Here I Come To Save the Day!: Rush Portrays Kerry As Mighty Mouse Comic Hero
EIB Network ^ | July 30, 2004 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 07/30/2004 6:55:48 PM PDT by O.C. - Old Cracker

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

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?

I wonder if he used a barrier device for the respirations. You can never be too careful out there, you never know what diseases that hamster could have had.

And it could have been Richard Gere's, on loan. Hideous.

I've heard Rush mention abortion more in the past few weeks than I have in years. I think it may have something to do with Marta being, as Rush would say, histoire.

I'm glad the Rush I first knew (and who made this family Republican) seems to be back!

Sam Kinison, God rest his soul, had the PC establishment's number years before everyone else did. He was foul-mouthed, lived hard and died worse, but by God he was FUNNY.

Yep, that was the Rush of old, when he did the Mighty Mouse gag. I got a big laugh out of it.

Savage was also a riot today. He was playing audio clips of various Democrats and their remarks, followed by an audio clip from the movie Mommy Dearest, "NO....MORE...WIRE...HANNNNNNGGGGERRRRS!"

I was driving and laughing so hard I almost had to pull over! ;-D

Excellent anti-Kerry video laying out the VietNam case against him...

Great to forward and spread to the public.

Kerry Fitness Reports in Vietnam Show Him Unfit for Command
(Explodes Central Kerry Campaign Lie)

Kerry’s FITREPs are awash in dings, and some of the reports border on the adverse, particularly his combat FITREPs. The FITREPs convey significant performance problems and suggest problems in conduct, so much so that it is surprising that the campaign chose to release them. This may suggest that the FITREPs held from public view are even more adverse.

In what would customarily be an opportunity for a glowing “swan song” FITREP, the Commanding Officer of USS Gridley (DLG-21) tacitly blasts Kerry on his departure for Swift Boat duty by ranking him significantly below the norm in desirability for virtually every Navy assignment possible -– command, staff, whatever. He is a ship handler who is dinged in ship handling. He is in line for command, but his CO doesn’t want him near the bridge. He is slammed in all performance areas –- most notably and significantly in initiative and reliability. The “nice” narrative emphasizes performance in collateral duties, but in the grades and marks, the CO is telling the selection board and detailer loud and clear that this officer is lazy, unreliable and not suited for command. 3 SEP 68 (W.E. HARPER).
