\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Brian Lamb talking to this investigative reporter from the Washington Post. Her name is Nikita Stewart. And this is how it went. <\/p>\n

LAMB: We found this on the Rush Limbaugh website<\/a>, just to show you what is talked about in a conservative radio environment to the outside world. Let\u2019s watch this and get your comments.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: It\u2019s just natural, folks. I\u2019ll answer the question for you. Why are all DC mayors corrupt? That\u2019s the question. Why are all Washington, DC — it\u2019s not my proposition. CNN did this. CNN did the story. CNN asking the question, why are all Washington mayors corrupt? Let me answer that by asking another question: What party do they come from? They are all Democrats. What kind of Democrats are they? They are all liberal Democrats. You want to know why every Washington mayor is corrupt? It\u2019s because they are all liberal Democrats. That\u2019s what they do. Yeah, Marion Barry said the b-i-itch set me up. That was the cocaine sting in the hotel room.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, so Brian Lamb asks this woman a question by playing a sound bite from me that he found, he just happened to be tooling around the Internet and decided to check out the RushLimbaugh.com 24\/7 website<\/a>. Her name is Nikita Stewart. This is what she said.<\/p>\n

STEWART: There\u2019s corruption everywhere. It\u2019s in every city. It\u2019s in every party. I myself am a registered Independent. I have been registered as an independent since I was 18 years old. I just believe that people in power often do things either because they are tempted or sometimes they compromise their values or their ideals in an effort to, you know, get what they really need. But I think it is unfair to say that all liberal Democrats are corrupt.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course she would think it was unfair. But did I actually say that? The question was posed, why are all Washington mayors corrupt? And I said they\u2019re all liberal Democrats. But you can ask the same question of Detroit. You can ask the same question of any city or town or any institution that is run by liberal Democrats, and I guarantee you, it is gonna be rife with corruption. It\u2019s gonna be broke. It\u2019s gonna have a bunch of people who are not working in it. It\u2019s gonna have all-powerful unions. It\u2019s gonna be paying pensions and health care for people who stopped working years ago and who expect to continue to be paid long after they stop working. It\u2019s what it is. I just wanted to play it for you because she had to rush in and defend these liberal Democrats. “Oh, it\u2019s not just liberal Democrats, it\u2019s everybody in politics.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
