RUSH: Romney gave a great speech yesterday. I tell you, I was doing show prep yesterday afternoon about 4:30. And I go home and I just dig into stuff for the next day\u2019s show. Life is show prep for me. And I start reading things about a knock-down, drag-out, best-of-his-career speech that Romney gave in Irwin, Pennsylvania. I kind of sat up on that \u2019cause I used to live in Irwin. I lived in Irwin. Irwin is close to McKeesport. That\u2019s the first place I worked, a suburb of Pittsburgh. W…? What was the name of that station? Well, it was an oldies format.<\/p>\n
They called it “Solid Rock and Gold.” I called it “Salted Rot and Mold,” \u2019cause it\u2019s an oldies station. They had a play list of about 75 records, and that\u2019s all it was. I got sick of playing it. That\u2019s why I got fired playing for playing Under My Thumb too many times. That\u2019s the first time I got fired. I called my dad.<\/p>\n
“You what?”<\/p>\n
“I got fired.”<\/p>\n
“Why?”<\/p>\n
“I played a song too many times.”<\/p>\n
He was never gonna understand that. He couldn\u2019t understand playing a song too many times, A, or why one would get fired for doing it, other than the bosses were always right. The authority figures were always right. The teacher is always right. The principal\u2019s always right. The boss is always right. But, anyway, Irwin is where I lived, and Romney was there, and this speech of his apparently was great. We got sound bites from it. Let\u2019s listen to a little bit of it when we come back.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here we go. Mitt Romney, Irwin, Pennsylvania. By the way, you know this was a good speech \u2019cause you haven\u2019t seen anything about it anywhere, have you? Have you? The Drive-Bys aren\u2019t covering this. The Drive-Bys aren\u2019t covering it. It\u2019s not anywhere to be found in the State-Controlled Media. Here\u2019s Romney in Irwin, Pennsylvania. It\u2019s a campaign event. We have several sound bites.<\/p>\n
