RUSH: I do not waste my time getting offended, and I do notgive people power to make me offended or to offend me. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m weird. I live in Literalville. It is what it is, and no matter how mad I get, it isn\u2019t gonna change, so I\u2019m not gonna waste my energy getting mad about it. And I\u2019m not gonna come here and act like I\u2019m mad about it, start huffing and puffing. It is what it is. And, you know, when you live in Literalville, life is a lot simpler. It appears to be complex to people that don\u2019t live in Literalville. But I live in Literalville, it\u2019s very simple. You have to be able to accept things. <\/p>\n

Now, for example, when you start reading critical, caustic e-mails, that\u2019s the kind you get \u2019cause people want to hear theirs read on the radio. This is from Annette. Oh, funny, yesterday I read an e-mail from a guy and I did not mention his last name. Apparently some time ago there was a woman whose e-mail I read and I did mention her last name. And she got ticked off and apparently she\u2019s still ticked off. I musta gotten ten e-mails from her yesterday reminding me how I did mention her name and it caused her undue grief. I don\u2019t remember what it was about. I don\u2019t even remember her name, but at any rate, this woman\u2019s name is Annette, and the subject line is: “You still don\u2019t get it.” <\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve listened for two days. The mistake Newt Gingrich made was arrogance. No one likes arrogance.” I happen to agree with her. Arrogant condescension are the two human characteristics that rub me wrong the greatest. I have huge tolerance problems with arrogant condescension. I understand what Annette here is saying. She said, “No one likes arrogance. Part of the reason people get elected is popularity. People still like Obama. I don\u2019t. But that\u2019s because I don\u2019t like his policies, and I\u2019m not fooled. If Boehner is not careful he will appear arrogant and lose his support. We got bigger fish to fry. The next budget, the debt ceiling, they\u2019re just not trying to overreach. You could never get elected. You\u2019re a favorite with us. But you\u2019re a lightning rod. John Boehner doesn\u2019t have your luxury of saying and doing anything he wants. I want to cut trillions. This is just the beginning. Drop it. You\u2019re becoming a bore.” (laughing) Drop it! Hey, I\u2019m the first to tell you that the fools in media who think they can get elected are… well, it\u2019s a long list of people. <\/p>\n

I said it yesterday. I don\u2019t know where this woman was. I don\u2019t know where you were, but you can\u2019t get elected being hated. You can thrive as a media figure being hated as long as you keep giving the haters a reason to hate you every day. But a politician can\u2019t get elected being hated. I know this.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I told you moments ago that there was a woman whose e-mail I read last year, and I mentioned her last name, and she flipped a lid. I just mentioned it moments ago. So she has written, and the lid is still flipped. “My name is Kay…” I\u2019m not gonna mention your last name this time, Kay. That\u2019s what got me in trouble last name. “My name is Kay and you mentioned my name in the final hour (the last few minutes, actually) of last year\u2019s Cure-A-Thon. Also why did you say I told you it caused me all kinds of grief? I never said that.” Well, you acted like it! <\/p>\n

“And I didn\u2019t send you ten e-mails.” Okay, seven. Who\u2019s counting after the first two? “You\u2019re still a jerk even if you might be the best and smartest political analyst around, and that\u2019s why I pay every month to listen. Signed, Kay.” (laughing) You think it\u2019s all universal love and adoration out there, folks. But it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
