Erick Erickson, Editor-in-Chief of RedState.com and host of his own show on WSB in Atlanta, filled in for the Maha Rushie.
"I think it's worth saying that politics is hard. It may be harder than doing three hours of nonstop talk radio without a script. You might accidentally talk about taxes for five minutes to a David Duke group, or you might accidentally spend twenty years in Jeremiah Wright's church and then accidentally fund-raise with the terrorist Bill Ayers who claims to have written Dreams From My Father. Yes, politics is hard!" -Erick Erickson
On Monday, Mark sat in the Attila the Hun Chair. Check out Mark's Stack for links, audio clips and more. Rush returns on Monday, January 5, 2015.
"You know who rules the week between Christmas and New Year's? Fill-ins and temp services. Everyone else takes the week off, even non-believers. American employers can't find anybody to work this week, so the Rush Limbaugh people find me. I am old reliable. I always work this week." -Mark Belling
Slate asserts that “police don’t have a motive” for the shootings that took the lives of two New York City policemen. That despite the killer’s own words, bragging he would give “two pigs” their wings and that he was motivated by revenge.
RUSH: I hope you have a great remainder of the year and that whatever you hope and dream for next year and the years beyond come true. Merry Christmas, everybody, and see you next year on January 5th.
RUSH: So much of everything that is attacking our basic civilization is the result of lies. Some big, some little, but people believing them and acting on them. And people are getting killed because of it, and the country is being torn apart because of it.
RUSH: People say, "Hey, Rush, I don't think this Jameis Winston story qualifies as lighthearted." You think? That's exactly my point here, folks. We can't find any lighthearted news.
CALLER: When every holiday rolls around, we think of you and you are almost invariably a part of our holiday, whether it's Fourth of July when we read the essay that your dad wrote about the Americans who risked everything, reading the true meaning of Thanksgiving, the story of Thanksgiving and George Washington's proclamation. And, at Christmastime especially, I know this is the time of year when you get very thankful, and you actually introduced us to Mannheim Steamroller, and now Stille Nacht is a valuable part of what we do as a family and part of our tradition.
RUSH: This is a stark turnaround. I mean, this is a huge 180, Sony going from appearing to kowtow and back off and reacting to the threat, to now almost defiant.
RUSH: My favorite Joe Cocker song, as I mentioned yesterday, is High Time We Went. And I've looked at all the news stories today, not all of them, but I've seen quite a few stories on Joe Cocker's death and passing, and each of these stories has had Joe Cocker's five best hits, or Joe Cocker's 10 best, and not one of 'em lists High Time We Went.
RUSH: We offer assistance to any teacher who would like to use any of the materials in the Rush Revere series, and we've had a tremendous amount of feedback from public school teachers all over the country. So we've sent them books. We've donated books to some schools, and more than you would believe. It surprised me.
CALLER: The whole time that we have listened to you, never a lie, not one. That is amazing, to have spoken as much as you have. It's an inspiration.
RUSH: I would love to be able to tell you how. I'd love to be able to give you tangible things that you could point to, I could point to, you could grab onto as evidence that I think this stuff is gonna eventually implode on itself. Unfortunately, I can't. I can just share with you the idea and the firm belief that I do think these people are ultimately going to lose.
RUSH: I just got on the microphone and said, ladies and gentlemen, Elton John. And the place erupted into a standing ovation. He didn't know what he was gonna get. I mean, let's face it. There are so many cliches about conservatives and liberals and so forth. He loved it.
RUSH: I think they're both gone next year, be my guess.
