Rushs first call of the day was from a seasoned-citizen named Bev. Bev took exception to Rush earlier in the week saying that had he given Saturdays CPAC speech, he would have taken it in a different direction. Rush defended his position, which by all accounts were respectful, but Bev would have none of it. She was reeling off a laundry list of Republican sins, and Rush responded by citing all of the instances of him opposing Republican measures, concessions, appointments, etc.
Meanwhile, Snerdley was on the other side of the glass taking similar calls from irate Beck supporters, to everyones frustration.
Finally, Rush threw his hands in the air, ended the call and went to break.
Later in the show, out of a nowhere, a loud buzzer went off and Rush stopped what he was saying to interject: The Republicans are no different than the Democrats... theyre worthless!. Then hed get back to his point.
A little later, in mid-monologue, the buzzer sounds again. Rush stops, shouts: Republicans suck!
And so on and so forth.
To be honest, Im still laughing myself silly. It was brilliant. And it was more of a response to the irate callers than it was an attack on Beck.
So, thats what I get for reading about what Rush said second-hand. I should know better. My apologies.
It was funny, and Rush made a great point.
Sorry for all the typos in #207. Listening to Rush and typing is almost as difficult as texting and driving. Next time I’ll hit pause.
DITTOS! :-)
