Time Text
If they bill that mosque, a Cordoba Center, uh ground zero, why not have the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed there?
I mean, that's even more outreach.
Pick the jurors from the uh congregants.
Hi, folks, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network and the distinguished prestigious Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you on the program.
Telephone number 800 282-2882, the email address L. Rushboard at EIBNet.com.
As usual.
A paper in the UK has taken the time to report on what's really going on in America in the summer of recovery here in Obamaville.
Now, this is a story from the UK Guardian, which is a leftist rag.
The headline, Jobless Millions, signal death of the American dream for many.
Even the criminals have fallen on hard times in America's poorest city, as the long-term unemployed struggle to keep a grasp on normality or normalcy.
Now, this is bad.
There's nothing even worth stealing.
That's why it's hard on the criminals.
This piece very graphically describes who people are what people are really feeling, and it's uh I I don't think the Democrats have the slightest idea what's going to happen to them in November.
There's a companion story to this from the uh New York Times, Jeff Zelony, published on August 14th.
Voter anger, no surprise to Democrats this time.
Uh this is about a contrast to 1994, when nobody except Bob Novak and I expected the Republicans to take back the House that year.
Nobody.
It was a total shock.
I remember I was watching Charlie Rose one night back when I still did that.
And one of his guests on there was Tony Cuello.
And it was all about uh Newton the boys, a contract for America, Newt becoming speaker.
Tony Coello said Newt's never gonna be a speaker.
He may want to be a speaker, but Newt's never gonna be speaker.
A few weeks later, Newt was speaker.
Big shock, big surprise.
Now, this piece of Jeff Zellow in the New York Times is meant to comfort the Democrats.
Ah, can't possibly be that bad because you guys know what you're headed for.
You guys are not going to be shocked.
A year ago, dozens of protesters gathered outside the district office of Representative Ike Skelton, a Missouri Democrat, who has represented a wide stretch of Western Missouri since 1976.
The anger they directed at health care legislation by extension most congressional Democrats left the party in a state of near panic.
It may in retrospect have been the best thing that could have happened to Mr. Skelton and his colleagues.
You see where this is going.
Oh yeah, the Democrats, they know how mad everybody is.
That said that they're going to be allowed to prepare for it.
Now they're ready for you.
They know how mad you are.
They can't possibly be surprised.
Here's a pull quote that basically sums up the Jeff Zalony story, New York Times, in the arsenal of advantages that Republicans hold as they seek to win control of Congress.
One thing is missing in the Republican arsenal, the element of surprise.
Unlike 1994, when Republicans shocked Democrats by capturing dozens of seats held by complacent incumbents, there will be no sneak attacks this year.
Democrats have sensed trouble for more than a year, with the unrest from town hall-style meetings last August providing indisputable evidence for any disbelievers.
So Jeff Zellany writing a point don't worry about it, Democrats.
You know it's coming.
Therefore, it can't possibly sneak up on you.
Can't possibly be bad.
Now we go back to the UK Guardian Peace, Jobless Millions signal death of the American dream for many.
When you go through this story, which Accurately in a UK paper doing it again.
Accurately graphically describing economic circumstances for millions of Americans.
You would understand why Democrats have no idea how surprised they might be in November, despite Jeff Zelney's peace.
And the reason is that the Democrats only know what's in the state control media.
Democrats only know.
For example, who was it that clown out in California who didn't know um what was the come on mind?
What was the controversy?
He didn't know something because he'd never what the media he reads hadn't reported on it.
And yet all of us knew about it.
I can't remember what it was.
It's on the uh Yeah, but but what was the story?
Bob Schiefer was a guy.
Oh, yeah, Newton, new Black Panther Party, New Black Panther Party.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They did not know that the Justice Department had dropped charges against New Black Panther Party because we're not going to have black defendants.
And uh Brad Sherman was a California Democrat, Bob Schiefer.
I didn't know anything about that.
I hadn't heard about that.
We didn't know about it.
I was on vacation.
If I'd have known about it, I'd have reported it.
Well, your staff went on a vacation and they not tell you about it.
So they only know what's in their media.
They therefore are not gonna know what most of you think and what most of you are going through.
Because our media is not telling us these stories.
Here's one from the UK Guardian.
Richard Gaines is one of the best known faces in Camden, New Jersey's Haddon Avenue.
Camden, New Jersey, by the way, is the city here described as America's poorest city where even the criminals have fallen on hard times because there's nothing there worth stealing.
Richard Gaines, one of the best known faces on Camden's Haddon Avenue.
It's a rough and tumble street, lined with cheap businesses, boarded up houses, prey to drug gangs.
Gaines 50, runs a barber shop, a hair salon, and a fitness business.
He works hard.
He's committed to his community, but Haddon Avenue is not an easy place to make a living in the best of times.
And these are far from the best of times.
Just how badly the Great Recession has struck this fragile New Jersey city, which is currently the poorest in America, was recently spelled out to Gaines.
In happier times, local businesses on Haddon Avenue could at least rely on a bit of trade from those who made their money on the street.
Young men bought flashy clothes and got sharp haircuts and always paid in cash, but none anymore.
The economy is now so bad in Camden that even the criminals are struggling and going short.
Even the guys who got money from illegal means really don't want to spend it, Gaines says.
American corporations hoarding their cash.
America's gangs are as well.
Bling sale is down.
Oh yeah.
Bling sale way down.
Arms purchases way down.
Arms purchases, arms theft, and nothing worth stealing in there.
Now Camden, New Jersey in the 1920s, was known as the citadel of Republicanism.
The decline of the Republican Party in Camden overlapped the decline of manufacturing.
Camden became a Democrat town and voila.
Which is the case.
You go to whatever states in trouble, whatever cities in trouble, uh you'll find you haven't had a Republican governor or mayor in generations.
Or at least three decades.
So here's a story.
It's so bad in Camden that even the criminal element is struggling.
And we're trying this the pizza is trying to uh uh arouse some sympathy for even the criminal element.
Well, the criminals might need a bailout.
Cash for criminal.
I mean, if that's how the city's gotten by, if the criminal element has been what's propelled Haddon Avenue, don't you have to bail out the gangs?
Such a development, though, is just a snapshot of the deep problems still hitting the wider American economy.
When's the last time in any media you saw a story on Camden, New Jersey?
Growth rates are stuttering and the recovery is struggling to take hold.
It may even now be showing signs of going backwards again.
As countries such as Germany start to power forward, German jobs creation is up.
Joblessness has taken hold in America with the numbers of long-term unemployed reaching levels not seen since the 30s.
The only reason the unemployment rate's under 10% is because a million and a half people have gone off the rolls, no longer looking for work.
The real unemployment rate in this country is about 14 and a half, 15%.
Democrats don't know that.
No, John Kerry's not buying $7 million yachts, Chelsea Clinton's $30 million wedding, $4 million wedding, whatever it is.
Al Gorali's seaside houses.
How bad can it be if Democrat losers are making out well?
America appears to be a society splitting down the center, shattering the middle class that long formed the cultural bedrock of the country, dividing it into a country of habs and have nots.
A once unthinkable level of economic distress is in the process of becoming the new normal, writes Paul Krugman, New York Times.
Ah, here we go.
New normal again.
Which means you are to give up.
New normal, this is the best it gets, folks.
The best it gets, and we're going to call it because we can't blame Obama for any of this.
So just like we define deviancy down where certain crimes are not crime, they're just normal now.
Okay, Obama is economics defined down.
A rotten economy is the new normal.
And Obama's doing the best he can.
Stephen Green, economics lecturer, Baylor University said we are really in a tough spot right now.
Well, how do how wrote this piece?
Paul Harris.
Wonder how long it took him to find that quote.
How hard did he have to search to find an economist who would say we're really in a tough spot right now?
He had to go all the way to Baylor.
That's in Texas, folks.
The guy in the UK had to go all the way to Baylor to find that quote.
This is why Democrats do not know what's going to happen to them.
There's a new name for those falling down the black hole of joblessness that has opened up in America's economy.
They are the 99ers.
It is a moniker that no one wants.
It refers to the 99 weeks of benefits the jobless can qualify for in America.
For many, that moment, which America's politicians have refused to extend, represents the moment of destitution.
When your 99 weeks is up, hello, new normal.
Who are these people, though?
The Guardian wants to know.
Despite Republican attempts to paint them as feckless or job shy, they're usually anything but the 99ers are people like Anne Strauss, 58, who spent 35 years working as a public relations professional on Long Island.
Despite spending every day hunting for work, she has not had a job since June of 2008.
She and her husband are now living on credit cards, watching debts mount as they stare into the abyss.
Looking for a job is the hardest I have ever worked, she said with a smile that conveyed no humor or happiness, only the deep stress that is common to many 99ers.
So this is just one of many stories in this story in this piece.
And uh UK papers taking the time to find out about these people, who they are.
And this is why the Democrats do not know.
No matter how much Jeff Zevley tries to tell them, no, you can't be surprised, Democrats.
You know what's coming this year.
Therefore you can make it not as bad as it was.
They have no clue what's coming.
Their media does not tell them.
Back after this.
By the way, I left something out that's very important and also very funny.
The reason the UK Guardian did this story on the 99ers, and about the out-of-luck criminals in Camden, New Jersey, is because Debbie Stabenow and other Democrats have introduced a bill to give The 99ers another 20 weeks of unemployment benefits, so that they won't be 99ers anymore.
It's called the and I get this.
The Americans want to work act.
Senate Bill 3706.
The Americans Want to Work Act extends 99 weeks of unemployment benefits by 20 more weeks.
The Americans Wanna Work Act is an extension of unemployment benefits for 20 weeks.
Introduced by Debbie Stabb and other Democrats.
Oh, and they announced it on MSNBC, which is why you don't know about it.
But it's why the UK Guardian does know about it.
The bill is co-sponsored by Are You Ready?
Senators Chuck Hugh Schumer, Harry Reed, Dick Turbin, Carl Levin, Bob Casey, Christopher Dodd, Sharon Brown, Jack Reed, and Sheldon White House.
The Americans Wanna Work Act.
Extending on it.
Extending on it.
This has been one of these days.
And you need these days.
We just laugh at these people.
Back to the phones.
Where are we going next?
New Orleans.
David, welcome to the uh Rush Limbaugh program.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush.
Uh oil is uh dittoes from New Orleans.
Thank you very much, sir.
Uh Michelle Obama reminds me a lot less of Marie Antoinette, who was totally clueless about the suffering of the people of France.
Uh she reminds me a lot more of Ava Peron, who now who knew how to cover herself while she spent her country blind.
Ava Perone, if you recall, does the foundation Ava Perone ring a bell to you?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Uh Madonna.
Right.
There was like a foundation that uh Perone set up uh for to help the poor people over Argentina while she proceeded to live a life of luxury on that time.
Right, exactly.
She and Juan Perone made out like bandits.
Yeah, I'm thinking of Michelle uh Perone Obama.
And just one more thing, too, Rush.
If we have full disclosure, if the liberals want full disclosure of campaign contributions from corporate contributors, those are the same people who say we should have no disclosure from mosque contributors.
I find that to be really uh hypocritical.
Well, hypocritical is what they are.
Good catch out there, David.
I appreciate it.
Shaker Heights, Ohio.
Jim, welcome to the EIB network.
Uh Diddles Russ, thanks for taking my call.
You bet, sir.
Um we're all ambiguous about the ground zero mosque because I think we don't really understand the duality of the teaching of Muhammad.
Wait, who is ambiguous?
Um, all of us who think that freedom of religion is important, but nevertheless think that the ground zero mosque is a disaster.
Well, that's not ambiguity.
Well, that's certitude.
Uh okay.
Um let me make my point about the duality of his teaching.
All right.
It is a religion, a faith which essentially believes in one God, the creator of the universe.
Right.
But it is also a scheme for world conquest that says that its followers must kill anyone who does not believe in, pray to, and praise God exactly as Muhammad taught.
And if two teachers read it differently, then the followers of each are to convert or kill the followers of the other.
But that's the caliphate that we that this mosque is hiding.
I have a mental image of uh the caliphate hiding behind this freedom of religion.
Now, I'm saying I know I'm stating what everybody sub subliminally subliminal knows, but it seems to me that we need to keep it in our forefront.
There are two parts to Muhammad.
The part that's religious we can accept, but the part that is the caliphate we must struggle against.
We must fight, we must kill it.
Well, what are people supposed to do?
Because the president talks about the uh what the moderate Muslims that don't believe that.
Well oh no, they do.
That's the essence of Mohammedanism.
So they do believe that that the caliphate should be uh enforced.
They just well, suppose there are those who are Muslim who who don't believe in the caliphate.
Okay, so the caliphate is hiding behind them.
Right.
It's all okay.
What you're saying is that the reason people think that it's a good idea to do this because it's outreach, really don't know what they're doing.
That's what you mean by they just they're just ignorant of um the caliphate.
That's right.
They don't see my metaphor would be they don't see the man with an AK 47 hiding behind the burqa.
The burqa makes people think, oh, I can't shoot a woman, but the guy with the K 47 behind her is a deadly threat.
That metaphor make sense.
Yeah, it does.
I think what people um people don't want to believe this kind of thing.
Islam is a theocracy.
It's it's um it's a form of government in a way.
Uh but it's it it it's it's it's a a religion.
And it but there's there's not another religion like it in the modern world.
Well, yeah, that's my point.
That it is a religion, but hidden behind the religion is a caliphate that wants to conquer and conquest.
Right.
And I can accept a Muslim who prays to God to get down on his knees and and he has women in the other room.
I can accept that, but I don't accept the guy with a gun hiding behind that.
So the mosque in in ground zero could be an honest place, but we must reject it because it is hiding uh more than we notice.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
You're you're you are expressing a uh very clearly what you believe.
All right.
So we've got to defeat the the ground zero mosque with a clear conscience about religious freedom.
Well, I think there's that that aspect is uh clear, but I think there are also some and I'm not trying to diminish what you've said by the stretch of the imagination, but there are other people whose instincts on this are right, they just don't know why, but they're interested.
Something about this doesn't make any sense, especially when you learn that the Greek Orthodox people are not being allowed to build their church, rebuild it there.
And you can't put a nativity scene anywhere.
Something here just doesn't jive.
We're playing bumpers, I don't even remember.
Telephone number 800-282-2882, also from the Nueva Ork Times.
Some states are lacking in health law authority.
They have no idea what's in this law and who has the authority to carry it out.
They don't know anything.
This is gonna be this is gonna be the biggest boondoggle of all of boondoggles that have ever been boondoggled.
Faced with the need to review insurance rates and enforce a panoply of new rights granted to consumers.
States are scrambling to make sure they have the necessary legal authority to carry out the responsibilities being placed on them by Bacare.
Insurance commissioners in about half the state say they don't have clear authority to enforce consumer protection standards that take effect next month.
You remember when this thing was signed?
People show up at the doctor the next day, where my health care.
Uh what?
I want an MRI, I want my mastectomy.
I want my I want my uh my paper.
Well, I want it free.
Why?
Well, Obama signed health care, it's free now.
Uh no.
It isn't.
No.
Well, when will it be?
Well, we haven't been told.
We don't know.
Uh if you want that procedure, let me see your insurance card.
I don't have insurance.
That's the whole point I was told I don't need it anymore.
No, no, no.
You're gonna have to buy insurance.
But it's not gonna be free.
You're gonna have to.
Well, will you call me when it's free?
And then they leave.
Insurance commissioners in about half the state say they don't have clear authority to enforce consumer protection standards that take effect next month.
Federal and state officials are searching for ways to plug the gap.
Otherwise, they say the ability of consumers to secure the benefits of the new law could vary widely depending on where they live and what political party they're of.
And if you doubt me on that, let me find something here.
There's a guy down in Texas, his name was Fred Barron.
Does that name ring a bell?
It ought to ring a bell.
Fred Barron is one of the guys that paid John Edwards to run around and do what he was doing with Riley Hunter and Rael Hunter, whatever her name is.
The fellow tort lawyer, here it is.
Fellow tort lawyer, Fred Barron.
This story is uh is in the Dallas Morning News.
Dallas's top Democrat donors will cut big checks to share dinner later this month with Nancy Pelosi.
Most will be motivated by a desire to protect the party's congressional majority.
Lisa Blue will have an extra reason to say thanks for Pelosi's efforts when her husband Fred Barron was dying of bone marrow cancer.
His only option was an experimental drug whose manufacturer refused to give permission to use it for Barron's condition.
Fred was a big fan of Pelosi's, and now I am as well, said Lisa Blue.
Fred Barron, the king of toxic torts, built a fortune suing on behalf of asbestos victims.
He died the week before election day 2008 at age 61, a prolific Democrat fundraiser.
He served as finance chief that year for his friend John Edwards, who also made his fortune in court.
Barron later acknowledged funneling large sums to Edward's mistress.
A scandal that gave ammo to those who already despise trial lawyers.
But to Blue, first and foremost, Barron was a husband.
The tale that she tells of his final weeks is not so different than any widow might tell, except, of course, that the couple had friends in especially high places, friends like Pelosi, who will headline the August 24th dinner to raise cash for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee.
In 2002, stick with me on this, folks.
Hang in there.
2002, Fred Barron was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.
By October 2008, his doctors at the Mayo Clinic were telling him he had just days to live.
They also offered a glimmer of hope.
Over the years, the couple had donated about a million dollars to Mayo.
The staff was especially diligent.
They tested an arsenal of drugs and finally discovered that Barron's cancer responded surprisingly well in the lab to a drug called Tisabri.
Or Tisebri.
Mayo had an ample supply, but the drug was and still is approved only for treatment of multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease.
The manufacturer refused to give permission, even under special compassionate use rules that protect a drug maker from a black market in case of an adverse outcome.
So what happened?
Lisa Blue and Fred Barron went everywhere.
They went to the manufacturer.
They went to the FDA.
They went everywhere they could to get a waiver so he could use this drug.
Everywhere he went was denied.
Pelosi got it done.
Hello death panels.
Pelosi got it done.
Pelosi somehow found a way to get this drug into the hands of Lisa Blue and Fred Barron under doctors.
So when I say federal and state officials are searching for ways to plug the gap, otherwise they say the ability of consumers to secure the benefits of the new law could vary widely depending on where they live and who they know and what their political party is.
Fred Barron, big fundraiser, big tort lawyer, big partner John Edwards, da-da-da-da-da, got a drug approved somehow, some way by Nancy Pelosi that nobody else could get approved.
It didn't work.
That's the end of the story.
It extended his life two or three days or four days, I'm told, but didn't it still?
Um here's a case where political connections got something, political connections and money got something done.
And those of us, oh, ladies and gentlemen, back when this whole rigor was being discussed and debated.
We are sitting here making jokes.
You know, I wonder how many people are going to change party, become Democrats here to get favorable speedy treatment from these health panels.
There you go.
So this New York Times story, this is by Robert Perrin Kevin Sack.
States have no clue how to enforce anything in the health care bill.
Here's a quote.
States are also waiting for the Federal Department of Health and Human Services To define unreasonable rate increases.
Ms. Prager said that's a big question.
Unreasonable is a rather nebulous term.
You go look.
I'm going to have one of my staff researchers.
We've got that whole health care bill.
We've got that abomination.
We've got all 2,000 whatever pay.
I'm going to do a word search on unreasonable.
I want to find out how many times unreasonable is in that bill.
Because unreasonable, she's Ms. Prager here is right.
States are waiting for the Department of Health and Human Services to define unreasonable rate increases in administering or policing or regulating insurance companies.
And in this health care bill, as the Secretary shall determine is a phrase that's also in it.
Meaning the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
As the Secretary may determine, reasonable or unreasonable rate increases as the Secretary, so it's totally up to her discretion.
In this case, the billions.
So nobody knows what the law means.
There are elements of it that get implemented next month, and nobody knows what it means.
Now for Fred Barron to get that drug that was not approved for use in a cancer patient, it had to be taken from somebody who was using it for approved purposes.
Other people might have been put at risk, so that the big Democrat lawyer, and most Democrats are lawyers, by the way.
Anyway, for him to get the drug, somebody had to matter.
One month from today, September 16th, something good to happen in Washington.
On that day, September 16th, and on September 17th as well.
In DC, a massive celebration of the U.S. Constitution.
The 17th is actually called Constitution Day.
That's the day in our history that the delegates of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 got themselves together and signed it.
That's when the Constitution was signed.
That document that has guided our country for all of these years.
So fast forward to this year.
This two-day event, September 16th and 17, and our nation's capital is being dubbed Constitution Day Celebration.
It's already sold out a month in advance.
It's a seminar.
There's a couple days of teaching, explanations, debates, thought-provoking commentary.
George Will's going to be there, Michael Barone will be there, Dr. Larry Arne, the president of Hillsdale College will be there, a whole lot of leading constitutional scholars from stellar think tanks.
And their whole mission is to give the Constitution and the people who authored it the respect they deserve and revive its relevance in today's world.
There's not a better year than this one to do that.
Even though it's sold out, you'd still be able to go.
Yes.
You'll be able to watch it free, online, thanks to Hillsdale College.
This is what they believe.
There's bread and butter.
The Constitution's the foundation for everything they teach.
Hillsdale's the college has been pursuing truths, defending liberty for nearly 170 years.
All you have to do is register to take this in, and you can do it free.
Just go to Rushforhillsdale.com, same website that I've been urging you to use to sign up for in primus, which is their monthly compendium of speeches.
This could be a turning point.
Imagine hundreds of thousands of people watching this over the course of these two days.
Register online, rush for Hillsdale.com is the web address, and you will be emailed all the instructions for how to log on and participate from your home or wherever.
For the great constitutional convention, September 16th and 17th in Washington.
Alright, we did our word search.
Unreasonable shows up five times.
I was kind of surprised it's that few.
Unreasonable shows up five times in the final Senate version of Obamacare, but the word reasonable shows up 56 times.
And reasonable is just as nebulous as unreasonable.
I love when I negotiate a contract.
I love trying to sneak in the word reasonable.
Because it doesn't settle anything.
It doesn't solve Diddley's Squat.
And I love trying it just to see if anybody will catch it.
Because most people fall hook line and sinker for the word reasonable.
Because they think it's, well, yeah, well, that makes sense.
Reasonable is what makes sense.
But for example, what makes sense to Obama is not the same thing as what makes sense to us.
What's reasonable to him is insane to us.
Speaking of insane, LA Times on August 13th, last Friday had a story.
More college students mentally ill.
A number of college students with severe mental illness, including those on psychiatric medications, is rising.
This was, according to data presented last Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in San Diego.
If you have a uh child, son or daughter in college, and are going to be wondering if your student is mentally ill.
Don't worry about it.
This is just the American Psychological Association trolling for more patients.
And many parents could be easily made to believe their kids are insane or mentally ill temporarily.
So it's all it is.
I wouldn't sweat it.
College can do that to anybody.
Here's uh who where are we going?
Nobody's uh denoted here.
Michael in Olympia Washington.
Welcome, sir.
EIB Network El Rushbow.
Hi.
Thank you so much, Rush, for taking my call and you, Snarly.
You bet.
I got two observations for you.
The first one is every time we see Barack and Michelle out in public, they're always eating ice cream.
And I'm kind of curious what kind of message is that sending to her overweight.
You know, I just saw a picture of Moochell eating a huge cup of ice cream down there on their vacation.
And I'm thinking, and one of her daughters was too, and and Barack was licking up one of those cups.
And I'm thinking, do these people have no awareness they're out there on this big obesity push?
And here's Muchell lapping up a bunch of ice cream.
Probably it was Ben and Jerry, so it's a political move.
What's your second observation?
Second observation is building a mosque in downtown New York is just going to be a recruiting place.
And if we can't uh get a grasp on what's happening in Europe with all the protests that the Muslims are doing over there because the rights aren't being met.
What kind of place is downtown New York going to be for the same thing?
Well, now that is that is an interesting point.
Uh because the UK, the French, I mean, they've in fact the French are trying to walk back all of their openness, the Sarkozy clamping down on immigration.
UK's lost the that's that's actually a pretty good point.
Now I can't jip it.
But Mayor Bloomberg, mere moments ago, reacted to Obama's comments on the mosque.
The thing is, I don't know which Obama comments that Bloomberg is reacting, because he said three things.
The first thing he said was build the mosque.
The next thing he said was, no, I didn't say build the mosque.
I said they have a right to.
Then he walked up.
Yo said build the mosque.
And then uh Burton said, This is a local issue.
We're not getting involved in a local issue.
So we don't know what statement Obama made that Bloomberg was reacting to.
But uh cookies on the case rolling on all the video sources will have the audio for you tomorrow.
Whatever it was that uh that Bloomberg said.
Got to take a brief time out here.
We'll come back and wrap it up right after this.
Sit tight.
Uh, ladies and gentlemen, the invaluable Aaron Einhorn at the New York Daily News reporting that Mayor Bloomberg is not worried about Obama's nuanced stance on the mosque near ground zero.
Nuanced.
Nuanced.
It wasn't new, it wasn't even Clintonian.
It was just muddy.
Totally muddy.
Anyway, uh Facebook.com slash Rush Limbaugh.
We are at 385,000 good buddies up there.
You can see wedding photos.
They're really nice pictures, too.
We uh decided to release them and register for seven more iPads.
Top of the line to be given away between now and August 30th.
See you tomorrow, my friends.
Cheerio Adios.
