RUSH: I\u2019ve got two stories on this, but there\u2019s a big argument here today over the disparity in pay. You know, we thought we had this fixed, too. Not fixed, but significant ground had been gained and that the differential in pay between men for the same work had decreased, the differential. And then we found out that women in the White House earn 18% less than the men who work in the White House. <\/p>\n

Well, so here you have the Mecca of liberalism, the Mecca of socialism, where at least when they control things they\u2019re gonna have their Utopia. Everything is going to be perfect. Everybody\u2019s gonna be treated the same. <\/line><\/a>Everybody\u2019s gonna be treated fairly. Nobody\u2019s gonna be discriminated against. You would think the White House would be that Utopia. You\u2019ve got the head Utopian, Obama, and he\u2019s got total power, and everybody he hires is also a Utopianist. You would think, therefore, that the workplace at the White House would be the model, that\u2019s where everybody should look to find out how to do it. Wouldn\u2019t you expect that? In fact, where liberalism is the vast majority of the power, and it\u2019s not really opposed, wouldn\u2019t you think that every liberal city, every liberal town, every liberal club would be its own mini-Utopia? I mean the things they are trying to force on us, wouldn\u2019t they have already implemented for themselves? <\/line><\/p>\n

So therefore wouldn\u2019t the White House workplace be ideal? Wouldn\u2019t the White House be the Utopia that we all should have, where there\u2019s equal pay for equal work; and everybody gets paid a lot; and everybody gets the same benefits; and everybody is respected; and nobody\u2019s laughed at; and nobody\u2019s made fun of; and nobody\u2019s bullied; and there\u2019s no disparity in pay between men and women; and there\u2019s no discrimination between the races, the genders, the orientations? Isn\u2019t that something we should all expect? Who can tell Obama that he can\u2019t do that in the White House? The president of the United States, this Utopia that he and liberals believe, shouldn\u2019t it exist in a place that\u2019s under his and his wife\u2019s direct control? It should. Because it\u2019s the best, right? <\/p>\n

I mean, what they believe in and the lifestyles and circumstances that they believe for us, they should set up for themselves. So why is it that women make 18% less in Obama\u2019s Utopian Oval Office than the men do? Why? It must be discrimination. Nope, there\u2019s another answer to it. You know what the answer is? Motherhood. Men work longer hours. No. I\u2019ve got it right here in the Stack of Stuff. This actually is not my theory. Men work longer hours and women can leave the job whenever they want and come back whenever they want, where the child is involved, and as such, they earn less than men.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, people are starting to call me El for short now, E-l. Dear El. I kind of like it. All right, here it is. You know, it\u2019s really fascinating. I\u2019ve had what I consider to be an epic broadcast so far today, with information, facts, illustrations, not gonna be heard anywhere else. And Snerdley is totally uninterested. He and Dawn are in there yakking about the Family Medical Leave Act. He keeps saying, “What about Zimmerman?” We\u2019re gonna get to Zimmerman. <\/p>\n

<\/a>But here\u2019s the piece. Suzanne Venker, coauthor of a book coming a year from now, February 2013. The name of her book: The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know — and Men Can\u2019t Say. Suzanne Venker. The Flipside of Feminism: What Conservative Women Know — and Men Can\u2019t Say<\/a>. Oh. That book\u2019s already out. I\u2019m sorry. Her new book will be published in a year called How to Choose a Husband. <\/p>\n

She has an open letter to President Obama that was published, and here\u2019s the pull-quote. “The bottom line is that the pay gap exists because of a voluntary division of labor, not discrimination by a conspiracy of male chauvinists. Men simply work more hours than women. And people who work more hours — or work at more difficult, unpleasant, or riskier jobs, earn more. And they should. You\u00c2\u2019re wasting valuable time and money, Mr. President. There will never be male-female pay parity so long as most women spend part of their lives caring for their children. And thank God they do.”<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you, the government needs to keep out of it. Obama wants to make this an issue. His own White House is full of lower-paid women. And, by the way, we got the photos to establish that his campaign staff doesn\u2019t look like America. His campaign staff, it\u2019s in the Stack from earlier this week. You know, I don\u2019t use pictures here \u2019cause it\u2019s radio. I could show you on the Dittocam, but there\u2019s a picture of the Obama reelect team, it\u2019s all white. It\u2019s like 80 people. <\/p>\n

Now, if The Messiah, if The One cannot bring about pay equity in his own office, why should anybody else be forced to do it? This is my point. These are the Utopians. Obama has the power to put together his Utopia right in the White House. No bullying, no discrimination, equal pay, whatever the issues are. And yet all this disparity exists. And there\u2019s probably bullying that goes on in there. And he\u2019s probably one of the biggest bullies in there, as the boss. But his campaign staff doesn\u2019t look like America. There\u2019s nobody on that campaign staff, for example, that looks like Al Sharpton, that I could see. It\u2019s almost totally white. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
