Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 Podcast.
It is time to set your watch.
According to International Limbaugh Time, in 24 hours, the great man himself will be back behind the golden EIB microphone.
Today you've got Duggar Bansky.
I'm a Hollywood guy, as some of you may know.
But the countdown has indeed begun.
An enormous void takes place.
Don't you agree when Rush is not here?
I, like you, will be placed next to my radio tomorrow when Rush starts speaking.
I want to hear what he had to say.
I want to hear what he has to say about what has happened since he's been away, and also, like many of you, I want to hear what he has to say about um the big event that took place in Russia's life.
I am a Hollywood guy.
The story of how I end up behind the golden EIB microphone is a story unto itself.
I may tell it later on.
But of course, the big story in the whole country right now is the is still the gusher beneath the sea in the Gulf of Mexico.
Now I use the word gusher because a gusher is what we see every place we look.
There's a gusher under the sea, there's a gusher at our borders, there's a gusher in Washington in terms of how they spend the money.
But as a Hollywood uh person, I am particularly struck.
By the way, the n I'm particularly struck by the hypocrites in Hollywood who are no nowhere near to be found to this situation the way they were in Katrina.
By the way, the phone number, if you want to join the conversation, is 1800-282-2882.
You can also go to the website, Rush Limbaugh.com.
I'm a paying member myself.
I'll talk about that in a little while also.
The gulf between Hollywood hypocrites and the oil spill.
There's nobody questioning this.
Very few people, anyway.
Great story in the Daily News the other day where the question was raised, but I haven't seen much more about it ever since.
Sean Penn, down in New Orleans, he cares about New Orleans, no place to be found.
Sean Penn riding in the little golf cart through Haiti, no place to be found.
Brad Pitt down in New Orleans, remember that?
No place to be found.
Um we saw all kinds of activities when it came to Hurricane Katrina.
But that was back in um 2005.
And of course, what was different in 2005, George Bush was president.
So the A listers came out in droves, screaming, criticizing about the man in charge, George W. Bush.
Anything they could do to join to uh draw attention to his what they considered his lack of response, they did.
And Angelina Joe Lee, all over the place.
The thing now is that we have a terrible disaster in the Gulf, and the celebrities are not only absent from the area, most of them are notably even particularly silent.
They could raise money, they're terribly good at raising money, they get a lot of donations when they speak out.
They hold fundraisers, they they create contribution-driven websites, they create hotlines, public service announcements.
I've not seen any of those yet.
They encourage Americans to do all they can do to help, and they could be encouraging Americans right now to do all they could do to help.
They could define what the help is.
Now, it's not just because celebrities don't want the media attention.
You and I know they love the media attention.
Celebrities uh don't want to s accidentally appear that they're not backing their guy, Barack Obama, for the most part.
And yet this guy of theirs, Barack Obama, is smack in the middle of the mess.
Smack in the middle of the mess.
So you would never know from the various award shows around town, the MTV movie awards, the Tony Awards, etc.
You would never know from their red carpet talk, which is normally political if there's a conservative in the White House.
You would never know that this country is being hit by what is being called an environmental disaster.
Arguably the worst in our history.
Because any mention of this disaster by celebrities becomes linked to Barack Obama.
It reminds viewers that the horror of what is happening down in the Gulf involves Barack Obama, who is playing a central role in this story.
So it doesn't take much to stretch your mind to imagine that if this scene was a disaster that was happening under the watch of George W. Bush, you'd see George Clooney.
You'd see him out there walking around, surveying the damage.
He would give nods.
He might have a beard, he might pull on his beard, he might talk with people.
He would talk about the need to move away from what is called fossil fuels.
They would all start talking about that.
In fact, the president talked about that.
In the background, you'd see another celebrity washing off some birds with some dish detergent.
But it's not Bush.
And since it's not Bush, you hear nothing.
Silence.
Silence.
Where are the celebrities?
Call their offices, you'll get no response.
No response at all.
Now, uh, some people are, some people are taking note of this, but not enough, of course.
Do you remember how quick it was when the Hurricane Katrina happened?
How quick it was before Hollywood started blasting Bush.
Of course, they've said nothing about this president and the lag time of his response, the lag time on the leak.
It's not as though the public isn't concerned about the reaction.
Do you know there was a poll?
An ABC News, Washington Post poll conducted last week, conducted on June 3rd, to be fair.
69% of those surveyed in this poll rated the federal response to the to the deep water horizon spill negatively.
Now here's the dirty little secret.
That's a higher percentage than fault of the response in the aftermath of Katrina.
Say it again.
The amount of people who view the federal government's role in this oil disaster, they view the federal government's role with more negativity than they view the federal government's failure in the aftermath of Katrina.
So never mind that.
You have all the celebrities watching their guy Barack Obama.
They've got his back.
They funded his campaign for goodness sakes.
They have a very vested interest in this guy in and supporting his White House.
How else are they going to stay invited to the dinners at the White House?
So uh Obama goes on Larry King.
He says that he's furious.
You've heard the other famous quote Obama has made.
I do not expect celebrities to have any answers about how to plug the hole.
But let's face it, celebrities do have tremendous access to mass communications.
They have access to their passion about issues.
They have the ability to sound the alarm on all kinds of things.
They have the ability to raise money for relief efforts.
And there's a nauseous making part of the story.
They use their talents selectively, based upon political, what is politically convenient for them.
We see it all the time, proving, again, that Hollywood is full of hypocrites.
Hollywood is full of hypocrites.
The regional economy down there in the Gulf is going to be severely impacted by this disaster.
Many, many people are going to be affected.
And yet we have to have a realistic sense of what can be done and what should be done.
Seeing all these mentions of Katrina in comparison to the oil spill, you'll notice in a little while we'll talk about how the president himself has changed the topic, thinking in a very crafty way that he doesn't like the comparisons to Katrina.
I think there's comparisons to the mayor of New Orleans myself.
Let's remember that when it comes to Katrina, the mayor of New Orleans, the governor of Louisiana, every single local official knew that Katrina was coming for days.
And they're the most responsible for the resulting fiasco that happened because of that natural disaster.
Now the liberal mindset will tell you that these are two different situations.
The liberal mindset will tell you that this requires a much more nuanced analysis.
But of course it's not nuanced.
Accidents happen.
And you don't see, by the way, uh shutting down anything else because accidents happen.
You'll notice over the weekend there was talk about drilling in shallower waters and how there's a moratorium on this.
And this may put many, many people out of work, tens of thousands of people out of work.
And yet drilling in shallower waters has the safety valves above the waterline.
And this has all been explained To the president and the administration.
All been explained.
Hollywood liberals.
I would like to see them be consistent in their uh in their display of their compassion, the compassion for animals and other people, not be such hypocrites.
If they truly care about their fellow men and all the animals, then why are they all of a sudden silent when it's Obama who's the one who's displaying the incompetenced in this more nuanced situation?
Read a story about an eruption in the Mediterranean a couple of years ago.
Very, very little publicity about it.
The eruption of oil was contained by pumping the oil and the seawater into super tankers and transporting it to refineries that separated the water from the oil.
We hear nothing like that being discussed right now.
Very little of it.
Obama's done very little to address the seriousness of the situation, other than he throws a lot of meaningless words at the issue tomorrow night, in fact, he's going to speak at the nation, not to the nation, at the nation, from the oval office.
He's not going to take questions.
He's certainly not going to take any tough questions.
Never does.
And yet the words have been meaningless.
They've been thrown at the issue, and they have been meaningless.
Come on, do you think Hollywood would be silent if George Bush was still in office?
Every single one of these Hollywood characters be uh would be on the stage at the most recent awards, and they would have something to say about the alleged oil man, his connections to big oil.
That's what they would have to say.
Now, this crisis you could say it's man-made, maybe not.
Katrina was different.
But there still is a double standard of the elite Hollywood people, and I think Obama is not handling things very well.
I don't want to argue the point, but let me ask you this.
You do have to speculate.
If something like this happened with oil, under the watchful eye of George W. Bush, or even John McCain.
The celebrities would be up in arms.
And yet I would trust the solutions and solving of this type of issue to those two men more than the others.
Now, my name is Doug Rbanski.
I'm filling in today for Rush Limbaugh.
The phone number is 1-800-282-2882.
And we're going to continue more with the Limbaugh show right after this.
It's Douglas Rabansky filling in for Rush Limbaugh on the Russ Limbaugh show.
The phone number is 282-2800-282-2882 if you care to be part of the conversation.
I'm a Hollywood insider, and I'm talking about the hypocrisy we have seen from the lack of Hollywood celebrities who are not out there as they would normally have been out there bashing Bush in a situation like this.
We're also talking about it raises the question of leadership.
You know, you're sort of being conditioned in a way to wake up and focus your anger more towards BP, British Petroleum.
That is the template, that is the narrative.
That is Obama's template as well.
They're doing everything within their power to channel and create ill will of the American people towards these horrible foreigners who run British petroleum.
And yet they still keep bringing up, um they bring up Katrina.
They kill still keep blaming Bush for Katrina.
First of all, the people of New Orleans had a week to either get out of town or to prepare for the worst.
So if you have a week to make a decision and you get negatively effective, whose fault is it?
Well, like everything else, George Bush's fault.
There's a chain of command.
You start with the governor of the state and you work your way down to the mayor.
That's all.
Both of those, by the way, dropped the ball during Katrina.
So during the 9-11 crisis in New York City, Giuliani immediately took the best control he did of the situation.
And he did what he had to do, and boy, oh boy, who can who can even forget Giuliani's leadership?
It radiated off of him, so much so that people said this man who's mayor might be presidential material.
And yet what happened in New Orleans during Katrina?
You had Mayor Negan.
Let's just contrast Mayor Nagan to Giuliani.
Is Barack Obama the mayor Nagan of this oil spill is the question?
So George Clooney, Sean Penn, they're not around.
Also missing, by the way, are war protesters.
They were marching when Bush was president.
There's no protesters now.
Obama's increasing the troop strength in Afghanistan.
They said Iraq would be Bush's Vietnam.
Well now it's looking like Afghanistan will be Barack Obama's Vietnam.
And we learned that Osama bin Laden isn't even in the country.
He's someplace else entirely.
So you've got this disingenuous nature of these celebrities on the left.
Yeah, they're the first people in history who could blame a hurricane on an individual.
They watched, we all watched, it's thousands of indiv of people, didn't leave, didn't evacuate when they should have, and then they condemn Bush because people because people didn't leave.
And yet today, the liberals still believe the government is the answer to everything.
They believe that FEMA is supposed to respond as fast as as fast as your local fire department, round the corner to disasters any place.
And yet it illustrates a complete lack of knowledge on their part because there's still individual responsibility.
There still is that.
So there's this idea that Katrina and the oil spill are somehow similar.
There's this idea that Bush's slow response, which by the way was four days after he saw that the locals weren't doing what they needed to do – And that Barack Obama's slow response 45 days, 50 days in counting.
They're trying to say this is the same thing.
And of course, the distinction is crystal clear.
In the case of Katrina, there were federal laws, that the local and state authorities had to take the lead.
The oil spill, on the other hand, took place in waters, and there is no question that they're federal waters, and there's no question that the federal government was responsible to deal with it from the minute it happened.
Somebody said to me, what do you expect the president to do?
Well, the then why is there such criticism leveled at the president?
It is a president who has campaigned on lowering the seas, who has claim has campaigned and staked his entire political fortunes on the idea that he and the government is the answer to everything.
This is the government that we have just entrusted our health care to, our bodies, our lives.
This is the same government we've just entrusted General Motors to.
That's where we get the idea.
That's what we get the idea that they are responsible, that he is responsible, that he can solve it.
Now, I am indeed a Hollywood person.
I come here today.
It's a very odd story of how I end up behind the golden EIB microphone, filling in for Rush Limbaugh, and I'm very honored to be doing it.
I'm the guest host today, Doug Radsky, 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
The story of how I got here, I'm not going to bore you with it, but it's interesting, it's unusual.
But like you, I have a long association with Rush Limbaugh.
It's an association that I would go as far as describing as a friendship.
Once I became infatuated with conservatism when I was a youngster during the time of Ronald Reagan, it was Rush who picked up the baton.
It was Rush who became the teacher, the leader.
It was Rush who put all of this into perspective.
And it was listening to Rush and learning from Rush that helped clarify my adult thoughts, as it does for so many of you, for so many people.
And like you, each and every day, when it's time for Rush to come on, I want to hear what he has to say.
And I'm not there as a ditto head in the sense that he's telling me what to think.
Because he doesn't.
What he does do is stimulate you to think, and he helps you see things clearly.
And he uses reason and facts and logic to get you all the way there.
I'm a paying member of the Rush Limbaugh 24-7 website.
I'm not paying, I'm hoping that will change after today.
Or they may charge me double, I don't know.
But like you, I was proud when Rush auctioned that letter on eBay.
Remember that letter, the only one in history criticizing free speech from the from the Senate of a private American citizen, the phony soldier issue, when Rush auctioned that letter and gave it all to charity.
When Rush raises his money for charities, like all of you, I have a sense of pride.
And like all of you, when Rush has been faced with various stresses in his life, there are some of us who really prayed hard that it all would go well and have a good ending, because we counted on him and we needed him.
That's my friendship with Rush.
When someone comes into your house every day, into your kitchen, into your breakfast table, into your lunch table, or into your car.
You have an intimate friendship with them.
The speakers do disappear.
And you know the man, and you appreciate the man, and you have an intimacy that is hard to duplicate in anything else.
So that's my friendship with Rush.
Like many of you listening, like many of you listening, you know precisely what I'm talking about.
And when he's not there, boy, oh boy or boy, is there a void.
The happy news on that point is that Rush will be there very soon, in fact, in less than 24 hours.
The Rush Limbaugh Show, guest host, Rush will be back now in under 24 hours.
He will be back here.
The Limbaugh International Time Clocks are set, as well as as mine will be itself.
1-800-282-2882 is the number.
You know, um spooky thing, Barack Obama did.
He compared the oil spill.
It all comes back to the same story.
It's the same story.
You can't get away from it.
Barack Obama has compared the oil spill impact to 9-11.
He has said that there are echoes of 9-11.
He said, um he said in the same way that our view of vulnerabilities and our foreign policy was shaped profoundly like 9-11.
I think this disaster is going to shape how we think about the environment and energy for many years to come.
So, okay, let me get this straight.
He has compared an environmental accident to a terrorist attack.
He has no sense of reality when he does this.
It's a very offensive idea.
Here's the thing.
They're desperate that you not think of this as his Katrina.
They're desperate.
They want to move away.
They want you to think of him, and they're going to do it with words and redefine it, and you'll hear this creep up again and again, this comparison, self-complimenting comparison, that this is his 9-11.
When in fact it's a little bit, it's not even like his own Katrina.
It's a little bit like his um as if he's Jimmy Carter, and this is his hostage crisis.
In his view, in Barack Obama's view, you see, because he so detests free enterprise.
In his view, we were attacked by free enterprise.
That's Barack Obama's view.
He lives it, he says it.
But they must always change the marketing of these matters.
They'll say to you over and over again, there's an anti-incumbent fever out there, and they want you to believe there's an anti-incumbent fever out there.
But in fact, there is no anti-incumbent fever out there.
There is an anti-liberal incumbent fever out there, but they're hoping you're not paying too close attention, and that when you go to vote, you'll just click against the incumbent.
Look, this president looked weak when this whole thing started.
He when it started, he parked the responsibility for it squarely on the back of the British Petroleum, and he immediately distanced the federal government from that responsibility.
Then, switching gears, his advisors realized that this was not playing so well, so they so they start making a lot of tough noises, and they start talking about stepping on people's throats.
And of course, that did not match the mood of the country either.
So weeks and weeks go by, and eventually they say this guy's got to take charge of the situation, and you'll hear about the carping coming from the New York Times, the Washington Post, other so-called liberal places, the carping about the president's conduct, and let me tell you something.
Every one of these people criticizing the president on the left are still giving him the chance to to show leadership.
They're saying it's about time he stepped up to it.
Give him a little more time, it's time.
Bush actually shows leadership.
Giuliani actually shows leadership.
And in Bush's case, they say it's not enough.
Not enough.
Fifty days, fifty plus days.
Got a lot of bluster.
Bluster is no substitute for leadership, as you know.
The president's hope of staying above this fray is another thing that shows that not Evette.
He's now making televised addresses to the nation.
He's going to make threats no doubt, brim with more demands.
They're going to question the legal aspects of the thing, the legal aspects.
And I tell you, tomorrow night he's going to reinforce the impression to you and I that he is still weak.
We need leadership.
And it's the leadership the man has claimed all along that he wanted to have.
Let's go to your calls on the Rush Limbaugh show.
Let's go to Joel in Bloomington.
Joe.
Hey there, Joe.
What what are you thinking, sir?
Well, I think you're making a calculated error here in uh making an attempt to um uh state uh the the positive of the whole Katrina accident.
Um let's not forget that there were approximately five thousand buses sitting waiting to evacuate people that they didn't have buses, they didn't have drivers to evacuate.
Let's point out the fact that FEMA's director who was appointed by the Bush administration resigned approximately a week after Katrina occurred because of the incompetency of FEMA.
Um I think all in all, what we need to look at here, it's not the Bush administration's fault, it's not a Obama administration, it's bureaucracy and government as a whole's fault.
Well, Joe Joe, you're right on this.
Joel, you're right on that point.
But I do want to point out to you the only reason Katrina comes up in the equation is because the left initially started bringing it up.
Well, I I don't even think you you you were talking about nine eleven.
Um how many I was I was also talking about the fact that celebrities I was really talking about I was here talking about celebrities and the hypocrisy they have shown because of how they marched criticizing Bush over Katrina, and yet how absent they are in this situation.
Well, I I think I think you're looking at a situation that you know you you're looking at an oil spill as opposed to a natural disaster what that we were knew was coming and knew we could be prepared for, and that's why I think and and you know you you want you want to talk about this oil spill.
It's just as much the Bush administration's fault as it is the Obama administration.
Yes, it is no question, it was all George Bush's fault.
No question about it, isn't it?
You know I have a theory, Joel, that when the when they sent Bill Clinton to go to go all for a job to Sestack, that in fact they didn't send Bill Clinton.
They sent George Bush in a Bill Clinton disguise.
It's all Bush's fault.
Thank you, Joel, for calling the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Amazing.
Sue in Fresno, California, welcome to the Russ Limbaugh Show.
Yes, hi.
Thank you for taking this call.
Yes, I uh totally agree with you on the celebrities, and I get tired of their causes and their uh way of uh uh handling things, but um I have to say one thing for them.
They have that powerful movie industry where they make massive amounts of money, and they have funds available to promote the causes that they think are important.
And uh as conservatives, which I'm a part of, um I feel very um sad that we don't have a way to uh financially support the things that we are in favor of, such as controlling our borders and and that, and that we need to be able to raise massive amounts of money as well and possibly take the initiative rather than to rely on the government to do it.
Um I would like to be a part of something like that, where we uh uh c control our borders ourselves if the government's not going to do it.
But it takes money to to do that, and how do we raise the money for that?
Sue, let me throw something at you.
Because we see it in the let's use the courts as an example.
The courts are places where we see activist leftist judges, and they're there for the reason that you and I know, which is to institutionalize forever, making it almost impossible to repeal this march to the left.
I've made the argument for a long time that us as conservatives need to be less passive, pacifists, not passive like peacenicks.
I mean passive pacifists.
We need to be activists for conservatism.
This is of course what the Tea Parties represent, what you and I represent as well.
But it is it is just starting to become organized.
And as we see this bulldozer of liberalism, the steamroller, roll over things that you and I don't want.
And the American people, by huge numbers don't want, rolling against free enterprise.
Um we do need, I agree with you entirely, Sue.
Do you agree with me that that's what we need to do, that we're too passivist in our approach?
I believe we are, and uh that's the nature of conservatism.
I think it's time that this movement gets uh a hold and starts really moving because uh we're all learning as we go uh how awful this administration is, and I do thank all of you for presenting the information you have.
I'm learning a lot each day.
I'm a first-time caller, and just keep up the good work.
Oh, Sue, thank you so much for calling the Rush Limbaugh show and speaking to a guest host who's not named Mark or Walter.
Thank you very much.
Douglas Rbanski filling in for Rush Limbaugh, 1-800-282-2882 is the number.
We'll be right back.
On the Rush Limbaugh show, it's Douglas Rabansky.
We're talking about Barack Obama's uh truly bizarre uh comparison of the British petroleum oil spill and 9-11.
He made the comparison because they don't want you ginning yourselves up using the word Katrina over and over again.
And by the way, British Petroleum is apparently in a big d internal debate about whether they should be giving dividends.
And I want to remind you, every time you hear the word dividends, who the owners of these companies are.
The owners of these companies are you.
They're you.
You're the shareholders.
They're widows, they're retirees.
A huge chunk of British petroleum shares are owned by pension funds, and they invested considering it a safe bet.
Like they do Shell or Exxon.
Eighteen million people have pension fund shares here in America and also in Britain, and they rely partially on BP and will have their retirement funds badly hit if Obama forces b BP into um possible bankruptcy.
If you force an BP, if you force them, by the way, to cordon off huge amounts of this money and not give their dividends while they're still spending billions to try and stop the flow of oil, you may deliberately cause their bankruptcy.
That would cause a loss, I'm told, of about 20,000 American jobs.
It would lead to the acquisition of most of BP's technology and infrastructure by probably a Chinese company, probably buy it.
So it's better to let BP uh divide up the money, maybe over a long period of time.
That means everyone gets their compensation, the oil spill gets fixed, 20,000 people keep their jobs, 18 million people's pension funds will recover.
You think Obama will that route?
He needs to be very careful with British Petroleum.
So far they're cooperating, trying to clean up the mess, but think of this for a moment.
Think of a world where he might push them around too much.
And if they got mad, and they decided that they that they wanted to suspend the cleanup operations and take the matter to court.
Let the courts determine their liability.
You do you do not know the outcome of such a story?
Sure, BP may owe reparations to fisheries.
Anyone who's affected by the disaster.
But Obama is talking about a fight.
A fight when right now what we need is cooperation solutions.
Fifty days.
Fifty days before he found out there was a board and a president and a chairman of BP.
Fifty days before apparently anyone in the administration didn't even look up on Google the words oil booms to find out where there might be miles of booms waiting offshore someplace, laying idle.
Fifty days.
You still can't bring in foreign ships that apparently are capable of cleaning up lots of oil.
You have to wonder if there's a union influence to that.
How long did Obama wait before he met the general in charge of Afghanistan?
It was months, wasn't it?
It was months.
How long did Obama prepare uh before he went to Europe to get Chicago the Olympics?
Oh, we got that's right.
They be they came in last place.
I will tell you who's happy in this story.
There is someone very happy in this story.
Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter is absolutely pleased, pleased as punched to find out that he is now second place as the worst president of all time.
Back to your calls.
In Seattle, Washington, happy.
You have a comment on the Limbaugh show.
Yes, Douglas.
thank you.
Uh I concur with everything you said.
I think you deserve an A plus, and I asked Rush to double your wages for substituting.
But uh, you know, I've built bridges and high rises in my career, and now I'm a paralegal.
And I can't believe that we're fighting BP when they're willing to put up money.
You know, let's get the le the whole gusher stopped, and then let's work together.
Let's work together until it's stopped.
Let's not talk about litigation.
Let's work together and and join hands and stop the gusher, then we'll worry about who to blame.
What they're doing now, like just like you've been saying, they're passing the buck.
And I think for seven seconds, Barack Obama said, I the buck stops here.
Happy seven seconds.
Happy, aren't you uh sort of fascinated as I've been in the past couple of days by the amount of things we've seen on television, the different methods that could have been used that are not being employed to uh to clean up this oil.
Have you have you seen some of this stuff?
Absolutely, and I I'm just in amazement, like you said, the Hollywood, the far left, the war protesters with all our troop involvement with Obama.
I just can't believe the hypocrisy.
Yeah.
So uh I think he is the worst president in the history of America.
So you would concur with me that Jimmy Carter is very happy man today.
Happy man should be second.
Now I must admit I I too am born again, and President Carter did say that he was born again in Christ.
Well, an important factor that the media has not been talking about.
Multi-billionaire Ted Turner has saying that God is even mad at Obama.
Yeah, well, the thing about Ted Turner is this.
He is walking proof positive.
Always remember this, that just because you're rich doesn't mean you're smart.
Thank you so much, Happy, for calling the Rush Limbaugh Show.
It's Douglas Rabansky filling in for Rush Limbaugh.
We'll be right back.
It's the Rush Limbaugh Show.
1-800-282-2882 is the number.
Rush Limbaugh Show, Rush Limbaugh.com.
Go.
Sign up.
I'm a member.
I look forward to getting my hard copy of the Limbaugh letter in the mail.
It's hilario first off, it's hilarious.
The pictures on it are hilarious.
The content is hilarious, and the content is incredibly informative.
We're reading all about how the federal government is studying bailing out journalism.
Meaning that they want it to be truly the thing Rush refers to all the time, state-run media.
Truly, truly state-run media.
I have said for ages, I'll say it again.
If you're not listening to talk radio, and if you're not on the internet, you don't know what's going on because you're not going to get it in what they call journalism.
The old fashioned journalism is not going to do it.
We're talking about Barack Obama and the comparison of 9-11.
And how over his head this guy appears in almost every aspect of his presidency.
He's down in the polls, of course.
He thinks this if he calls it his nine eleven, the people are going to rally around him.
You know, that's a that's the idea.
They use the words 9-11 to deflect attention from the real comparisons, which is which is really Jimmy Carter in the hostage crisis.
Okay, Katrina, you could call it that.
But does he have no shame?
Remember this, there was a time when the Democrats were actually jealous that 9 11 people hinted at this didn't happen under Bill Clinton's watch.
People actually hinted at such a thing.
Because they thought it could have defined Clinton's presidency.
And of course, the thing that defined his presidency was address, the details of which we will not go into.
Outrageous to compare 9-11 to the oil spill.
More proof that this guy is out of touch with the U and I, out of touch with the USA, out of touch with the rest of the world.
This guy should really think uh two or three times before he speaks.
Now the countdown here continues on Limbaugh International Time at the EIB network.
In just over twenty-three hours, the voice you've been waiting for will be back behind the golden EIB microphone, and the void that you have felt that I have felt will be filled.
One has a sense that there's a great cave someplace where the lion dwells, and the lion has not been around.
He's not roared.
I cannot wait, as I'm sure you cannot wait for what Rush has to say when he returns here tomorrow.
And then, of course, we want to hear all the news about the big event in his life, which I'm hoping he imparts.
Much more coming up in the Rush Limbo show for Doug Douglas Rabansky filling in for Rush.
