RUSH: I\u2019m sorry. It just doesn\u2019t arouse any interest. I don\u2019t know what to tell you, but I just don\u2019t care about it. There\u2019s only one thing that interests me, and that\u2019s not even a big deal. Obama\u2019s girlfriend<\/a>. Folks, I don\u2019t care. You know, this is an example of how the media sets the narrative every day, and everybody follows suit. <\/p>\n

Okay, so this Clinton biographer, David Maraniss, has this Vanity Fair story (I guess he\u2019s got a book) about Obama\u2019s girlfriend, this “composite” girlfriend “Genevieve” whatever. I\u2019m sorry, the only thing that interests me about this is: Why are we just learning about it now? Why are we just learning about the fact that he “composited” a bunch of girlfriends into one? I mean, he\u2019s been president for almost four years, 3-1\/2 years, and we\u2019re just now hearing about this?<\/p>\n

(interruption) <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>See, Dawn\u2019s even yawning. I gotta get off of this subject quick.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I wasn\u2019t making it up. I don\u2019t care about the Obama “composite” girlfriend. I\u2019m sorry, I just don\u2019t care. I tell you what, I\u2019m reading a fascinating book. I\u2019ve got two books going. Well, actually I\u2019ve got three books going. I\u2019ve got a novel going and I\u2019m dabbling in this Robert Caro book on LBJ<\/a>. And today we have some sound bites from LBJ <\/a>back in the day. If you\u2019ve never heard him speak, if LBJ predates you, we\u2019ll have LBJ talking about his War on Poverty and Great Society.<\/p>\n

And we have Ronaldus Magnus reacting to it. That\u2019s coming up on the program. It\u2019s just fascinating. So I\u2019m dabbling in that, and Jay Nordlinger of National Review (he also writes at The New Criterion) has a book out on the Nobel Peace Prize called “Peace, They Say<\/a>.” It\u2019s a history of the Nobel Peace Prize and why it turned so anti-American. When it did, you can basically trace back to Reagan. They hated Reagan. They despised Reagan. And there are stories about all the people who won the Prize, why they won it, and what the reaction was.<\/p>\n

For example, Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize I think it was \u201973 or whatever the year was. But he had to share it with a North Vietnamese commandant by the name of Le Duc Tho, who was a mass murderer. He\u2019s in the Pol Pot Club. Kissinger tried to give his Peace Prize back, and they wouldn\u2019t take it! They said it\u2019s nonreturnable. (laughing) It\u2019s sort of like you go to the 7-Eleven and you buy something that\u2019s nonrefundable, nonreturnable. It\u2019s the same thing with the Nobel Peace Prize. Kissinger didn\u2019t want to share it. <\/line><\/p>\n

There are fascinating stories. And, of course, who can forget Obama got his Peace Prize within the first months. Well, his first year, but it was announced in like three or four months, and his Peace Prize was offered and awarded on the come. He hadn\u2019t done anything yet, other than be who he was and get elected. So it\u2019s fascinating. It doesn\u2019t just list the Peace Prize winners. It\u2019s not just a hit piece on the whole concept of the Peace Prize. It\u2019s a look at what went wrong with it, and when, and why. It\u2019s really good. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
