Listen to Rush...
(…play the new Kerry update theme song and discuss wet hamsters)

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I got an e-mail, just now received it. It's from Diane Rich in Woburn, Massachusetts. "Hello, Rush, I just thought I would share this thought with you. It seems the Kerry slogan from last night, "Help is on the way," if you listen to that it reminded me of Mighty Mouse and his slogan, "Here I come to save the day!"
TRANSCRIPT BREAK
A little audition here, ladies and gentlemen, wasn't enough time to audition this during the commercial break. This is just for us here. You can listen in while we make an executive decision whether we want to use this.
RUSH: I think it works. That's "Help is on the way. Mighty Mouse is here to save the day." The John Kerry update theme song based on one of the many, many slogans in his speech last night. I tell you why else it works. You know a mouse is a rodent, a mouse is vermon, and Kerry's daughter last night tells us he gave CPR to a hamster (story). Can you imagine that? CPR to a hamster, ladies and gentlemen, and wanting big-time credit. Let's listen, Alexandra Kerry telling the story of mighty mouse coming to save the day to save a hamster.
ALEXANDRA KERRY: We were standing on a dock waiting for a boat to take us on a summer trip.
RUSH: Stop the tape a moment. I actually didn't hear this. I was getting a massage the time. Here we go.
ALEXANDRA KERRY: Vanessa, the scientist, had packed all of the animals, including her favorite hamster. Our overzealous golden retriever got tangled in his leash and knocked the hamster cage off the dock. We watched as Licorice, the unlucky hamster as he became termed, bubbled down into a watery doom. Now, that might have been the end of the story, a mock funeral at sea and some tears for a hampster lost, but my dad jumped in, grabbed an oar, fished the cage from the water, hunched over the soggy hamster and began to administer CPR.
RUSH: Ted Kennedy would have done the same thing. What's the big deal? Ted Kennedy would have dived right in there to save that hamster. This works. The Mighty Mouse theme coming to save the day. It works! You know what's amazing about this? George Neumayr, editor of American Spectator, in an online column, points out here is a party so convoluted that the aspirants daughter goes out there and makes this big heart-string tug play on the compassion and the concern for life of all living things of her father John Kerry, who jumps in the murky depths to save a hamster and then gave it CPR. As Mr. Neumayr points out, this is the same party that would not do the same thing for a human fetus. Well, he's got a point. Does he not have a point?
END TRANSCRIPT
Yay! Let's hear it for the hamsters! (laughing)
I wonder who came up with the idea because a women caller to the local talk show before Rush's show mentioned mighty mouse and Kerry.
I never get to hear rush, but was off work at 11:00 today and got to hear this.
I was in tears!
A woman, Diane Rich in Woburn, Massachusetts is given credit for the idea at the beginning of the piece.
Laura Ingraham did the Mighty Mouse theme song 2 hours before Rush came on.
I am in Seattle.
We know he pitches like a girlie-man, how about his swing?
Great job!
Well, you have my sympathy.
Rush also had a caller today that mentioned how brave Bush is for putting himself and his family in danger to persue the war on terror. He will probably have a price on his head for the rest of his life. I wonder if that is the true reason Clinton did not act and if that is why Kerry would hide behind a rock before doing anything to counter terrorism?
That's great, but she didn't post it for those of us who don't listen to her show.
rush needs to add ONE thing to that mighty mouse song, which is HILARIOUS...he needs to add the voiceover of kerry saying, "john kerry, reporting for duty!" along with the song. it is soooo funny...
Yes! That would be great!
LOL!
She forgot what happened next: when the hamster finally opened his eyes, he looked up to see who had save him and said, "Put me back in! Put me back in!!!"
