I have a lot of people who thought he did great. A lot of people. (interruption) No, just people sending me e-mails think he did great, thought his lawyer did great (which was fascinating) and then I got a couple e-mails from people criticizing so-called conservative journalists. I don\u2019t know who it was, but one of them I guess said &#8212; and this, really, prompted a number of e-mails from people riled up. One of journalists considered to be a conservative said, &#8220;The Herman Cain press conference raised more questions than it answered,&#8221; and I said, &#8220;Well, you understand, now, that\u2019s Journalism 101.&#8221; That reaction is actually taught in journalism school. You hear a journalist say that after a press conference? Herman Cain, what else could he do? He asked for a lie detector test, said he would take a lie detector test.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t even know the woman.&#8221; Do you realize how wide open he\u2019s left himself? If he\u2019s lying to us, he\u2019s finished forever. Even if this presidential campaign started only as a lark to try to get a media gig or maybe get TV appearances on a cable show or whatever his motivation was &#8212; and I\u2019m not discounting that it was seriously to win at the same time. But if what he did yesterday is proven to be total lie, if he does and has known this Bialek babe, it\u2019s over. So what else can he do? And then the reaction from a journalist is, &#8220;It raised more questions than it answered.&#8221; That is taught in Journalism 101. You have a reaction like that, that generally means you\u2019re gunning for the guy and you\u2019re attempting to influence the way viewers who also watch the Cain press conference thought about it. Most of the e-mail I got from people was they thought it was good &#8212; that his lawyer was good, that it was straightforward and honest. He was a real guy, this kind of stuff. If he lied and if it can be established that he lied and if there\u2019s some sexual harassment out there, guaranteed, folks, a slot at CNN.<\/p>\n<p>I give you Eliot Spitzer as proof.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_56046\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: Now, what did I just tell you? By the way, it was Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard who people that e-mailed me said had said that Cain &#8220;raised more questions than he answered.&#8221; Looky here. I you told you it was Journalism 101. David Goldstein, McClatchy newspapers: &#8220;Herman Cain\u2019s effort to control the damage from sexual harassment allegations has raised more questions than it\u2019s answered.&#8221; It\u2019s Journalism 101, and when you get that reaction to it, it means that that particular journalist is gunning for the candidate, gunning for the source, the subject of the story. He doesn\u2019t want to believe it, not buying into it. This is where it is. The smart money is saying Herman Cain just can\u2019t survive this onslaught.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>Now the babes are gonna have a joint presser. They\u2019re going to have a joint presser. A panel! A panel of accusers. You know, last night even before I knew what a disaster I was facing this morning here, I was thinking of not showing up to do the show today unless I had a full panel of other talk show hosts beside me for support. I said, &#8220;That\u2019s silly. I don\u2019t need a panel. I don\u2019t need guests. I don\u2019t do guests!&#8221; What are these babes gonna do with a panel? What does it prove? What does getting five people together for a press conference prove? (interruption) Oh, is that it? On their own they can\u2019t swing the day? (interruption) Well, the only way you prove a negative is with a lie detector, and that\u2019s even dubious, of course.<\/p>\n<p>If he passes the lie detector they\u2019ll just say, &#8220;Ah, ah, ah, ah! That raises more questions than it answers.&#8221; There\u2019s no way that he is going to &#8212; within the journalism community, within the punditocracy &#8212; win this. Now, with the people, with the voters, different story, and who knows? But does getting five people together for a press conference add more weight, does it add more proof? You get five people together to accuse somebody of something, does that make it true? Is that some part of Sharia law that I haven\u2019t learned about yet, or does having five people just make it harder to go into any of the specifics of any of their charges or their background? See, I think that\u2019s what it is. You got all five of them up there and it\u2019s a little tougher to individually examine them, and the reason that it\u2019s important&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>When people make allegations like this, it is important that they come forward. They need to be judged, their credibility, their story needs to be judged equally with the person they\u2019re accusing &#8212; and that\u2019s why the Politico, all these anonymous details, anonymous sources, anonymous bits of evidence and so forth? It\u2019s why they were having trouble. One of the questions I would have if I had the opportunity to be at this panel that the babes&#8230; I shouldn\u2019t say &#8220;babe,&#8221; should I? One of the questions that the women are going to engage in is, &#8220;Who is paying your legal fees?&#8221; You see, that\u2019s why I\u2019m not a reporter. I would be kicked out of the club if I asked a question like that: &#8220;Who is paying your legal fees?&#8221; Such simple and direct questions are never permitted. The questions are gonna be more like those asked of Herman Cain. Like, &#8220;Do you think sexual harassment is a serious matter?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  There is the most amazing story, and it looks like a random act of journalism from the AP on the latest accuser, this Kraushaar babe, Karen Kraushaar, 55, a pattern of whining.  This is a person who has tried to use being offended for personal gain.  AP exclusive:  &#8220;Accuser Filed Complaint in Next Job.&#8221;  It is an amazing story.  I can\u2019t believe that AP ran it.  It\u2019s long as it can be.  I don\u2019t know that I want to get into every smidgen little detail of it.  I might.  It just depends on how things unfold here on the big program today.  But I\u2019ll tell you what this panel means.  When all five of these women gather together, if they actually do this, the way to translate that, what that means is this isn\u2019t working, let\u2019s try ganging up. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_56054\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/CainFoxNews110211.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, everybody in the media says that Clinton &#8212; and we\u2019ve talked about this &#8212; everybody in the media says that Clinton handled his sex accusations perfectly, that he had a strategy out there, that there was an organization.  Remember David Gregory, the Grand Wizard of NBC News, he was telling Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post, what really gets the media, let\u2019s be honest here, there\u2019s no strategy here, there\u2019s no organization, so there\u2019s no way we can plan to screw this guy.  He\u2019s winging it, and we\u2019re not used to people winging.  When you wing it you generally tell the truth.  But we don\u2019t know how to deal with this.  We need a strategy.  We need a formula.  We need this guy behaving like everybody else.  Clinton did it the right way. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>What does that mean?  What would Clinton do?  There\u2019s a &#8220;what would Jesus do?&#8221; campaign.  The media is out there constructing &#8220;what would Clinton do?&#8221;  Clinton would call this panel of five women the band of bimbos, and James Carville would be out there waving a dollar bill in front of them to see how many of them would start disrobing for it.  And he\u2019d call whoever put it together a sex pervert.  But they would be out there, the Democrats would be attacking the accusers.  Now, isn\u2019t it fascinating, now you\u2019ve got the accusers, these women, and now the Democrats, why, they\u2019re holier-than-thou, they\u2019re clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, why, women don\u2019t lie about this, folks.  They don\u2019t make these things up. This is too traumatic, women don\u2019t want to make this up and live this lie.  It\u2019s bad enough when it\u2019s real.  So that\u2019s what Clinton would do, classy stuff like that. <\/p>\n<p>Now, this Karen Kraushaar &#8212; and I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s how she pronounces because I\u2019ve known somebody named Kraushaar in my life.  I have.  It was a guy, and he worked for somebody you all know and I know.  And I don\u2019t know that he\u2019s related to this woman or not.  There\u2019s a lot of Kraushaars out there, but he spelled his name the same way and that\u2019s how he pronounced it, Kraushaar. So we\u2019re gonna call her Karen Kraushaar.  She says that she eventually dropped her complaint because it was relatively minor.  But she had demanded untold thousands of dollars as well as back vacation pay and a $16,000 raise and a fellowship to Harvard\u2019s Kennedy School of Government.  That\u2019s what she wanted.  (interruption) I know, Cain did his whole press conference last night without a teleprompter.  He did.  He doesn\u2019t need a teleprompter.  People that know what they\u2019re going to say generally don\u2019t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So we have the latest Herman Cain press conference yesterday.
