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?

No, Serling was born in Binghamton. He later taught at Ithaca College, but lived in Interlaken.

I heard most of that caller's rant on Friday after lunch. I had the radio on KLBJ Sunday when they have a replay of Friday's program. I missed the first half of the call on Friday, and darn near wrecked my pickup on Sunday. What a moonbat.

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

I burst out laughing in my office when I read this. One of the funniest lines in talk radio history, in my opinion. LOL.

Without a doubt, he's the best radio voice I've ever heard. A couple of years ago I heard a radio broadcast of the induction ceremony for the Radio Broadcasters Hall of Fame, and almost every person who was inducted that year -- regardless of their political leanings -- got up at the dinner to receive their award and publicly thanked Rush for all that he has done for the radio industry.

Wonderful! He's done a lot for radio, and also for the GOP.

If this caller didn't have a mouth to let all the hate spew out, she's collapse upon herself down to a ball of ice.

Jimmy Carter must be her muse.

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

"Everybody knows" that there's only ONE corrupt lobbyist on K-Street...

Jill must be another product of the publik skools.

I could be wrong, but given the burning need for the local Ithaca paper to put as much of a local "face" as possible on any story if someone had lost someone in 9-11, I think it would have been an article in the paper.

The dog got loose again. I wish we had never elected that knuckle-dragging simpleton in the White House. Because of him, my dog's going to roll in deer guts.

You know, Hank - I don't remember us being this bad, even during the thick of the impeachment wars. Do you?

I'm beginning to develop a theory about a "Liberal Bubble", where all these Leftists are simply insulated from reality by their skools, their moovees and their teevees.

38% of the country lives perpetually in this Liberal Bubble.

This is probably why our garbage wasn't picked up yesterday...

Actually, Karl Rove told me it was because an NSA mindtap revealed that you may have slighted Halliburton in your thoughts a couple of weeks ago...

There was another bimbette on recently who had a hard time remmebering WWII was in the '40s.

She called up whining that OBL hadn't been caught and Rush was trying to draw an analogy by asking her when Adolph Hitler was caught.

She hemmed and hawed before finally saying the '40s.

He then told her that Hitler had never been caught.

Hard to argue that liberals are not the brightest bulbs in the bunch. But they're the first ones to tell us that they know better than we do.
