RUSH: On the foreign money business we had the LA Times continuing the myth, helping to create the story line, feed the beast that the Republicans and the Chamber of Commerce are benefiting solely from the influx of foreign money. The Washington Post tried to get in on this big thing. ‘PACs Linked to Foreign Companies Legally Donate Millions to US Campaigns.\u2019 Now, the headline leaves out something very important. Donations to foreign companies, PACs, must come from US citizens or residents, and they make up a small fraction of overall political giving. So the Washington Post wanted to get in on this, and as they researched it they found out it\u2019s a nonstory. They found out it\u2019s a total — well, not lie, it\u2019s just a distraction. They also learned this: ‘One of the leading contributors to federal candidates among U.S. subsidiaries is BAE Systems, the Arlington County-based arm of the British defense and aerospace company. Records show BAE\u2019s PAC has given nearly $600,000 to candidates in this cycle, with 55 percent going to Democrats. Top recipients include Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.),\u2019 the rubber stamp for Chuck-U Schumer, ‘and Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.).\u2019<\/p>\n

So as they attempted to move the story along that the Republicans were benefiting from foreign money, the Chamber of Commerce, and Obama and Axelrod are demanding that the Chamber prove that they\u2019re not having terrible amounts of money influx, the Washington Post learns that more foreign money is going to Democrats than Republicans. So that\u2019s kinda out of the window. ‘Mark Shields on Friday accused the White House of making up the story about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce funneling foreign money into Republican campaigns. Appearing on PBS\u2019s Inside Washington, Shields said of the issue the Administration and many of their media minions have been harping on for over a week, ‘It was absolutely fallacious on their part. And they made it up, the White House did,” and that was that. It\u2019s at NewsBusters.org. Mark Shields accuses the White House of making up a story that\u2019s been popular in the news for over a week and then the topic on the TV show quickly changing, ho-hum, no big deal, they made it up. And they carried it. Mark ‘Maxi\u2019 Shields, (imitating Shields) ‘Hey, yeah, they made it up.\u2019<\/p>\n

This takes us to audio sound bite number 11, David Brooks. Last Friday night PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, David Brooks and Mark ‘Maxi\u2019 Shields doing analysis. During a discussion about this New York Times piece, the magazine interview with Obama, Jim Lehrer said, ‘Speaking of President Obama, there\u2019s this big piece in your newspaper Sunday magazine, Brooks, already been read by everybody, at least anybody who\u2019s got an advance copy and who is interested in politics about President Obama. What do you think of the piece, Mr. Brooks?\u2019<\/p>\n

BROOKS: I found it depressing. I found it depressing on a number of levels. The lesson I got was that their — they got — it\u2019s not their fault, they\u2019ve done the right thing, the country is not ready for us, Washington is not good enough for us. After Bill Clinton suffered a political setback in \u201994 he did some real thinking and some real adjusting of how to adjust. I would say at least judging from that piece this process of thought and rethinking has not started in this White House.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Precisely. They\u2019re not gonna moderate. Obama\u2019s not gonna move in the Republicans\u2019 direction like many ranking Republicans believe he will, and it\u2019s all based on the usual story line in Washington, that people want to get reelected. So the ranking Republican theory is Obama\u2019s gonna get shellacked and he\u2019s going to read that as people don\u2019t like his policies. Since he wants to get reelected, he\u2019s going to have to move away from his hard left ideas. David Brooks, reading the New York Times Sunday magazine, ‘I don\u2019t see this happening.\u2019 Now, Brooks, must be honest here, Brooks is one of these people that drank the Kool-Aid at the very beginning of this. Brooks is a guy who said of Obama, (paraphrasing) ‘I like the crease in his pants. He\u2019s smart. He\u2019s an intellectual, he\u2019s like us, not a radical, very, very, very moderate guy.\u2019 And so Brooks reads the New York Magazine piece and finds it depressing. None of this is their fault. They\u2019ve done the right things; the country is not ready for \u2019em; Washington is not good enough for \u2019em. <\/p>\n

Now, how is it that a brilliant intellectual like Brooks could not see that at the beginning and we could? All of us, we knew and we didn\u2019t even have to go to dinner with Obama like Brooks did at George Will\u2019s house. We knew Obama was a hard-left radical. There was no question about it. None of us were obsessed with hope that he would abandon that and move and govern from the precious center where these intellectuals seem to think all the right thinking people are, moderates. So Obama, he\u2019s moved on from blaming Bush. Now he\u2019s blaming you, he\u2019s blaming the stupid voters. Washington is not ready for \u2019em. That piece in the New York Times Sunday magazine actually said if Obama can\u2019t be great here, nobody can. If Obama can\u2019t do it, nobody can. He had supermajorities in the House and Senate. It\u2019s not as though the opposition coulda stopped him. They couldn\u2019t. Not legislatively. He couldn\u2019t even unify his own side. <\/p>\n

The Politico today has this story: ‘Democrats on health reform: Let us fix it — Nervous Democrats are grasping for a new message on their party\u2019s health care reform bill: Give us another shot, and we\u2019ll get it right this time. ‘I want to reform it and fix it and make sure that it works for small businesses and their families,\u2019 Alexi Giannoulias, the Democrat seeking President Barack Obama\u2019s old Senate seat, said on Meet the Press on Sunday. ‘If you can fix it — Democrats and Republicans agree on six or seven items — that\u2019s a pretty darn good start,\u2019 West Virginia Gov. and Democratic Senate candidate Joe Manchin told Fox News on Monday. ‘I\u2019d like to fix health care,\u2019 Democratic Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway said in a debate last week with Republican contender Rand Paul. ‘He wants to repeal it. And I think that\u2019s a stark difference.\u2019 … And even House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who helped rustle votes for the bill in March, told MSNBC\u2019s Ed Schultz late last month: ‘We have three years to make it better before it fully goes into effect.” <\/line>So the Democrats are running here admitting it\u2019s a debacle. The Democrats want to reform health care reform. It\u2019s kind of like they drove the health care car in the ditch and now they want the keys back. I mean you could throw Obama\u2019s analogy and metaphor right at them. Democrats on health reform: let us fix it before it fully goes into effect. Nobody on the Democrat side is running on the accomplishment. Nobody on the Democrat side is saying, ‘Look what we did, vote for us.\u2019 What they\u2019re saying is, ‘Look what we did, let us fix it.\u2019 Stunning. I love it. <\/line><\/p>\n

Another Politico story: ‘The Democrats\u2019 Brutal Weekend — More bad polls. More bad fundraising numbers. More dreary talk on the Sunday shows. It added up to a brutal weekend for Democrats, as the consensus among election analysts, already bearish on the party\u2019s prospects, took a turn for the worse over the past 48 hours. … Analyst Stu Rothenberg pegs the number of competitive seats at 100. Charlie Cook says it\u2019s 97. Virtually all of those seats are held by Democrats. Rothenberg is predicting a likely Republican gain of 40 to 50 seats, with 60 seats possible. Republicans need a net pickup of 39 seats to take the House. One House Democrat, reflecting widespread conversations with his colleagues, guessed Sunday that his party will lose 50 seats. Many, he said, are calling with urgent pleas for more contributions. The Senate may stay in Democratic hands — but only by the narrowest of margins, so slim that it will make a handful of moderates from both parties the only people who will decide whether anything gets done.\u2019 Well, that\u2019s just wonderful. This all equals gridlock, which is what we want. We want gridlock. So does the market, by the way. The Democrat majority is so slim it will make a handful of moderates from both parties the only people who will decide whether anything gets done in the Senate. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go back to David Brooks again on The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on Friday night. They\u2019re talking about the New York Times Sunday magazine piece, and Mark ‘Maxi\u2019 Shields says to Brooks, ‘How would you like to be a Democrat member of the House fighting for your life right now, getting hit over the head for having voted for the stimulus and have the president say in the New York Times Sunday magazine, ‘There\u2019s no such thing as a shovel-ready job.”<\/p>\n

BROOKS: Yeah, I shouldn\u2019t have confessed this. He said this to me off the record about a year ago. It was obvious. I mean you\u2019re trying to build a stimulus package, I mean they were trying to build it, believe me, they would have loved to have filled it with infrastructure jobs. But the projects just didn\u2019t exist, they couldn\u2019t do it, they couldn\u2019t find them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is from a guy who loved Obama. This is from a guy, supposed conservative columnist in the New York Times who now admits that Obama told him off the record, hey, by the way, you know what? There aren\u2019t any shovel-ready job, we\u2019re just saying that cause I know these stupid Americans will go for it, it\u2019s a way to sell it but there aren\u2019t any shovel-ready jobs. And we\u2019re just now hearing about it from a New York Times columnist, and he said, yeah, I wish I coulda reported it but it was off the record to me. Peter Baker who wrote the magazine piece got it on the record from Obama, and Brooks was praising him. Now, okay, Brooks is a columnist, slash, reporter, and something was said to him off the record, I understand he\u2019s going to protect that. But shouldn\u2019t that at least flavor his opinion pieces on Obama in the ensuing year? If he knows that Obama is lying to the American people about shovel-ready jobs, which was the number one sales slogan for infrastructure to get the stimulus passed, shouldn\u2019t that make Brooks suspicious of other things? It didn\u2019t, because during the whole year he kept writing glowingly of Obama and holding out hope that Obama would be this miracle man everybody portrayed him as being. So what good is David Brooks? He knew it a year ago. He knew substantively that Obama\u2019s a cynic, arrogant, filled with contempt, and yet he writes of him in the exact opposite way, brilliant, forward thinking, moderate, willing to bend with the times, all these dreamy things that these moderate intellectuals fantasize about. Which, of course, by virtue of being fantasies, never come true. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the Mark ‘Maxi\u2019 Shields sound bite. Inside Washington, the syndicated show, during the roundtable, the host Gordon Peterson talking about the Chamber of Commerce attack, foreign money and all of that.<\/p>\n

PETERSON: Well, it was absolutely — it was absolutely fallacious on their part and they made it up, the White House did. I mean, is there some foreign money? Perhaps. But that isn\u2019t the story. The real story is domestic money.<\/p>\n
