(Replaying of Hillary Clinton ‘invisible\u2019 spoof.)<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re just playing this cold for you. Let me explain it. Hillary\u2019s got this new ad. She\u2019s out there saying that to the Bush administration, way too many people in this country are invisible. Karl Rove launched a full-frontal attack on that ad when he was my guest on this program a couple of days ago, so we put this ad together. That\u2019s how we do this stuff. We do it with humor. We make fun of them and illustrate who they are. One of the founding guidelines of humor on this program is that, to make it really funny, it\u2019s gotta have an element of truth in it, and of course what you just heard is a great example of that. Open Line Friday. Back to the phones.<\/p>\n

Ryan in the Netherlands. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you doing? Can you hear me?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. I hear you fine.<\/p>\n

CALLER: All right. It\u2019s Ryan calling from the Netherlands. I\u2019m from Minneapolis originally. Thanks for taking the call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s my pleasure.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I wanted to call you about something you were talking about two days ago. I only hear your show with a day delay off the iPod. So I wanted to call. You were talking about how President Bush and Karl Rove, that they\u2019re being so restrained in responding to criticism from the New York Times and from the Drive-By Media, that that was somehow to project more dignity on the presidency. I\u2019ve been living in Europe since 1990, and I really think that in doing so they\u2019ve been opening themselves to much more criticism from people in Europe, and they\u2019re not even getting their talking points across to the media in Europe. So I just wanted to say it seems to me that that\u2019s not really working, and wanted to get your reaction to that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a strategy to make anything work. I think it is a simple philosophical belief that they have in how to respect the office, and to not take it down to guttural, partisan, political levels and respond to all of this stuff. Let me give you an example. They finally did it on this ad that Mrs. Clinton ran, that talked about how Bush sees only half the country, that most of the people in the country, in fact, are ‘invisible\u2019 to President Bush.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Dana Perino, White House spokesman, came out, and she launched an attack, and then Rove came on my program and launched an attack, and the Hillary people are out there publicly, laughing and saying, ‘We must have struck a nerve.\u2019 Why, they love the fact that they think they got under Bush and Rove\u2019s skin, and Dana Perino said, ‘Okay, we\u2019re not doing this anymore. From now on, the RNC is going to respond to this stuff.\u2019 It\u2019s not because of the Hillary reaction. See, I think secretly the Hillary camp is worried that the White House did this, because it may shore up her support for the base. I find it fascinating, Ryan, that the stories came out after this that Hillary was happy because this will convince liberals that she\u2019s truly liberal, being criticized by the White House. If you need the White House to convince them, it\u2019s just ridiculous. They\u2019re just I don\u2019t think they\u2019re doing it to get their talking points across, and Bush is not president to make the Europeans like him. That\u2019s what he would tell you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, it\u2019s just making my life more difficult over here as a Republican, though, I gotta say.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now okay! So it\u2019s about you! You want Bush to give you some cover.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah! I think so.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I understand that. But let me tell you something, Ryan. I understand that. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve heard yet the interview with Karl Rove —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I did.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — but in talking about this very thing with him, I said the American people — you know, your supporters — want leadership on this. You\u2019re being savaged. Bush is being savaged, lied about, and you don\u2019t respond to it, and of course, that makes your supporters think that they\u2019re being savaged and lied about, and they\u2019re not being defended, either. I understand exactly how you feel about this. But whether you agree with their philosophy or not, what it is is what I told you. He\u2019s not going to demean the office.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But over here it\u2019s much more lonely because we don\u2019t have a voice like you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I understand. It\u2019s a problem. By nature, wherever this program is not, life will suck.<\/p>\n

CALLER: (bursts out laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wherever this program is not, liberals will dominate and prevail. It\u2019s been documented. But you\u2019re in the Netherlands. What did I just read about the Netherlands?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, I\u2019m sure you read tons of stuff about it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Is it something about…? I have a mental block. I can\u2019t remember if I\u2019ve got it in today\u2019s stack or had it in yesterday\u2019s. If it\u2019s in yesterday\u2019s stack, it\u2019s down in Florida.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oy!<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh! Is it the Netherlands where everybody when they hit 90, is guaranteed a spot in a nursing home?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, you know what? That could be, but we\u2019ve got waiting lists here for all kinds of medical stuff.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You don\u2019t want socialized medicine. I\u2019m telling you, it bombs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: People have paid taxes all their lives, high taxes, and expect the spot in the nursing home when they\u2019re 90, and they can\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. There are waiting lists for nursing homes. There are waiting lists for all kinds of operations over here, yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019ve got a story in Australia today, from Sydney. There\u2019s a clinic that does nothing but work on hearts. They\u2019ve got 12 beds. They can only fill four of them because they don\u2019t have enough funding (i.e., taxes) so it can take you three months if you\u2019ve had a heart attack to be treated. So they\u2019re reaching out to the private sector. They\u2019re going to give up on the government. They\u2019re going to reach out to the private sector.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yep.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ll give you details of this as the program unfolds, but I think it\u2019s the Netherlands where I was reading this story. I\u2019m going to find it in the stack somewhere here. If not today, I\u2019ll do it Monday.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Could be.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, Ryan. I appreciate the call. I\u2019m flattered that you go to trouble to find the program over there in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Hey thanks, keep it up.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Will do.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
