Politico Upset by My Comments on the Melania Trump Photos<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019ve had this story here — oh.  Before I get to this story I\u2019ve had here for a while, I see something else I didn\u2019t throw away after I used it.  On Monday — was it Monday?  This is Wednesday, right?  I hate the sound a paper rattling like that, too, so I\u2019m sorry — what date is this?  Yep, yep, it\u2019s Monday.  New York Post ran nude photos of Melania Trump with other women<\/a>.  Girl-on-girl, as it is characterized by those who traffic in such puerile interests.  Girl-on-girl nude photos of Melania Trump, and there were I think two or three different photos.  I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s the same woman or different women. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Anyway, I keenly and uniquely observed on this program after having seen these photos, I said, “Well, that probably wraps up the LGBTQ vote for Trump.”  Now, also on Monday I had a lot of poignant things to say to you. It was our 28th anniversary<\/a>, and I had a tremendous amount of — if I say so myself, some cool things, some very important things and some brilliant points that I made.  The Politico, in writing about this show on Monday, only focused on my comments on the New York Post nude photos of Melania Trump girl-on-girl nude photos and my comment that it wraps up the LGBTQ vote for Trump.  They were not happy. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what they thought it represented, but since I said it they were instinctively not happy with it.  And I thought I would mention that.  I just get a laugh out of this.  Of all the things I said on Monday, some were brilliant, some were unique, some would have been worthwhile quoting in a news related publication; but, no, Limbaugh\u2019s take on the Melania Trump photos: Looks like that wraps up the LGBTQ vote for Trump. <\/p>\n

It probably scared them that it might have that impact.  See, they\u2019re only used to photos like that helping Bill Clinton.  They\u2019re only used to pictures like this helping Democrats, not Republicans.  They look at photos like that, “Oh, well, that\u2019s it, we\u2019ve destroyed Trump, now we\u2019ve taken Melania out.” They found these old model pictures.  And my comment might have reminded them, wait a minute, it could be just the opposite.  <\/p>\n

I\u2019m Ugly, Hear Me Roar<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH: This was the Washington Post over the weekend.  Now, before I tell you what this is, over the course of the many years that I have hosted this program, I have had extensive commentary on the ugly, to put it bluntly.  We have had commentary on business areas, malls and shopping areas that I have thought were being unkind by banning the ugly so as to not harm economic activity.  There have been people who have categorized certain Americans as Uglo-Americans, and we\u2019ve commented on all of that over the course of the many years of this program. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s even an Undeniable Truth of Life that has reference to the ugly.  And each time that I have talked about this — and I\u2019ve come to the defense of the ugly, by the way.  I\u2019ve come to their defense.  And in one such instance, in mocking some of these people who wanted to ban the ugly from the streets in daytime, I asked, “Well, how you gonna enforce that?” <\/line><\/p>\n

And I said maybe I have the answer.  Maybe you don\u2019t have to enforce it because the ugly know who they are.  Well, as you can imagine, people who do not hear this program in context, who only hear that sentence when they tune in, “Oh, my God, he really said that. Oh, gee, that\u2019s outrageous, that\u2019s so typical, I can\u2019t.”  And they go off in their mock indignation, outrageous at things that I supposedly say.  And the acknowledgment that the ugly know who they are is just, they thought, beyond the pale.  They didn\u2019t see the humor in it. <\/p>\n

Lo and behold, Washington Post on, what was it, the 26th, so it\u2019s actually late last week, a column, headline:  “Stop Telling Me I\u2019m ‘Beautiful.\u2019  I\u2019m ugly.  It\u2019s Fine —  My appearance doesn\u2019t define me.”  It\u2019s written by a woman named Kristin Salaky, social media editor and writer based in New York City. <\/p>\n

She says: “If you\u2019re alive and online, you\u2019ve seen the Dove ‘Real Beauty\u2019 ads, where people react to being called beautiful. They smile, break into tears and hug. These campaigns are meant to make me (and all women) feel good in their own skin. But while I love a good compliment, it doesn\u2019t work on me. I\u2019m ugly, and I know it.”<\/p>\n

Case closed, folks.  What more do I need to say?<\/p>\n

Did You Know Tommy Tightpants Didn\u2019t Want to Record What\u2019s New Pussycat?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

RUSH:  Tommy Tightpants there in the bumper music rotation — Tom Jones and “What\u2019s Up Pussy Cat.”  Do you know he did not want to record that song? He hated it.  When they showed him the lyrics, he said, “Are you kidding me?  You want me to ruin my career?  There\u2019s no way I\u2019m singing that song.”  Somehow they made him do it and it became a huge, huge hit.  But he thought it was infantile and silly. “What\u2019s up, pussy cat?  No woman wants to be called pussy cat! What? What?” He refused to do it for a while, but they talked him into it or forced him into it, I don\u2019t know, but, it became huge.  <\/p>\n
