Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
What, you're surprised it's Friday already?
You think the whole week vanished?
Now, that's just because you don't like Open Line Friday.
That's because we take more calls on Friday means you have to work harder.
I'm telling you what, this week has seemed like a week to me.
I mean, every day seems like a day.
I mean, dealing with this garbage, getting up every day and going to war.
You know what?
I'm asking for more troops, too.
And I can't call any of them up on my own.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's Open Line Friday.
And since this audience is literally bursting at the seams, growing by leaps and bounds, let me explain to those of you who are new to the program what Open Line Friday is.
Many people think that it's a gimmick, but it's not a gimmick.
You see, Monday through Thursday, when we go to the phones, unless Snerdley is trying to pay me back for something like giving me that call from Katie yesterday, you got to be talking about things I care about.
Otherwise, we're not going to put you on because I don't want to be bored.
If I'm bored, the audience will get bored, and that's not good.
But on Friday, I throw all that out.
And that's why Snerdley has to work harder because we generally try to take more calls on Friday.
You people don't know this, but he didn't even start screening calls for about a half hour here because he knows I'm not going to take one.
So he sits in there and he fakes screening calls, makes it look like he's working when he's not.
Because he knows I'm not going to get to the phones for a while.
But on Friday, I might.
And when we go to the phones on Friday, whatever you want to talk about, it's fair game.
If I don't care about it, I'll fake it.
But it's a great opportunity for you.
If you've always thought you could do a talk show, this is your chance to call it and try.
Even though I have admonished people don't try this at home, it's not nearly as easy as it looks, still is a great chance, a great opportunity.
You have a question, a comment, whatever.
So the phone number is 800-282-2882 and the email address, lrushball at EIBnet.com.
I would love to go to the phones now, but there isn't a call ready.
No, Snardly doesn't.
Big test vote tomorrow night.
Harry Reid pulling another Saturday night massacre on the American people, just like Nancy Pelosi did last week.
Saturday night, a Saturday night test vote.
Here's the majority leader explaining it all to us.
Hello, this is Harry Reid.
Lately, you've heard a lot of negative talk about our plan for universal health care.
But I want to assure every American that the health care legislation now before the Senate will give you the finest medical care available in the United States.
Complete care, covering everything you need according to federal guidelines.
Universal coverage includes limited supplies of band-aids, iodine, Q-tips, red muffins, and petroleum jelly.
Mandatory childhood vaccinations begin at age 35.
Cancer screenings, such as Pap smears, beginning 21 years after your last child was born.
Emigrams for women between age 50 and 51 and a half.
Golatoscopies after age 70.
Free optical begins at age 95.
Free lifetime rehabilitative care for abnormal political ideas or delusions.
And unlimited condoms at abortion on demand.
And that's just the beginning.
There are over 2,000 pages of additional tests, treatments, and procedures included in this wonderful government plan.
Universal Government Health Care.
What's in it for you?
Airplugs not subject to 5% tax.
End of life care and burial expenses not included.
All right.
We said to go here healthcare test vote on Saturday night.
Let me explain why they're calling it a test vote.
two stages to a piece of legislation in the Senate, and both stages require 60 votes.
The first vote, which is what's going to happen tomorrow night, is being called a test vote because if it gets 60 votes, it then is moved to the floor and debate begins.
The next vote after that requires 60 votes again to stop the debate.
That's called cloture.
And that vote, the cloture vote, tells us whether or not the bill will pass.
The vote tomorrow night does not necessarily do that, although this vote tomorrow night is something about which we should all have great concerns.
There are a number of ways this can go.
He can get the 60 votes and start the debate and then start the media spin.
Well, they got 60 votes.
It's just a matter of time.
Then they limit the amount of debate and try to close cloture and get the final 60 votes before Christmas.
If they don't get the 60 votes, and a lot of people are worried about this, if they don't get the 60 votes, and I frankly, I can't read the tea leaves on this.
And the reason I can't is Reed's buying votes.
He bought Mary Landrew with a $100 million provision in the health care bill, Medicare exceptions for the state of Louisiana.
And it's a page and a half long, this little attachment of the bill.
It's not attached to it.
It's part of it.
And it allows states who have suffered a major natural disaster within the last four years, three days, and 10 hours.
I mean, it zeroes in on Hurricane Katrina.
Then you are eligible for $100 million additional in Medicare for the old folks and blah, blah, blah.
Landrew is in trouble re-election down there, and she needs to buy votes herself.
Reed needs to buy votes.
This is what Pelosi was doing over in the House.
She was buying votes by giving individual members whatever they wanted.
Ben Nelson's out there in Nebraska.
And the way they're going after Ben Nelson, he comes from Nebraska.
He has to make it look to his constituents like he is upholding his conservative, moderate conservative values, particularly on abortions.
The abortion language in this bill is just like the Stupak Amendment over in the House.
It's all going to come out.
Whatever is in there now to get Ben Nelson's vote will eventually come out.
So unfortunately, folks, what we're looking at here is not a vote on the merits of this.
We're looking at Harry Reid buying whatever recalcitrant Democrat votes that he needs.
Now, a lot of people were on the phone, well, not the phone, email with me last night.
You got to really hit the Republicans tomorrow, Rush.
You got to really make them stay.
Folks, the Republicans are not the thing here.
I mean, one of the concerns that people had expressed to me last night was that the Republicans got out of town and allowing this vote tomorrow night rather than demanding 30 hours of debate rather than eight, which is what's going to happen tomorrow, because they wanted to get home.
And, you know, I know the way Mitch McConnell and the Senate Republican leadership's looking at this, and that is nobody's going to vote not to have debate.
They're looking at this vote tomorrow as a fait accompli.
Nobody, nobody is going to vote to not even bring this to the floor for debate.
But if that does, here's the second phase.
If that does happen, if the test vote tomorrow night fails, and I can't see it failing, but if it does, then that's going to strike the fear of God into Dingy Harry and Pelosi, and that's when they're going to start moving toward reconciliation, which would blow the Senate up like nothing has before.
What they would have to do is then change this piece of legislation and call it an appropriations bill.
Only budget bills can be passed by a vote of 51, a simple majority in the Senate.
Everything else requires 60s, just Senate rules.
If they don't get their 60 tomorrow night, the big fear is that Dingy Harry will say, screw it, I'm not going to try again.
We'll just go reconciliation.
Because they're going to do whatever they have to do to get this done.
The Democrats are a kamikaze party.
They just don't know it yet.
And in fact, they may know it, and some of them not care.
They are martyring themselves politically.
Let's look at some things that we've learned recently.
A government panel suggesting that women, in the name of cutting costs, should be disarmed in their fight against a ruthless killer, breast cancer, by foregoing mammograms until they're 50.
And today, pap smears have been added to it.
You don't need to get one every year.
Women in their 20s now, every other year, because cervical cancer is slow growing.
You don't have to get a PAP smear every year.
The legislation in both the House and the Senate, and Nancy Pelosi has been asked about it and thinks it's fair and just.
American citizens can be put in jail for failing to buy health insurance.
They can be fined by the IRS a percentage of their income if they fail to buy health insurance and then face five years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
There are, and we have seen the forerunners of this, death panels for seasoned citizens, rationing of medical care.
One, two, three strikes, you're out in the old ball game, is the way it used to be.
These three items, and there are countless others I could mention, but these three items are political death.
No sane politician would align themselves with heartless, incompetent bureaucrats running medical care.
But we don't have sane politicians in Washington.
We have political martyrs in waiting.
Democrats are the equivalent of political suicide bombers.
They have strapped political bombs to themselves.
They are hell-bent on taking out as many Americans as they can with them.
This is how this must be looked at.
There is nothing remotely good about any of this.
There's nothing compassionate about any of this.
Just before they detonate their political bombs, which is what their votes against the wishes of the people they serve are, they may as well shout, death to freedom, death to freedom, as they cast their vote.
The items listed above, the mammogram stuff, the pap smear, going to jail for not having health insurance, death panels, and rationed care.
Yeah, there's Nelson.
He's already said he's going to vote yes to start this because they've given him a concession, he thinks, on abortion.
So Ben Nelson's in.
There's so much more than those three issues.
Generational theft that has taken place with the stimulus bill and the TARP money.
Double-digit unemployment with no plans to create any jobs.
abandoning our troops in Afghanistan who are in harm's way, massive tax increases in Obamacare during a brutal recession that is nowhere near over, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed getting full constitutional rights in a jihadist propaganda show trial in New York City.
Amidst all of this, these political suicide bomber Democrats are going to vote tomorrow night to start debate on this health care plan that if is ever signed into law will destroy this country as you and I know it.
Political suicide bombers, kamikaze Democrats, call them what you want, there is nothing in the polls supporting any of what they're doing, and yet the Democrats persist.
The destruction of free market capitalism, individualism, American exceptionalism is more important to them than even their political careers.
They are willing to term limit themselves to destroy their own political careers than to do what the people want and what is right and best for the country.
Democrats voting for death panels, publicly funded abortion, do not doubt that that's going to end up in whatever is sent up to the White House for signature.
Rationed care, higher taxes.
All of that is coming our way if this monstrosity ever does see the light of day.
The Gallup poll will announce it, effectively have announced it.
The Gallup poll would announce that for the first time in their poll, Barack Obama's approval rating has fallen below 50%.
In fact, I have a little story about this.
His approval numbers, this is from Ben Smith at the Politico.
His approval numbers have bounced down to the 50% mark several times, driven by weaker support from independents and Republicans, but it hadn't crossed it.
The slide is worrying for the White House, but it's probably not yet panic time.
Ronald Reagan's approval numbers dropped well below 40% during the depths of his first term recession.
If Obama's bad stretch puts him in the high 40s or low 50s, that's not a crippling political problem.
If he languishes there or drops further, it may become a ha.
If there were a Republican president falling below 50% for the first time in a poll, that's all we'd be hearing about it, and we wouldn't hear the press giving him cover.
Also, Reagan fell below, down to 40%, but Obama, Obama's numbers are all about his personality and his charisma and all about his promise and all about his hope and change.
And what's happening here is Obama has had a head-on collision with the reality that his personality is not enough to carry the day and inspire and motivate people to go out and do good things.
I've got two stories in the stack today.
Both are reviews of Obama's trip, and they are devastating.
One is in the New York Times, I think the other one is, I forget where it's from, but they are just devastating.
He didn't accomplish anything.
He bowed to the Japanese emperor.
That's the lasting photo up.
He was not able to accomplish anything.
The CHICOMs were able to shepherd him around on their terms, not his.
He appeared weak, small, and I guess he, you know what, he didn't even leave with anything prearranged to be announced as a positive on the trip, which is hard to believe.
Presidents usually don't fly off and ad-lib, but with Obama and his narcissism and his Being so self-impressed with his own personality, I guess he thought that would carry the day, but apparently it did not.
Yeah, I don't like it.
What do you have to arrange when you surrender?
A good question.
Brief timeout.
I see still no phone calls up on the call screener roster from Sturtley.
We'll be back after this.
So, yesterday afternoon, the state-controlled media followed Sarah Palin to Grand Rapids, Michigan, followed her out there in droves, wanting to see what the ruckus was at her book signing.
And the very brave, the very brave and courageous Nora O'Donnell of MSNBC grilled a 14-year-old girl.
Grilled a 14-year-old girl over the 14-year-old girl's support of Sarah Palin.
Show me your t-shirt.
Tell me what it says.
The U.S. government handed out $700 billion in Wall Street bailouts, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Did you know that Sarah Palin supported the bailout?
I don't.
Where did you hear that?
During the campaign, John McCain brought everyone to Washington, praised the bailout, and Sarah Palin, during the vice presidential debate, praised John McCain for bringing folks together to pass the bill and said it is a time of crisis in government.
That's the time to step in.
So Sarah Palin was for the bailout.
I don't think she was.
I think yesterday she was not for the bailout.
There's some confusion about Sarah Palin's policies, and that's why I ask you that.
She's against the stimulus, but during the campaign, she was for the bailout, as was John McCain.
Does that change your view?
No, it does not.
The conversation then continued.
What is it that you most like about her?
What policy?
She upholds the Constitution, the document that made this country so great, and that's what we need to go back to.
We've gone so far from the Constitution that we're reaping the consequences of that right now.
Specifically, big government.
The Constitution was written so that government would be limited and so that what didn't become out of control and it was in the hands of the people.
Wow, that girl's name.
That girl's great.
Jackie Seal is her name.
She's 14 years old, duking it out with the very brave and courageous Nora O'Donnell of PMS and PMS NBC.
It takes real courage to do that.
You know, go out and find these Palin supporters and hammer them and tell these Palin supporters, you don't know what she believes in.
She's all over the place.
There's confusion about her policies.
Sarah, it does take guts to grill a 14-year-old, especially one that knows more than you do about the Constitution, especially one that knows more than you do about Sarah Palin.
It takes guts if you're an NBC info babe reporter at to go talk to a 14-year-old who knows more than you do about the subject matter.
All right, Snerdley has a call up there.
Whoa, we're running ahead of schedule today.
He got a call up there.
So we'll take a call when we come back after this break here at the bottom of the hour.
Don't go away, folks.
All right.
Apparently, the girl is 17 years old, not 14.
It's not my mistake.
I was misinformed by staff.
So she's seven, but still, it's still gutsy to take on a 17-year-old woman that knows more than you do about Sarah Palin and the Constitution.
You know, I was thinking about Obama, poor old Obama and his trip.
Such a washout.
I mean, really, there was nothing remarkable about it.
That bow down to the Japanese emperor.
I mean, there was, folks, really, it was a wet blanket.
It was just nothing.
And he didn't even get to come back with one of those Obamao t-shirts.
You know, they had those t-shirts with Obama on there dressed up as Mao Cetong.
In the famous Mazetong Red Army or Army pose or whatever, there was a CNN reporter who got in trouble for showing one of those things.
Security guards came in, took them all off the shelves.
Obama didn't even get to come back with one of those.
And they banned the sale of those shirts over there so as not to offend Mao, probably, and his memory, because I'm sure Obama would have been flattered by the comparison had he been able to see one of these t-shirts.
All right.
We're going to go to the phones.
It's Open Line Friday and Grand Junction, Colorado.
Natalie, you're up first.
A very important responsibility.
First caller sets the tone.
Rush, what an honor to speak with you.
I am so pleased.
Although I didn't know, I knew someday I would talk to you, but I didn't know it was going to be about this.
My body parts.
I like my breasts, and I like my other parts, and I want to keep them.
And what are these people thinking?
Are they going to take them away from us when it's too late?
When we're filled with cancer all over?
Rush, did you not want to keep them?
I certainly hope you do, too.
And I have full confidence that you will be able to.
But, you know, who was it, Democrats?
Somebody's out there saying maybe it's Health and Human Service.
No, no, no.
The mammogram stuff, that's not, we're not, that's not, that's not going to be part of the bill.
We're not going to accept that recommendation.
But it's in the bill.
It's in Senator Reed's bill and it's over in the House bill.
The delay of mammograms until the age of 50.
The whole thing here, Natalie, is very basic.
Why in the world should you have to be told by a government when and when you cannot get your breasts looked at?
I know.
And Rush, let's include Pap Smears now.
Let's talk about that for just one little teeny second.
Are they going to tell us not to be looked after?
You know what?
I don't want anyone to know how old I am, but if I wouldn't have been looked after, I would have been hysterectomized.
Let's put it like that.
Wow.
Well, let me tell you something.
The pap smear thing, now they've changed it to every other year rather than every year because cervical cancer is slow growing and you don't need to do these tests.
Rush, I don't believe that.
I don't believe that.
I was one of those people that had checked every single year.
And when I went to my doctor several years ago, oops, there it was.
And half of my cervix is gone.
And my girlfriend, too.
And not only did that happen to us, she had to go back every three months and get frozen.
And I know you might not know what those procedures are, but we know.
You know what was going to be next?
A hysterectomy.
We don't want to lose our parts.
We want to keep them.
Yeah, so do I. Every man's in the same corner here with you.
We want to keep our things.
Folks, you're listening to this.
I want you to try to understand this is the opinion that's practically universal around this country.
You got maybe a pocket of 20, 30% liberals who support whatever this massive thing is going to be.
But this is just outraging people.
This is why I'm calling these people kamikazes.
They're casting.
Actually, I need to revise that.
They're not endangering themselves all that much.
And I'll explain it as we go through the phones.
Thanks very much, Natalie.
Appreciate it.
We go to Milwaukee next.
Jerry, you are on Open Line Friday.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
You know, I'm a Democrat, and I really want Palin as a nominee.
I really want Palin as a nominee because if she became the nominee, there's no chance she would get elected President Obama would basically defeat her in a landslide because American people know she's an empty suit.
They know that she's a coward who hides behind the military.
They know about her trying to ban books or looking into banning books in Wasila, Alaska.
So her book just showed how much of an empty suit she was, how she really doesn't see anything, and she just attacks the people who disagree with her.
There's no policy ideas in the book at all.
Oh, no, no.
I've read the book, and you're just repeating a bunch of bluster that you've read on websites because this book is full of policy.
That's what makes it remarkable.
No, it's not.
I've read part of Mike Huckabee's book.
He said, I don't agree with Mike Huckabee that had 100 times the actual content of the gossip book, which is going wrong, which is going tedious, I call it.
Ten pages of gossip in this book.
But you know, would you explain something to me?
I really don't understand.
And you're a Democrat, and maybe you can help me understand.
Uh-huh.
What is it about this woman that drives you so crazy?
What is it about Obama that drives the right wing so crazy?
Because he's destroying the country, man.
Because he is destroying.
Answer my question.
I answered yours.
What is it about this woman that drives you so crazy?
She can't do a damn thing to you, Jerry.
Well, I don't think she's going to become elected president.
Why?
She divides Americans.
Jerry Rush.
Why does she scare you?
She divides Americans Rush.
She has this idea that if you don't agree with her and this is common on the right, then you're not really a patriot like her.
You're not really a real American.
Wait a minute.
No, no, no, no.
She scares you to death.
She frightens the hell out of you.
You're having to make up all kinds of...
This woman has far more patriotism and love of country and decency in her than Barack Obama could hope to have.
This woman would be so much better leading this country than what we have now because we are being led into destruction.
We are being led over the cliff into an abyss.
We are being led by a man who's got a chip on his shoulder for some reason about this country and doesn't like it.
She loves it.
I'd rather have somebody that openly loves this country, respects it, and wants to project American exceptionalism around the world rather than to what we got now, somebody running around taking every opportunity he can to cut this country down to size, bringing a terrorist trial to New York City, conveying, or conferring citizenship rights on a man who was the mastermind behind a murder of almost 3,000 Americans.
What I don't understand is how anybody, and you sound like you have a functioning brain, what I don't understand is how anybody can look at what's happening in this country and say the problem is Sarah Palin.
Hey, we're back.
It's Rush Limboy and Open Line Friday having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
Did you hear Jerry?
You Jared Milwaukee?
Did you hear the one thing he said that I was, I couldn't get him to tell me why in so many words, she scares me that she can't do anything to anybody.
She's just out selling books.
She's not in office.
She can't raise anybody's taxes.
She can't destroy the health care system.
She cannot destroy the private sector.
She can't raise anybody's taxes.
And yet they're scared to death of her.
And I heard him say, she's divisive.
What's divisive about Sarah Palin?
You know what it is that scares liberals?
And there are many things that scare liberals.
They are scared by anybody who has or believes in absolutes like right and wrong.
They are scared to death because they look at people like that as judging.
And of course, political correctness invented by the left as a stealth form of censorship where people will not say what they really think.
You're supposed to acknowledge and be tolerant of virtually every aberrant thing in our culture, except conservatives and Sarah Palin.
You are not allowed to be tolerant of Sarah Palin.
You go out there and you have this president and this presidency to defend.
And you can't.
So you have to attack Sarah Palin.
Absolutes, right and wrong.
The left wants to see only the murky gray of smog.
They don't want to see anything that is black and white.
James Taranto, best of the web, Wall Street Journalonline.com, has done a remarkable comparison here.
Accountability journalism, he calls it.
An Associated Press dispatch written by Erica Werner and Richard Alonzo Zaldivar compares the House and Senate Obamacare bills.
We'd like to compare this dispatch to the AP's dispatch earlier this week fact-checking Sarah Palin's new book.
Here goes.
The number of AP reporters assigned to the story, Obamacare bills, two reporters.
Sarah Palin's book, 11.
The number of pages in the document being covered, 4,064, two reporters.
The Palin book, 432 pages, 11 reporters.
The number of pages per AP reporter, the Obamacare bill, each reporter would have had to read 2,032 pages.
The 11 reporters reviewing Sarah Palin's book for fact check would have had to read 39.3 pages.
So on a per-page basis, the Associated Press devoted 52 times as much manpower to the memoir of a former Republican officeholder as to a piece of legislation that will cost trillions of dollars and an untold number of lives.
That's what they call accountability journalism, and that's where we are.
And this is the left.
They are so scared of this woman.
But they don't dare tell us how.
They don't dare tell us why.
By the way, folks, I want to give you a website to go to when you get a chance.
It's called climatepot.com.
Something fascinating has happened.
And I was first alerted to this today by our official climatologist, Dr. Roy Spencer.
A hacker has gotten into the computers at Hadley CRU.
That is Britain's largest climate research institute.
They're a huge proponent of global warming.
The hacker seems to have uncovered evidence of substantial fraud in reporting the evidence on global warming.
The unlawful destruction of records to cover up this fraud.
To keep it away from Freedom of Information Act requests, for example, deceit in the entire operation.
And the best place to get all the detail, Mark Morano, our former man in Washington, my TV show, runs climatepot.com, and all the details are there.
It's a great place to keep up on the global warming debate.
He's probably the single-handedly, in a civilian sense, the guy other than me, of course, doing a better job of ringing the bells, alarming people of what's going on here.
But apparently they've got 62 megabytes of emails from this computer, and it looks bad.
And it looks like, you know, you see something like this.
Okay, we've got to make sure this is not a hoax.
Dr. Spencer looked at this.
He said this is too, too, too elaborate to be a hoax, in his estimation.
I don't know if the jury's still out on that, but more and more people are picking up on this.
The whole thing, as we've, I've instinctively known this from the get-go from 20 years ago, the whole thing's made up.
And the reason I know it is because liberals are behind it.
When they're pushing something, folks, it's always bogus.
It's never what they say it is.
There's always a hidden reason behind the objective.
The objective, stated objective, is just designed to get you feeling guilty, responsible, frightened, scared, and your kids as well.
But it looks like substantial fraud.
A lot of evidence of substantial fraud in reporting the evidence on global warming.
And Clarice Feldman at theAmericanThinker.com has posted on this, and he's got a sample of the purportedly hacked materials.
There are 1,079 emails and 72 documents, and they are available online.
The hackers put them up.
Dear Roy, R. Ray, Mike, and Malcolm, once Tim's got a diagram here, we'll send that either later today or first thing tomorrow.
I've just completed Mike's nature trick of adding in the real temperatures to each series for the last 20 years, i.e. from 1981 onwards, and from the 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline in temperature.
To hide the decline in temperature.
Mike's series got the annual land and marine values, while the other two got April, September for NH land and of 20 North.
The latter two are real for 1999.
Well, the estimate for 1999 for NH combined is blah, blah.
Anyway, there are other examples of emails.
And Thomas Lipson adds here one interesting hacked email, childishly insults American thinker by calling him the American stinker.
So these people are clearly aware of the people out there who are the so-called deniers.
But if this is the real thing, it could be huge.
You know, and I must, I must claim that I have saved one soul on this.
The lovely and dear Rachel sitting across the glass from me, who is transcribing our calls today.
She was an early believer in Al Gore's movie and book came in, and it was not her fault.
I mean, the way this stuff has been positioned, who doesn't want to save the planet?
I mean, who wants the planet to be burned up?
Who wants the environment to go so bad we're all going to die?
Who wants a polar bear's drunk?
Nobody wants that.
And this is the way the left comes and grabs your heartstrings in order to separate you from your money while they take your soul.
And Rachel no longer, you don't, do you?
She no longer believes the gunk.
But she at one time was a prisoner of this stuff, and there are a lot of people who are.
So it'll be interesting to watch this story get played out and disseminated.
But if it's true, it is huge.
Do we have time here?
Yes, we do.
Obama in full campaign mode.
Audio soundbite number three, organizing for America.
Now, we're not going to have time to get it in.
I just noticed the time here.
Well, let me set it up because we'll do it early in the next hour.
They had a contest over Obama's website, Organizing for America.
And they asked people to make videos that they could use and put on the website to convince people to support Obamacare.
And they picked a winner.
And they've put it up on the website.

All right, for all of you Sarah haters out there, I have a little test for you.
Three questions for you, Sarah haters.
Did you support John Edwards as Kerry's vice president?
John Kerry, by the way, who served in Vietnam?
Did you admire John Edwards in 2008?
Did you admire John Edwards in 2004?
Did you think John Edwards was something other than who he was?
If so, may I ask what makes you think you are qualified to judge Sarah Palin?
