RUSH: Moving on to the audio sound bites. Norah O\u2019Donnell, CBS This Morning, reported the following about the budget and the sequester.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: Now to Washington and the argument over automatic budget cuts that could happen next week. A poll from Pew Research and USA Today finds 40% of Americans are willing to see those cuts take effect. Government agencies are already sending out warnings while the president and Congress are pointing fingers at each other.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The media is not happy about this number: 40% want to see the sequester. That doesn\u2019t jibe with them. They think everybody ought to be opposed to it because Obama is opposed to it even though it was Obama\u2019s idea. But they\u2019re not sure about this. The media is not sure. Forty percent of the people want to see these cuts? That has \u2019em bamboozled. Now, Bill Plante on CBS This Morning had a report out there about the effect the sequester might have on people, and he talked to Navy Administrative Assistant Sue Ann Falkenberg. Sue Ann Falkenberg, Navy administrative assistant, said this…<\/p>\n

FALKENBERG: I would have to get a part-time job to support my family. I can\u2019t exactly call my landlord and say, “Hey, I got a 20% cut in my salary. Can you reduce the rent for 20%?”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sue Ann, what you should do if this actually happens is say to your landlord, “Look, I\u2019m gonna get this money back.” We just had a federal employee who admitted that back pay is made during such times as this, during furloughs and momentary shutdowns. So you tell your landlord you\u2019re good for it. You\u2019re good for it and a holiday turkey at the appropriate time. Anyways, you see what CBS is doing. They go out and find civilian Pentagon people the day after the story comes out that Panetta says gonna have to furlough 800,000. Go out and find one to say (sobbing), “I have to pay the rent. My landlord\u2019s a skunk. He won\u2019t let me get by with… (crying)” I\u2019m sorry, folks. I deeply apologize. I\u2019m just trying to be lighthearted here. I\u2019m not personally insulting Ms. Falkenberg. This the kind of thing that makes young women nervous. I apologize. It is worth crying about to the people to whom this is going to happen, and I didn\u2019t mean to minimize that. I\u2019m really sorry.<\/p>\n

Yo! Max Baucus. He\u2019s a senator Montana. Tuesday night he\u2019s in Billings on local TV.<\/p>\n
