What\u2019s wrong with the story is John Kerry\u2019s not even on the stage. John Kerry is not using any oxygen. John Kerry doesn\u2019t exist. John Kerry can\u2019t get noticed anyway, so what are they worried about Clinton taking him off the front pages or off the stage? This is, you know, a joke &#8211; being worried about something happening, but it can\u2019t happen because it doesn\u2019t exist in order to be changed.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>So they\u2019re worried. I mean, John Kerry can\u2019t get past Richard Clarke. If they didn\u2019t have Richard Clarke and this commission, where would their campaign be? Have you looked at it that way? John Kerry goes on vacation. If it weren\u2019t for this commission, if it weren\u2019t for Clarke\u2019s book, if it weren\u2019t for Woodward\u2019s upcoming book, John Dean\u2019s got a book out there. And if it weren\u2019t for all the coordination you\u2019re getting on the nighttime cable news shows trying to help Kerry, where the hell would his campaign be? Because it\u2019s nowhere with him. [program observer interruption] So what he\u2019s at the colleges? Yip yip yip yip yahoo! We never know about it \u2019till after the fact when the media tells us because when he goes there it doesn\u2019t create enough noise, charisma or what have you to get noticed in and of itself. He said something the other day on the economy that I swear, to this day I\u2019ve read it 18 times, and I don\u2019t know what it says. I don\u2019t know what it means. I have it here in the stack. I hadn\u2019t planned on getting to it now, but I\u2019m glad that that ad ran because I\u2019m going to get to it. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Listen to this: This is a story where he was defending the Heinz corporation as not a Benedict Arnold. You know, they got all these plants overseas. He said, &#8216;I don\u2019t mean that.\u2019 But he said, &#8216;This is pretty simple. The workplace in the United States of America is as stressed as I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen it stressed at any time. It\u2019s almost criminal. It\u2019s not criminal, but I want to underscore how unbelievable it is. I\u2019m tired of talking valuing families and not valuing families. They\u2019re unbelievable, unacceptable staggering numbers of young lives that are being abandoned in our country.\u2019<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>My friends, I read this and I put myself in the position of Democrat leaders who are also reading it, scratching their heads and cringing, and saying, &#8220;What have we done, and how can we change it? Oh, God, let\u2019s do get Clinton\u2019s book out there so it will remind people of the Clintons, maybe we can have some change at the convention.&#8221; Because I\u2019m telling you, &#8220;This is pretty simple. The workplace of the U.S. of America is as stressed as I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen it stressed at any time.&#8221; I mean, what is he talking about? If there\u2019s even the slightest basis or element of truth, the stress in the workplace comes from all these needless, worthless federal regulations that are constraining. He\u2019s trying to say that nobody can get a job that they like and nobody can earn any money and all this. It ain\u2019t true. <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/john_kerry_s_misery_index_soars.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\"\/>He\u2019s come up with now this misery index. Can you believe a Democrat wants to revive that? Who\u2019s running his campaign to allow this to happen? Any time you bring up the misery index, guess what? Even CNN did this. You have to go back to Jimmy Carter, and you have to explain what the misery index really is. And Kerry\u2019s got his own new terms and definitions of the misery index, and it was blown out of the water today. We\u2019re going to have to turn it into his own personal misery index, and that\u2019s going to go up every time there\u2019s good economic news, which there was today. So if he\u2019s going to come out with a new economic misery index, we\u2019re going to create our own John Kerry misery index, and I\u2019m telling you, he\u2019s in a lot of misery right now, folks. If he doesn\u2019t know it, it\u2019s even worse for him because he doesn\u2019t have the sense to understand where he &#8212; <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>I know I\u2019m talking fast, but I\u2019ve been bottling this stuff up and holed up for a long, long, long, long time. I\u2019m working on a bumper sticker. People are always demanding bumper stickers and stuff for the newsletter and for the website. I\u2019m working on a bumper sticker, &#8220;John Kerry, whatever you think, you\u2019re wrong.&#8221; That sums him up. &#8220;Whatever I think, I\u2019m wrong.&#8221; There\u2019s any number of ways to go with it.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&amp;lt;*ICON*&amp;gt;<strong>Your Resource for Combating the Partisan Media, Liberals and Bush-Haters&#8230; <\/strong><\/line><BR\/><a href=\"\/\/\/home\/menu\/fstack.guest.html\">(&#8230;Rush\u2019s John F.
