BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: So the inside-the-Beltway crowd is still wringing its hands today over the fact that there was no budget deal. The super committee failed to come to an agreement, and I'm blue in the face telling you that it behaved exactly as it was supposed to behave. It ended up doing exactly what it was supposed to do, and you're blue in the face hearing it. They were not supposed to come to an agreement. There was not supposed to be any kind of a deal. And, lo and behold, Obama held a five-minute press availability today. What did he do? He went out and blamed the Republicans. Mission accomplished! That was the whole point of this.

"Do-nothing Congress! A super committee that couldn't even come up with budget cuts and tax increases," that won't be implemented even 'til 2013. "They couldn't even do that!" and right on cue, there's Obama in front of the microphones and the cameras this morning saying, "Yep," and blaming the Republicans for it. According to Politico, Harry Reid's big contribution to the process was this. "In the thick of the negotiations, Reid ... visited Ted Kennedy's grave in Arlington National Cemetery with former Sen. Chris Dodd." Snerdley, I want you to listen to this. Tap him on the shoulder and listen to this. "In the thick of negotiations..." Snerdley's screening calls right now, and he doesn't listen to the show when that happen.

I want you to listen to this for when people call about it. "In the thick of the negotiations," Dingy Harry decided to have a Hillary Clinton/Eleanor Roosevelt moment. He took Chris Dodd; they went to Arlington National Cemetery; they wanted to commune with Senator Kennedy over what was happening. Chris Dodd " poured some whiskey on Kennedy's grave while Reid recited a prayer," I kid you not. This is reported in The Politico. The only thing missing was a waitress lying down on the grave with Chris Dodd then lying down or laying down on top of the waitress. Sort of a postmortem Dodd-Kennedy waitress sandwich.

So Dodd's pouring whisky on the grave; Dingy Harry is reciting a prayer. Harry Reid told this story to some lobbyists. There were witnesses. That's how The Politico knows about it. These are the kind of people that we're dealing with. These are the leaders of our nation. These are the statesmen seeking guidance. They go to the grave of Senator Kennedy at Arlington and pour some whisky on the grave while reciting a poem in the thick negotiation, and we know this again because Harry Reid bragged about doing this to a bunch of lobbyists to show them how committed he was to the process. I kid you not.

If the GOP had any balls and decided to fight fire with fire, we could make the Dems a minority party for the next 50 years.

it is all part of the plan.

[colorado tanker]

I heard about this and thought, great, at least we'll get a little bit of spending reduction out of this.

I heard Obummer's presser and thought he was so snarky he probably won't get much mileage out of this with independents.

[SENTINEL]

Actually it seems to me the GOP put their foot down. I'm with Morris on this one, it's a win for conservatives, proof they are standing firm, and a bad omen for Obama and the dems next year.

OUR SINGLE BIGGEST THREAT IS CLINTON's POLITICAL CLONE, MITT ROMNEY !

[colorado tanker]

I’m glad Morris thinks this cuts in our favor. I think so, but I am rather, well, partisan.

[SaxxonWoods]

A rare win for Republicans and America.

[SorbetCon]

Republicans in congress already plan to botch the automatic cuts. Attempts will be made to protect defense spending. Once they start tearing up the automatic cuts they will have basically handed Obama a win. All the hysteria over raising the debt ceiling? All for naught. Watch the same Republicans who demanded these automatic cuts squirm while they try to weasel out and protect their interests.

[Nebr FAL owner]

That would require the Republicans to do two things,first grow a spine & second realize that the Democrat party is no longer loyal to the United States & its Constitution.

Till these things happen the GOP will continue to get constantly bitch slapped by the Democrats.
