From the Summary for Tuesday, September 22, 1992:

Phone   Paul from Ridgefield, CT

Rush originally thinks that this caller is Bob from Lehigh, PA
who was going to criticize him for never taking any opposing
views. Bob, however, has hung up and Paul was able to call in on
the same line. With time dwindling rapidly, Rush gives Paul his
big showbiz break.

Paul is concerned that Buchanan's speech at the convention has
driven women away from Bush. Rush tells him that he shouldn't
believe this because the GOP gender gap has been around for
years, and has been based on the pro-choice issue. Thus, Rush is
willing to wait and see just how many women are going to vote for
Clinton.

Paul also gives Rush some good news - if each of Rush's 13
million listeners takes a friend to the polls and they both vote
for Bush, then Bush will win. Bush won the 1988 election with 25
million votes, so this means that "Rush could make it happen."
Rush is astounded that Paul would suggest such a thing since his
show would never tell people how to vote since he is totally
objective and unbiased in all things.                ^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Paul lets that comment slide, and he adds that he doesn't see why
Republicans are so concerned by being pro-choice. This doesn't
make any sense to him. Rush calls that a good question and
promises to discuss it on another show.

Is that forgetfulness?

I do plan to read his book, as soon as I find a copy to borrow. 
I will not buy the book, it would only encourage him.  :-)
