RUSH: Has anybody come up with a ribbon? That\u2019s what they need tonight. You know, the AIDS ribbon is red. The breast cancer ribbon is pink. I used to know all these. They need a ribbon tonight. They\u2019ve gotta come up with the right color and the right cause. Dare anybody come up with a ribbon for Tucson? (interruption) The deficit awareness ribbon? Yeah, the dollar bill. We had our own ribbon: The deficit awareness ribbon, folded into one of those shapes.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, I did not know this. A lot of people are gonna think I\u2019m making that up, but I did not know this. It does happen to me a lot. It\u2019s distressing how often this happens to me. Moments ago on this program, I said, ‘What about a ribbon for tonight, anybody got a ribbon?\u2019 I\u2019m totally joking, ‘What color\u2019s it\u2019s gonna be? Let\u2019s come up with a ribbon for tonight.\u2019 <\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got one, folks. During the commercial break somebody sent me a note. It\u2019s a Fox News story: ‘Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., and Michael McCaul, R-Texas, have asked lawmakers attending the State of the Union to wear black and white ribbons in honor of the Arizona shooting. … The letter to colleagues reads in part: ‘In tribute to the victims of the Arizona tragedy, we encourage Members, and everyone attending the State of the Union address Tuesday night to wear a black\/white lapel ribbon. … The white ribbon represents hope for a peaceful, nonviolent society. The black ribbon is in remembrance of all who have died and been wounded as a result of violence. As the Tucson community works to heal and comes together in solidarity, Reps. McCaul and Wasserman Schultz believe it would be fitting that Members, Administration officials and others, wear these ribbons on Tuesday as a symbol of solidarity with the community and the nation.” (interruption) Is the what far behind? Sing-along? I don\u2019t think there\u2019s gonna be a sing-along. I don\u2019t know. (interruption) No, not Ebony and Ivory. Imagine, We Are the World, who knows. Civility ribbon. The RINO ribbon. Why not blue and red ribbons, if you\u2019re gonna talk about America?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, one other thing here: This ribbon tonight, the black and white ribbon? This is the idea of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Michael McCaul. He\u2019s a Republican from Texas; Wasserman Schultz is from Florida, Boca. The ribbon already exists, the black and white ribbon. I looked this up during the break. It\u2019s a pretty dirty trick to steal the official ribbon of carcinoid cancer. Carcinoid cancer occurs in the stomach.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Andy in Brooklyn, glad you waited, sir. You\u2019re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Puerto Rican dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Okay. Part of the trick proposed by the National Socialist party tonight at the State of the Union is to slap the Tea Party in the face. They want to get the Republicans to sit on their side and say, ‘Look, they\u2019re stupid, they voted for you, they don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing, you come over here and you sit with the winners because those idiots didn\u2019t know what they were doing,\u2019 and the Republicans are going right with it. They\u2019re slapping the Tea Party right in the face.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, some are. We don\u2019t know how many Republicans actually have a date tonight with a Democrat. We don\u2019t know how many there are. <\/p>\n

CALLER: One is too many.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, yeah, but you\u2019re the second guy now, you\u2019re the second guy to call and suspect that really the objective of this is a slap at the Tea Party. Folks, if you weren\u2019t here for the first hour, Paul Ryan, from Wisconsin, is gonna do the Republican reply tonight in response to Obama. He is being ripped to shreds already by the Democrats and by the media as a guy who wants to end Social Security, as a guy who wants to end Medicare. Paul Ryan is being talked about as a guy who wants to literally cause old people to die. Now, I want to know what Democrat\u2019s gonna sit next to this monster tonight at the State of the Union show, \u2019cause that\u2019s how they are portraying him. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Ray in Livermore, California. Hey, Ray, what\u2019s up? How are you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Very good, Rush, wonderful program.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I called about Obama\u2019s call for innovations and inventions. But real quick on the ribbons, I have a suggestion for ribbons today. Republicans can take a two foot piece of yellow ribbon and pin it at the top of their shoulders and pin the other end down around their belt line on their back, because (unintelligible) yellow stripe down (unintelligible) their back. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Are you on a speakerphone?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, let me get off it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, \u2019cause all the other —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Can you hear me, Rush?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but we\u2019re also hearing all the other room noise. It sounds like you\u2019re actually putting on that ribbon as you describe it to us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So they need a yellow ribbon running from the top their shoulders down their back to their belt line if they\u2019re gonna sit with the Democrats. Pelosi is basically Lucy in the Peanuts holding the football and the Republicans are Charlie Brown, and they\u2019re about to fall again.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But to the innovation part of his speech and the inventions, as long as you\u2019re inventing another Chevy Volt that goes 40 miles or some windmills or solar panels, those are the innovations and inventions Obama\u2019s interested in. If I were to create a carbon eating gas powered V8 that gets 500 horsepower and a hundred miles per gallon, I don\u2019t think Obama would be interested in that invention, and I\u2019d like to get your —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know exactly what you\u2019re saying by that, and I think you\u2019re probably right. Obama innovation isn\u2019t innovation. Innovation, inventions, investments, all this translates to spending. It\u2019s all it means. It\u2019s just excuses for more government spending. Don\u2019t forget the guy, the UK Telegraph yesterday, who wrote accurately about this. This is simply a State of the Union with a push for more spending, more government spending, bigger government using the same theories that the previous spending bills had to underlie them, spending equals economic growth, spending equals jobs, spending equals economic recovery. That\u2019s how it\u2019s gonna be spun. They know the purpose of this spending, and it\u2019s not helpful for the country, by design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
