Hey...that must have been before my time. What was that about?
Thanks!
Oh well, here goes.
Rush would announce a new "Senator Kennedy Update." Then you would hear this water sound: a loud gurgling, gulp, gulp, gulp gurgling sound. Then El Rushbo would say in a very serious voice: "Those were the last human sounds of Mary Jo Kopechne." Then he would reveal the latest sanctimonious idiocy of Senator Kennedy.
When I first heard that I got chills. It was very edgy and raw way of portraying Senator Kennedy as the biggest hypocrit in the country. Over time the gurgling sound became known as the "gurgling cod."
