Time Text
Yes, it's great to be with you.
America's Anchorman is away.
He'll be back on Wednesday directly taking time out from his onerous Miss America pageant judging duties and coming to you live from Las Vegas on Wednesday.
In the meantime, your undocumented anchorman, no supporting paperwork, coming to you live.
from Ice Station EIB, New London, New Hampshire, fogbound New London, New Hampshire.
And you know, I mentioned an hour ago that what got to me was, as I hadn't been to New London for a while, they got this like roundabout on the edge of town.
Now, I hate roundabouts.
I fled the old country to avoid roundabouts.
So it's like one of these things where people huddle, come to America, and then they see all the horrors of the lands they fled being introduced here.
But I got this, I was talking about roundabouts, I got this thing from Will who goes, roundabout, he says very sniffly, roundabouts are called rotaries in New England.
Learning the dialect of your audience would be to your benefit.
Well, you know, this is very interesting, Will.
When I first came here, they were called rotaries.
Like, they got a big roundabout on Route 25 in Plymouth, New Hampshire, and people used to call it a rotary.
And Bob, who owns WNTK, the radio station where we're broadcasting from in New London, he said to me when he told us how to get to the station, he goes, go past the roundabout, and it's about 100 yards past the roundabout.
He's saying roundabout, roundabout, roundabout.
And I notice here that you hear the word roundabout far more than you used to.
They sneak it in as, they call it a rotary, so it doesn't sound all sinister and foreign and alien.
And then once they've established them, once they've seeded a few of them, like pods in Invasion of the Body Snatchers around the state, then they drop the term rotary and start calling them roundabouts.
So I think the days of calling it something all, trying to pass it off as something healthy and American, like a rotary, are gone.
And now we're calling them roundabout.
I'm astonished by the amount of email I've had on roundabouts.
This guy says, HR suggests an eggplant.
If we grew eggplants on every roundabout, you know, we would have a healthy greed economy.
That's the way to do it.
You're the first person I've heard complain about roundabouts at a national level.
They've appeared like an alien invasion.
They're not an alien invasion.
It would be a lot easier if these roundabouts were just like little landing parties from planet Zongo.
But they're not.
They're part of the European unionization of America.
They're little European colonies popping up.
They just seem a few yards in diameter.
Where can be the harm of that?
And they stick some flowers or an eggplant on it.
What could possibly be the harm with that?
They're part of an alien, they're part of a European invasion.
And you notice if you go away, if you're like out of the country, you go to the Caribbean for a couple of weeks or whatever, and you come back, you notice the way the roundabout, that roundabout, it seems a little bigger.
And the roads feeding into it seem just a little smaller.
Ray Roundabout, says somebody from Massachusetts, like so many things, they're wonderful in abstract theory due to liberal thinking.
But they're lousy in practice when conservative reality hits home.
He goes, almost on par with our rotaries, this is Bill, are our Massachusetts sign that proudly proclaim blind drive on right.
Who knew?
Who knew?
He goes, at first I thought this was a cautionary side to us nod blind drivers, reminding us that there would be blind drivers on the right.
So please be careful.
Yes, if you're a non-blind driver in Massachusetts, just stick to the left-hand side of the road.
It'll be a lot safer.
Blind drive on the right.
That's one of my favorites, along with slow children crossing.
That's always a problem.
And the other complaint, because it's always the big issues that people want, the big philosophical questions that people want to complain about.
And somebody said when I compared Obama with James Bond, coolly looking the Bond villain in the eye, that I got the wrong Bond villain, that it isn't Blofeld, but it's Goldfinger.
And he quotes that, and he quotes that famous exchange where James Bond in Goldfinger is strapped to the laser and Goldfinger has started the laser and it's coming up between his legs to leave him more impotent and sterile than Leo thought in Port Arthur in the last hour, thought us conservatives were.
The laser is coming up between his legs to do some serious damage.
And Bond says to Goldfinger, Do you expect me to talk?
And Goldfinger says, No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.
But on the other hand, with Obama saying, Do you expect me to talk?
I think Goldfinger would just say, Oh, God, I hope not, and flee the room in terror.
And the movie would end right there.
So we've been talking about Obama, and we're going to talk about the state of the broader economy too in this next hour: 1-800-282-2882.
I did want to say something, by the way, about this ridiculous business of Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League.
Abe Foxman attacked Rush last week for his anti-Semitism.
I have never heard anything more stupid and more contemptible from a Jewish organization than doing this stupid assault on one of the best friends in the United States of the Jewish people and of the state of Israel.
Abe Foxman is a leftist, and clearly Rush is not to his taste politically, but he ought to be able to recognize that on certain issues, Rush is the best defender that this country has.
And Abe Foxman is a lot like what my friend Ezra Levant up in Canada calls the official Jews.
He calls them official Jews.
They're people who belong to official liberal Jewish organizations who are never there on any of the key issues and want to obsess with peripheral, irrelevant issues of no consequence for the Jewish people.
And that is exactly what Abe Foxman did.
And it would be funny if we hadn't seen across the Western world the biggest resurgence in anti-Semitism since the Second World War.
What does Abe Foxman have to say about that?
What does Abe Foxman have to say about the demonstration in Fort Lauderdale last year where people are doing where demonstrators are doing oven jokes?
What does Abe Foxman have to say about the American who was visiting the East End of London on Holocaust Day last year and touring parts of the old Jewish East End and had concrete thrown at them and were told if you go any further, you're going to die and had to be taken to hospital.
What does Abe Foxman have to say when a soccer match between Sweden and Israel is scheduled for the stadium in Malmo and they have to play it behind closed doors to an empty, a tennis match, I beg your pardon, tennis.
They have to play it in an empty stadium because if they open the doors to people in Malmos, Sweden, they'd want to kill the Israeli tennis players.
What does Abe Foxman have to say when people are marching through the streets of Calgary, Alberta, shouting death to the Jews?
A timeless slogan, a timeless slogan, admittedly, but not one hitherto associated with the Rocky Mountains.
We are witnessing across the planet the biggest resurgence in anti-Semitism since the Second World War.
And this boob, this pathetic, contemptible, cowardly man, thinks it's his job as spokesperson for a major Jewish organization to attack Rush.
This is beyond pathetic.
It is actually self-destructive.
It is going to the soft target because he doesn't have the guts.
He doesn't have the guts to actually confront the real sources of anti-Semitism in the world today, which is an alliance between psychotic Islamists and the college left, the polytechnic left, the educated left in the United States and in the broader Western world.
And it goes along with other pathetic spectacles of his, such as when he attacked, what was that, not Mel Gibson movie from a couple of years ago, when he attacked Mel's movie, which is no threat to the Jewish people, when he attacks evangelical Christians who are the best friends of Israel on the planet today, unlike the secular post-Christian European university-educated types.
Evangelical Christians are the best friends of Israel on the planet today, and this idiot Foxman attacks them.
And then he goes and attacks Rush too.
You know, one of the most fascinating things I heard in all the years that the Rush Limbaugh show has been going on was listening to Rush.
I was on a long car journey, driving along, listening to Rush, reminiscing about when he'd visited Israel and he'd been up, I think he'd, correct me if I'm wrong, HR, but I think he'd been up at Ariel Sharon's house, and Sharon had been actually showing him around, showing him the Golan Heights and showing him overlooking the West Bank and Gaza and all the rest of it.
Yeah, and Rush made the point that at some places the state of Israel is narrower than a New Hampshire township.
Rush understands Israel very well and he understands the preposterousness of the entire Muslim world stretching from Morocco at the very north western corner of Africa to Lahore in Pakistan.
This entire Muslim world stretching like a block blames all its problems on a tiny little strip of land narrower than a New Hampshire township.
And Rush was never more persuasive and never more moving than when he was talking about what he understood about Israel and the situation that Israelis find themselves in than when he was talking about his visit with Ariel Sharon.
And I have never heard, I mean, Rush is a big guy.
He doesn't need me coming to his aid.
I didn't really say anything when he had his little problem in Hawaii and all these idiot websites were saying, go on, die, burn in hell, Rush.
He's a big guy.
He can take that.
But what is at issue here is the stupidity of Abe Foxman and the failure of the official Jews to identify the real threats to Jews in the world today and instead pick on soft targets like evangelical Christians, Mel Gibson's movie and Rush Limbaugh.
And in the case of Rush, you're talking about one of the best friends the Jewish people ever had.
Mark Stein in for Rush, lots more straight ahead, 1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein in Farush, great to be with you.
You know, the New York Times, there were days where the New York Times is beyond parody.
This is their analysis.
This is their analysis of the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts.
Quote, after, this is the headline, quote, after Senate race, some say barrier for women in Massachusetts still stands, unquote.
This is like the, what is it, the famous parody headline, the end of the world is nigh, women and minorities hardest hit.
This is this, Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts wasn't to do with him being a man, and it wasn't to do with Martha Coakley being a woman.
It was to do with the kind of woman that she is.
She's a liberal woman, and she was offering to facilitate Obama's annexation of one-sixth of the United States economy with this healthcare excrescence, and that's why she lost.
But go ahead, go ahead.
This kind of analysis is perfect, because if they now want to put it down to the fact that Massachusetts, Massachusetts, by the way, the state where one of the first states to legalize gay marriage, I think they had the first lesbian divorce there just a few months ago.
So that's how pro-woman they are.
They'll let lesbians get divorced in Massachusetts.
But go ahead.
If you want to think it's the sexism of these inbred Massachusetts knuckle-dragging swamp-dwelling morons, go ahead, do that.
Now, we're looking ahead to President Obama's State of the Union on Wednesday.
And people want him to focus on, focus on, focus like a laser, as Bill Clinton used to say.
Focus like a laser on the economy.
Officials say Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will discuss how well the administration is doing with a commitment it has made to help middle-class families who have been struggling with the recession.
Did you know this?
I had no idea this.
There's a task force on middle-class families in the White House, apparently.
It's a blue-ribbon task force on middle-class families.
So if you're middle-class, don't worry.
You've got no chance of getting onto this.
There's no middle-class people on the middle-class task force.
But there's Obama and there's Joe Biden and there's all these other patrician grandees deciding how they can help your situation.
The White House, the Obama administration, President Obama in the State of the Union will focus on what one White House official calls, quote, the sandwich generation, unquote.
Now, when I read this, I thought that was like something to do with Chris Dodd and Ted Kennedy on the floor of a famous encounter on the floor of a Washington restaurant.
I thought, oh my God, the sandwich generation?
What, there's more than two senators going in for this kind of business?
But apparently that's not the, they're not talking about the Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy type of sandwich, which involves some reluctantly conscripted Washington waitress.
But they are instead talking about sandwich generation are struggling families squeezed between sending their children to college and caring for elderly parents.
And Mr. Obama hopes to use his speech on Wednesday to demonstrate that he understands the economic pain of the sandwich generation.
How can he understand the economic pain of the sandwich generation when he is proposing to transfer at the root of everything he proposes is the transfer of money from the dynamic sector of the American economy to the sclerotic government bureaucratic side of the economy.
There would be no problem for the so-called sandwich generation if we were allowed to keep more of our money.
And the problem here is that the Democrats finesse this issue because even when they introduce new tax cuts and new regulations and new burdens, they don't do it to the full degree so that the deficit increases and the debt burden on our children and grandchildren increases.
So it won't matter what fancy college diploma you come out with thanks to President Obama in 15 years' time if you're living in a moribund economic wasteland.
And that is where this level of government spending leads.
They can't make the arithmetic add up in Europe.
To attempt to do it continent-wide for 300 million people is a recipe for disaster on a scale the world has never seen.
In other words, this isn't simply going to be the kind of decline that Japan has seen in the last 20 years or that Germany has seen in the last 20 years.
This is going to be something even worse.
Now, people say, oh, well, you know, President Bush, he wasn't exactly a fiscal conservative.
Listen to this.
The fiscal 2010 deficit is predicted to climb to $1.5 trillion, triple what it was two years ago.
In other words, it's tripled in two years.
And normally when something triples, that's not so bad.
If you've got something that's five bucks and it's suddenly 15 bucks, that's not such a big deal.
But when it's tripling from half a trillion dollars to $1.5 trillion, that is a hole you are never going to get out of.
And that is the situation that we are building with this Obama economy.
Now, I don't believe, I think there are good faith issues here because I think when people say, well, why did he waste the last year talking about health care?
I think that was a conscious choice.
That for the Democrats, with a 60-seat majority in the Senate, healthcare was the biggest way to an instant left-of-center political culture that would permanently transform this landscape.
And we should be very grateful to Scott Brown for rolling back on that and at least deferring that for the time being.
But beyond that, it's not the deficit.
It's not the deficit.
It's the spending.
These programs are wrong and these programs are unsustainable.
1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein in for Rush on the EIB network.
Great to be with you.
Your undocumented anchor man sitting in.
Rush Returns Wednesday live from Las Vegas, Nevada.
I'm coming to you live from New London, New Hampshire, where the global warming has really kicked in, and the snow and ice and freezing rain has now turned to just good old plain rain.
So I'm sure Russia's really getting that in Vegas.
But if you can hear that loud pit of pattering, that is actually the thrashing of rain that we're getting.
So things are going to be really slick when I try to negotiate that roundabout getting out of here.
Could be skidding all over the place.
Could be a 17-car pileup on that roundabout.
Let's go to Ray in Deerfield, Virginia.
Ray, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Greetings, sir.
How are you today?
I'm doing good.
How are you?
I'm well, thank you.
I'd like to say thank you to Massachusetts, Rodolph.
Yeah, amen.
Evan Bayh, he's just as big a liar and cowardly thief as these two senators we have in Virginia, Mark Warner and Jim Webb.
They knew that this Louisiana purchase and this Nebraska kickback.
They still voted for it and shoved it down our throat.
I just pray that the good people of Indiana will see fit to put a conservative in his place.
So you are thinking that when Evan Bay says, oh, the extreme left wing has completely taken over the Democratic Party, you'd have preferred it if he'd said that six months ago.
Should have said it a year ago.
Right.
Should have said it several years ago, as a matter of fact.
And you're not happy with your own so-called blue dog, Jim Webb.
Oh, he's liberal as a calm.
He's a liar.
He lied.
Standing on a stack of Bibles, he would lie to you.
He's no good.
He's no good whatsoever.
And do you think, but Jim Webb, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he position himself slightly more cautiously on this healthcare business?
Because he didn't get the cornhusker kickback and the Louisiana Purchase and all the rest of it.
I mean, you've got nothing.
You haven't got any opt-out for Virginia or whatever, have you, on that?
Virginians don't want anything, be left alone.
That's what we want from them.
Federal government.
And Jim Webb, only reason he's in there is because of Acorn voter fraud.
All right.
I've had one good senator since I was 18.
I'm 54 years old now, and that was George Allen.
Oh, yeah.
John Warner was a socialist all the way.
That's right.
John Warner was one of those reach-across-the-aisle types.
I used to love John Warner because he would always be looking to...
Even if the other side of the aisle was completely empty, he would be looking for someone to reach across the aisle, too.
It was just...
It was just reflexive with him.
But you make a good point.
Evan Bayh suddenly saying on Tuesday, last Tuesday, what happened last Tuesday?
Let me see.
Oh, yes, there was an election in Massachusetts, and that's the day he picks to tell the Los Angeles Times that the Democratic Party has been taken over by the extreme left wing.
All this advice that's been given to Obama on the economy now, Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times, do you know Thomas Friedman?
He's the one who was, every couple of weeks now, he does a piece regretting that we don't have the same system of government as China.
Because the thing about China is that when it decides to be environmentally innovative, so for example, like banning plastic shopping bags, it can just do it, boom, like that, and one billion people suddenly no longer have plastic shopping bags.
And why can't our system of government be more like China's?
Well, there's a reason for that, and that's because we're not a communist dictatorship.
But Thomas Friedman, when he writes about this, each week he comes a little bit sneaking out of the closet a little bit more and saying, you know, what we're pining for is the smack of firm government, like the Chinese Politburo know how to deliver.
But anyway, today he was saying he was trying to give some advice to the Obama campaign.
And he said, the terrible thing is that he's turned off the young people.
Obama needs to get millions of American kids, not just the geniuses, excited about innovation and entrepreneurship again.
Obama should launch his own moonshot.
We need to make 2010 what Obama should have made 2009, the year of innovation, the year of making our pie bigger, the year of startup America.
What Thomas Friedman doesn't understand is that governments don't do this.
Governments don't create jobs.
Governments don't create innovation.
They distort the job market and they distort the innovation market.
You see it, for example, with the mandatory diversion of corn into making fuel for ethanol, mandated by the United States Congress and the European Union, and has caused massive food shortages all over the world.
Third world people are dying because people who were once growing corn to eat are now growing corn to stick into your gas tank.
You make the food supply part of the energy market, and amazingly, you disfigure both markets.
That's where Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times, raving about the smack of firm government from the Chinese Politburo, doesn't understand it.
But what I like about this is he ends the column by talking about something called the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, which is some schools-type program that matches teachers with volunteer scientists and engineers in their areas for kind of mentoring.
And he talks about these new jobs, new business plans.
And listen to what this woman, Amy Rosen, the chief executive of this Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, says were the three finalists in this year's competition that Tom Friedman raves about.
The three finalists were, quote, an immigrant's son who took a class from HR Block and invented a company to do tax returns for high school students, a young woman who taught herself how to sew and design custom-made dresses, and the winner was an African-American boy who manufactured socially meaningful t-shirts, unquote.
Now, this is the solution to the economic woes of the United States.
This is the kind of innovation that Thomas Friedman wants to see more of in Obama's America.
Let's just consider the first of those three marvelous innovative jobs.
An immigrant son who took a class from HR Block and invented a company to do tax returns for high school students.
Why do high school students need to do tax returns?
That's your problem right there.
Inventing a software program that makes it easier for high school students to do tax returns is only going to ensure that more high school students have to do tax returns.
High school students who have to do tax returns is what's wrong.
That's the problem.
The problem isn't to go to HR Block and create some Timothy Geithner type software that will make it easy for your poor 9th, 10th grader to do his tax return.
The 9th, 10th grader shouldn't be doing a tax return in the first place.
And what you should do, what you should do is free him up so that he doesn't have to do the tax return.
Let's go to this last one.
The winner was an African-American boy who manufactured socially meaningful t-shirts.
What do you think socially meaningful means in that context?
Socially meaningful t-shirts.
Does it sound a bit hopy-changey to you?
In other words, the American economy, and I don't believe that works, by the way, now, I saw, pulled out of a parking lot on my way down here today, and I saw the first hope and change bumper sticker I had seen in months because people are pulling them off.
People are rightly embarrassed about them.
This guy's been such a disaster this last year.
You know, it was different with the Kerry Edwards ones.
The Kerry Edwards, yeah, if you've got like a 2004 Subaru, which the Kerry Edwards bumper sticker came fitted as standard, that is still, people are still driving around with those now.
People have no problem with that.
And you know why?
Because liberal government is always better in theory than it is in practice.
And that's why when you drive around a liberal backwater like Vermont, you will still see all the Kerry Edwards stickers on the 2004 Subarus, but you will just see a dull bit of exposed bumper where the Obama Hopi Changey bumper sticker used to be.
So now we're saying, Thomas Friedman is saying, oh, look, we've got this great program here by which an African-American boy can be taught how to manufacture socially meaningful t-shirts.
Good luck betting the United States economy on that.
Good luck betting the United States economy on a boy who goes to HR Block and invents a company to do tax returns for high school students.
I don't think you should have to pay it.
I would be in favor of not only no tax returns for high school students, but no tax returns for as many people as possible.
But the idea we're actually taxing people, what's it going to be next?
Tax returns for middle school students?
Tax returns for grade school students?
This is what's wrong, folks.
This isn't going to save anything.
Mark Stein, Infra Rush.
We will be back with lots more straight ahead.
Mark Stein, Infra Rush.
Let's go to Ron in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Ron, thanks for waiting.
You're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Hello, Mark.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
Well, I want to thank you for taking my call.
Hey, listen, I was telling your screener, Ben Nelson about a week or so ago, or last week rather, got booed out of an Omaha restaurant.
Really?
Yeah, and that just don't happen out here.
You know, people out here are hardworking folks.
They tend to be just that way.
I think they were terribly offended by this thing that he pulled up there with this Nebraska.
So what restaurant was he in?
I really don't know.
I really don't know.
I can't remember the name of it.
Was it like a pizza place?
Well, it was a nice restaurant.
I mean, it wasn't a fast food joint.
He went in there apparently with his wife, according to the report, and people in there saw him and started yelling, get him out, make him leave, and he turned around and left.
So he goes in for his sort of fine dining experience, and he finds that all these people, what were we talking about, HR earlier?
Eggplant.
They're all sitting there having the eggplant hors d'oeuvre, and they see him, and his mind is thinking, holy cow, they're going to start slinging these eggplants at him soon.
We better hustle him out of here.
Apparently so.
He was not well received.
And you know, I want to bring up one other thing.
And, you know, I've been listening to Rush for years.
And last week, I tried to call in and correct him at the time and call him on it, but I couldn't get through.
But he referred to liberals as cockroaches.
And I find that terribly offensive to cockroaches all over the world.
I really don't see what they've done.
I think he was just referring to their nuclear instructability, that they both come crawling out of the wreckage.
So I don't know whether we apologize to any fine, upstanding members of the cockroach American community who were offended by that by that comparison.
Thank you, Ron.
But that is an excellent point, that these are not normal circumstances.
When people who are going into a restaurant for a nice meal with their loved one, if you're dining with your wife or with your mistress or if you happen to be certain former Democratic presidential candidates, and you suddenly see this guy across the other side of the room, you may see a stranger across a crowded room and you're hurling your eggplant at him because you're mad at the way he sold out your liberty in exchange for some government boondoggle.
That's the same thing that happened in Massachusetts.
Let's go to Shelly in New York City.
Shelly, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Hi.
Oh, I'm a big fan of yours, Mark.
Well, I'm a big fan of yours too, Shelly.
You've got a fan.
Yeah, that's a fantastic.
That's another.
Let's put Shelly up with Terry in the top five names.
That's a great name, too.
Shelly, what's on your mind?
Oh, okay, yes.
I was listening to Rush on Friday when he heard him say that Abe Foxman had called him an anti-Semite.
And I was so upset.
I had to run to my synagogue on Saturday to discuss this with my rabbi.
And just to say, I didn't, I just, I told my rabbi that Abe Foxman accused Rush of this.
My rabbi didn't even ask, what did Rush say?
His reaction was, Rush Limbaugh is one of the greatest friends to Israel.
Right.
Right.
And then he went on to say Foxman, You know, is kind of an egomaniac and not really representing the best interests of the Jewish community.
No, and it's not difficult at the moment because there's plenty of real anti-Semitism out there in the world today.
Absolutely disgusting.
Do you know synagogues, Jewish social events in the United Kingdom, in Belgium, in Scandinavia, in France, in Germany have to take place under armed guard.
They had, I believe this was in either one of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden, Norway, or Denmark.
I can't remember which one.
They had a Molotov cocktail thrown through a synagogue.
These are physically dangerous times for Jews in almost every other part of the Western world.
And this disgusting, craven little twerp thinks that the font of anti-Semitism is Rush Limbaugh.
This guy is a buffoon.
The ADL should be ashamed of themselves, should be embarrassed at having this guy speaking for him and should say to him, look, whatever you did in the past, it's gone now, and we'd just as soon appreciate it if you took early retirement.
These are terrible times.
We are witnessing the expansion of a horrible cancer at the heart of particularly intellectual life in the Western world in which anti-Semitism is becoming not just routine, but acceptable and approved.
Thank you very much for your call, Shelly, and I am with you and your rabbi on that.
Mark Stein in for Rush.
More coming up on the EIB network.
Mark Stein in a rush groove.
Let's go to Derek in Fort Myers, Florida.
Derek, in the dying embers of the show, what's your point?
Hi, Mark.
I wanted to mention about this anti-Semitism directed at Rush, which is totally false.
If this guy, Foxman, was doing his job, he would look at the Obama administration, which has become a laughingstock in Europe and throughout the world.
Our allies have no hope in us.
And in fact, Israel has turned to Germany for some military ally.
They've had a joint cabinet meeting last week.
Netanyahu, who's the de facto leader of the free world, because this administration doesn't have the backbone to stand up for its allies, for its loyal allies.
They even restrained retaliating against Iraq when they were getting scud shot at them.
And this guy Foxman has nothing left but ad hominem attacks against Rush.
No, and as you point out, Derek, thanks for your call.
Netanyahu has figured out that Barack Obama is the leader of the post-American world.
The post-American world is where a lot of America's friends figure they're now living.
And if you're in Israel, that means you've got to look elsewhere.
If you're in Poland and you've been stiffed on missile defense, you've got to look elsewhere.
If you're in India, you've got to look elsewhere.
And Israel is on the front line of finding out what this post-American world that Barack Obama is ushering in is going to be like.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for your call, Derek.
A rather glum note on which to end the show today.
This has been Mark Stein sitting in for Rush.
Rush is busy with the Miss America pageant.
And he's going to be coming back on Wednesday live from Las Vegas.
This has been Mark Stein.
This has been my first attempt to come to you live from New Hampshire.
I'll be doing it again tomorrow.
But that's it for now.
I've got to go.
U.S. immigration enforcement is at the door, but I'm confident that I can shake him off at the roundabout.
So we'll see you tomorrow for three hours of excellence in broadcasting live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
