September 4, 1992

NEWS

In Charles Oliver's Brickbats column in the October, 1992 issue
of Reason magazine, the following stories are reported:

o       Merritt Clifton, former editor of the animal-rights
magazine The Animal's Agenda, has begun a crusade for cat
control. Clifton wants to make it a crime for cat owners to let
their pets go outside because "cats have a nasty tendency to kill
birds, rabbits, frogs, and other cute creatures." Merritt
complains that "a housecat hunts for fun. It gets all its
calories indoors, and then it goes out to devastate whatever
there is to devastate."

o       Richard Roberts of the Christian Industrial League in
Chicago was interviewed on the local public radio station, WBEZ,
about his group's plan to throw a barbecue for the homeless.
However, Roberts' comment that the picnic would include the
launching of red, white, and blue balloons produced a flood of
phone calls from callers who were worried that birds would eat
the balloons and choke to death.

Roberts was discouraged that not one of these callers, who were
so worried about birds, volunteered to help him with the barbecue
for the homeless. He also asked "Where were these `concerned'
people last winter when we ran out of food at the shelters and
were in desperate need for help?" Oliver bets that "they were
probably trying to teach their cats not to kill birds."

o       Jack Russ, who resigned as the House Sergeant at Arms in
March after the House Bank scandal angered millions of voters, is
still on the public payroll. Rep. Mervyn Dymally (D-CA) has hired
Russ as a "part-time consultant" so that Russ can remain in
government service long enough to collect his 25-year pension.

MORNING UPDATE

Rush wants to talk some more about Bill Clinton, in the hope that
he can help heal the split that is occurring between him and the
black community. Charles Rangle told blacks not to vote since
Bill Clinton doesn't care about blacks and isn't doing anything
for them. David Dinkins has decided to play peacemaker between
these two men, and Rush wants to be a peacemaker, too.

Rush thinks Clinton is engaging in politics of hate by ignoring
the black vote, and is in fact running from the black vote. Where
else will blacks turn if Clinton doesn't do what they want?
Clinton should do whatever the black leaders - Charles Rangle,
Spike Lee, Louis Farrakhan, and Jesse Jackson - want him to do.
To do any less will be proof of Clinton's racism.

FIRST HOUR

Items

o       Rush's show on Monday, Labor Day, will be a Best of Rush
show, which will allow him to take his first Monday off in some
time.  The show will concentrate on his analysis of the
Democratic convention.

o       Rush did a series of television interviews yesterday at a
studio which was next to the MTV studios. About 27 of his TV
affiliates interviewed him for five minutes via satellite, and
all were nice except for one feminazi who thought that Rush and
Roger Ailes were doing a TV show so as to pump up Bush for the
election.

Rush told her that, in fact, he and Ailes were "disturbed" by the
President and were doing the TV show because President Bush was
not listening to them. The feminazi actually believed this until
Rush pointed out to her that he doesn't care about what Ailes
says to Bush or what Bush says to Ailes.

o       Rush had a rehearsal for his TV show Wednesday, and after
the rehearsal he and Roger Ailes had dinner with John O'Sullivan
of the National Review. The trio went to Patsy's and were
surprised to run into Tony Lo Bianco with his mother. Rush
obligingly met Lo Bianco's mom, who thanked him for giving her
son self-esteem and a reason to live.

Shortly thereafter, though, Lo Bianco started working the room,
greeting everybody at each table, almost as if he were the owner
of the restaurant. Ailes was impressed by how happy Lo Bianco
appeared to be that evening. The next day Lo Bianco started
crowing about how he met the parents of rock singer Bon Jovi.

Rush therefore suggests that EIB could produce a new sitcom,
"LoBo," which would be about a lowly engineer who becomes world-
famous, while his highly successful radio talk show boss is
barely noticed. Lo Bianco then gives Rush the latest photo for
his Wall of Fame - Lo Bianco standing next to Casey Kasem. Rush
can't believe Lo Bianco is going to place this photo up on the
wall next to his picture of Vice President Quayle.

Update Slick Willie (Johnny Preston, "Charming Billy")

Rush again points out that he is not "Clinton-bashing" on his
show, but only telling the truth about Clinton. The latest story
about him is that five years after an internal investigation
found that Arkansas prisons were racist in how they distributed
job assignments, more than two dozen black inmates still shine
shoes and work as domestics in the homes of prison officials.

State prison officials defend the way they assign prisoners to
these unpaid jobs, even though black prisoners are 10 times more
likely to work as domestics than are white inmates. Rush suggests
that the fact Bill Clinton is allowing blacks to be used as
unpaid domestics for officials is yet another reason why Clinton
had better start listening to black leaders and doing what they
want.

Rush has to laugh, though, at the spectacle of Clinton, who is
supposedly one of the most compassionate and sincere men of
equality in the US, and yet he is allowing blacks to work as
shoe-shine boys in his prisons.

Items

o       The US unemployment rate dipped slightly to 7.6% in
August, thanks to the government's special jobs program for
teenagers.  Rush says that this is obviously the answer - if the
government can create jobs for the summer, then it should create
jobs forever and ever.

The current rate is down from 7.8% in June and 7.7% in July.
However, analysts warned that the rate could shoot back up after
the summer jobs program is ended. Labor Department officials
estimate that 100,000 young people found work thanks to
government action last month.

o       Mario Cuomo is touring Israel this week, and he said that
finding work for people in the private sector was the country's
biggest problem. Cuomo has met with Israeli leaders in an effort
to increase economic cooperation between Israel and New York
state.

Rush points out that New York state's annual budget is $54
million, while the nation of Israel, which has to defend itself
from enemies on all sides, has a budget of only $40 billion.
Israel has never defaulted on a loan, and accepts any and all
Jewish immigrants, and yet their budget is $14 billion less than
the state of New York, which is not threatened by anyone (except
perhaps fiscal reformers in Washington).

*BREAK*

Items

o       Rush has Hillary Clinton news, and he recalls how the
American Spectator was criticized for daring to print what
Hillary herself once wrote. People said that Hillary was a
candidate's wife and should not be attacked by Bill's evil
political foes. Of course, to propagate the illusion that Hillary
was just a candidate's wife, the Clinton campaign shut her up and
had her just nodding and smiling as she stood next to her
husband.

However, when Rush and many others started talking about how
Hillary had been silenced, the Clinton campaign let loose
Hillary's leash and let her make a few speeches. Then when people
started commenting about what Hillary said during her speeches,
the liberals started crying again about how evil, low, and unfair
it was to attack Hillary. The liberals conveniently ignore that
Hillary and Bill have themselves said that a Clinton presidency
would be an "unprecedented partnership" in which Hillary would
have a strong role.

All this has shown that although there is some equality in
politics, you still "can't be mean to the girl." When Pat
Buchanan mentioned what Hillary herself had written, he was
attacked for his fabrications and for taking Hillary's comments
out of context.

However, Hillary Clinton yesterday told the Baltimore Sun that
she wants to influence policy if she becomes First Lady. Rush
rattles the paper to prove his point, and he comments that the
Clinton campaign is one of the most defensive campaigns he has
ever seen. Hillary, though, said that she would take a "more
comprehensive approach to the role of First Lady than Barbara
Bush has." Hillary would not just speak out on the "problems
facing children and families," but "take action to solve these
problems as First Lady."

"There's no point in being in public service," said Hillary,
"unless you can help people." Rush says that this attitude
bothers him as well - liberals love to say that they want to
"make a difference," but a lot of people have made a difference
in history - Hitler, Pontious Pilate, and the Ayatollah Khomeni
just to name a few. Wanting to "make a difference" is not enough
to justify one's actions.

Hillary, though, has now admitted that she will have a major
influence on her husband's administration. Thus, Rush feels it is
certainly fair to examine Hillary's agenda and proposed policies.

o       The EIB Memory Division has remembered more stuff -
President Bush is 50% more popular right now than JFK was in
1963. JFK had a 25% approval rating right before he went to
Dallas, and the whole reason he went to Dallas was to rescue
himself from what many had thought was certain defeat in 1964.

Yet today Democrats claims everyone loved JFK back in 1963. Thus,
if everyone loved JFK in 1963, but his rating in the polls was
25%, then Bush's 38% rating means that everybody, plus 50%, loves
Bush. Rush is glad to hear this because it means Bush has nothing
to worry about in November.

*BREAK*

Environmental groups are supporting the Gore/Clinton ticket
because although Clinton has a spotty environmental record, his
choice of Gore as VP redeems him. Greenpeace is only one of the
many groups that have voiced support for the Democratic ticket,
and the support of these liberal groups should put the lie to the
Democrats' claim that they are now moderates.

If you want to know the truth about the Democrats and about
Gore/Clinton, look at who supports them. If Greenpeace and the
other environmental socialists support Clinton, then this means
he will owe them after the election. Gore's environmentalism is
pop psychology and pseudo-science at best, and if these
environmental groups support him, then the validity of their own
agendas should be called into doubt as well.

Gore has stated that ozone holes and global warming are facts,
yet there is no scientific consensus about this at all. Gore even
claims the automobile is the biggest danger than man faces today.
Yet, about 82% of scientists who are polled either say that
global warming isn't happening, or that much more study is needed
before anything can be said on the matter.

Two things can be learned from this - the environmental wackos
and socialists are extremists who are bent on ending the American
way of life, and on stopping capitalistic industrialization. Gore
claims that a "green" America would create all sorts of new jobs,
but he can't provide any specifics at all on his claim. Even so,
the environmentalists are supporting Gore whole-heartedly.

The second thing to be learned is that the Gore/Clinton ticket is
not a moderate and centrist ticket. This can be seen in how the
liberal groups that are supporting Gore and Clinton fully expect
their liberal agenda to be implemented should Clinton become
President.

Phone Ann from Little Rock, AK

Ann and her family thank Rush for performing a "marvelous service
for our nation," and her 17-year old son sends "googles of
dittos." Ann is a native-born Arkansas resident, and she is
bothered at how Clinton has stacked all of the appointments to
the state's boards and commissions. She is also bothered how many
young adults believe that the personal character of a candidate
doesn't matter as to their ability to perform the functions of
the office of President.

Rush comments that a woman he knows was telling him that it
didn't matter if Clinton was a draft-dodger because she thinks
that it took more courage to dodge the draft back in the 60s than
it did to go fight in Vietnam. Rush also remembers how the media
was claiming that the character of candidates didn't matter
during the primaries.

Yet, this isn't true - character is the centerpiece of family
values, and he points out that more gang-related deaths are
happening in Los Angeles now than during the riots. It is the
lack of values that allow teenagers to kill one another.

Thus, the values and character of a President does matter, so
much so that the founding fathers of this nation considered it to
be the foremost qualification for the job of President - the
Federalist Papers make this point clearly.

*BREAK*

SECOND HOUR

Item

o       Rush is pumped by the start of NFL games this weekend,
and he is looking forward to the start of the fall. His favorite
type of day is a rainy day, about 42 degrees, with a forecast of
falling temperatures and snow. He can then run home and sit by a
roaring fireplace, listening to one of his favorite songs -
"Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire."

Rush refers back to Ann's call and how she was worried about how
so many young people think character is irrelevant when choosing
a leader. Character, though, is the most important aspect of any
leader, yet there are those who think that the most courageous
people during the 60s were draft dodgers like Clinton.

Rush would ask people like these what would happen if in 1994
Clinton decides that the US should go to war to fight for a vital
US interest. What would happen if America's military decided not
to go to war because they didn't agree with the policy? How could
President Clinton ask those men and women to do something he
himself was unwilling to do?

The last word on Clinton's draft dodging has yet to be said,
though - a former college roommate of Clinton's has claimed that
Clinton is lying about how he eluded military service. On May 7,
1969 Clinton wrote a letter to a college professor in which he
admits that he had just received his draft notice.

In all of the previous discussion of this issue, Clinton has
claimed that he was never drafted, but promised to enroll in ROTC
if he got a deferment. Of course, Clinton never did follow
through on his promise, but now it appears that Clinton actually
did receive a draft notice.

Clinton's former roommate said he knew all along that Clinton was
"scheming" to get out of military service, and thus it's
ludicrous for Clinton to claim that he knew nothing about his
uncle's efforts to get him a deferment. The roommate has sent an
open letter to Clinton and others detailing his statements and
beliefs.

Of course, there are some questions to be asked about the former
roommate's motivations in writing this letter. The roommate,
though, allegedly answers some of these questions by stating that
he is upset about how Clinton has betrayed the trust of his
friends and supporters, and in how he has ignored "binding legal
commitments" in the past.

"This is not about mere draft dodging," writes the roommate. "It
is about trust and betrayal of trust. It is about deceit and
manipulation and exploitation of people for your personal
benefit. It is about binding legal commitments, and your cavalier
disregard and breach of them. It is about duty and honor and
pride and commitment and integrity, or more precisely the absence
of such. It is about how you 23 years ago and still today
practice deceit with such casual abandon. Stated simply it is
whether we can trust the real Bill Clinton, not with the
Republican code-words of family values, or even traditional or
American values - it's much larger than this. We're talking about
universal values of truth and integrity, of duty and honor, of
courage and sacrifice embraced by all great religions of the
world and by all civilizations in recorded history."

Rush is still amazed that anyone could claim that "character is
irrelevant to leadership." The absence of character and values
can be seen in how Los Angeles is experiencing more deaths than
ever, with 263 deaths in August and 254 in July. The average
homicide rate for 1992 is 219, the highest in over 12 years. The
country coroner blames 100 degree temperatures and high
unemployment for this death rate, as well as black and hispanic
gang activity.

Rush can't believe anyone would blame the weather or high
unemployment for murder. A gang homicide research associate at
USC doesn't know any reason for the murders, but theorizes that
an increase in domestic homicides and in robbery deaths might be
the reasons. One area resident calls his neighborhood a war-zone
in which it is hard to hear the sounds of police helicopters
because gunshots on the ground drown them out.

Rush says that a decline in values produces an overall lack of
respect for life; when people no longer respect life, it
shouldn't be surprising that people are more willing to kill each
other. If unemployment was the real cause, then why weren't there
more murders 10 years ago when the unemployment rate was much
higher?

Is the term family values really a code word, or could it
possibly refer to an important part of civilization? Is character
really irrelevant for America's leaders? Were 1969 draft dodgers
really more courageous than those who served in the military?

*BREAK*

Phone Robert from New Orleans, LA

Robert is a 25-year old student, and one of his sociology
teachers is very liberal, although open-minded. During class,
Robert voiced his opinion that socialized medicine was a bad
idea, and he was assaulted on all sides by his liberal
colleagues. Thus, Robert hopes Rush can give him some ammunition
to defend his opposition to socialized medicine.

Rush says that Robert has to first make the other students state
that health care is a "right." Robert says that his colleagues
claim that it's "unfair" that only the wealthy can afford health
care. Rush says that the US has the best health care in the
world, and 85% of Americans are covered by health insurance; thus
health care in America is not a crisis.

Then Robert should ask his colleagues if they consider health
care to be a right, then why shouldn't food be a right? Food is
more important than medicine, so why shouldn't the government
have socialized food programs for everyone?

Next, ask if anyone is making car payments of $200 to $300 a
month, or is planning on buying a car once they're out of
college. If so, then ask them why they can't spend that money on
health insurance. If they claim that a car is a necessity for
them, then ask why shouldn't the government provide this
"necessity" if it is so important. After all, in order to get a
real job, one needs a car. Don't people also need a car so that
they can buy food at a grocery store?

In short, ask people if they think survival is a right, and if so
then why shouldn't the government provide all the necessities of
life? However, if Robert is really daring, then he should ask if
survival is a right, then who is guaranteeing the right to
survival of the fetus.

Rush says that it's a tough sell to make people believe that
health care is not a right, since Americans are not willing to
let people die because they can't afford medicine. The question
is how best to solve the problem of health care, but the answer
is not to get the government involved. The only real answer is to
get market forces involved in the health industry so that
everyone can afford health care. Above all, though, if this is
going to work the government has to get out of the health care
business.

*BREAK*

Phone Barbara from Manhattan, NY

Barbara says that the Cato Institute issued an analysis of the
fiscal policies of the nation's governors, and they gave Clinton
a grade of "D" - a score of 49 out of 100, which was seventh from
the bottom. From 1983 to 1990, Clinton was judged a tax-increaser
who moved Arkansas away from its traditional policies of low
taxes and low spending. Clinton increased the sales, gas, and
corporate income taxes.

Also, while governor, the real government spending for a family
of four went up by $1500 which exceeded growth in real income. A
lot of this increased spending went to higher salaries for
government workers. Clinton also has a Democratic state
legislature, which only portends the nightmare that will happen
if Clinton gets elected with a Democratic Congress.

Rush doesn't know about this last part since he doesn't see a
real partnership between a liberal Congress and Clinton; however,
this is still a valid fear worth having, although Clinton's
Presidency may be more like Carter's.

Rush points out that the New York Times is criticizing the Bush
campaign's claim that Clinton approved "128 tax increases."
What's more important, though, is Clinton's economic plan which
would raise taxes by $150 billion; this amount is two-thirds of
the 1990 business profits. The Washington Post isn't worried
about this since they even praised Clinton for raising taxes in
Arkansas, and in fact said that Clinton didn't raise them enough.

The New York Times editorial said Bush's 128 tax increase figure
was "worse than a lie," and that Bush should instead concentrate
on the supposed increase in America's poor. The NY Times calls
the Census Bureau's poverty figures "newer, truer figures" yet
Rush again points out that the Bureau's figures are false as
well.

The Census Bureau says that a family of four is poor if it has a
cash income slightly less than $14,000; however, it doesn't count
these people's assets, nor does it count non-cash income such as
welfare and other government entitlements.

According to the Census Bureau's own statistics, 40% of America's
poor own their own homes, the median value of which was $43,562
in 1989. This is 58% of the median value of all homes owned by
all Americans in 1989. Nearly 750,000 poor people own homes worth
more than $100,000 while 75,000 own homes worth more than
$300,000. 62% of poor households own a car, and 14% own two or
more cars. Nearly 50% of poor households have air conditioning
and 33% own microwave ovens.

Granted, most of these people do not have a rosy life, but the
Bureau's poverty statistics don't tell the whole story. The
United States of America has elevated the definition of poverty,
as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Compared to the
rest of the world, is somebody really poor if they own two cars
or a $100,000 home?

Things are certainly not as good as they could be for most of
these people, but this should show that America has elevated the
standard of living for all of its people across the board. Also,
America's poor don't stay poor - there is more economic mobility
in America than anywhere else. People get rich and people get
poor; prosperous people can suffer economic setbacks and poor
people can get rich.

The most important thing to learn is that there is an underclass
in America that remains in perpetual poverty - minorities such as
blacks and hispanics. If these people continue to listen to their
self-appointed "leaders," they will have no hope for a better
life.

Yet, more of America's blacks are in the middle class than are in
poverty, and blacks in Queens earn as much as whites. The black
leaders and liberal media do not highlight these statistics, but
instead try to portray America as a land of lost and failing
opportunities.

Liberals claim that these problems of poverty can be solved only
with more and bigger government. This is exactly wrong, and this
is what the Presidential race is all about - where should life's
benefits come from, a socialist government or a capitalist
private sector?

*BREAK*

Rush gives his first environmental wacko football pick. He
explains that he loves football, but many listeners are not
interested in sports. Thus, Rush combines his favorite sport with
politically correct environmentalism so that he can pick the
weekend's football winners.

For example, the New York Jets are playing the Atlanta Falcons in
their new Atlanta Dome. The falcons are a beautiful example of
freedom that soars above man's evil; they epitomize nature - even
though they swoop down on defenseless mice and swallow them
alive, this is still nature and is beautiful. The falcon even
shows its compassion towards man by allowing him to domestic it
for hunting and sport.

Arrayed against this magnificent bird of nature are the Jets, a
man-made invention that pollutes the environment by burning
precious fossil fuels. "An old ally of the falcon, the dinosaur,
had to die so that the jet could fly," Rush states. Jets also
carry human beings from one point to another, allowing capitalist
commerce to occur, which only pollutes the planet even more. Jets
also despoil the environment by crashing, not to mention that
jets suck birds such as seagulls into their turbines, chopping
them up into nothing.

Thus, take the Falcons minus 3 points over the Jets.

*BREAK*

The Houston Oilers are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers, and this
environmental wacko pick is a difficult one. The Oilers plunder
the planet by stealing fossil fuels, while the Steelers engage in
mining and build buildings. However, the Oilers are the least
onerous and so Rush suggests giving them the 11 points.

o       Rush wonders what is going through the heads of Time
Warner - first they think it's okay to kill cops, and now their
DC Comics subsidiary is going to kill off Superman <<yeah, right
- nobody dies for real in comics anymore>>.

o       The Japanese Ground Defense Forces is considering
distributing condoms to its troops who will part of the UN
peace-keeping forces in Cambodia. The JGDF says that it is
worried that its troops may get AIDS from Cambodian prostitutes.
Critics of the plan, though, say that using taxpayer money to buy
condoms for the troops will be tantamount to openly approving the
troops' having sex with the prostitutes. Rush says that this is
exactly right - giving out condoms only sanctions the activity.

This subject is even more touchy to the Japanese because of the
recent reports that the Japanese forced Korean women into slavery
as prostitutes during WWII.

o       The 38-year old drummer of Toto was allegedly killed by
pesticide poisoning while spraying pesticide in his garden on
August 5th, according to preliminary reports by the man's
manager. Supposedly, the drummer had an allergic reaction to the
pesticide.

However, an autopsy by the LA County Coroner showed that the
death was the result of hardening of the arteries due to cocaine
use. Tests showed no presence of the pesticide in his blood, but
the coroner did find traces of cocaine.

o       A Long Island woman is offering money to save Florida
horses who were hurt and left homeless by Hurricane Andrew. The
woman says that 500 horses have been killed as an alternative to
starvation and sickness. Rush wonders why Bush is not doing
anything about the poor horses; Bush didn't say one thing in his
speech last week about horses. Rush says that he is finding it
more and more difficult to say "I'm an American."

o       The Citadel military academy will be changing its policy
against allowing women students. Because of a lawsuit filed by
three women veterans, the school will allow women veterans to
take daytime classes.

o       Shell Oil plans to spend $10 million to rebuild its gas
stations that were damaged during the LA riots. Shell will also
contribute to local job training programs as well as build a new
superstation in the South Central LA area.

Rush is not impressed - Shell is undoubtedly doing this only for
profit, and obviously doesn't care at all about the people. If
Shell really cared, they would build their stations and then give
them to the gangs. That is the only compassionate thing that
should be done.

Update Tomahawk Chop (Tomahawk Chop Chant)

This is actually a combined environmental wacko football pick and
Tomahawk Chop update. The Kansas City Chiefs are axing the
Tomahawk Chop - the chop will not be encouraged by the Chiefs'
cheerleaders, band, or official scoreboard. Native Americans
protested several times last year against the use of the Chop,
which gained national attention after Jane Fonda was filmed doing
the Chop during an Atlanta Braves baseball game.

However, the Chiefs will not discourage fans from doing the chop,
but the official organization will not promote the activity. Rush
is glad that freedom of speech will still reign at Arrowhead
Stadium.

Moving onto his environmental wacko pick, the Chiefs will be
playing the Chargers at San Diego this weekend. The Chargers are
a home-team underdog because their star quarterback is out with
injuries. The Chargers, though, are not horses like a lot of
people think, but rather electricity which has been harnessed by
man. In fact, it was a dead white male, Ben Franklin, who
discovered electricity.

The Chiefs, in contrast, are this country's Native Americans who
would have created a land of peace and contentment had not evil
white men come to North America. Thus, the Chiefs will "put the
lights out" on the Chargers.

Phone Betty from Pascagoula, MS

Betty is upset about Rush's comments on rape and perfume
yesterday. She loves Rush, but thinks he was too cavalier with
rape, and made fun of those who had allergies. She says Rush made
it sound like no woman ever really has gotten raped.

Rush explains that rape is a terrible thing that must be punished
severely. This is why he is against the classifications of rape
that are being made by modern feminism - whether it's date rape,
acquaintance rape, or whatever, rape is evil and must be punished
as strongly as possible.

However, when Anita Hill came forward with her charges of sexual
harassment, neither she nor her witnesses had any evidence. This
didn't matter to the militant feminists, though, who claimed that
the only thing that was important was the "severity of the
charges," and not the nature of the evidence.

Rush is glad that his comments have infuriated Betty because what
he was trying to do was show the logic that's been put forth by
feminists - that women never lie about things like rape or sexual
harassment. However, it is the evidence that matters in any sort
of crime, and false allegations of rape only trivialize the crime
when it really does occur.

Rush holds Betty over the break so that they can talk about
perfume.

*BREAK*

Rush just received a call from his editor at Simon and Schuster -
his book is hitting the book stores in New York City. Rush is
surprised because the book wasn't scheduled to hit the stores
until September 10th, and he praises the union drivers who
actually got the book to the stores early. According to his
editor, the book is also in other areas, and will definitely be
nationwide by the 10th.

Phone Betty from Pascagoula, MS (continued)

Betty says that Rush has sufficiently explained his comments on
rape and that she understands the point he was trying to make.
Rush comments that one of his techniques is to take the arguments
that the left use and apply them to real-life situations. Betty
should have been offended by his use of the liberal logic, and
Rush is glad; he wonders, though, why more people aren't offended
by what liberalism says.

Betty moves onto her topic of perfumes. Estee Lauder perfume, for
example, gives her a massive headache, and many people do have
allergic reactions to certain perfumes and scents. Rush states he
has no quarrel with people who have medical problems with
perfumes.

However, what Rush was trying to do yesterday was point out how
some feminist groups think that anything that women do to make
themselves appear feminine is an example of male-domination. This
is the type of minutiae that feminists get involved in, and in
Rush's opinion most of the feminist agenda is devoted to such
frivolity. Betty comments that she was a charter subscriber to
Ms. Magazine, but cancelled it because its brand of feminism was
too extreme for her.

Betty also wonders if people who support socialized medicine ever
think about how much it costs. She was surprised to learn from a
Canadian foreign exchange student that their sales tax is about
21%, which shows that people pay for such things one way or
another. Rush agrees totally.

Finally, Betty hopes that Rush's environmental wacko picks will
select the Saints over the Eagles, since the Saints fly much
higher than any mere birds. Rush has his doubts about that
because the Eagles are at home with a great quarterback. Betty,
though, thinks that the Saints must win because they epitomize
family values.

Rush, however, says that the Saints are a relic of the Catholic
Church, which is the ultimate evil in society today since they
oppose the teaching of anal sex or the distribution of condoms.
The politically correct method demands that the Eagles win the
football game since any animals are far superior to any humans.
Thus, the animals always win. Rush points out that his
environmental wacko system was right about 60% last year.

Betty also saw part of Larry King's interview of Marilyn Quayle
last night, and she was amazed that King was as nice as he was to
her. Betty thanks Rush for his show, saying "a day without Rush
Limbaugh is a day without food." Rush thanks her for that, but
the politically correct saying would be "a day without Rush
Limbaugh is a day without health care."

Rush hopes that the new Catholic listeners in his audience
understand that what he was doing in his previous football pick
was only showing how absurd the left is with some of its
statements about the Church. Rush and Kit Carson both salute the
Catholic Church, especially their achievements in education and
their common sense support for the fetus' right to life.

Rush is amazed, though, at how people don't get offended at what
the left says until he repeats it. This is why he loves using the
left's own words against them, so as to illustrate just how
vacant and meaningless those words really are.

Phone Diane from Peoria, IL

Diane says that Rush Limbaugh "plays well in Peoria." Last
weekend she attended a free enterprise celebration in Charlotte,
NC; over 25,000 entrepreneurs gathered to talk about free
enterprise in the free world. Norman Schwarzkopf was a main
speaker, and one of his topics was leadership and how America
thinks it's more important for its leaders to be competent than
for them to have a proper character.

Schwarzkopf said that this is a backwards approach and that
Americans must look at their leaders' characters first. If a
leader has a good character, he will do the right thing, and if
necessary will become competent on the job. Rush says that
leadership by its definition means having a strong character;
leadership descends from good character, not the other way
around.

This troubles Rush since so many people seem to think that the
courageous people were the draft dodgers and not those who went
to serve in the military. Diane adds that Schwarzkopf said that
the reason America ends up with a "lesser of two evils" approach
to its leaders is because people don't look at character first.

Schwarzkopf also "set the record straight" about the Gulf War,
and in particular he was not happy with how the media presented
the war. Rush is glad that Schwarzkopf is talking about the
importance of character, since character is an essential
component of civilization from the top down.

America, though, is full of people who think that others should
not impose their morality on others. Yet morality is doing the
right thing as opposed to doing the wrong thing.

Phone Clinton from Kansas City, MO

Rush calls Clinton's name several names without response, and
Rush bets that "he must be with Gennifer."

Phone Lee from Greenbay, WI

Lee heard on the news that Hillary Clinton said she would take a
more comprehensive role in a Clinton administration than Barbara
Bush has taken in the Bush administration. Rush comments that he
read this in the first hour with great incredulity since liberals
have been complaining for months that it was unfair of the
Republicans to attack Hillary since she was "just a candidate's
wife." However, Hillary has now admitted to the Baltimore Sun
that she would "influence policy."

Bo tells Rush that he's gotten Clinton from Kansas City back on
the line, but Rush has run out of time, and thus will call him
back on Tuesday.
