RUSH: The haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, was on DNCTV yesterday. The info babe anchorette Alex Witt talked to Senator Kerry, who served in Vietnam. And she said, "A 20-year relationship, Reverend Wright married him, he was the one who baptized -- godparent, in essence, to his two daughters. How personally painful is this for Barack Obama?"
KERRY: Well, Alex, could I just say something to you? Obviously, it's painful, and he said it. But you know something? You folks need to let go of this. Television needs to stop dwelling on something that is in the past. I think you guys have gotta focus on the things that really matter to the American electorate.
RUSH: Like...?
KERRY: I think the other thing is just worn out, old history now. This guy had his narcissistic moment, and it's finished.
RUSH: It's not over yet, Senator Kerry. We haven't heard the last of the narcissist Reverend Jeremiah Wright. I think it takes a narcissist to know one. This is rich, Senator Kerry, the haughty John Kerry, calling Jeremiah Wright a narcissist. Mike, we gotta go back, because he's just given me an example. I gotta find Michelle (My Belle) Obama. Yes, audio sound bite number nine, before we get back in order. Michelle (My Belle) Obama was on the Today Show today, along with her husband, Barack, who, in case some of you forgot, is running for president. Meredith Vieira said, "Michelle, do you personally feel that the reverend betrayed your husband?"
MICHELLE OBAMA: You know what I think, Meredith? We gotta move forward. You know, this conversation doesn't help my kids. You know, it doesn't help kids out there who are looking for us to make decisions and choices about how we're going to better fund education.
RUSH: Oh, come on. You think the kids are worried about how you're going to fund education? All they want is to be able to play at recess. They can't even play at recess anymore. In fact, I saw there's a story, I didn't print it out, but there's a story, school district somewhere is looking to hire somebody, pay 'em $46,000 a year to work one hour a day managing play, permissible play during recess at some grade school. But you can't play dodgeball, you can't play tag, you can't do anything. Anyway, this is the old Clinton line. Bob Dole really reamed him in a debate, and Clinton said, "No attack ever fed a hungry child," and here's Michelle (My Belle) Obama, "Well, that's not doing anything about kids," and so forth. "Can't we move on to the future?" This is pathetic. You people in the Obama campaign are disappointing me. For example, where are the Obama spokespeople? You in the Obama campaign, I know you're worried the next shoe to drop is going to be Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn. Why not put them to work? Have them go out and talk about their good friend Susan Rosenberg? Does the name ring a bell, folks?
Do you people in the Obama campaign even know who Susan Rosenberg is? She was a terrorist in the Weather Underground, and Bill Clinton pardoned her on his last day in office, out from under a 58-year sentence for terrorist bombings. So, yeah, you think you're waiting for the next shoe to drop on Bill Ayers, where is the Obama campaign out there talking about Bill Clinton, husband of Hillary, pardoning a Weather Underground terrorist. And, by the way, there's another name, Linda Evans. Linda Evans, another Weather Underground terrorist that Clinton pardoned on his last day in office, out from under her 40-year sentence for terrorist bombings. Who knows Rosenberg and Evans better than Ayers and Dohrn? Come on, Obama, you got Ayers and Dohrn out there. Go out and get them talking about the associations with the Weather Underground that the Clintons have. This campaign is really letting me down. It's disappointing me. Frankly, Obama, I'm getting tired of having to waste precious broadcast time here on the EIB Network telling you how to straighten this out. You have people out there speaking for you like John Kerry?
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Dick Durbin sort of like loses his cool lecturing Andrea Mitchell. She played this sound bite for Durbin. This sound bite is Obama right after his "courageous" press conference on Jeremiah Wright going right back to his old line of blowing off the Wright story. So this is a sound bite from Tuesday night, Senator Obama in Hickory, North Carolina, after the big press conference on Jeremiah Wright.
OBAMA: They're talking about, uhh, W-w-what -- what? W-who is he? Do we know his values?" and, "He's not wearing a flag pin right now," and, you know, "His former pastor said some crazy stuff."
RUSH: Okay. So she plays Durbin that sound bite, and then she says, "Isn't he trying to trivialize an issue that only a couple hours earlier said was really very important and needed to be acknowledged?" (cont.)
Obama Campaign Comes Apart
