I\u2019ve noticed something about this guy. You\u2019re not supposed to say things like this, folks, but I can\u2019t help it. Because this is one of those guys the Kerry campaign puts out there to spread the message. It just looks like he has a constant sneer on his face. His facial expression looks like he\u2019s sneering. I saw him last night. He was on Matthews\u2019 show, Hardboiled, and he was on with Matt Dowd, who\u2019s from the Bush-Cheney committee, and they were arguing about something else, but this Tad Devine, I mean just looks like he\u2019s sneering. You know, all these Kerry people look like they\u2019re mad at the world and mean and all these celebrity supporters out there mad at the world and mean and all the Michael Moores &#8212; you just wonder, this does not seem to me to be the recipe for going out and spreading the love and compassion and good vibes and all that. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Anyway, I got off the beaten path there for a moment. Asked Tad Devine about this, wait a minute, you guys are saying that your candidate, Senator John Kerry, was the vice-chairman of the intelligence committee, and you\u2019re wrong it was Bob Kerrey. (Laughing.) Just unbelievable. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Folks, is there any wonder why people are looking into the four different versions now of the Cambodia story? (Laughing.) And, by the way, there are beginning to be some cracks in the mainstream press. There are a couple columnists here today, one in Houston, beginning to wonder where his colleagues are investigating these charges. So there\u2019s pressure being applied to the mainstream elite partisan media. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to work, but people are beginning to note.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/> Anyway here\u2019s what Tad &#8212; here &#8212; oh, is that what it was? Oh, I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019ve just been told the Kerry campaign has put out a statement: Kerry was the <emphasize>secret <\/emphasize>vice chairman of the Intelligence committee, and it\u2019s seared in his mind that he was secret vice-chairman of the committee. (Laughing.) You know, we sit here and laugh, but we\u2019re getting into this gray area here where we need professional, licensed analysts to explain this behavior to us, ladies and gentlemen. To say that he was the vice-chairman of the committee? And, you know, this is not a mistake. They\u2019re trying to get away with something. They\u2019re trying to get away with something, thinking people aren\u2019t going to look, hat they\u2019re just going to automatically take the Kerry campaign\u2019s word. Anyway, here\u2019s what Tad Devine had to say when he was asked about this.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>DEVINE: I\u2019ll have to check the with issues people. It was my understanding he was but, you know, if that\u2019s not a factual case, I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll be happy to correct the record.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You will? Be happy to correct the record? How about correct the mistake? How about sending somebody to the woodshed for this. Whose fault is it? Of course, it will never be the candidate\u2019s fault, he didn\u2019t put this up on the website, because he never was the vice-chairman. Everybody knows that. They\u2019ll blame the conductor of the train; they\u2019ll blame the speechwriter or somebody.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Last night, I have to tell you this because this Devine guy was, as I said, on Hardball with Chris Matthews, and one of the things that they were discussing\/debating was the hateful rhetoric that is reverberating on the left in this country, and Devine\u2019s answer to it was (paraphrasing), &#8216;Well, it\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault. Bush is the most partisan president in the history of the country. And he is causing all this hatred. We don\u2019t blame our people for this. We understand it.\u2019 Just unbelievable. I mean even the people who are engaging in this hateful, irrational behavior themselves are not responsible for it. It\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Anyway, we\u2019ve got the documentation here. I guess we could put this on the website. &#8216;John Kerry is an experienced leader in the intelligence field. John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for eight years as the former vice-chairman of the committee,\u2019 is what it says on the website. And he\u2019s not. It\u2019s Bob Kerrey.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/kerry__not_kerrey.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"195\" class=\"alignright\"\/>You know, this just follows a series of &#8212; what are we going to call them, lies, misstatements, mistakes, what have you &#8212; all over Kerry\u2019s website about his Christmas in Cambodia. And this just gives more ammo, and I think it gives more weight and adds more curiosity to the charges that are made in the book Unfit for Command. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>You know, I joke when I say that we need licensed, professional help to help us analyze this. I\u2019m half serious when I say this. You know, real and imaginary are totally interchangeable to this guy. Real can become imaginary, imagine carry can be real. If he thinks he was there, he was there. I\u2019m not highly trained enough in this field to be able to define this or explain to you what it is, but I mean beyond the fact that somebody\u2019s fantasizing. And I think we may have a case of a candidate here who engages in fantasies and has all this life, and if he thinks that he did it, he did it. If he thinks he was vice-chairman he was vice-chairman. If he was in Cambodia on Christmas, then he was. And don\u2019t tell him wasn\u2019t because he\u2019ll say, (Kerry impression) &#8216;I don\u2019t lie, and I don\u2019t make things up, and I don\u2019t fall on the ski slopes.\u2019 Remember that one? And of course we haven\u2019t even gotten to the story, he flew his hairdresser out there, once again, to trim his locks. Actually, you know, I was kind of surprised that made big news. I mean, I fly my stylist to New York all the time when I can\u2019t get it done here. I thought everybody did that.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/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.
