Time Text
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, Rush Limbaugh, talent on loan from God.
Fastest three hours in media.
It's already a third hour here today.
Here's the phone number.
We'll get to more of your phone calls today.
Of course, 800-282-2882, the email address, LRushbo at EIBnet.com.
By the way, I wanted to mention something to you.
Patrick Kennedy talking about how that one sign out there that he's now worried about violence, Barry Obamacare with Kennedy.
That sign was from the American Life League.
Somebody at the American Life League did that sign.
They're an anti-abortion group.
And in every picture of that sign, you see the name of the group covered in every picture, the sign that they put out there to try to besmirch it.
But here's their mission statement.
American Life League exists to serve God by helping to build a society that respects and protects individual innocent human beings from creation and natural death without compromise, without exception, without apology.
These are the people that did the sign.
So it's the anti-abortion group, and it was all based on the fact that federal funds for abortion will be used in the healthcare plan that Senator Kennedy himself was the author of.
All right, now here's some more feedback on what, as I mentioned earlier, if you're just joining us, I've been asked, I've been invited, whatever, to serve as a judge in the Miss America pageant January 24th through 31st in Las Vegas.
And so I asked the audience for some feedback.
Should I do this or not?
I was going to be interested because it's a week-long commitment.
And from the invitation, it looks like I'd have to miss a whole week.
And if I were to do this, I can't do that.
I'd have to do at least two or three days shows out there from 9 to noon.
But I don't know what the schedule is.
They say it's a week-long, heavy commitment.
For example, you arrive out there on a Sunday by noon, and the first meeting's at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
They're not even enough time to hit the casino.
It's at the Planet Hollywood thing.
Now, among the people who think I should do it are these reasons.
You can say that you're going to be a judge to do research into why women that age are so sad and depressed and unhappy.
Well, you don't know this, Rachel, but we've had stories all last week about women that are just unhappy.
The Huffington Post has a new blog about why women are so unhappy.
And I could probably fix that single-handedly.
So you could say you're going to be a judge to do research into why.
Here's another series of reasons why I should do it.
You can show Perez Hilton how to be professional and have class.
We would all be able to officially call you Judge Limbaugh.
After all, you do come from a long line of judges in your family.
Once you officially judge beautiful women, it makes you an expert on beautiful women and gives you the right to talk about beautiful women as it relates to the women's movement, which I've always said I love the women's movement, especially walking behind it.
Number four, it'll drive the libs crazy.
And five, you may never get this opportunity again.
So, I mean, all kinds of ideas and reasons that I should do this, which are surfacing out there.
Now, back to the audio soundbites.
We'll go to MSNBC last night.
Lawrence O'Donnell, filling in on the program, had this to say about the vast right-wing conspiracy.
What got this all started was Bill Clinton on Meet the Press Sunday was asked if the vast right-wing conspiracy is still out there.
And he said, yeah, it's out there.
It's not as variable as it used to be.
It's not as big, not as have most impact, but yeah, it's still there.
It is virulent.
It's variable as always was.
They're not going to win anything.
But yeah, of course, they're still out there.
Now, remember, the vast right-wing conspiracy was a creation by his wife on the Today Show at Mount Lauer to distract from the fact that Bill Clinton had unzipped his pants with an intern who had delivered a pizza.
Of course, it was us, the vast right-wing conspiracy, who arranged for that intern, Monica Lewinsky, to be hired.
It was us, the vast right-wing conspiracy, who saw to it that she accepted the pizza delivery and took it into the oval orifice.
It was us, and this was no mean feat.
It was us, the vast right-wing conspiracy.
I, of course, the Mr. Big of that conspiracy.
It was us who got hold of a sample of Clinton's semen and stained Monica Lewinsky's blue dress with it.
And it had to be a dark dress.
It couldn't be a light-colored dress.
It had to be a dark dress.
We are the ones behind all of that.
We made Clinton do it.
We got Lewinsky in there.
So here they are now discussing the vast right-wing conspiracy all over again because Clinton mentioned it.
The right wing has not only survived, it has thrived and expanded.
Case in point, the story of two black students in Illinois beating up a white student on a school bus.
The Drudge Report trumpeted the story on its front page: white student beaten on school bus.
Crowd cheers.
Rush Limbaugh ran with that and said the incident was part of Obama's America.
And then Fox News echoed the Drudge Limbaugh talking points throughout the day.
We have some 21st-century news for you here.
The vast right-wing propaganda machine is not shrinking, it is growing.
So he explains the vast right-wing conspiracy, credits me as being Mr. Big, and then says Clinton's wrong.
It's growing.
He added this.
When President Clinton started on the national stage, Rush Limbaugh was not anything like the national phenomenon he became during the Clinton years.
Now Barack Obama has Rush Limbaugh to deal with on a daily basis, as well as Glenn Beck.
Right there, you've got double the burden that Bill Clinton ever faced.
These guys live under the illusion that I came to fame only because of Bill Clinton.
And I kind of get tired repeating this.
We started in 1988 with 56 radio stations.
By the time Clinton was inaugurated in 1992 or 93, we had 500.
And we added 112 affiliates during the Clinton years.
I mean, excuse me, I was already a phenomenon prior to Clinton serving in office.
Now, also, same show.
MSNBC, some managing editor of a blog, CrooksandLiars.com, Dave, I don't know how he pronounces it, N-E-I-W-E-R-T, Neewert, Nywert.
Anyway, here's what he said.
Limbaugh's audience wasn't anything the size in 93 and 94 that it is now.
So, yeah, it's significantly greater, sort of in the blogosphere, we call it the Wurlitzer, the right-wing Wurlitzer, and this refers to the sort of the orchestrated talking point machine that the right-wing has put up.
And so much of this is just, like I say, is provably false stuff.
Everything from, you know, talking about taking our guns away to the birthers to the death panels, as you say.
It has an unhinging effect on the audience, and particularly when people start to believe this stuff.
And it has a really toxic effect on the national discourse as a result.
Yeah, here we go again.
It's us that are not civil.
Who put me up anywhere?
What do you mean?
Oh, well, this, look, I know.
That's also been that I was discovered by Roger Ailes, who I didn't even meet for four years after my radio show started.
But at any rate, these are the guys.
These are the guys, you talk about the right-wing echo machine.
These are the guys that when Dick Cheney was named the vice president running mate with Bush, 15,000 media people all said he's there to add gravitational echo machine.
Echo machine, it exists on the left.
Again, projection.
Yesterday afternoon, CNN, the Situation Room, with Jeopardy contestant Wolf Blitzer.
Oh, sorry, he wasn't there.
The fill-in host was Suzanne Malvo.
And she was speaking with, oh, by the way, let's not forget what Julia Julianne does some other Malvo babe who told Julianne Malvo, who said on television once that she hoped Clarence Thomas's wife fed him a lot of bacon and eggs so he'd die of heart disease.
And they tell we're uncivil.
At any rate, Donna Brazil, talking about Clinton's assertion that the vast right-wing conspiracy still exists.
Suzanne Malvau said to Donna Brazil, does the president have a point?
I'm not going to disagree with Bill Clinton on this, but I will say this.
Rush Limbaugh today on his show said, we are working and fighting to make sure Obama fails.
They want the president to fail.
That's their agenda.
Damn straight it is.
Happily, proudly shout it and say it as often as necessary.
The discussion then continued with Republican strategerist Rich Galen and Donna Brazile over whether Rush Limbaugh the entertainer goes too far.
Let me say this about a vast right-wing conspiracy led by Rush Limbaugh, an entertainer.
You have to allow those really anti-government, anti-Republican, anti-democracy, whatever it is, you need to let them have a voice so that there's an escape mechanism.
But there are times when the entertainer goes so far and trying to inject some real nasty topics out there.
I don't think people wake up in the morning on Capitol Hill behind us here and say, I'm not going to vote until I listen to Rush today.
Well, there are a lot who will not go against Mr. Limbaugh because they're scared.
Now, there's Rich Galen, used to work for GOPAC and for Newt Gingrich, who seems to have bought into the notion here that this program is pure entertainment.
But you know, when I hear things like this, I think of all the Whoopee Goldberg appearances for Bill Clinton that were profane and ugly.
And I think of Bill Maher, the entertainer, who is just deranged and obsessed and consumed with hatred.
All of these people on the left.
And we never seem to ask questions.
Are these entertainers going too far?
No, we are to marvel at their art.
And in some cases, we're to even fund it from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Bill Press, MSNBC with Nora O'Donnell yesterday afternoon, they played a clip of me talking about Clinton.
We talk about a potential vast right-wing conspiracy.
Just want to play for you what Rush Limbaugh had to say today about what Bill Clinton told David Gregory.
Listen very carefully.
There are lots of people who are opening up their eyes that this is not what I voted for.
So they can't force their weak ideas on us.
What do they do?
They blame it on the evil and vast right-wing conspiracy.
When the polling gets bad and state-controlled media start to catch on to their lies and misdeeds, and it's time to blame it all on the evil and vast right-wing conspiracy.
And as usual, Bill Press gets the whole thing wrong, misses the whole point.
He was asked, what do you think about what Rush said?
As usual, Rush Limbaugh does not know what the hell he's talking about.
Look, when I hear people say, this is not what we voted for, Nora, they're from the left, not from the right.
They're people who say, we didn't vote for another war in Afghanistan, or we didn't vote for a health care reform that doesn't have a public plan option at it.
Here's the problem, I think, with what former President Clinton said.
He got one word wrong.
Vast.
There used to be a vast right-wing conspiracy.
Today, I would say at best, it's a mini-right-wing conspiracy.
It's not as vast.
It's not as effective.
You know, that's right.
It's not as vast.
It's not as effective.
We don't have any votes that can stop anything you Democrats want to do in Congress, and you still can't get anything done.
Why?
Because the vast right-wing conspiracy is informing the American.
Why do you think all these people out there are all of a sudden upset with what they got when they voted for Obama?
It's because somebody's out there telling them exactly who he is and what he's doing and what his plans involve and entail, such as cap and tax, such as a health care plan.
I think the vast right-wing conspiracy is vaster still, larger and more powerful and potent than it's ever been.
Led, of course, by me, as acknowledged by these clowns.
But, Mr. Press, you missed the point.
It is exactly, I mean, the people on the right are not surprised by Obama.
We knew it.
That's why we voted against him.
The people who are having their eyes opened are precisely the people on the left and the people in the middle.
And a lot of people on the left don't care about health care and public options.
They care about jobs, Mr. Press, and there aren't any.
After Mr. Obama said he was going to fix that with the stimulus bill and the porculus bill and the TARP bailout and taking over the auto companies and all this, we're going to have a utopia.
And we have a disaster.
So again, the short-sighted ignorance of your average media liberal on full display, once again, on the place for it.
PMS NBC.
Quick timeout.
We'll be back.
Your phone calls are coming up next after this.
Don't go away.
By the way, this vast right-wing conspiracy business, let's not remember how she wrapped up that interview with Matt Wauer.
I have the transcript here.
Lauer says, if an American president had an adulterous liaison in the White House and lied to cover it up, should the American people ask for his resignation?
Hillary said, well, they should certainly be concerned about it.
Matt Wauer, should they ask for his resignation?
Hillary Clinton, well, I think that if all that were proven true, I think it'd be a very serious offense.
But that's not going to be proven true, Matt.
I think we're going to find some other things.
And I think that when all of this is put into context and we really look at the people involved here, look at their motivations and look at their backgrounds, look at their past behavior, some folks are going to have a lot to answer for.
That is how Mrs. Clinton ended the vast right-wing conspiracy interview.
That the whole notion that there was a vast right-wing conspiracy behind this Lewinsky thing is absurd.
Look at now.
Clinton brings it up again, which is the worst thing he could do because you bring that up and all you do is bring up the Lewinsky affair all over again.
While Clinton's out there trying to carve a niche for himself as world savior, what are these guys that bring vast right-wing conspiracy equals Lewinsky?
And here's Hillary saying, other people did this to my husband.
A good friend of mine said, why are you playing soundbites of Bill Press?
Who cares what press says anyway?
Because I wanted to illustrate, Bill Press used to be some party leader in California, the Democrats.
Then he went CNN.
Then he went to MSNBC.
Now he's on Air America.
What's next for Bill Press?
Airport radar broadcasts?
I mean, these are the guys that become the expert commentators and so forth.
What's the old joke?
If you wanted to cancel a new TV series, put it on MSNBC.
If you want to end somebody's career, put them on that network.
All right, Bruce in Greenville, South Carolina.
I'm glad you called, sir.
I appreciate your patience in waiting, and welcome.
Hello, Rush.
Two quick points.
On the Miss America Judgment, I think you should do it because me and my friends already refer to you as the Hugh Hefner of the Airways because of all the raving females that often openly flirt with you on the air.
So I think you fit right in.
You know, interesting.
I was just checking some media news during the break, and get this.
Because sometime in October, NBC News is going to do a month-long series of reports.
Here, let me call it up.
I want to get this in.
Maria Shriver is doing it.
A month-long series of reports on the state of women in America.
Well, last week we had these stories about how women are unhappy and miserable and unfulfilled.
And, of course, the answer to that is only those who bought into militant feminism in the early 70s on are miserable, unhappy, and unfulfilled.
But they're going to do this whole story on it.
Maria Shriver is doing the thing.
So, you know, did I show up at a beauty pageant as a judge?
So I appreciate your sentiment on that.
Do you think I should do it?
Yeah, point.
Raving, flirtatious women that you hear on the radio with me?
All the time.
All the time.
Yeah, some of them aren't calling about politics.
I handle that professionally, though.
I think you'd agree.
You do.
But my second point is about a point you touched on earlier.
There's one thing that frustrates and angers me more than anything in politics, and that is the all-too-off of Republican acceptance of the Democrat propaganda.
I mean, we expect the Democrats to spew out their twisted propaganda, and we expect the networks and the media to amplify everything that the Democrats say.
But basically, I just can't understand why people don't see that every time there is a rising star in Republican politics, every time that the Democrats put together a very strategic and organized campaign to knock that person down from Clarence Thomas to Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Sarah Palin.
To destroy them.
It's not to knock them down.
It's to destroy them.
Well, it is.
But the thing is, there's always a certain percentage of Republicans that splinter off.
And I'll just give you a specific example.
I mean, Newt Gingrich, you know, came to power in 94 with the Republican Revolution.
He was just the general, the architect of that whole thing.
And I was just so furious with the Republican Party when basically he was just climbing and rising, and the power of the Republicans was just more pronounced than ever.
And then all the attacks came.
And I'm telling you, it was from Gephardt and Bondier, and there was specific, the plan was attack after attack after attack.
It was charge after charge after charge.
And the Democrats really have, they don't have truth for truth's sake.
have truth by repetition if they get on all the networks We're running out of time here.
What upset you about that?
Well, it's just that the Republicans, you know, they split her off.
I mean, I remember Steve Largent.
I really wanted that guy to win.
He was one of the first people that split her off and started getting with the Democrats.
Oh, well, this Newt Gingrich is the bad guy.
Stay away from him and all that.
One of the best men.
And Newt Gingrich, in my opinion, is the Thomas Jefferson of our time.
He is just one of the best people around.
I mean, intelligent and just got a vision for America.
And everybody splintered off in a way.
And they do it again and again and again.
And it's happening now again with Sarah Palin.
Well, that situation you're describing was Newton.
Were some internal things going on in there that you may not understand.
That was not about policy.
That was not about policy.
The Sarah Palin business.
Times have changed.
People are scared to death of the media.
They don't want the media mad at them.
A massive 7.9 magnitude earthquake has hit off-American Samoa.
No word on any danger, but tsunami warnings are issued all over the place, including for Hawaii.
7.9.
That's a massive earthquake.
Okay, throw this in the mixture.
Throw this in the pot on the Miss America pageant judge question.
Throw this in with the stories we had last week on why are women unhappy.
Young women.
Why are they miserable and unhappy?
Throw this in with Maria Shriver doing the state of women in America on NBC throughout October.
It is a story from the UK Guardian by Tanya Gold.
And the story here appears in the life and style section, Relationships of the Paper, Why Women Have Sex.
It's a book, actually.
The story here, Tanya Gold reviews the book.
The book is written by Cindy Meston, who is a clinical psychologist, and David Buss, an evolutionary psychologist.
And according to this book, and I think books like this contribute to reasons why women are unhappy, particularly those women who go out and buy this stuff.
According to this book, there are 237 reasons why women have sex, and most of them have little to do with romance or pleasure.
Now, you're an unsuspecting woman.
You're looking for salvation.
You're looking for happiness.
You're looking for fulfillment.
You're looking for explanations.
Life is a mess.
The world doesn't make any sense.
There is war.
There is pestilence.
We don't have health care for the kids.
It's just a total mess of it.
And then you go to the bookstore, you hear about this book about why women have sex.
And most of the 237 reasons have little to do with romance or pleasure.
These women are going to read this and say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they're going to be further miserable and unhappy.
Look at Snerdley.
I haven't read the whole story.
I have no clue.
Here, there's one little section.
She rattles off a list, and as she says it, I realize I knew it all along.
People just assume the answer was obvious, to feel good, why women have sex.
But nobody's really talked about how women can use sex for all sorts of resources.
She rattles off a list.
And I realize I knew it all along.
Promotion, money, drugs, bartering for revenge to get back at a partner who's cheated on them, to make themselves feel good, to make their partners feel bad.
Women, she says, can use sex at every stage of the relationship, from luring a man into it to try to keep a man so he's fulfilled and doesn't stray, duty, using sex to get rid of him or to make him jealous.
We never expected the reasons to be so diverse.
From the altruistic to the borderline evil, wanting to give someone a sexually transmitted infection is a reason.
I turned to the book.
I'm slightly afraid of it.
Who wants to have their romantic fantasies reduced to evolutional processes?
The first question asked is what thrills women, or as the book puts it, why do the faces of Antonio Banderas and George Clooney excite so many women?
That's as far as I'm going.
I only printed one page of this.
All right, we go to the audio soundbite.
What better interval than to go back to a Hillary Clinton soundbite?
Why do women have sex?
Ask that question when looking at a picture of Hillary.
And the question becomes: not why do women have sex, but do women have sex.
This is Mrs. Clinton, March 3rd, in 2008, during the campaign where she's warning everybody.
We read the transcript of this to you yesterday, but this is the actual ad.
Mrs. Clinton warning of the dangers of Obama as commander-in-chief vis-à-vis Afghanistan.
Barack Obama says he has the judgment to be president, but as chairman of an oversight committee charged with the force of fighting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, he was too busy running for president to hold even one hearing.
I became chairman of this committee at the beginning of this campaign, at the beginning of 2007.
So it is true that we haven't had oversight hearings on Afghanistan.
Hillary Clinton will never be too busy to defend our national security, bringing our troops home from Iraq and pursuing al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
I'm Hillary Clinton, and I approve this.
Okay, now moving on.
Last night, Larry King Live, I didn't know this because I was watching the Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football.
But do you know who, you know who Larry King's guest was last night in his show?
Colonel Moamer Qaddafi.
And we've put together here, folks, just for you, a montage of questions that Larry King asked Muammer Qaddafi last night on Larry King.
Larry King Alive.
Our special guest tonight is Brother Leader Muammar Gaddafi.
You used to be called Colonel.
What changed from Colonel to Brother Leader?
What did you think of the UN?
Why did you tear up the UN charter?
Why treat it with disrespect?
What are your thoughts about our president, Barack Obama?
Did you say he should be president forever?
What do you think of Ahmadinejad?
Do you like him?
Do you know him?
What do you think of him?
What do you think should happen in Iraq?
Should the United States leave Iraq?
What about Afghanistan?
You don't think what Osama bin Laden did was wrong?
What's your proudest achievement?
What was your biggest mistake?
No one's perfect.
Do you have a mistake that you wish you could do over?
Would you like to sit down with our president?
Thank you.
All right, now, Larry King is asking a certified, certifiable lunatic whack job questions like he's a normal person.
But I guess every guest is just the same.
Just a celebrity.
Moamer Qaddafi, just a celebrity.
Now, we have some answers.
We do have some answers that Qaddafi gave.
It's a short bite, 30 seconds here.
But some of these are very interesting.
My views are identical to the American views.
And we pray for him that he would be able to achieve the visions that he has in his mind and made it public, and we are comfortable.
Did you say he should be president forever?
I hope so.
I wish that.
Why?
Because the vision he has will save America, will save the world.
His vision.
So, last night on Larry King Live, there is huge news made here as a certifiable terrorist whack job, Muammar Gaddafi, says that his views are identical to our presidents.
Now, in a normal, sane media world, that would be news.
And then somebody would track down Obama and say, Mr. President, Muammar Gaddafi appeared on Larry King Live last night and said his views are identical to yours, and he agrees with everything you say that you've said and thinks you should be president forever.
What's your reaction?
Of course, that will not happen.
Francesco in Tarrytown, New York, thank you for calling.
You're next on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Thank you for taking my call.
Mega Ditto's Rush.
You are truly a warrior of the Constitution.
The founding fathers would be very proud of what you do and keep it up.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
I just wanted to touch on the indoctrination of our kids and the schools and just every other aspect of them pushing the liberal agenda on these kids with these homosexual videos and kindergarten.
And I was just pretty much asking you, how far do you think the United States citizens should wait before they really take up action?
I mean, should we wait till our kids are brain dead and brainwashed and just regurgitating what these liberal teachers say?
Or, I mean, you know, before it comes to the point of us taking up arms and revolutionary, you know, what should we do?
Well, the first thing that happened here is that a bunch of parents took their kids out of school and started educating them at home, the homeschool phenomenon.
I think the, in large part, I think a lot of parents are fit to be tied over this, and they fight it as best they can.
But, you know, it's really tough.
I'll tell you a story.
I've repeated this.
But I've said this before, but it's been a while, so I'll remind you.
Down here in South Florida, in a neighborhood not far from where I am broadcasting this program for the Golden EIB microphone, sits a school, a public school, middle schooling, maybe it's first year of high school, not sure, sophomores.
I think it was.
And it's a history class.
The teacher is a woman, a radical leftist woman.
She doesn't teach history.
She teaches current events, politics, from a liberal perspective.
In order to get away with this, she was giving the students in her class the answers to the history tests that she would give so that they would all pass, so that the administration would think history was being taught in the classroom.
Instead, she was indoctrinating them daily, showing them the Al Gore movie, the IRF and the Lurch movie.
Parents were required to come watch it in class with the students under threat their students would be docked grade points if the parents didn't show up.
It was a daily inculcation of the horrible nature of George W. Bush, how wrong the Iraq war was.
It never, never stopped.
Now, I knew this because a parent of one of the students told me.
I said, what are you going to do about this?
And the parent said, I'm afraid I will get my kid in trouble if I go and complain about this.
And this parent is an active parent.
I mean, this parent is, in normal circumstances, takes total interest in the kids' lives and community and all that.
But there's just such fear of getting a kid in trouble.
The grades are everything for kids getting into college.
And in some cases, getting a scholarship.
So he was deathly afraid to raise it with the administration for fear of the recriminations that would happen to her child.
So my answer, I think that there's stages to this.
And of course, the first stage is either anger or fear.
But once the fear has been dealt with, once you get past the fear as a parent, then that's when you start, you know, demanding doing something about it.
It's getting, you know, there's a tipping point in everything.
Now, I don't have a child in school, but I can tell you, if I had a kid come home and tell me this was going on, I would have zero fear about what the teacher might do to my kid with the grade or something.
I would make sure that everybody knew what this teacher was doing from the administration in that school, the school board, the principal, all that.
I would tackle the teacher myself personally.
And if I had to, if the last resort was to get the kid out of there, I would do it.
I wouldn't put up.
Now, but it's easy for me to say that, not being confronted with the situation.
It's easy for me to say this is what I would do if this were going on.
Now, this is just, and by the way, this community is not known as a far-left fringe wacko community.
It's got its far west, far-left fringe wackos in it, but it's, you know, it's a standard middle-class, upper-middle-class community where this kind of stuff is going on.
And teachers doing it again this year.
Now, I do think, was the principal eventually informed of this?
Eventually was informed of this, but nothing really came of it.
But the teacher was not, that the teacher was reprimanded and said, well, you can't give them the answers to the test anymore.
Now, the kids, see, here's the kids, from their perspective, this was fabulous because they didn't have to study history.
They got the answers to the tests.
They passed the tests.
And all they had to do was put up with this teacher's rants every day.
Some of them had the intelligence to reject it and forget it.
Others probably didn't.
But it's a great question.
And when you talk about Obama wanting a year-round school, this is why.
The left has targeted the public school system as basic indoctrination centers for a long, long time.
Back after this, I'm a little long in this segment.
I'm thinking about that book, Why Women Have Sex.
237 Reasons.
And very few of them have to do with love and romance.
But what is the primary trouble with that?
What is the main, when you hear there are 237 reasons that women have sex?
The trouble is that most relationships and marriages last longer than 237 days.
So when the women go through all 237 reasons, what happens then?
You done?

And Rush, I love you.
I don't doubt you.
But I have to tell you, I was Miss Massachusetts in 1960 and in the top 10 on the Miss America pageant, and I've judged many pageants.

You've got to judge this.
Besides, you know, I was a little insulted when you said that Nancy Pelosi put on a Miss America smile there.
Yeah, well, I'm facetious.
But you'll see.
You'll probably get a new audience after all this.
I'm not a Rush baby, but I'm a Rush babe.
Okay, but I've been married to the same man 47 years.
So, you know, I'm not afraid of that.
You ran through your 237 reasons for sex.
All right.
Look, I got to run.
I'm out of time.
I appreciate the advice.
We'll be back and continue to wrap it up here in just a second.
French news agency has a story out today.
The neocons block a lifting of the U.S. trade embargo, according to the Cuban foreign minister.
Now, who the hell are the neocons?
Now, where are these people?
Neocons are blocking, lifting the embargo?
I think that would be Obama.
