RUSH: I have to tell you something. I gave away a Select Comfort Bed yesterday<\/a>. Now, that was a nice gesture. It was a call from a military wife who had been at Camp Lejeune but now she and her husband — he had gotten back from Iraq, I think, six weeks ago, and they live in Louisville. So, I gave her some flowers from ProFlowers<\/a>, a little Valentine\u2019s Day bouquet, to get her husband off the hook; and a Select Comfort Bed<\/a>. It was like a nice thing to do, right? So I checked the e-mail when I get home. ‘You\u2019re not fooling me.\u2019 People, not many of them but a couple of people, said, ‘I\u2019ve called you before, and I\u2019ve had a nice story. Why didn\u2019t you give me one?\u2019 or, ‘Could I get one?\u2019 I would love to be able to give everybody one, but this program is not socialism. But, see, everybody wants one. That\u2019s the thing. Once you give one away, everybody wants one. Select Comfort, the Sleep Number Bed. This is the bed that you can get a king-size, queen-size. Each side of it, you can set your own firmness. You can lay down on that bed, take the clicker, start flicking it; make it more firm, make it softer — and wherever you end up liking it, that\u2019s your sleep number. It\u2019s a great bed. It really is. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Check it out: 1-800-GET-A-BED. Who knows? I\u2019m going to be giving other beds away. This is an ongoing thing I do. Yeah, she was saving up her pennies. We lucked out. She was saving up her pennies. I had no clue. I just threw it out there. I wasn\u2019t feeling magnanimous, but at least check it out. You get a free DVD or video to look at what all this thing does. There are 465 stores around the country. Just call 1-800-GET-A-BED, and then we\u2019ll talk about giving more away as the program unfolds on future days. <\/p>\n

Peter in Jacksonville, Florida. Thanks for the call, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Republican conservative dittos from the first coast, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Gratsate. (ph)<\/a><\/p>\n

CALLER: And I want a Sleep Number Bed, but I want to earn it. Before —<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s a way you can do that.<\/p>\n

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

RUSH: I\u2019ll tell you what: If you make your point in 25 seconds, the bed is yours.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, jeez. I want to vote for… I\u2019m not going to vote for John McCain. McCain wants to convince me that he\u2019s a conservative? Why does he need convince me? His record should speak to that fact. McCain\u2019s ego, this is another reason why I\u2019m not going to vote for McCain. His ego, when he looks at my vote and the vote of my family who are going to vote also, they\u2019re going to think that we\u2019re liberal Republicans and we want to move the Republican Party to the left.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You did it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m not helping McCain or anybody hijack the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Shh, shh, shh! You did it. You got a bed. Hang on. Don\u2019t go away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
