And my name came up. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yup.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hey, I want to know if you\u2019ve experienced the strange phenomenon yet that when a black contestant is on the stage, you &#8216;forget\u2019 that she\u2019s black.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: (laughing) You are not helping.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It does happen.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You are not helping me out here. (laughing) I forgot&#8230; (laughing) Actually the black contestants are not on the stage for 70 minutes or at least an hour, and it took that long for Matthews to realize that he\u2019d forgotten Obama was black. Which, again, caused a little bit of a stir. But, no. We\u2019re colorblind here at the Miss America Pageant.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What would the media had done to you if you had said something so completely off-the-wall, stupid, ignorant like that?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Oh, I know. I\u2019ve had a bunch of people if I had said that, if I had said what Harry Reid said, &#8216;He\u2019s a light-skinned black, doesn\u2019t speak with a Negro dialect unless he wants to. This guy can win!\u2019 If I had said that, oh, you\u2019d still be here, why, you\u2019re still hearing about my comments that were not even about Donovan McNabb and it\u2019s five or six years after the fact now. So you\u2019re exactly right, a brilliant observation on your part.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Rush, the Drive-By Media has forgotten how to blush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, I don\u2019t think you can embarrass them. It\u2019s pure propaganda all the time. <\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Pure shameless.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good way to put it.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Thank you, Rush.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/miss_america.Par.83637.ImageFile.gif\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125113.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"449\" height=\"608\" class=\"alignright\"\/><\/a>RUSH: Thanks very much, David. I appreciate the phone call. By the way, speaking of this Miss America Pageant, I was going to bring this up because I frankly had forgotten it until this guy\u2019s call. They\u2019ve had a different emcee each night of the preliminaries: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night. Last night was the final night of the preliminaries. Last night\u2019s emcee was Dena Blizzard, comedienne from New Jersey. She involved, off the cuff, us six judges. She said, &#8216;You know, it\u2019s time for us to judge the judges. The judges get to sit here and judge everybody else.\u2019 So we\u2019re caught up in this, and we have to play along and there was only one thing we had to perform, and that is we all had to stand up on cue and dance &#8212; all six of us &#8212; and then the audience is going to vote as to which one of us was the winner. So I got up and I started dancing and I did the Jersey fist bump because that\u2019s what she said she wanted, and I was doing the Jersey fist bump and I went kind of nuts there for 30 seconds. And, lo and behold, if I didn\u2019t win it! I won the judge talent show last night, was called up on stage. The retiring current Miss America, Katie Stam, crowns the new Miss America on Saturday night, gave me a&#8230; They didn\u2019t have a Mr. America sash, so they created one that said &#8216;Mr. New Jersey,\u2019 and there was a picture of me wearing that and they couldn\u2019t find a coffee cup named Rush so they got me one with the name Roy on it and gave me that. Katie Stam, the current Miss America signed it, and all the Miss America Pageant contestants are on stage. This is at the end of the night. So I just wanted you people to know: I won a talent contest here at the Miss America Pageant, but I was not competing against the girls. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Dave in Wyoming on a cell phone.
