RUSH: Here\u2019s Jimmy in Atlantic City. Jimmy, glad you waited. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, Rush, how are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Listen, I wanted to comment, say something about Mrs. Clinton\u2019s latest sideshow. I\u2019ve been kind of wondering like where the heck we\u2019re going in this country, when theatrics trumps ability, when you\u2019re running for the biggest job in the world. It\u2019s kind of pathetic. It borders on pathetic, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n

RUSH: It always has, though. Since the advent of TV, it\u2019s the name of the game. You can define theatrics and give it a wide berth, but with television, politics has become showbiz. If you don\u2019t do well on TV, you don\u2019t have a prayer. Now, I know what you\u2019re saying. Here\u2019s an act of a sideshow, the tears and so forth. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Mmm-hmm.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But this is by no means the first time this happened. How about when Algore appeared on — I forget what magazine, Men\u2019s Health some such thing, and they retouched him? (interruption) It was that Rolling Stone magazine. Algore was posed in the new wardrobe chosen for him by noted feminist Naomi Wolf, and he\u2019s wearing these tight, crackling jeans, and they actually with Photoshop and touch up, with shadowing, they accentuated the package area of the vice president. <\/p>\n

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

RUSH: No, they did. This is actually quite common. I understand the desire for serious issues, and I think we\u2019re going to get to it once we get nominees. This is still primary time, and if we get the nominees relatively early… The Republicans could go to the convention. I mean it is wide open, and the Democrats could be a long time coming, too. But their nominee. Let me expand on this when we get back. This is all going to shake out in due course. Mark my words.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dan in Buffalo, welcome to the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s an honor and a pleasure speaking to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m calling you from the home of President Grover Cleveland… and the state that made Hillary Clinton a US Senator.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m a loyal Rush listener because of your ideas, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And my observation is that the more you mention the honorable Senator\u2019s contrived cheers, the more you unite the liberals of this country. You are altering the possible outcome of the election in the manner which you may regret.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Actually —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know you\u2019re above this, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, Dan, actually, the Drive-By Media hit her much harder on the tears than I did.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But they are —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not saying I didn\u2019t, but they were really out there. Some of the things they said were literally vicious and unkind.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But they\u2019re responding to your interpretation of what was going on.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I didn\u2019t get here until Monday. They were all over this Saturday night and Sunday raking her over the coals for that thing because that happened Saturday night.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay, now, you could be talking about the way she managed the White House travel department or about all the times that she said, ‘I can\u2019t recall,\u2019 or, ‘I can\u2019t remember,\u2019 or the non-release of White House documents.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I understand that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Now —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Do you know what month it is?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, I do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: January.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We\u2019re a ways away.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. You gotta keep your powder dry. This is the Democrat primary. None of that\u2019s going to matter to Democrats.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I got a question for you. Now, I believe that you alluded to that the Republican Party does not have a pure conservative candidate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s pretty true. Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What if Alan Keyes had a billion dollars in his campaign fund, would the media treat him as the Second Coming of Christ, because the media would profit more from his advertising dollars?<\/p>\n

RUSH: No.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why would that be?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Because, to the media, Alan Keyes is a conservative. As a black conservative, he as a traitor. Number two, they think he\u2019s a kook. Number three, they think he\u2019s a kook. <\/p>\n

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

RUSH: There is no way. There is literally no way. (laughing) You say I\u2019m about ideas. So are they. When it comes to liberal versus conservative, it doesn\u2019t matter. Look at how many qualified black conservatives who aren\u2019t kooks who come along and they try to destroy \u2019em. Condoleezza Rice; Colin Powell, for a while; Clarence Thomas; Thomas Sowell. The list goes on and on and on. You know, Dan, you might have missed this earlier, but I did this brilliant analysis yesterday of why women in New Hampshire flocked to Mrs. Clinton, and it was not because she\u2019s a woman. It\u2019s because they saw her being mistreated, being mean to, by a bunch of men. And it was time for solidarity, it was time for, ‘Screw you, mister.\u2019 It was time for some vindication. What you may have missed after going through all that today, I mentioned the fact that I watched her acceptance speech on Tuesday night, and I said, ‘I\u2019ve never seen her look happier, I have never seen her more relaxed, never seen her more glowing. She actually looked sexy on Tuesday night.\u2019 I don\u2019t know if you heard that, but if you think that\u2019s going to drive a wedge… I don\u2019t know. I thought she looked totally different. I\u2019m not talking about makeup or anything. She was just more relaxed. She seemed more confident. She was beaming. She was obviously happy because she had won, but she looked good. I\u2019m not making it up. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
