RUSH: Here\u2019s Jim in College Station, Texas. Welcome. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Howdy, my friend.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Very good. Thank you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Here\u2019s my point. I followed Herman since I first heard him on your show, really excited about his candidacy, now not so sure, and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Even if he\u2019s done nothing and all these allegations prove to be false —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — pick them up at the airport; you don\u2019t take them to their hotel rooms; you certainly don\u2019t have dinner with them solo. And that\u2019s what\u2019s disappointing to me is it really shows, at best, lack of judgment on his part, or naivete or both, or worse, he\u2019s looking for, you know, entertainment. I hope that\u2019s not the case \u2019cause I really like Mr. Cain.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, he\u2019s gonna have a press conference.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I have to support Newt because he really shows poor judgment on his part to be alone with women.<\/p>\n
RUSH: He\u2019s got a presser at five o\u2019clock eastern this afternoon. He\u2019ll be in Phoenix and maybe he\u2019ll have answers that are sufficient for you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I hope so.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I just need to know something.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: In your view as a Christian, is it wrong for a woman to be in a room with a man by herself? Not a bedroom, not a hotel, just in a room.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, the word “wrong” is I think a poor choice of words. No. That\u2019s not a moral issue just to be in a room. But I was a former executive director of a Christian nonprofit. Guess what, all my staff were females, there were 30-something volunteers, almost all females. I travel quite a bit speaking and I just felt it was important to build safeguards into my life, being married at the time —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — where I was not alone in my office, didn\u2019t counsel any women by myself —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah, why?<\/p>\n
CALLER: — traveling.<\/p>\n
RUSH: — let me ask you a question.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — come pick me up —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n
CALLER: — at the airport —<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jim! Trying to come on the phone system here. Jim, let me ask you a question about this, seriously. There\u2019s no wrong answer here. I\u2019m not trying to put you on the spot.<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Have you always been that way, or is that philosophy of yours recent, say in the last 15 years?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I would think it would fall within the last 15 years. I got married, I was married for 18 years.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah. No, what I\u2019m getting at here is I\u2019m wondering how much societal pressure has inadvertently flexed its muscles on you, as opposed to how you might have behaved before all of this feminazi-ism hit the trail and said what\u2019s proper and what isn\u2019t proper and all that. Men and women have been on the earth for a long time and they\u2019ve been in rooms together for a long, long, long time, and only in the last 15 or 20 years has that automatically been wrong, without regard for anything that might or might not happen, it\u2019s just not right. Anyway, Jim, I\u2019m glad you called.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Herman Cain headed the RESTAURANT Association. Restaurant — you know where you go and order food at a table? So Herman Cain who heads the RESTAURANT Association shouldn\u2019t have adult beverages or dinner with a woman or women because he puts himself in an awkward position? I don\u2019t think I could pass muster. You\u2019ve got women all over male locker rooms in the world of sport. You now have women trainers at the high school and college level under the guise of majoring in training or sports injury-itis or whatever, but they\u2019re in the locker rooms. They\u2019re teenaged girls and they\u2019re running around in the locker rooms. How about a female CEO or manager having drinks with a man or men? Hmm?<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know. Pick your CEO. Name of a female CEO, what comes to mind? Does one? Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman. Think they ever had drinks with men, board of directors, what have you? While the husband\u2019s at home doing whatever the husband does at home while the female CEO is CEOing. (interruption) Well, no. These are just the questions I have here, double standard. By the way, ladies and gentlemen, we\u2019re going back here to September 13th, 1998. New York Daily News, Helen Kennedy, New York Daily News staff writer. “President Clinton<\/a> is revealed in the Starr report as a sexual glutton who rashly put the fate of his presidency in the hands of a 22-year-old star-struck intern with an admitted tendency to babble.<\/p>\n
