I\u2019m intemperate, folks. I\u2019m the one that\u2019s gonna drive independents racing back to Democrat Party according to the brainiacs in the Republican consultancy corps like <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=17119\">Steve Schmidt<\/a>.  I\u2019m the one, I\u2019m intemperate. I\u2019m the guy who hasn\u2019t endorsed anybody. I\u2019m the guy who said, &#8220;We have a lot of electable people.&#8221;  I\u2019m the guy who said, &#8220;I\u2019m gonna vote for whoever the nominee is.&#8221;  Now, I\u2019m called intemperate. <\/p>\n<p><BR\/>Meanwhile, David Axelrod, asked about Newt, &#8220;The higher a monkey climbs on the pole, the more you can see his butt.&#8221;  <\/line><img id=\"eZObject_57218\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Monkey.jpg\"\/><BR\/>What does that tell you about Axelrod?  What in the world is he thinking?  Who thinks about monkeys climbing poles?  Who thinks about that kind of thing and who thinks about what you see when a monkey climbs a pole?  (interruption) No, Snerdley, you want me to go into the racial aspect.  I remember Howard Cosell, &#8220;Look at that little monkey run,&#8221; and they dragged Cosell over the coals for a month.  (interruption) I know.  That\u2019s the difference.  If Steve Schmidt had said this about Obama, what would be happening to Steve Schmidt?  He would blame it on me. He would say he heard me say it, he was intemperate, he screwed up, he shouldn\u2019t have said it. He\u2019d blame it on me. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>If anybody on the Republican side said that about Obama, it would be over.  But, you can say it about Newt.  &#8220;The higher a monkey climbs on the pole, the more you can see his but.&#8221;  Yeah, he had a tweak for Romney.  &#8220;Generally his practice has been to bet other people\u2019s money, not his own.&#8221;  How do you say that?  Other people\u2019s money!
