RUSH: I just watched something hilarious on PMSNBC. Not only was it hilarious, it was quite instructive. The host of the show was a non-broadcaster, Chris Cillizza. He\u2019s a newspaper guy at the Washington Post. He sends me e-mails now and then wanting comments. I get along with him. But MSNBC…? Well, I guess they broke the barrier with Al Sharpton when they put something who knows nothing about broadcasting on the air, as a host. Anyway, Cillizza is talking to David Gregory, the host of Meet the Depressed, and they\u2019re beside themselves trying to understand how it is they haven\u2019t taken Herman Cain out. Now, they don\u2019t use those words, but they\u2019re just beside themselves that he\u2019s still around. <\/p>\n
And they just can\u2019t stand it. “How come some neophyte like this can outsmart us? How come some neophyte with no strategy and no organization…?” and Gregory said, “I\u2019ve even talked to people inside the campaign, Chris,” and Chris said, “You have? Yeah, I really have! I\u2019ve talked to people on the inside. I\u2019ve got some internal people, and they say that there\u2019s no organization; that there\u2019s no strategy to deal with this.” Ahem. Let me offer a wild, totally out-of-this-world observation: Did you people in the media ever stop to consider that maybe Herman Cain is simply telling the truth and that it doesn\u2019t need any strategy or organization? Truth genuinely stands alone (it has that power), and if some guy thinks he\u2019s got the truth, he\u2019s telling the truth, and he\u2019s being honest about his answers, what kind of strategy is needed for that?<\/p>\n
Now, if you\u2019re gonna concoct a bunch of lies — if you\u2019re gonna come up with scenarios based on strategery — well, yeah, that\u2019s gonna require some intricate planning by well-seasoned experts. So they\u2019re just beside themselves, folks, that some amateur campaign here has withstood their shots, and they were openly admitting this. Not in the words that I have just explained to you, but I can read the stitches on a fastball; I\u2019m translating this for you. <\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I want you to hear the little exchange David Gregory had with Chris Cillizza about a half hour ago on MSNBC. This is the one I told you about where they\u2019re just beside themselves that Herman Cain\u2019s triumphing over their best efforts to take him out; and it is in this sound bite that David Gregory explains what really has the media in a frenzy.<\/p>\n
GREGORY: There\u2019s been a rallying around Herman Cain about Republican conservative base in the media, on talk radio. That\u2019s been an enormous boon to him. There\u2019s money coming in, the campaign says. I\u2019ve talked to folks on the ground in Iowa who say enthusiasm is only growing there in the state. What\u2019s got the media in a frenzy, let\u2019s be honest about it, is that there\u2019s just a weirdness about the campaign, a sense that there\u2019s no strategy — and that\u2019s not just observation. <\/p>\n
CILLIZZA: Yeah!<\/p>\n
GREGORY: I\u2019ve talked to people internally who were complaining about the fact there\u2019s no real strategy, they knew about this, they haven\u2019t responded well to it and Herman Cain\u2019s still driving the organization — whatever organization there is.<\/p>\n
CILLIZZA: I was gonna say! (snickering)<\/p>\n
GREGORY: It\u2019s contributing to all this!<\/p>\n
CILLIZZA: I think you get to strike at the heart of it: That\u2019s the problem. There isn\u2019t organization. <\/p>\n
GREGORY: Right.<\/p>\n
CILLIZZA: The push-back is so scattered and still kind of all over the place.<\/p>\n
GREGORY: Right.<\/p>\n
CILLIZZA: It looks strange.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s so scattered and Herman Cain is leading it! (paraphrased) “Who is this idiot?” they want to know. “Who is this dumb, amateur idiot who\u2019s entered our business of politics? He never done anything but run a pizza place and he\u2019s outsmarting us with no strategy? How is this possible? That\u2019s why we\u2019re in a frenzy.”<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: It really is. I am going to characterize this whole Herman Cain thing for exactly what it is, because it is an historic moment. It\u2019s an historic moment for scandals. Stop and think of this: The lack of a cover-up is the crime! No strategy, no organization, a scatter-ball response, a candidate simply answering the questions put to him by a media with no specificity, a candidate who is expected to deny things that haven\u2019t been alleged. Nobody — in day five, now — has told us yet a single thing Cain did; and when David Gregory and Cillizza and all the others (and you\u2019ve heard the montage) talk about how horrible his response to this is, how unseasoned, how amateurish, and how he\u2019s guilty simply because his response is so unprofessional, what they\u2019re really saying is, “He hasn\u2019t engaged in a cover-up!”<\/p>\n

As far as the media is concerned, the real crime here is the lack of a cover-up. That\u2019s what has them ticked off. Herman Cain hasn\u2019t tried to hide it. He hasn\u2019t constructed an elaborate series of lies that can be discovered as lies, which can then be used to nail him and wipe him out so they can move on to the next Republican to take out. Whatever happened to the old “You can\u2019t prove a negative”? I\u2019ll tell you what ought to happen. Larry Flynt! Some Republican Larry Flynt… Do we have one? Do we have a Republican Larry Flynt? We don\u2019t? That says something, too, doesn\u2019t it? Well, I wish we did for this occasion. You know why? (interruption) If we had a Republican Larry Flynt, I would urge him to wave around $50,000 for proof of sexual harassment at Politico. <\/p>\n
I mean, that\u2019s what Larry Flynt does. He waves around a hundred thousand dollars, $50,000 for proof of sex with a Republican. So if we had a Republican Larry Flynt (You want strategy, Mr. Gregory? I got one), we have our Larry Flynt offer 50 grand for any news, any proof — quote, unquote, “proof” — of sexual harassment at The Politico offices, and we could win it because the rules have been established by Politico! The truth is whatever the accuser says. So we wave around 50 grand, we get some woman to come forward and say, “Yeah, I got harassed at The Politico office,” and it\u2019s over, because she says so. We\u2019re supposed to automatically believe that there was sexual harassment if someone says so.<\/p>\n
You see how this could work? Our Larry Flynt waves 50 grand around for proof of sexual harassment by anybody at Politico. Then a woman says, “It happened! Give me the money!” What happened? “Well, I was in there once and David Gregory, or David Gergen, pick a name, hit on me big time, made me feel real nervous! Joe Biden was talking about how his parents had sex on the other side of the bedroom walls and it was real thin walls. I could hear it and it made me real nervous. I was in The Politico and, hell, that\u2019s all they do is talk about sex inside that building.” Bam! She\u2019s gotta be believed because she\u2019s the accuser. Now, while that was going on, the pantywaists on our side would be decrying it and defending the people at The Politico. But everybody knows that the accuser never lies.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Before I get outta here, as this Herman Cain thing continues — and it will swirl through the weekend — Politico\u2019s done 90 stories on this this week. Nine-zero. I had somebody count it up. There\u2019s one thing that cannot be stressed enough: A report that we had earlier today that Herman Cain did not sign any settlement. There\u2019s a CBS News article that says may have been reached after Cain left the association and Bennett, the lawyer, said it\u2019s conceivable Cain didn\u2019t even know about it. That\u2019s the thing to keep in mind. He probably doesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s denying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
