RUSH: So we got a hurricane coming. The National Hurricane Center, which is a government agency, is very hopeful that the hurricane gets near Tampa. The National Hurricane Center is Obama. It\u2019s the National Weather Service, part of the Commerce Department. It\u2019s Obama. The media, it\u2019s all about the hurricane hitting next week, and they\u2019re not talking about Biden, they\u2019re talking about this Hurricane Isaac thing. Well, you know, we who live in south Florida become experts. We don\u2019t need the National Hurricane Center, and we don\u2019t need all these weather dolts analyzing this for us. Well, we need the center, we can look at their charts and graphs, we know what to do, we can read the stuff. I\u2019ve been tracking the charted forecast track of the storm, and they\u2019re moving it sometimes to the east. The latest, 11 o\u2019clock, they moved it to the west as a Cat 1 impact in Naples, Fort Myers area. <\/p>\n
So, anyway, for the fun of it — and I haven\u2019t done this in years, and I don\u2019t want to get anybody mad. Our TV viewing habits change as we get older. I hadn\u2019t watched the Weather Channel since NBC\/Comcast bought it. So I didn\u2019t know (I mean I knew, but I didn\u2019t recall) that Al Joker is now on the Weather Channel. I thought he was strictly the Today Show, but they have Al Joker sometimes on the Weather Channel.<\/p>\n
I tuned it in, and I\u2019m watching it, and I\u2019m thinking, “Do they think I am four years old or what?” Al Joker is sitting there telling me (condescending voice), “Make sure, kiddies, that you don\u2019t light a candle in the hurricane.” What is this? We\u2019re a week away and you\u2019re telling us “Don\u2019t light candles”? What, are we four years old out here? And yeah, I got to thinking. Local weather is that way. It snows and they send a reporter out there to stand in the drifts to tell us not to go out.<\/p>\n
“And remember: If you skid out, turn into the skid.” There are all of these things that you learn, and then I had to stop and think: Maybe people today aren\u2019t learning these kinds of things. Maybe a lot of the country is the equivalent of four or five years old. But it was Weather for Babies. I thought Al Joker should dress up in a diaper, get some apple juice in a baby bottle, and do his Tropical Update from a baby crib. I kid you not. “Don\u2019t light candles during a heavy windstorm.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: If that hurricane hits Tampa during the Republican convention? Let\u2019s see here. At eight a.m. Monday, the current forecast track from the National Hurricane Center has a Cat 1 impact landfall around Naples or Fort Myers. And just magically skirting right up the west coast of Florida.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, it\u2019ll be right there at Tampa, right there in the Bay Area. You know they\u2019re hoping for this. Now, if this happens, if the hurricane gets there, will anybody accuse Barack Obama of steering the hurricane to kill rich white people at the Republican convention? (New Castrati impression) “Come on, Mr. Limbaugh! What would make you say something so positively absurd?” Well, isn\u2019t that what you guys accused Bush of doing when Katrina went into New Orleans?<\/p>\n
You may not have been paying attention, folks, but there were wacko, extreme Democrats who tried to tell other Democrats that Bush steered the hurricane! He had a weather machine and he wanted to wipe out Democrats and the Democrat advantage in Louisiana. That was said! It was said. It was one of the most outrageous things, and then certain elements of the media went around asking people:<\/p>\n
“Do you think Bush really didn\u2019t do anything about this because he was happy to see Democrats displaced and have to move to places like Texas and so forth, giving Republicans an electoral advantage in Louisiana?” They actually asked the question. The idea that Bush didn\u2019t care that poor black people who were being victimized by Hurricane Katrina? Well, we could turn it right around \u2019cause we know that Obama does not like Romney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
