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

RUSH: What did I tell you about CNN yesterday? CNN\u2019s new niche is gonna be high class trash news, National Enquirer with a British accent. And folks, we\u2019ve got the audio. Wolf Blitzer doing a report featuring pictures of him with celebrities at the NBA All-Star Game or wherever it was. I just got the sound bite roster. I mean, sometimes I amaze myself. It\u2019s like Kim Kardashian amazes herself. Listen to this. This is from Fox News. This is not from TMZ. Kim Kardashian said, “If I was a man, I would want to have sex with myself.” She was talking to her sister Khloe and she said, “If I was a man, I would want to know what it\u2019s like to have sex with myself. I would just want to know what it would feel like.”<\/p>\n

So Kim Kardashian just said, “Go screw yourself,” to herself and was not insulted. She would want to know what it\u2019s like to have sex with her, what that felt like. She totally understands what that would be like for a man, or she\u2019d want to know. <\/line><\/p>\n

Also, folks, in news that has brought tears to rock ‘n\u2019 roll audiences all across the fruited plain, you may not have heard this, Fergie is pregnant. This is the lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, the group that Will.i.am is in, she fronts it. She\u2019s the lead singer, and she is pregnant with her husband, which is noteworthy in Hollywood. She\u2019s pregnant with her husband, Josh Duhamel, and I have a name suggestion. Names are everything now and, of course, how are you gonna top Blue Ivy? You can\u2019t. And both these people, I know their politics. What kind of wonderful celebrity-style baby name could they come up with? I thought about it and there was one name that just, as they say, slapped me upside the head. It would be the talk of the media. <\/p>\n

You name that kid Sequester. Sequester Duhamel. I mean, you do that, that kid is gonna be a star even before it is born. Speaking of the sequester — we\u2019ll get to this Politico story. We could spend all three hours talking about the media here every day, and I don\u2019t want to do that. Oh, oh, wait a minute, folks. This is a story from the UK Telegraph: “Armed robbers snatch –” No, I actually changed my mind now. I said yesterday that there\u2019s no way the sequester is gonna happen, just like none of these other crises happen. I got home last night and I start thinking, you know, I might be wrong about that, because the sequester contains serious defense cuts, which Obama wants.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s making big headway in having all this blamed on the Republicans, which fits right in with his modus operandi. It\u2019s his idea and Gloria Borger and a couple others give up that ghost, we got the audio sound bites, they let the cat out of the bag, everybody knows the sequester\u2019s Obama\u2019s idea except the low-information voters. <\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

How\u2019s it pronounced? Duhamel? I never have known, I thought it was Duhamel. Now I\u2019m told Duhamel. I just want you to know I asked everybody here how to pronounce Josh whatever-his-name-is, and nobody knew. Snerdley didn\u2019t know. Dawn didn\u2019t know. Brian didn\u2019t care. Maimone took a stab at it and I said, “Okay, it\u2019s on you.” So he\u2019s the one that told me it was Duhamel and I\u2019m getting a flash note saying that it\u2019s Josh Duhamel, “There is no h-a in there, you don\u2019t pronounce it.” <\/line><\/p>\n

So, anyway, Sequester Duhamel would be the name of the kid. I do know that Josh Duhamel is an actor, and Fergie is the lead singer for the Black Eyed Peas. We saw Fergie at the Super Bowl, remember that? Halftime show. In person it was a great performance, it was a great production, in person. You saw the whole stage, the whole field of lights, it was a great production. I can\u2019t hear when people sing, so I don\u2019t know if she sang well or not, but it looked really good. I\u2019m just saying, Sequester Duhamel. <\/p>\n

UK Telegraph: “Armed Robbers Snatch $50m in Uncut Diamonds from Brussels Airport.” I got to thinking, that\u2019s no big deal. I saw Danny Ocean steal $160 million from three Vegas casinos in Ocean\u2019s Twelve. George Clooney. I saw it in a movie, I saw it on a screen, don\u2019t tell me it didn\u2019t happen. It did happen. George Clooney stole $160 million in diamonds from Andy Garcia and two other casino owners in Ocean\u2019s Twelve or Thirteen, I forget which it was. So this $50 million in a Brussels airport, that\u2019s chump change. <\/p>\n

One more thing before we get to this sequester business. UK Daily Mail. Folks, I\u2019m just gonna tell you up from, this is flat-out BS. <\/p>\n

(interruption)<\/p>\n

Yes, yes, I\u2019ve heard. I can\u2019t do it now. I got people asking me in the IFB if I\u2019ve heard about Axelrod. Yes, I heard about it. I can\u2019t do it all here in ten minutes. NBC\u2019s hired David Axelrod. The Obama, for all intents and purpose, chief of staff in the first term. That\u2019s not his title, but it might as well have been, campaign adviser, strategist. No, he\u2019s not gonna be a news anchor because the news anchors can\u2019t give their opinion. Ahem. He\u2019s gonna be a strategist on TV. He\u2019s gonna be commentary on NBC and MSNBC.<\/p>\n

And the Washington Post has hired Hilary Rosen. She\u2019s the one who said, Ann Romney\u2019s never worked a day in her life. Anyway, to you and me that isn\u2019t any kind of a big deal, but it does kind of hit another arrow through the heart of the lie that the media doesn\u2019t favor the left. I mean, we don\u2019t need to have that told to us, \u2019cause we do know it. <\/p>\n

Anyway, the UK Daily Mail: “Using the internet for hours on end can result in withdrawal symptoms similar to the ‘comedown\u2019 experienced by drug users, scientists warned yesterday. Researchers found spending excessive periods of time surfing the internet left people in ‘negative moods.\u2019 And, like drug addicts, when heavy internet users go back on the web their negative moods lift. … Professor Phil Reed, from the university\u00c2\u2019s psychology department, said: \u00c2\u2018Our results show that around half of the young people we studied spend so much time on the net that it has negative consequences for the rest of their lives. … Surfing the internet for long periods of time can cause withdrawal symptoms ‘similar to people on a comedown from ecstasy\u2019 … just like people coming off illegal drugs.”<\/p>\n

No, it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

This is classic.<\/p>\n

This is so wrong, it couldn\u2019t be any more wrong. It\u2019s a “scare” thing. It\u2019s typical of the media, and I like the UK Daily Mail. In fact, CNN ought to take a look at their front page every day. If I\u2019m right about what on CNN\u2019s trying to do, dressed-up celebrity news, high-class trash… You know, get celebrities commenting on the news, like Fergie. You know, Fergie. Ask her to what she thinks about the sequester, and that will be the show. She would the expert guest. That\u2019s the UK Daily Mail. They\u2019ve got the best celeb stuff, the best low-information pictures, stories, you name it. But they\u2019re wrong about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
