Time Text
A views expressed by the host on this show, documented to be almost always right 99.1% of the time.
We are here back at our subterranean, super secluded, nobody could ever find it, studio location in Los Angeles.
In fact, we're not actually even in Los Angeles.
We just say we're in the Los Angeles area, but the specific locale, I mean, even people we bring in here are blindfolded and don't know where they're coming.
So they can't tell anybody where they've been.
We are safe and secure, and we're having a blast out here.
Telephone number, if you want to be on the program, is 800-282-2882.
The email address is LRushbo at EIBnet.com.
But I'll tell you that caller last hour who said, you got to stop the Nazi stuff, Rush.
You're sophisticated enough to understand it, but it's making us look bad out there.
These people showing up with the Hitler mustache, Obama with Hitler mustache pictures over there.
You got to stop it, Rush.
It's making this look bad.
You know, checking the email during the break and some of the calls we've got coming up when we get to the next segment, people are fired up.
This is, I think it's monumental what is happening, what has happened here.
We have one party rule in this country.
They can do whatever they want to do, and they are unable to get it done.
I try to put this in some kind of profound context.
Here we have a bunch of people who want to ram something down our throats that they know we don't like.
They don't care.
But they do have an election coming up in 2010.
A number of these, especially Democrats in the House and quite a few of them in the Senate, Harry Reid being one.
And that is what they're concerned about is, of course, their reelection, which is their number one job.
The second job is spending money, maybe spending money first to help them get re-elected.
But they could ram this down their throats, our throats, anytime they wanted to, and they're being stopped.
And they're not being stopped by the Republican Party.
They're not being stopped by the media.
They're being stopped by you.
They're being stopped by the people who make this country work.
Looks, as I pointed out, there's a new poll from NBC.
Two weeks since the town hall meetings on health care became a national story, Americans remain skeptical about White House plans to overhaul the health care system.
A plurality believe Obama's health plan would worsen the quality of health care.
That is stunning.
They're right.
And who's gotten that message out for them?
It hasn't been the drive-by media.
It hasn't been the state-run media.
How is it that people know this?
A plurality believe that Obama's health plan would worsen the quality of health care, a result virtually unchanged from last month's NBC poll.
And what's more, only four in 10, only 40%, approve of the president's handling of the issue.
And even more numbers, 54%, a clear majority, more concerned that the government will go too far reforming health care.
41% more worried that the reform will not do enough to lower costs and cover the uninsured.
In other words, nobody's got any confidence that anybody on the Democrat side is going to be able to accomplish what they say they want to accomplish.
There are doubts, galore.
Now, if the protests are hurting our cause, how come these numbers?
If the protests are hurting our cause, how come Obama's approval number is plummeting?
How come his support on the health care issue is plummeting?
They are working.
They're working big time.
And here's another thing.
You go to these kook web pages, Daily Coast for one.
At the Daily Coast, you have John Kerry has a page or they blog or post comments.
Hillary has one.
Ted Kennedy, Pelosi, every other top Democrat have a page there, and they go to their conventions and they praise their great works like Hillary did.
Now, how come they've never spoken out about how the writers at Daily Coast have mentioned Hitler at least 15 million times?
And I'm not making it up.
You do a Google search, Hitler site, Daily Coast, 14,900,000 English pages where the word Hitler and Bush or Republicans has been mentioned over the course of the past number of years.
Now, how come these Democrats don't care about that?
Bush was Hitler.
We had to listen to how it was art to read a book on how to assassinate George W. Bush.
It's all this Nazi stuff.
It's just phony baloney.
It's the Democrats unable to take the heat.
It is the media not wanting you to know that these protests are working.
Here, F. Chuck Todd of MSNBC on Scarborough show this morning and talking about the healthcare plan.
And F. Chuck said this.
This is what happened to the Clintons in the 90s.
And what's happening to the Obama White House is that they haven't been able to tell the American people that have private insurance what they get out of health care reform.
They're hearing what they're not going to have or what the opposition says they're not going to have.
They're not hearing what new they're going to get.
At the end of the day, we're kind of a selfish society and healthcare is a very personal thing.
Healthcare is a very personal.
We're a selfish society and people are.
No, this is not selfishness, F. Chuck.
It's self-interest.
And there's a huge difference between selfishness and self-interest.
You know, it's called staying alive.
Remember that?
The Bee Gees.
Staying alive.
The American people know that they have a primary objective that's taking on even more urgency if Obama wins this thing, and that's staying alive.
I just, I listen to contempt that these people have for you, for the American people, and you are befuddling them and you're beating them back.
And don't forget the Gallup conservatives now outnumber liberals in all 50 states.
We are a conservative country.
We are not a liberal socialist country.
We don't want what Obama is offering.
They can sit there all day long like Eleanor Cliff did and lament and desire, where's the Obama who ran for office?
Where's the great campaign?
You're looking at him.
And here's another great story, and this is out of Congressional Quarterly Politics.
The headline, some Obama promises must wait.
Well, I say, hallelujah.
President Obama sounded a bit like a weary air traffic controller on August 10th when he was quizzed during a three-way summit with leaders from Mexico and Canada about a promised overhaul of U.S. immigration law.
He said, I got a lot on my plate.
It's very important for us to sequence these big initiatives in a way where they don't all just crash at the same time, where they all don't just crash, meaning crash and burn.
It all means that a large number of political promises Obama made during historic campaign, it says here, have been pushed to the back of the agenda.
Most of them, in fact, have been pushed to the back.
The PolitiFact.com website, which compiled a list of 515 Obama promises, lists 374 of them under the category of no action.
No child left behind, Gulf Coast revitalization, immigration on the back burner now.
And don't forget, Jack Murthy said, I don't think we're even going to get health care.
I don't think we're going to get health care this year.
I don't think we're going to get a vote maybe until January.
He said, this is just way too complicated.
Now, here is a story that's truly frightening.
And when I read this, it's a politico.
It made me ask, where do I live?
What country do I live in?
House Democrats are probing the nation's largest insurance companies for lavish spending, demanding areams of compensation data and schedules of retreats and conferences.
Now, this from the bunch that tried to buy eight brand new corporate jets to fly themselves all over the country and around the world.
A bunch that routinely votes themselves pay raises.
They take junkets to fine hotels and resorts.
So here we go, all-out war now on the insurance industry.
And even if there is no government option, even if there's no government option, I guarantee you, Obama and his crowd plan to run the private industry even more than they're running it now.
The Democrats, House Democrats have sent letters to 52 insurance companies demanding extensive documents for an examination of extensive compensation and other business practices in the health insurance industry.
The letters set a deadline of September 14th for the documents, as though these businesses have nothing better to do than produce a bunch of it's reminded me of my stupid New York tax audit that's been going on since October.
Documents after documents after documents.
All for an anal exam by Dr. Henry Waxman.
Henry Waxman wants to give all these people anal exams, find out who they're paying, how much they're paying him.
Is it too much?
I mean, they are going to harass these people to the point that the insurance company says, screw it.
We can't afford to stay in business this way, and we don't want to.
Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and Representative Bart Stupak, Democrat Michigan, chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight Investigations, signed these three-page letters that are dated on Monday.
An insurance industry source replied when asked for a comment, this is nothing more than a taxpayer-funded phishing expedition designed to silence health plans.
By September 4th, the insurance agencies, companies, are supposed to supply detailed compensation data for board members and top executives, as well as a table listing all conferences, retreats, or other events held outside company facilities from January 1st, 2007 to the present that were paid for, reimbursed, or subsidized in whole or in part by your company.
Now, this from the same damn Congress trying to sneak in eight new Gulfstream jets so they can go all over the world at our expense.
The point is, this is none of Henry Waxman's business.
This is outside the U.S. Constitution.
Obama does not have the constitutional authority to take over an automobile company, but he owns two.
He doesn't have the constitutional authority to ram health care down everybody's, but he's trying to do that.
You know, the Constitution here, you talk about something being thrown under the bus.
The Constitution has not been thrown under the bus, but the bus is backing up and forward and backing forward over the, they're just trashing the hell out of it.
And all we're trying to do is just keep up, stay alive.
All right, a quick timeout here, my friends.
come back and I'm excited to get some of these phone calls because the passion is out there about these protests and the efforts that are underway, subtle and otherwise, to get you to stop doing it.
Don't go away.
You know what the latest food that fights cancer is?
Popcorn.
Yes, I have it in the stack of stuff.
Popcorn is the latest food you can eat.
I don't know if it's made with coconut oil or not, but popcorn is the latest cancer-fighting food.
This is just great.
Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, opened her program today this way.
Our new NBC News poll shows misinformation is heavily clouding public opinion on health care.
55% believe the myth that illegal immigrants could be covered.
54% believe it will lead to a government takeover.
And half believe that tax dollars would fund abortions.
Despite White House efforts to dispel all of those rumors, 45% still believe that the proposed legislation includes the so-called death panels.
These numbers are not good for the White House.
It shows that they're not getting their message out.
No, no, no, no.
It shows that their message is getting out, Andrea.
There is no disinformation here.
There's no disinformation.
There's no misinformation.
It shows that their message is getting out and people don't like it.
The message is the House bill.
You say there aren't any death panels here?
Well, there certainly aren't any life panels.
We don't hear about any, we don't talk in any of this.
We're not hearing about improved medical care.
We're not hearing anything but a focus on dollars and saving money and squeezing doctors and so forth.
Now, this business, tax dollars would fund abortions.
Let's go back to the archives.
This is July 17th, 2007 in Washington.
Obama, candidate, speaking to Planned Parenthood.
And during the Q ⁇ A, the following question was asked.
You know that rights and access and rights and ability have to go hand in hand.
And we know that health care reform is an important part of your agenda.
Could you talk, give us some specifics about how reproductive health care and women's health care is going to fit into and be a part of primary care for women in your health care reform plans and how Planned Parenthood will continue to be a part of the health care safety net for women and families across the country.
Now, this is coded language.
When they talk about reproductive health care, it's abortion.
Reproductive health care is abortion.
Here's Obama's answer.
In my mind, reproductive care is essential care.
It is basic care.
And so it is at the center and at the heart of the plan that I've proposed.
Essentially, what we're doing is to say that we're going to set up a public plant that all persons and all women can access if they don't have health insurance.
It'll be a plan that will provide all essential services, including reproductive services.
We also will subsidize those who prefer to stay in the private insurance market, except the insurers are going to have to abide by the same rules in terms of providing comprehensive care, including reproductive care.
All right, folks, it couldn't be more clear.
He just explained here how his health care plan would provide abortion as basic care.
And furthermore, he was going to force the private insurance market to have to abide by the same rules.
Now, here's Andrea Mitchell saying, White House efforts to dispel all these notions that tax dollars would fund abortions.
They most definitely would.
Look, this guy is a big pro-abort guy.
Don't forget, this is the guy who voted three times in Illinois to go ahead and allow a botched abortion, child that survives the abortion, not to be saved.
I mean, you can't get more pro-abort than this guy is.
And when he starts talking about reproductive services, reproductive health care.
What else could it mean?
We already have reproductive health care if you're talking about prenatal, postnatal.
This is abortion.
And here he went on to explain the same date, same time.
He went on to explain the Planned Parenthood role.
And by the way, Planned Parenthood, they make money off abortions.
Planned Parenthood's asking this question to find out, are you going to have abortions taxpayer-funded?
Are we going to be hurt here?
What role are we going to have in reproductive services?
Planned Parenthood's role in reproductive services is abortion.
Here was Obama's answer.
The role that organizations like Planned Parenthood play.
Obviously, my hope under a universal health care system is that everybody's got access to basic care and we have less of a patchwork quilt of services.
I still believe that it is important for organizations like Planned Parenthood to be part of that system.
Of course.
I believe we can have universal health care in this country by the end of the next president's first term, by the end of my first term as president of the United States America.
Right on, right on.
Andrea Mitchell, all upset, complaining.
People told pollsters that Bush lied and weapons of mass destruction.
She wasn't worried about that misinformation.
But now she's all worried about, and it isn't misinformation, Andrea, it is the truth.
People have found out what this health care bill is, and they are reacting to that.
Bill in Carlsbad, New Mexico, as we get to the phones, great to have you here, sir, and thank you for waiting.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
I want you to know that thanks to a gift subscription by my friend Barkley Gibson, I am a 24-7 subscriber.
And I would like to get you to comment on something.
My concern is with the attitude of the last caller.
If we were to recognize that what is taking place in the United States today is very similar, almost identical to what took place in Nazi Germany, apart from all the atrocities, then I think we'd be yelling louder.
I don't know that people understand that we are on the verge of the fundamental collapse of the United States as we know it.
Would you comment on that, please?
Yeah, I've said as much.
I think that there's an effort here to remake the country in a new image.
I think Obama's got a chip on his shoulder about how unjust and immoral this nation's been since its founding.
And this is what people recognize.
It's clear as a bell now, vis-a-vis this health care bill, what the overall Obama agenda.
And let's not forget the stimulus package, which has not created any new jobs.
The economy is not getting any better after Obama's done his magic.
So the bloom is off the rose.
I got a quick timeout here.
Interesting little tidbit information about the woman at Barney Frank's protest the other day.
Now, back to Andrea Mitchell.
Can you play that soundbite again?
Soundbite number 30, Andrea Mitchell.
I have a simple question to ask her after this.
Our new NBC News poll shows misinformation is heavily clouding public opinion on health care.
55% believe the myth that illegal immigrants could be covered.
54% believe it will lead to a government takeover.
And half believe that tax dollars would fund abortions.
Despite White House efforts to dispel all of those rumors, 45% still believe that the proposed legislation includes the so-called death panels.
These numbers are not good for the White House.
It shows that they're not getting their message out.
There's no misinformation here.
And Andrea, if all of this is nothing but rumor, why don't you do your job?
Why don't you disprove each of these points rather than just berate the people for buying into rumors?
I mean, if you know that there's no government takeover and if you know illegal immigrants are not going to be covered and if you know that abortion is not going to be paid for with taxpayer dollars, then show us.
Tell people, but you can't.
I don't even think she knows.
I really don't think half these people in the state-controlled media know what's in this plan.
It's just, we got to get it done for Obama.
We got to get it done for Obama.
But look, if there's no abortion in a healthcare plan, if there's no taxpayer-funded abortion, somebody explained to me why Planned Parenthood is lobbying for it.
Planned Parenthood thrives, financially survives, performing abortions, counseling women to do it.
I guarantee you, if there were no taxpayer dollars for abortion in this health care bill, they'd be demanding that there are dollars.
But they're not doing that.
They're lobbying for the bill to be supported.
And Andrea, you may not know what's in the plan, but I know you read the New York Times, July 20th, 2009, headline, health bill might direct tax money to abortion.
You know where they put this?
They buried this in the money and policy section of the New York Times.
An Obama administration official refused Sunday.
This is Peter Orzog.
And we talked about it at the time.
Peter Orzog refused Sunday to rule out the possibility that federal tax money might be used to pay for abortions.
I mean, Andrea, come on.
It is what it is.
A little tidbit of information about the woman at the Barney Frank protest.
And again, let's see.
I want to hear that.
Play number 10.
Audio soundbite number 10.
A woman holding an Obama as Hitler poster asks Barney Frank why he supports Obama's Nazi health care policy.
When you ask me that question, I am going to revert to my ethnic heritage and ask to your question with the question, on what planet do you spend most of your time?
You stand there with a picture of the president to face to look like Hitler and compare the effort to increase health care to the Nazis.
My answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the First Amendment that this kind of vile, contemptible nonsense is so freely propagated.
Sim, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table.
I have no interest in doing it.
Al Larry King on CNN showed that clip, showed that video clip of Barney Frank whacking the woman because of what planet she lives on, even though, again, we all know that Barney patrols Uranus.
In the full video, the woman makes it clear.
Well, she's a Democrat.
She's a Lyndon LaRouche Democrat.
And she was not a conservative.
She is not.
We had this caller in the first hour.
Rush, you got to get these people to stop it.
It's making us look bad.
This is a Lyndon LaRouche Democrat showing up.
A lot of these town hall people protesting are Democrats showing up at their own congressman's office.
So there's so many myths and stereotypes out there that are being blown to smithereens in this argument, too.
All of it is positive.
Tom and Maple Grove, Minnesota, you're next, and it's great to have you here.
Hi.
Megha Dittos, Rush.
Thank you.
I just have a general comment on this health care bill.
If it gets passed, I'm afraid that the language that they use to write these bills is so vague and filled with loopholes looking down the road.
What happens when lawyers and liberal activists judges start getting involved?
Well, liberal lawyers have written this and so forth.
What do you mean?
They're going to start finding a whole host of things in this bill that aren't apparent right now.
You mean when people take elements of it to court?
Yes, down the road a ways.
I don't know.
See, that's one of the great unanswered questions is just where can you sue?
I don't think I read something earlier in the week.
I don't think there is an appeals process here.
I don't know that it's going to end up in court.
I guess it could.
I mean, if it does, you're right.
Your point is that they're writing law anyway at the bench.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's a genuine concern.
There's no question.
Tom, I appreciate it.
Who's next?
Rebecca Sherry in Quad Cities, Illinois.
Hi, and welcome to the EIB Network.
Hi, Rush.
Megan Didos from the Quad Cities, 200 miles to the west of Chicago, but in no way to the left.
Ah, yes.
Thank you.
I want to tell you that I love your use of humor.
I'm immeasurably appreciative of what you say, how you say it, and when you say it.
Well, you know what?
I do too.
I love listening to myself talk.
And if you were as right as I am all the time, you'd love hearing yourself talk too.
Case in point.
Okay.
My point is this, Rush.
I watched the Montana Town Hall meeting in which President Obama spoke about how he's going to pay for this health care and a number of the dollars that would come from saved money by limiting deductions.
If I could have a Hugo Chavez moment, I would take him, I would have, at a town hall meeting, taken him the book by Judge Judy Sheldon, Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining.
I think that sums up a lot of our frustration within this country.
My concern has to do with his assumption of income flow.
If he lowers these deductions on people, I don't care what their earnings are, $250,000 or more is the limit he gives so that most of us feel safe.
It's going to divert, people will just divert their earnings.
They'll work to get under that threshold.
So he's saying, like we're all supposed to be mindless sheep, that he's going to raise their rate, lower the rate of deduction, I'm sorry, and that's going to keep the money coming in.
That's how we're going to pay for it.
We're not supposed to think for ourselves.
Well, guess what?
We have brains we do.
Yeah, this is the static analysis of behavior after tax policy has changed versus dynamic.
And Obama does seem to think that there is no end to being able to tap the private sector and wealthy people, that they're always going to be producing wealth and they're always going to have it and there's always going to be money for him to get.
But what he's really doing with this is just playing the class envy card.
He knows or he thinks that he's going to have a much easier time selling this if he convinces most people it's going to be free for them.
It's not going to cost them anything.
Hey, is there raise taxes on a couple millionaires?
And by the way, we're going to limit their tax shelters.
We're going to limit their deductions.
We're going to make sure they can't shield it.
We're going to soak them.
Now, once he does that, see, that's not accidental.
Remember, these people love crisis.
They thrive on it because crisis gives them an opportunity to propose even more government to fix whatever crisis they've caused.
Now, if they actually do eliminate for incomes over $250,000 a year all deductibility of charitable donations, then it's going to kill charities 50,000 times worse than Bernie Madoff did or Madoff.
Because a lot of people do philanthropic works because they just are philanthropic and they like doing good things.
But a lot of people do it for the tax deduction.
A lot of people buy houses just to get the mortgage deduction.
If you take that away, you are going to really harm charities.
Fewer and fewer private donations are going to be made.
And that's going to lead to a crisis.
And guess what?
Obama will be able to come in and say, well, we'll have to fix this problem too.
And we're going to raise taxes on people so we can redirect some of that money.
This is about how to kill the golden goose.
And folks, I have said this, I don't like saying it, but I've said this over and over again.
This is not accidental.
This is not naivete.
This is a desire to take the money that exists in the hands of people who have it now and redistribute it to Obama's friends, the disadvantaged victims, whoever, because Obama believes that most people who have a lot of wealth have not come by it honestly, that they've done it in an unjust or immoral way because the American system of capitalism is unjust and immoral.
So this stimulus bill, I mean, the purposeful attack on the U.S. economy, nobody with any economic literacy would propose this kind of stimulus package, porculus package, thinking that it's actually going to create jobs or that it's going to save jobs.
And especially where the money's going and what, 5% of it spent the first year.
So here we have close to 3 million people who've lost their jobs, and they're talking about doubling down and doing another stimulus.
I mean, they're stupid.
You know, there's a term I like to use called stupid, educated, stupid.
And these are educated, stupid people.
They know what they're doing.
And they're just hoping that they're going to continue to be able to get away with it because exactly what you said.
There are far more people that make less than $250,000 who think they're not going to get touched.
The only problem for those people is they're losing their jobs left and right.
And there aren't a whole lot of job opportunities for them out there.
So this is a willful, purposeful destruction of the capitalist U.S. economy.
And healthcare is the number one, well, maybe in the way he's looking at it, the final nail in the coffin.
That's why it's crucial.
Alexandria, Virginia next.
Maureen, thank you for calling.
How are you?
I am fine.
I was listening to your show yesterday with Mark Stein, and he was talking about, you know, the British health system is the third largest employer in the world.
So I was wondering what ours would be in the first place once it went in.
But my husband and my daughter both work for the government as contractors.
And let me tell you, I think the federal employee has got to be one of the laziest, most uneducated group of people that work in the United States.
Well, I'll bite.
Why?
Well, because in the first place, they can't get fired.
There is no way.
They get to spend all the money they want.
And at the end of the year, if they haven't spent all of their allotment, they go around and ask, if you want anything, put in your request because we've got all this money yet to spend.
I think they all probably are pretty well related, or they know somebody who's in there and gets the daughter of or the son of or the nephew of somebody they know in there to work.
I don't know how they do their hiring practices, but I don't think it's really 100% totally above board.
Plus, they have so many regulations.
And then they'll get a new supervisor, and a new supervisor will come in and want to change everything because of the way it's running.
He doesn't understand, or it's not the way he wants it, or he wants to make a name for himself.
And they constantly are spinning their wheels.
There's no forward progress.
I don't see how they're ever going to be able to run something of this size or anything.
I know.
What do they run efficiently now?
I mean, these people can't even run the cash for clunkers program.
Here's a measly little $1 billion program, and they can't even run that.
This is the second story on this this week.
The Washington Post.
Car dealers are growing increasingly impatient with the government's slow pace in reimbursing them for accepting trade-ins as part of its popular cash for clunkers program, even though the transportation department says they're working to address the delays.
The National Automobile Dealers Association estimates that dealers have hundreds and in some cases thousands of applications pending that are worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
The cars are gone.
They're out the showroom floor.
The customers are driving them.
The dealers have not been reimbursed to $3,500 or $4,500.
In Maryland alone, dealers have put in $36 million in claims under the Clunkers program.
They have been reimbursed for only about 2% of the total.
Yeah.
I've gone long again, ladies and gentlemen.
I must take it.
We're right in the middle of another brilliant point.
I must take a timeout.
Back after this.
This is just fabulous.
This is great.
I'm watching this doofus Gibbs.
He's doing the White House briefing.
We had a big bunch of violence, 95 deaths and injuries in Baghdad.
And Gibbs is saying, this just goes to show that extremists can wreak havoc anywhere.
Now, I remember when George W. Bush was president and three people would be injured with an IED, and we would get two days' worth of reporting about the incompetence of the U.S. military, the incompetence of the Bush administration, how Rumsfeld had to be canned and fired and drawn and quartered and strung up.
And now, why, this just shows extremists are bad everywhere.
How about the incompetence of the Obama administration in manifesting the situation over there?
Not to mention what's happening in Afghanistan.
We are saddled with the biggest bunch of incompetence.
And it poses a great threat.
But the point I was making in this cash for clunker business, you've got these automobile dealers who are out, in one case, $36 million in Maryland.
They've been reimbursed for 2% of it.
It's a tiny program.
The Department of Transportation is having to hire contract workers to deal with it.
How many people work in the DOT sitting around doing nothing in the first place?
What does it take to sit here and reimburse the dealers?
You see, the end result is not what matters to Obama.
What matters is people are out the door in their new cars.
They're potential voters.
Screw the dealers.
We'll get to them when we have time.
We have other priorities.
I just, I look at this bunch.
Folks, I cannot tell you how proud of you I am.
And I don't mean to sound paternalistic.
I'm saying this as one of you.
You and you alone have totally turned this administration upside down and inside out.
They don't know what to do.
They don't know what to say from day to day.
They're double flip-flopping.
In the same day, they send this doofus cartoon character like Gibbs out there, and it's a laugh riot. to watch one of these White House press briefings.
And remember, we were told he was the smartest and the brightest, perhaps the best potential White House press secretary there had ever been.
And they're a laughing stock.
We'll be back.
Don't vanish.
Very interesting.
A lot of people sending me emails thinking that Gibbs was comparing Iraqi extremists to those of you showing up at the town halls.
Well, extremists are out there everywhere.
Not much you can do about them.
I hadn't thought of that, but I can't rule it out, this bunch.
By the way, Andrea Mitchell, you need to do a report for us.
Tell us how stupid the car dealers are for demanding their money back.
They just don't understand the program.
