Way to go, H.R.!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason this smear does not work, ladies and gentlemen, is because I have a 19-and-a-half-year record on this program of being one of the most devoted supporters of US military personnel that there is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have to go to take a profit center time-out where we charge $20,000 a minute, and I would rather do that than listen to you, Rod.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to read you an e-mail I got last night: &#8216;Dear Rush: You have ruined my life as a liberal Democrat. No longer am I a fun-loving hipster that waits for government action. You make too much sense.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can you believe that John Kerry has the audacity to ask me to apologize for something I didn\u2019t say &#8212; after his record of bashing and criticizing and demoralizing the troops? This is laughable. And I\u2019m throwing it right back in their face!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to thank Media Matters for America for making it so easy, ladies and gentlemen, to show how a real conspiracy works &#8212; not the phony-baloney, &#8216;vast right-wing conspiracy\u2019.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have never seen The Family Guy; I don\u2019t watch cartoons. I haven\u2019t seen The Simpsons, either, in a long, long time. Nothing against those shows, it\u2019s just that cartoons &#8212; for me &#8212; are for eight-year-olds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dawn keeps talking about the thing that she likes the most about our new GM car: the heads-up display of the speedometer on the windshield so you don\u2019t have to look down at the dashboard. Dawn\u2019s been known to have a lead foot at times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was distraught during the Clinton years, too, but I managed to laugh. I figured, if I can laugh while distraught, everybody else could.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125100.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"72\"><\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I do not need lectures from liberals about supporting our troops.
