Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24 7 podcast.
Hey, folks, have you have you seen where Facebook?
Uh a Zuckerberg guy has decided to increase the size of their initial public offering by 25%, which could boost their value by 16 billion dollars.
You know, I knew the Rush Babes for America Facebook page was a hit, but I had no idea.
I'm tired of making money for everybody else.
Where's my cut?
We put up the Rush Babes for America Facebook page, and their value goes up 16 billion dollars.
Hi, folks, how are you?
Great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network here, Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, and I do not have a cold.
Sounds like that.
I just up late again.
I just I just here's the deal.
This is what happened.
On Friday afternoon here, I left, which normally I do every day.
I leave.
And I flew to Hawaii, and I was there for 24 hours.
And I flew back to Missouri, and I was there for a while for the uh Hall of Famous Missourians, and I got back here, so I've got time zone, I'm catching up here.
And so when it's jet lagged.
I wouldn't call this jet lag.
I'd I'd call it time zone confusion.
Uh because it's a you know, first place the flight out there was like 10 hours.
And you then you then you get out there and they're six hours behind.
So I left here at uh 3.30 in the afternoon Friday.
I got out there at uh 7.30, something like that.
Well, the night's still young at 7.30.
I didn't go to bed until 5 in the morning.
I stayed up all night.
I was out on the deck, the ocean was what I was reading out there just for whatever, five in the morning, got up five hours later, went and did some stuff, then we left at uh like seven in the morning on Sunday to get back.
That put us in St. Louis at eight o'clock at night.
Uh, then had to uh try to go to bed, get some sleep for the Hall of Famous Missouri.
So anyway, the point of all this is is that I looked up, it was 3 a.m. this morning, and I wasn't sleepy.
But I went to bed anyway, and I shouldn't the the cat was going nuts.
Punkin, I have never seen my cat so mad.
You know these cats.
Pumpkin's now 12 or something, and and I I'm told that when cats get older, they get needier.
Well, that's true in this case.
My little cat will not leave me alone.
If I haven't fed the cat by five in the afternoon, comes and gets me, makes me go feed her.
If I haven't made a move to the bedroom by midnight, here comes the cat, and it's meowing and growling, and it's getting in my face, and it's climbing up on my shoulders as I'm sitting on the sofa.
Uh, jumps down, starts biting my ankles.
I'm not kidding you.
And Kat's doing all that for I'm sitting there for three hours plus and kicker away.
No, pumpkin, leave me alone.
You want to eat again?
Wait a we'll go upstairs in just a second.
I kept putting it off, putting it off.
Kat was literally mad at me.
Uh three years ago, Kat couldn't have cared less.
But now pumpkin's mad at me.
So anyway, I got finally went up and and uh three so I'm not I don't have a cold.
I'm just maybe and I may I may sound totally normal.
I just wanted to.
I sound hoarse.
Well, then that's that's that's uh that's what it is.
Anyway, uh speaking of Facebook, did you see this is not good for the IPO?
General Motors is canceling their ad campaign on um Facebook.
GM plans to stop advertising on Facebook after its marketing executives determined their their paid ads had little impact on consumers.
This is a Wall Street Journal report that's a disappointing development just days ahead of Facebook's IPO.
Now, isn't this so GM puts some ads on Facebook and they don't work, and you blame Facebook.
You blame for what I don't know what they were advertising.
It could well be that nobody by the way, this is another General Motors, Obama's sitting around saying that uh they fully repaid their loans and they're profitable.
We bailed them out to the tune of a hundred billion dollars, And they're worth 34 billion.
There's no way that what's being reported about General Motors.
And by the way, just so everybody knows everybody here wants General Motors to succeed.
Nobody delights in saying this.
But they're pulling out, they're putting out misinformation about this about how Obama's bailout has worked, and it's a great example of how government can save a private sector business.
That has not happened.
No, I was not staying up late waiting for Obama to call to congratulate me on getting into the Missouri Hall of Famous Missourians.
I've told you before the phone rang, I wouldn't answer it anyway.
I do not use the telephone.
When the phone rings at home, I don't answer it.
Pure and simple.
Developments in the Trayvon Martin case, and you'd be hard pressed to find these developments out there.
There have been two dramatic developments in the Trayvon Martin shooting case.
According to ABC News, George Zimmerman's family doctor saw him the morning after the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
Here's what George Zimmerman's doctor found.
A broken nose, two black eyes, bruises on his face and lip, two cuts on the back of his head, and a back injury.
The NBC affiliate in Florida is reporting that the medical director who performed the autopsy on Trayvon Martin found only two injuries on his body.
The gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.
Welcome to the Duke Lacrosse case all over again.
Everything Zimmerman said about what happened to him turns out to be true after the media trying to cast him along with the civil rights coalitions in this country to race baiters as abject lies.
What do you mean not rush to judgment?
It's only been how long is it two months.
I'm not speculating.
I'm telling you what the doctor said.
There's no speculation going on.
The doctor's not speculating.
The doctor did the exam the day after the incident happened.
It's all been suppressed.
Nobody's reported it, that's the point.
And there wasn't even an immediate curiosity about it.
Now, I'm not a forensic scientist.
And I don't guess on matters like that.
I don't have to guess.
The facts are here.
It's kind of hard not to connect the dots.
Now, all of this information is coming out.
You know why it's coming out?
Because we're in the discovery phase of the Zimmerman trial, where each side has to show the other side what evidence they have.
But you really have to wonder here, folks, why none of this came out before in the prosecutor's charging affidavit.
Can we go back to that?
The charging affidavit, which remember, uh uh Dershowitz at Harvard said it was an embarrassment.
It wouldn't survive the first inspection by a judge, but it did.
But he said it was pathetic, it was unprofessional.
I happened, remember this?
I happen to report what Dershowitz said, and my own affiliate in Jacksonville called the attorney and thought, what do you think of what Limbaugh said about your charging document?
None of this is in the charging document or the affidavit.
I thought that the state was obligated or obliged anyway to provide all the relevant details in a case to the judge.
But apparently I was mistaken.
But anyway, as I said, uh uh ladies and gentlemen, news media seem to be ignoring these developments.
I mean, they're out there, they're touched on a little bit by ABC.
But the news that I just gave you has barely been mentioned on the cable news channels.
I don't watch it, but I'm told that MSNBC only got around to reporting this about an hour ago.
And they ran a banner at the bottom of the screen that said proof of self-defense.
Trayvon Martin, family lawyer calls medical reports suspicious.
So the doctor puts out his report, Zimmerman's doctor, and now MSNBC is saying he might be a liar.
And they have to because they got to cover their own rear ends the way they reported this.
I don't know if Zimmerman's doctor is a white Hispanic.
Uh, Mr. Snertley.
But you really have to wonder here.
When the news media began to lose interest in the Trayvon Martin story, because you know they did.
They lost interest in the Trayvon.
They were going a hundred and fifty miles an hour on this story, and then all of a sudden they dropped it like a hot potato.
And you have to wonder why they did that.
Um was it when they found out that George Zimmerman is actually Hispanic and a Democrat to boot?
Was it when Trayvon Martin's gangster-like tweets surfaced along with the more recent photos of him with his gold teeth?
Maybe the news media just afraid of whipping up ra no, never mind, they do like to whip up racial strife.
But they didn't even proceed under that rubric.
They just dropped this case like a hot potato.
Another detail that has come out in local reports.
Zimmerman's grandfather was black.
That's exactly right.
That has also surfaced.
I wonder how long all of this stuff has been known by our friends in the drive-by media.
George Zimmerman has more black in him than Elizabeth Warren has Indian, exactly right.
I had never heard that before, but assuming that that's true, George Zimmerman is a heck of a lot more black than Elizabeth Warren is Indian, exactly as you stated, Mr. Snertley.
In fact, in fact, what?
Well, you have a question.
He's uh he's a um yeah, he's a black, white history.
In fact, here I have the I have the perfect way, given our current uh culture and the president, the way he weighs in on things, the perfect way now to describe George Zimmerman.
If all this is true, and just going by the photos that we've seen of Zimmerman, I'd almost have to say that if Obama had another son, he would look a hell of a lot like George Zimmerman.
All right, I minor.
Minor correction here.
It was Zimmerman's mother's grandfather who was black, which would make it his great grandfather.
Zimmerman's great grandfather was black.
It still makes him more black than Elizabeth Warren is Indian.
And you believe we're talking about people this way.
You believe we have to categorize this people this way.
And we are simply reacting.
This is the way the left, this is the way the media, this is the way Obama, the Democrat Party look at people and categorize them.
New York Times calls George Zimmerman a white Hispanic.
This is absurd.
The way the left, I mean, all this attention they claim they have to the humanity of people.
All of this compassion, they don't have the slightest bit of humanity when it comes to people.
They simply look at them as faceless colors of skin, sexual orientation, gender, all of that.
That's how they see them.
Victims, minorities, as far as their humanity doesn't matter.
And by the way, here's another thing.
In spite of, in addition to everything you've heard now from Zimmerman's doctor about all of his injuries, and about Trayvon Martin with bruised knuckles that were discovered in the autopsy.
The FBI, which is part of Eric Holder's Justice Department, is planning to charge George Zimmerman with a hate crime.
I'm going to go ahead and move.
The prosecutors claim, and this is the local prosecutor in Florida, claim that Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin.
Not only did he profile Trayvon Martin, he stalked Trayvon Martin before killing.
And unlike the charge of second degree murder, this hate crime, if he's convicted of it, could get Zimmerman executed.
So apparently noticing a stranger in your neighborhood is profiling and following the stranger to see what he's up to is stalking.
And they both are hate crimes according to the Obama regime.
Even though the article mentions in passing Zimmerman's mother's grandfather's black.
Again, I had not heard that detail.
So in all of this now, every aspect of the case that George Zimmerman told seems to be true.
His doctor with a long list of major injuries incurred by Zimmerman.
Bruised knuckles and the gunshot wound for Trayvon Martin.
And they're going after Zimmerman now for a hate crime because the local prosecutor used the word profile in her charging affidavit.
The affidavit that Alan Dershowitz said was inferior.
Yeah, I'll get to that in just a second.
Well, no, let's go ahead and do it now.
Grab audio soundbite number three.
There was an election in Nebraska.
And another establishment Republican went down the tubes.
Nebraska State Senator Deb Fisher won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in a race against the Attorney General John Brunning last night.
She wrote a burst of late momentum to pull off an unexpected victory.
And it was it really was stunning.
I mean, it was a major surprising come from behind victory.
And as it's reported here in the Politico, it amounts to a warning flair about the volatility of the primary season, the unintended impact of outside groups like the Tea Party.
Deb Fisher is a rancher, little known state lawmaker, endorsed by Sarah Palin.
It's reported that Deb Fisher maintained a positive above the fray tone while Bruning and the state treasurer Don Stenberg, who was the Tea Party candidate, consistently traded blistering barbs.
She also benefited from a flurry of outside spending against Bruning, who was the front-running establishment favorite for more than a year, watched his polling lead evaporate during the final week.
And Bruning, the Republican establishment chosen candidate, he's the one who lost.
The uh the primary opponent before Deb Fisher surfaced was the state treasurer Don Stenberg.
Now, there are some potentially misleading aspects of this.
Deb Fisher began her surge last week.
Palin then endorsed her.
Sarah Palin late in the race, endorsed Deb Fisher.
After that, Herman Cain endorsed Deb Fisher.
Now, some people are speculating that Governor Palin endorsed Fisher to be in solidarity with the Mama Grizzlies coalition women.
Others are saying that she wanted to wait to see if Deb Fisher really had any legs here and did have a possibility of winning this thing.
You know, Palin gets criticized even by people on our side.
She endorsed the winner.
But some people, and it's it's par for the course.
The Republican Party here is in a state of, I wouldn't call it, well, at the establishment base, they might, they might level they might think they're in some turmoil.
But Herman Kane also endorsed, and Herman is uh trying to say that his endorsement put Deb Fisher over the top as well.
But the the people and uh other people involved in this were people like Jim Dement, the Tea Party or the Club for Growth, Freedom Works, our great Tea Party sponsor here, a lot of other Tea Party and taxpayer groups had tried to help Stenberg.
Stenberg was the Tea Party candidate, not Deb Fisher.
Now I'm not condemning anybody here.
I'm not condemning Palin.
I'm not I'm just trying to fill you in on this because this is way off the radar.
Nobody had heard of Deb Fisher before this last week.
Nobody was paying much attention.
Everybody, of course, focusing on Indiana, Richard Murdoch versus Luger.
But here you have another effervescent bubble up from the bottom up, not from the top-down victory.
It's emblematic of what's happening throughout the country on the Republican side.
This is why it's so exciting for a lot of people.
This is happening, bubbling up from the grassroots.
The top-down from the establishment ordering results isn't going their way.
There are variety of motivations here among all of these people.
But the establishment candidate, Bruning, lost, and that's what the Tea Party and others are taking note of.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution, Rush Limbaugh behind the Golden EIB microphone.
I read to you a little bit from the political on this election in Nebraska.
Democrats argued that Deb Fisher's surprising win provides them a better chance at holding the seat.
Looks like she's going to be up against Bob Carey, the former Senator from Nebraska.
So the Democrats think that Fisher be a weak candidate.
Provide them a better chance at holding the seat, mainly because she's untested and undefined.
However, public polling taken ahead of the primary has shown Deb Fisher defeating Carrie by double digits.
Double digits.
Polling.
It's gotten so bad for the Democrats that they are now out attacking samples, attacking the veracity of polls and polling data, particularly the New York Times poll from yesterday.
Republicans outnumber Democrats by about 170,000 and presumptive nominee Mitt Romney, expected to route Obama in the state.
So with 170,000 more Republicans, double-digit polling lead for Deb Fisher before the election over Kerry.
The Democrats are running around putting, oh man, we're grad this rookie woman won.
Gives us a great shot.
Now, a brief question these troglodite conservatives hate women so much.
Why do they keep voting for them?
You know, Republicans have this war on women going on.
How in the hell would they keep electing women like Deb Fisher in Nebraska if there's a major war on women?
Now, just to review this.
Deb Fisher began surging last week.
Sarah Palin endorsed her late.
Herman Kane then endorsed Fisher after Palin did.
The Club for Growth, Jim Dement, Freedom Works, other Tea Party and taxpayer groups had tried to help Stenberg win the nomination.
So some people are saying that the Tea Party candidate finished third in this race.
That would be Stenberg.
And that's not the way to look at this.
It's the way a lot there's a and don't fall for that in the media because what's happening is, of course, the Tea Party is feared by the media and by the Democrats.
There are 47 different Tea Party organizations all over the country.
They do not have a single leader.
They do have this what Freedomworks does.
They do have a connector website that puts all these people together.
They help share information and resources.
The really wild thing about this Nebraska election, remember the establishment candidate was Mr. Bruning, and he lost decades.
That's the news.
Both uh Stenberg and Deb Fisher are conservative.
The way to look at this is, and the really wild thing about the Nebraska election is that there were actually two candidates supported by conservatives and Tea Party types.
And still, There were enough conservative votes to beat the establishment guy.
In other words, in the old days, with two conservatives up against the establishment guy, the conservatives would split the vote, water it down, dilute it, both lose, the establishment guy would win.
In this case, even though the conservative vote was split between Stenberg and Fisher, one of those two won Fisher.
And it reminds me what happened in Wisconsin last week during the uh the primary there to recall Scott Walker.
You got two Democrats on the ballot vying for the quote unquote opportunity to oppose Walker in the real election on June the 5th.
More Republicans showed up to vote for Scott Walker.
And he didn't need any votes that day.
I mean, he was on the ballot.
That's clear.
But there wasn't any need for him to win anything that day.
He was going to be the candidate on the Republican ticket, the June 5th election anyway.
And despite that, more Republicans showed up to vote for Walker, who didn't need a single vote than Democrats who showed up.
Now the DNC has taken all the money out of Wisconsin.
The Democrat National Committee is taking all money out of Wisconsin.
They're seeding this, essentially.
And look what we were told going into this.
All of this union money and all of the organization and the White House and the DNC stunt Walker's toast, we're told.
Again, conventional wisdom from the inside beltway types.
There's a, you know, the Obama ad that is running against Romney Bain Capitol, which even Democrats are saying is a bad ad because it's misleading.
It attacks Romney for things that Bain did when Romney wasn't even there.
That ad is not running in Missouri.
Missouri was considered to be a swing state.
The Democrats are deciding not already to spend any money in Missouri.
People are now asking, maybe Missouri's being taken out of the Obama column.
Maybe, maybe the Missouri being a toss-up or swing state, maybe maybe it's gone.
The Tea Party slash conservative vote is so strong in Nebraska, it can't be diluted.
And in each of these elections, what I'm seeing is a passion and an energy to show up and vote and be counted on the Republican slash conservative side that we haven't seen in a while.
You look at what happened to Wisconsin, you look what happened in Indiana.
I'm telling you, the one thing I know, well, uh, I practically know everything, so I sort of one thing I am the many things I know is the grassroots of the conservative movement in this country.
I know how ticked off they are.
I know how scared they are about where this country has been taken and where it'll go.
I know that these people are fed up with the Republican establishment.
They are fed up with the go-along to get along.
They're fed up with hearing about crossing the aisle, they're fed up hearing about all this talk of compromise.
They want to beat the Democrats.
They want to show act the Democrats.
They want the Democrats to be a minority party in as many places in this country as that is possible.
And they are willing to show up and vote to make that happen.
And every in primaries, wherever, every opportunity that they have, they're doing that.
They're not winning everything.
Nobody does.
But the statements that they are making are profound.
And by the way, now the regime, there are a couple stories in the stack here, and this is such a trick.
There's a story about health care, about how if it's repealed, some people are going to lose a trillion dollars, the health care organizations so forth.
They are counting money they don't even have yet, and assuming they're going to lose it.
The whole point is to make sure they don't get the trillion dollars because we don't have it.
In the meantime, a Catholic organization, school church, whatever it is, Catholic small university has uh canceled its health care plan because it will not implement the demands of Obama on contraception.
And so people that have their health care plans through that Catholic organization are going to lose their health care.
And the point of that is that Obama's out there promising everybody, if you like your plan, you get to keep it.
That was one of his big sales pitches during the whole debate leading up to the vote on Obamacare.
And it certainly isn't true.
It's the Franciscan University of Steubenville.
They're out of there.
And everybody who has health insurance through the Franciscan University of Steubenville is going to lose it because they refuse to implement and compromise their religious independence and liberty.
They refuse to implement Obama's health care rules on contraception.
So people there are going to lose their plan.
They like their plan, they're going to lose it.
But this Catholic organization is staying true to its vows, if you uh if you will.
Let me take a brief time out here, folks.
We'll come back, grab a phone call or two in just a moment.
We're just getting started, just getting revved up, sit tight.
By the way, the Franciscan University Steubenville saying Obamacare is going to triple their costs, the cost of premiums.
Obamacare will triple the cost of premiums.
They can't afford it.
The people that work for them and get their health care through them can't afford it.
They're out of there.
Now the media is trying to make this sound like it's just a matter of the Catholics being stubborn.
The Catholics stubbornly sticking to their beliefs.
In an old-fashioned, worn out, out of touch manner.
And plus, of course, they're being stubborn because they have this silly point they want to prove about Obama.
So this church, this university, sticking to its guns, its vows, its principles, under assault now from the mainstream media.
But the university, the Franciscan University of Steubenville, said that the students' basic $600 policy was going to double in cost in the fall and triple next year, and that the school's insurance provider said the increases were the result of the Federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
That's Obamacare.
Premiums will triple $600 to $1,800 by next year, unless the thing is repealed.
Now, there's a there's a you know Grover Norquist has his no tax pledge.
There's uh there's a group.
Um there was another group uh sitting in the city um.
I think the group out there has a repeal Obamacare pledge that they're asking candidates to sign.
Deb Fisher signed it.
And so that group is making hey, that their uh repeal Obamacare pledge is resonating with voters.
Uh but the point is no matter where you go, there are people actively working to get this repealed thrown out, defeated, what have you.
Something like Deb Fisher comes along.
There are a lot of people who want to claim responsibility for it.
You know, success has many fathers.
Failure is an orphan.
But the fact of the matter is that as we get closer and closer to the reality of Obamacare being fully implemented, people are rising up in every which way they can to say no to it and to stop it.
And this Franciscan University of Steubenville is just one example of countless hundreds of thousands that will have the same thing happen to them.
Everybody's premiums are gonna go up.
Maybe not triple, maybe quadruple in some cases.
They're gonna go up, they're gonna skyrocket, and if you like your plan, you are not gonna be able to keep it because what is proven here by the Franciscan University of Steubenville.
Do not doubt me on this.
The whole purpose, and you know this.
We talked about this before Obamacare was even voted on.
One of the philosophical, well, not substantive objectives of Obamacare is to wipe out the private sector health insurance industry.
Obamacare and the Democrats want single payer.
They want government-run, government-sponsored, government paid for health care.
They want you having no other option than a federal or state exchange for your health insurance.
But they can't come out and say that.
They wouldn't get a single vote for it on a Republican.
Well, they get some Democrat votes for it, but they can't come out and say that they want to eliminate the option for citizens to buy health insurance in the private market.
So what do they do?
That's the purpose of the fines, by the way, for not having health insurance.
The fines are so low you choose the fine rather than buy.
You can't Obama said to the SCIU, but he said, we can't do this all at once.
It's going to take us 10 or 15 years to make this happen through uh uh evolution.
It's just gonna have to evolve to this point.
But the reason the fines are so low early on is to make the fines more attractive than having a policy.
If a policy costs you $1,500 and the fine costs you $500, what are you gonna do?
If you're young, especially, you're gonna buy the $500, pay the $500 fine.
But you're not buying insurance, therefore you are not in the market, therefore an insurance company is not benefiting from your fine, the government is.
The whole point of this is to wipe out the private sector insurance industry.
And having universities like the Franciscan University Stubenville pull out is exactly the objective.
Here's uh Brad in Providence, Rhode Island, as we start in the phones.
Hi, Brad.
Glad you called.
Great to have you here.
Thanks for taking my call.
Uh listen, seems like Palin has the golden touch.
First uh knocking out Rhino Lugar in Indiana, and now at least uh greatly contributing to the Dev Fisher long shot victory in Nebraska.
Yet the GOP establishment and uh team Romney and even some conservative media seem to be doing everything they can do to distance the 2012 campaign from Palin, even rewriting history that uh Palin was a negative for McCain and 08.
Well uh in reality, you probably know Palin was the only thing McCain had going for him and he probably would have worked for it now for the financial meltdown and bad advice by Schmidt.
Now the thing is now there's even repeated stories in the media that Romney's looking for the anti-palin is v.
Well, I know that's that's that's the what's really going on is that the consultants from the 08 McCain campaign are trying to protect their reputations.
Yeah.
They're looking for somebody like a loser Dole Pallenty.
Now, I'm not I'm not saying Palin would even accept.
But Romney should publicly consider Palin for VEEP.
Well, no, no, no, one of that that isn't I uh I I can't see that.
What what's happening is the consultants.
This this 08 McCain campaign, the consultants tried to make Sarah Palin into something she's not.
I've seen this in my own business.
I can't tell you.
Well, you see it in in in every business.
You see it in uh uh particularly talent businesses, but they tried to plug Palin into establishment Republican holes, and they didn't let her be palin.
And so the whole thing, you're you're right, she's the only reason the McCain campaign had any energy, but these consultants trying to protect their reputations and their paychecks, because they don't want to be tagged with the reason McCain lost.
They want to dump that off on Palin.
They want to blame Palin.
This is I don't want to name names here, but there's a whole lot of Republican consultants, ran the McCain campaign, botched it.
They want, and and by the way, campaign consultants, Republican or Democrat, they are their own clique.
They are their own club.
They look out for each other.
Republican or Democrat.
It's an inside the Beltway club.
And so they've all joined together to make sure that the two consultants, two or three of them, don't take the hit on McCain's loss.
So what the palin bashing that everybody's seeing now.
Don't repeat for the vice president.
Don't repeat the palin mistake.
Do not make the same mistake that McCain made.
You've got to pick somebody with a brain.
You gotta pick somebody that knows what's going on.
You can't pick a blithering idiot.
This is the kind of undertones of what advisors are telling, and they're saying it publicly.
Uh, and and this is done for one reason well, they're trying to impugn Palin, obviously, but they're trying to protect their own reputations so that they will continue to get hired by Republicans to run candacies down the road.
This is why grassroots conservatives have lost respect for the Republican establishment, because it's all about them.
It's not about the ideas anymore.
It's all about these people protecting their own turf while the country's going down the tubes, and the people want to save the country to hell with these people's jobs right now, particularly if they botch them.
The only war on women that I have seen being fought in the Republican Party is the GOP elite war against Sarah Palin.
That's the only war on women I see being conducted.
Anyway, we'll be right back, folks.
