RUSH: No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not that. It's not what Bernanke did yesterday that's causing this. It's what he said.

RUSH: Okay, now you people know, you are well aware one of the reasons you listen is I know liberals. I know them. I know them like every square inch of my gloriously naked body. Dealing with liberals is like dealing with a one-armed lunatic. They're just gonna keep swinging. They're gonna keep fighting no matter what you do. They never go away. And I know what they're gonna do and why they're gonna do it before they do it, and people marvel at this.
