RUSH: We have this 13-minute interview I did with Scarborough today on his show on PMSNBC. But to understand the beginning of the interview, you have to hear this. They had Erin Burnett on preceding me, "the Street Sweetie," and she was upset that she was being "bigfooted" by me. This is what she said.
ERIN BURNETT: I do want you to know, since you moved to 30 Rock I'm just patents, you know? I'm getting "bigfooted" by Rush Limbaugh today.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Mmm-hmm.
BURNETT: I like Rush and everything but, you know, I used to be a part of this show and now I just get the boot every day. All right. I'm going to listen in to Rush. I want to hear what he has to say.
RUSH: All right, so they went to a break after that. I was wired up and listening because I gotta get ready for my own interview. So it was time for my interview, and here's how it went...
SCARBOROUGH: Welcome back to Morning Joe, live from 30 Rock. Let's bring in Rush Limbaugh right now, a guy -- you know, we've got "radio talk show host," but this guy actually helped create New Media and certainly helped elect a lot of us in 1994. Rush, thanks so much for being with us.
RUSH: Nice to finally be with you, Joe. Good morning.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, greatly appreciate it. Let's start by talking about the Republican field. There was a story in the Washington Post this past week that a lot of --
RUSH: Wait a minute. Joe, Joe, Joe, before you go there, I have to say something.
SCARBOROUGH: Yes?
RUSH: I just heard Erin Burnett --
SCARBOROUGH: Ha!
RUSH: -- sounding a little wifey worrying about you guys "bigfooting" her.
SCARBOROUGH: (laughs) Yeah.
RUSH: Erin, you said you're going to be listening.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
RUSH: It's a thrill for me to know that you're listening to me. I love listening to myself, and it's great to know that you're listening to me, too. Nobody can "bigfoot" you, Erin.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah. Erin is truly an international superstar.
RUSH: Absolutely.
SCARBOROUGH: Have you had Erin on your show yet?
BURNETT: (laughing)
RUSH: Pardon me?
SCARBOROUGH: Have you had Erin on your show yet?
RUSH: No. You know I don't have guests. I don't have time. I'm the expert, Joe. (laughter)
BURNETT: (laughing)
SCARBOROUGH: That's right. That's right.
BURNETT: I'll have Rush on. SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, well, you need to get Rush on your show. But, Erin, what do you think about Rush saying you were a little "wifey" today?
BURNETT: "Wifey today," he said?
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, kind of --
RUSH: Well, you were whining about all these guys "bigfooting" you, and then they invite you to the studio, and you act like, "I'm not coming to your studio if you're going to 'bigfoot' me."
BURNETT: Well, I got "bigfooted" out. That's what happened, Rush. It's a long complicated saga.
RUSH: Erin, nobody can "bigfoot" you. You're too big; nobody can "bigfoot" you.
BURNETT: (laughing) Thanks for believing in me.
RUSH: The truth is that anybody who follows you, Erin, can't match what you've done. So that's the way you need to look at it.
Absolutely hilarious! Erin Burnett is really likes Rush. This is a gem you have to read to believe. Dead on funny exchange with a beautiful woman who looks like this -
ERIN BURNETT ON GOOD MORNING JOE
Way to go, Rush. Way to go!
