RUSH: We stick with the phones. To South Bend, Indiana. This is Rhonda. It\u2019s great it\u2019s to have you with us today. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I am one of those housewife “leeches” that you spoke about last week. You were talking about how the liberals look down, despise, disrespect those of us on our side of the aisle.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. This was Kyrsten Sinema<\/a> —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: — who\u2019s a Democrat candidate for Senate in Arizona who called women like you who stay home and raise the kids “leeches.” You\u2019re leeching off your husbands. You\u2019re failures and betrayer of the sisterhood.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019ll tell you why I\u2019m such a threat to them. I am a seeker — and yes, I\u2019ve embraced my femininity. So look at this. A strong, confident woman who loves being a mom and raising her kids. Rush, I have two careers. I am a kick-ass medical transcriptionist, top 2% of my industry.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa!<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I\u2019m a writer, and I\u2019ve raised — I\u2019m raising — the four boys. You know, there is not a glass ceiling I could shatter — even though I\u2019m very talented — that will leave the kind of impact and influence on future generations that my mothering will. Rush, I wish I could have met your mom. I\u2019ve listened to you for so long, I remember when you used to talk about your mother and her little blue-haired friends.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Blue-Haired Bloody Mary Gang, right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. You would talk then about the pranks that you and your brother used to pull, and I can\u2019t tell you the kinship I felt with her. Because I have the boys that made the vinegar ice cubes and put it in my Diet Coke. And made homemade napalm in the backyard. And duct-taped an alarm clock outside our bedroom window and went off at 3 o\u2019clock in the morning. And I didn\u2019t eat them. In the animal kingdom, you know, they eat them. I let them live, and they are growing up to be seekers. And Rush, I\u2019m just so happy that I get to tell you this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that. My mother… My mother appreciated the creativity. (laughing) She did. Anyway, Rhonda, I\u2019m sure you would have gotten along. I\u2019m sure you would have loved her. She was one-of-a-kind — truly somebody that everybody who met her, liked her. I\u2019ve never known anybody else about who that could be said, but my mother could.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
