want to take a stab at it?
Okay, here's what gets me about it.
Run through this again.
Lindsey Lohan has a lesbian lover, Samantha Ronson, as proposed.
You're going to get married.
Fine.
Nobody has a problem with that.
Zib Z Ronada.
Oh, yeah.
Cool.
Let's do it.
Let's find a state where it's legal.
The thorn in this is that Lohan's a Catholic.
Oh, yeah, and they want a religious ceremony.
Exactly.
Well, I don't even know if that's the case.
The thorn in this whole story for the parents are, oh, sure.
My daughter's going to marry a woman?
Yeah, let's have a party.
Wait, she's Catholic.
Uh-uh.
I ain't going for that.
I mean, folks.
You mean you couldn't find a nice Jewish girl?
We will not keep a sharp eye on this story.
Details that follow are totally uninteresting to me.
I just wanted to give you the lowdown of this.
Hugo Chavez, dictator, Venezuela, has announced the nationalization of several steel companies in the country to pave way for a large socialist state-run enterprise without giving details on the venture.
Chavez said there's nothing to discuss.
We've been on this for a long time.
So I figure now, how many of there are 30, was it 35 different, what's it nowhere?
Well, all the oil companies and all of these steel companies, see, I'm keeping a tally over who can outdo who, Obama or Chavez in nationalizing industries.
And by my tally, Chavez is ahead 35 to 6.
I know he's been in office longer, so he has a little bit of an advantage.
But he's nationalized the oil companies.
Oh, and he's nationalized some television stations, all the radio stations.
And now he's nationalized steel.
So far, Obama, but I mean, Chavez has a good start.
There's no question of it.
So far, Obama in just a little over 100 days, the auto industry, the banks, the mortgage industry, healthcare's next.
I mean, that's pretty big.
Dollar for dollar, you've got to say Obama's ahead here.
I mean, once he nationalizes one-seventh of the U.S. economy, and Chavez is pounding sand in this little contest.
And of course, Obama's not through because Obama himself may bail out minority broadcasters, which will get the ownership into the broadcast business.
And Obama is, what else are they looking at?
Well, yeah, they've done insurance, too.
Well, but just one insurance.
They haven't nationalized the whole insurance industry.
But there's a couple of things Obama's looking at here to, and they're slipping my mind, nationalized.
But yeah, you're right.
Dollar for dollar.
Obama way ahead of Chavez because we're a much wealthier country.
Well, I don't know, Snerdley.
When you nationalize your oil companies, oh, that's what it is.
Obama's going to nationalize energy.
He's going to put the coal business out of business.
He's going to put the oil business over there somewhere.
Probably let Chavez have that.
And so, yeah, it is nip and tuck out there.
I do.
I have a little, on the computer, I've got a little spreadsheet where I keep track of which dictator is nationalizing more industries, Barack Obama or Hugo Chavez.
And it looks like just a number of industries that Chavez is way ahead.
He's been there a long time, too.
But dollar for dollar is close, you know, Obama because he's nationalizing wealthier industries and taking them over.
So he's nip and tuck.
See, it all depends on how you measure this stuff.
Do you want to own a whole lot of little things or do you want to own a few giant things?
And Obama has chosen the latter.
Now, he will eventually, I think, own California.
I wouldn't believe these stories coming out of Sacramento that the well, coming out of the White House, the White House, so we can't bail out California because then every state's going to want to be bailed out.
And of course, there's nothing wrong with that from Obama's standpoint if we're already $11 trillion in debt and we're printing money with no cause of concern for anything.
And the reason I think he's going to own bailout California is because it's all union workers out there, government union workers, other union workers.
Did you see the movie Men in Black, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, the first one?
Remember at the end of the show, the giant cockroach is out there in Flushing Meadow and it's climbing up one of those towers, which is its secret spaceship.
This giant cockroach, this giant bug, to get back to the mothership up there to own Earth.
And one of the tricks that Will Smith uses is to start squashing little cockroaches on the ground, which upsets the big bug.
The big cockroach stops the trek up to the spaceship, comes back down and swallows Will Smith because Will Smith wants to be swallowed because he's got a vaporizer gun that he's going to blow up from inside the cockroach.
But imagine Obama as the big cockroach and union workers as the little cockroach.
And he looks at union workers getting stomped on by CEOs and everywhere else.
And of course, the union government union workers in California getting stomped on.
So he's the big cockroach and he's going to make sure these little cockroaches don't get stomped on and don't get advanced.
And that's why he's going to nationalize California.
Folks, you have to hear this.
A promo that CNN is running to promote the Sunday show hosted by John King, State of the Union.
Now, they have already, on CNN today, they have already, it's an interview with Tom Ridge, who's the former director of Homeland Security in the Bush administration, governor of Pennsylvania.
And they were talking about Ridge is potentially running for Arlen Specter's seat in the Pennsylvania Senate to replace Specter since Specter, another Republican, has joined the Democrats, a la Colin Powell, the old guard.
And on CNN today, they've already played a portion of the Tom Ridge interview in which Ridge rips Cheney for criticizing Obama.
They are holding another part of the Ridge interview for Air Sunday, and that's what they're promoting.
And here's John King promoting it.
He went on some very interesting things to say, more things to say about the national security debate.
Also, very interesting on why he decided not to run for the Arlen Spector Senate seat up in Pennsylvania.
Many Republicans had wanted him to do that.
And he talks about the future of the Republican Party, and you might want to hear what he thinks about Rush Limbaugh.
So that's how John King is promoting his interview on Sunday with former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge.
He's already ripped Cheney.
They played a portion of the interview where he ripped Cheney for criticizing Obama when Cheney said that Obama's made the country less safe.
So he said, you might be interested to hear what he has to say about Rush Limbaugh.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I last saw Tom Ridge at a football game.
It was in Pittsburgh, and it was not last season.
I think it was season before, maybe two seasons before.
So it's been a couple years.
But I ran into Tom Ridge up there in one of the boxes prior to the game.
I don't even remember who the Steelers were playing.
And I just want to say that he was nice as he could be.
I didn't know he was in the room.
The room was very crowded.
And he sought me out, came up, said hello, talked about his future.
It was purely amicable or amicable.
It was, I mean, it was like two guys on the same team saying hello to one another and having a discussion.
And so now he's given an interview to John King at CNN, and they're promoting the airing of the rest of the interview on Sunday with a tease to tune in to hear what Tom Ridge said about me.
Back to the phones, a cell call from Miami.
TJ, great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey there, Rush.
How are you doing?
Long time, first time from Miami.
Great to have you with us, TJ.
And no, I just couldn't help but think, you know, Joe Biden's promise to pay for everybody's education should have a positive impact on stress test AP poll.
So, you know, and then further, when universal health care comes around, that should further reduce the stress level of everybody.
And then, of course, when he negotiates away nuclear weapons, then we can all sleep well.
And I think that's a good question.
You know, TJ's making a good point here.
TJ is actually making a very good point.
I don't know how easy it was for you to understand it with his cell phone connection, but TJ Miami is making a great point.
He's talking about the poll that we discussed earlier, where 42% of college graduates need medicine for depression.
13% of them are thinking of doing themselves harm or killing themselves.
They're worried about school.
They're worried about their grades.
They're worried about graduating.
They're worried about their futures.
They're worried about money.
They're worried about everything.
They're depressed as hell.
And TJ is saying, why?
Obama's promising everything's going to be taken care of.
Their house is going to be taken care of.
Their health care is going to be taken care of.
What's to be depressed about?
Excellent point out there, TJ.
I'm glad you called to Indianapolis.
John, nice to have you on the EIB network.
Hello.
Hey, Rush, Indy 500 dittos.
And by the way, if you ever ditch your Steelers, there's the Colts team you can wrote for, too.
I was in Indianapolis last year.
Yeah, I know you were.
I was listening to you.
It was a Patriots game.
It was another Sunday night game.
I was in there with NBC.
Yes.
Beautiful stadium.
But the reason I called is I've got a little different take on this Bush interrogation memo writers thing.
I would love for them to go on trial, and I know that's selfish.
I know it'd be hard on them and their families, but you and I know they would win, and that would put an end to all this silliness.
And if we do that, what Obama needs to know is maybe his memo writers for justifying, remember the murder of those poor alleged pirates off the coast of Somalia?
Yeah.
They were denied due process.
No Miranda rights read.
Who wrote those memos?
Maybe we get to try those folks.
By the way, I'm glad you mentioned that.
I disagree within a trial business.
It'd be a total political circus.
The Democrats run the show that Obama's got the judges.
I understand because this is not guaranteed we'd win.
Talk to Scooter Libby about winning.
You know, it's not a guarantee.
But I want to play you a soundbite.
Grab number six here.
This is Obama from the Naval Academy graduation commencement speech today, where he you listen, you tell me if you think that he's bragging about shooting the Somali pirates.
I will not recount the full story of those five days in April.
Much of it is already known.
Some of it will never be known.
And that's how it should be.
But here on this day at this institution, it must be said, the extraordinary precision and professionalism displayed that day was made possible, in no small measure, by the training, the discipline, and the leadership skills that so many of those officers learned at the United States Naval Academy.
There's Obama talking about the Somali pirates, the black teenagers that were shot on Obama's orders.
Well, they were 17 years old, and they were Somalis.
Pirates, no doubt.
But those five days in April.
I'm not going to recount the full story of those five days in April.
Much of it's already known.
Some of it will never be known.
That's how it should be.
Five days in April.
I hear a movie coming.
I hear a movie, five days in April.
It'll be out in time for the Oscars next year and Khan next year.
Five Days in April, how the courageous, brave, historic President of the United States personally wiped out three Somali teenagers.
Personally did it by giving the orders and thereby saving a cargo ship from the ravages of these three teenagers.
Five days in April.
Can't you see it now?
Yeah.
Will Smith will be Obama.
Will Smith will be the SEAL leader.
Will Smith will be the SEAL second in command.
Will Smith will be the captain of the Maersk that was being held hostage.
Will Smith will not play any of the pirates.
But Will Smith will play Obama and the SEAL captain and the SEAL assistant.
And of course, you know, every one of these movies has a communications person named Sparks.
The communications guy is always named Sparks.
And Obama will play the communications guy relaying orders from Obama to Obama to pull the trigger.
And we're back.
It's Rushlin Boy, and this is the EIB Network.
Great to have you here at 800-282-2882.
I just checked the email during the break, and I got to know.
How come you haven't discussed Maureen Dowd's plagiarism?
Did you hear about this?
Apparently in a column last Sunday, she included a paragraph that was 99% word for word from a blogger.
I don't know what paragraph was.
The blogger was Joshua Mitchell.
Yeah, Marshall, Josh Marshall.
And the reason I didn't talk about it, her excuse was that somebody had told her that.
She was in conversation and she thought it sounded good and she included it.
And people began to doubt it because it was word for word for what Josh Marshall wrote.
I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me.
You know, I get thousands of emails.
And over the course of my Sterling broadcast, I'll tell you the last time it happened, I don't even remember the event, but somebody sent me an email reacting to a story I had just done.
And I thought, wow, that's funny.
So I shared it, but I didn't.
I didn't credit the emailer.
Next thing I know, I get this email from Lucy Ann Goldberg, who said, if you're going to steal things from my website, could you at least give me credit?
So I wrote her back.
I said, I hadn't been to your website today.
Somebody sent me this in an email.
And somebody else lifted it.
And then the person, I said, why are you lifting stuff from somebody else's website and sending it to person?
I didn't.
It's my creation.
I didn't do anything.
So I've had that happen to me.
So Maureen Down's excuse somewhat, I mean, I've had it happen to me.
Now, the difference is that she said she reprinted what somebody told her word for word.
That's different than having the words already in your computer where you have to cut and paste.
So I didn't bring it up because it's, I mean, Maureen's unhappy enough.
Folks, without piling on everybody else is piling on her.
I don't know.
It didn't strike me.
There's a story here in the Washington Post.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Obama endorses indefinite detention without trial for some.
We talked about this yesterday and how it appeared he's here's that they're ripping Bush.
It's like he starts his speech yesterday and he says, I don't want to litigate the last eight years.
Then the next Castro-like 55 minutes were nothing but ripping Bush in the last eight years.
Now, you and I couldn't get away with that hypocrisy.
I couldn't, for example, come to you and say at the top of the program, folks, I don't want to talk about Obama today and then spend the whole show on Obama.
I'd get called on it.
But he doesn't get called on it.
And one of the things he said yesterday while not litigating the last eight years was, but after ripping the last eight years and a whole thing about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, he then reserved the right for himself to hold prisoners in detention without charge and without trial.
And I made mention that this was a little hypocritical.
I can't tell you how many emails I got from subscribers to my website who said they were stunned that I had missed it.
Let me read you one as a sample.
I have it right here in my formerly nicotine stained fingers.
The preventive detention rush is not for members of radical Islam.
It's for military vets the Obama administration considers to be a threat.
Think the preventive detention is for American citizens.
It goes hand in hand with Homeland Security Janet Napolitano's documents on groups to watch in this country.
Now, they have withdrawn those documents, by the way.
They've officially withdrawn that whole document said that military people are right-wingers.
But I was struck.
I mean, it was hundreds.
And it was not just military people.
It was some people wrote and said, he's leaving the option open for himself to be able to detain citizens without charge.
And I got to thinking, years ago, getting letters like this, emails like this, oh my gosh, my audience, these people are writing me these letters.
They're kooks.
But this, some of them may be writing these notes, but there are too many of these.
People are looking at this guy that way.
You know, I've told you, there are people who are scared to death about the future of the economy, their kids' futures, all of this spending, the federal government power grabs.
So I find it interesting that there are people out there who think that we have a president who might actually reserve for himself the right to detain people without charge and without trial for American citizens in the context of giving a speech that everybody assumed he was talking about terrorists, international, Islamic terrorists who are threatening the United States.
Marion in Greenville, Ohio, you're next.
Great to have you on the EIB network at Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hey, Rush.
How are you doing?
Good.
Hey, I'm thrilled to talk to you.
What I want to talk to you about, I think Bo may think I'm a little bit crazy because I've called him a couple times to try to get on because there's something going on in my hometown that's just driving us crazy, and I just wanted to talk to somebody about it.
What is it?
Go ahead.
We're here.
We have a large ethanol plant here that's been here for about three or four years, and it's caused all kinds of trouble by running our wells dry and all these great things that it does.
But now we are part of a Department of Energy experiment where they're going to take the CO2 from this ethanol plant and pump it into the ground under our town to cut down on greenhouse gases due to.
Oh, you have got to be kidding.
No, no.
So they're going to carbonate the ground underneath your town.
Yes, yes.
They're going to put a million.
They're crying out loud to save the planet?
Yes, yes.
What are they digging trenches and tunnels to put the CO2 in?
As we speak, they are drilling holes right now to go down into the bedrock.
This is insane as something that happens every day along this regard in San Francisco.
But this is happening in.
Wait a minute.
Is this Ohio or Oregon?
Greenville, Ohio.
Ohio.
Well, you know, what's the biggest close city to you?
Dayton.
Dayton.
Yeah, yeah.
We're catching part of the unemployment from what is the thinking here?
And how are they going to capture the CO2 and then pump it into the holes in the ground?
Well, they somehow liquefy it, and then they're going to inject it and then cap it and walk away from it and leave us with a million tons of CO2 in the ground.
They're crying out loud.
This is like putting 5 million tons of fizzies underneath your town.
Yeah, and we're having meetings.
We're doing what we can do.
We're just a small town in a small rural county, and we know that there's no stopping these kinds of things.
It's going to happen.
Well, here's the thing: CO2 in its normal state is odorless.
Sure.
I mean, it has weight, but it's immeasurable.
It's odorless.
It's tasteless.
And here's the real clincher.
It's harmless.
You bet it is.
You bet.
It's harmless.
That's what just happened.
They are depriving this CO2.
They are depriving.
You got to keep a sharp eye on your trees, your leaves, and your plants, because if they start dying, the greenery may have become accustomed to the CO2 being pumped out with this ethanol factory.
They may hurt the corn that they're growing for the ethanol.
I mean, it's just all crazy.
Well, you liquefy it.
I'm going to have to talk to a chemist.
You liquefy it.
I assume you have to concentrate it to liquefy it.
Or maybe.
You have to concentrate.
You have to lower the temperature, I would assume.
And then you put the concentrated liquid.
They're pumping liquid CO2 in the ground.
It will be in a liquid form from what I read.
They've got a website.
The Department of Energy has a website, and they talk about Greenville, Ohio quite a bit about it.
You know, I think this is a scam.
The idea they're going to be able to capture all this from the smokestacks of the ethanol plant?
Yeah, yeah.
And what's crazy?
What's that look like?
What have I got a bunch of tents up there?
What are they going to capture it in?
Are there tubes coming out of the smokestacks going right into the ground?
I don't know how it's going to look.
I don't know.
They're out there.
A big balloon?
A big balloon over the smokestack?
I don't know.
Has this not been a great open line Friday or what?
So the town of Marion, Ohio.
Greenville, Ohio.
Greenville.
I'm sorry.
You're Marion.
Yeah, I'm Marion.
Greenville, Ohio, perhaps the first town in America to be carbonated.
We will be.
We're part of a, I think there's going to be seven of these places around the Midwest.
They're going to do it.
We're the first town, as far as I know.
We're the first town.
They've done it, I guess.
They've done it in old coal mines, places where there aren't any people already, from what I understand.
But we're going to be the first one that I can find that's under an actual town with real people in it.
Okay, look, you have a computer.
Yes, I do.
Back it up.
I'm going to tell you right now atop.
Seriously, I mean, folks, when I say a carbonated town, I mean, it's CO2 that is injected into soft drinks to make them fizz.
CO2 makes club soda, club soda.
CO2 is injected into even Pellegrino.
So you've got a giant fizzy under there.
Carbonated town.
And you don't know what's going to happen.
You have no clue what's going to happen.
You've got a computer.
Back it up.
And the way to back it up is back up the hard drive, back it up with carbonite off-site, online.
This is one of the smartest things you can do if you are a computer owner.
Every time you log onto the internet, your hard drive is being backed up.
You don't see it.
It doesn't slow down your computer.
It's not a distraction.
You don't have to tell it to happen.
You don't have to ever think about it.
All you have to think about is what happens if you lose your hard drive with all the important documents, the pictures of your family and friends that you love.
A lot of people don't think that they don't have to back up any other appliance or gizmo.
Why back up the computer?
You do because the hard drive in your computer is going to fail at some point, or the cat is going to spill a cup of coffee in it.
It's going to go south at some point.
Now, you can try Carbonite 15 days for free using the offer code rush at carbonite.com.
15 days for free, and you will not have to give them a credit card for this.
It's not a trick.
Mac or PC, got to be an Intel Mac.
Power PC Mac does what it works, $55 a year.
Carbonite.com offer code Rush, especially if your computer will be on the surface of a carbonated town.
You know what?
I'm sitting here thinking, I'm going to have to look into this.
I've heard all these schemes about trapping CO2 emissions from smokestacks.
I've heard about trying to do that, some of the other wacko things, but pumping it underneath a town, I have not heard about it.
I think you people in Greenville, Ohio, you really ought to, I'm serious about this, change the name of the place to Alka-Seltzer Village.
Get into this before it happens.
All right, Chris in Syracuse, Indiana, thank you for calling.
You're next on the Open Line Friday edition of Program.
Hi.
Hello.
Yeah, Rush.
As a matter of fact, I'm from Elkhart, Indiana, where they used to make Alka Saucer.
I'm calling because I was sawing logs and stacking wood last Wednesday listening to your radio program when you, I think it was like the third hour, you started bashing Ron Gettelfinger, calling trade unionists leeches.
We only complain and whine about our evil management.
I wanted to tell you, I'm a 30-year union person.
I've collectively bargained.
I've been a union steward of union unions.
You've held people up.
I've held them up.
I'm kidding.
I'm sorry.
It's been a fun day.
You're a collective bargaining.
Yeah.
And I take exception with your characterization of trade unionist, you know.
I was not talking about, I have been very clear about this.
It's why I mentioned Gettelfinger.
I'm talking about union leaders.
And I don't remember, was this past Wednesday, two days ago, or was it last week?
It was on the 20th.
We were outside stacking wood.
Well, I have to consider.
I'm not disputing.
I would have to get the transcript to find out exactly what I was talking about.
Was it in relationship to the union all of a sudden deciding they don't want to own Chrysler?
No, they don't want to manage Chrysler.
Yeah, that was what I was talking about.
they're using their pension monies to help bail them out.
Yes, isn't that wonderful?
This is the second time that the UAW has...
There's pension money to bail them out.
There's nothing constitutional about this bailout.
That's what's all wrong with this.
The union's being given 55% of the stock.
And Gettelfinger said, after all, we don't want that.
We're going to sell that and fund our retirement program.
So they don't want to run.
I remember what I said.
They don't want to run the company.
They want to leech off of it.
I probably did say that.
Yes, you said leech.
Yes, that was the reference you make.
And I've listened to you for several years, and your attitude toward organized labor.
I mean, I don't understand something.
Where do you think most of the leadership comes from organized labor other than the rank and file?
Well, can I make my point?
My point is this.
So Frank Sinatra, me, if I answer that, I don't want to.
No, stop with the La Coza, no stratage.
I didn't say anything about that.
Now, see, this is why you're making too many assumptions here, Chris.
I've got nothing.
I have said, let me be quick.
I've got about 45 seconds here.
I have nothing against anybody who works in this country.
Nothing.
I don't like people who want to get paid more for doing less, but I don't like the focal point of union leadership being to elect pure, unadulterated liberal Democrats and so forth.
People want to join a union.
That's fine.
I just hope they know what they're getting into when they do it, that they're sacrificing their own ability to earn money based on their individual performance because you become part of a group.
You become part of a contract.
But I have nothing against anybody who works.
That's not true.
What's not true?
Well, number one, which part of it?
The part about COPE was not true.
Well, look, can we get your phone number?
Because I've got to go.
We'll call you next.
Yeah, sorry, because I don't want you thinking that I am giving you a short shrift here.
So we'll talk to her next week about that.
I've got to take a quick timeout back after this.
I thought she was going to be mad at me for comparing state union workers to cockroaches.
And I'm not making that comparison.
It was the movie, now you really, say I don't even have time to explain.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend, folks.
