Well, apparently President Obama just said that U.S. actions are slowly tightening the noose on Muammar Gaddafi.
The noose.
We're tightening the noose on Gaddafi.
Isn't that racist?
Any mention of a noose, it's racist, right?
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday, one of the potentially most exciting days of our busy broadcast week.
It could also be a disaster.
It's been both.
The jury's still out so far on today.
What are we...
We haven't taken a call?
I thought we took a call.
I thought I told you to get ready on the phones last.
But we didn't go to the phones.
Oh, is that right?
We haven't taken a call.
Yeah, so far then, Open Line Friday is exciting and great.
We'll take the flyer off the cliff when we go to the phones.
Might do that soon.
Because I'm tired.
It's been a long, busy broadcast week.
It really has.
And I'm still trying to shake this.
I don't feel bad with this cold.
It's just I've got this never-ending congestion.
It's been a long laser.
Hello, telephone number if you want to be on Open Line Friday, where you get to talk about whatever you want to talk about is 800-282-2882 and the email address lrushball at EIBnet.com.
Also during the break, Obama said the United States has to stop funding programs that don't work.
Now, that is truly radical because if he meant it, what would be left?
Name one that does.
And I'm only 10% joking here.
Name one that really does what it was and is designed to do.
And maybe, you know, I haven't been able to watch this.
I've been hosting the program.
I might have missed them, but I haven't heard any questions to Obama about what happened in Wisconsin.
And I'm wondering if the press corps have been told to avoid the subject.
And if, I'm just going to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, if there are no questions about Wisconsin, or if there are just a few, and if they come very late in this presser, let me tell you what that means.
It means the internal polls must be really bad for the unions, and they don't want to bring this up.
They do not want to have Obama talk about it.
Now, we have staff rolling on this, keeping a sharp eye.
I want all of you watching this, keep a sharp eye, and let me know the minute there's a question about Wisconsin.
This press conference started pretty much on time at 12.30 Eastern Time.
Obama's answer to what Gaddafi is doing to his citizens is to say that we're going to maintain a 24-hour surveillance on what's going on over there.
We're going to keep a sharp eye.
Obama said, we're watching.
Spoken like a true spectator-in-chief.
Remember, he really, he can't do much because he spent so much time denigrating U.S. involvement in the Middle East as a candidate.
He ripped George W. Bush, a new one, all the Democrats did, for imposing freedom, for imposing our way of life on Iraq and Afghanistan.
Go in there and do something about Gaddafi would make him in the eyes of his base a hypocrite.
So he keeps talking about we need to be in consultation with the international community.
Well, look, Obama's a community organizer.
He's an agitator.
So he's not a leader here.
He doesn't want the U.S. to lead in this circumstance.
He's perfectly fine being a spectator and, of course, wagging that finger and issuing warnings to Gaddafi.
And of course, Gaddafi, who may be totally stoned by now, who knows?
Gaddafi's over there supposed to be really threatened because Obama says, we're watching, pal.
We are watching.
And furthermore, we are taking notes.
Now, listen to this.
We have a soundbite here.
We have three of them from the press conference for the last half hour.
This first, just listen to it.
Three years ago, before the recession hit, a combination of factors, including rising demand from emerging economies like China, drove gas prices to more than $4 a gallon.
The worldwide recession and the decrease in demand pushed prices back down.
But over the past year, as the economy's picked up steam and global demand for oil has increased, prices have increased again.
America is better prepared for supply disruptions than we used to be.
Today, we use 7% less oil than we did in 2005, even as our economy has grown since then.
Partly because our economy as a whole is more efficient.
We're adapting.
We're producing more oil and we're importing less.
That's not true.
It simply is not true.
I've got the charts and graphs to demo it.
I can't show them to you in the ditto cam.
It's too hard for me to do and it's too hard for you to follow.
But I mean, it's not true.
We are not producing more oil.
We've got moratoriums for crying out loud.
And we are not importing less.
But the whole theme of this bite, gasoline prices are up because of our economic recovery.
That's akin to saying we have succeeded in reducing demand and we want to further reduce demand.
Let me translate that for you.
That means continued recession.
If there is a reduction in the demand for energy, that means there's no economic growth.
And that's not an opinion.
That's mathematics, geometry, trigonometry.
We use less oil, 7% less oil than in 2005.
And we're supposed to be out of the recession.
This is make-believe.
This is pure man behind the curtain, Wizard of Oz, make-believe.
7% less.
You know what this guy is trying to do?
All of his population, the stimulus worked.
We're creating new jobs.
The recession is over.
Far as he's concerned, it wants you to believe everything he's done to revive this economy is working and it's going so well that gasoline prices are up.
We now have to look at rising gasoline prices and thank him because it's a sign that the economy is coming back.
It's a sign there's an economic recovery.
Now here he elaborates on the fact that he has increased oil production.
Our oil production reached its highest level in seven years.
Oil production from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico reached an all-time high.
For the first time in more than a decade, imports accounted for less than half of what we consumed.
So any notion that my administration has shut down oil production might make for a good political soundbite, but it doesn't match up with reality.
The industry holds leases on tens of millions of acres, both offshore and on land, where they aren't producing a thing.
So, I've directed the Interior Department to determine just how many of these leases are going undeveloped and report back to me within two weeks so that we can encourage companies to develop the leases they hold and produce American energy.
Yeah, with the rising oil price, it makes perfect sense for them to do this now, right?
So, we've got the leader of the regime who is demanding that these guys start bringing oil out of the ground at these prices, guaranteed to not be to profit situation.
But this is all I, folks, I don't know how to deal with it.
We're not talking about some mayor running out there and bragging about trash collection here.
We've got the president of the United States telling us that oil production reached highest level in seven years in the Gulf of Mexico.
It's an all-time high production, and for the first time in more than 10 years, imports account for less than half of what we're consuming.
If that's true, it's because we're consuming less, because our economy is not growing, because prices are going up.
Man, this guy puts you in an awkward position.
It's like I've been saying all week, nobody wants to believe a president that doesn't believe in economic growth in a traditional American way and all that.
Now we've got one that's I can't believe he's lying like this.
What do you mean, Russia?
Of course you know, I know he's, but it says, I just this is so brazen.
And of course, you've got this compliant press corps there just sapping, lapping this all up.
Their tongues are on the floor, just sucking it all up.
They can't get enough of it.
Anybody heard a question yet on Wisconsin at this press conference?
Has there been a question, or has there been a question on Wisconsin yet?
Means the internal polling data not good for the unions.
All right.
Here we go again.
Final soundbite.
Listen to me.
If we tap every single reserve available to us, we can't escape the fact that we only control 2% of the world's oil, but we consume over a quarter of the world's ore.
T-Boom Pickens, who made his fortune in the oil business, and I don't think anybody would consider him unfriendly to drilling, was right when he said that this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of.
Well, that's right.
We can't place our long-term bets on finite resources that we only control 2% of, especially resources that's vulnerable to hurricanes, war, and political turmoil.
This is the kind of day.
I don't even want to do this.
We've got more oil in the Bakken Reserve if we can go get it with fracking.
But they don't like fracking because the environmentalists don't like it.
We have more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia has.
Not in traditional deposits, but we've got it.
It's there.
And in fact, in North Dakota, South Dakota, where this Bakken range is, unemployment's at 3%.
It's a boom time up there.
As people are signing on to start working for people, trying to figure out a way to get this oil out of the ground.
This is just 2% of the world's oil.
And here's that old statistic.
We're 2% of the world's population, 2% of the world's oil, using 25%.
My gosh, I've been hearing that for 20 years.
It's the environmentalist lament.
It's rooted in this whole belief that America is a bully, that America is a thief, that America is selfish, and that we're too big.
And we've taken more than our share.
It's time to give it back.
It's time we suffered like other people in the world have suffered because of us.
That's the underlying belief that makes somebody say something like this.
Man, we consume too much of the world's oil.
That's right.
We consume too much of the world.
We're just rotten people.
And we've got to find out what the rest of the world feels like the way they live.
We got to find out.
All right, let's take a break.
We'll get to your phone calls.
We'll do this.
When we come back here, Rush Lynn Boy, the EIB Network, and Open Line Friday.
Happy, there are you.
Welcome back.
It's Rush Lynn Boy, and it's Open Line Friday, and we go to the phones.
As promised, we're going to start in Springfield, Illinois with Brian.
Welcome, sir.
Great to have you here.
Hey, Rush, honor and a privilege.
Thank you.
20-year listener, first-time caller.
I appreciate that.
You made me think a lot about this Wisconsin thing and about how the citizens are paying their salaries.
Right.
And it made me think about the NFL and how I'm a big supporter of the NFL.
Maybe we need some representation there, the fans, on some of these negotiations.
Well, in this case, you can make the analogy, of course, of private sector union negotiations versus public.
But in the case of the public sector unions, the payment is direct.
It goes from the back pocket of the taxpayer right to the employee.
And that guy does have no choice about paying his taxes.
He has no choice.
Whatever the state tax rate is, he's got to pay it.
You can choose whether or not to buy a jersey.
You can choose whether or not to go to a game.
You can choose whether or not to even have cable and watch the stuff on television.
You can choose to totally avoid it.
If you don't want to donate a dime to the National Football League, you don't have to.
Right, but do you think it might help if we did organize?
Fans?
Yes.
No.
No.
Not at all.
What are you going to do?
I'm not sure, but if we organize and we've got our money and our resources together, we could...
You don't have to do that.
We could have how many games...
If you'll have some sort of input in.
Wait a second.
Well, wait a minute.
Now, let's cut to the chase here.
What is it about the NFL CBA talks that's got you bugged?
Who are you mad at?
It just made me think when you said that the people paying the salaries taxpayers.
It made me think about the NFL and the fans that are paying the salaries.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but it just hit me as a similar analogy.
Well, yeah, but it's all elective when it comes to the fans of the NFL.
Even you can say, okay, well, the NFL has licensed sponsors, such as Reebok.
Well, fine, but you don't have to go buy Reebok equipment.
And if you don't, you're not contributing to anything, owner or player of the NFL.
But your taxes, your taxes, you have no choice.
Well, you don't have to live in Wisconsin either.
No.
But choosing to not buy a ticket to a football game or whatever is a little bit more realistic than choosing to leave Wisconsin.
But no matter where you go in this country, you have to pay taxes.
And in almost every state, you are paying public sector government workers with your taxes, not just at the state.
You're paying your local employees.
You're paying everybody with your tax dollars.
You just got me going, made me think about this NFL thing for some reason.
But I just thought maybe it might be a decent idea for the fans to get a little representation somehow.
Well, let's explore this.
I don't mind the thinking here.
Think about it.
If you want some representation here, like the governor was the representation for taxpayers in Wisconsin.
So you've got the players and the owners.
They're meeting ostensibly the final time today before the lockout, unless there's another extension at 5 o'clock today.
So if there were a fan representative there representing you and the rest of the fans, what's the case that that representative would make?
Well, on what sort of issues that they might be stuck on, and that the people that are really going to be impacted a lot as well are the fans.
So, I thought maybe we might be able to mediate being on some of the negotiations.
I don't know.
I thought with all that money, all our pool of resources, we might be able to do something with some sort of recording.
Okay, well, let me try it this way: what do you want to happen in these football negotiations?
You want the game to be played, right?
You don't want to lock out.
You don't want a lockout.
So, you want free agency.
You want the draft.
Well, the draft's going to happen.
You want it all.
You want the stuff to, and you, so you want these two sides to come together and come to an agreement.
So, you think seems like there's three sides.
I don't know.
Well, there's actually more than that.
How about the poor people that work at the concession stands on an NFL Sunday?
How about, for example, all of these guys that own sports bars?
I have to tell you, a sports bar owner will tell you that football season is his most profitable.
I don't do any hear this final for college basketball garbage.
The NFL and college football in the fall are what make a sports.
Don't give me World Cup.
Another thing.
How about the Vegas casinos?
How about the sports books?
Look at all the money bet on football.
Look at all this stuff that's going to go dark.
Well, I'm just offering up an idea for some of these people, an umbrella to get under to make sure that we can get this out without a lockout.
I don't know.
Maybe you can get the bar owners and the workers together.
Maybe don't get some in there and get some.
I don't know how it works, Russia.
Yeah, but not all the fans are going to be united.
Some of the fans are going to be on the players' side.
Some of the fans are going to be on the owner's side.
Just assuming that the fans are all going to be aligned into one way of thinking is also a little fallacious.
Whose fault is it?
Whose fault is the envy?
The NFL Sternly wants to know who I think is at fault.
I don't look at this as anybody being at fault.
This is just a dispute.
At some point, it's going to get resolved.
At some point, it's going to settle.
And I'll tell you who's going to lose: the players.
The players, they're facing a loaded gun.
They don't, at the end of the day, have a prayer.
The owner of the Seattle Seahawks has a 414-foot yacht.
The owner of the Seattle Seahawks could support the other owners for a year or two if he wanted to, while the players, nobody on the players has a 414-foot yacht.
I'm not saying it's going to happen.
I'm just saying at the end of the day here, and I don't mean this in a cutting way, but the owners have the ability to outlast the players.
Thing the owners have to be concerned about what this guy's calling about.
If this goes on way long and it appears that these guys are selfish and the press is able to convince people that these billionaires are just greedy and they really don't care anything about themselves, could they lose a lot of the fan base?
Who knows?
You know, baseball went without the World Series.
I mean, they had a walkout, they had a strike, they went without the World Series.
It took steroids to get people back into that game.
You don't might not like hearing that.
You might not like it.
It took sport, steroids, and human growth hormone to make that game exciting enough to get fans back.
Well, look, I just tell you what the truth is.
You go on strike and you cause the World Series not to be played.
And they got it back.
Their stadiums are full now.
They're doing new stadiums are popping up.
But the NFL is number one.
The NFL has taken over as the quote-unquote national pastime.
I don't, frankly, I don't think the owners think the fans are going to go anywhere.
I think at some point the owners know the fans.
Let me tell what the owners are more worried about than anything else, folks.
I'm going to tell you right now, it's high-definition TV, 60-inch screens.
They're worried.
It's much easier than going to the stadium.
Not one question about Wisconsin in the Obama presser.
Not, I don't think there was a question about Wisconsin.
Folks, that's collusion.
You can't tell me that there wasn't one person in the White House press corpse.
There wasn't one person who had any interest in what happened to Wisconsin.
I mean, it was only the news of the week.
It's only big news, big news for the past month.
The Democrat Party and their allies, all in everything they had to stop this, Obama had organizing for America implemented.
They were deployed.
It's over.
Not one question about it.
Now, this tells me that the press corpse was, it might have been suggested that they not broach the subject.
After all, far more important things, the tsunami and earthquake in Japan.
By the way, have you what is the impact these videos make on you when you look at them?
It makes me feel so insignificant.
I mean, to look at this, it makes, and I can't help attaching, you know, political reaction to this.
Here we've got these never-ending scare taxes.
Global warming and raises sea levels and man-made destruction.
And this is a bunch of people sitting around minding their own business.
This is just the earth.
It just happened.
I have no doubt they're going to try to claim global warming had something to do with the earthquake and the tsunami.
Well, of course they will.
That's the only thing they've got is to try to tie natural disasters to what they have been forecasting.
But you look at some of this video and you find out how insignificant we are.
We're powerless.
It's just nothing but good luck that we make it through every day here.
I know there's thousands of people being killed.
That toll right now is 300.
There are thousands.
They're going to be finding bodies here for who knows how long.
It is incredible some of these videos, some of this refuse and debris washing across what looks like agricultural lands, just houses floating in the middle of it, automobiles floating in the middle of it, trash, and nothing in the track can stop it.
Now they're evacuating people near a nuclear plant.
You can say goodbye to any nuclear plants in this country.
This is like China syndrome for real here, even though it had nothing to do with it.
You got a nuclear plant that is in the danger zone here.
But it just, to me, illustrates, man, what it's just sheer luck in many ways that we make it through every day here.
And I'm talking about on the planet.
Now, I will make a prediction to you about blame for this thing.
Make a note here, Snerdley and the rest of you.
This is the 11th of March.
It is Eastern Time, 1:37.
By the way, we go on Daylight Time Saturday night.
Just FYI.
I don't know how long it's going to take, but at some point, fracking will be blamed, particularly maybe fracking in the Dakotas.
Fracking is a way to get oil.
It's a relatively new technique for extracting all from very hard-to-get it from places.
And we're doing it in the United States.
It's only a question of time before somebody, and it doesn't, it could be a Looney Tune that makes the accusation and somebody in the press course go, yeah.
And it will get a whole series of news reports on fracking and the inherent dangers.
And is it possible?
Experts are uncertain at this time, but is it possible that the efforts to claim oil from the Bakken Reserves via fracking had any role in this destructive earthquake in Japan?
You watch.
Because there's not a thing that happens in the world that isn't tied to the left's political agenda or that they don't attempt to link it to their political agenda.
You watch.
It isn't going to be long before we get an analysis of this press conference today and how Obama's reaction to the earthquake helps him in his reelection bid.
It won't be long before we have reporters in Tokyo asking citizens, did you hear what President Obama said?
Did you hear him pledge solidarity and assistance on behalf of the American people?
What message do you have for President Obama?
Don't be surprised when it happens.
Now, if you get out, if you have a globe in your house or your orifice, a miniature planet, go look at it.
Find, if you can, North and South Dakota on your globe.
And then go find Japan and find out where Japan is in relationship to the Dakotas on your globe.
You might find that Japan is on the exact opposite side of the globe from the Dakotas.
It won't take long for a liberal journalist to be pointed in this direction and then to start asking the question.
Remember, the nature of the evidence is not the concern here.
The seriousness of the charge, it won't be long before there's a question.
Could it be?
I mean, we've got to look at all options, Mr. Limbo.
Could it be that fracking in the Dakotas could have played a role here?
Snirdly, don't give me that look.
You know, this is much more likely than it is unlikely.
You do.
That's why you're getting off.
I know how sickening the thought is.
I'm the one that has to come up with it.
But don't doubt me.
Tim in Northwest Ohio, Open Line Friday, your turn.
Thank you for calling.
Hello.
Hey, thanks, Trisha.
I'm a helicopter pilot, and I fly part-time for a coal company in West Virginia.
Thank you, sir.
Flying around the executives.
I hear them talking about different things.
And one of the things that's happening now is the EPA is starting to pull permits from mines in West Virginia.
And the thing that I didn't realize is that we actually export coal.
I knew that we imported it.
Yeah, we actually export it, too.
So you fly, you're a helicopter pilot, you fly part-time for a coal company in West Virginia.
You fly the executives around, and you hear them talking about, how can you hear anything on a helicopter anyway?
You hear them in the headphones?
Oh, yeah.
We got Bose headsets.
No kidding.
They're not as nice as the EIB1, but still, they're very nice.
We have Bose at EIB1, the noise-canceling headphones.
Same thing you've got on your chopper.
Yep.
Yeah.
So, you so these guys know you can hear them then.
They're sitting there and they're talking about the permits and so forth.
EPA's pulling permits from mines in West Virginia.
But what is this about exporting coal?
Well, I mean, you know, we actually have so much stuff in the ground, just like you're talking.
I mean, we got oil, we got coal, we got all sorts of things in the ground that we could get, but we just don't, we're not allowed to go get them.
That's right.
You know, so, you know, we flew by 40 windmills the other day, and it was kind of funny because not one of them was turning.
There was only five knots of wind, and not one was turning.
And one of the comments they made was, you know, if you didn't have to turn the lights on every day, windmills would be great.
Exactly right.
And if you didn't, if you were deaf like I am, you couldn't hear them, why there'd be a panacea?
That's right.
That's right.
Okay, you're right.
You're right.
Instant research here.
We do export coal to China.
We're exporting coal to the Chikoms, and that's ticking off our environmentalist blackos.
Yep.
So, I mean, it's just, it just amazes me how wrong the press gets everything.
And I just, if you don't mind real quick, let me tell you a quick story.
Yeah, but the press gets it wrong because of their sources and who they believe.
What does he want to say?
I just want to say, I was down at Katrina right after it happened.
I was flying a helicopter down there.
There were 300 helicopters down there.
You couldn't have got more helicopters into that airspace without a mid-air.
And, you know, I used to be in the Coast Guard a long time ago, and hoisting people off of roofs takes time.
You could not have got those people out of there any quicker.
And when George Bush came in on Air Force One, everybody was afraid he was going to shut down the airspace, but that man didn't do anything to shut down the airspace.
I flew right by Air Force One, and when he turned to take off on runway, I think it was 2.7 out of Louis Armstrong.
Yep.
He took off, and when that aircraft rotated after going down the runway, you couldn't even see it.
There was so much debris on the runway.
But he came in there anyway.
I'm sure the Secret Service said, no, don't go in there and don't go in there, but I'm sure that he overruled them and went in there anyway.
And they did not change one thing when he came in.
They didn't put up a TFR, a temporary flight restriction for him or anything.
You know, there was obviously already a TFR there for Katrina, but they didn't do anything different just because he was there.
And, you know, I have great respect for the man, and that was another thing the press didn't even mention or talk about.
Well, Tim, I'm glad you called.
I thank you very much.
I'm glad you got through.
Okay, take care, Russell.
All the best and enjoy those Bose headphones.
We'll be right back.
All right, it's official.
There were no questions on Wisconsin asked of the regime at the press conference today.
Now, come on, folks, please.
It's only been the rallying cry of the Democrat Party.
We've only had Obama joining the debate saying we shouldn't vilify or denigrate public sector union people that are our neighbors and so forth.
He got involved as his website, Organizing for America, and organized all of the spittle-flecked protesters.
Not one question, not one statement made by Obama.
Again, let me tell you what this means.
I'll explain it by doing it the opposite way.
Had there been questions and had there been answers, had Obama made a statement, it would have meant that the polling data was clearly on his side, that the Republicans were really taking in his shorts in the polls, and that it was a golden opportunity to hammer this whole business of destroying collective bargaining rights for unions.
If they had polling data that suggests that the Democrats won big in this thing, that would have been 90% of the content of this presser.
And it didn't even come up.
The reason for that has to be: this is Waterloo.
This is Obama's army defeated at Waterloo.
Napoleon didn't have a press conference either after Waterloo.
They must be quaking in their boots over the polling data out of Wisconsin, not just in Wisconsin, but around the country on this.
Don't doubt me.
Stirdly, do not doubt me on this.
If it were otherwise, they would have been beating their chests like Tarzan.
Obama been out there trying to find Jane and Cheetah, and they'd be having a party swinging vine, divine, divine, but no, they can't even bring it up.
Speaking of Jane and Cheetah, there is a sad, sad story here.
I have in the stack of stuff, ladies and gentlemen.
It is not pretty.
It is, in a sense, genuinely, genuinely very sad.
It's from the UK Daily Mail.
Monica Lewinsky, I'm still in love with Bill.
Friends say she's never got married or had kids because she hasn't gotten over Clinton.
Scandal almost destroyed his career, left his presidency permanently tainted.
But 15 years on, Monica Lewinsky hasn't married nor had children because she's still in love with him and always will be.
She is 37.
She has run a successful business.
She's hosted a reality TV show.
She moved overseas, but she has never found love, according to her friends.
Friends said that Monica, this is not the Inquirer, this is the UK Daily Mail.
Monica has still not gotten over Bill.
She would take him back in a second.
She said, there will never be another man in my life that could make me as happy as he did.
Monica still carries a torch for him.
She dated some guys since the whole White House mess, but she's never been able to get Bill out of her heart.
She was 22 in 1995.
When Clinton's memoir, My Lie, came out in 2004.
Ms. Lewinsky spoke of her being upset at its contents to the UK Daily Mail, saying, Rather than being a physical fling, it was a mutual relationship.
And he could have made it right with the book, but he hasn't.
Now, some of you might be saying, what's so sad about this, folks?
You have a 22-year-old intern who was dragged in carrying a pizza box.
We know what happened in there.
President of the United States.
And he celebrated, folks, as God's gift to women.
Still to this day, the stories are about Bill Clinton, rock star.
The stories to this day in the media, whenever Clinton goes somewhere, the Clinton Global Initiative or some wherever, it's always about how the women can't tear themselves away from him.
Big stud.
Well, there's wreckage in the wake here.
The wife of a woman here.
I don't care what you think of Monica Lewinsky, but apparently here, she's still not right after all of this, which happens to everybody.
I understand that.
But here you have a Democrat president and his big allies, the National Association of Gals, the NOW gang, the NAGs, did everything they could to portray this woman as a slut and Paula Jones as well.
I don't know.
Just go out and destroy somebody's life and become an even bigger stud.
Go destroy using the power of your office To titillate and tease, lead on.
Who knows what this woman thinks she was promised?
I know it does blow snurdly.
It's a sad thing.
And I just, look, I know it happens to everybody.
There's nobody who lives that doesn't go through heartbreak.
But in this case, in this case, the CAD is an even bigger hero because he got away with it.
As far as the media is concerned, and of course, other political commentators, no, I don't have any brief for Monica Lewinsky.
I just think this is the kind of thing back in the day, as they always say, when there was a little bit of a more honorable coat of honor, something like this would not make you a bigger star.
Something like that would not make, there'd be a price to pay for this, at least with the chink, the loss, whatever in your reputation.
But that's just the exact opposite.
Hey, Limbaugh, let me tell you something.
I understand what you're trying to say out there, pal.
You think she's the only one?
You ought to try living with me for a week.
My life is littered with Lewinsky's hair everywhere out there.
I can't help it.
I can't help it.
I just go places and they latch onto me.
What am I supposed to do?
Halftime, I don't do anything.
They're throwing their braz at me.
They're throwing their underwear at me.
They say they give me a Lewinsky if I do anything on abortion.
What am I supposed to do?
Hell have my buddies get the rest of them.
I can't help what they say about me.
You better drop it.
You're just jealous, Limbaugh.
That's all this is.
I know it.
I know it.
Hi, welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.
Open Lion Friday.
And by the way, one more thing, Limbaugh.
You know what?
You can go on and on and on about all you want.
You know, Monica Lewinsky, this, and you can talk about Kathleen Willie, but I'm going to tell you what, just remember one name: Mary Joe Kopeckni.
All of mine are still breathing, Limbaugh.
They're still alive.
They still got their chance.
You never bring that up.
You never, not a single time ever, do you talk about that?
