RUSH: We go to Charlotte, North Carolina. This is Reed. Great to have you on the program, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I want say thank you for all you do, and I was commenting earlier on the Charlie Rose Show, but one other quote he had was that they were “compelled” to do this, and I\u2019m wondering if that\u2019s gonna be the new mantra in Democratic liberal society.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re talking about Spitzer and Weiner?<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, just Weiner. He was talking about Weiner. He was compelled to do this. It was a compulsion. It was kind of like they were coming up with a new articulation on why this happened and it was just a compulsion, it\u2019s not — it\u2019s something almost excusable. It\u2019s, “We should understand this.” <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah, it\u2019s —<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s a compulsion, sort of like what happened to Clinton. They\u2019re compelled.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, it\u2019s a variation on the story these guys are so powerful, and they are so smart that normal mores can\u2019t contain them. Their appetites are such because of their greatness that they must go outside the norms of conventional society. We can\u2019t possibly relate or understand \u2019cause they are so smart and they\u2019re so great. Like Chris Matthews! Chris Matthews said maybe his wife is partly responsible. Did you hear that? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Ugh!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, yeah. Matthews was discussing this with a Republican strategerist by the name of John Feehery, and he said that Weiner\u2019s got this wife. If she knew about it, then she\u2019s partly responsible for letting it go on. If she knew about it. So now the wife gets partial blame. Oh, yes. Huma knew — and if Huma knew, she\u2019s partly responsible for it. (interruption) Well, I know Huma is being held up as a saint, but it\u2019s like I told Kathryn on the weekend: Before this is all said and done we\u2019re going to get stories on the super intelligence and the latent greatness of men like this is what cause it to happen. Like you said, Reed, it\u2019s a compulsion. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (silence)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Reed?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Can I ask you an NFL question, Rush — <\/p>\n

RUSH: Sure, by all means.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — to change the subject on a brighter day in Charlotte.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, go ahead.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m wondering if the media is gonna be interested in the Cam Newton story here and if I should be careful about pulling for him or saying anything about him when I talk to friends or do you think that, you know, that that might be a touchy subject here —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why?<\/p>\n

CALLER: — in the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. What would Cam Newton have anything to do with the Democrat National Committee and the convention?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we\u2019re just gonna be the new home, so we\u2019re proud of that, but I\u2019m wondering if we picked Cam Newton for all the right reasons or, you know, for PR reasons.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh, you\u2019re talking about the Panthers!<\/p>\n

CALLER: The Panthers\u2019 number one draft choice.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whether they picked… Oh, I thought somehow —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I didn\u2019t want you to say anything. I want to go out on a limb and take a chance and say, “Maybe we picked him because we\u2019re hopeful for great things out of Cam Newton.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, as a Panthers fan you gotta say that! As a Panthers fan you gotta be able to that. This team is in… Yeah, hope and change? Your team\u2019s in the dregs, man! Your team won, what, two games? You gotta believe people running that team picked Cam Newton not for PR but they actually think he\u2019s gonna revive and bring them back. They think he\u2019s a franchise quarterback. You gotta believe that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So you feel good about the pick, you feel good that we did the right thing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not a Charlotte fan so… (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: We consider you an expert with your Pittsburgh background —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you\u2019re absolutely right about that. <\/p>\n

CALLER: — and your love for the NFL.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. I don\u2019t think anybody really knows. I think this is one of the great things about the NFL draft and all these experts. Look at Brady. It was an afterthought, sixth or seventh ground, Tom Brady of the Patriots, nobody wanted him. For all the science that goes into this, there are so many intangibles. (interruption) Yes, there\u2019s gonna be a season! I\u2019m positive there\u2019s gonna be a season. Of course there\u2019s gonna be a season. There will be a National Football League season. Even if it\u2019s only eight games, there will be a season. The NFL schedule has been structured so that they can play an eight-game season, one preseason game — have a little bit of a training camp, a free agency period — and still do the normal playoff routine. But it won\u2019t come to that. It\u2019s gonna be settled. Now, I will say this: There\u2019s always caveats to this stuff. The owners are prepared for there not to be a season. They are loaded for bear on this. They are. They\u2019re loaded for bear on it. But, yeah, I think there\u2019s gonna be an NFL season and I have to think that the people running the Panthers here did something other than choose somebody they think is going to sell tickets for a year.<\/p>\n
