NEWS

o       Former tennis star Arthur Ashe has revealed that he was
infected with the HIV virus when he received a blood transfusion
during heart surgery in either 1979 or 1983. Ashe has yet not
developed AIDS, and hospital officials state that surgery
patients have a very low risk of getting AIDS because the blood
supply is very safe.

o       The United States did not help Libyan officials find the
downed plane that was carrying Yasser Arafat. Former President
Jimmy Carter had called the White House Situation Room to ask
them to provide humanitarian aid, but Arafat's plane was found
before the Bush administration could come to a decision on the
request.

MORNING UPDATE

Supposedly, the world loses 40 million acres per year - this has
scared the world into hysteria, and of course America is at
fault. Evil Americans are chopping down the rain forest so that
they can build their homes, and their selfishness is responsible
destroying hundreds of species, one of which might even be able
to provide the cure for AIDS or cancer.

Rush, however, says that there is no reason to panic; nature is
far more powerful than any or all of humanity. Geochemist Paul
Quay of the University of Washington at Seattle has reported that
the amount of plant material on Earth has remained constant.
Thus, nature is compensating. "It's all right, we're not going to
die," Rush says, "and we can't destroy the planet anyway."

FIRST HOUR

Rush was reading the novel "The Firm" last night and lost track
of time. When he saw that the time was 2:05 am, he turned on the
radio and listened to the first hour of his show which was being
rebroadcasted. He says "I'm damn good," and that he predicted the
entire NY election results - Clinton won by a landslide, and
Tsongas was generating the most excitement in the campaign.
Clinton got 41% while Tsongas got 29% of the vote even though he
wasn't running. Most of Tsongas's support, though, came from
dissatisfied voters.

Rush, though, admits that he was "slightly off-center" in saying
that the Democratic process is similar to picking the car that
will come in last at the Indianapolis 500. A letter writer to
Rush instead compares Democrats to the Denver Broncos, who
eventually "get to the big game and choke - they lose horribly."

Rush was right, though, in saying that the turnout would be very
low. This is especially interesting given how much coverage the
media has been giving this primary. During the past two weeks,
the only news in NYC has been the Democratic campaign, and yet
voters stayed away from the polls. This should show how out of
touch the media is in New York.

Brown did well where the media gave him only with spotty
coverage. In New York City, though, Brown was in a "media
microwave" and he finished last. Rush is amazed that anyone still
thinks Brown has any chance at all. However, Brown gave a good
speech last night, and Rush says that this is because he was
finally being himself.

The exit polls from yesterday showed that 66% of all who voted
wished they had somebody else to vote for. In Connecticut two
weeks ago, that figure was 58%. The polls show that Clinton got
the less educated and lower income vote; he got 62% of the non-
high school graduate vote, and only 35% of the post-graduate
vote. Tsongas got 9% of the non-graduate vote and 36% of the
post-graduate vote. Clinton got more than half the votes of the
people who make less than $15,000 per year, and 39% of those who
make more than $70,000 per year. Brown, however, gets about 20%
of all the voting groups, which shows that the "mediocre kooks"
are voting for him.

Paul Tsongas gave a speech after the election and has said that
he will examine the voting results before he will make his
decision about whether he will re-enter the race. Tsongas claims
that he doesn't want to be a spoiler, but this is the only thing
he can be - Clinton already has most of the delegates he needs.
However, although he's got the numbers, Clinton doesn't have the
hearts and souls of his voters. Thus, Tsongas can't possibly win
the nomination; he's already half a million dollars in debt, and
all he can do is "slow down Slick Willie."

Rush states that there will not be a brokered Democratic
convention unless Clinton really overdoses on scandal between now
and July. This is Tsongas' only hope - that he can hang in long
enough until Clinton is finally and fatally torpedoed. In any
case, though, "we're still talking about the Denver Broncos."

Items

o       A letter writer on CompuServe asked about Rush's KoolAid
references, and he mentions Jim Jones and Guyana. <<Jim Jones was
a cult leader who gave poisoned KoolAid to his followers in
Guyana after he had a visiting Congressman killed.>>

o       The NY Post has an editorial cartoon of a bloated duck
lying on its back, and the bomb squad is trying to "defuse" it.

o       Arthur Ashe is reportedly going to announce today that he
has contracted AIDS. One of the wire services is reporting the
story and will be holding a press conference at noon today, EST.

o       The White House is denying that it had a direct role in
finding Yassar Arafat's crashed aircraft in the Libyan desert.
Jimmy Carter reportedly called the White House situation room to
request their aid in finding the plane. Rush calls this
interesting because there is a story in today's Washington Post
about Quayle's meeting with Jewish leaders. Quayle reportedly had
rebuilt a number of bridges that the Bush administration had
destroyed with their stance on Israeli loan guarantees. Rush will
talk more about this after the break.

*BREAK*

Rush talks about the "big date" he had on Monday night. Several
months ago, he went out with a lady from "out of town"
<<Ginger?>> who has now reciprocated by coming to New York. His
first date, though, was marred by his horrible cold which
deadened their brunch together. This date was also cut short when
the woman got a phone call and had to leave early to "pick up" a
friend. Rush thought that this was simply a pre-arranged signal
that the woman had setup to get out of the date; Rush suspects
this because he did similar things when he was a "young DJ in my
20s messing around with groupies." (Rush would tell a young lady
to stand outside a certain place and he would pick her up in
such-and-such a car. He then, though, drove by first in a
different car so he could scope her out.)

Rush never called the woman back because "when you're told no -
no means no." Well, nine months later the woman called Rush and
left a message on his answering machine about how she was
assailed by her friends for going out with such a "reprobate" as
Rush Limbaugh. A little later, she called Rush again to ask him
to take her to dinner and the theater when she came to town. Rush
agreed, but during the date the two got into an argument about
the song "Men"; Rush insisted that the song was by the Judds
because his "staff is never wrong about these things." The song,
though, is actually by the Forester sisters.

The woman, though, then told Rush that after their first date she
had to boycott his show because Rush started talking about how he
was never going to have a relationship because he was too
"selfish." She then complained that Rush never called her back.
Rush told her that he assumed that she didn't want to see him
again because 1) she ended the date early, 2) shook his hand as
he left, and 3) told him that she was never going to come to New
York. After all this, the woman then tells Rush that she now has
a "main squeeze."

Rush then told her that if her "main squeeze ever goes limp, I'm
not going to know unless you tell me, right?" She agreed and Rush
then took her to the World Trade Center for the view. At the end
of the evening when he took her back to her hotel, Rush didn't
even bother getting out of the car. The woman, however, literally
flew out of the passenger side. However, she did stick her head
back in the window and tell him that she had a good time.

To show their concern and interest in their boss, the EIB staff
then asks Rush if he went back to the 7-11. He answers with a
decisive "no!"

*BREAK*

Phone   Anna from Springfield, MO

Anna has an 11-year old daughter in 6th grade, and Rush comments
that this is Mike Tyson's reading level, as determined by the
prison authorities. Rush also remarks that Anna obviously has
been "raped" at least once by her husband, since Katherine
McKinnon claims that all sex in marriage is rape, but women just
don't know it because they think they are in love. Anna says that
she is no feminist, and that although she is a registered nurse,
she has chosen to be a home-maker and a stay-at-home mom.

Anna's daughter has to do a report on an important person and she
has chosen Rush as her subject. Anna is thus calling on behalf of
her daughter to get some biographical information on Rush. Rush
promises to send Anna a press-kit on him which her daughter can
use. He also suggests that her daughter read this month's Vanity
Fair issue which has an article on him. Rush is honored by the
daughter's choice of him, and Anna says that her daughter will be
glad to hear the news since she was afraid she wouldn't be able
to get any information.

*BREAK*

The EIB network has decided to cash in on the trading card
business - a subsidiary of EIB, Ms. Carriage, is going to market
feminist trading cards. The cards will have front and rear views,
and will include statistics on what these feminists' greatest
accomplishments have been. Of course, feminists' greatest
accomplishments are defined by how much they have shafted men.
Rush promises that he is serious about this, and that "lawyers
are drafting up the papers even now."

*BREAK*

SECOND HOUR

Items

o       Rush plays his commercial for EIB's upcoming Feminazi
Trading Cards. The ad copy reads:

<<Female voice>> I'll give you two Gloria Steinems for one Anita
Hill.

<<Narrator who's been doing too many Monster Truck and rodeo
commercials>> Trading cards have always been for males only. It's
just not fair, it's not right.

<<Female>> Damn, I spilled nail polish on my Betty Friedan.

<<Narrator>> Well, EIB is proud to introduce Feminazi Trading
Cards for you to save, to collect, to trade. Feminazi cards are
designed for the woman in mind. On the front, an action shot of a
leading feminist - burning a bra, dominating a TV show, picketing
an all-men's club, protesting a Rush Limbaugh concert, charging
into a men's locker room, denouncing Ronald Reagan.

<<Female>> I'll do anything for a Pat Schroeder.

<<Narrator>> On the back, all the vital statistics - bustline,
waist, hips, the documented age, the number of abortions, and
where applicable, the alimony payments and divorce settlements.
Each bio has at least one profound thought, and a beauty secret.
Get them all!

Each set includes not only today's feminazi superstars like Molly
Yard and Eleanor Smeal, but yesterday's heroes like Bella Abzug
and Gloria Steinem. Plus, outstanding rookies like Anita Hill and
Judge Hoerchner. Don't get left out, start collecting Feminazi
Trading Cards today! Another fine product of Ms. Carriage, Inc.

Rush follows this with his medley of the country-western tune
"Men" (by the Forester sisters) mixed in with the feminist slogan
"we're fierce, we're feminists, we're in your face."

o       The wife and 15-year old son of Stuart Abramowitz (the
subway conductor who was paralyzed when he tried to protect a
woman who was shot and killed by her boyfriend) come into the EIB
studios. They thank Rush and his listeners for their generosity
in contributing to the WABC fund to help Abramowitz.

Rush asks Mrs. Abramowitz about Stuart's condition and she
replies that he is still paralyzed, but their spirits have been
greatly lifted by the kindness that has been showed to them. Rush
says that Stuart Abramowitz was an incredibly brave man, and Mrs.
Abramowitz says that the support shown to her family has been
incredible. Her son echoes her words.

Mrs. Abramowitz were just at a ceremony held by the Transit
Authority to honor her husband. Rush thinks that the word "hero"
is thrown about very cavalierly in America, but Stuart Abramowitz
is truly the definition of what a hero is. Stuart knew exactly
what he was doing, and very few people would have done what he
did. Rush thanks the two for coming by and asks them to let him
know if he and EIB can do anything for them.

*BREAK*

Phone   Bruce from Ithaca, NY

Bruce wonders if Hillary Clinton is a "feminazi in lawyer's
clothing." Rush agrees, and Bruce says that the decision she now
has to make is "toll house or White House." He then reads one of
his poems - "Decision 92, Who's Going to Mind the Toll House?"

Who's going to mind the toll house while you're living in the
White House?
I ask you, Hillary Clinton, can you answer that for me?
To pit a lawyer's scheming head against a pan of gingerbread
Is in my own opinion nothing short of blasphemy.

For gingerbread, and all things wrought by hand beat anything
your money's bought.
Since you aspire to step up to the bench.
You shot your mouth off from the hip, and took aim at a chocolate
chip,
The only role for which that makes you a model - is a wench.

You've placed your pampered self above all others who with hands
of love
Have rocked this nation's cradle since its tiny, toddling steps.
Had each one of the fairer sex been prone to cast a legal hex
Then there would be no population to be lawyer of.

If I were your adviser, I'd embark on something wiser
Than to cast your fertile sisters as a bunch of mindless trolls.
Just remember while you're gloating, that those trolls will all
be voting,
Between domestic duties they'll be running to the polls.

Hoping to take Barbara's crown by putting cookie bakers down
To appease the feminazis may have been your big mistake.
It would be more democratic and you'd avoid more static
And Bill might be more faithful if you'd only learned to bake.

Rush likes the poem and says that this is why he has named Bruce
"poet laureate of the EIB network." Bruce says that he has also
written the "Rushman Cometh," and promises to FAX it to Rush.

Phone   Terri from Sherwood, AK

Terri gives "heavy hearted dittos" because she is totally
disillusioned with the Republican party. She doesn't want to be a
passive voter that only expresses her opinion at the ballot box.
She wants to do more than that, but she was depressed by the Bill
Moyers PBS special on the S&L crisis. Rush wonders why Terri
would "subject" herself to a Bill Moyers special, which is
nothing more than a litany of all the bad things that
conservatives have supposedly done to America. She admits it was
a mistake and utters a plaintive "help me."

Terri said that if her husband had only been home, he could have
saved her. Rush asks her how many children she has, and she says
she has one daughter. Rush asks how old the daughter is by asking
how long ago her husband "raped" her. She answers "he's a truck
driver and it's been too long." She does admit that she "asks"
for it every time her husband "rapes" her. Rush bets that the
feminazis are screaming at their radios right now. Terri admits
that she even begs sometimes, and says hi to her husband, Glen,
who's out on the road - "hi, babe." Rush hopes that Glen is still
on the road after hearing all this., and hasn't driven off into a
ditch.

Terri gets back to her main topic and says that she is
disillusioned that so many Republicans are also involved in the
scandals going on in Washington. Rush says that Terri is
articulating a "general frustration that good and decent people
in this country are also feeling" - this country's institutions
are corrupt and are not working.

Rush says that the acquisition of money is what motivates most
people, and what is angering so many people is that Washington
representatives are acquiring huge amounts of money simply by
virtue of their elected positions. He asks Terri to hold through
the break.

*BREAK*

Phone   Terri from Sherwood, AK (continued)

Rush says that a lot of people are upset over the same things
that are disturbing Terri. Everyone wants to stop this corruption
in Washington, but they feel helpless to do anything about it.
Terri says that she's been wrestling with the question of how she
can work within the system without becoming part of the problem.

Rush doesn't think that this is too difficult - you just have to
maintain your dignity and principles. Most people are law-abiding
and get their money through legal means; if someone like Terri's
husband wants more money, he's going to work longer hours or take
a second job. However, even if he does do this, he's still not
going to earn anywhere near the amount of money that congressmen
and lobbyists are getting in Washington.

The network that Washington insiders have built up for themselves
has become more important to them than their main purpose in
being in Washington in the first place. People are so fedup with
this attitude, though, that they are abandoning the entire system
and looking to outsiders such as Perot.

Terri, though, thinks that you can sweep out all incumbents, but
you're soon going to be right back where you were before unless
you implement real reforms. Rush says that term limits is the
best reform that should happen right now, and Terri thinks that
the line-item veto should not be far behind.

Rush adds more fuel to the fire by saying that Congress has
exempted themselves from Senator Kennedy's proposed "Pay or Play"
national health care plan. Senator George Mitchell (D-MA) has
added an amendment to the bill that specifically excludes
Congress from having to use the same coverage that the rest of
the nation must use. Congress can thus keep their current health
perks while they pass laws on the rest of the nation with
impunity. Congress thinks they know what is best for the country,
yet they don't want to play by the same rules that they impose on
the American people.

Rush says that it's hard to know what kind of message can really
be sent to Congress that will really make any difference. The
American people are so upset at the current establishment that
Paul Tsongas got nearly a third of the New York vote, but half of
that vote was from people who don't want Tsongas elected, but who
didn't want to vote for any of the other candidates either.

Rush tells Terri that the best thing she could do is to evaluate
each candidate individually and then vote her conscience. She
shouldn't have to worry too much about being totally compromised
since "you almost have to go to Washington to be totally
compromised." You can have crooks in state government, of course,
but it happens far more easily in Washington.

Rush is glad that people are waking up, but there are some
dangers in this, too. For example, Perot is attracting a lot of
people; however, Rush still has some reservations about Perot's
candidacy. He left a message on CompuServe asking other members
of the ISSUES forum whether they believed Perot's candidacy was
really spontaneously started on the Larry King show in February.
Perot supposedly didn't want the job, but managed to "get talked
into it" by the end of King's show. CNN got 21,000 calls the next
day and so Perot immediately decided to setup an 800 number.

This seemed to be an "awfully fast conversion" to Rush, and thus
he asked the forum members about this. He then asked Perot's
supporters that if Perot has been deceiving his supporters about
the nature of his candidacy, would this matter to them. Perot's
supporters, though, simply don't want to hear any negatives about
their leader, and are willing to ignore Perot's positions on the
issues.

*BREAK*

Steve Nicely of the Kansas City Star wrote an article for the
paper's Sunday, June 2, 1991 issue titled "Campaign launched in
Kansas City Pushes Perot for President." The article stated that
a number of people got together to urge Perot to run for
President. Perot wasn't at the meeting, but this story shows that
Perot certainly wasn't surprised about the idea of running for
President when he came onto the Larry King show.

Also, Perot taped a show for Phil Donahue and Vladimir Posner
last December in which he hinted at the possibility of being
President. The Perot campaign is also providing a video-tape to
the media; the tape shows Perot speaking at Thomas Jefferson High
School on November 2, 1991. In that speech, Perot referred to
what the President should do.

Thus, "it's a fairly reasonable conclusion" that Perot has been
at the very least "mulling over the idea of running for President
for far longer than we've been led to believe." This might
trouble some people, but Perot's supporters will undoubtedly not
be swayed by this news. Perot makes his supporters feel like they
matter, and it is not his policies which are important to them.

This is what Rush demonstrated on his April Fools Day show, in
which he showed that an absurd message (raise taxes on the poor)
did not dissuade a number of listeners from accepting the rest of
what he was saying.

Rush will talk about the Washington Post column about Perot after
the break. In fact, he'll even tell his listeners what they
should think about it. (Rush knows that when he says "I'll tell
you what to think" that it really bugs liberals; of course, this
is exactly why he says it.)

*BREAK*

Rush doesn't have enough time to talk about the column about
Perot, and so he will discuss it in the third hour. The column
"gets right to the heart" of what is going on in Washington and
how people feel about it. He tells his CompuServe listeners that
they can log into the Executive Service and get a copy of Robert
Samuelson's article in the Washington Post.

Rush closes the segment with a bit of "news" about Capitol Hill -
an aide walked into Senator Kennedy's office and asked him what
he was going to do about the abortion bill. Kennedy replied "I
guess I'll have to pay it."

*BREAK*

THIRD HOUR

Robert J. Samuelson wrote a column for Newsweek that was
reprinted in the Washington Post. Samuelson notes that "outsider"
candidates have captured about 30% of today's voters. Rush will
read some of this column and he wishes Perot supporters would pay
attention to what Samuelson is saying about the direct
involvement of people in their government. Samuelson writes the
following:

"There is an ancient dilemma here - government should reflect the
will of the people. But often what the people want isn't good for
them. The founding fathers recognized this. The founding fathers
feared this. The founding fathers strove to create a government
strong enough to be effective, and restrained enough to avoid
recklessness. They placed some hope in enlightened legislators
who `might refine the public's view to discern the country's true
interest.' [James Madison, Federalist Papers #10]

"Much of today's political frustration stems from the failure of
our leaders to attain Madison's lofty ideals. Government now
generally gives people what they want. Americans rebel against
both higher taxes and fewer government services. The result -
staggering budget deficits that Rudman deplores.

"But why then are people mad at their politicians? The answer is
that Americans intuitively grasp Madison's message even if they
haven't read the Federalist Papers. Our elected leaders are
supposed to make choices even at some risk to themselves that we
can't make for ourselves."

In order words, political leaders are supposed to make the hard
choices that Americans are unwilling to make. Budget deficits
have resulted because an increasing number of people are
demanding that the government "pay more and more for our daily
lives," under the mistaken belief that the US government is a
charity.

Senator Tim Worth (D-CO) has announced that he will not run for
re-election because he doesn't think that he can achieve anything
in Washington. The people are now demanding that things get
"fixed," but there's no agreement on how to do it. The only way
that this can be fixed is if "true leaders" like Michigan's John
Engler come forward and put a stop to the ever increasing
entitlement programs.

Engler has taken about 100,000 able-bodied people off the welfare
rolls. George Voinavich of Ohio has done the same thing because
his state doesn't have the money any more. Of course, the
rejected welfare recipients are angry, but unsurprisingly, the
people who pay taxes are very happy.

Many politicians, though, listen to the welfare protestors
instead of listening to the taxpayers. It is always the
discontented who protest, while those who are happy just live
their lives. However, the people who are paying for these
services are the ones who should be paid attention to. By the
year 2000, two-thirds of this country's budget will be going to
entitlement programs, and over half of this country's citizens
will depend on government for all or a majority of their standard
of living. It will be too late then to make these decisions. The
working taxpayers have to be listened to now in order to reverse
this trend.

However, Rush finds it fascinating that Perot is getting support
because people want to be in control again, yet the people are
already getting what they want. George Will has been saying this
for years - you can't have lower taxes along with higher
benefits.

*BREAK*

Phone   Mary from Alexandria, VA

Mary thinks people are so desperate and disgusted with the status
quo that they are looking at H. Ross Perot as if he were some
kind of messiah. People don't know very much about him at all,
especially about his character or what he believes in. Rush says
that today Perot's supporters don't care about these things; not
even Ronald Reagan captured people's attentions like this.

Perot has side-stepped the traditional media in order to bring
his message to the people - he chooses programs like Donahue or
Larry King where he won't be attacked, or creates his own forums
by giving speeches. When Perot appeared on This Week With David
Brinkley, he appeared like a fish out of water; Rush can't
imagine Perot allowing himself to be in the same situation as
Brown and Clinton were in during the New York primaries.

Mary also disputes the idea that Perot's candidacy was not
planned - Perot is a successful businessman, and you don't
achieve such success by not planning ahead.

*BREAK*

Federal officials are looking into a series of accidents that
killed a number of endangered fish. The accidents occurred during
a $2 million program to increase the populations of razorback
suckers, squaw fish, and humped-back chubs in Western rivers. The
fish were shipped to a New Mexico hatchery, but most died
"because of a comedy of errors," according to Tom Smiley of the
US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Rush wonders if Native Americans are upset about the name of the
squaw fish, not to mention that the name "humped-back chubs"
makes fun of the "spinally-challenged." There is some good news
about all these dead fish, though - at least these fish are no
longer endangered. Sean Connery will now probably claim that the
razorback sucker had the cure for cancer.

Phone   Bob from South Kingston, RI

Bob gives "dittos from the smallest and most corrupt state of the
union." Rush bets that a lot of listeners would claim that their
state is the most corrupt, but Bob says that his state
legislature is having a closed-door meeting on ethics. Rush calls
this typical.

Bob's main point, though, is that he thinks that Leona Helmsey
has been railroaded by the government. He doesn't think anyone
who pays $54 million in taxes on $104 million in adjusted gross
income to be a tax cheat. Bob says that the rich no longer even
have any tax shelters. Rush mentions that his is probably the
only show in the world that has ordinary people calling in to
defend people like Leona Helmsey, and to lament that the rich
don't have any more tax shelters.

Rush calls this a brilliant observation and adds that Helmsey has
paid $600 million over the past 6 years. Bob says that liberal
talk show host Ted O'Brien did a poll on whether Helmsey should
go to jail; Bob couldn't call in because he was driving one of
his trucks. However, almost everybody said that she should go to
jail or do some government service. He thinks that everybody has
been totally brainwashed about this.

Rush says that this is the result of the politics of class envy -
the people want the rich to be "shown what life is all about."
Bob mentions how the Washington Post seems to think that Jerry
Brown's flat tax is unfair, because it doesn't tax the rich
enough, and taxes the poor too much. He, though, thinks a flat
tax is the epitome of fairness.

Rush says that "everything is unfair to the poor," at least as
far as the Washington Post is concerned. He does think Leona
Helmsey has been sentenced to jail simply because she was "mean."
However true this might be, though, this is not a crime in
America. Allen Dershowitz has also claimed that the 72-year old
Helmsey will die in jail.

Phone   Cullen from Plainville, OH

Cullen says that Andy Rooney seems to have stolen an idea from
Rush - on his segment during the last 60 Minutes show he
suggested "taxing the poor." Thus, America should find out "what
did Rooney know and when did he know it." Cullen also thinks that
"tom cat" would be a good term for a male slut, but Rush says
that this is politically incorrect because it insults an animal.
However, Rush says that there is no such word, because there is
no such thing as a male slut. This is why the dictionaries don't
have such a word.

o       US governors have appointed women to 25% of their cabinet
posts this year, according to a survey released by the National
Women's Political Caucus. Governor William Weld (R-MA) had the
highest percentage with 5 women in his 11-member cabinet. Rush
wonders how this can be if Republicans are really women-hating
jerks. Governor Bill Clinton (D-AK), however, has only 3 women in
his cabinet, which places him in the bottom third of the survey.
Rush remarks that "you'd think Clinton would have more women
under him than that."

o       Yasser Arafat's plane has been found and Rush wonders if
anyone has ever seen him and Ringo Starr together in the same
room.

Phone   Carol from Ramsen, NY

Carol was at the dentist on Monday, and while the hygienist was
working on Carol's teeth, she was talking with Carol's 5-year old
son. The hygienist was impressed at how smart the boy was and
asked him how he got that way; he answered "I listen to Rush
Limbaugh." Carol says that the only bad thing about this remark
is that her son used to say "God made me smart," and Rush says
not to lump him together with God; after all, "it's Ross Perot
who's acting like the savior, not I."

Rush plays his commercial for the Feminazi Trading Cards, but
wonders if he shouldn't put something other than bubblegum in the
card's packages. He considers Norplant patches, pregnancy test
kits, and condoms, but he finally settles on chewing tobacco.

*BREAK*

Phone   Annie from Virginia Beach, VA

Annie saw Dateline with Jane Pauly last night, in which she
talked about "gender bias." She wonders if feminazis were behind
the study that showed that teachers called on little boys more
often than little girls in class. Girls were still succeeding,
but the teachers agreed to give them "more attention." Rush
didn't see the show, but thanks her for the update.

Item

o       Tribal leaders on Indian reservations are trying some
rather drastic measures to get rid of alcoholism - one such
practice is the "sweat lodge" in which the alcoholic and a
medicine man enter a tent that has been heated to above 100
degrees. They confess their misdeeds and such, and Rush predicts
that this is what the Democratic convention will be like.
