Senator McCain Poised to Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
August 24, 2009

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Try this, ladies and gentlemen.
State-controlled Associated Press:

"Senator John McCain says
that President Obama will have to drop proposals for a government-run health insurance option
if he hopes to reach congressional agreement on health care reform."
So far, so good.
I'm still reminded of last week.
I was laughing myself silly when news came out and how big news it was
that McCain was voting with Republicans. (laughing)
Our nominee, our presidential nominee, and there was a huge story, about it:
"Ah, he's voting with Republicans now!"
Of course, he was called a sellout by the left.
So, so far, so good.
"McCain says
Obama will have to drop proposals for government-run health insurance option
if he hopes to reach congressional agreement on reform.
McCain says
many Americans are losing confidence in Obama,
partly because of concerns about the so-called public option.

"So McCain proposed
that Obama meet with members of both parties in Congress
to find areas of agreement, abandon the public option,
and then make clear exactly what he wants in the legislation."
Just as things were going good.
Just as things are going good, what happens?
McCain rides in to, quote, unquote,
"save the day."
You know, I've got this deja vu Gang of 14 thing running through my head.
Well, what do we...? (interruption)
No, I'll tell you why I have concerns.
He's... (interruption)
Right, public option is no good, won't pass.
Leave it there, senator!
Leave it there!
Don't have a meeting with him to figure out what can pass.
Leave it there!
Don't let this guy do it!
You guys come up with your own decent reform plan when you've got power back.

Don't let this guy do it.
Don't...
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Here we are,
we we've got victory in our jaws. All we have to do is clamp down,
and here comes McCain with the jaw constrictors. (snorts)
(McCain impersonation) "That's right, Limbaugh.
That's right.
Bipartisanship. Bipartisanship.
I'm going to show we can do this if we work together!"
No! No!
You don't want to be part of this.
When the other guy is going to bomb out,
when the other guy is going to flame out,
when the other guy is gonna crash...
McCain, would you follow an enemy fighter pilot down and crash just because he was going to?
No!
You would stay up there and gloat,
especially if you shot him down.
If this guy is going to go down in flames, figuratively speaking,
watch from the cockpit.
Ah, jeez.

And Maxine Waters is all up in arms about the "Neanderthal" Democrats in the Senate.
This is Saturday in Los Angeles at Los Angeles southwest college.
She held a town hall meeting,
and a guy stood up and said,
"Is your line in the sand on the public option not being included in any bill saying,
'I vote "no"'
then?"

WATERS: Absolutely.
Let me tell you what.

AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)

WATERS: We're going to do everything that we can
to organize and put pressure on those sen-a-tors,
some of whom are Neanderthals.

AUDIENCE: (cheers and applause)

WATERS: We're going to say to the president,
"We want you to use every weapon in your basket!"


RUSH: She's rallying the base out there, calling conservatives names.
Well, she's calling Democrats names.
I mean she's talking Democrat Neanderthals, some of those Neanderthals in the Senate.
Don't get her going on the... (interruption)
Well, that would be an insult if she called me a Neanderthal.
Being called a Neanderthal by Maxine Waters is (snickering) I'd just laugh.
I'd say,
"What is that,
the kettle calling the pot black
or vice-versa?"
But regardless, when she really goes nuts
is when you get her talking about Blue Dog Democrats.

Thanks again, Rush.

Rush, and you too, Paul Shanklin, what we need

is a parody song built on Jimmy Castor Bunch - Troglodyte
With words that mock Maxine Waters calling Democrats National Socialists "Neanderthals."

[ABQHispConservative]

McCain really needs to go!! What a complete moron. I truly hope that only him and his poodle Grahmnesty are the only ones standing next to the rats. Let them be ostracized.

[rabscuttle385]

[La Lydia]

McCain: The Jaw Constrictor

[Frantzie]

Juan McCain is scum and a POS.

[Victoria Delsoul]

When the other guy is going to bomb out, when the other guy is going to flame out, when the other guy is gonna crash... McCain, would you follow an enemy fighter pilot down and crash just because he was going to?

No! You would stay up there and gloat, especially if you shot him down. If this guy is going to go down in flames, figuratively speaking, watch from the cockpit.

Amen! Worth repeating.

[Chong]

PLEASE GO, A, WAY!!!!!!!, McCain!!!

You’ve done ENOUGH TO this country!!!

[rockinqsranch]

“...Senator McCAIN Poised to SNATCH DEFEAT FROM the Jaws of VICTORY...”

So I said to my wife as I read the headline “So What’s new!?”, and went on down the page looking for news.

[rabscuttle385]

[dalebert]

he is so lame

[RobbyS]

What he does is always about him. He has to be seen as rushing to the rescue, of being a deal-maker even if it means helping the Democrats fare more than his own party.

[Lakeshark]

Okay......

That was funny.

[Yosemitest]

Of course Rush, and Paul,
this might be a better song to do the Maxine Waters parody song to,

The Bertha Butt Boogie - Part 1 lyrics
by The Jimmy Castor Bunch

The party was jumpin'
When Bertha got off o' her stump,
The whistles were blowin'
And everybody did the "Bump"
But all the time Bertha
Had been workin' on her goodie,
Now folks call it "The Bertha Butt Boogie"

When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
No question...

When Bertha got movin'
Her hips were hummin' in the wind,
The ground started shakin'
No grass grew where she'd been!
The music was poppin',
The crowd had formed a ring,
Her sisters yelled, "Boogie, Bertha, do your thing!"

Uh, for your information,
Bertha had three sisters,
Betty Butt, Bella Butt and Bathsheba Butt

When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
I said no question!

Hey, Leroy, get away from that woman!
The boy'll never learn!
Uh-oh, here comes the Troglodyte!
Troglodyte: "Come here, sock it to me!"

Bertha stood back and yelled,
"Betty, Bella, Bathsheba!"
And the Butt Sisters backed her up
When she yelled, "I need ya!"
The Troglodyte, Leroy, Luther
And the Butt Sisters all knew
That "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
Was now the thing to do

When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
No question...
Bertha: "I'll sock it ya, daddy!"
Troglodyte: "Me like, me like! Come here, woman, woman!"
Leroy: "Yo' mama, I'm calling you, man!"
Troglodyte: "Yeah - the Boogie!"

[April Lexington]

I have decided that John McCain has become senile. As my mother used to warn me... don't pick on the handicapped. So... I'm going to leave him alone. Everyone now knows John McCain has lost it. He needs to retire and start working on the old shuffleboard game...<p?

By the way, John... can I get a refund on the campaign contributions?

[Yosemitest]

Don't ask ...DEMAND a refund!!!

[Osage Orange]

HA!!!

[GeronL]

I bet he is favored to win re-election too. Come on AZ

[Yosemitest]

And to anyone who liked the song videos,

To the right is a link to the Jimmy Castor Bunch and their history.

[Slump Tester]

I voted for him hoping he'd win and promptly croak, leaving us with Sarah, and I got flamed for saying it.

Well everyone - I TOLD YOU HE WAS AN ASS!

[Yosemitest]

So you think it would be any different, if appeaser McCain had won?

I .... don't .... think so!!!!!
