\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: To the audio sound bites. You remember earlier this week<\/a> we played for you a sound bite of Bruce Springsteen mocking and making fun of Governor Christie on the Jimmy Fallon late night show on NBC. I made the comment that I thought it was a pretty low rent thing for Springsteen to do. We played some sound bites of Governor Christie himself after Hurricane Sandy. It\u2019s actually kind of sad if you want the truth about it. Christie was going on and on and on about what a life-changing thing it was for him to talk to Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen\u2019s the greatest guy in the world. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And President Obama called Governor Christie from Air Force One, and Springsteen was with Obama on Air Force One. And Obama put Springsteen on the phone to say hi to Christie. And Governor Christie, I mean, it was like meeting God, and that\u2019s how he described it to people. He said, “You know, one Jersey guy, that\u2019s great, but two Jersey guys working on Hurricane Sandy, there\u2019s nothing that can stop us.” <\/p>\n

Governor Christie has been to 127 Bruce Springsteen concerts. Governor Christie is a huge fan. Governor Christie loves Springsteen. And, according to Governor Christie, it made him cry. It made him cry he was so happy, so moved when he finally got to speak to Bruce Springsteen. He melted he was so happy, and he told the world this. And yet there\u2019s Springsteen making fun of him in a parody of his song Born to Run on Fallon\u2019s late night show, talking about having to take a leak but he can\u2019t because he\u2019s tied up in Governor Christie\u2019s traffic jam in Fort Lee, New Jersey. <\/p>\n

And I thought, how rude is this? This is downright mean. And I thought it was an example of some pretty low character for Springsteen to do this. I know he\u2019s more affiliated with Fallon and NBC politically and this kind of thing, but Christie, imagine if you had an idol, and you met the idol and you told everybody what a great guy the idol was, and then the person goes out and laughs at you and makes fun of you on national TV, how would you feel? Well, anyway, I described all this, and Megyn Kelly did a segment on it last night on her show, The Kelly File, on the Fox News Channel. One of her guests was a columnist from The Daily Beast by the name Keli Goff, and this is Megyn Kelly setting it up.<\/p>\n

KELLY: Rush Limbaugh did not find it so funny.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: Governor Christie loves this guy, 127 different concerts he\u2019s attended, and he\u2019s mocked, he\u2019s made fun of. He can\u2019t be a real fan \u2019cause he\u2019s a Republican. You can only be a real fan and friend to somebody like Springsteen if you\u2019re a Democrat. And even then, for only as long as they can use you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, that\u2019s what she played, but I had made the other points that I just shared with you. So now, in the next bite, you will hear that I am not allowed to take the moral high ground like this. I\u2019m not allowed to say the things I said about Springsteen and Christie. No. Megyn Kelly speaking with Keli Goff, whoever that is, from The Daily Beast. She said, “Rush pointed out that Governor Christie\u2019s a huge Springsteen fan, actually talked about how he cried the first time he talked to Springsteen after Hurricane Sandy. If he actually felt a connection with Chris Christie or felt moved by the tears that Christie felt upon speaking to him and all the concerts he\u2019d been to, why would he have done this? Why would he have gone out and lampooned and made fun of and laughed at Governor Christie? He\u2019s suggesting that there\u2019s a coldness here, and the reason that this is okay to do is because Christie is a Republican.<\/line>
