Time Text
If it weren't for the calendar, I would not know this is Christmas time.
I mean the venom that is out there in the email from people ticked off.
We don't have an Android or blackboy uh blackberry version of the app.
Uh to people kicked off at me talk about McNabb and and football.
And people ticked off at you, snurly for making that the first call of the day.
Poor old Dorothy from uh from Chicago.
Greetings and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
We're here.
Serving humanity.
Half my brain tied behind my back just to make it fair.
Telephone numbers 800-282-2882.
The email address lrushball at EIBNet.com.
Folks, I have to tell you, not one person.
Now I've checked the email here during the top of the hour break.
I'm going to read some of the couple of email replies I got replying to Dorothy from Chicago.
But I got one person.
One person who understood what she was trying to say.
My wife, Catherine, sends me a note that says, have Dorothy call me.
Oh, and that's another thing.
I posted a new picture of the two dogs, Abby and Wellesley.
We put it up on Facebook and at Rush Limbaugh.com.
We got them out of the school yesterday.
Well, they go to the kennel during the.
We call it school.
And they got a bath yesterday, and a kennel put red ribbons in their hair.
They're sheep dogs, and they pull the hair out of their eyes and send them home with a couple of red ribbons on top of their head.
I'm getting grief about that.
People sending him email, you wouldn't dare do that.
That has to be I didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
The kennel did it, and as soon as we got them home, we took the red ribbons off of there, but but Catherine took a picture of them first.
It's a cute picture.
Get off my back about this.
For crying out loud.
It's a just the venom that's out there to hear.
Rush, I think the caller was saying she wanted to hear you be less glib and speak more from the heart.
That you need to express your core values more to get more in touch with your inner limbaugh.
And I said no.
I'd asked her if that's what she wanted, and she wanted to hear my feminine side, and she said, she said, uh no.
She said Rush, here's what was uh going on.
She's upset because so many people that she knows don't get you because they don't listen to you.
And she wishes you would do something to help those people that don't understand you to more properly understand you.
Well, how can I do that if they're not gonna listen?
So this guy theorizes that she goes out, she gets grief from people for listening to me, and she tries to tell them how they're wrong about stuff.
Then there's this from a guy named Tom.
Dear Rush, I think the caller needs to stop worrying about what her other people think of her.
My wife hated you, hated when I'd listened to you, so I divorced her.
The caller needs new friends.
Stay away from the blockhead parties.
My wife hated you, hated when I'd listened to you.
I divorced her.
Oh.
And Merry Christmas to all of you.
I hear from all of us at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
Great to have you here, folks.
Again, the telephone number 800-282-2882.
If you're just joining us, the long-awaited, eagerly anticipated iPhone app, iPhone iPad app for Rush Limbaugh 24-7's now available free in the app store.
The Apple app store it on the on iTunes, the Android version and the Blackberry version coming, they're in the pipeline.
The iPhone version works on the iPad.
There's not a separate iPad app.
It's uh it's an iPhone app.
And once you uh start streaming video, if you're watching on your iPad, hit the 2x button, the expand button, and it'll expand to full size with full video quality.
You won't lose anything on the video streaming.
We've uh you know, we've put the retina code, wrote the retina code in.
It's the best way I can explain it.
So uh there's no quality loss expanding the iPhone app to iPad screen size.
You have to be a subscriber, Rush 24-7 to use it.
Uh it's a free app, but it's uh unless you're a subscriber, it won't get you anything.
You can subscribe right from the app.
There are much much a different subscriber plans for uh our website, which we call Rush 247, but the search term at the app store is Rush Limbaugh.
All right, from CNN, the presidents of Harvard and Yale universities have expressed interest.
I mentioned this yesterday, have expressed interest in ROTC programs now coming back to campus after Congress repeal a don't ask, don't tell policy that has banned openly gay and lesbian service members.
The university's statements come five months.
After Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, then a Supreme Court nominee came under criticism by Republican senators who complained that she actively tried to block military recruiters from Harvard Law School when she was the dean there because of the don't ask, don't tell policy.
Kagan and the White House have strongly defended her action, saying that while she opposed the military's policy, she never kept recruiters off the university.
Well, that is simply not true.
And yet now that Don't Ask, Don't Tell has been officially repealed, Harvard's announcing that it would welcome ROTC back.
What a coincidence.
Now, I have a serious question.
You want the inner limbaugh?
Here's the inner limbaugh.
Does this mean that Elena Kagan can be removed from the Supreme Court since it's now clear she lied to the Senate during her confirmation hearings?
By the way, both Harvard and Yale do have a uh uh uh lesbian uh transgender gay uh bisexual department, LBGT.
They've got one, so one can major in what they they call it they call here please look at me.
They call this at Harvard and Yale, the LBGT department, they call it queer studies.
Hence the line.
The only thing better than an openly homosexual soldier is an openly homosexual soldier from Yale or Harvard with a degree in that's what they call it, I'm told.
Well, it's not in the book, but I mean, the attendees, this is what, you know, it's it's it's kind of like blacks can use the N-word when talking amongst themselves.
Four months after taking the uh the gig, as Harvard's dean in October of 2003, Elena Kagan offered students her thoughts in a campus-wide email saying that to give recruiters equal access to the campus causes me deep distress.
I abhor the military's discriminatory recruitment policy, called it a profound wrong, a moral injustice of the first order.
It's just a shame a don't ask, don't tell wasn't repealed in time for her hearings.
She might have been able to let her hair down, so to speak.
At any rate, this I don't, I don't, I have snurkly, don't even I don't even want to go there.
The inner limbaugh doesn't want to go that deep.
I don't know what you have to do to get a degree in those studies.
There are limits even to my inner limbaugh.
From Jerry Seaper at the Washington Times, the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America, Joe Arpayo in Phoenix, who cranked up his Christmas music machine for inmates last month.
You like the way that's written, cranked up his Christmas music machine, has scheduled a caroling contest for interested pretrial prisoners, with the winner to receive a real Christmas dinner for himself and his cellmates.
In a move at Sheriff Arpayo said is likely to make Ebenezer Scrooge smile, the eligible inmates are those being held at the Maricopa County jails on charges ranging from burglary and driving under the influence to murder.
Because Santa Claus and the sheriff, the judges are beside Santa Claus and the sheriff, and judges will include uh well, there's a singing detention officer will also perform I'll have a blue Christmas without you, so forth.
So Joe Arpaillo said all people everywhere deserve a little Christmas.
So it's a little Christmas uh news story here that's balance to the um I'm offended by Christmas trees story yesterday.
Joe Arpayo, cranking up the Christmas music machine for the prisoners.
And the singing contest.
Caroling contest.
They get a free Christmas dinner for themselves and their fellow inmates.
Have you heard about this?
A guy cruises through a stop sign, gets pulled over by a local cop.
Guy hands over his driver's license.
Insurance verification is concealed carry permit.
Okay, Mr. Smith, the officer says, I see your concealed carry permit.
Are you carrying today?
Yes, sir, I am.
Well, better tell me what you got.
Smith says, Well, I got a 357 revolver in my inside coat pocket.
There's a nine millimeter semi-automatic and a glove box.
And I got a 22 Magnum Derringer in my right boot.
Okay, officer says anything else.
Yeah, back in the trunk, there's an AR-15 and a shotgun.
It's about it.
Mr. Smith, are you on your way to or from a gun range?
Nope.
Well, then, what are you afraid of?
Not a damn thing.
Back to the phones we go open line Friday on Tuesday, hosted by me.
Uh Rush Limbaugh.
That was a joke.
Uh well, I just I have to be very careful.
That was a joke.
Uh people don't really drive around with guns in their cars.
It's uh joke.
Now what was a joke, but the reason why it's funny is because it's got a lot of truth.
Pittsburgh, John, welcome, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Russ.
Uh, Merry Christmas to you and Catherine and the whole EIB family.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Hey, the the first time I'd heard anything about this no Naples business was on uh Heart Boiled with uh and he had uh Charlie Christ on there.
And and the whole time he's trying to get him to separate it uh you know, pretty much put down the Republican party the whole time he was interviewing him.
But I kept thinking to myself the whole time, didn't he just run with no label?
He it essentially did.
Charlie, Charlie Christ was a Republican.
Yeah.
He was running for the uh uh primary victory against Marco Rubio.
He was gonna lose, so he switched and became an independent.
Yeah, but he yeah, he tried to be an independent with no labels.
That's that that that is your your your great your great point.
I mean, Charlie Christ is the poster child of no labels.
Right.
A loser.
You know, a Republican who's fed up.
This these are whether it's a Democrat or Republican, losers end up joining this no labels bunch.
That's your point, right?
Right.
And in the three-way race, Marco Rubio uh he ran on conservatism and got 50% of the vote.
Exactly right, and yet Charlie Chris is a model.
I mean, they love the fact that no labels people, they sing Charlie Chris praises.
This is the kind of guy that we're talking about.
This is the kind of candidate that we're talking about.
And you so aptly point out he got skunked.
Exactly.
Well done, sir.
John, I gotta hand it to you.
Bonnie in Stanton, Virginia.
Nice to have you on the program.
Hello.
Yeah, hello, Rush.
Oh, I I I've uh long time listeners since 1990.
I'm a star treaty.
Obama is he's undermining even our U.S. missile defense.
I'm not kidding you.
He's gonna have one third of a nuclear weapons dismantled.
He's closing down the naval bases in Virginia, the military joint task force base which affects the whole country, and only cut out a military defense planes, uh, armory down the side, the D Tune, the second engine that the joint task force fighter that's no longer gonna be made if he has his way.
And this tree alone to the treaty with the Russians.
Uh, we're not gonna have a missile defense because he went, we won't be able to update a missile, and we won't be able to have the you know, the uh strategic nuclear defense.
We won't be the uh hit anything down if they hit us with a nuclear weapons.
These uh these are Obama's objectives.
I mean, he said this during the campaign.
He wants to reduce and eliminate nuclear arsenals, and he'll start with ours.
Yeah, I wanted to say this though, Rosh Smith.
Uh the Russians have broken every tree.
And and the Chinese are still building, building, and I've got a graph in front of me, and it shows that China and Russia is way at the top, and we're at the bottom.
We're at the bottom of the NA neutral and West.
So I mean, this is dangerous for America and our defense.
And it's going to reach in our defense already.
We need to stop it.
Let me look at Obama Obama is doing exactly what he promised during the campaign.
He vowed to get rid of our missile defense.
Everybody knows the Russians don't live up to agreements.
This is this is not about the Russians.
This is about us.
You're you're exactly right.
Now you sound, this is interesting to me, and I don't mean this in a derogatory way.
You sound like somebody who's just figured this out.
You may have known it for a long time.
I'm glad to hear this this passion that you have, uh, because I think you represent a whole lot of people who are just now figuring out my gosh, who is this guy that other Americans elected.
The Russians have ten times our number of tactical weapons.
Ten times.
Of course, they'd be happy to get rid of whatever number we're getting rid of.
They will still have a uh a vast, vastly larger number.
But this is not just liberals.
Bonnie, this is Democrats.
This is what they have been after as long as I've been alive.
The focus of evil in the modern world is the United States.
Our nuclear arsenal makes us the lone superpower.
We represent the threat.
We represent the focus of evil.
And he's just fulfilling a lifelong dream of the Democrat Party and the American left and the worldwide left.
And he's got the votes to do it.
Everything I'm seeing television this morning reporting about this, he's got the votes and with a number of Republicans.
Because it's being it's being misrepresented.
It's being represented as something that will promote peace.
And depending on how the wordage is uh put together, the verb is put together, some Republican Senate, I can't vote against peace.
What do you want me to do?
Involved vote against peace, and I'm not gonna vote against peace.
It's um say a thing.
Bonnie, you might want to check this national review dot com, advise don't consent.
Uh it's kind of amazing.
And he writes about this.
Let me read you a couple of excerpts here.
President Obama is writing to the wrong people.
And those wrong people are hopelessly confused about his power and their own.
This is how bad agreements are born.
Senate Republicans could easily kill this New Start Treaty and tell the administration to go back to Moscow and cut a deal that promotes American national security.
The Republicans could easily do this.
The Constitution disfavors treaties that are not patently in our interests.
That's why the Constitution requires two-thirds 67 Senate votes for approval.
That's seven more than the 60 vote threshold generally required to move contentious legislation through the Senate.
Now, even in this wretched lame duck session, without the six new Republicans who will join the caucus in a couple of weeks.
The Republican 42 senators ought to be more than sufficient to stop this.
Even without a scoop Jackson Democrat to count on, how tough could it be to prevent nine Republicans from defecting from saying yes to a deal that imperils U.S. missile defenses.
It does nothing about Russia's numerical advantage, which is huge in tactical nukes and creates a sovereignty-sapping bilateral consultative commission.
That would undermine the Constitution's treaty process by circumventing Senate approval of future restrictions.
So turns out that it's pretty tough.
As is too often the case, Republican senators are taking their foreign affairs cues from John McCain and Richard Luger, leaders of the caucus's moderate wing, wishes to say it's incoherent wing, according to Andy McCarthy.
They want to support the treaty because to do so would be bipartisan.
Yay.
Really?
That's that's what's motivating them.
You know, it would be bipartisan.
But they know that it is atrocious.
They want to rewrite it.
So we're now watching them play Let's Pretend.
The Senate is pretending it has the authority to rewrite a treaty, while the president pretends that the unacceptable treaty can be fixed by writing letters to the senators who need courting rather than writing a new treaty with Russian leaders who need convincing.
So it's a mess.
It is not helpful to the United States.
It's helpful to our enemies.
But this is the status quo for the Democrat Party, folks.
All during my early 20s and my teen years, early twenties, and ever since.
Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Democrat Party always sided with the Soviet Union over America.
The Democrat Party has always...
You remember, we had news develop that Ted Kennedy had actually either gone to Moscow or called or written Yuri Andropov warning them all of Ronald Reagan.
The Democrat Party was actively supportive of the communists establishing a base in Nicaragua.
So this really isn't anything new.
It's just...
Kennedy wrote the Russians that's right, offering to help them defeat Reagan.
So this is it really isn't anything new.
It's just that, as in the case, as is the case with much of Obama's domestic agenda, he's getting it done for the first time.
The Democrats have not really succeeded.
Full bore in harming U.S. national security.
They've had a lot of dents, they made a lot of, but they've never done anything like this, so now it's finally happening.
People stand up, sit up and take notice.
Once again, it's inexplicable, all these Republicans helping out.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh, and yes, the uh the new iPhone app works, of course, on an iPod touch.
It works on an iPod touch, it works on an iPhone, and it works on the iPad.
Now it's not written specifically for the iPad, but once again, if you want to uh access the uh Rush Limbaugh app at the app store, it's free.
You have to be a subscriber to Rush 24-7 in order to use it on your iPod touch, your iPhone, or your iPad.
If you want to use it on the iPad, start the streaming video and hit the 2X button in the lower right-hand corner, and it'll expand to fit with full resolution.
The uh iPad screen.
It works.
For droid and Blackberry phone users, your app, your your time is coming.
But I have uh iPads and iPhones, and so that's why we did it.
I wanted mine first.
My website, my show, my network, my app.
And one of the very few times in life that I put myself first.
One of the very, very few times that I um assert my power.
By the way, um, we ought not call this a lame duck session of Congress.
This is scorched earth.
This this is scorched earth.
You know, the Republicans had a lame duck back in uh 2006.
Do you know how much you know how much legislation was passed during the 2006 lame duck session before Pelosi and the gang took over in 2007?
Zero.
None.
They didn't pass any legislation.
They came back to Capitol Hill for one week after the November 7th elections to wrap things up.
Pure and simple.
Carol in Bowling Green, Kentucky, you're next.
Great to have you here.
Oh, thank you, Russ.
It's an absolute delight to talk with you.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
I have a theory about why you're getting all these less than salubrious emails and notes, etc.
It's all this Christmas travel.
Here people are in the car, they've got to go see their mother-in-law, or they've got to get to the airport, they've got to get nine square feet of luggage and gifts into seven square feet of space.
He's grumpy, she's frustrated.
It's just not a good time.
But this is supposed to be a happy time of year.
People are supposed to be doing this stuff out of pure joy in their hearts.
Cramming nine square feet of luggage into seven square feet of space to get to where you're going to give it away.
This is supposed to be a happy holiday time of year.
Why should people be getting ticked off here?
And then, well, wait, you have another piece of this because the food that he said was so delicious when you were dating and you were visiting the mother-in-law, and now he gets it served every Christmas, and it's terrible, but he can't ever say it because that would probably break up the Mary.
Okay, we're dealing with marriage issues here, obviously.
Uh you've uh you've jammed you've jammed your mother-in-law twice here in this call.
And bless her heart, she's not here anymore.
But that makes it even worse.
The poor woman can't respond.
You're ripping the woman.
Are you saying this woman cooked up a storm and it was good until you got married and it went south?
There you go.
No, I'm not.
She's she was a good cook.
I have to take that back.
Okay, so you're talking about other people's mothers-in-laws who found it.
Oh, absolutely.
It's so much easier to talk about other people's mothers-in-law than my own.
All right.
So they phone it in after the marriage takes place.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It all goes south after the marriage takes.
Right, so nobody wants to go to the in-laws because uh after the marriage takes place, the in-laws are free to revert to their normal reprobate selves and have to impress anybody.
Well, not only they're free to revert to the reprobate fell, but you're free to revert also to because all those things that you really like that he took you to, or the places you went and the things you did were wonderful when you were dating.
And when you have to do them year after year after year, they kind of lose their bloom.
Ah, because you have to do them as opposed to want to do it.
Right, right.
You got it.
So what you're basically saying is, if I understand you, what you're basically saying is that people are jealous of me, upset because I can speak the truth and they have to button their lips.
Yes, 24-7.
You can 365, you can do it.
They can't.
Okay.
All right.
So they're taking it out on me.
Exactly.
And we're constrained by politeness, and you're not bothered by it at all.
All right, so uh what what are you doing for Christmas?
Are you uh I am in the road in the car on the way to see my children and my grandchildren.
And we've got the nine square feet of luggage in the mother-in-law.
Have you phoned it in?
Or do you still cook well when the uh in-laws show up?
Oh no, they they still love me, so they just they agree with whatever I do.
Ah, uh-huh.
Uh so everything's cool in your house.
It's every everybody else, it's screwed up.
Oh, absolutely, isn't that?
Isn't that the way it always is?
Well, in a lot of people's minds.
Maybe so.
Anyway.
I think so.
I think so.
I think you're absolutely right.
But this has been the delight of my Christmas.
I would be listening to you for years.
Well, you know, I love mother-in-law bashing.
You know, it's a it's uh it's uh I like it's a stereotypical form of humor that I have always enjoyed.
Uh it's I I find as I grow older that fewer and fewer people like stereotypical humor.
It offends them.
They don't really like it.
But I do.
I just you know the stereotypes of relationships, stereotypes of in-laws, stereotypes of uh kids, stereotypes and whatever.
I love the jokes because there's always a grain of truth in it.
Always.
Uh now, no, my in-laws are cool.
I have to tell you, I'm no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, yeah, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm telling God, no, no, no.
I'm no.
Don't accuse me here of uh uh being Carol.
I'm I'm not no.
I'm not I'm not joining her chorus on that.
I'm just I'm just I'm just stipulating here.
Because I'm you know, I've been the one talking about how I love stereotypical humor so forth.
So if I if I told a joke, I made a a funny comment, stereotypical comment about my in-laws, it would be a joke.
Not because they're really that way.
For no, I'm not, because I don't have to suck up.
Snerdley, I don't suck up.
Uh here look at an example.
I mean, just off the top of my head.
I can't remember how this joke actually goes.
Umotions.
You see your brand new Mercedes driving off the side of the cliff.
Your mother-in-law is driving.
Okay.
Mixed emotions.
Now, I would never want to see my mother-in-law drive off a cliff in any car, hers or mine, but it's a funny joke.
But I don't tell it because it relates to me personally.
I just think it's funny.
And I I am not going to back down from my sense of humor.
I'm not going to let people make me back down my sense of humor.
Too many people are forced to back down from who they are.
I mean, the inner limb is on display here each and every day.
Those people who think that I'm hiding something, ha.
You don't know the half of it.
Augusta, Georgia, this is Russ.
You're next on the uh EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hey, Rush.
Hey, how are you, Russ?
I'm doing terrific, thank you.
Just an awesome honor to get to talk to you.
Thank you.
Hey, I wanted to check with you and find out.
Uh listen, I I'm really hugely annoyed when I uh hear about like how the General Motors uh union got this uh massive windfall of money from the uh basically from the stimulus.
And they're not the only one.
There's a lot of unions that have gotten windfalls of stimulus money.
Well, the whole purpose of the stimulus was to buy General Motors for the Union or the 55% owner.
Well, my feeling is I'm a Republican, and I uh I do not appreciate this is to me, it seems almost like money laundering, and that they're giving all this money to the unions, which the unions then turn around and shell out like there's no tomorrow.
Now, Russ, like in Nevada, support Democrats.
Russ, this this all happened about uh eighteen months ago, nineteen months ago.
Yeah.
Um you've been you've been you've been ticked about it that long.
I have.
Well, it especially came up in uh November when Harry Reid got re-elected due in no small part to union money.
I felt like, well, wait a minute.
Uh that I felt like, look, uh Obama, these people, there should be a law that if they receive stimulus money, they're not allowed to spend anyone.
There probably is, but what does that matter?
There probably is such a law, but what is that?
You're talking Democrats.
Law?
Yeah.
What do you want to do about it besides enforce the law that they won't?
What do you want to do about it?
Right.
Well, I I didn't know if some of our legislators could bring it up.
I'm I'm never I never ceased to be appalled at uh the Republicans' inability to uh to really uh articulate any any much of anything.
Yeah.
Uh so I don't know.
Maybe this is just one more case of that, but I wonder if maybe like uh Michelle Bachman or somebody could you know could submit a bill and uh you know, and try and get something, and that would help bring what would the bill say.
I know Michelle Bachman, I call her.
What do you want the bill to do?
What do you want it to say?
Well, basically just to straight up say, hey, if you receive uh stimulus money, you are not allowed to spend any money on campaign advertising, period, until you have repaid the federal government.
Okay.
I'll I'll talk to her about that.
Wow.
Because I mean you're what you're asking here.
I mean, they've got a you you said it's uh almost like money laundering.
It is money laundering.
There's no most they know almost about it.
Is it pure and so these are slush funds?
The stimulus is not anything but the slush fund, especially for the purpose that you have identified.
And that's the Democrat Party.
That's what they do.
And the Republicans, for the most part, are not gonna say anything about it because they're gonna be called racists since it involves Obama.
Well, yeah, no, you're you're exactly right.
I know.
It's and that's a tough burden.
But somebody has to carry it.
Hey, guess what might provoke hostilities between the Norks and the South Koreans?
Christmas lights.
The South Koreans are thinking about lighting up uh some trees.
Christmas festivities along the uh DMZ, and the Norks are warning them.
You better not do it.
You ha I mean, that's non-secular.
Lighting up a bunch of trees is non-secular.
All right, folks, here we go.
Federal telecommunications regulators, the FCC, approved new rules just now that would for the first time give the federal government formal authority to regulate internet traffic, although how much or for how long remains unclear.
A divided FCC approved the proposal by Chairman Julius Jenikowski to give the FCC power to prevent broadband providers from selectively blocking web traffic.
And that's that's just a ruse.
Net neutrality is not what this is really all about.
This is about the feds wanting to want to do to uh control the internet just as they control the public airwaves.
They want to be able to determine who gets to say what, where, how often, they want to be able to determine what webs or what search services are providing what answers to your queries.
It's total government control of the internet, and the regime has just awarded it to itself after a court said no.
After a court denied them this authority, they went ahead and did it anyway.
The rules are going to effect early next year.
Legal challenges or action by Congress could block the action, and there will be both.
But they were expressly prohibited from doing this by a court of law, just like a court rejected the drilling moratorium in the Gulf, and Ken Zalathar says, Oh, it doesn't matter, we'll just we'll just ban it again.
Rule of law doesn't matter to this bunch.
Donovan McNabb is in the news.
Now you may have heard that people are starting to say that he was overrated.
It's an SI.com.
SI.com has a story.
In fact, the Philadelphia Eagles fans have known long before the media picked up on it that McNabb was overrated.
It's in SI Doctor.
It was on the website uh posted yesterday.
Now we all, well, we football fans know that it has been a roller coaster ride the past three or four weeks for McNabb in Washington with the Redskins.
Benched, threatened to be benched uh for a quarterback of much less achievement and talent.
There are many, many reasons why this is happening.
Went through them yesterday, won't bore them or bore you with them again, but McNabb has spoken about this because the sports media is wringing their hands over how disrespectful the treatment he is getting is.
Uh they're raking the coach of the Redskins, Mike Shanahan over the Coles.
Uh that this is horrible.
Why why disrespect and humiliate such a fine man, a great ambassador for the league?
What's the point here?
So on a Washington sports talk radio stations after apparently McNabb already has a show, a weekly radio show.
I don't know how long it is, but this is what he said about it all.
Everything was handled awkwardly, somewhat, you know, to a disrespect to to me and to the team.
Because of the timing, because of all the leaks and everything that was put out there and no putting out the fire, so to speak.
It was kind of, you know, someone says something, it was an issue's out, and there was no he's our quarterback, this is what we're doing, and blah, blah, blah.
There was nothing to that effect.
And then everything afterwards was kind of just from me.
There's no guarantee you'll be here to, you know, to everything else, where it was like, wow, I'm here and everything, you know, throughout the media and everything else.
It's just like, oh, but I'm a competitor and I'm gonna prepare myself and be here working with these guys.
Sounds like the first caller of the uh program today, you know, in a way.
So what what we don't have here, what McNabb said, despite all of what he is referring to, his disrespect to him from the Redskins, he said today he wants to be back next year.
He wants to be back on the Redskins.
Well, the sports media's got that figured out, Snerdley.
If you paid attention to this stuff, the sports media's already got a couple of free trades worked out.
They've already found a couple of good teams for McNabb.
They think the uh the Vikings would be a good place in Mac McNabb to go while they ramp up with a new quarterback if their Favre decides.
Well, but no, they gotta rebuild.
I mean, they got young quarterbacks.
Arizona's another place because McDab McNabb has an offseason home in Phoenix.
thinking that would be a good place for McNabb to go.
And they clearly have quarterback problems in uh in Arizona, but there are arguments against that too for other rule.
What is the other team?
Two or three other teams.
The sports media's got this figured out.
No, not the Detroit Lions.
No, not the Dolphins.
I I um haven't heard the Dolphins, but I I've just heard Phoenix, Arizona Cardinals, and uh and the Minnesota Vikings, and I don't know where else I can't.
There, there's two others.
But don't worry about the sports media snurters, what I'm telling you.
They've got it all figured out.
If people would just shut up, the sports media could handle McNabb's career.
Dear Rush, the 2X is not working on my iPad.
I have mentioned this before countless times.
It will work if you do it after the streaming video begins.
Wait for the streaming video to begin, then hit the 2x button on your iPad, and it will fill the iPad screen.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I was out shopping the other day, saw six women beating up my mother-in-law.
I was standing there and I'm watching, and her neighbor who knew me.
So, aren't you gonna help?
I looked at it, I said, no, six of them's enough.
Now, I I don't want to see my mother in law beat up, but I just I think the joke's funny.
More football after the break.
