RUSH: Look at how far we have come, ladies and gentlemen. Look at how far we have come. When was it? What was the year? Rick Lazio debating Mrs. Clinton for the New York Senate, he left the podium and approached her podium, asked her to sign a joint pledge on campaign finance or some such thing, and all hell broke loose. And do you remember why all hell broke loose? Because a man dared approach a woman. You woulda thought it was in the NFL locker room. Why, Rick Lazio dared invade Hillary\u2019s turf, and he paid the price. You dirty, rotten slime, how dare you. Besides, don\u2019t you know this woman\u2019s got a knife? Now look how far we\u2019ve come. You can throw the kitchen sink and the toilet bowl and its contents at Republican female candidates and no one is accused of picking on the girl. If you are a Republican you can attack a Republican woman left and right and not even the liberated pansies in the sportswriter media will come out and attack you. You can say about Christine O\u2019Donnell whatever you want to say, and nobody accuses you of picking on the girl. <\/p>\n

I think these establishment Republicans need to start pointing out who the unelectable Democrats are. What is this, our side always focused on who the unelectable on our side happen to be. And who the hell are they anyway to anoint or disanoint somebody is electable or not electable? I\u2019m in charge of that. Who do these people think they are determining who can and can\u2019t be elected? I\u2019ve always been in control of that. That\u2019s my purview, and nothing\u2019s changed. And I also tell you which Democrats can\u2019t be elected. I also tell you which of those are unelectable and shouldn\u2019t be. Nothing\u2019s changed. They asked O\u2019Donnell about the Republican Senate campaign committee when the news was they weren\u2019t gonna help her. She said, ‘That\u2019s fine. They don\u2019t have a winning track record this season anyway.\u2019 From what I hear, the woman\u2019s pretty quick on her feet, calling Castle an Obama Republican. <\/p>\n

You know, things are so crazy, or maybe we should say they\u2019re so sane, so unpredictable this year, the voters in Washington, DC, even turned out their incumbent mayor, a clean, articulate black guy, Adrian Malik Fenty in the Democrat primary. I mean he\u2019s gone. That even happened to Marion Barry. But everybody keeps talking about Christine O\u2019Donnell\u2019s low voter ID. In the show biz world we call it the Q factor, you know, name recognition. ‘Nobody knows who she is, Rush, she doesn\u2019t have a prayer.\u2019 I\u2019m in charge of whether or not she has a prayer. I\u2019ll tell you she not only has a prayer, she has a psalm of a chance. After this upset, after all this controversy, Christine O\u2019Donnell is going to be the most famous politician in the state, right? So what is her voter ID going to be now? (interruption) As head of the party, am I going to condemn these attacks on Christine O\u2019Donnell? I thought I had condemned these attacks. But, look, I\u2019m no longer the head of the party. Boehner is. The White House has thrown me under the bus. (laughing) It\u2019s early. Actually, no, I\u2019m back. I mean I\u2019m all over \u2019em here in the sound bites, but, as you know, I\u2019m reluctant to play sound bites mentioning me. <\/p>\n

Somewhere they did the booty-licious thing on TV. No, I don\u2019t know if they did it on TV, I didn\u2019t see it, I don\u2019t know if — (interruption). What TV station? What network? The Today Show this morning ripped me for saying she was booblicious? Showed various comments? The Wall Street Journal I know condemned me, some unsigned editorial condemned me. They said I was very close to being right two days ago when I talked about Ines Sainz, but yesterday I joined the little frat boy chorus as I broke it down, yo. By the way, I have printed this out. I look at a lot of sports media during the football season and I\u2019ve often said on this program I\u2019m amazed at how a real man can become such a pansy liberal, and they have to be raised that way. It has to be cultural. I look at these pansy sportswriters weighing in on this Ines Sainz situation, and there\u2019s no difference in what they\u2019re saying and what Gloria Steinem would say 20 years ago. There literally is no difference in how they\u2019re describing this New York Jets locker room situation with the Azteca TV reporter, there\u2019s no difference the way these guys are describing it in the sportswriter community from Gloria Steinem or Molly Yard. ‘I am outraged! Outraged!\u2019 Remember her? Faye Wattleton, all these NAGs. There\u2019s no difference. And they\u2019re fairly young guys, some of them are middle-aged but clearly the younger they are, the more lost cause they are, the more liberal they are, the more politically correct indoctrinated they have been, it\u2019s amazing. <\/p>\n

<\/a>There was a football website last night weighing in on this controversy. I\u2019m reading it and it\u2019s one thing to say you don\u2019t approve of what went on there in the locker room, the way the Jets players might behave, but the way this was described, the only evidence that a man wrote it was the name, and that\u2019s not sexist. Did you hear what Clinton Portis said? Oh, the league is — this all dovetails, folks, with the fact that we can dump all over a Republican woman. Republicans can throw the kitchen sink and the toilet at her, as happened last night on Fox. We can talk about her character rectitude, her honesty, how come it took her so long to go through college and all that, but let somebody talk about some realities of this Mexican TV reporter in a football locker room. Clinton Portis of the Washington Redskins has a guest appearance on a radio show in Washington I think every Tuesday. Clinton Portis, number 26, running back, good player, came out and said, (paraphrasing) ‘Come on, now. You put a woman like that, dressed like that in a locker room with 53 male athletes in the nude, you just know there\u2019s going to be a couple of them she\u2019s gonna want.\u2019 He even went so far as to say, you know, she\u2019s going to be comparing packages. Well, the NFL had a cow. The NFL PR, you woulda thought Clinton Portis wanted to own the St. Louis Rams. He went out and apologized. I mean in a split second he went out and apologized. <\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s some other player who tweeted something, you know, a couple lines in his Twitter account, not quite the same as what Clinton Portis said, but it was something along the same lines and within seconds this guy had reversed himself on his own Twitter account, with a re-tweet talking about how horrible it was, what happened to this woman in the Jets locker room. (laughing) No, nobody said Portis was wrong. He\u2019s not supposed to say it, just not supposed to say that. Nobody said Portis was wrong. They said we\u2019re not going to tolerate this kind of language. The locker room is a workplace, and we in the NFL are not gonna allow this kind of talk to occur about what goes on in the workplace. Now, I\u2019m just asking honestly, Clinton Portis, is he wrong? What do you think? Let me just ask, as human beings, folks, men, women, children, grandchildren, grandmother, grandparent, football locker room, 53 sculpted bodies, except for the offensive and defensive linemen. Everybody else in there sculpted abs, six-pack, I mean they are Adonis\u2019s. <\/p>\n

Okay, open the doors and here comes the reporter crew and then the reporter crew happens to be — look, folks, I worked at the Kansas City Royals when this all started, when women in the locker room were admitted. I was there. I know what goes on in there and I\u2019m not gonna get into great detail but I\u2019ll tell you this. The players didn\u2019t like it. The locker room, that\u2019s their escape. There are assigned times the media can get in there, pregame and postgame to get stories that you can\u2019t get anywhere else. But the door just being randomly available, open any time for somebody to walk in, no, it\u2019s a refuge. I remember some of the Royals players, they didn\u2019t make one effort to cover themselves. ‘Oh, you want in here? You want to see what goes on in here? Here, look, this is what goes on in here. Ah, ah, keep your eyes above my waist. You\u2019re talking to me. Keep your eyes above my waist. You\u2019re asking me question, you want to know about the game. Look at me in the eye when you ask me this question.\u2019 I\u2019ve seen it. Ladies and gentlemen, in advance of the outcry that will happen in mere moments, I want to apologize for my accurate recitation of what I witnessed. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: ‘Truth is the mother of all hatred.\u2019 Do you know who said that? One of my all-time favorite poets — and, if you remember, I don\u2019t like poetry. Most poetry is a bunch of pansy little rhyming. Just tell me straight out, will you? Don\u2019t make me go through these iambic pentameter stuff, just tell me. But this poet, ancient Roman poet Ausonius. ‘Truth is the mother of hatred.\u2019 Think about it. What gets you in more trouble today than anything you can do other than breaking the law? What gets you in trouble? What you say. And if it happens to be true, if it violates political correctness? Why, what are you? You\u2019re a racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic Islamophobic insurgent. Honest is a close second. Decimus Magnus Ausonius. He lived 310 to 395. So the guy lived — even before medical advances. The guy lived to be 85 years old.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s your National Football League where I was deemed unsuitable. Clinton Portis on the Mike Wise Show, WJFK Radio in Washington yesterday about Mexico\u2019s TV Azteca correspondent Ines Sainz.<\/p>\n

PORTIS: You put women reporters in the locker room in position, uhhh, to see guys walking around naked and — and… You know, you — you sit in a locker room of 53 guys, and all of a sudden you see a nice woman in the locker room, uh, I — I think men are going to take the time and look and want to say something to that woman. You put a woman and you give her a choice of 53 athletes, somebody gotta be appealing to her, you know?<\/p>\n

HOSTS: (giggling)<\/p>\n

PORTIS: Somebody\u2019s gotta spark her interest or — or she\u2019s gonna want somebody, you know? I don\u2019t know what kind of woman won\u2019t. Uh, if you get to go in and look at 53 men\u2019s packages and —<\/p>\n

HOSTS: (giggling)<\/p>\n

PORTIS: — and you (garbled) none of this is attractive and, you know, I know you\u2019re doing your job but at the same time you\u2019re saying, ‘Well, I\u2019m going to keep my eye out if I see somebody worth talking to.\u2019 I\u2019m sure they do the same thing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mean lickety-split the NFL PR guy, Greg Aiello, came out and said, ‘Well, this is totally unacceptable. The NFL doesn\u2019t tolerate this kind of thing. No way.\u2019 Absolutely no way. And so Clinton apologized. And, by the way, I read Clinton\u2019s apology and it did not sound anything like what you just heard Clinton just say. Somebody wrote it. No, wasn\u2019t very polished. Oh, the apology, yeah. The apology was very polished. ‘You know, somebody gotta spark her interest, she gonna want somebody. I don\u2019t know what kind of woman won\u2019t. You get to go look at 53 men\u2019s packages.\u2019 Nobody said he\u2019s wrong. They just said, ‘We\u2019re not going to tolerate this. We\u2019re not gonna have this in the National Football League.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
