Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
And it just continues.
Every day you take a look at what's happening in the news, you just don't believe it.
You don't believe what's happening.
You don't believe what people are saying about it.
Some of you, I'm sure, are starting to question your own sanity.
I, of course, never do that, but some of you, no doubt, are.
And none of it makes any sense out there.
Like the number of people who actually say that the weather is why we had a 3% is historic.
It's not coincidental, accidental.
It's not a blip.
It's historic.
A 3% contraction of the economy.
Nothing to see here.
It was just the cold weather.
I mean, there's some otherwise smart people, or people we're told are smart, saying that.
And then, of course, by the way, greetings, great to have you, Rush Limbaugh, the EIB network, just as predictable as the sun coming up in the morning, the drive-by media.
And several Democrat consultants are simply shocked, shocked that I would dare call Republican voters, Democrat voters who voted for old Thad Uncle Tom's.
They can't.
And of course, they did not listen to the program, so they did not hear it in context.
They know nothing of the flyer that was sent out by the Thad campaign and probably some Democrats as well.
And there's a bunch of Republican consultants.
They're out there celebrating.
This is another thing here that drive you nuts.
There's some Republican consultants actually celebrating.
They think they've broken ground.
They think they finally attracted black voters.
That they have made, they have crossed, what is it, a milestone has happened.
A miracle has happened.
And you got to hand it to Donna Brazil.
Donna Brazil is out there applauding them for thinking this.
Oh, yeah, old Thad, I mean, he really came to their rescue after Hurricane Katrina.
Old Rush Limbo didn't go down there and help them out.
And George Bush didn't go down and help, and old Thad was down there helping.
Also, we're now supposed to believe that there has been a seminal change and that we can expect 8% of African Americans to start voting Republican.
They're out there.
People actually think that this has happened.
And they are shocked, shocked, shocked.
And of course, back I'm now back to my entertainer days by daring to call those voters Uncle Toms.
And of course, again, they didn't hear it in context, so they do not know.
Now, they probably do.
See, that's the thing.
But maybe not.
I was simply reacting to the flyer that was spread out all over a couple of key counties in Mississippi.
We showed you the flyer on the DittoCam yesterday telling black voters that McDaniel, the Tea Party guy, was trying to suppress their vote.
That you had to get out and vote because the Tea Party didn't want black people to vote.
So they showed up in droves to vote against him.
And we've actually got Republican consultants who think that this is a new day, that this actually represents the success of the.
I can't keep a straight face.
Republican leadership finally is all these years of reach out, outreach, finally paid off.
Anyway, folks, we got, I mean, let me tell you that the turnout, the turnout in mostly black counties was up 40%.
And in one black county in Mississippi, it was up almost 50% for an off-year primary for a Republican who is near senility.
We're supposed to believe that that election, see, the candor race doesn't mean anything.
Oh, no, no, that's a one-off.
That is irrelevant.
But this, why, this shows you the brilliance of the schemes the Republican establishment hatching all these years.
I love it.
I love it.
I tell you, I know when I have hit the bullseye, ladies and gentlemen, and the little throwaway line, Uncle Tom's for old Thad has just sent him climbing up the pole.
Even Snerdley, Snerdley, who works here, his friends know he works here.
His friends know what he does as part of his job here.
He got calls from his friend.
Did you hear?
Did you hear what your boss holds the phone away?
What do you mean?
Yeah, I was laughing at it along with everybody else.
And they were outraged on the phone, and he finally had to tell them what it was in context.
They didn't know about the flyer.
So there we have that.
An audio sound bites to support all of this.
Supreme Court has really slapped down our dear leader.
The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, told Obama that his recess appointments were illegal, unconstitutional.
By the way, this is it.
This is a day the U.S. and Germany take to the pitch at the World Cup.
And I just want to remind people, I'm not going to make any predictions, but we have kicked Germany's butt in world wars ever since there have been world wars.
It can be done.
Well, I know it sounds like it mid-may, it's a long shot, but if we've beat them in world wars, we can beat them at soccer.
That's the way I look at it.
Snerdley is a, that'll be in the German press tomorrow.
No, the American media will call the German press.
Did you hear?
What else can they both say about you?
I wish there were a way to share this fun with you.
I wish there were a way for you to know how much fun, how easily predictable it is.
We all knew yesterday that this was going to send them into orbit.
So predictable.
Oh, and don't forget the robocalls.
The robocalls in Mississippi that went along with the flyer that was going out there telling black voters that basically heading back to the days of Emmett Till.
Yeah, Tea Party wants to take you back to segregation.
And it just, it's, you know, it's actually, it's kind of a serious thing.
I mean, we're laughing at it here because of the involvement of myself in this, but it's actually kind of a serious thing when you look at the way the Republicans are fooling themselves over what it means, but how easy it is,
how easy it is to make Americans, certain Americans, believe that the election Of a decent person will take them back to the days of segregation when, in fact, you know who the modern-day segregationists are, the Democrat Party of today.
The Democrat Party is segregating everybody every which way they can.
Race, gender, sexual orientation, sexual surgery change, whatever they can come up with, whatever ways, whatever new groups of victims that they can invent and put people into, they are segregating and dividing people.
They have the southern border wide open as this, this, this, uh, the Democrat Party's desire and need for a permanent underclass in this country is on display, which is exactly what that is all about and always has been.
Anyway, in a rebuke to President Obama, the Supreme Court struck down three of his recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board as unconstitutional.
A decision gives the Senate broad power to thwart future recess appointments, which they always had, by the way.
But it did not go as far as some conservatives hoped, it says here in the Politico, to undercut the president's ability to fill vacant executive branch posts and judicial slots.
I don't know how much farther it could have gone.
It was unanimous.
It was nine-zip.
In a nutshell, the Supreme Court said Obama cannot decide when the Senate is and is not in session.
You know, Obama's not used to being told that he can't do something.
It's going to be interesting to see his reaction to this because this doesn't happen.
I mean, this doesn't happen to the boy wonder.
People don't tell him what he can and can't do like this.
And this is nine to nothing.
I mean, even his appointees, of which there have been two, Sotomayor and Kagan, even they joined the unanimous journey.
So what Obama's task now is to find a way to bypass the Supreme Court, not just the Senate.
And he will no doubt look to do that.
Let's see what this is.
Yeah, that was politico.
The National Journal version Supreme Court limits Obama's appointment powers.
The Senate is in session when it says that it is, not when Obama says it is in session.
And let's go to the audio soundbites.
We're going to start here at audio soundbite number two.
This is last night on CNN's The Lead, fill-in host John Berman, speaking with Democrat strategerist Donna Brazil about me and my theory as to why old Thad won his primary election in Mississippi.
To set up the discussion, Berman says this.
Rush Limbaugh, you may have heard of, had some, you know, pretty provocative explanations for why Thad Cochran won last night.
I think we have the sound.
Let's listen to that.
I wonder what the campaign slogan was in Mississippi the past couple days.
Uncle Tom's for Thad?
So obviously, Rush Limbaugh talking about the fact that African Americans did appear to turn out and vote for Thad Cochrane.
And as I pointed out when I made the comment, first we had the robocalls, we had the flyer that was out that was telling black people in Mississippi that the Tea Party wanted to deny them the right to vote and take them back to the days of segregation and so forth.
And I don't know that these people know this.
I don't know that they know that there was a flyer.
They do not treat themselves to news that they do not wish to hear.
I mean, even the drive-bys.
Roger Simon, writing at PJ Media, has a piece today called IRS Shame and Loathing on the Media Trail.
And his point is that with the failures that Obama is racking up here, the worldview of leftists and Democrats and their worldview and their lifestyle is under threat because of the debacle that is the Obama presidency.
And to face the reality of the Obama presidency would mean to see everything they stand for falling apart.
Everything they stand for dissolving in a puddle.
Everything the left wanted when they supported Obama.
Every utopian dream they had represented by his election.
The country's falling apart.
Everything is a disaster.
Obama is clearly, I mean, in a charitable sense, in their view, by the way, and this is crucial, in their view, it may be he's incompetent.
They will never assign ideological intent to Obama.
They'll always chalk it up.
His buds in the media will do incompetence.
But Simon's viewpoint here is that Obama's now beside the point.
They don't even like him anymore and that nothing could be more obvious.
But that they're not going to call him on any of this because it would be to basically acknowledge that they and the things they believe in are failures and the things they believe in don't work.
So they're not going to do that.
So they're not going to hit Obama.
So they may not know of the flyer.
And if they know of the flyer, they may ignore the flyer.
They are looking.
They've got a storyline here.
They have got a template.
And that is that the Tea Party is racist and that everybody knows it and that the black people of Mississippi are heroes to come out and vanquish the Tea Party.
It's not even about Thad Cochran.
As far as the drive-bys are concerned, it's not even about Thad Cochran.
It's not about the Republican establishment finding a way to attract black voters.
They're saying that in some of their news stories.
That's not what it's really about to them.
The reason they're happy and gleeful is they think they have succeeded in tarring and feathering the Tea Party as a bunch of racists.
And they were able to spread that word.
And so I come along.
What do blacks call Republican blacks?
I think the term is Uncle Tom.
Clarence Thomas has been called an Uncle Tom.
Michael Steele's been called an Uncle Tom.
Dr. Sowell has been called an Uncle Tom.
Alan West has been called an Uncle Tom.
Condoleezza Rice will be called an Aunt Jemima Uncle Tom.
I mean, they've double-dipped on her.
And so what is a Republican?
African Americans.
It's an Uncle Tom.
They own the terminology.
I'm simply following their thinking and logic and say, well, yeah, this many black people shouldn't vote for Republican.
Had to be Uncle Tom's for Thad.
And I knew it was going to irritate him.
The truth always does.
So they happily and gleefully take the comment and Soundbite out of context.
And then they ask Donna Brazil what she makes of the comment.
He's an entertainer, so I laugh.
Okay, so that's number one.
Number two, I have to tell you, you know, in the past, because I have family in Mississippi, my maternal grandmother was from Mississippi.
I was there last week.
Let me just say this.
There are a number of African Americans, independents and others, who support Thad Cochran because he's been a good senator.
He's been good on constituent services.
He's delivered.
And I could tell you this, and Russell and Black needs to understand this.
Right after Hurricane Katrina, who was down there trying to help people pick up their lives?
Who was there to help them get back into their homes?
Who was there to help them rebuild their lives?
It was Thad Cochran.
It was no Rush Limbaugh.
Right, right.
I didn't go there.
But let me ask you this, Ms. Brazil, seriously.
If there's this much appreciation for Thad, if African-American voters in Mississippi are so devoted to Thad, so appreciative, then why the hell did he end up in a runoff?
Where were you in the first election?
Why didn't these African-American voters show up the first time around and just end it then?
Why didn't the African-American voters showed up in droves in the runoff?
Where were they during the original election?
If there's so much association with Thad and there's so much appreciation, there's so much gratitude for all that Thad did for them after Hurricane Katrina, then where were they?
The answer is she doesn't know what she's talking about.
And the idea that there's any kind of Democrat appreciation for Thad Cochran in Mississippi, she is the one who's being disingenuous with the audience at CNN.
She is the one that's furthering a false premise, not I.
I got to take a quick time out.
Sit tight, my friends.
Back with much more right after.
Did Donna Brazil go down to Mississippi to help out after Hurricane Katrina?
Now let me make another observation.
Donna Brazil says that this Uncle Tom's for Thad comment is just the utterances of an entertainer, and she'll laugh, ha ha ha.
But the reason these African Americans came out and voted for old Thad?
Gratitude, appreciation for what old Thad did for him post-Katrina, right?
Well, why did they wait until the runoff?
If they have so much gratitude and appreciation for Thad, and if this vote for Thad is legit, why didn't they show up in the first election?
And then the robocall.
If the truth is that the black vote this week for Thad was really for Thad, then why weren't the robo calls all filled with appreciation for Thad?
Instead, the robo calls were filled with lies and vicious race baiting and accusing the Tea Party of trying to suppress the black vote.
But if it was all about appreciation for good old Thad, why didn't the robo calls tell black voters how much old Thad had done for them post-Katrina?
Here is just a brief excerpt of the robo calls that were going around on Mississippi on Tuesday.
Hello, neighbors.
The time has come to make a stand and say no to the Tea Party.
No to their obstruction.
No to their disrespectful treatment of the first African-American president.
Next Tuesday, June 24th, Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel is in a runoff against Senator Thad Cochran.
If we do nothing, Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel wins and causes even more problems for President Obama.
With your help, we can stop this.
Please commit to voting against Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniels next Tuesday.
Say no to the Tea Party.
Now, excuse me for noticing, but I didn't hear anything in there about Thad.
All I heard in that robo call was what a reprobate Tea Party candidate is, how much he hates Obama, how much trouble he's going to cause Obama, and how much trouble he's going to cause for black people.
He's going to deny them the right to vote.
Where was all of the accolades?
Where were all the accolades for Thad?
There's so much, Donna Brazil says there's so much gratitude and appreciation.
We may have lost those voters to the Republicans forever.
They love Thad so much.
Well, they didn't show up in the first election.
And the Robocall didn't say a word about gratitude for Thad, which means Donna Brazil's Phil would be us yet again.
You know, I'm going to go out on a limb here, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going to, I'm going to offer you a little bit of opinion.
I think it's entirely possible that the African Americans that turned out Tuesday to vote for Thad Cochran may have thought he was a Democrat.
Based on the robocalls, based on the flyer that went out, it's entirely possible that they thought that this was not a runoff, but they thought it was a Republican versus Democrat election because of the way the Tea Party candidate was referred to.
It's the way they always hear Republicans referred to.
Is it not?
Be it Tea Party, be it regular Republicans, they're racist.
They want to deny you the right to vote.
They want to take you back to segregation.
So here comes the Robocall.
Here comes the flyer.
And nobody can convince me.
And I don't think there's any hard evidence.
But who do you think was behind the flyer in the Robocalls anyway?
What would be your best guess?
Well, I'll leave that an open question for now.
But I don't think it was Donna Brazil.
Let's put it that way.
But it's entirely possible to me that these African Americans that turned out on primary election, or on the runoff election day, thought that Thad Cochran might have been a Democrat because the Tea Party guys portrayed the way they always hear Republicans portrayed.
That means it's a possibility.
Now, Donna Brazil says, I didn't go down to Katrina.
I did go to Joplin, Missouri, after a hurricane wiped it out, and I did take a truckload of two if-by-tea and gave it away.
And I did damn little speech as the people there were attempting to recover from that disaster.
But I also want to remind you of something else about Donna Brazil that she may not want me to remind you of, and she may not want Democrats in this audience to remember that she said this.
But it's to her credit.
Donna Brazil is one of the few Democrats to admit the truth about George Bush and Katrina.
April 25th, 2013, CNN, Donna Brazil, Bush came through on Katrina.
It was an op-ed that ran on the CNN website.
And here are a couple of excerpts.
George W. Bush was good as his word.
He visited the Gulf states 17 times.
He went 13 times to New Orleans.
Laura Bush made 24 trips.
Bush saw that $126 billion in aid was sent to the Gulf's residents, as some members of his own party in Congress balked.
And here's how her op-ed praising George W. Bush ends.
Our recovery can be credited to the civility and the tireless efforts of President Bush and other Americans who united and worked together to help rebuild the Gulf and the place of my birth, New Orleans.
Now, I don't hear anything in that op-ed about Thad Cochran.
And yet on CNN yesterday, she's all filled.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Thad Cochran.
He came to so many people's aid and rescue that the turnout for him on Tuesday was one of gratitude and devotion because Thad did so much post-Katrina.
Russ Limbaugh didn't do anything.
No, I was in Joplin after a hurricane.
But anyway, just to cross the T and dot the I, and I had an exclamation point because they're all, and we still got one more soundbite on the, on the, there's still more fun to come on the Uncle Tom's for Thad line.
But if these African Americans were so deeply indebted to Thad, where were they in the original primary election?
If they had shown up then, old Thad wouldn't have needed a runoff.
Number one.
And number two, well, let's just leave it at that because that's the why her op-ed about praising George W. Bush was one of the few Democrats to ever do that.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, in the span of less than a half hour, I, your host, have gone from just being an entertainer who's worth a couple of yucks to now, once again, being the titular head of the Republican Party.
Here is Chuck U. Schumer on Capitol Hill, Democrat, House, and Senate leadership press conference talking about the Senate having passed an immigration reform one year ago that didn't go anywhere.
And it was a joint press conference to call on the House to pass immigration reform this year.
This is what Chuck Schumer said.
The leaders of the House know that they're coming up to the edge of a demographic cliff, and immigration reform is the only thing that can keep them from falling off of it.
They all know, but it's a small sliver of a minority of America which has disproportionate weight, the Tea Party, that prevents them from moving forward.
They're afraid of the Tea Party.
They're afraid of the word amnesty, even though our bill is not amnesty at all.
But Rush Limbaugh says it enough, and they're afraid that their primary voters who skew far right believe it.
So we started the program and I was just an entertainer worth being yucked up and laughed at.
But now I am the reason I call it amnesty and the House Republicans quiver in fear.
And there's very few people that can do this, folks.
There's very few people in the span of a half hour can go from just an entertainer to the titular head and primary fear agent of the Republican Party.
Now, here's the, that's the point.
If, ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a question.
If we had an issue that was going in our favor and we thought that we had the Democrats on the verge of going over the cliff, would we try to save them?
Or would we get out of the way and let them take the fall?
See, that's the thing.
Chuck, it's a nice try, but we're not buying the notion that you're really trying to help us out here.
We're not buying the idea, Chuck, that you actually want us to win elections.
It just doesn't make any sense, Chuck, that you're trying to save our bacon on immigration reform.
Here's what's happening.
Folks, it is crystal clear what is happening with this massive influx now of unaccompanied children, combined with the daily influx of illegal immigrants.
The Democrat Party needs its permanent underclass.
They want one.
You know why?
A permanent underclass of poor people and poorly educated people become people who automatically depend forever on government.
Call them, I don't know.
I mean, they just automatic Democrat voters.
This is a massive Democrat voter registration drive.
And you see the pressure being brought to bear on the Republicans.
Go back to the Peter Beinhart piece in the Atlantic Monthly last week that I really highlighted a number of days because he talked about this demographic shift that is occurring in this country that's leaving the Republicans out.
And it's all because of the Tea Party.
You people and me, and we're all the only reason why the Republicans are not getting up to speed and getting in gear because we want to hold on to an America that isn't anymore.
You see, America is transforming.
America is changing.
And America is becoming a land now of social justice.
Yeah, what was the other term?
The social justice and tolerance.
Yes.
Tolerance and social justice.
What that means is we are going to become a country that has forever feeling guilty and sympathy for the poor and minorities.
And we are going to bend over backwards.
We're going to strip power from the people who've had it since the days of the founding.
They have unfairly held it for too long.
They have monopolized it, manipulated it.
They've stolen from everybody.
And now it's time for the victims to be given what has been theirs all along that has been stolen and denied them.
And the theory is that this demographic shift is happening.
Immigration proves it.
There's nothing that the Republicans can do to stop it.
And the only way they're going to remain viable is to join the Democrats and adopt their policies and their viewpoints on all this.
And then these people will love the Republicans as they love the Democrats.
And they might get some of these people's votes down the road.
And this is what Schumer was essentially saying.
Same thing that Peter Beinhart said in his piece.
The leaders of the House know they're coming up to the edge of a demographic cliff and immigration reforms.
The only thing keeps them from falling off, as though he wants to keep us from falling off.
He wants to help us, prevent us from going over the cliff.
So there's a new age approaching, a new era, one of tolerance and social justice.
And the Tea Party is the only thing standing in the way.
And by the way, there's an addendum.
The more you and I oppose this, the faster we hasten it.
And you know why?
Because the more we oppose it, the more firmly committed to making it happen become the Democrats and these minorities and the illegal immigrants.
The more opposition they see to their arrival, the more firm in their desire to come and change this country.
So if we would just shut up and back off and go away, it might not happen as fast.
Still going to happen.
We get on board with it.
We might be saved as a political party and a political movement.
Might get some votes down the road.
But if we don't, we're going to go over to Cliff.
And Chuck Schumer doesn't want to go over to Cliff.
And the only way is to get people to stop believing me when I call what they want to do amnesty.
Because it isn't.
And this is what I mean.
I opened the program today saying it's everything I'm hearing.
I'm hearing from people otherwise you would think intelligent people say some of the stupidest things.
Got to take another brief time out.
El Rushball on a roll.
Sit tight.
We got much more.
We have much more.
We've got it.
Get to it.
We get back.
Don't go away.
Hi, welcome back.
It's great to have you.
It's Rush Limbaugh serving humanity simply by showing up.
You know, here's the raw numbers truth.
And this is, I think, another thing, a series of facts, actually, that people may not know.
In Mississippi, conservatives won the primary.
More Republicans voted for McDaniel than voted for Cochran in the runoff.
You take away the Democratic turnout ginned up maybe by Republican establishment figures who are out there raising all kinds of money against the Tea Party guy.
Nobody knows for sure, but wouldn't be surprised if the money for the robocalls and that flyer came from Republican sources.
Again, that can't be established, but wouldn't be surprised.
But when all the votes are counted, more Republicans voted for McDaniel than voted for Cochrane.
And yet the Republican established running around crowing how they crushed the Tea Party.
They lost the party.
The Republican establishment got fewer votes on Tuesday.
Take those Democrat votes out.
I mean, just as a numerical exercise here, the Republican establishment got crushed.
So they resort to race baiting.
Is that the future of the GOP?
They're trying to tell us that because we're seen as racist, we've got to support amnesty.
It's terrible.
And then they go out and engage in race baiting themselves.
I think the Republican Party ought to be scared to death.
I think because Thad Cochran may have won, but if you look at just the Republican vote, the establishment got creamed in Mississippi.
And then you add that to Eric Cantor.
Here is Tony in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Hi, Tony.
I'm glad you waited.
I want to get a phone call in this hour, and you are it.
Hello.
I am honored.
Thank you, Rush.
How are you today?
Very well.
Thank you.
The problem here is that the Tea Party has become a negative dog whistle that can be used at any time by the GOP establishment or the Democrats to conjure up race, anti-Americanism, or anything else they need at the time.
And the Tea Party made a mistake by embracing the GOP to begin with.
And what it is, is really the People's Party.
It's time to drop the Tea Party, adopt a new moniker, and attract the Reagan Democrats, the constitutional conservatives from both sides, and put this ruling class in Washington to bed once and for all.
I understand where you're coming from.
The whole notion of branding.
Whatever it's called, Tony, the same things are going to be said of it.
If it even could be done, using your example, if Tea Party could all of a sudden be broomed and all of a sudden be called the People's Party, they'd pick up on that and they'd start trashing that.
And it's a really frustrating thing, I know.
I mean, I personally have 25 years' experience with this.
I can't change my name, nor do I want to.
I'm proud of it.
I'm not afraid of it.
I'm not afraid of it.
That's the difference, I think.
At some point, the defense, as long as, I remember I got so mad.
I've told you the story.
I get so mad at a dinner party in my own house.
I had some guys I had not met on.
They were friends of friends that shown up.
And they were saying, we got to get rid of Sarah Payload.
I said, why?
The media hates her.
We're never going to get anywhere.
The media has destroyed her.
We've got to throw her.
Do you realize what you're telling me?
You're telling me that essentially the media can pick and choose anybody we want until we come up with somebody they supposedly like like McCain that we can't get behind him.
No, she's the longest person.
She may be fine.
She may be smart.
I don't care, but the media hates her.
They've destroyed her.
We've got to throw her away.
And I'm thinking with people like this, ideas didn't even matter to them.
The idea of defending her and standing up for her and putting people, mindless people, attacking her in their place didn't even occur to these people.
They just wanted to cave in cow town to the Tea Party, to the critics of Sarah Palin, the media.
So, but nevertheless, I understand the frustration.
But at some point, you got to realize they call Republicans the same thing as the Tea Party.
The Republicans are just getting a bit of a respite from it now because the Tea Party poses the bigger threat.
This is the dirty little secret.
If you listen to this stuff properly, the media, the Democrats, they'll always tell you, they'll always tell us what they fear.
And right, they fear the Tea Party.
They don't fear anybody in the Republican establishment, in the House or the Senate.
They fear the Tea Party.
And I think that that offers an opportunity.
But if you don't hear it the right way, if you simply chalk it up to, well, they've tarnished and feathered us again.
They've destroyed that brand.
We've got to come up with a new one.
They're going to keep doing that.
Yet the Tea Party, on balance, keeps winning a majority of Republican votes in these primaries.
How can that happen if we've been tarred and feathered?
I must take a brief timeout, my friends.
We'll be back.
Don't go away.
Okay, folks, I have a couple of more sound bites.
We'll get to in the next hour.
Drive-by media types apoplectic over my reference, African-American voters for Thad Cochran as Uncle Tom's for Thad.
Both soundbites come from CNN.
A little bit more in-depth analysis of the Supreme Court decision today, slapping down Obama on recess appointments.
It's not quite as thorough and good as you might think.
