RUSH: ‘Republican John McCain said Tuesday the federal government should practice the energy efficiency he preaches, pledging as president to switch official vehicles to green technologies and do the same for office buildings.\u2019 Who is it that\u2019s going to be Jimmy Carter\u2019s second term, is it going to be Obama or McCain? I thought it was going to be Obama. ‘Expanding upon his ideas to address the nation\u2019s energy crisis, the Arizona senator also called for a redesign of the national power grid so power is better distributed where it\u2019s needed–‘ (sigh) Where is it not needed? Appalachia? West Virginia? Where\u2019s it not needed? ‘–and the country has the capacity to run electric vehicles that he wants automakers to supply.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So he\u2019s really scoring points here. He thinks he\u2019s scoring points with the Drive-Bys. (doing McCain impression) ‘That\u2019s right, I told \u2019em we\u2019re going to go green; we\u2019re going to go electric; we\u2019re going to turn up the thermostats in the summer; going to turn \u2019em down in the winter. We\u2019re going to put into practice, Limbaugh, what I\u2019ve been doing myself personally, yes, yes, I\u2019m going to skunk \u2019em this way.\u2019 Oh, really? Right after all of that, the Drive-Bys, AP, yes, it\u2019s Associated Press to the rescue, who\u2019s this? Glen Johnson. ‘McCain drives a 2003 Cadillac CTS, a sedan the Environmental Protection Agency says gets 16 to 24 miles per gallon and emits about 9.6 tons of greenhouse gases annually.\u2019 Big whoop. ‘When campaigning, he\u2019s ferried by the Secret Service using a fleet of Chevrolet Suburbans, a full-size SUV EPA estimates gets 12 to 20 mpg and emits 9 to 13 tons of greenhouse gases.\u2019 So, a Drive-By smackdown. <\/p>\n

Here is McCain lauding his intent to have a green government, and then they point out, he\u2019s a hypocrite. I wish somebody would do a study on my cars. I mean, this is nothing. I got in my car the other day and I drove — there goes Dawn covering her — I\u2019m not going to tell you which one. It doesn\u2019t matter. I got in the car, I had to drive down to Miami for the weekend. I wanted to go to the Kobe Club in Miami. I had been in the one in New York. So I drove down there, checked in the hotel, stayed overnight and got all those doodads on the dashboard that tell me — your car does, too — the range you\u2019ve got based on the gas in the tank and what miles per gallon you\u2019re getting and so forth. Twelve on the highway, 12, I think it was 12.8 on the highway. I said, yes!<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, all right. Many of you might think I\u2019m obnoxious, those of you just tuning in who don\u2019t know me as the audience knows and loves me, you might think why am I going, ‘Yes! Yes!\u2019 when I see that my hog car is only getting 12 miles per gallon on the highway. Because I just love sticking it to the environmentalists. I am not an conformist. I just love sticking it to these people who want to interrupt my choices and my freedom. If I\u2019m willing to pay for whatever happens and I\u2019m not violating any law, it\u2019s none of their business to tell me what I can and can\u2019t drive and what I should and shouldn\u2019t drive, and I\u2019m not going to allow these kind of left-wing wacko kooks make me feel guilty about enjoying life. So there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
