Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Hey, is everybody having fun now?
House Democrats meeting behind closed doors.
Even as we speak, they've been meeting behind closed doors since I got here this morning.
And they are trying to come up with a new rule, the slaughter rule, appropriately named.
After what they're trying to do to the country, this is Louise Slaughter.
She's head of the House Rules Committee.
And basically, what they want to do is just deem the Senate bill to have been passed.
Without voting on it, just deem it to have passed in the House and then write their own corrections bill, reconciliation bill, send that back to the Senate and put the onus on them to pass what the House wants.
That's what the big meeting behind closed doors is about, that, and I'm sure some other things.
Great to have you here, folks.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network.
I know it's not funny, but you have to laugh.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, the email address, El Rushbo at EIBnet.com.
How was the pizza in there?
These guys ordered pizza for lunch in the absolute worst place that you could ever order pizza.
I'm not going to mention it, but it's the absolute worst place.
Of all the places you could order it.
You liked it?
Okay, then pizza standards and qualities of standards sunk.
Here in the, oh, it's Brian's favorite?
It's got to be price-related then.
It can't be, it can't be, can't be the taste, can't be the quality.
All right, get this.
Try this headline.
This is from the UK Guardian.
The ChiComs, the ChiCom government wants to crack down on press freedom and introduce a new training system that requires journalists in China to train in Marxist and communist theories of news.
That's easy.
Send them to the University of Missouri Journalism School.
Send them to Columbia School of Journalism in New York.
Send them to any university in America that has a J school.
You want to teach Marxist and communist news theory?
We got it down pat here.
Now, the deputy general director of the General Administration of Press and Publication is a guy named Lee Dongdong.
And if Eric Massa ever meets this guy, it's going to be fun to watch.
There's a tickle fight for you.
Eric Massa with Lee Dongdong, who heads a news division over the ChiComs, turning communists and Marxism.
He told the South China Morning Post that some mainland reporters, Chikom mainland reporters, were giving Chikom journalism a bad name because they were not properly trained.
Which, you know what that means.
They forgot the template.
They're busting out of the mold.
Under communist theories of journalism, media should support the leadership rather than operate as a watchdog.
Well, as I say, we have it down pat here.
The U.S. media, well, what would it have?
The state-controlled media, the drive-by media, the mainstream media, the legacy media, the old guys, I mean, sure, there's nothing that the Chi-Coms could teach them.
There's nothing that Provident could teach them.
So the journalists here in the United States have already taken this training.
This would.
Oh, really?
I'm told that the guys at Camo X in St. Louis are affiliate, say this is the kind of story that I would love.
Well, yeah, Camo X announcer Mark Reardon.
So if you really want to spread the paranoia, you could intro this story, the all-knowing all.
And Mark at Camo X wins your bet.
It is the first thing I talked about, and I did not know.
I just got this note that Mark Reardon predicted.
I wonder what Tom Friedman, by the way, the New York Times thinks of the enlightened SHICOM leadership now.
How do you go against this if you're an American journalist?
How do you go against it?
Great news, folks.
And I got to pat myself on the back here for this one.
Gallup annual update on Americans' attitudes toward the environment shows up public.
And over the last two years, they've become less worried about the threat of global warming, less convinced that its effects are already happening, and more likely to believe that scientists themselves are uncertain about the occurrence.
I mean, folks, I have led the charge on this for well over 20 years.
The nation is thanking me.
The numbers are pretty big here.
More and more people now figuring out this whole thing has been, if it's not a hoax yet, it over-exaggerated to the point that they don't believe it anymore.
Climategate, all the stuff at East Anglia, all the fraud uncovered at the UN has gone virtually unreported in this country because of Marxist journalism theory.
So I say, who is responsible for this dramatic turnaround in what Americans think about global warming?
I love the headline that goes with the story.
Americans' global warming concerns continue to drop.
So the American people, American people getting the facts on Al Gore's fraud, his scam, and the big lie.
Well, we'll have to see.
Snerdley wants to know how this news, the Gallup poll, will affect the Sullivan Group's suspended February audit or audit of my opinions.
It's on hold because they have yet to assess whether or not I was right or wrong in suggesting the House Republicans refuse to attend Obama's summit.
Now, it's amazing.
Yesterday, I played a song.
I played Waldo de Los Rios, Mozart Symphony 40 in G minor.
And it's amazing the reaction I've gotten to this.
I mentioned that I put it through the flamethrower, our broadcast equipment, to compress it.
I played the compressed version.
And I said, it sounds great, but you can't get one of these.
And what you could, but you wouldn't know how to hook it up.
It's not something you'll go into Best Buy or Stereo One and pick up.
It's broadcast equipment.
So I got a note here.
I got the following email.
Dear Rush, I'm another old broadcast engineer who loves radio.
I believe I was in the class following yours at Elkins, this Elkins Institute of Radio and Electronics in Dallas.
I was there in 67.
I wish I'd been able to meet you then.
I think it would have been buds.
Anyway, as someone who's been in radio as long as you, I know Apex never made a flamethrower.
So which unit do you have?
He's right.
We have the, what is it, Brian?
The APEX.
Yeah, the APEX 2020 FK2.
MK2.
MK2.
The flamethrower is the setting.
There are a number of presets that you can determine how much compression you want.
Flamethrower is the setting.
This guy, Mike Van Hooser, is exactly right.
He wants to know if we have the oral exciter or the dominator.
Neither one.
But he said, for somebody who can't really hear, you had it tuned perfectly for AM and it sounded great.
Then, I mean, what are the odds?
I'm going to get an email from somebody who understands the flamethrower setting on the APEX and went to Elkins Institute of Radio and Electronics.
This guy probably had a Remco Caravelle when he was growing up, too.
Then, Coco Jr. at the website.
No, it was Coco Sr. at the website last 12.15 this morning sends me a note.
Movers and shakers at Amazon.
And there are three Waldo de Los Rios CDs.
One of them was ranked number 130,905 yesterday.
At the end of the day yesterday, it was number 51.
That was an increase of 256,000%.
Number two, Waldo de Los Rios CD was ranked at Number 59, 150, no, 134,355th place moved up to number 59.
A one-man stimulus package here for Waldo De Los Rio CDs, all three of them showing, I mean, increases in standings at the hit list at Amazon, movers and shakers list, 256,000% increase, 227,000% increase, and on the third one, 18,000% increase.
A one-man stimulus for a guy that probably most people have never heard of.
Big, big, did you see Patrick Kennedy's meltdown on the floor of the House of Representatives yesterday?
It was fabulous.
This just proves, and somebody, I forget who wrote this today, somebody didn't print it, but it just proves that great, great families, by the time you get to the third generation, all of the grandeur and all the greatness is gone.
And all you end up was just shirt-sleeve type embarrassment.
It's pretty, I mean, it's not just the Kennedys.
I mean, you look at the Vanderbilts, you look at, I mean, look, Cornelius Vanderbilt built the railroads, and one of his offspring or great-grandsons, Anderson Cooper, has 25,000 viewers tonight on CNN.
I mean, these progressions inexorably take place.
So we have that for you and some follow-ups, some similar meltdowns by other Kennedys that we have chronicled over the years.
We also have, let's see, the updates of what's happening here with the health care bill and how the House Democrats, I mean, really, they're just, and they can probably do it.
I mean, they can make their own rules.
They can just say, yeah, we're going to deem the Senate bill passed in the House.
Nobody's going to vote for it.
We're just going to deem it passed.
We're going to add our change.
They're going to send it back over there at the Senate, make them deal with it.
They want to take out the Cornhusker kickback.
They want to take out the Louisiana Purchase and all that.
So let's see.
Oh, did I not predict this?
This is from the San Francisco Chronicle.
With unemployment still stubbornly high, despite last year's fiscal stimulus, a top House Democrat and Bay Area lawmaker yesterday proposed sending cities $100 billion over the next two years to forestall predicted layoffs and hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of city workers, teachers, and other public employees.
By city workers, we mean union foot soldiers.
The bill by Representative George Miller of Martinez is part of a welter of legislation, including a major extension of unemployment benefits through Election Day.
About 8 million jobs have been lost since the recession.
Now, keep in mind here, we predicted this was going to happen.
The stimulus money went to the states to help them shore up their deficits and keep union workers, state employees on the payroll.
And now it's run out.
And they're going to start laying people off.
And we've even had those stores.
So now, $100 billion that we don't have sent out to all these cities and states, which are going to be run by Democrats.
I doubt the others will get the money, to keep these union foot soldiers employed.
Now, one thing, you know, I get into a little hot water when I start talking about this subject because I'm big on people working.
But I have to tell you, the more public employment we get and the more money that goes to those jobs, the less of it in the private sector.
Jobs in the private sector produce things.
Jobs in the government sector are a drain on the private sector by definition.
You have to take money out of the private sector in the form of taxes, printing it or borrowing it in order to pay this ever-expanding group of government employees, which does not produce anything.
They are a pure drain.
And they now, in terms of union workers, outnumber private sector union workers.
And the average income of a private sector employee is now about $7,000 a year less than a government employee.
For the first time, government employees, on average, make $67,000 versus $60,000 a year.
Average.
Quick timeout.
Much more.
We barely scratched the surface here.
Sit tight.
Rushlin Boss serving humanity.
Talent on loan.
So much talent on loan from God.
I just received an urgent message.
The Obama people are out in force today, seminar calling talk shows.
I just got a heads up.
I just warned Mr. Snerdley.
I didn't warn him.
I alerted him.
Apparently, the Obama droids from Organizing for America and other White House websites, those basically union thugs, are under orders today to call every talk show that begins discussing healthcare and to try to flood the lines.
Now, we heard of this the last time they tried it, and we eagerly sought out some of these seminar callers, and we didn't get any.
None of them made.
In fact, Snerdley didn't even get any to assess whether they're airworthy or not.
So I just warned Snerdley or alerted him to be on the lookout.
And if he finds one, because they're kind of like aliens on this show, if you find one, put him at the front of the line.
Now, and since we got to talk about health care right to qualify for the smear calls, spam calls.
So here, here's a story.
This is from the Communist Party USA's newspaper called a People's World, formerly the Daily Worker.
And it was published yesterday.
Some 5,000 activists demanding health care now descended on the nation's capital March the 9th to call for the arrest of the nation's leading health insurance executives who had gathered at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.
Now, understand this is being done within the Obama imprimatur.
This is being done with the approval and probably the orders under the orders of Obama.
These are the same people that showed up on the front yards of AIG execs to hassle them over bonuses.
Now you got the service employee international union, primarily who did this, but there were a lot of others showing up at the Ritz-Carlton, Washington, demanding that insurance company executives be arrested.
Richard Trumka, president, AFL-CIO, said inside that building are the titans of the healthcare industry, the titans of greed.
They won't stop unless we stop them.
The only thing that'll stop them is legislation that forces them to become more humane.
We are here to turn them over to the police and say, do your duty.
We're here to help you.
Communist Party USA publication People's World goes to all government union workers.
Arrest insurance executives.
Now, I've mentioned the guts of this story three times here in the last 10 minutes, five minutes, and I haven't gotten one outraged facial expression from anybody of my staff.
Oh, really?
Okay, ho ho.
Union people running around Washington demanding that insurance company execs be arrested, and it's just another newsday.
I mean, unions, Communist Party publication, People's World, AFL-CIO leader demanding insurance company be executive be arrested, turned over to the cops.
Oh, oh, ho hummer.
Well, I know, but um, I don't know.
I think it's a pretty big deal here that Obama's ordering this to happen.
Arrest, turn them over to the cops, you know, storm their convention, their meeting, and turn them over to the cops.
All right, now we've discussed health care.
So now we qualify for the spam calls from Obama's seminar callers.
Now to Patrick Kennedy, screaming like a madman, angry at the media.
This is on the floor of the House yesterday.
There's one, two press people in this gallery.
We're talking about Eric Massa 24-7 on the TV.
We're talking about war and peace, $3 billion, 1,000 lives, and no press.
No press.
You want to know why the American public is fit?
They're fit because they're not seeing their Congress do the work that they're sent to do.
It's because the press, the press of the United States, is not covering the most significant issue of national importance, and that's the laying of lives down in the nation for the service of our country is despicable.
You want to know why the American public is fit.
We're not fit.
We're morbidly obese.
I don't know what he's talking about.
Fit to be tied.
Patrick, you know, you really are a dunce.
The press was helping you yesterday.
If the press had shown up and televised this, it would have hurt your cause.
Americans do not want to be defeated.
They don't want to surrender, Patrick.
The press did you the biggest favor in the world.
Well, not you personally.
See what press coverage has gotten you, Patrick?
Let's go back.
This kind of runs in the family.
October 20th, 1994, in Massachusetts, Senator Ted Kennedy on the campaign trail with former President Bill Clinton.
Is this Clinton country in the end?
And after we all do what needs to be done for the next two and a half weeks, and we elect Mark Roosevelt as our governor, and you re-elect.
And you re-elect old Kennedy in the United States Senate.
We're going to start on the 96 campaign to elect Bill Clinton as our re-elected mother next minute.
So, you see, we've played this over the course of many months, years, and people take stabs and wild guesses at what the senator was, may he rest in peace, saying.
And he wasn't saying, there were no words here to translate.
Wait again, Mike.
We can squeeze it in here before we have to go to the break again.
Is this Clinton country?
It needs to be done for the next two and a half weeks.
And we elect Mark Roosevelt as our governor.
And you're really in the United States Senate.
We're going to start on the 96 campaign to elect Bill Clinton as our re-elected mother next minute.
Senator Kennedy, October 20th, 1994, with his own rant.
We'll be back right away.
Executing assigned host duties flawlessly Rush Limbaugh, a man you could and would totally trust your wife, your daughter, your kids, and your dog overnight in a five-star hotel while you're on the road on a sales trip.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program.
All right, Cookie was rolling on it.
I caught the bare end of this.
Pelosi just came out of the bat cave with an announcement of whatever it is she and the Democrats have decided to do are e health care and reconciliation.
And I caught the tail end of it.
And I can only surmise that we were rolling on it.
We'll have the sound bites coming up in mere moments.
From what I heard, it sounds like that the news reports today about the slaughter rule are what she was talking about.
I heard her say, we're going to take out the Cornhusker kickback, and we're going to take out the Louisiana purchase, and we're going to add in something Obama wants to do is add, increase the Medicare tax by applying it to any gains that you make on your investment portfolio, what was called unearned income.
So, in addition to the payroll tax of Medicare, they want to get more Medicare tax by taxing investment profits.
And she mentioned that.
She said it was great to have heard from the president to find out what he wants.
So, it sounds to me like what they're going to do, and John Boehner put this on his website earlier today.
They basically want to pass the Senate bill without voting on it.
And here again, the process is just going to enrage everybody.
It's already being forced down people's throat who want no part of this.
They don't have the votes for it in any way, shape, manner, or form following existing rules.
So, they're trying reconciliation.
That apparently isn't going to work because the House and the Senate don't trust each other, the Democrats.
The House does not have the votes to pass the Senate bill as is.
It doesn't have the right abortion language for Stupak.
It's got all the giveaways to two states or three or four states, but not enough other states, like the Cornhusker kickback and a bunch of does not have a specifically spelled out public options.
The Senate bill to the House Democrats is like going across the Dracula.
They just don't like it.
So, the scheme, the twisted scheme by which a Democrat leader's plan to bend the rules to ram Obama's legislation through Congress now has a name, the slaughter solution.
Louise Slaughter, Democrat New York chairman, chairwoman of the Rules Committee and a very important key ally of Pelosi are just going to deem the House to have passed the Senate bill without voting on it.
Now, to you and I, I say, wait, wait a minute.
Then why don't we just deem Obama the president in 2012 and suspend the vote?
Why even bother with Congress?
Why even have legislation if we're just going to deem things to have passed, things that we want?
Okay, we're just going to pretend we passed the Senate bill and we're going to mark it up.
We're going to add our changes to it and we're going to send it back.
This is, look, they can make their own rules there.
I don't, I'm not enough of a parliamentary expert, congressional expert.
You know, these guys, if they want to hide $90,000 in cold cash in a refrigerator in their office, they can keep the FBI out of there from searching for it.
Separation of powers.
The FBI is part executive branch.
They're the congressional branch, legislative, just as an example.
So why do you even need Congress?
If Obama just, I look at, I deem health care to have passed, and I'm going to sign what I deem to have passed.
Where does this end?
This is what you have, folks.
These are pure unadulterated statists getting close to totalitarians.
This is what you have to do if you want to overthrow from within the U.S. government when you don't have the votes of the American people to do it.
So they're going to deem the Senate bill to have been passed without an actual vote by members.
They're going to pass the Senate bill with no vote on it.
And then they're going to do their own reconciliation of it.
They're going to take things out of it.
They're going to add things to it and then, I don't know, send it up to Obama or send it back to the Senate.
I don't know what the process is after that.
So they want to pass a bill that they haven't voted on and a bill that's essentially unwritten right now.
And again, I don't know if this is legal.
Probably is.
I do know this.
If the House passes the reconciliation bill without a vote in the Senate, it'll be, I mean, that's, folks, this is this slap in our face like you can't believe.
This is spitting in our face doing this.
The only way to describe it.
And the CBO, let me find this.
This is just outrageous, too.
The CBO now has a score of the Senate-passed health bill, an estimate of the budgetary effects of the Senate-passed health bill.
And they say that it's going to reduce the deficit by $118 billion.
Now, the bill's passed in the Senate on Christmas Eve, and CBO has just released an estimate of the budgetary effects of the bill that passed the Senate.
Today's estimate differs from the estimate for a slightly earlier version that we released on December 19th in that it encompasses all the amendments that were adopted by the Senate, reflects a revised assumption about the enactment date, and incorporates some technical revisions.
The CBO, the Joint Committee on Taxation, now estimate that on balance, the mandatory spending and revenue effects of enacting the Senate bill would yield a net reduction in federal deficits of $118 billion over the 2010-2019 period.
That's frankly a lie.
There is no way any of this is going to reduce the deficit.
This is just another estimate of the already passed Senate bill.
This is not an estimate of the reconciliation bill that the House and Pelosi are somehow working on now.
This CBO estimate's based on numerous cheats, numerous shams, such as front-loading the taxes for four years before any so-called health care reform benefits begin being paid.
And again, don't forget this: Congress has offloaded many costs to Medicare and Medicaid, like the $250 billion so-called doctor fix.
This is nothing but a bunch of gimmicks.
And so everybody in Washington, what will the CBO say?
What will the CBO say?
It doesn't make any difference what the CBO says.
The CBO will score Obamacare.
The gimmick, not the reality.
This whole thing is a gimmick.
What the CBA is scoring, CBO's scoring will tell us what it will cost for Congress to keep its word, which does not happen.
Basically, they're saying, well, if Congress does what it says here, this is what the financial result is going to be.
See, the House Democrats don't trust Senate Democrats to keep their word and vice versa.
And the CBO is going to tell you what it'll cost if both of them keep their word.
More of a sham.
A quick phone call, Mike, in St. Louis.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Rush, I love you.
I would have your child.
And I hate to do this to you, but you were wrong yesterday.
And you weren't just like a little bit, oops, did I say that?
It's a big, did I really say that?
When you said America has realized, I'm glad the auditing firm's on suspension this month.
When you said that America has realized we made a big mistake by electing Obama, the consequences would have been we'd have elected John McCain.
And if McCain was president, we'd have cap and trade and we'd have to.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
The two don't go together.
You're putting A and B together and not getting C.
The American.
Look at in this equipment.
McCain doesn't figure into the thinking here.
Nobody's saying, oh, I wish we'd have voted for McCain.
They're saying, this is not what we voted for.
They're saying we got screwed.
We got tricked.
We got defrauded.
But they're not saying, oh, my gosh, I wish we had McCain in there.
But Rush, the only alternative would have been McCain if we didn't.
And if McCain would have been there, you know.
I know that you know because I'm a student of EIB.
I'm a critical thinker because of you.
If McCain was there, McCain believes in global warming.
He believes in national health care, and he'd have brought along all those moderate Olympia snows with him.
Mike, even if they invent an artificial womb, and even if you could get Eric Mass in the equation, I would not have your child.
And I wouldn't let you have mine.
But I'm just telling my friend, old buddy, this is not about McCain.
This is not about McCain.
When I spoke yesterday, the American people now realize what a mistake it was electing this guy.
They're not saying, oh, my gosh, I wish we'd elected McCain.
They're saying, God, we got defrauded.
We got shafted.
By the way, nobody is thinking that we'd have had the same stuff, only worse, if we hadn't elected Obama, because nobody can imagine it being any worse, except you.
And a lot of people agree with you about McCain, but McCain doesn't fit in this analysis.
I appreciate your passion on this.
And I don't disagree.
We'd have had a lot of crossing the aisle walking across the aisle to get along and get along.
But both of these are ifs.
You know, if we'd done this, then if we'd done that.
And I don't believe in if.
If is for children.
Roger Whitaker, early 60s, late 60s.
But the whole concept of, it's not an if with the election of Obama.
It is, we screwed up.
We screwed up and we got screwed.
And it's contained within that, shall we say, framework.
Great that you call.
We'll be back in just a second.
Don't go away.
Bah.
T-Rex and bang your gong.
We dedicate this bumper song to Eric Massa, now trying to find himself.
Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, 800 282-2882.
Great to have you here.
By the way, this MASA guy, he had a track record that nobody reported that a lot of people knew.
For example, according to Peter Clark, a Navy shipmate, Massa was notorious for making unwanted advances towards subordinates.
He tells the story of his friend Stuart Borsch, with whom Massa shared a hotel room while on leave during the First Gulf War.
Stewart's at the edge of the bed, Clark says Borsch told him at the time, and Massa starts massaging him.
Massa said, you'll have to.
You have to get one of my special massages.
He called them Massa massages.
Ron Moss, a Navy shipmate and Borsch's roommate, confirmed that Borsch told him the story at the time.
Clark says that Massa's roommate, Tom Maxfield, who was also assaulted.
Tom lived in an upper bunk.
When you're on ship, you're almost exhausted 24-7, so a lot of times you sleep with a uniform on.
Tom and Massa shared a stateroom together.
Massa climbed up on top of his bunk, which is hard to do.
You never crawl up on somebody else's bunk.
He wakes up to Massa undoing his prance, trying to snorkel him.
I kid you not.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is in the Atlantic.
This is in theatlantic.com wakes up to Massa undoing his pants, trying to snorkel him.
What the hell is that?
I guess we'll just have to imagine.
Washington Post, Nancy Pelosi's office was told of concerns about Eric Massa.
You know, this is how they got Foley out of there.
The Democrats knew about Foley in the pages, and they held it, and they held it, and they held it.
They gave it to Brian Ross right before the 2006 elections.
And now the same accusations are being made here at Pelosi and Hoyer and Pelosi.
Well, I had heard rumors, but I didn't know these details.
What a sad guy.
Well, what a very, very sad guy.
Here's a.
The Washington Post story describes a lunch date that Massa made with a congressional aide in his 20s who worked in Barney Frank's office.
According to a person briefed on the call, Rocalto was concerned that the lunch followed a pattern by Massa of trying to spend time alone with young gay men with no ostensible work purpose.
Gary Studd's got a standing owe for announcing he did this kind of stuff when he was in the house.
You know, snurdy, that's an excellent point, isn't it?
We were told this kind of stuff doesn't happen in the military.
Anyway, the point is the Democrats knew all of this.
They knew a lot of this, and they just sat on it.
Republican leaders cited as precedent the committee's 2006 decision to investigate claims that Mark Foley, Florida Republican, sent sexually explicit messages to some former male pages.
The committee's decision came after Foley stepped down from Congress.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the claims relayed to the Ethics Committee were far more serious than that, involving multiple incidents and potential victims almost as far back as January of 2009 when Massa took office.
So Politico has the story.
Pelosi aide knew of Massa concerns far earlier than previously known.
She took no action and is laying it off on her staff.
Well, staff didn't tell me.
We knew that there were rumors and so forth.
Did you hear about John Conyers' wife?
Get this.
A former Detroit City Councilwoman married to John Conyers was sentenced to 37 months in prison yesterday for bribery after a federal judge refused to set aside her guilty plea during a stormy court hearing dominated by a dispute over evidence of other payoffs.
So she admitted it.
She pleaded guilty.
She got three years in a day, and she's yellow.
She wants to recount or recant the plea.
She wants to take it back.
She was screaming and shouting as they dragged her out of the courtroom.
As guards cleared the PAC courtroom, Monica Conyers, 45, yelled that she plans to appeal.
The wife of John Conyers, who, by the way, was seen applauding.
No, I made that up.
Wanted to withdraw her guilty plea, suggesting she was the victim of badgering last year when she admitted taking money to support a Houston company's sludge contract with the city.
Sludge contract.
