RUSH: Have you seen, by the way, the NAGs are now going after New York Governor David Paterson? What if his last name were ‘Clinton,\u2019 and what if he were white? Would you leave him alone? If David Paterson\u2019s last name were ‘Clinton\u2019 and if he were white would you NAGs leave him alone? They\u2019re trying to get him to resign now. And, of course, Harold Ford, the party bosses got to him. Harold Ford said, ‘Okay, okay, okay! I won\u2019t run, I won\u2019t run! It would be horrible. It would be a devastating primary. It would help the Republicans. Okay, I won\u2019t run.\u2019 Now, folks, which party is it that has the big tent? And which party is it that throws its moderates out? It seems to me that if you are a black centrist in a couple of key areas, the Democrat Party wants none of you — and if you are black and you want to be governor of New York you haven\u2019t a prayer. <\/p>\n

Now, you might be saying, ‘Why do they care about Gillibrand?\u2019 Because she\u2019s a rubberstamp for Chuck-U Schumer! Very simple. She rubberstamps what Chuck-U does. She\u2019s not, by the way, safe. But anyway, poor Harold Ford. He\u2019s gone. He wanted to run. Party bosses, I don\u2019t know if it was Clinton or Cuomo that called him. Maybe it was Torricelli. I don\u2019t know how they\u2019re using him these days, but I can imagine the phone call. (interruption) Well, I know Schumer bullied him, but somebody having a phone call. (doing Clinton impression) ‘Hey, hey, hey, Harold. How you doing, buddy. Heh-heh-heh-heh. You think you actually think, Harold, we\u2019re going to let you run? You couldn\u2019t even hold a cheap little seat in Tennessee. You had Chris Matthews on, you said people were running dastardly ads against you down there and you couldn\u2019t beat Corker, and you think we\u2019re going to let you run for a seat in New York?<\/p>\n

‘Harold? Stay at Wall Street, earn your millions. Go back to be pro-life and all that stuff that you are. We\u2019re not going to let you pollute our party anymore. We love you — and, Harold, I heard Rush Limbaugh singing your praises. Ha-ha-ha! You don\u2019t have a prayer, Harold, in our party. I don\u2019t know what you were thinking. Have you heard of Bob Torricelli? Do you know him? I know you know Andrew Cuomo. Ask them. Ask them about me. Don\u2019t think my heart\u2019s slowing me down, Harold. Dooooon\u2019t you think that.\u2019 So after, I\u2019m sure, a phone call somewhat like that, Harold Ford writes a piece. ‘Okay, okay, I\u2019m not going to run because it would help the Republicans.\u2019 In the meanwhile, Republican Party said to have this no ‘big tent\u2019 and no room for its ‘moderates,\u2019 and yet which party is it that throws its moderates overboard and apparently doesn\u2019t have a big tent? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
