RUSH: What a shock. What an absolute shock, ladies and gentlemen. It looks like no other news network, not even cable news, is covering the Benghazi hearings, except for Fox News. We live in an upside-down world, ladies and gentlemen, where most everybody is going to ignore what happens here in these hearings, and, when it\u2019s over, they\u2019re going to say, “What\u2019s the big deal anyway?” CNN has joined now. They have got Gregory Hicks and I guess it makes some kind of sense because Jacob Tapper has been front and center on this on many occasions. <\/p>\n

Anyway, greetings, folks, El Rushbo here, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, doing what I was born to do from right here behind the Golden EIB Microphone, serving humanity. Great to have you here. Telephone number, 800-282-2882. The e-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com<\/a>. <\/line><\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s a minor player, but it does have an audience. Salon magazine, a Web magazine, Salon.com, they have a story by a guy who actually is a paid hack from Think Progress, which is a think tank run by John Podesta, Center for American Progress, whatever it is. He\u2019s disguised as a journalist and reporter over at Salon, and he said that nothing\u2019s gonna happen here. Nothing at all is gonna happen because these hearings can\u2019t possibly have any credibility since Fox is the only network that\u2019s paid any attention to it.<\/p>\n

In fact, Fox has already brought discredit to the witnesses because their reporting on this has been so terrible, Fox\u2019s reporting on Benghazi has been so terrible that the witnesses are already discredited. Except for some reason neither Salon nor anybody else can point to a single significant point about Benghazi that Fox has gotten wrong. On the contrary, just about all we know about Benghazi comes from Fox News or Sharyl Attkisson at CBS. <\/p>\n

But let me make a prediction here. When these hearings are over, no matter what\u2019s revealed about Benghazi, the mainstream media is all gonna say, “What difference does it make now? There\u2019s nothing to see here. This isn\u2019t Watergate.” And it isn\u2019t Watergate. Nobody died in Watergate. Four people died in Benghazi<\/a>. Nobody died in Watergate. <\/p>\n

Now, what we\u2019ve done, we want you, of course, to be as informed on this as possible. The Limbaugh Letter, the most widely read political newsletter in America today, published in our November issue last year a timeline of all that happened in Libya and Benghazi<\/a>. It prints out in four color art to three pages. It was pages 11, 12, and 13 from our issue. What we\u2019ve done, we\u2019ve taken this timeline and we have separated it, made it a single file and we\u2019ve put it at both our main Web page, RushLimbaugh.com, and also over on our Facebook page. I think we even tweeted it over there in the cesspool of Twitter. We tweeted a link to it. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s entitled: “What did Obama know and when did he know it?” It is the most comprehensive timeline for Benghazi and Libya that exists, and it\u2019s available to you free. We\u2019re not selling this. It\u2019s not tied to a subscription to anything. You just go to RushLimbaugh.com and look at it, download it if you want, same thing at our Facebook page, and you can have it for posterity. We just wanted you to know that we have made it available to one and all so that you can follow this if you happen to be interested. <\/p>\n

The Situation Room in the nerve center, it is the government\u2019s nerve center for intelligence and crisis support. By the way, these hearings are gonna have three parts. They\u2019re going to look at what was going on before the attack. They are going to look at what happened during the attack and the third phase will be what happened afterwards. Before it was a series of bad decisions. During it was a series of blunders. The after this is all over is as troubling as anything. The lengths that they went to, from the spin to the bottomless pit to the blackout on eyewitnesses, still don\u2019t know their names, is the stuff that turns paranoids into prophets.<\/p>\n

I mean, the cover-up, the attempted ways in which this was swept under the rug, all of it\u2019s fascinating. And literally it\u2019s hard to separate it out before, during, and after, but the during and the after is the real problematic area here. Now, The Situation Room is the government\u2019s nerve center for intelligence and crisis support, deep down under the White House. Five thousand square feet. It has the most sophisticated high-tech. It has sensors to prevent bugging. It has the ability to monitor situations anywhere in the world. It has seating that accommodate the National Security Agency, Homeland Security, the White House chief of staff, the official White House photographer. <\/p>\n
