Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
99 days, folks.
99 days.
Count them 99 days before the election.
If you are a welfare recipient, that's just a little more than three checks.
Maybe we shouldn't remind people.
Well, yeah, it's new, and they're up.
We shouldn't remind people on welfare when the election is.
That may not be something we want to actually do.
Sorry about that, folks.
I'm not saying, hi, Rachel.
Rachel's in here today.
Great to have you here, folks.
I hope you had a good weekend.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, and the email address, El Rushbo at EIBNet.com.
I am Rush Limbaugh.
This is EIB, and we're coming up on our 24th year as the soundtrack of your conservative life.
24 years it will be.
I can't say that.
There are days, it feels like it was just yesterday.
And then there are other days, it seems like it's been 24 years.
And there are other days, I asked, has it been worth it?
Really?
I can't even begin to describe all the emotions I go through.
But 25, 24 years, just one year away from 25.
You watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics on Friday?
I did.
Yeah, we did.
We watched it.
We gathered.
We gathered at my big 16-foot screen.
I figured if I'm going to be assaulted and insulted by a bunch of British collectivists, I may as well go all in.
So I fired up the big screen, the 16-foot.
I didn't want to look at the simple little five-foot screen.
I fired up the big mama.
And I had Catherine in there, and her mom and dad are in town, and we watch this.
And her mom and dad are in town.
You know, I kind of dial back on the political commentary, but I couldn't help it.
I couldn't help it when they started honoring the freaking National Health Service.
Now, the guy who put together the opening ceremony, Danny Boyle, who produced Slum Dog Millionaire, the movie, he's a big leftist.
They made no secret of this.
They actually pulled working nurses out of the hospitals to have them participate in the opening ceremony.
They honored the Industrial Revolution.
They honored unions.
This guy decided, okay, we're going to put an opening ceremony here today of what is good and righteous about the United Kingdom.
And as we're watching this, and I'm watching this recreation or recreation of the Industrial Revolution, I had these giant smokestacks that came out of the ground.
I said, ah, here we go.
Global warming, pollution.
I started nudging Catherine.
I said, here we go.
We're going to get preached to a bunch of commie collectivists and so forth.
She's no politics.
Okay, okay.
So I dialed it back.
And then the National Health Service thing came.
And I have all the things that you want to honor about.
I mean, the people of Great Britain don't even like the National Health Service.
And then it hit me.
And then it hit me.
It was actually done on behalf of President Kardashian.
They did it for Obama.
Nobody will convince me otherwise.
I mean, they had the cover of doing this and honoring Great Britain, the opening ceremony, but we got a presidential election coming up three checks away for you welfare recipients.
And they honor the National Health Service.
And we're in the midst of a giant controversy here about, here, listen to Matt Wauer and Meredith Vieira, who they got back out of mothballs for this to help co-anchor with Matt Wauer.
And here they are as the National Health Service is being honored.
This is how NBC covered it.
Back in the States, you might be saying, wait a second, we're locked in this kind of partisan debate over the future of health care in our own country.
Here, they feel so strongly about their health care system.
They're actually celebrating it as part of the Olympic Open Ceremony.
These folks that you're seeing here, the doctors and nurses, they really are doctors and nurses from the National Health Service, dedicated their lives to helping others.
This has to be a great moment of pride.
I'm watching this.
I was in a stunned disbelief until I realized what the purpose of this was.
No, there wasn't a whole lot of recognition of World War II.
There was maybe a little bit of the First World War, World War I, but no, no, not much.
There was nothing about colonialism, obviously.
There was nothing about, I don't remember them doing anything on church.
The queen was there, and they cut to the queen a couple times.
She looked like she was clueless.
She looked like she didn't know what was going on.
And who could blame her?
Who could blame her?
It just went on and on.
And the parachute.
Now, that was clever.
That was clear.
I don't know how they got the queen to do this, but Daniel Craig, James Mond, actually shows up at Buckingham Palace and walks in, and the queen's part of the skit, and she's working in some papers and so forth.
And he's standing by her, waiting for her to finish.
And she finishes, okay, Mr. Bond, let's go.
And they get a helicopter.
And then they reenact as though leaving Buckingham Palace to helicopter over to the opening ceremonies.
Some parachutists jumped out dressed as the queen, exactly as she was dressed.
And they timed it after the parachutist lands outside the stadium.
Next thing you see is the queen entering the stadium and heading to her royal box.
Yeah, it was, it was, and it was, I think it was the stuff in the Buckingham Palace was actually the queen.
They were able to pull it off.
Now, NBC, one thing they didn't do, they're catching a lot of heat about what they did.
It's gone past now, but they were catching a lot of heat about the editing of the opening ceremonies because the sports division, I wonder if they hired a guy that edited the George Zimmerman 9-11 tapes based on what happened here, because one of the things that NBC cut out of their coverage of the ceremonies was a tribute to the victims of London's 7-7 attacks, the terror attacks.
Remember, there was no mention of the Munich disaster, 1972 Olympics, where the Israeli team was slaughtered.
Wanted a moment of silence for that, didn't get that.
52 people were killed back in 2005 in the 7-7 attacks.
And NBC is claiming they cut that tribute.
They did do that tribute in the opening ceremonies.
NBC didn't cover it.
They cut it out of there.
NBC said they cut the tribute because it didn't involve American victims.
Now, I suspect the real reason, ladies and gentlemen, was more of a matter of it involving Muslim terrorists.
They probably didn't want to cover.
NBC probably didn't want to cover At part of the opening ceremony that would remind people of Islamic terrorists.
So that was cut out.
And why?
You know, it's interesting.
My friend Andrew McCarthy wrote a book called A Grand Jihad, How Islam and the Left Sabotage America.
And it's McCarthy's theory that liberalism and Islam are very closely related.
Now, I've mentioned this to people.
Well, get the book if you really want to get it down and dirty because it's excellent.
But stop and think of it this way.
Have you noticed that liberals really are non-plussed by Islamic terrorism?
It really doesn't seem that it's something they want to cover up.
It's something that they really don't want to focus on.
And the NBC cutting it out was sort of an indication.
And it may well be, is it just a theory, ladies and gentlemen?
But one of the reasons that leftists are non-plussed by militant Islam may be the idea.
I mean, look at what it is.
Especially if you go all the way to Sharia.
It's an all-encompassing, intrusive, uniform, mandatory instruction manual detailing how everybody should dress, how everybody should eat, how everybody should live, how everybody should work, how everybody should play, and what to worship.
Now, doesn't that sound like liberalism?
Doesn't it sound like, just philosophically, doesn't it sound like liberalism?
And that's the point of McCarthy's book.
Not new, but it's been out a while.
The Grand Jihad, How Islam and the Left Sabotage America.
Liberalism is all-encompassing, intrusive, uniform instruction manual, detailing for everybody what they should eat, how to live, how to work, how to play, what to worship, just as Islam is.
I've always said, you know, Sean Penn, some of these idiots, oh, guess what?
You know why I didn't find this out till yesterday?
Wait a minute, this is Monday.
Oh, it might have been Saturday I found out about it.
I, who would believe this?
I found myself in the midst of a Twitter controversy, and I didn't even tweet anything with the renowned rapper Iced T. Ice-T apparently was not happy with my comments.
We played a soundbite of Iced T last week, in which he was very concerned about gun control.
He said, you have to be able to shoot the police.
You have to be able to defend yourself against the police.
And guns are the last protection we have against tyranny.
I remember saying, well, I'm kind of proud of Mr. T.
I didn't know that he knew what tyranny was.
Apparently, that set him off.
That set him off.
I'm a racist pig, SOB.
All this stuff was being tweeted.
And I didn't even know about it until my brother sent me a note, including a link to a video that Curtis Sleewa had done defending me, which is hilarious.
Here I am involved in a controversy with Ice T and I don't even know it.
All because I'm, I remember I even, you know, we told us to remember him on Nightline with Ted Coppel and Iced T's in character, the angry guy from the hood with the scowl.
I forget what the issue was.
Some riot was going on.
Ted Coppel wanted to get to the bottom of it.
And he kept calling him Mr. Tom and I was laughing myself silly.
Because Ice T owned it.
I mean, he's got these guys totally intimidated.
But apparently, since I joked, he didn't know what tyranny was, he got mad and called me racist.
But the funny thing about Ice-T, he had a rap song called Cop Killer.
Remember?
And I think that's really what he was doing on Nightline.
And it's kind of ironic that he's on Law and Order SVU playing a cop, earning a living playing a cop.
You would think that his fans would think he's selling out from cop killer to earning a living playing a cop.
But that's just me.
I found out that I was in that controversy over the week and I didn't even know about it.
And now I'm in a controversy with Romney.
Newsweek magazine.
Tina Brown's magazine, now by Barry Diller.
Newsweek, the Wimp Factor.
Is Romney just too insecure to be president?
Is Romney just too insecure to be president?
Now, that's the newsweek.
Let me show it up here very quickly.
I'm not going to zoom in.
I don't have time, but there it is.
There's the Newsweek cover, right?
Now, I want to take you back.
I want to take you back October 1987, Newsweek.
Same magazine, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush fighting the wimp factor.
They're just recycling.
Tina Brown is simply recycling a 1987 cover, George Bush running for president the first time, taking over for Ronaldo's Magnus, fighting the WIMP factor.
And now here at Romney.
Romney, the Wimp Factor.
Is he just too insecure to be now?
What is this about?
Well, let's go to the audio soundbites and find out.
This morning on CNN, starting point.
The hostess, Soledad O'Brien, spoke with the guy who wrote the story that Romney is just too insecure to be president, Michael Tomaski.
And she said, you think you create a strong argument for the wimp factor as opposed to a personal attack framed around the wimp factor?
The heart of the piece centers on the positions that he takes, the way that he has pandered so consistently on important, important issues, issues on which we'd like to see our politicians have some kind of consistency, some kind of backbone.
He's repeatedly just changed positions completely and pandered totally to the right wing.
When Rush Limbaugh says jump, he says how high.
I think it's a fair question to ask.
Is this the kind of person that we want to see in the White House?
How lame is this?
You people can't fool us.
You people at Newsweek are pathetic.
You recycle something from 1987.
It's just a theme.
You guys have your playbook.
It's divided by years.
You think enough years have gone by.
You had a cover back in 1987.
George H.W. Bush wimp.
Let's go forward to 2012.
Mitt Romney Wimp.
And because when I say jump, he asks how high.
This is, let me tell you what this is, folks.
This is an attempt by Newsweek to soften you up.
This is not aimed at Democrat voters.
This is aimed at you, Romney the flip-flopper.
And the reason they're doing this is because Romney is being profoundly successful in refuting and keeping alive Obama's idiocy.
You didn't build that.
You didn't make that happen.
You didn't do that.
That got really under their skin.
So now it's time to go after Romney.
But to throw me in here, I've never called Romney and I've never said jump.
Not yet.
I haven't done that.
But this is all part of the plan.
Calling Romney a wimp is aimed at suppressing the white blue-collar vote.
Blue-collar voters hate wimps.
You know, the working white Americans that Obama has abandoned and now whose votes they're trying to suppress, this is all about trying to make those people think that Romney is a wuss.
That's why they're getting Clinton to go to the convention to get some gravitas and to also try to suppress the working white vote that is abandoning Obama.
I have to take a break.
Sit tight.
We'll be back and continue after this.
El Rushbo and a brand new week of Broadcast Texas.
I got a great email.
Dear Rush, during the Olympics opening ceremony and the tribute to the National Health Service, did they depict long lines of people waiting for hip and knee replacements?
Did they depict the dentists on strike?
Did they show rationing of medicines?
Did they depict jets filled with British patients flying to the United States for treatment?
No, they didn't do any of that.
Of course they didn't do any of that.
But the National Health Service in Great Britain is a joke.
The people that live there don't even like it.
This was a pure tribute to collectivism, a pure tribute to, look, I'm using collectivism instead of the other C word, but it fits as well.
You know, and you really have to laugh, the desperation here of Tina Brown and the people at Newsweek and trying to portray Romney as a wimp.
We've all seen Obama throw a baseball.
He looks not even as good as an average girl throwing a baseball.
And he went out there, I think it was in Washington, throwing out ceremonial first pitch, or maybe it was Chicago Kaminsky Field, as he says, wearing mom jeans.
Guy goes out there wearing mom jeans and looks like a girl.
And there's a new book out, by the way, by a guy named Richard Mineter.
It's called Leading from Behind, and it's about how Obama's a wimp.
It's about how it required three efforts to get him to pull the trigger to get bin Laden.
He canceled the bin Laden kill three times at the urging of a woman, Valerie Jarrett.
The idea that Romney is a wimp.
I hate having to even spend time on this, but they bring it up.
You got to deal with it.
And if anybody, if anybody comes off as a wimp in American politics, you got to send Bill Clinton in there to cover for Obama's wimpishness.
It really is a laugh.
Try to remember Newsweek calling George H.W. Bush a wimp.
Bush was the youngest fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy, World War II.
I don't know how many close combat missions he shot.
He was shot down in the Pacific.
Until very recently, he used to celebrate his birthday with jumping out of airplanes.
He didn't use his stunt double.
I was there one year when he did it.
So the year I met Gorbachev, a year that birthmark of Gorbachev's ended up on my forehead for a day.
That was in Houston.
I mean, it really is a stretch to call Romney wimp and to throw me in there.
I don't give Romney orders.
I'll tell you, folks, what this really is all about is something we started discussing last week: the effort to suppress Romney voters.
That's all they can do.
That literally is all they've got.
And James Carville in the Weekly Standard, it's been reported fundraising email.
It was sent out by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee.
And Carville had a serious warning.
He said, we're going to have to go through hell and high water to win that damn thing.
We have to go to hell and high water.
And the remedy, of course, is to send more money to the Democrats.
And I wish I had good news for you.
I want to tell you that President Obama has a second term in the bag.
I want to tell you that the Koch brothers are giving up their plot to buy this election.
But it's not, and we're going to go through hell and high water.
They have nothing they can do.
They've got nothing they can do to promote Obama, nothing about his record, as you know.
So they really can do nothing more than try to suppress elements of the population that are going to vote for Romney.
I mean, even Dan Rather, this wimp business, Beltway Confidential.
Dan Rather went to his Facebook page to complain that the presidential race is flat.
It's uninteresting.
And it's even boring.
Dan Rather said that neither of these candidates seems to really like or have a deep passion for campaigning.
He said that Romney and Obama were nothing like LBJ, Hubert Humphrey, Ronaldus, Magnus, Bill Clinton.
He said, I can't remember a campaign when both major party candidates seem to dislike campaigning as much as these two.
Noting that the conventions were about to begin, Rather speculated maybe Romney or Obama would get enthusiastic soon.
Obama's more likely to than Romney, in my opinion, Rather said.
He had the mojo the last time, but he's lost it somewhere along the way.
So Dan Rather concerned.
And Obama has lost the mojo.
Carville concerned.
And Romney's a wimp.
Now, here's Romney reacting to this wimp business.
This was on Face the Nation yesterday.
And Jan Crawford, chief political correspondent, said to Romney, some of those views have sounded pretty hawkish.
The way you've been talking in terms of Israel, your approach to the Middle East.
But I want to show you, he's got a copy of the Newsweek cover that's going to be hitting a newsstand tomorrow.
Calls you a wimp.
Have you seen this?
They tried that in George Herbert Walker Bush.
He was a pretty great president in anything but if I worried about what the media said, I wouldn't get much sleep, and I'm able to sleep pretty well.
Has anyone ever called you a wimp before?
I don't recall that, no.
So that's how Romney shows deal with it.
Over on CBS this morning today, show host Charlie Rose brought in Bob Schieffer.
Talk about the Newsweek magazine cover that calls Romney a wimp.
And Bob Schieffer's excited as he can be about this.
Charlie Rose said, does a magazine cover make a difference?
What do we're talking about what may be the last Newsweek cover ever?
They're going to stop publishing this thing.
It's going to become digital only.
Does a magazine cover make a difference?
Here's what Bob Schieffer said.
I think, you know, if you gave Governor Romney some truth serum and people in his campaign, I mean, nobody has told me this, I think they would probably say they are concerned about this.
I mean, this article was savage.
It was brutal.
How could you not have some reaction to it?
When you put something like this article into the narration of the campaign, it sort of gives people ideas.
It plants suggestions.
So for sure, this did not help Mitt Romney.
And my feeling is it probably hurt him.
And I hope it did.
I really hope it did.
I'm so excited.
We got a good narrative going out there now.
Thank you, Newsweek.
Bob Schieffer's happy.
You put a good narrative out there.
Romney's a wimp.
And he continued.
He was so excited he couldn't contain himself.
People in the Bush campaign that year decided they had to do something to make George Bush appear more manly.
So they went to New Hampshire and he started driving heavy machinery, you know, big tractors and big trucks and tooting the horn driving around.
He got his picture taken doing all that.
I remember doing a story there that said, you know, hide the forklift, Mama.
George Bush is coming.
The other part of it is, it worked.
He won.
Yeah, well, it didn't.
It didn't hurt that the loser, Dukakis, in order to try to keep up.
But you want to talk about the real wimps.
Dukakis jumps into a Beetle Bailey Army helmet and hops into a tank and tries to make himself look all manly and tough.
And he looked like a wimp.
He looked out of place.
It became the biggest joke of the campaign.
And all they're trying to do is recreate this because they don't have anything else.
The Obama campaign is almost devoid of anything positive.
That's why they're bringing Clinton in, by the way.
One of the reasons they're bringing Clinton in, Clinton lies very well.
He is an accomplished liar.
Clinton lies in such a way that you enjoy being lied to, they think.
And they're going to bring Clinton in there at the convention.
In fact, they've moved Biden back a day to accommodate Clinton.
Clinton's doing the keynote.
They call it that the keynote, whatever.
And Clinton's going to go in there and try to make, at least this is the pre-pub.
Now, Clinton's going to go in there and try to make the case economically for Obama.
Now, if he's going to do that, he's going to have to lie.
But these people are so...
How long ago...
It wasn't very long ago.
They were trying to tell us that Romney was a bully.
Yeah, for supposedly beating up that supposedly gay student back in his prep school days.
Remember that?
Yeah, back in the prep school, that mean, nasty bully Mitt Romney went in and beat up the poor young gay boy.
What a boy.
Now he's a wimp.
He evolved, I guess.
They're just all over the...
Look, as I say, folks, honestly, sometimes I get fed up even having to mention this stuff.
But they put it out there, and it's wise to try to refute it at some point.
There's other news, Rasmussen, hope for the future generations reached an all-time low.
I mean, this is an accurate portrayal of this country with Obama rumming it.
Just 14% of the American people think today's children will be better off than their parents.
Latest Rasmussen Reports National Telephone Survey found that 65% of American adults do not expect today's children to be better off than their parents.
21% aren't sure.
It's a survey of 1,000 adults nationwide conducted July 22nd and 23rd by Rasmussen Reports.
Margin of error plus or minus three.
It's the lowest ever.
65%.
That is an illustration of just how much liberalism has sucked the hope out of the American people.
And that's what they continue to do.
That's the only thing they've got to do in their campaign is try to dispirit you, take away any hope that it can get any better.
And anybody can do any better than Obama.
Anybody who's going to try is lying to you.
And by the way, it's pretty damn good considering where the rest of the world has it.
You better learn to like this.
Also, according to today's Rasmussen poll, 55% of voters want Obamacare repealed.
Only 39% do not.
So the opening Olympic ceremonies didn't have much impact because that number isn't changing at all here.
Half my brain tied behind my back.
Just to make it fair, Rush Limbaugh and to the telephones, we're going to start Brighton, Michigan with Steve.
Thank you for calling, sir.
It's great to have you here.
Good afternoon, Rush.
How are you?
Very well, sir.
Thank you.
Listen, Rush, I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and I was kind of curious to know: do you think that was more socialist than the Chinese opening ceremony?
That's an interesting comparison.
As I remember the ChiCom opening ceremony, you know what stands out?
You had tens of thousands of people all doing the same thing, all dressed exactly alike, all walking the same way.
Tens of thousands of people choreographed, not one individual among them.
Now, as a viewing spectacle, it was a sight to behold.
It was breathtaking.
And you had to, in a way, respect the choreography talents of the Chi-Com bosses for being able to pull that off.
But when you get past that, what you realized was that these are just automatons ordered to all behave identically, look identical, dress identical.
I mean, it was scary.
It was like watching zombies.
So now then we move to the UK and we've got that opening ceremony where we had, I think it's even worse because here we have an ostensible free people.
Theoretically, the UK is made up of free people.
And what did they choose to highlight about themselves but a bunch of collectivism?
You know, that part of the opening ceremony where they highlighted the Industrial Revolution, you remember that?
Oh, absolutely.
All of it.
All of it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I jabbed Catherine in the ribs and I said, that's how the libs want all of us to live.
That's where global warming.
No, that's where they take.
Minus the smokestacks and the pollution.
They want to get rid of modernity.
Anything modern, get rid of it.
That's when the planet was not being destroyed.
That was when the plan.
I know Industrial Evolution.
But in terms of simple, non-technological, no-electricity life, that's what the extremists of the environmental movement want.
I think of all the things of historical note from Great Britain, the United Kingdom, the things they chose to highlight about themselves in that opening ceremony scared me more because that's a free people basically honoring socialism and collectivism.
The Chikom people had no choice.
They were under orders and under guns.
In the UK, a free people decided to do it.
So I would have to say in answer to your good question, despite the fact the THICOM drummers were better.
I'll give you that.
There's no question.
Yes, they were.
Yes, they were.
THICOM drummer, but that was all part of the choreography.
I still have to tell you that the UK was the more socialist of the two because a free people willingly gave up.
Uh-huh.
There you go.
Excellent answer.
Well, you knew where to call to get the right perspective and the right answer.
Rush, you got a second to talk about that guy getting caught on 995 last week?
The drummer.
The drummer.
Which guy?
The drummer on I-95?
Oh, the drumstick guy.
Yeah, the drumstick.
You're fascinated by that story still?
No, no, back in my long-haired, hippie, pot-smoking magazine festive days, I was a drummer.
And whenever I got caught in a traffic jam, I'd have my drumsticks with me.
I'd drive with my knee, and I'd pound on the steering wheel.
Well, now, did you ever have a woman driving next to you call 911 and say that you were engaging in perverted sex while you were doing that?
I've had three women in the car with me at once, and none of them called 911.
Well, that's, if you don't remember the folks, last week on 995, I was around, I forget where it was, Fort Lauderdale or something.
Some guy driving along in his car, and he was playing in drumsticks on a steering wheel.
And a woman in another car, did you hear about this, Rachel?
Another car, woman in another car, pulls up, sees this, and calls 9-11 because she says what's going on in there is perverted sex.
Now, I ask, how many of you would, if you drove off, say some guy, and even if you thought that that's what was going on, would you call 911?
You'd kind of look at it.
You know what?
You'd speed up to get out of the way in case the guy loses control at the point of orgasm.
You'd get out of there.
But call 911, busybody call 911.
So the woman calls 911.
The cops stopped the guy.
He says, no, no, I was just playing the drumsticks.
They asked the woman, look, I know the difference between drumsticks and a male organ.
And those weren't drumsticks.
So that's what the guy was talking about.
I just wanted to bring you up speed if you were confused.
Jerry in White City, Oregon, welcome to the EIB Network.
Hello.
Oh, good morning, Rush.
Thanks for taking my call.
Yes, sir.
Yes, I just wanted to make a small point that it's absolutely laughable for the defenders of the most booty-whipped president in history to be out calling anybody a wimp.
But that is typically what they do.
They have a problem.
They blame somebody else, accuse somebody else, and take attention from themselves.
I know what you're.
It's a bunch of metrosexuals.
I mean, these are a bunch of guys.
You wouldn't want one of them in a foxhole with you.
And here they are out there booty-whipped.
I know what you mean by that.
And it's Obama.
Like, Richard Miniter's book is about the fact that Obama was booty whipped.
Valerie Jerry said, no, don't go get up three times.
Don't get bin Laden.
He was talked out of it three times by Valerie Jarrett.
Well, we all know who runs the White House, at least the domestic side.
Michelle's pretty much got that part of his life under control.
I mean, she won't even let him eat what he wants to eat.
The guy has to leave the White House and go to the Burger Brothers place or whatever it is.
I think the only reason he has foreign leaders come to town is an excuse to get out of the White House and go to Mickey D's.
Yeah, but the left has been doing that since at least the 60s.
They've got a problem.
They accuse the right.
What they do, as you well know, they spend their time accusing us of who they are.
They spend their time accusing us of doing what they actually do.
But it really is laughable.
I mean, it wasn't that long ago they're calling Romney a bully for beating up this poor gay guy at prep school.
Now he's a wimp.
And all they're doing is recycling a 1987 Newsweek cover, which, as Bob Schieffer had to point, didn't work back in 1987.
It didn't work.
So it's typically clowns to go back to something that didn't work because that's all they got.
Yeah, it was just yesterday that the former press secretary Robert Gibbs called Romney a bully.
