\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, Cookie, Cookie, Cookie<\/a>, you gotta get me something.  The FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, was just reelected as the president of FIFA, and give me like the last couple of minutes of his acceptance, maybe three where he\u2019s (imitating Blatter), “You can thank God or maybe if you like Allah, you can thank Allah, whatever your God, I promise you, we will have a FIFA that when my next term is completed, it will be in a strong position.” <\/p>\n

Anyway, it was hilarious. And when it was over, Wolf Blitzer goes to the reporter, said (paraphrasing), “Does this guy not get it? Does this guy not know the organization he runs is under indictment?” The guy that doesn\u2019t get it is Blitzer. These guys don\u2019t have any idea what\u2019s really gone on. Since the Obama Justice Department has proclaimed these FIFA guys to be bad guys, then that\u2019s all Wolf needs to know, they\u2019re all bad guys. And Wolf expects them all to come out and commit suicide in public to make amends. And this guy came out and didn\u2019t commit suicide, didn\u2019t admit guilt, didn\u2019t say anything except, we\u2019re kicking butt here at FIFA, and we\u2019re gonna keep kicking butt at FIFA, and screw any of you who don\u2019t think it or like it. <\/line><\/p>\n

And Wolf can\u2019t believe the guy didn\u2019t turn himself in and ask to be killed. (laughing) It just struck me as funny. So we\u2019ll get it because I\u2019m sure we were rolling on it, we\u2019ll have it for you in a moment. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Were we go. Live on CNN this afternoon, the international soccer president reelected for a fifth term, Sepp Blatter. We have a portion of his acceptance speech. This was in Zurich.<\/p>\n

BLATTER: I take the responsibility to bring back FIFA. We do it, we do it. And I\u2019m convinced we can do it. But I was thinking, it was in meditation. I\u2019m a faithful man and I said, “Now God, Allah or whoever is this extraordinary — whatever it is — spirit in the world that we believe, we believe. <\/p>\n

They can help us to bring back this FIFA where we shall be. And I tell you and I promise you, in the end of my term I will give this FIFA to my successor in a very, very strong, strong position. A robust FIFA and a good FIFA. We have to work together. We will ask me what age? It\u2019s not an age. The age is no problem, always told you. You\u2019ll have people there are 50 that look old. <\/p>\n

(applause) <\/p>\n

Sorry, sorry, sorry, I didn\u2019t know that we have so many 50 years old people here. <\/p>\n

(laughter) <\/p>\n

Definitely not. But, ladies and gentlemen, you know, I told you at the beginning or when we started for this election, I like you. I like my job. And I like to be with you. I\u2019m not perfect. Nobody\u2019s perfect. But we will do a good job together, I\u2019m sure. So I thank you so much. I thank you for the trust and confidence, trust and confidence, together we go! Let\u2019s go FIFA! Let\u2019s go, FIFA! Thank you! Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. <\/p>\n

(applause).<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it. His name again is Sepp Blatter. And Wolf Blitzer could not believe what he had just seen.<\/p>\n

<\/a>BLITZER: What a piece of work that guy is! I guess that\u2019s typical of his behavior, does he not realize what\u2019s going on right now with all these charges of accusation among so many of his top leaders right below him at FIFA?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What do you expect him to do, Wolf? He\u2019s not mentioned in the indictments. What\u2019s he supposed to, quit? Commit suicide? What\u2019s he supposed to do, go up and praise Obama, beg for forgiveness? What\u2019s he supposed to do? He\u2019s untainted by it. And it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s acting that way. I just think the whole thing is hilarious. <\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s this guy, the soccer dad who broad down FIFA, Chuck Blazer. Get this. “He went from suburban New York kid soccer coach to flying on private jets.” Listen to this. “One apartment in Trump Tower for himself, a second next door for his cats. More luxury apartments in Florida and the Bahamas. Credit card charges totaling $26 million. Another $20 million in his pocket…. A private meeting with Vladimir Putin. Nights at one of the best tables in the fabled Manhattan night spot Elaine\u2019s, feasts at such fine restaurant as Campagnola and Dutch. Chuck Blazer billed all of it to FIFA.” And he gained 400 pounds in the process. He got to 450 pounds. He got caught. He\u2019s the informant. How do you rack up $26 million in credit card charges? Well, it\u2019s just beyond most people\u2019s comprehension. What color is that card? Platinum, black? What color is that card — 26 million! I know it was over years. <\/p>\n
