What is this I just saw?
Get it from from uh from uh Lima, Peru.
It's Lima, Ohio, but Lima Peru.
Gang, gang accused of killing to um sell human fat.
Yeah, for cosmetics.
I mean gang.
Well, who knew?
There's a there's a free market for used fat out there.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
Nothing stops us, folks.
We just keep rolling right on down the tracks of truth.
Rushling ball meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
Happy to have you here on open line Friday.
Telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address, L Rushball at EIBNet.com.
Okay, here is the winning video.
Organizing for America website, Barack Obama.com released the winner of the organizing for America Health Reform Video Challenge.
Here is an audio portion of the winning video.
A year from now, I'll break my leg, and my parents will have to sell our house because we couldn't afford health care.
Three months from now, I'll need surgery.
And my parents will go bankrupt because they couldn't afford health care.
Two years from now, I'll be diagnosed with leukemia and I'll die.
Because we couldn't afford health care.
I deserve health care.
I deserve health care.
We all deserve health care.
They're over 8 million uninsured children in America.
Eight million.
Eight million million.
We all deserve health care.
Ah, my friends, this is just this isn't this wonderful.
Exploiting kids like this, lying to kids, and then making the kids go out and lie, scaring the kids.
This is from the president's website.
This essentially has his endorsement.
Uh this is just sick.
It they yeah, if we let's let let's let's go back.
Let's go back and listen to the uh the kids of the staff at the World Wildlife Fund back in early November.
The world's top scientists agree that climate change is most serious threat to ever face our planet.
It's coming faster and hitting harder than expected.
Droughts and floods and hurricanes are getting worse.
It's affecting our water supply and our ability to grow crops.
America the beautiful might not be so beautiful anymore.
Important ecosystems like the Amazon and the Arctic.
They'll be damaged forever.
Really cool animals like polar bears and walruses will lose their habitat.
We're pushing around planet past the point of no return.
And of course, the children of EIB did not stand for that.
He can't.
Uh, the right way, at any rate.
I want to go back to this uh this this business.
Um there's there's a theme out there.
We had this guy call about about Sarah Palin.
Uh, and obviously afraid of her, and we had Nora O'Donnell ambushing a 17-year-old girl in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and really you know, pounding this girl.
Obama supported the bailout.
Uh uh Palin supported the bailout.
I don't think he Yes, she did.
She supported the bailout.
She said that McCain supported bailout, it was a crisis.
She supported the bailout.
Now I find this interesting.
The media is harping on this that Sarah Palin supported the bailout.
It's funny how Sarah Palin is getting more press about her comments about the bailout than Obama did.
Remember now, Obama was fact checked by the AP and got almost no coverage on this.
It's from the uh AP on Wednesday, April 29th.
That wasn't me, President Obama said on his 100th day in Orifus.
Disclaiming responsibility for the budget deficit, waiting for him on day one.
It actually was him and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years who shaped a budget so out of balance.
Look at some of Obama's claims Wednesday.
Number one, we inherited a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit.
That wasn't me.
Number two, there's almost uniform consensus among economists in the middle of the biggest crisis, financial crisis since the Great Depression.
We had to take extraordinary steps.
So you got a lot of Republican economists who agree that uh that we had to do a stimulus package, we had to do something about the banks.
AP says the facts are Congress controls the Perth Springs, not the president.
It was under Democrat control for Obama's last two years as Illinois Senator.
Obama supported the emergency bailout package in Bush's final months.
It was Obama, by the way, who urged Bush to bail out the auto companies.
It was a package that Democrat leaders wanted to make bigger.
The economy has worsened under Obama, A.P. wrote back on April 29th, and yet it's Sarah Palin getting all this press on her position on the bailout.
The Oprah, ladies and gentlemen, in leaving Chicago.
She's not just quitting her TV show.
She's going to quit her show in September of 2011.
And she's going to announce it on her show today.
But she's also leaving Chicago.
Mayor Daly is upset about it.
Mayor Daly is blaming the media for forcing the Oprah out of Chicago.
Apparently, during her season premier week in September, they shut down the miracle mile up there for a while.
It caused all kinds of traffic snaffos and other problems.
The Oprah reimbursed the city for all that was shut down.
But apparently the Oprah took a lot of heat.
And Mayor Daly is blaming the media.
But but Oprah, she's going to start a cable network, and she wants it based in Los Angeles, not Chicago.
She said, why would anybody stay in Chicago?
It's freezing here, and I have a mansion in Montecito that I haven't been able to enjoy.
Why would anybody want to stay here?
It's freezing here.
And I have a mansion in Montecito I haven't been able to enjoy.
Quote, unquote, the Oprah.
So we don't know where the Oprah's bailing.
I I um it's 25 years.
Uh maybe there's a magic number.
Uh uh, Judge Judy, that show is getting higher ratings than the Oprah.
And yeah, yeah, and it it did recently.
And I think I think also, you know, when all else is failing, you go to cable.
And she wants to do her own cable network.
And I think that uh I've looked at I'm not gonna speculate on this, have no idea.
I'll wait for her pronouncement to see if she explains why.
Other than that, just be uh idle speculation.
What do you think?
You obviously have a theory.
Why do you think the Oprah's uh packing it in a year from now?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, all right, here's yeah, see, you guys, you you people in the audience do not know what it's like to be me.
I you all think you want to be me, but you do not know what it's like to be surrounded by my staff.
They are the finest, most underworked people you will ever find.
Sometimes overrated.
Uh, but nevertheless, they their loyalty is just over the top.
For example, Snerdley thinks that I'm the reason the Oprah quit.
Snurdly believes, and uh he believes that I have far more impact and uh uh power over things happening in the country than I ever would think I have.
I'm not even I don't even contemplate that.
I that's not even part of my makeup.
Snurdley thinks, and I disagree with this, but I just want to see, and I tell you this to show you how hard it is for me to keep a level head.
A lot of people in my position will be walking around with a head and ears bigger than Obama's.
If if I believed everything my staff told me about me, I would need to drill a giant hole in the wall because I wouldn't be able to fit in a door to get in here.
So yesterday, I made mention of the fact that Sarah Palin got Oprah her highest ratings in two years, but it was not comfortable because Oprah got creamed by her own audience when it was announced.
She got creamed in emails and uh phone calls and so forth.
Her audience didn't want to hear Sarah Palin, didn't want to see Sarah Palin.
And the Oprah is not used to that kind of criticism.
The Oprah is one of these media people that gets constant adulation, adoration, and love, built up living on a pedestal, goddess-like.
That has been the the uh the the rarefied air in which the Oprah has lived.
And she just people who don't get the kind of criticism from their own audience, and perhaps other political quarters, that the Oprah got on this.
If they're not used to it, they don't know how to deal with it.
So Snerdley's theory is that that criticism, not that I had anything to do with here by by by mentioning it.
That that the Oprah just doesn't, uh, this is this is not where she's the numbers aren't there, and now she's getting creamed and complained at, bitched at by her own audience.
It's not this is not the world that she's been living in.
And so, yeah, but that's another that's another aspect.
Now she needs conservatives to build her audience.
Oh, not good.
If she needs conservatives to build her audiences, she's gonna become uh distant from her own cocktail crowd circuit and so forth, and I'm gonna be happy about that.
So there's a number of factors here, folks, and they uh they all could be relevant in their own way.
Okay, quick timeout.
We'll come back, we'll get more of your phone calls in right after this.
Don't go away.
Open line Friday, Rush Limbaugh and the EIB network.
We are here at 800-282-2882.
You know, the the Obama uh administration, the the the whole the whole leftist bunch in this country using these kids uh in global warming ads and and uh making them watch Al Gore's lying science fiction movie, getting scared to death the polar bears are gonna die and all this, and now putting these kids on health care.
You know, I I grew up in the 50s, and we had all these duck and cover exercises when I was in grade school.
We actually did have tests, uh little little uh drills in case the Russians launched a nuke at us.
We had a you know we had to run to an auditorium or run to an assembly center or run under our desks or do something, practicing for a nuclear attack.
And uh everyone over a certain age always talks about how they were scarred forever by that.
I happen to have a very, very strong psychological constitution.
I was not scarred by it at all, because I had the sense to realize that a desk was not going to protect me from 10,000 zillion degrees.
I mean, my my father and mother were actually thinking of we went and looked at bomb shelters.
Now, this did not scare me.
Well, I think at the time it did, but I don't suffer any lasting um effects from it, but a lot of people do.
Now, what about these kids?
Is my point.
What about these kids that are being lied to and are being forced to lie about I'm gonna get leukemia in six months, and I'm gonna die because I am going to hey kid, have you ever heard of S chip?
You are covered under S chip in your state until you're 26.
When you probably will still be living at home with your liberal mom and your liberal dad.
Ever heard of S chip kid?
Just nothing but lies and propaganda.
I'm going to break my arm.
I'm gonna fall and break my arm and concrete going to sue me and my parents, and we'll be out of our house, and we'll have to become homeless and live on point and beans in the junkyard.
That's what they have these kids out there saying.
And they're and they're that that they're giving awards for for this kind of tripe.
My mommy is going to have a car crash, and she's going to lose her face, which will make my dad happy, but it's going to bankrupt us because she doesn't have health faith insurance.
*puff*
What about these kids?
Aren't they going to be scarred forever having been told all these nightmares about health care and having to go out there and spread the nightmares themselves on top of the end of the world because of global warming?
Liberals are look at the psychological damage they are inflicting on their own kids.
All right.
To the phones.
Patrick in Erie, Pennsylvania.
I'm glad you called.
You're on Open Line Friday.
Hi.
Hey, Rush Buddy, this is a real privilege.
Thank you.
Thanks very much, sir.
Hey, listen, I uh was listening to your show.
I think it was this week you were talking about how uh your earlier days at the radio station in California, you were uh you kept track of the income that you brought into the radio station and so forth.
Um I I loved the point.
It was a great point.
I share um your philosophy on that.
I thought it tied in closely with what that caller, I think Katie yesterday you called.
Um, and that is nobody really pays you, no employer pays you or hires you or contracts you or anything along those lines for what you do, but rather what you bring, what you're able to procure and and uh you know, as far as demand for yourself or your business.
It's a lesson that's just totally lost on a lot of people, a lot of good meaning people, but particularly liberals, and I think um I guess I'd like maybe to hear you expand on it a little more.
Your show serves as an enlightening uh program for me and most of your listeners, and it's a point that just does not get made.
I just wonder if you can maybe expand on that.
I'd be happy to.
I I uh uh it was an anniversary show that I did uh my 25th anniversary on KFBK Sacramento.
By the way, I have not announced that I'm leaving Sacramento, nor have I announced I'm uh moving to cable on uh on my twenty-fifth anniversary in uh in Sacramento, just to differentiate myself from the Oprah.
And this was my last shot at radio.
I had been fired for cause one time, and the other six or seven times for the vagaries of the business.
You know, uh format changed to Chinese opera, and they were going to automate, didn't need DJs, and I didn't speak Chinese anyway, so stuff happens.
So it's my last shot, and it's a talk show, and talk shows, as you know, feature uh endorsements, live commercials.
And I was talking to the business editor there, Tom Sullivan, who now runs the official auditing firm that audits my opinions.
And we, you know, I said, Tom, I uh I uh I've I've I've I've I've gotten nailed by the vagaries of this business too many times.
You can't control ratings.
The where they put the diaries, how many people actually participate, do they honestly report what they're listening to.
So I've got to find a way to get myself in the revenue stream here.
I've got to find a way to make sure I can point to X number of dollars I am generating as insurance against this.
And in the process of of talking my way through this, it was a great learning experience because I then found out what my real purpose was.
A lot of people, as an employee, a lot of people think the purpose of a company is to provide jobs and health care.
And that's not why people form businesses.
They form businesses because they have a passion to provide a service or manufacture a product that they love that they think would sell big time, and they can make a profit at.
And then if they get lucky, sell it to some bigger corporation down the uh down the line and invest in something new, or go sip pinnacaladas in the Virgin Islands while watching the Clintons dance with no music.
So it it was a uh it it it's a lot of people just misunderstand the whole purpose of uh companies and what they're for.
They're they they're not there to help a community.
They work hand in hand, but companies don't form in order to make sure a community stays vibrant.
They do contribute and donate to it, of course, but the purpose is the ongoing success of the company, and whatever you as an employee contribute to that ongoing success is how your value is going to be assessed and how your compensation will be assessed.
Now, there of course, not everything is fair at every step of the game, but that's the theory.
And a proper understanding of that would help so many people who don't even get that much about it.
Well, it seems like everybody's got a book out there.
I was just walking out uh top of the hour break to see Snerdley in his uh in his office.
John Gibson's got a book, John Gibson, Fox News Radio, Fox News Channel.
And I got uh this week, I really want to suggest this one to you.
This Steve Forbes has uh has sent me a copy of his book, How Capitalism Will Save Us.
Why free people and free markets are the best answer in today's economy.
I'm I'm saddened that this is necessary.
But it's kind of like these books on the power of positive thinking.
You gotta keep reading them.
You forget how to think positively.
We have we're we're in we're in in such a an educational decline that the real engine that made this the greatest country in the history of human civilization is not being taught.
It's being maligned, it's being impugned, it's under assault, it's under attack.
And Steve's book, he wrote it with Elizabeth Ames, and it is not in any kind of wonk language or economist speak that you can't understand.
It's it's uh it's just this straight down the line layperson language.
And it's called and I'm here, I'll show it to you people watching on the Ditto Cam.
It's got a very, very uh strikingly bold yellow cover.
It's called How Capitalism Will Save Us, Why Free People and Free Markets Are the Best Answer in Today's Economy.
So while you're out there trying to thumb through Palin's book without buying it.
I know how you people are in the bookstores.
I've had books.
Uh pick up a copy of Steve's, because it is good.
It is, it is, and it's you know, Thomas Sowell has a bunch of great books on economics.
I know.
Uh yeah, and that's that's right.
Sowell, Sol has a uh I can't wait for this one.
He's got one coming in uh in January on the elites, the intellectual class, and what they have done to uh American culture, American education, American politics.
Uh that's that's gonna be a biggie.
Bob in San Antonio as we go back to the phones and open line Friday.
Hello, sir.
Good afternoon, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Thoroughly enjoy your show, and I still thoroughly enjoy a couple ties that I have of yours.
Well, thank you.
Um I hope we get a chance to bring it on in terms of fair.
But you know, part of the reason I think that that they fear her, she's not a soccer mom, as I heard on on the on the recordings while I was waiting.
Uh she's a hockey mom, and that they're much more vicious.
Yeah, it this is irrational.
They're their uh their their hatred for her is irrational.
A woman can't do anything to anybody right now.
She can't do anything for anybody right now other than her family.
Uh but it is, you know, she's she's she's uh she has absolute values.
She has no doubts about what she believes.
She has no lack of confidence, and that just bugs them.
It bugs them all to hell.
And that's why she connects so well.
But the reason I called, I'm not sure that the Democrats think they're committing suicide.
As you mentioned earlier, with what they're doing with this bill, because what I keep wondering is all of these districts around the country that are getting all these all these funds that uh Congress passed earlier this year.
Um, except that these districts don't exist.
It makes me wonder where all these funds are going to and where they're going to appear next year, and if they think they have a chance that's a good thing.
Well, there's two things here.
I know what you're telling you.
Yeah, you're basically saying we had a giant slush fund here, and it is being used to buy these votes.
You know, made up congressional districts, uh non existent congressional districts.
You know, Mark Stein had a great line.
He said, Acorn, why worry about registering individual voters when you can register a whole district?
I mean, this is this is this is made to order for Acorn.
People voting now from these these non-existent districts.
Uh so there's no question votes are being bought.
Mary Landrew got a hundred million dollars in this in the Senate Healthcare bill from Dingy Harry, and by the way, Dingy Harry is now gonna go down to New Orleans for a fundraiser hosted by Mary Landrew.
I mean, we're we're dealing here with in our face, right out in the open corruption.
Yeah.
They're not even trying to hide it out there, Bob.
It is just it is in your face corruption.
And they're saying you can't stop us, and we're gonna do this.
Now, You may be right that they don't think they're committing suicide.
Some of them know that they are in the House.
But Nancy Pelosi is happy to lose some of her herd.
You know, thinning the herd, she'd be happy to get rid of some of these blue dogs, have them go back home and lose.
Blue dogs and pro lifers.
Yep, she'd be happy.
She'd be happy.
Oh, she'd love to get rid of Stupec.
But in the Senate, it's a little different because these guys are only, you know, only a third of the place is up for reelection every two years.
And Dingy Harry is up uh next year.
And uh he's he's he's gonna have some trouble in Nevada, and uh Grass Muston put out a poll today, by the way, that uh it JD Hayworth, who I I'm not can I I don't think J.D. Hayworth has announced that he's gonna run, has he?
But in that that Rasmussen did a poll out there, and he's only two points behind McCain in their in a Republican primary poll for for the uh 2010 Senate Republican nomination in Arizona.
Now here is the reason that they probably do not think they're committing suicide.
You've heard that the bill doesn't get implemented until 2013.
Now what's magical about that is is that 2012 is the presidential year.
That's interesting because the impact of this bill will not be felt before the presidential race in 2012.
Then we heard, and we know it's true, that when they send these bills down to Congressional Budget Office to get scored, they have to score them in ten year increments.
I guess that's Paul's.
And the way they come in with these low numbers like Reed got for $848 billion, is that the health care aspect doesn't start, the benefits, the spending doesn't start until year three or four.
But the tax increases and everything else start immediately.
For example, there's a uh one that's gonna start in in the in January if the thing passes a new marriage penalty in the health care bill imposes a tax on individuals to make a couple hundred grand annually, but married couples making just fifty thousand more.
That's one of seventeen new taxes imposed by the bill, also creates a levy on elective plastic surgery, Botox, the bow tax, and uh places a forty percent excise tax on those who have generous or Cadillac health care plans.
And some of these bills, some of these taxes uh will go into effect pretty soon.
Now, Snerdley asked me yesterday, it's a long way, Bob, of getting to the answer you want, but I need to set it all up.
Snerdly asked me yesterday, I don't understand how it is that if the tax increases, say start in 2010, and the health spending doesn't start till 2013, I don't understand how the Democrats aren't gonna be hurt.
I mean, people's taxes start going up, all these new fees, uh, you have to have insurance, and if you don't have it, you go to if all that stuff starts in 2010 or even eleven, how can that not have a negative impact on the Democrats?
And that got me to thinking.
I wonder when the ten years actually begin.
What if when they say the bill isn't implemented until 2013, what if they mean the tax increases aren't implemented until 2013 and the health spending doesn't start till 2016.
Now I don't know if that's the case.
I'm gonna endeavor to find out because it is crucial because if they if they pass this thing any time in the next six months, Obama's gonna sign it, and the tax increases start immediately, then there is gonna be a negative impact on these guys, and they are playing kamikaze with themselves.
They are committing suicide.
And I don't believe they're gonna I I hard for me to believe that they would uh think they could withstand that.
Because these tax increases are massive.
They are all over the place.
They're on everybody.
They are punitive.
The IRS fining you for this, inspecting you.
I mean, it's just it's folks, it's insidious.
So if they put all of this off until 2013, that gets Obama reelected.
They hope they're out of the recession by then, and then after Obama's reelected in 2012, and these guys get elected next November and a couple years after that with Obama, pfft, then as they say the excrement hits the fan seven years from now.
Now, I think it's a little I I just can't believe they're gonna wait that long to start the tax increases.
So that's how if if these tax increases start immediately and the health spending part doesn't start till 2013, then there's going to be plenty of ammo that people are going to be fired up with and angry about because their taxes are going up and they will be committing political suicide.
We'll just have to see how this shakes out.
One other thing.
A uh Senate.
Uh, here it is.
I want to make sure I get this right.
Uh the Senate Republican Communications Center has put out something that says this a new study of Senate voting patterns shows that the Senate has approved more than 97% of bills subject to a cloture motion to begin debate.
A finding they say here that could undercut Democrat efforts to paint the key health care vote Saturday as procedural or as a uh a test vote, which is what the media is calling it's Congressional Research Service uh put this out.
Now that is not good.
If 97% of all bills pass after the first procedural cloture vote of 60 is achieved, then that's not good.
I mean, that statistically indicates this thing is going to become a done deal at some point.
This vote Saturday does not pass the bill that just starts the debate, but history shows that 97% of such bills do become law after successful procedural or test votes, like the one that's going to come up on Saturday.
Democrats are out there.
Oh no, no, no, no, it's a procedural vote.
Here, no, no, no big deal.
We just do a test vote.
Uh don't be worried about this.
Let's just see what our strength is on the Now the Senate Republican communications center is putting this out trying to undercut the Democrats and what they're saying.
That isn't gonna matter.
Uh the point is that Reed's gonna get this done Saturday.
I mean the got Ben Nelson.
You think there's any hope?
You think there's any hope now, Sterling?
Well, you think there's even a shrivel, a shred of a chance they're not gonna get their 60.
I mean, they just they just Roland Burrish, you know, he was an obstacle.
We just gave him a little slap on the wrist uh for for what uh his purported uh don't want to say crimes, well, his purported uh indiscretion, ethical violations, yes, they slap on the wrist, so he's uh he's good to go.
Landrew apparently in in uh locked in with the story on that of some ABC amazingly.
What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform?
Here's a case study.
Page 432 of the Reed Bill.
There is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for certain states recovering from a major disaster.
The section spends two pages defining which states would qualify, saying among other things, that it would be states that during the preceding seven fiscal years have been declared a major disaster area.
I'm told the section applies, as Jonathan Carl, by the way, applies to one state, Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrew, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill.
Other words, the bill spends two pages describing what could be written with a single word, Louisiana.
Senator Reed who drafted the bill cannot pass it without the support of Mary Landrew.
How much does it cost?
According to the CBO, this provision for Landrew, 100 million dollars.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network.
A quick question before we grab the next call.
Okay, we've got pretty good evidence today.
By the way, thank you for for um shutting down Mark Morano's website, Climate Depot.com.
We love doing that.
I love shutting down people's websites.
It doesn't last long, but a lot of people flooded his server, Climate Depot.com.
Uh they've hacked into some major global warming uh scientist computers, and they've uh found email evidence, thousand over a thousand emails, that uh the science is ginned up, that the people are making it up, doctoring numbers and so forth.
Now, you know, I love to study human nature.
The dead giveaway that the left is lying about global warming is before us today.
There has been solid scientific evidence, irrefutable that global warming has come to a halt.
Even the global warming guys, we had a story earlier this week.
Oh, what happened?
Well, uh, the world's not getting warmer.
Oh no!
Our models uh can't figure that where we're stumped.
Remember that story early week, it was might have been yesterday.
They're trying to isolate the reason for that.
Lack of sunspots, solar cooling, probably the most likely explanation there looking at uh ocean currents.
We have pictures, the lack of sunspots is not a theory.
There aren't any sunspots, and that's potentially bad news.
Now, normal people with no agenda, who have been warning us of the dire consequences to animal life, plant life, plankton scum, and everybody else from global warming.
We're all gonna perish.
We're gonna die.
Cuba is gonna be underwater, so is Denver.
The sea levels are gonna rise, the polar bears are gonna get so hot that they are going to come shed themselves in front of us to make us and attack us for doing this to them.
It's gonna be utter disaster central.
You would think they'd be happy.
Normal people without an agenda would be relieved to discover this decline in temperatures.
After all the theories and the computer models predicting global warming, we now have solid scientific evidence that temperature readings here on Earth are falling.
That's only steady at least.
A normal person wouldn't lash out.
A normal person wouldn't try to bury the evidence.
Normal person would not exploit children to advance what is now known to be a lie.
We have comforting evidence that for some strange reason has made statists uncomfortable.
That's how we know they're liars with fixed political agendas.
Now they actually want this destruction.
They want it.
They want the polar bear to die.
Because now they're not going to die, and we're not going to die.
And sea levels are not going to rise.
And you would think they would be happy.
But they are not.
By the way, Mitch McConnell had a great line to describe this, the timeline on health care tax increases versus health care spending.
It's like this.
You go in, you buy a house, the bank gives you a mortgage, and you have to pay four years before you get to move in.
That's what's facing us.
Pay four years before you get to move in.
All so they can hide.
The actual cost of this monstrosity.
Washington Post today.
Angry Congress lashes out at Obama political.
Obama takes friendly fire on the economy.
The uh Democrats are just getting paranoid over their reelection bids in 2010.
They're asking what are Pelosi and Reed doing to us.
