What Were You Saying in Your Unintelligible Introduction, Senator?<\/strong><\/line><\/a> The question that focused on the hilarious Teddy video Rush 24\/7<\/a> members can watch in the <\/line>Best of Rush on TV<\/a> archives, came from John Gostkowski of Amherst, New York. John sent me an e-mail subject lined: “I Spoke w\/ Ted Kennedy on C-Span” He asked the senator what he was saying because, “I\u2019m sure it was inspiring.” Uncle Teddy said that if John dropped him a note, he\u2019d go back and check the record, adding they get “pretty excited” at such rallies. Again: don\u2019t try to understand him. He\u2019s not saying anything, and you\u2019ll only drive yourself to drink if you listen.<\/line>Why Do You Dems Distort Newt\u2019s “Wither on the Vine” Comment to Scare Granny?<\/strong><\/line>A lady caller from Virginia challenged Teddy on the “wither on the vine” smear campaign distorting Republicans as wanting to kill every old person on Medicare. She then challenged him on the “tax cuts for the rich” mantra, in light of the fact that we just voted tax rebates for people who don\u2019t even pay taxes. Teddy zoomed right by the wither on the vine comment with vague generalities about Republicans hating old people, and then tried to confuse the tax issue by talking about the FICA or payroll tax. The truth is, the earned income tax credit offsets the FICA tax! <\/line><\/p>\n

Why Should the Working Stiffs Pay for Bill Gates\u2019 Prescription Drugs?<\/strong><\/line> A lady from Independence, Missouri asked Teddy why “poor working stiffs” will have to pay for the drugs of billionaires under his “down payment” Medicare drug benefit. His response is just unbelievable. Quote: “Bill Gates and Donald Trump pay into this program hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes…. They\u2019re paying so much more into this, this is a fly on the wall compared – in terms of – their advantage to get prescription drugs through this program.” Thank you, Senator Kennedy! You just explained why tax cuts for the wealthy are valid: because they\u2019re the ones paying all the taxes! (Read the IRS data<\/a>) This is just like Democrat governor Gary Locke of Washington state cutting taxes for Boeing. When they\u2019re in trouble, liberals act like conservatives.<\/line>Didn\u2019t You Give Us the Legislation that Created Those Eeeeevil HMOs?<\/strong><\/line>Friday\u2019s Washington Journal was a gold star for those of you who listen to this program and called in to throw cold water on Teddy\u2019s liberal fantasies with the facts. So I want to arm you with a question you can put to Teddy the next time he\u2019s on C-Span – which won\u2019t be for a while considering the bumpy ride he had on Friday. Question: “Who created the very HMOs liberals tell us to hate and despise?” <\/emphasize>This may surprise you people, but the Swimmer himself created HMOs back in the 1970s! Again: you are more informed than real journalists are, which is why I\u2019m so proud of you. This C-Span show was more challenging for Old Kennedy than the last 50 times he\u2019s appeared with Judy Woodruff. <\/line><\/p>\n
