RUSH: Legal Insurrection has done a tabulation here of just the stats, and this is published yesterday, last night at eight o\u2019clock. <\/p>\n
Herman Cain, we\u2019re up to sound bite 12 now, turn the pot up. This is the Texas Patriots PAC Debate between Gingrich and Herman Cain, and during the debate Gingrich says to Cain: “What has been the biggest surprise to you out of this whole experience?”<\/p>\n
CAIN: The nitpickiness of the media. (applause) If there is a journalistic standard, a lot of them don\u2019t follow it and as a result too many people get misinformation and disinformation. So it is the actions and the behavior of the media that has been my biggest surprise. I thought — now, this is probably gonna get taken the wrong way, but I didn\u2019t take political correctness school. (laughter) There are too many people in the media that are downright dishonest. Not all, but too many of them do a disservice to the American people. (applause)<\/p>\n
RUSH: That was Saturday night in The Woodlands, Texas, near Houston, in a big, long debate with Newt Gingrich. Same place, two unidentified reporters, an unidentified staffer, and Cain chief of staff Mark Block, unidentified guy had this exchange about the Cain campaign going forward.<\/p>\n
REPORTER 1: Mr. Cain, the attorney for one of the women who filed a sexual harassment complaint…<\/p>\n
CAIN: Don\u2019t even go there.<\/p>\n
FEMALE STAFFER: No gossip.<\/p>\n
REPORTER 1: Can I ask my question?<\/p>\n
CAIN: No, because…<\/p>\n
FEMALE STAFFER: No, no gossip.<\/p>\n
REPORTER 2: Can I ask a good question?<\/p>\n
CAIN: Where\u00c2\u2019s my chief of staff?<\/p>\n
BLOCK: I\u00c2\u2019m right here.<\/p>\n
CAIN: Please send him the journalistic code of ethics.<\/p>\n
BLOCK: Will do.<\/p>\n
CAIN: All right, you want to ask another good question? I was going to do something that my staff told me not to do and try to respond. Okay? What I\u2019m saying is this, we are getting back on message. End of story.<\/p>\n
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Thank you, Mr. Cain.<\/p>\n
CAIN: Back on message. Read all of the other accounts. Read all of the other accounts Where everything has been answered. End of story.<\/p>\n
RUSH: There you have it. That was Saturday night in The Woodlands, Texas. How many people have died because of Herman Cain\u2019s alleged harassment? Zero. How many people have died because of Fast and Furious, the Obama gunrunning scandal, Mexican drug cartels that Politico barely reports on? There have been some. There are some dead people, including one boarder agent that we know of. It\u2019s like the old question. How many people have died at Chappaquiddick versus in nuclear power accidents? Something like that. <\/p>\n
Now, moving on. This Friday night on NPR, All Things Considered, the co-anchor Robert Siegel spoke with David Brooks of the New York Times and — just David Brooks and the New York Times in this case, but what we have here coming up, we\u2019ve got Brooks, we have Bill Kristol from Fox News Sunday and Paul Gigot from Fox News Sunday and then Juan Williams on Fox News Sunday all about Herman Cain. Here\u2019s Brooks first. Question from Siegel on All Things Considered. “Herman Cain, who\u2019s been asked about sexual harassment complaints from the nineties and the cash payments at the National Restaurant Association made to two women who complained. David, you first, is this the beginning of the end of the Cain phenomenon?”<\/p>\n

RUSH: Once again we judge Herman Cain by how poorly he handled it. Standing up for the elite insiders. Polling data, he\u2019s holding up, Washington Post calling him a Teflon candidate. It\u2019s not taking him out. In the national polls, which really don\u2019t mean all that much in primaries, but even in Iowa Herman Cain is in the lead, I believe, in Iowa. So now we move to Fox News Sunday yesterday morning. Chris Wallace speaking to Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard about the allegations against Herman Cain. Chris Wallace said, “How about Republicans?” (interruption) That\u2019s right, Snerdley. Herman Cain just doesn\u2019t have the right crease in his pants for Brooks, like Obama did. Remember standing up for the elitists, David Brooks said, “The crisp crease in his pants.”<\/p>\n
Have they ever spotted Brooks on the campus at Penn State? I mean what a thing to say. Ah, the crisp crease in his pants, that told Brooks that he was really qualified to be president. And, by the way, isn\u2019t Obama a professional, Mr. Brooks? I guess only a real pro could get us in this mess. We\u2019re all professionals here, right? Obama\u2019s a professional. Never had a job in his life. Obama has never had a job. Claims to be the expert on creating jobs. People like you, Brooks, grant him that power because of the crease in his pants. Herman Cain\u2019s a joke. <\/p>\n
Anyway, back to Kristol now. Chris Wallace said, “How about Republicans? We saw this in the ad at the beginning from his super PAC, but I\u2019ve heard it from a lot of conservatives linking the allegations against Cain to what Clarence Thomas went through and the clearer implication at the opening statement is that this is the way the left goes at conservative blacks.”<\/p>\n
KRISTOL: I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that comparable to what, uh, Justice Thomas went through. Uh… uh… Anita Hill showed up ten years later to attack Clarence Thomas, not having filed any complaints at the time. There were complaints filed contemporaneously by employees against Herman Cain, but he\u2019s not going to be the nominee, if I can just be honest here for a minute. He was never going to be the nominee.<\/p>\n
RUSH: And the voice of god-d in the conservative inside-the-Beltway establishment has spoken. “He\u2019s not gonna be the nominee. (snickering) He\u2019s not gonna be the nominee, if I could just be honest here for a second! (chortling) He\u2019s never gonna be the nominee! What are we talking about? (guffawing) I talk to Brooks, Brooks and I both know he\u2019s never gonna be the nominee! Why are we even being forced to talk about this? We\u2019re so far above Cain! Who are you, Wallace, asking me this? He\u2019s not going to be the nominee! What the hell are we talking about?” And then Paul Gigot at the Wall Street Journal, Wallace said, “Do you take him seriously as a possible nominee, Mr. Gigot?”<\/p>\n
GIGOT: I think that, uh, he doesn\u2019t really think — he — he didn\u2019t think he would get this far, and that\u2019s the problem. I don\u2019t think he was prepared for this, and I think that that really, in my mind, is gonna wear, duh, with Republican primary voters in the end, and they\u2019re probably not gonna nominate him.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, isn\u2019t that what they told us about Obama, that he never really intended to get there? He was just setting the groundwork for a future run? But then the media all of a sudden loved “the crease in his pants,” and that\u2019s the end of the story. Obama was deemed The Messiah, Hillary Clinton is still scratching her head over what the hell happened to her, and now we\u2019re told, “He didn\u2019t even want to win! He\u2019s gonna be the nominee. (giggling) Come on, get serious here! He\u2019s not gonna be the nominee. (snickering) You know it and I know it. Brooks knows it. We\u2019ve talked about it! He doesn\u2019t want to be the nominee, never intended to go this far. It\u2019s a television show!” But Juan Williams was also on the show, and Wallace said, “Juan, what about you?”<\/p>\n
WILLIAMS: He has been the pinata for the black liberal establishment now for a good while. They see him as some kind of token put out by the Tea Party as an “acceptable” kind of black to Republicans, and I think it\u2019s been just thoroughly insulting. On this panel people say he\u2019s not gonna be the nominee, but you know what? I didn\u2019t think he\u2019d come this far. I never thought he\u2019d reach this point. The thing that worries me is now that this is a way that you can drag him down, and I just think it\u2019s insulting to Herman Cain. I don\u2019t like it. I think the people who are challenging the orthodoxy get attacked.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Juan Williams is not happy here with what\u2019s going on to his fellow black guy, Herman Cain. Every once in a while, every once in a while it happens out there. Obama never thought he was gonna get elected. Lincoln never thought he was gonna get elected. Was Lincoln a professional? So anyway, they got Juan Williams ticked off.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Teresa, Jacksonville, Florida. You\u2019re first today, and it\u2019s great to have you with us. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you. Thank you for having me — and I just have to tell you, Rush, truly, I can\u2019t decide if I\u2019m ripped or elated regarding all of this stuff with Cain and the media. All I know for sure is the more accusations they throw his way, the more I know he\u2019s our man. Because I feel like I\u2019ve been trained to totally not believe anything they say.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Now, that\u2019s interesting. It is interesting that you are thinking that this might make Herman Cain the guy?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, well, it just shows —<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/HermanCainChange.jpg\"\/)
CALLER: I do, too. It\u2019s Herman Cain.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) No! They think it\u2019s not gonna be Cain. It ain\u2019t gonna be Herman Cain.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: It\u2019s not gonna be Herman Cain, they say.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They say don\u2019t say that. Be serious.<\/p>\n
CALLER: They\u2019re just trying to talk confidently.<\/p>\n
RUSH: But why don\u2019t they just tell us who the next nominee is gonna be if it\u2019s up to them? If it\u2019s up to Brooks and Gigot (pardon me here. Somebody called him “Gidget” to me once, which I\u2019m getting confused) and Brooks, Kristol, if it\u2019s not gonna be Cain, who is it gonna be? We could save a lot of fuss and a lot of bother and a lot of money, get on with our lives if they just tell us who the nominee is gonna be.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, in their minds it\u2019s gonna be Mitt Romney, but, no. It\u2019s gonna be Herman Cain.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You may be more right than you know when you say that —<\/p>\n
CALLER: I think I am. I listen to you.<\/p>\n
RUSH: — that in their minds it\u2019s going to be Romney.<\/p>\n
CALLER: And, to boot, here\u2019s what I\u2019d love to do: I\u2019d love for you to keep me on the phone afterward so that you can give me an address because I would love to mail that man a double-breasted suit with a beautiful red tie to go with it.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) You want to mail Cain a double-breasted suit?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yep. Absolutely! Absolutely.<\/p>\n
