Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
I have a message for Scott Brown here.
Just a second, the um Senator from Massachusetts.
By the way, folks, I'm coming down with a bit of a head cold today.
Every time I give up tobacco products, it happens.
When I'm smoking cigars, I never ever got a cold.
I got the flu sometimes, but I never ever got a cold.
I could feel it.
I could feel it in the upper bronchial tract last night.
I woke up to the bed sore throat.
Now I sound a little hoarse and coldy to me.
It won't sound that way to you because of the magic of uh of compression of the broadcast.
What?
I do sound a little hoarse.
Well, but they those people listening on the radio will not know it because of the magic of compression.
Uh anyway, we're here 800 282-2882 is the number and the email address L Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
Did you see 950,000?
Christine O'Donnell started the day yesterday with what 50.
She started the day with $50,000 yesterday.
Uh right before the broadcast started today, she's at 950,000 in internet website donations.
She gonna go over uh she's gonna go over a million dollars today, probably the next couple of minutes or so.
You know, it it was fascinating.
I just you know the this was uh started yesterday when the uh NR the Republican Senatorial Committee, the news was out that they were gonna support her, she was on her own.
I said, okay, fine.
Uh everybody in this audience has sent her a dollar.
Yeah, that's all I said.
And you couldn't get on the website for a while.
We crashed it, couldn't get in.
$950,000.
Rasmussen has her down 11.
I thought she was down 25.
I thought she couldn't win.
She's down 11 points.
Now you given the vicious attacks on O'Donnell by the partisan political operatives in the media and the partisan political operatives on the Republican Party side.
Uh, and given the supposedly overwhelming liberal mindset of Delaware voters, how is it possible Christine O'Donnell is this close.
She's only 11 points down.
I'm gonna tell you what the campaign against her is gonna be.
I can tell you right now, I'll get to it in just a second.
I know exactly what they're gonna do.
I I just I know these people because I know their playbook.
Look at me as a defensive coordinator of the conservative movement.
I know exactly what these clowns are gonna do.
I know how to game plan for them.
Oh, they're basically gonna go after social issues.
They're gonna they're gonna they're gonna say that Christian O'Donnell represents the new Republican Party, wants to take away your social security.
Watch, you watch.
That's all they got.
Republicans want to take away your social security, and uh make sure that you have you can't have abortions.
Uh that may even go out there and say that uh Christine O'Donnell is against masturbation.
Who knows?
It's but it's gonna focus on social issues.
That's because that's that's where they think that they're gonna pick up moderate Republicans and independent Republicans who don't like the uh the uh the the moral majority people that are in the conservative movement.
Now there was a piece the attack, there's an attack on Jim Dement in uh what is it, Politico, because Dement was one of the first to endorse Christine O'Donnell.
So of course the the long knives are coming out, and in this story, listen to this.
Behind closed doors Wednesday, Republican senators tried to assess the damage.
Several senators at the lunch, including Scott Brown of Massachusetts, raised concerns that the party has sent a message that it has no room for moderates, even from the left-leaning states, according to people familiar with the exchanges.
Others expressed frustration that the Republican Party of GOP had essentially given away a pivotal seat that Mike Castle could have won.
Now notice that let's this is political.
Well, let's assume the reporting here is accurate.
Let's just we'll we'll we'll take it here that Brown said what he Said, oh my god, my God, no more room for moderates in the Senate, no more room for moderates in the Republican Party, and frustration, the Republican Party had essentially given away the pivotal seat, the Castle could have won.
Look at how parochial these guys are.
There's no reporting of their concern for the country's future.
There's no reporting of these Republican senators talking about the threat that the Obama agenda poses to the country.
All of this incessant bankrupt spending.
Now they may have talked about it, but it certainly isn't reported.
What's reported is that these guys are going, oh, whoa is us.
Oh, whoa, is us.
Could have had a castle see, could have won it, could have been a contender.
And Scott Brown going on and on, oh, there's no more room for money.
Mr. Brown, let me tell you something.
Look around you in the Senate.
You are surrounded by moderate Republicans, Mr. Brown.
You're surrounded by them.
Not only where you live, but in the Senate, surrounded by them.
You got moderate Republicans in Maine.
After this election, you're still going to be surrounded by moderate Republicans in the Senate.
What are you talking about?
No more room for moderate Republicans in the Senate.
The question is whether there's room for Reagan conservatives anymore in the Republican Party.
That's the question.
That's what this is all about.
And these guys are whining and moaning already.
Oh my God, it may be not be any room for moderates.
But crying out loud, we're surrounded by them in the U.S. Senate.
By the way, Mr. Brown, I would all due respect.
If it weren't for conservatives and Tea Party activists nationwide raising money for you, you wouldn't be in the Senate.
What is this?
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, they're not enough room for money.
Plenty of them.
It's it's Reagan conservatives that are the target here.
Jonathan Chate, let me find it.
Jonathan Chate is a hate merchant.
I mean, Jonathan Chate, he's a new republic.
He wrote a piece, Why I Hate George W. Bush.
Some years ago.
I mean, he was lauded for it.
But let me let me uh let me find, yes.
Here's what Jonathan Chate wrote, uh blog post of the New Republic.
Now comma.
Most elite Republicans understand that the red meat fed to the base isn't exactly right.
It's useful to scare the daylights out of the activists in the base.
But writers for the Weekly Standard, a Wall Street Journal editorial page and National Review understand that freedom, as most people understand the term, is not really at risk here.
The Republican elite understands as well that politics is a little more complicated than if Republicans stay true to conservatism, they can't lose.
But the conservative base is not in on the joke.
And so Republican elites found themselves with just a few frantic days to undo the toxic and intoxicating effects of 20 months of relentless propaganda.
Vote for the man who compromised with evil.
A true conservative can't always win, they can't do it.
I won't say the Republican base strategy, but a total failure, but it's nice to see it blow up in the face of the establishment from time to time.
Now let me translate this for you.
This is ruling class talk.
Jonathan Chate, New Republic, hate merchant, big lib, is winking at us.
He's saying, look, these guys, you know, our counterparts over at the Wall Street Journal editorial page and a weekly Standard National Review.
And, you know, all of us, all these conservatives, you think Republicans they understand that this we're not, there's no freedom at risk here.
Obama's not destroying the country.
They know this, but their base has to be indulged.
The fringe kook conservative base, which feels that the freedom is threatened.
And Obama's destroying the country.
The Republicans regretfully understand they have to indulge And entertain that base.
And so they throw us a bone now and then.
And then they sometimes they go too far, and one of their fringe kooks actually wins something, as in Christine O'Donnell, and Chase happy to see the guys at the Wall Street Journal and National Review and uh and and a weekly standard uh have it thrown in their face.
So they're all in on the gig, see.
They're all in on the joke.
All these inside about way people.
Look, those stupid Americans, those stupid right wingers, those extremist kooks.
They really think freedom's threatened, they really think Obama wants to take away freedom.
Really think, ha!
What a bunch of rubes.
And our friends over on the Republican media side, they gotta indulge it.
I mean, that's their audience, that's their subscribers, that's people that donate.
So yeah, they gotta write pieces now and then that entertain these yokels like us, folks.
But um, at the end of the day, it's all hocus pocus.
The Republicans know that you know, freedom is not threatened, and that Obama's not destroying anything.
And it's, you know, it's just, but we love seeing the Republicans have it blow up in their face now and then.
And then Mike Murphy.
Mike Murphy, who is a Republican campaign consultant.
I think at one point he worked for McCain.
He's uh describes himself as a conservative.
You've seen him on television.
Uh he's a ruling class guy.
He was a Republican consultant.
But let's see, he um oh, have I got the right stack here?
Uh let me find out after the break.
Mike Murphy uh is basically saying, All right, fine.
You you guys, you guys think that um she can win?
Do you think this woman let me try this other stack here?
Gotta find it in here someplace.
Oh, by the way, you did you know that uh Mike Castle called Obama or the other way around?
Mike Castle talked with Obama and Biden last night.
He still hasn't called Christine O'Donnell, but he talked.
Yeah, Michelle Malkin, it's been 24 hours since Christine O'Donnell dethroned.
George Soros, Republican incumbent Mike Castle, as of tonight, still had in place an obligatory call to congratulate her.
Even more intriguingly, the paper, the Delaware News Journal, tweets that Castle's lines of communication worked quite smoothly when he took calls from uh President Obama and Vice President Joe Bite Me.
So he's talked to Obama and Bite Me, but he hasn't him.
They called him, they called Mike Castle a commiserate.
Oh, we could have.
We could have made beautiful music together, Mike.
Having you with us on cap and trade and amnesty for illegals and so forth.
We're sorry uh it didn't work out, but you know, you sometimes you Republicans, you gotta entertain your base out there.
They really think I want to take away your freedom.
Here's Mike Murphy, civil war to GOP.
He's got a peacemaker proposal.
So I must say, speaking only for myself that I'm not thrilled by the Delaware result.
I'm a conservative, but I I can do basic math.
To me, the whole thing looks like it came right out of Harry Reed's dream journal.
I think the primary voters decided, and it is their decision to make, to toss away a sure thing Republican Senate pickup for well, I'm not sure what.
I can say that with a GOP majority now a longer shot, heads are exploding throughout the Republican Senate caucus.
And they are, if the political story is right.
That said, let me make a suggestion, Mr. Murphy writes, to the snarling combatants in the GOP's looming civil war.
Let's settle the argument once and for all.
I think the architects of the O'Donnell putsch, namely South Carolina Senator Jim Dement and Sarah Palin, should both temporarily move to Delaware full-time and personally lead the O'Donnell campaign.
Control it, direct it, and own it.
Show these Georgetown cocktail party addicted and hapless Republican established establishment types how it's really done.
I got my notebook out, I'm ready to learn.
Call me a peacemaker.
So here's Murphy, who also feels personally affronted.
He feels personally insulted by O'Donnell's victory.
It was a sure thing for Castle, but now they can't was okay.
Okay, you guys know more than we do.
You conservatives know more than we professionals.
You conservatives know more than we inside the Beltway ruling class repro.
Okay, Dement, Palin, move to Delaware.
You run the campaign.
If we don't, if we're so out of touch with America, you show us how it's done.
That's Mike Murphy.
That is one of our guys.
That is one of our guys.
Okay, Palin, okay, Dement, get yourselves the Delaware.
I'll sit here in my cocktail party.
Apparently that really bugs these people when you tell them they're trying to get their invitation lists for the cocktail parties maintained and shorn up.
Anyway, so there you have it.
Jonathan Chate, hey, you know.
Weekly Standard National Review, Wall Street Journal.
They know, they know freedoms.
It's not at stay.
They know their freedom, as we know, is not gonna be lost, but they also know they got to entertain their kooks.
How come you're not coming after me?
Well, I uh you mean who?
You mean why these?
Why oh, well, because I'm probably not mentioning their names personally.
You know, I I um I just refer to it as the pseudo GOP intellectual media bunch.
I don't name names.
Um I don't know why look at the you know they hate me.
At any rate, look, we gotta take a little break here, uh, folks.
The Associated Press uh is begging the Democrats to extend tax cuts for the rich.
The AP is begging, they've even gone out and they've taken a poll that shows that most Americans want the rich to have tax cuts.
And we the AP is trying to advise the White House here don't screw this up.
Do not raise taxes on anybody.
Our future's at stake.
Our credibility.
At any rate, lots to do on the program.
Your phone calls as well.
Sit tight.
Uh oh, Mike Castle blaming me and Hannity for uh the loss.
Grab number four.
Now, let's go to the break.
I'll I'll do program host discipline here.
We'll get to it when we come back.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Fastest three hours in media, fastest week in media.
Here's Mike Castle.
Yesterday Washington on Capitol Hill is during an interview with an unidentified Fox News reporter.
And uh Castle explaining why he lost.
I think the uh misrepresentations of the lies of uh Sean Hannity and Marsh Limbaugh on the air were another very significant uh part uh of all of this.
Uh I think some of the misrepresentations in my opponent's race were a part of it uh as well.
How they ever came up with the theory I voted to impeach George Bush, I'll never know.
I mean, and that was the news for a couple days uh right around the election time by I think Mr. Limbaugh.
But those are the kinds of things uh that make politics very difficult.
Yeah, because the problem is I never said it.
Uh you know what happened during during that period of time on the program when I was discussing this.
I got an email from a very prominent Republican saying, look, I don't know what you're saying, but Bush 43's office phones are ringing off the hook saying that Castle voted to impeach him, and that Bush doesn't like it.
I said I didn't say that Castle voted to impeach Bush.
What I said was that Castle voted to move the Kucinich resolution for impeachment to the Judiciary Committee, which was run by John Conyers, who was calling for Bush's impeachment.
I also mentioned that the strategy was to move it to the look at the Democrats had to do it because their base was freaking out, and Kucinich was freaking out.
So they had to entertain Kucinich, just like Chate says we have to be throwing bones now and then.
Well, Democrats had to throw a little Kucinich of bone and the Daily Coze Kooks a bone and pretend they're going to impeach Bush.
So they let Kucinich write a resolution, they're going to send a judiciary committee.
Conyers runs it where they're going to kill it.
The thing is, Mike Castle voted for it.
He voted to move the resolution.
Now, you didn't have to vote for it.
It was going to die anyway.
160 Democrats voted for the Kucinich resolution.
That was moved to the Judiciary Committee.
A lot of Republicans did not vote for it, but Castle did.
Castle voted to move the resolution to the Judiciary Committee, which is the process for getting the impeachment ball rolling.
Nobody wanted to do it.
The Democrats didn't want to impeach Bush.
They didn't want to get rid of the target.
Target rich environment out there.
They didn't want to do that.
They wanted Bush there.
Bush's approval numbers at 25% or whatever it was.
I mean, even the main site behind this resolution, the impeach Bush site, said that if it did not get moved to the Judiciary Committee, it would have gone to a floor vote where it would have lost by a laughably hard, a large number.
Going to the Judiciary Committee gave them hope.
Only 24 Republicans voted for this thing.
And Castle was one of them.
Now, did the other Republicans want Bush to be impeached?
A lot of people, when these things come up, things like this, some of these people look at it, you've got to vote the way your constituents will.
He didn't have to vote for this thing.
Now he's out there saying, I said he voted to impeach Bush.
He doesn't understand it.
Well, because I didn't say it.
But stop and think of this.
I'm sitting here minding my own business doing this program.
While that's happening, I'm getting an email from somebody close to Bush 43 saying, look, well, I don't know what you're doing, but Bush's office is getting reamed here.
Uh saying Castle voted to impeach.
Well, I said I didn't say that.
Uh anyway, we're striking nerves practically every segment on this program this week.
From politico Democrats may make O'Donnell an issue.
Results in a series of brutal Republican primaries present embattled Democrats with an opportunity, but also a balancing act.
While they're eager to highlight some of the views of the Tea Party back candidates who have emerged, especially Christine O'Donnell, they're in the midst of a new attempt to paint a broad national contrast with the Republican economic policy and fear that message could be diluted.
Democrat National Committee Chairman Tim Kane, the I say, yeah, it's a little um little bit of a matter of which ammo you use.
There's a couple of different ways to go.
It's all elements of painting the same choice.
But many of the candidates' vulnerabilities aren't on straightforward economic issues.
O'Donnell's greatest problem may be her trail of debt and lawsuits.
Attention was on display Wednesday within Cain's own DNC, which, after days of promising a laser-like focus on John Boehner, and his support for extending tax cuts for the rich.
And they get sidetracked here thinking they have to go after O'Donnell.
Now, here's what's going to happen.
Our side media, as you well know, will be right in there helping a Democrat Party's national messaging.
And what they're going to say is that the Republicans are a party full of Christine O'Donnell's.
And there's no room for moderates anymore in the Republican Party.
This is what her election means.
And they're going to quote Scott Brown from the political story.
Oh, no, no more room for moderates in the Republican Party.
Then they're going to say that Christine O'Donnell and the Republicans want to take away your social security.
And they're going to really hyper up the social issues side.
The implicit message will be the Republicans are about to elect a slate of hard social rightists.
I mean big-time moralists to the Congress.
That's you can find this in the Atlantic magazine.
Mark Ambinder, that's what they're going to do.
A liberal journalist here is admitting media bias, admitting that the media is going to join the Democrat Party in this.
And the way they're going to go about this is just that is to uh go back to page 35 of the playbook, Republicans can take away your social security, and a bunch of moral majority type people are gonna end up running, and you're not gonna be able to masturbate, you're not gonna be able to have adoption, and whatever you're you they're gonna go after you left and right on this.
That's that's what they're gonna do.
Mark my words.
Almost half the country, this is AP, almost half the country opposes tax increases for the richest Americans, according to a poll, suggesting that Congressional Democrats are taking some risk by backing Obama's plan to boost taxes on the wealthy.
Now, this, folks, this is a profound thing.
We're getting a very different tune here from the AP.
This is the AP begging the Democrats to extend tax cuts for the rich.
And it went out and did a poll.
Half the country is against raising taxes on the rich.
Now, this is a stunning thing to read in an article in the Associated Press.
This shows just how worried uh the media complex is about the prospect of their Democrat masters losing control in Washington.
Really, what this is all about, they're going out there doing these polls and they're finding out uh that you know, these guys, uh, American people, they don't want the rich taxed.
They're trying to send a message to the Democrats.
Apparently, the AP is so worried they're even willing to push for tax cuts for the rich if it'll help a Democrats at the polls.
This is near heresy.
They're so concerned out there, they are even willing to drop their class warfare for a day and tell a truth about all this.
Listen to this.
Less than 50 days from elections that Republicans hope will land them in control of the Congress.
The APGFK poll is stuffed with encouraging signs for the Republicans.
Huge majorities call the economy sickly, say Congress is doing its job badly.
By 46% to 41% margin, people want Republicans steering the economy, the first Republican edge on that runaway number one conservative voters in the APGFK poll ever.
And while Americans are evenly split over whether they prefer their district's Democrat or GOP candidate, those likeliest to vote tilt toward the Republicans 53 to 43.
By the way, the enthusiasm gap here is huge.
Even Michael Barone writing about it, the enthusiasm for Republican voters, it's always up for the party out of power in uh midterm elections.
They've never seen anything like this.
The enthusiasm Republican voters have, and there's nothing, and they're hoping Obama go out there and do something to gin up identical enthusiasm on the left.
But those days are over.
People are abandoning Obama intros.
There's nothing he can do.
He can't go back and recapture this spirit that he had prior to being immaculated.
They can't do it.
So now this is, I'm telling you, when the AP comes out and says, uh, warning, warning, uh, you better support tax cuts for the rich.
That means there's they now really, really worried that all this polling data that the Democrats are gonna lose control in both houses is accurate.
Now, I mentioned the other day that we're losing the language, and this tax cut issue provides me an excellent illustration, a teachable moment as to how we're losing the language.
In the news, and in this AP story that I just put to the bottom of the stack here, I mean, look what's in the headline.
Nearly half oppose tax hikes for rich tax increases go through the tax increases, tax increases, tax increases, tax increases.
And these tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts.
So in the news, we're debating tax cuts in the real world, in real English, the issue is not tax cuts, but tax increases.
We have the tax code is what it is.
The income tax rates are what they are, And they are current, and they are in the tax code.
If those tax rates expire, and we go to what the rates were prior to their imposition, that what we have is a tax increase.
And yet the media is joining Obama in his incessant call for tax cuts for the middle class.
Obama is going to cut nobody's taxes.
If he goes along with this notion of not having the Bush tax cuts expire, we're just leaving the tax code as it is.
Nobody's taxes are going to get cut.
But Obama wants credit for cutting taxes, and the media is trying to help him do that.
The left is saying they want to cut taxes for the middle class, but they're not offering tax cuts in real English.
What they're saying is they don't want to raise taxes on the middle class right now.
Right now, till after the election.
So in their own words, will rates go down next year.
No, the rates are going to stay the same.
If if nothing is done, the rates will stay the same.
There are no tax cuts on the table here, folks.
I don't, you if you hear the media talking about Obama's tax cuts, Democrats working hard to secure tax cuts for the middle class.
No such thing being contemplated.
There is no such, there is no tax cut on anybody's table right now.
All that's on the table is letting the current rates not expire.
And if the current rates do expire on anybody, the old rates, which are higher, go into effect, you've got a tax increase.
We are effectively talking about whether or not to increase taxes.
Nobody is talking about cutting them.
Except us.
I, you, me, all of us know that we've got to cut taxes further, and we've got to target the private sector and get out of its way, get the obstacles and restrictions out of its way.
Get rid of the the uh the capital gains tax for a period of time, reduce the corporate tax down a 20% or whatever, and lower people's taxes.
You know, we keep hearing about American people have to sacrifice.
Uh tough times like this.
Well, the American people, what the hell is 10% unemployment for crying out loud?
The American people are sacrificing.
You know who doesn't sacrifice?
You know what the greatest repository of greed in the world is is in Washington, D.C., and everybody who lives off the pile of money that piles in there every day.
The greed is on uh every elected official, the greed is in every bureaucracy, the greed is in the Oval Office.
The one bunch that never ever sacrifice is Washington.
Never.
And it's time they sacrificed time the American people were allowed to keep more of what they earn, so there's an incentive to go out and work and earn.
But nobody's talking tax cuts.
But they want you to believe that Obama is going to cut taxes on the middle class.
He's not going to do the anything of the sort.
Tax cuts to Obama is like the cross to Dracula.
So this is an illustration of how we are losing the language.
Is the capital gains tax rate going to go down?
No.
Will the dividend tax rate go down?
No.
All these are going up.
All of these rates are increasing.
Nothing's going down.
And yet you can't escape Obama tax cuts, middle class.
This is how we've lost the language.
Quick timeout, we'll be back.
We'll continue with much more right after this.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh behind a golden EIB microphone starting a million conversations with mind over chatter.
Certainly, you asked me earlier, these uh Republican consultants, campaign consultants, and Democrat campaign consultants, you asked me, what did you ask for?
They hate me?
Why the why the?
Yeah, he asked me, why aren't they coming after me?
I said they hate me.
I think the real answer to this is they just pretend I'm not here.
They just pretend I don't exist.
It's easier that way.
You know, Zef Chaffetz's book on me, uh the autobiography, the biography, uh Party of One.
The National Review didn't review it.
Weekly Standard didn't review it.
Mike Murphy didn't review it.
Scott Brown didn't review it.
Um the Wall Street Journal didn't review it.
I mean, it it's they just pretend I'm not here.
They just pretend I don't exist.
It's I think I think that's how they deal with it.
Well, Castle knows I exist, but that's only because they all know I exist.
That's why I say they're pretending.
Uh Carol San Antonio, Texas, uh great to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi.
Uh hi though, how are you doing?
Um I think it's a lot bigger than anti-establishment that's going on on both sides.
I think what's really going on is that the American people, not directly knowing, but they are rejecting Keynesianism.
Because Keynesianism prevails in DC because it is an economic mindset that allows for the growth of government on both sides.
But Keynesianism doesn't really work with us regular folk out here.
Um we don't we can't spend more than we'll be taking.
You know something, Carol.
I think you have uh you've you've uh for a caller, you've come close to the bullseye today.
Uh Daniel Henninger in the Wall Street Journal today, his column is it's the spending.
That's what Carol means here by Keynesian.
Keynesian economic theory is spend, spend, spend government spend.
That's how you stimulate a stagnant economy.
Spend, spend, spend, and spend some more.
This is more control, command control economy.
If you spend money on a stimulus if it doesn't work, you didn't spend enough.
You just spend, spend, spend.
And Henniger points out, and and Carol pointing out here, the American people, they may not know Keynesian.
Some of them might pronounce it Keynesian if they saw it written, but they know what it is spending.
And they know that it's out of control, and they know it's destroying the future for their kids and grandkids.
They know at some point some of this is going to have to be paid back.
They know it.
It is the spending.
And they also understand that because of all this debt that's being racked up, that freedom is imperiled as a result of it.
But even without that.
How can these intelligence suggest that freedom is not really at risk here after they've read Obamacare.
I mean, just today.
Just today, New York City has announced further places you cannot smoke.
You can't smoke in a park, and they're all outdoor places.
You can't smoke in a park, you can't smoke at the beach, you can't smoke wherever.
It'd be easier for New York City to publish a list of where you can smoke.
It'd take one page.
Now we're talking about a legal product.
We're talking about a product whose taxes fund health care for the children.
And here's the do-gooder nanny governor or mayor.
Can't smoke it here, can't smoke it there, can't smoke over there.
This is not incidental.
This is not insignificant.
It's a legal product, and yet they're telling you what we can't do and can't use it, where we can't use it.
And of course, a lot of non-smokers are going along with, oh yeah, because they hate smokers.
I can prove it by lighting up.
Well, I don't light up, just using one of my e-cigarettes in a bar in an elevator.
You ought to see the panic.
It's fun.
Bring out the e sig.
And uh people just just freak.
I told you about over in Hawaii.
Bar manager came up.
Mr. Limbaugh is smoking not allowed.
I know you're not.
I'm not smoking.
It's an e-cigarette.
Look at this water vapor and I'd blue in his face.
Ah, it smells like vanilla.
He said it's right.
Oh, Mr. Lee came back later.
Mr. Limbaugh does people don't like the sight of it.
It's making them uncomfortable.
Watching you pretend.
Well, I said it's their problem.
I'm not hurting anybody.
Why don't you go tell them to move?
Don't tell me we are not losing our freedoms.
Don't tell me this is some abstract concept.
Go read the health care bill.
Obamacare.

Go look at all of Folks.
I mean, I joke about this, but I can't turn on outdoor lights eight months a year on property I own?
Because state and county ordinances, which are multiple, threaten me with fines and imprisonment.

I wish I didn't have to take a time out because I'm on a roll.
