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

RUSH: It\u2019s the fastest three hours in media. It\u2019s Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network and the distinguished, prestigious, one-and-only Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies, and it\u2019s Friday, and let\u2019s hit it.<\/p>\n

JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny South Florida, it\u2019s Open Line Friday!<\/p>\n

RUSH: And the telephone number is 800… Oh, no! I knew it. I knew it couldn\u2019t last.<\/p>\n

HIGHLY OVERRATED STAFF: (singing the happy birthday song)<\/p>\n

RUSH: I just knew it. Ah, jeez. I was hoping to escape it. In the middle of the show open, the highly overrated staff walks in with a birthday cake, and those of you watching on the Dittocam can see it. It\u2019s a gorgeous cake. It\u2019s an absolutely beautiful cake. It\u2019s a white cake. Is it what we call “white trash cake”?<\/p>\n

DAWN: Yep, that\u2019s white trash cake.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, three of the candles went out.<\/p>\n

DAWN: Look what it says. “Over the Hill.” That\u2019s what the candles spell.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I can\u2019t hear what you\u2019re saying. Look what it says is “Happy Birthday, Rush. Happy Birthday, Rush.” Is there a card or did you forget to get the card? HR\u2019s gotta get… Oh, the candles say, “Over the Hill.” Oh, that\u2019s very affectionate.<\/p>\n

HR: That wasn\u2019t my idea.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really, really. Melting candles, “Over the Hill” in candles. Wow. Is there a message there? A card? My birthday is tomorrow, and they know I despise this kind of attention and having a big deal made out of it because, other than in a Third World country or New York City, the only thing about a birthday is that you made it through another year. Everybody has one. There\u2019s no great accomplishment in a birthday.<\/p>\n

It always has embarrassed me. (blowing candles) There goes the wish. I got \u2019em all but one candle. Okay, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I\u2019m 62, 62 tomorrow. Actually, at seven something a.m. Very close to seven a.m. is when I was born. I was hoping this wouldn\u2019t happen, folks. My birthday is on a Saturday, and we\u2019re not here on Saturday, so I thought maybe they\u2019d get the message and not do it. What it means is they want the cake. They want to have a taste of cake.<\/p>\n

Anyway, thank you all very much.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
