OBAMA: You know, I &#8212; we are working hard to ensure to the women of America that Barack Obama is who we need, you know, some women just feel like if you &#8212; that it\u2019s a woman\u2019s turn, you know, that they just feel like, you know, it\u2019s Hillary\u2019s turn. That I reject because democracy isn\u2019t supposed to be about whose turn it is.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I know, it\u2019s also not supposed to be about cowardice. I understand it, but I don\u2019t like it. These candidates\u2019 wives have to go out there and be the ones to attack Hillary. Michelle Obama has to go out and do it for her husband, and Elizabeth Edwards has to go out there and do it for the Breck Girl. You just can\u2019t attack the girl. Hillary is a professional at making herself sound like a victim. Oh, yeah, they\u2019re going to really be tough on Al-Qaeda, right, yeah, they\u2019ll be tough on Al-Qaeda. (Spitting) my whatever. This is just &#8212; (interruption) you disagree with me on this, Mr. Snerdley? The look on your face is somewhat dubious. Well, I like Mrs. Obama, too. I\u2019m not being critical of Michelle Obama. Let me tell you something. Take your pick of any Republican nominee. Rudy, Fred Thompson, is it going to be their wives that have to go out and attack Hillary? Well, better not be, is my point, too. On the Democrat side, of course, that\u2019s what\u2019s happening. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125117.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"208\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: I need to make a correction, ladies and gentlemen. In discussing the fact that Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Edwards are the surrogates that are criticizing Hillary during the Democrat primaries, I asked a question: &#8216;Do you think this is going to happen with the general, when we get to the general? Is it going to be Fred Thompson\u2019s wife, or Huckabee\u2019s wife, or Rudy\u2019s wife that goes out and attacks Hillary?\u2019 and Snerdley was in there shouting, &#8216;Better not be! Well, I have to correct myself. Rudy already is, and in a big way, and he\u2019s been doing it all week, and he\u2019s been doing it himself. He\u2019s been all over the place just ripping Hillary one up and one down for her comments on General Petraeus about &#8216;suspending disbelief.\u2019 Finally got his ad in the New York Times, and he got it for 65 grand. The New York Times, by the way, is explaining this. They\u2019ve changed their story on the pricing of the ad. One of the things that they say is that when you call the advertising department and want to run an ad, the advertising department doesn\u2019t care about the content. They just quote you the price. Remember what I was telling you yesterday: This is what the Times is saying. Apparently there are different rates, depending on what you want and when. If you call up and say, &#8216;I want full page tomorrow and I want it here,\u2019 then they charge you top of the rate card. If you call up and say, &#8216;I want a full page wherever it can go, and I want it to run within the next three days,\u2019 then the rate comes down. So the more you demand, the more you pay. That\u2019s what they\u2019re saying. I think Rudy got the rate. I think Rudy got the $65,000 rate. I\u2019m not sure. I\u2019m going to have to double-check that. I\u2019m not sure anybody is actually confirming that, but I, nevertheless, wanted to mention it. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Rudy last night on the Fox News Channel, with Sean Hannity, explaining the ad and the rate that they got.<\/p>\n<p>GIULIANI: Well, we got the rate, and they said they\u2019re going to consider running it tomorrow. If they\u2019re not going to run it tomorrow, they\u2019re going to return our money to us because, apparently, they give that rate if you take a group of days and not one particular day. So we made the point to them that it seemed very suspicious to us that MoveOn.org happened to have it on exactly the day that General Petraeus was testifying, and it seemed to us that we wanted it on the day after the president gave his speech.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah. So this is Rudy. We got the rate, exactly what I said to you, if you give them a range of dates, you get the lower rate, so they can plug it in whenever they want. If you demand a specific time, specific place in the paper, then you get the top of the rate card. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This morning on CBS, co-host Hannah Storm talked to Michelle Ubama: &#8216;When you look at the poll numbers, your husband really trails with women by some 30 points to Senator Clinton.
