Never Argue with an Idiot: Jill from Ithaca, New York
Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | 1/27/06 | Rush and Jill from Ithaca

Posted on 02/01/2006 1:52:10 PM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

CALLER: Hello, Rush. How are you doing today?

RUSH: Fine, thank you.

CALLER: Okay. Who was in power, who was in office, or power, synonymous these days, when we were attacked on 9/11? Which administration was it?

RUSH: That would be the Bush administration, Jill.

CALLER: That's correct. And did they not have knowledge it was going to from August 6th when Georgie was at the ranch?

RUSH: Yeah. He knew it was going to happen.

CALLER: Yeah?

RUSH: He knew it was going to happen. Look, you and I both know he let it happen because he needed a crisis to cement his presidency as a great leader and a great cowboy. The Clinton people, after the attacks, said, "Gee, why couldn't this happen when we were in office?"

CALLER: Clinton administration warned those people. They did not choose to listen.

RUSH: That doesn't matter, I'm just saying --

CALLER: It does matter. People are dead because Bush didn't listen.

RUSH: No, no, no. Jill, you're missing -- I'm agreeing with you here, honey.

CALLER: I'm not a honey. Please do not do that.

RUSH: Okay, I'm sorry. Dear. I'm agreeing with you. Bush knew. Everybody knows Bush knew. Whether Clinton warned them or not is irrelevant to me. He still knew. I'm just saying that the Clinton administration was wishing something like this had happened on their watch so they, too, could have a chance for greatness.

CALLER: They could have let it happen on New Year's Eve 2000. They stopped something like that from happening.

RUSH: Well, I have to disagree, the Clinton administration had really nothing to do with that. That was an alert Customs agent.

CALLER: It was still under the Clinton administration who put their efforts into protecting us.

RUSH: Okay, if we're going to say that then we're going to have to say that the new phenomena that oral sex is the most popular high school activity in America today got started during the Clinton administration.

CALLER: What does that have to do with it, Rush?

RUSH: I'm just using your logic, if an alert Customs agent, not the Clinton administration --

CALLER: Rush, it was the Clinton administration. They didn't let it happen. I lost someone in 9/11. Thank you very much.

RUSH: I'm sorry to hear that.

CALLER: Well, thank you.

RUSH: Yes.

CALLER: I'm sure you are.

RUSH: I very much am sorry.

CALLER: You're perpetuating this nonsense. How many lies has Bush told the American people?

RUSH: Okay, now, let me be serious with you for a moment. We all lost someone on 9/11. We lost 3,000 of our fellow citizens. Now, do you actually believe, Jill, do you actually believe Bush knew this was going to happen and let it happen?

CALLER: I believe he let it happen. History will prove that he knew it.

RUSH: You really believe that?

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: You really believe this?

CALLER: Yes. And he's not being honest with the American people.

RUSH: Huh-uh, of course not.

CALLER: Listen, I believe Scott Ritter. I listened to Scott Ritter since day one that they didn't have weapons of mass destruction.

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: And I'm not a nuclear scientist, and I knew, in my -- because --

RUSH: Wait.

CALLER: -- I trusted him. He didn't have an agenda.

RUSH: Hold it a minute. You're changing the subject. Scott Ritter's got nothing to do with 9/11. Why did Bush let it happen?

CALLER: Why did he let it happen?

RUSH: Yes. Why did Bush want 3,000 Americans to die?

CALLER: So he could turn around and convince the American people, as he did with part of them, that we could attack Iraq.

RUSH: Oh. So he allowed that to happen. Do you know this the poet laureate of New Jersey, what was his name --

CALLER: I honestly don't know.

RUSH: His name is Amiri Baraka or something like that. He takes it a step further. He says it was a Jewish plot, that all the Jews in the 9/11 towers in New York, the World Trade Center, got out because they knew it was coming.

CALLER: That's -- well, he can be -- you know, that can be disproven because the Kantowitz [sic] firm lost a lot of people that were probably Jewish.

RUSH: Wait a minute, the poet laureate of New Jersey is a brilliant man.

CALLER: Brilliant and insightful--

RUSH: I mean, if Bush knew, Bush knew. If Bush knew, Bush supporters knew and Bush got a lot of Jewish supporters. It all fits, Jill, if you just think about it, just be consistent with the way you're thinking, it all fits.

CALLER: Listen, Rush, you know, he's lying. He's not even admitting to knowing Abramoff. Now, come on. Abramoff helped him put his interior cabinet together. So, come on, the man has not been honest since day one. Why should I believe him at all?

RUSH: Jill, let me ask you a question. Do you approve or disapprove of the president's wiretapping program?

CALLER: Are you going to include the word terrorist or not?

RUSH: I asked the question the way I intended to ask it. Do you approve the wiretapping program?

CALLER: Not the way it's being conducted, no.

RUSH: Well, so --

CALLER: There was a CIA agent --

RUSH: So you want it to happen again, then. The president let it happen the first time and now you don't want him to connect the dots this time so you want it to happen again, Jill, that's the logic of your thinking.

CALLER: Come on, get off it.

RUSH: Jill, you are a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance and I feel so sorry for you that you actually believe what you believe.

CALLER: I'm not a drug addict, at least.

RUSH: It is very sad.

CALLER: That's below the belt. I apologize for that, but don't you accuse me of something, you self-righteous guy. You're so self-righteous.

RUSH: Jill, you sound like both my ex-wives now. Would you shut up for a second.

CALLER: No, but I'll be quiet.

RUSH: I'm trying to talk to your soul and your heart, and I don't know how deep your soul or your heart are, because your mind has got you so clouded. But we live in a serious time in the world today, and people who think the things that you think are the impediment to the security and safety of the country. And I don't know who's responsible for putting all this pollution in your head, but I can't tell you how sorry I feel for you. You have an intellectually indefensible position, you are living and breathing and dying in conspiracies.

CALLER: And you're not?

RUSH: Of course not.

CALLER: No. And you believe Bush? You know, he's lying to your face and you believe him? How can you defend your believing this man, how can you defend that?

RUSH: Very simply. I know him, I know his heart, I know his soul, I believe him. He's a trustworthy individual. You don't know him.

CALLER: No, and I don't wish to know him.

RUSH: You don't have the chance to know him because you're not going to give any alternative view other than this poison that's coursing through your veins.

CALLER: Rush, you're just a name caller.

RUSH: I feel sorry for these people. You're taking the people that you believe in down the tubes with you, because it's people like you, Jill, who want to hear -- you want to hear Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer say the same stuff you're saying and then you'll send them money; and they're getting closer and closer and closer to sounding just like you, and you wonder why you've lost the House, the Senate, and the White House with no hope of getting them back.

CALLER: I didn't hear that last thing.

RUSH: It doesn't matter. You're not listening anyway.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Our last caller told the screener she wanted to talk about Quakers and vegans. Unfortunately, we never got there, folks. That was Jill from Ithaca. Was it Cindy Sheehan's sister?

I also feel sorry for people of her ilk. What a sad and lonely world to live in, to always be suspicious of conspiracy, to consistently make a fool of themselves.

Last evening, my husband and I went to watch his college basketball team play on a cable channel we don't have. At this sports bar, the SOTU was on mute. There were three men there making some of the most inappropriate and absurd anti-Bush comments I've ever heard.

Of course, all three guys were sitting alone, were very unattractive, looked disheveled, and basically were making fools of themselves. My husband had to hold me back from asking one of the guys to pipe down. We both agreed that it must be a very lonely life to lead...

But Jill, Scott Ritter told the Senate Intelligence and Foriegn Relations Committee on Sept 3, 1998 that Iraq had three nuclear weapons assemblies and only lack fissile material. Was he lying then?

After watching one episode (total waste of time) of "American Idol", at my daughter's request, I have no problem believing this woman's emotionally retarded rant.

They're out there people . . . (background music to "Dark Shadows")

Another member of the Tinfoil Hat Brigade heard from. Rush handled the encounter very well, I thought.

Jill said (and I quote): "Abramoff helped him put his interior cabinet together."

1 lone super-lobbyist appoints how many people to how many positions within one of President Bush's many Departments???

Why would you be upset at someone calling you "honey?" Who cares? Get over it! It's a whole lot better than some other words she could have been called....
