END PARODY TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Bill Clinton counseling Al Franken on how to deal with this controversy that has erupted over Franken and Leeann Tweeden on a jet. You know, theres some things happening here, folks. I predicted any number of ways this was gonna go, and I could see where the Democrats would have to throw him overboard by today. And I also thought they would do what they could to save him. I thought it could go either way. I did not definitively decide on which way they were gonna go, and I left open the possibility that they would find a way of excusing Franken, find a way of at least getting him different treatment than they are handing out to Roy Moore, and in some cases they are doing that.
There have been media people claiming, Franken was really not groping! Come on! Everybody can see. That was a setup photo. That was a fake grope. Thats MSNBC. MSNBC has parsed the grope.
Also over at MSNBC they have actually resorted to impugning the character of Leeann Tweeden. There are whispers, if you know where to go and you know where to watch, you know where to look and what to read, there are people who are saying, Well, you know what? Shes posed nude. Shes been to the Playboy mansion. This womans not this virtuoso out there. Shes got a sordid past. You cant blame Franken.
Thats actually been on the air at MSNBC. She went to the Playboy mansion, shes posed nude, shes a model, you know, she purposely tries to titillate guys this way. You cant blame Franken, you cant blame Franken, what do you think hes supposed to do, theyre alone over on there in the USO tour? This is a defense that Im hearing, and wait for it Hey, he was a comedian then, not a senator. Really? What difference does that make? What possible difference does it make that he was a comedian and not a senator?
So was Louis C.K. So were half these other clowns in Hollywood that have been caught up in this. What the hell difference does that make he was a comedian then and not a senator? I havent heard anybody say that Roy Moore was a local assistant district attorney then. The only thing Ive heard somebody say is that Roy Moore was a Democrat then. And that was me. And the Drive-By Media had a conniption fit over it.
I later learned that there were some stuffed shirts in conservative media that had a big problem with that. Snerdley brought it to my attention. I was stunned. Some holier-than-thou conservative people thought that I was trying to mount a defense of Roy Moore by pointing out that he was a Democrat when it happened. Yeah, they were saying sexual abuse, this kind of thing is not partisan. Give me a break!
All of this is partisan. Every bit of this is. Its partisan in terms of Democrat-Republican. Its partisan in terms of insider-outsider. Its partisan in terms of establishment ruling class and plebes. What the hell, this isnt partisan? Every bit of this, its all partisan. Everything has become partisan because everythings become politicized.
Now, we can sit here and try to remain above the fray and say that we dont have any of the criticism that were mounting at anybody because of their politics. What a crock. All I did was point out that Roy Moore was a Democrat when all this happened, just a factoid. Never once did I mount a defense of the guy. I dont know what happened down there, and nobody else does, either. No way Im jumping into the fray one way or the other.
But I pointed out something that was factually true. He was a Democrat back then. Oh, something else thats factually true. Nobody cared what he was doing back then. Nobody cared what he was doing a month ago. Nobody cared two months ago what he was doing back then, when he was a Democrat. Nobody cared what Franken was doing all of these years ago as he was deeply immersed in his seeming perversions.
Now everybody cares about everything. Exactly what I meant in my studious, well-intentioned and well-laid-out monologue in the previous hour. Well, what the hell difference does it make that Franken was a comedian then and not a senator? Theres photographic evidence with Franken. Well, but that was staged. You know, that wasnt a real grope. I mean, if you look at it carefully. Oh, really? Youve been studying that carefully, have you? Well, yeah, you have to. You have to look at that carefully. You can see that theres no real contact. Really? You can notice that? Its obvious, people have told me.
Franken photographic evidence clearly shows what it is: a 55-year-old married man, father of two, dreaming of, fantasizing about, pretending to, or actually fondling a sleeping woman. Do not care how you slice it. In fact, let me find the sound bite. Grab audio sound bite number three. Here it is right here in case you doubt me.
Late yesterday afternoon, CNNs Newsroom, Brooke Baldwin was speaking with the chief political analyst, Gloria Borger, about Leeann Tweedens allegations of sexual assault against Al Franken. And Brooke Baldwin said, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer from the left and right both saying there needs to be an ethics investigation. I realize that this was years and years ago, this story, and he was a private citizen at the time. But can Franken survive this, Gloria?
BORGER: It remains to be seen. I mean, we should say that Leeann did not call for him to step down or say that she thought he ought to step down and
RUSH: What difference does that make?
BORGER: We have to look at the context in which all of this is occurring, which is Moore, Judge Moore. And that has been, you know, brewing and percolating, whatever you want to say, for days and days and days. He was not a member of Congress at the time this occurred. He was just a comedian.
RUSH: Are you kidding? See, Im not making this stuff. So here we have, Well, we need to put it in context and Leeann Theyre on a first-name basis now. The Drive-Bys are saying, Leeann, she doesnt think that he should leave his job. Okay. And he was just a comedian, just a private citizen. What difference does that make? Really? You notice how hypocritical these people are?
Roy Moore I guess wasnt a private citizen, elected official, way back then, hes a Democrat, but Franken is just a comedian. Gloria, are you aware that he wrote special scripts for Saturday Night Live fantasizing about giving Lesley Stahl a bunch of pills, that she would be knocked occupant and then Franken would cavort her into certain positions and rape her? Gloria, are you aware of this? He was just a comedian? And Leeann doesnt think anything should happen to him. But this Roy Moore guy, I mean, were looking at first class reprobate status here.
How many of you thought honestly I know I cant hear you how many of you honestly thought that the Democrats would make fools of themselves trying to save Al Franken? Snerdley is raising his hand. I did too. I knew this could go either way. Because the common sense question, what are they gonna do. Theyve gotta preserve the attack on Moore because that sets up the attack on Trump. And if they try to defend Franken, they are hurting what they really want, which is to get rid of Trump because of all this. But yet there they go.
You know what Im finding out, folks? This will shock you. That there literally are some people in the media and the Democrat Party who think Franken could be the Democrat presidential nominee in 2020 before this happened. That hes some kind of intellectual leading light of progressivism. Man, are these people distorted. And, of course, Trump tweeted, calling him Al Frankenstein and wondered where his hands were in the pictures that we havent seen. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6? You know, folks, Im gonna have to get into this a little later because I have to take a break and do want to get to phones.
But the Democrats had better think again if they believe that even if theyre able to take Roy Moore out, if they think that sets them up to take Trump out on this same stuff, they are in for a rude awakening. All they need to do is take a look at the fact that Trump not only survived, he triumphed after the NBC Access Hollywood video.
But yet they think theyve got 13 or 15 women that they can drag forward claiming that Trump did this or that to em. They havent figured out Trump has already had this treatment, and hes already been through it and triumphed over it. But they think they can get Moore, and if they get Moore, that opens up getting Trump. They have another thing coming if thats what they think theyre gonna be able to pull off here.
He is a pretend comedian that is obnoxious but not funny.
Moores opponent
Leeann has done benefit work for veterans for many years. Whether she has posed nude or not she seems genuinely a nice person and doesn’t deserve to be raked over the coals by the Rat b@st@rd sex perv justifiers. Anyone Republican would be under criminal investigation right now if he’d treated Leeann like this. Franken is a classic POS as are all his defenders
It dawned on me hours later when I saw his name mentioned somewhere on line.
