RUSH: “Stop the presses! Stop everything! Stop the music! (silence) It\u2019s a hurricane! They just declared it a hurricane! It\u2019s a hurricane, all right! (applauding) Death and destruction during the Republican convention<\/a> is now on tap!” I just demonstrated for you the activity that probably went on in every newsroom<\/a> in this country. “Stop everything! It\u2019s a hurricane! Death and destruction while the Republican convention is going on. How can anybody dare stride to the microphone and make a speech while this is going on?”<\/p>\n

They\u2019re gonna have split screens<\/a>. That\u2019s exactly right. If the Republicans don\u2019t cancel the convention, you know what\u2019s gonna happen? Who\u2019s the big speaker tonight? It\u2019s Christie tonight. So Christie is gonna stride in there and there\u2019s gonna be split screen. They have Christie doing his speech, fire and brimstone, whatever he\u2019s gonna do. (He says he\u2019s not gonna make any changes in his speech.) And the split screen will show flooding and replays of Katrina.<\/line><\/p>\n

If this one isn\u2019t bad enough, they\u2019ll go get Katrina footage. They\u2019ll go anywhere they have to to get flooding. People standing on planks of wood in puddles of water desperately waiting for helicopter rescues. Whatever it takes! With Chris Christie on the other half of the screen talking about what a rotten guy Obama is. Then the split screen back to Obama getting off the plane in New Orleans with the FEMA director. You can see it.<\/p>\n

Not a word, not a single word about drought relief in the Midwest that will happen as this Category 1 hurricane (Katrina was a 3, I believe) moves up the Mississippi Valley and dumps some much-needed rain on many parts of the fruited plain. Nope. Death, destruction, homelessness, disaster, while the Republican convention <\/a>is going on. Oh-oh! My gosh. Ellen Barkin is getting exactly what she wants. Samuel L. Jackson getting exactly what he wants.<\/p>\n

These two actresses, actors, have prayed for this on Twitter, and they\u2019re getting it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m not exaggerating, folks.<\/p>\n

The newsrooms and the networks all over America are celebrating. A tropical storm has become a hurricane off the coast of Louisiana, and they are happy! They can\u2019t believe it. Their wildest dreams have come true! And what are those wildest dreams? Poor people get wiped out. Apparently the Democrat Party which cares so much about the poor — the Democrat Party\/the media with all their compassion for the downtrodden and the hungry and the thirsty — are excited beyond their ability to contain themselves at the idea that they might suffer.<\/line><\/p>\n

Yes, a hurricane\u2019s gonna pour in there at Category 1. “Death! Destruction! What a great day!” They say. But who lives in New Orleans? A bunch of Democrats. Apparently, folks, the Democrat Party doesn\u2019t care how many people suffer if it\u2019ll help their political agenda. The media doesn\u2019t care how many people will suffer if it allows them to ratchet up their assault on the Republicans, who supposedly don\u2019t care because they\u2019re going ahead with their convention. I was thinking about this earlier.<\/p>\n

In the old days, the early days of this program, we laughed at all this stuff. Every time one of these inane things happened with the media, we laughed at it. You know why we laughed at it? ‘Cause it was absurd. We thought everybody recognized that it was absurd. “Everybody\u2019s gonna laugh with us.” Now we still laugh, but how many morons are falling for this now? That is what we ask now. We used to be confident that all this crap would be seen through. Now we\u2019re not.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: By the way, this morning at the White House, President Obama spoke about federal preparations for tropical storm… No! No! Hurricane! It\u2019s a hurricane now, Isaac. Here\u2019s a portion of our Dear Leader\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: At my direction, FEMA has been on the ground for over a week working with state and local officials in areas that could be affected, from Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, to Florida, and more recently, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. I approved a disaster declaration for the state of Louisiana so they can get the help that they need right away, particularly around some of the evacuations that are taking place. And right now we already have response teams and supplies ready to help communities in the expected path of the storm.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: (imitating Obama) “I\u2019ve been working on this for a week. I\u2019m the guy who cares. I\u2019m the guy desperately hoping this hurricane goes in there and breaks something so I can be seen as the guy fixing it. I hope people lose their homes. I hope there are floods. I\u2019m a Democrat and I live off other people\u2019s misery, because I\u2019ve got \u2019em all fooled into thinking I\u2019m the one who fixes it.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
