RUSH: We were talking here among us ourselves at the top of the hour about something. You know, a number of you people have written and have called and asked me, “When the Democrats lose, what are they going to do?” and the first thing they\u2019re going to do, I just want to warn you is, they\u2019re going to try to impeach Bush over this Abu Ghraib thing. That\u2019s why they\u2019re keeping this alive. If they lose, don\u2019t expect them to go away. They\u2019re going to try to impeach Bush. We\u2019ve already heard rumblings about that. That\u2019s what I think. I mean, that\u2019s just my opinion, but I think that they\u2019re going to do everything they can to get him out of office if there is a clear-cut election victory this time, which there will be, by the way. On that, there is a great column today, almost a Limbaugh Echo Syndrome, Zev Chafetz of the New York Daily News, has a &lt;a target=new href=”http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/front\/story\/218908p-188030c.html”>great piece&lt;\/a> which I will share with you as the program unfolds today about why he thinks Bush is going to win big, and it\u2019s fascinating. <\/line>But beyond that let\u2019s take a look beyond what they\u2019re going to do afterwards. Let\u2019s talk about their psyche when they lose, their frame of mind. We have to admit, folks, they have thrown everything plus the kitchen sink at Bush for the last three-and-a-half years, but if you look at the intensity of the last nine months, they have fired up virtually every missile in their arsenal, and they\u2019ve launched it, and there are I\u2019m sure more that they haven\u2019t launched that are yet no come. They\u2019ve got the Michael Moore documentary; they\u2019ve got this to &lt;a target=new href=”http:\/\/msnbc.msn.com\/id\/5567879\/site\/newsweek\/”>book&lt;\/a> on how assassinate Bush; they\u2019ve got the Clarke book; they\u2019ve got the Woodward book; they\u2019ve got 60 Minutes devoting hours to both of these books. They\u2019ve got the 9\/11 Commission hearing which they hoped and thought would bring Bush down. They have now these rock musicians. You\u2019ve got Meryl Streep and her movie The Frenchurian Candidate. <\/line>I mean, Hollywood is mobilizing is. They\u2019re out there. In fact, there\u2019s a story lawmakers want sanctions on the Fox News Channel. Isn\u2019t there something called freedom of the press out there? This is unprecedented. I\u2019ll get to that here in due course here as well, but the point of all this is this. When you, as a group of people — let\u2019s say “when they<\/emphasize>” — round up everything they\u2019ve got from the Hollywood entertainment — and, by the way, all branches of it, movies, books, music, concerts — then you\u2019ve got these comedians and individual stars going out and doing what they\u2019ve been doing, and then you get the Moore documentary, which, by the way, played to standing O\u2019s in Cuba. Now, I\u2019ll tell you. If I produce a documentary and the Cubans love it, I\u2019m going to be worried. It\u2019s not exactly the kind of people I want on my side. The Democrats don\u2019t care. I mean, “Castro wants to join us? Come on in, Fidel!” So they\u2019re willingly accepting help from Castro on this, whatever help they think he can provide them.<\/line>Now, all of this, everything they\u2019ve got, and they lose, what will their attitude be? One of the things that you know they\u2019re going to say is, “Good gosh, what more could we have done? All of our power bases, all of our spheres of influence, all of their areas of dominant influence in this culture that we own, and we launched it at this guy and we still lost?” What will they think? They\u2019re going to be devastated. They are going to be beside themselves. They\u2019re going to be pulling their hair out. They\u2019re going to be questioning themselves. They\u2019re going to be doubting themselves. Now, it doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re going to slink away, quite the contrary. They are probably going to think they just didn\u2019t do quite enough, just like the Soviets just didn\u2019t quite have enough time. “The Soviets just didn\u2019t quite have enough money. The war on poverty, it just wasn\u2019t properly funded.” I mean, they\u2019re even knowingly now violating the campaign finance reform laws.<\/line>It\u2019s &lt;a target=new href=”http:\/\/seattletimes.nwsource.com\/html\/nationworld\/2001988026_donorside25m.html”>in the stack&lt;\/a> here, too. Somebody says, “Well, we do what we have to do to win. We\u2019re not going to let some law stand in the way,” don\u2019t use the word law, but “not going to let some restriction stand in the way.” The point is they\u2019re firing everything they\u2019ve got and they are trailing in the polls now. The idea that they might lose this has, I\u2019m sure, dawned on them and has for a while, and when it happens, with everything they\u2019ve launched, they are going to be questioning themselves. “What more could we have done?” and the answer is, “Nothing, because we fired everything we got. We gave it the best of what we think we have, and we lose. What does it say?” Oh, these people are going to be — there\u2019s going to be a need for mass therapy out there for these people. Keep a sharp eye, but don\u2019t rule out what I think is a very good likelihood and that is an attempt to gin up impeachment hearings on Bush vis-?-vis Abu Ghraib. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
