NEWS

o       A proposal to build thousands of low-income homes in the
Goleta, CA area is being attacked as the "condoization of
Goleta." Some Goleta residents are complaining that their area is
being unfairly targeted for low-income housing since upscale
Montecito residents don't want such housing next to their
million-dollar homes. Since the proposed houses would be built in
a totally undeveloped area, the plan calls for all pets in the
area to wear bells to warn off existing wildlife.

MORNING UPDATE

Everybody thinks that the current times are the worst the US has
seen since the Great Depression, thanks in large part to Clinton
and Gore repeatedly saying so every day. However, this feeling
does not jibe with the misery index, which evaluates the nation's
inflation, unemployment, and interest rates according to the
Gross National Product. The Wall Street Journal has ranked
previous administrations according to their misery index ratings.

The worst (#10) since WWII was the Jimmy Carter administration.
Next worst was the Nixon-Ford administration (#9), followed by
the first (#8) and second (#7) Eisenhower terms. Nixon's first
term comes next (#6), followed by LBJ's second term (#5). The
Bush administration then comes next (#5), followed by Truman (#4)
and JFK (#3). Number two on the list was Ronald Reagan's second
term, and the administration that had the least misery since WWII
was Reagan's first term.

"How can that be?" asks Rush. "But it's true."

FIRST HOUR

Items

o       EIB has 530 affiliates - WTIC in Hartford is joining the
EIB network today. Rush warns his new listeners that they will
have to hit the ground running, and devote a good six weeks of
listening before they really start to understand the show. Many
of these new listeners will be outraged, shocked, and angered,
not because Rush is shocking or outrageous but because he is
right.

These listeners will have a knee-jerk reaction and write letters
to the management at WTIC, but this is a waste of energy.
Furthermore, those who write complaint letters will three weeks
later write another letter begging the station to ignore their
previous letter.

Rush's show is not a place that thinks pain, suffering, and
misery are the normal course of events, although this may change
if Clinton is elected. Rush's program celebrates and enjoys life,
and people should be ready for this rather unusual approach.
Furthermore, Rush does not need to be balanced with equal time
because he is equal time.

o       Rush will find out tonight whether his best-seller of a
book will be number one on the NY Times best seller list for the
4th week in a row. He adds that Norman Schwarzkopf's book is also
doing well, but Schwarzkopf has gotten blood poured on him during
his book signing tour. Anti-war activists are evidently unhappy
about Schwarzkopf's continued success.

o       Rush is somewhat irritated because "you people are
costing us money." People are calling up on the EIB 800 number
asking how they can subscribe to Rush's latest foray into
publishing, the Limbaugh Letter. Rush has been perfectly clear as
to how this newsletter can be ordered, and if people still don't
know how to order it, then they should stay tuned for the
upcoming commercial for the Limbaugh Letter.

o       Jim Barnes, a high-powered executive for the Philco
California audio-electronics chain, wrote Rush a letter with the
latest evidence of how bad the California economy is right now -
the recession is so bad that the demand for high-end camcorders,
VCRs, and big screen TVs has outstripped supply. Barnes thinks it
is obvious that the bad economy is to blame for the short supply
of these expensive items.

Furthermore, the Philco chain set an all-time high for a 3-day
sales record last weekend, and "if business continues like this,
we will have to hire more people. This distresses us." Barnes
apologizes for "dumping" on Rush with this sort of bad news, but
"the guilt is too much to bear alone."

Rush would therefore like to make the point that the US is not in
the deepest recession ever. He repeats the top ten listing of the
misery index from his Morning Update - Jimmy Carter had the
highest misery index, while Reagan's two terms had the lowest
index since WWII. Bush's administration is right in the middle,
which shows that things can indeed get worse.

o       Rush pledges that his TV show tonight will include clips
of Judge Susan Hoerchner at the Clarence Thomas hearings.

o       Lo Bianco has brought in the photos he had taken when
President Bush visited the EIB studios a couple of weeks ago. One
picture shows Bush sitting in Rush's chair looking up to Lo
Bianco, as if Bush were asking Lo Bianco for advice.

*BREAK*

Dr. "Death," Jack "the Dripper" Kevorkian, is back in the news;
he's mad about the way Michigan legislators are supporting a bill
that would allow doctor-assisted suicide "under strict
safeguards." Rush wonders what kind of safeguards are necessary
for suicide. He adds that he tried to borrow a copy of Derek
Humphrey's "Final Exit" at his local library, but the library's
six copies had all been checked out and not one of them has been
returned.

Update  Anita Hill         (The Guess Who, "It's Too Late, She's
Come Undone")

Anita Hill was on the Today show to mark the one-year anniversary
of her allegations against Clarence Thomas. Hill said that people
have become more aware about the sexual harassment issue. Rush
repeats his comparison between the polls that were taken then and
now; in 1991 the polls showed that two-thirds of Americans
believed Thomas instead of Hill, while now 43 to 39% believe Hill
instead of Thomas.

This interesting tidbit shows that when the public saw Thomas'
testimony and Hill's testimony for themselves, they came to their
own conclusions. Now, though, after a year of the media telling
them what they should believe, many have fallen right in line
with the media's spin on things.

On the Today show, Hill claimed that Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA)
has admitted that he knows more about sexual harassment than he
did last year; however, she is not convinced that Specter has had
a "raised awareness of the issue." Rush again points out that the
issue is not whether awareness has been raised, but whether Hill
had any evidence to prove her accusations. It was Specter's job
to determine if Hill was telling the truth.

Specter claimed Hill had perjured herself because during one
morning session Hill claimed that she had not been told that she
would never have to go public with her allegations if she
presented them to the Senate Committee; later that afternoon,
however, Hill contradicted herself. Rush adds that Hill has been
paid up to $10,000 for some of her speeches, regardless of
whether her supporters believe this or not.

*BREAK*

Phone   Janet from San Bernadino, CA

Janet is "fired up and angry" and feels like "running naked
through the streets screaming" because the news media is not
covering Clinton's peace protests and visits to the Soviet Union.
She knows Phil Donahue and Charles Gibson have mentioned these
things to Clinton, but Clinton has shrugged their questions off.
One thing that Janet noted in particular was that when Gibson was
talking to Clinton this morning, Clinton was "squirming in his
seat."

Rush says that the media is getting on-board these stories about
Clinton - in addition to Gibson's questions on Good Morning
America, the Washington Post and New York papers all have stories
about Clinton's appearance on Donahue yesterday. If President
Bush, though, had made an issue about this, it would have become
news as soon as he talked about it.

However, since nobody in the Bush/Quayle campaign is talking
about this, the media has not been paying much attention. This is
why people like Rush and Bob Dornan have kept talking about these
things - so that they'll eventually bubble up to the national
media. Rush was asked about these stories during his Time
magazine interview, so things are starting to happen.

Rush is interested in Janet's comment about "squirming" because
Clinton's one glaring weakness, as far as the Presidency goes, is
his lack of foreign policy experience. Clinton once felt
threatened by this issue so much that he even tried to claim that
his use of the Arkansas National Guard qualified him to be
Commander-in-Chief and to handle world affairs.

Rush therefore would think that since Clinton does have a
weakness in foreign policy and since his international
credentials are lacking, that he would play up his foreign
travel, especially to the Soviet Union. Clinton could claim that
he travelled to foreign countries while in college to "develop an
understanding" with the Soviets or whomever.

Clinton, though, has not mentioned anything like this, and
instead it appears that he does not want any of this to be
brought up. Why else would he begrudgingly be admitting that
these stories are true? This indicates to Rush that there may
well be more to these travels of his than is now known.

Janet agrees, but she is bothered by how time is running out for
the election, and the press needs to stay on this story. Rush
points out that it is not the press' job to get Bush elected, but
he bets that the word "Moscow" gets mentioned during the debate
next Sunday and he is certain that things will become more
interesting because of it.

*BREAK*

Rush summarizes what is known about Clinton's travels - in
December, 1969 Clinton travelled to Moscow while on a break from
Oxford. Clinton has claimed that this was a time when tensions
between the US and USSR were thawing, which is not true. Clinton
also did not complete his second year at Oxford, and many are
claiming that Clinton did not even attend classes because he was
organizing peace protests.

Yesterday, Phil Donahue told Clinton that this whole episode is
another example of Clinton saying "yes, I was there" and "no, I
wasn't." Clinton vehemently denied this. Donahue then said that
these were proper questions to ask since the public has a right
to know what kind of leadership Clinton would bring to the White
House. Clinton replied "you are wrong to ignore my entire public
life, which you and a lot of other people have done, and to make
up your own characterization of this so that you can once again
divert people from the things that will affect their lives."

Rush says that Clinton's answer is an example of the technique
that he has had to develop throughout his political career -
whenever he asked questions about his dubious character he
answers that the questioner is out of touch and is not asking
questions that the public really cares about.

Clinton clearly doesn't want to talk about this, which should be
a warning sign in itself. Character, honesty, and integrity are
important, in spite of what Clinton says. If character was not
important, then why is Bush in trouble? Bush is having problems
because people think he has betrayed them and lied to them.

Clinton and Gore, however, are trying to scare the country so
much that they will ignore all of the talk about their past and
about their character problems. They don't want people to think
about these things because doing so might cause them to rethink
their vote.

Clinton has stated that while he was a student at Oxford, he had
a "chance meeting" in Oslo, Norway with Rev. Richard McSorely, an
anti-war activist who first met Clinton at Georgetown University.
Clinton insisted that the meeting at Oslo was "accidental and of
little import"; McSorely, however, has a totally different
interpretation of this event.

In November, 1969 Clinton helped to organize a "march of death"
against the US embassy in London. Over 1200 protestors
participated in this march, which ended with a torch-light vigil
at the embassy, and many of the protestors were dressed in black
robes and had painted their faces white. The demonstration was
praised by the New China News Agency, the official paper of North
Vietnam at the time, and by Pravda, the Soviet Communist daily.

Rev. McSorely says that Clinton "didn't break the law, but he was
pushing the police and the legalities as far as he could. He was
one of the main organizers of the American embassy protest in
1969." It should be pointed out that these are the words of a
friend of Clinton.

Clinton, though, told Donahue yesterday that his meeting with
McSorely was accidental - "I ran into him in the train station,
purely coincidentally. We went to the university together because
he was going there for this peace institute, and I was going
there to meet a guy from Arkansas who was at school there."

McSorely, though, has written in his 1978 book, "Peace Eyes,"
that he and Clinton spent most of the day together, visiting the
Peace Center as well as another peace institute that was founded
by two actors. After all this, McSorely and Clinton had a beer at
the end of the day, after which they went their separate ways.

There are also conflicting reports about a peace protest
organizational meeting at Martha's Vineyard in 1969. Clinton
yesterday told Donahue "I went to a meeting at Martha's Vineyard
with people who were alumni of Eugene McCarthy's Presidential
campaign, which I was not part of. They just wanted another
southerner to go. Some of the same people who were there also
organized what became the Vietnam Moratorium of 1970, but I was
not one of the organizers of it. I wouldn't have been ashamed to
be, but I didn't have anything to do with it."

Thus, Clinton continues to equivocate, so that if it ever should
be shown that he did organize peace protests, he could back out
gracefully. At this point on Donahue, Gore chimed in with "that's
really interesting stuff, Phil." Clinton then attacked Donahue by
sarcastically saying "this really has a lot to do with this
country."

A pro-Clinton biography, though - "Bill Clinton, the Inside
Story," by Robert E. Levin - states that Clinton was "actively
involved in the protest movement, both as a participant and as an
organizer in at least three countries - the US, Great Britain,
and the Soviet Union. He also was one of 40 student leaders from
throughout the United States who attended a closed-door meeting
in early '69 in Martha's Vineyard in which anti-war strategy was
discussed, and nation-wide marches and protests were planned."

This meeting is described in detail in the Levin biography, and
Levin says that Clinton was "even helping to organize rallies and
protests" at this meeting. The Vietnam Moratorium Committee was
organized at the Martha's Vineyard meeting, and it organized
anti-war protests throughout the US and Europe. The Committee,
along with the Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam,
organized the largest anti-war demonstration in Washington, DC on
October 15, 1969.

David Mixner, one of the founders of the Moratorium Committee,
credits Clinton as one of those who put this protest together and
praises him as a "major player in the protest movement." Levin
quotes Mixner as saying "Bill Clinton volunteered his time to
assist us in preparing for the Washington protest, and in anti-
war protests in hundreds of cities and towns across the country."

Thus, anti-war protestors and organizers are praising Clinton for
what he did, and Levin's biography is especially revealing since
it is a favorable biography that concludes Clinton is qualified
to be President.

*BREAK*

Rush continues on with Clinton's statement that he arrived in
Moscow on New Year's Eve, 1969, and that this was a time during
which relations were thawing between the US and USSR. However,
this week was the same during which Ross Perot's chartered plane
was not allowed to land in Moscow. Perot was only trying to
deliver humanitarian supplies to American POWs who were being
held in North Vietnam; one of these POWs was James Bond
Stockdale, his current Vice Presidential running mate.

If relations were really thawing between the two countries, as
Clinton claims, then why did the Soviets refuse Perot's
humanitarian aid, even while they were allowing Clinton to enter
the country? Why did the Soviets refuse to let Perot land or
continue on to North Vietnam? A NY Times story in 1969 documents
this.

*BREAK*

SECOND HOUR

Items

o       Rush returns to how Clinton was able to visit Moscow
while Perot was refused an entry visa. Some people might think
that this does not matter since it happened 23 years ago, but it
is important simply because Clinton is seeking the office of the
Presidency of the United States. He points out that while
American soldiers were dying in Vietnamese fields, Clinton was
visiting the main ally of those who were killing them.

Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden flew to Hanoi courtesy of the USSR; it
was the Soviets who made it possible for Fonda to get to North
Vietnam so that she could sit in an anti-aircraft gun. 1969 was
not a period of time in which the Cold War was thawing. Clinton
claims he attended only two anti-war protests at the time, yet
his biography not only lists more than two such protests, but
also those which Clinton helped organize.

The 60s were a period in which anti-war activists were throwing
rocks and burning down buildings as a "protest" against the war.
Many think that protest, dissent, and anger are what have formed
America; however, the founding fathers were protesting oppression
and the lack of freedom - was this really what the 60s protestors
were doing?

Does America really want one of these protestors as President,
especially since Clinton still doesn't want to talk about it? He
claims that this topic is irrelevant and doesn't matter to the
American people. Yet Clinton was able to get into Moscow while
Perot's attempt at humanitarian aid for American POWs was
refused; this does not sound like a period of thawing in
relations between the US and USSR as Clinton claims.

It's also interesting that newspapers are reporting that Clinton
"lost his cool" during the Donahue interview. Rush was surprised,
though, that Clinton didn't get angry when these stories first
surfaced. Clinton first tried to nervously laugh these
accusations off, which is strange since most people would be
righteously indignant if it was suggested that they had aided the
enemy of the US.

o       Sinead O'Connor is inspiring a lot of anger among viewers
because of her actions on Saturday Night Live. Rush is amazed,
though, that although it is clear that O'Connor is a typical
liberal who blames everyone else for her problems, nobody is
talking about how badly she sings.

O'Connor also evidently likes being ugly, since she goes out of
her way to be "coyote ugly" - you know a woman is "coyote ugly"
if a man wakes up next to her and if she is holding onto his arm,
he would rather gnaw his arm off at the shoulder rather than wake
her up.

Even so, O'Connor's main liability is that she cannot sing <<or
dance, either, for that matter>>. Everyone instead talks about
how we must "understand her rage" and listen to "her message."
The typical MTV critics are busy evaluating O'Connor's "soul"
instead of simply dismissing her as someone without talent.
O'Connor's message is the same as Sister Souljah's, who by the
way is also a weird person who can't sing.

o       Rush didn't see Perot's infomercial last night, and Kit
Carson admits that he only watched half the show himself because
it didn't hold his interest. Rush has the show on tape and will
watch it later.

o       The French are sorely vexed about the possibility that
Napoleon Bonaparte's manhood is not lying with the rest of his
body in France. Dr. Latimer of the Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Center in New York is claiming that he has Napoleon's "pickled
pinky" in a jar in his office. Latimer says that he got the item
some 20 years ago. Rush bets that this news will give comfort to
men, world leaders, and powerful generals across the world,
including "even short little hand-grenades with bad haircuts."

*BREAK*

Phone   Vince from Nashville, TN

Vince is angry and irritated by how the media is covering the
Presidential campaign. He thinks that the bumpersticker Rush got
from a listener that said "The news media - Democratic Damage
Control" says it all. The media is ignoring what a
Democratically-controlled Congress has done to the country, and
they are now portraying Clinton and Gore as something different
than the Democrats who brought about the House Bank and Post
Office scandals. Vince says that Money magazine has reported that
Congress has increased their personal spending 400% during the
past decade. The media reported this stuff when it happened, but
now they want the public to forget about it.

Rush says that the media did cover the House Bank scandal when it
happened, and many congressmen have suffered because of it. The
media, though, is not going to link the Democrats to Washington's
institutional failures. This simply won't happen.

Rush explains to new listeners that the "media" refers to the
network news (including NBC), CNN, and the nation's big
newspapers. However, what people are upset about is not what is
on the editorial pages, but the bias that is found in the
standard day-to-day reporting of these organizations.

Tom Foley is claiming that gridlock occurs at the White House,
but it is Congress who is to blame. Democrats have even admitted
that they would write legislation that the President would veto
so that they could use the veto against him during the elections.

*BREAK*

Rush says that he does not like liberalism - he does not think it
is compassionate or understanding, and it instead destroys
incentive and the individual. Liberalism is dangerously close to
socialism, and is a system that continually attempts to deny
human nature. The battle being waged right now between
conservatives and liberals is a vicious one, as can be seen in
the vicious press coverage against Ronald Reagan.

The bias against Bush is certainly bad, but it doesn't hold a
candle to the personal attacks against Reagan, who had the
ability to prove liberals wrong and to appeal directly to the
American people. One of the most vicious battles during the 80s
was about Contra aid, during which the liberal Democratic
leadership was allying itself with the Soviet Union in vote after
vote, simply to prevent Reagan from getting a legislative
victory.

Bush was elected and then tried to cooperate with both the
liberals in Congress as well as the media, and he gained nothing
from it. The last two years in Congress have been bogus
legislatively as liberals have continued their attacks against
Bush.

The only national election that occurs in the US, though, is the
Presidential election every four years, and the last 3 elections
have been won by men who articulated conservative beliefs. People
vote the issues when selecting a President, and this is why
liberals are so hysterical - conservatism is a winning issue in
national politics. This is why Bush is in so much trouble - he
turned his back on conservatism.

Those in Congress, though, are selected not according to
ideology, but rather according to local issues. Everyone hates
Congress but think their own guy is great. When Congress gets to
Washington, though, it stands in the way of the President. Tip
O'Neill actually said that the people were so scared of Reagan
that they voted in a Democratic Congress as a check on him.

People, though, get mad at how Congress stands in the way of the
President, who was elected on the basis of ideology at a national
level. Gridlock therefore occurs at the level of Congress, not
the White House. People are noticing how little is getting done
legislatively, which means Congress isn't doing its job. Some
people think it is a good idea, though, for Congress not to do
anything.

In any case, it should be clear that if people want to change
government, they should focus on Congress, and the best way to
change Congress is to get rid of the liberal Democrats who have
ruled Congress for decades. If people want to remember what it
was like under a Democratic President and Congress, then they
should remember Jimmy Carter.

*BREAK*

Phone   Ray from Tucson, AZ

17 years ago Ray talked with former Senator Harold Hughes who was
considering running for President but decided not to because "you
have to sell your guts" to do so. Ray therefore wants to know why
Clinton is not qualified to run for office because he makes only
$35,000 a year as Governor of Arkansas. Also, does somebody
really have to be rich to run for office? If not, how can the
average man run for office without ending up in debt to special
interests?

Rush says that his point about Clinton's salary was more about
the fact that Clinton has never held a job in the private sector.
This is highly relevant since Clinton doesn't appear to
understand how the private sector works. Clinton obviously is not
living off of $35,000 a year; Hillary earns $120,000 a year, not
to mention the perks and such that Clinton gets as governor.

Bill Clinton is telling America how it should invest its money,
yet what does he know about this except government public policy?
Economies, though, slow whenever government public policy
increases, and this is the relevant point. As to the average guy
running for office, the Presidency is not for the average guy.

People, though, are upset with career politicians, which is why
they like people such as Perot who appears to be a non-
politician. However, it's absurd to expect that you can be
President without rising through the political landscape in some
way.

Ray asks about congressional offices, and he wonders why so many
Democrats are millionaires when they get to office, and multi-
millionaires when they leave office. Rush says that the question
itself says a lot. It takes money, though, to get elected to any
office.

Rush is asked time and time again if he would ever run for
office, and he says no - he refuses to walk around with his hand
out for contributions. He gets call after call from one
politician after another, and all want him to appear at a rally
so as to help the politico raise money. Rush has refused to do
this sort of thing.

Politicians running for office have to run around asking for
money, and this money has to be repaid in one way or another.
This is the major reason Rush does not want to get involved in
politics - he doesn't want to dive into this financial morass.
This whole approach is why Congress gets mad when they can't
write checks for more than their bank balance, and why they get
mad when they get caught.

The Presidency, though, is the pinnacle of political achievement,
and people can reach that office only by being the best at
American politics.

*BREAK*

Moscow is arming Iran "to the teeth" - Russia needs money and
last week they sold Iran 100 of their most sophisticated MIG
fighter planes. They are also planning on selling three Diesel
submarines to the Iranians, which makes Rush wonder what Iran is
planning to do with these vessels.

Rush points out that the Soviet ICBMs are still aimed at the US,
and now Russia is arming the Middle East. Meanwhile, Clinton and
Gore are talking about courage and how Bush just doesn't have it.
Rush hopes that this news opens the eyes of some listeners.

*BREAK*

THIRD HOUR

Update  Condoms         (The Fifth Dimension, "Up, Up, and Away")

Rush says that both he and William Bennett have long thought that
dispensing condoms in schools is a disservice to kids - giving
out condoms sanctions and promotes the activity, not to mention
that their failure rate does not really protect kids. It's simply
a way for adults to wash their hands of any responsibility in
what their kids are doing. Meanwhile, kids are presented condoms
as if they were diplomas, while workers need retraining because
they weren't properly educated in the first place.

Last summer Rush pointed out to Bennett that if giving condoms to
kids is essential, and if kids must use a condom every time they
have sex, then why aren't condoms distributed during summer
vacations when school is out? Bennett agreed, and he then called
the principal of a New York school and pretended to be a student
who wanted a summer's worth of condoms. The principal said that
this would be okay, and Bennett said he would need a lot of them
because he was going to be really sexually active - he needed 500
condoms.

The principal was incredulous at this figure and said "no, you
can't have 500 condoms." Bennett then pointed out to the
principal that he could say no; the problem is that it takes him
too long to do so. If the principal was unwilling to give out 500
condoms, then why is he willing to give out 2 condoms? If you
can't stop kids from having sex in the first place, then why is
there a limit placed on the number of condoms being dispensed?

Rush has a memo that was sent from the office of New York
schools' Superintendent Joseph Fernandez; the memo went out to
all high school superintendents and principals and is dated
August 31. It details the ordering procedures that schools should
use in ordering each month's supply of condoms - orders must be
placed by the 30th of each month, with delivery taken within the
next 10 days. The memo states "all orders will be filled at the
same time, not on a first-come, first-served basis. Deliveries
will be sent to the principal via UPS."

Schools with less than 2,000 students can order a maximum of
1,000 condoms a month, schools with 2,000 to 4,000 students can
order up to 2,000 condoms a month, and schools with more than
4,000 students can order up to 3,000 condoms a month. Rush works
the math and realizes that the schools will be able to give only
one condom to every two students.

The schools cannot order a specific type of condom - the condoms
that the schools receive will be randomly selected from the two
available types - lubricated condoms, or condoms lubricated with
a spermicide. If schools regularly receive only one type of
condom, though, they can contact their health coordinator for
assistance.

Schools also will receive 12,000 copies of the "Risk and Benefits
of the Use and Misuse of Condoms" card, which is a year's supply.
In addition a box of non-lubricated condoms will be sent to each
school so that they can be used for "demonstration purposes."
Schools are also encouraged to use last year's condoms as long as
they were stored properly.

Condoms, though, should be made available only to students, and
since the district's supply of condoms is limited, the memo
states "we cannot be the sole provider of condoms." Rush bets
that the schools are spending more time and effort on these
condoms and memos than they are in ordering cafeteria food,
textbooks, etc.

Items

o       Eric Clapton's $50,000 Mercedes was crushed when
construction workers dropped a compressor on it. Rush is shocked
that Clapton would have such a cheap Mercedes.

o       Carol Moseley Braun is having trouble in her Senate race
in Illinois, as it's now been revealed that she and her mother
kept $28,000 in Medicaid money in their joint bank account. Braun
claims that she didn't know about this and offered to give the
money back. Braun, however, suffered an 8-point drop in a Chicago
Tribune poll when this news came out. The poll, though, shows
that Braun is still leading Republican Rich Williamson 46 to 29%.

Rush says that Braun managed to edge out incumbent Allen Dixon
during the Democratic primary; she is a former Recorder of Deeds
who has managed to end up being the front-runner for a US Senate
seat. Braun was also the one who on Meet the Press said that the
US needed women legislators since women are better equipped to
"nurture the economy and the country back to health."

Braun's only "qualification" seems to be that she is a woman, and
Rush wonders why the feminists aren't livid over Braun's
incompetence, not to mention her sexist "nurturing" comments.

o       Foreign-made cars will no longer be allowed in the Flint,
Michigan City Hall garage starting next Monday. The mayor issued
the order to send a "Buy American" message, and he left the door
open to a possible ban on foreign cars from other city parking
lots. Rush wonders about drivers' constitutional rights.

o       Washington, DC merchants are selling T-shirts that on the
front display a 9mm handgun with the text "If this don't get you
. . .", and on back an uzi with "this one will." EIB's own Johnny
Donovan, who strongly supports the Second Amendment, perks up his
ears at this news.

However, critics are attacking these T-shirts and demanding that
they be banned. Rush marvels at how the same people who are in an
uproar over these T-shirts are the same ones who ridiculed Quayle
for getting upset about "just a TV show." Somehow these people
think that the Murphy Brown TV show has no influence, while a
simple T-shirt is a threat because it can influence kids to shoot
people with guns.

Rush points out that if someone shots someone else with a gun, it
is because they shot a gun and not because someone else dared to
wear a T-shirt.

Phone   Jerry from Greensboro, NC

Jerry thinks that people are talking about Jimmy Carter too much,
and forgetting that LBJ's administration passed over 600 bills,
most of which were social reform/welfare type bills. Most of this
country's current problems originate from these laws, and thus
people should remember that it's not just Carter, but the last
three Democratic Presidents that have caused this country's major
problems.

Rush thinks that this is an excellent point, especially as so
many people think that the US economy is in the worst shape ever.
People worry about the deficit, but the deficit occurred not
because the country is under-taxed, but because liberal Democrats
have been spending far more than the country has taken in. This
money has been largely spent on liberal Democratic social
spending, the main purpose of which is to buy votes, and to
create an ever-increasing dependency class that empowers
liberals.

The bill is coming due for this hideous philosophy, and Rush
points to the layoffs of 1500 state workers in New Jersey. This
is a harbinger of things to come, and if government is ever going
to get costs in line, it will have to cut its bureaucracy.
Liberals, though, are still claiming that defense spending is to
blame.

This is not true, and the military spending did its job - it
brought the USSR to its knees and helped destroy Soviet
Communism. Social spending, however, has done nothing but
increase the number of people who are now dependent on the
government for their prosperity.

Rush explains why he uses his "chosen by God" line - last year
Magic Johnson replied to a question about his infection with the
HIV virus by saying that he was "chosen by God" to get this virus
so as to inspire others. Thus, if God chooses people to get AIDS,
then why can't God have chosen Rush to be the most listened-to
talk show host in the world?

Phone   Ben from Vacaville, CA

Ben thinks that Rush has done more for Arkansas in bringing
Snapple to the state than Governor Clinton has probably done in
12 years. Ben wonders why the family leave bill is worthwhile -
if 75% of workers are employed in businesses with less than 50
people, and if big businesses already have some sort of family
leave program implemented, then just how many people would this
bill have helped in the first place?

Rush adds that 92% of all female employees work for a company
that already has a maternity leave program in place. He thinks
the family leave bill is founded in feminist logic, although some
pro-life legislators felt they had to support the bill to be
consistent with their pro-life beliefs.

Rush, though, loves to make the related point that if liberals
really think that people can afford to take 3 months of unpaid
leave, then why do they claim that it's an "undue burden" on
women to have them wait 24 hours before an abortion can be
performed? If women can't afford to take an extra day off of work
for an abortion, then how could they possibly afford 3 months of
unpaid leave should they decide to have the baby?

This inconsistency in the logic of liberals is amazing yet
liberals still claim that abortions must be performed right now,
without having to wait one day.

Phone   Misty from Green Acres, WA

Misty says that Weekly Reader has done a poll of students about
who the President should be, and their poll has correctly
predicted the winner for the last 9 elections. Rush is stunned by
this news, because he used to read the Weekly Reader when he was
a young skull of mush.

He counts back Presidential elections and realizes that he voted
in at least two Weekly Reader polls. Misty hopes that Rush picked
the right ones, but Rush says that he would have voted for Nixon
back in 1960 and Goldwater in 1964. Misty says that the results
are supposed to come out this week, and she is anxiously awaiting
the news.

Rush relates that Bo Snerdley has already called the Weekly
Reader and has gotten the results. Misty is anxious to know the
results, and Rush is pleased to report that this poll of 600,000
kids gives Bush 55.5% of the vote, and Clinton 39.1%. Misty
issues a sigh of relief, saying "that's good."

Rush guesses that the Weekly Reader tends to be accurate because
these kids are voting for who their parents will be voting for.
Misty adds that if people want to send Clinton a consolation
prize, they should send candy because "Clinton already has had
Flowers." Rush thanks Misty for injecting some humor in the
program.

Phone   Elaine from Beaver, PA

Elaine read an Associated Press story several months ago about
how Clinton makes friends, keeps them, and uses them. Clinton
keeps in contact with all of his old friends, and some of them
like Linda Bloodworth-Thomason can be quite useful to him in his
campaign. Thus, if people are thinking that what Clinton did 20
years ago doesn't matter, they should think again because Clinton
is using the contacts he made back then even now. People should
be asking who Clinton met in Europe and how is he using them now?

Rush calls that a good point - it's important to remember who his
advisors are and who his supporters are. The Wall Street Journal
came out with a story about Clinton's economic advisors, and at
least a third of them used to work for George McGovern. Many of
Clinton's foreign policy advisors are also former McGovern and
Carter advisors.

Thus it's clear that Clinton is not a "new moderate" who has
broken with the Democratic past. Clinton's team is the same bunch
of liberals who have been advising liberals for years, and these
guys are itching at another chance to get their hands on the
tiller of government.

Elaine thinks that the press has no choice but to get involved
with the Moscow story since they are so competitive. Rush agrees
- if the President got involved, then the story would take off
quickly, but this is already happening. ABC is rumored to have
footage of Clinton carrying a coffin in a 60s rally; other
pictures of anti-war rallies are being investigated for any trace
of Clinton. The press has a nose for blood and will find out
whatever there is to be found.

Phone   Ray from Clovis, CA

Ray says that the November California ballot has a proposed
amendment to the Constitution which would allow physician-
assisted suicide. However, no waiting period is required which
means that someone could end their life immediately upon learning
that they have a terminal disease. What if the diagnosis is
wrong, though? Ray is also bothered by how no counseling is
required before someone can be killed.

Rush sarcastically gives his new outlook on this subject - "if
someone wants to die, screw 'em - Let 'em die. After all, we're
going to have national health care soon and the fewer people
alive, the less stain on us who have to pay for it." Rush is
sadden by the "unrealistic preoccupation that people have with
living," especially since there is so much conflicting
information about the value of life. Some people say you should
eat oat bran to live a long and healthy life, while others want
people to be able to be killed by their doctors.

Besides, if people start killing themselves in California, then
that means there will be less competition for Rush in the
broadcasting business. Ray adds that this initiative would make
the family leave bill a moot point - if a family member is sick,
why bother to take time off of work when you could just kill them
anyway? Rush agrees - in fact, there should be a law that lets
family members kill other family members who are causing
problems.

Ray turns serious and wonders if there are any other states that
are doing things like this. Rush says that the Michigan
legislature is debating a law that would allow physician-assisted
suicide; amazingly Jack Kevorkian is against this, saying that
people shouldn't need a law for this, just like they don't need a
law to get a heart transplant. Kevorkian wants doctors to be
allowed to act in the best interest of the patient, and if that
means the patient's death, then so be it - no law is required,
according to Dr. Death.

Rush pounds his desk and says "I tell you something, folks - this
occupation with life is going to be the death of us all. You just
gotta live and let live, and if this means dying, then by God get
out of the way."
