RUSH: I don\u2019t believe what I just saw. Where was Bush? He was somewhere. He\u2019s going to Texas. President Bush is going to Texas to investigate preparations for the arrival of Hurricane Rita, and so the press is asking questions. It\u2019s I guess a little press event because he made a statement, and there\u2019s some stuck-on-stupid reporters, and these reporters stuck on stupid. (sniveling liberal reporter impression)<\/p>\n

“Mr. President! Mr. President! Don\u2019t you think you are and your entourage will get in the way if you go to Texas now?”<\/p>\n

You\u2019re stuck on stupid, you dingbats! You\u2019re the same people that got on his case for not showing up in advance down in New Orleans! Now he\u2019s going in advance and you accuse him of getting in the way. Bush looked at them and laughed. “I guarantee you I\u2019m not going to be in the way,” and I\u2019ll tell you why he\u2019s not going to be in the way because he\u2019s going to be at the Northern Command monitoring events because the military is running a lot of this show that\u2019s being coordinated from the Northern Command inside that mountain in Colorado. But he\u2019s going to go to Texas to check it out, make sure the preparations are there, because everybody complained he “didn\u2019t care enough to go” before Hurricane Katrina. Now these same nincompoop, narcissistic, self-absorbed, immature little kids called the press corps say, “Mr. President! Mr. President! Don\u2019t you think you\u2019ll get in the way, you and your entourage?” I tell you, I am thisclose to obscenities. It\u2019s a good thing this hour is over. You people are stuck on stupid, and everybody knows it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We have that sound bite, I was laughing about, a half-hour ago. I was watching television, Bush doing a little presser, and I didn\u2019t know who the reporter was because I\u2019m reading the closed-captioning. The reporter is giving Bush grief for going into Texas now before the hurricane. “Aren\u2019t you going to get away, you and your entourage?” I\u2019m saying, “This is stuck on stupid.” These are the same people that got on his case for not going to New Orleans before the hurricane hit there. Here is how it sounded. It\u2019s David Gregory of NBC.<\/p>\n

GREGORY: What can you do going down to the hurricane zone? Might you get in the way, Mr. President?<\/p>\n

BUSH: One thing I won\u2019t do is get in the way.<\/p>\n

GREGORY: I mean, how — What could you actually do? Isn\u2019t there a risk of you and your entourage getting in the way?<\/p>\n

BUSH: No. There will be no risk of me getting in the way, I promise you. We\u2019re going to get in the way of operations. What I am going to do is observe the relationship between the state and local government, particularly out in Colorado Springs. That\u2019s what I want to see. See, NorthCom is the main entity that interfaces that, uses federal assets, federal troops to interface with federal and state government. I want to watch that relationship. It\u2019s an important relationship and I need to understand how it works better.<\/p>\n

GREGORY: This critics might say this overcompensation for the response to FEMA.<\/p>\n

BUSH: We will make sure that my entourage is not getting in the way of people doing their job, which will be search-and-rescue immediately — and rest assured, I understand that we must not and will not interfere with the important work that will be going forward.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You have to really see this, because the president is almost laughing through this answer. He just can\u2019t believe that he\u2019s just having a lot of fun with these guys, it\u2019s hard to hear that, but Gregory just comes off as just a child, just a spoiled, rotten little child. He\u2019s going to keep asking this question \u2019til he trips Bush up. Actually he\u2019s not even asking the question to get an answer. He\u2019s asking the question to establish the point. He?s editorializing with the question. “Don\u2019t you think you\u2019ll get in the way? Don\u2019t you think you\u2019ll get any way? Don\u2019t you think you\u2019ll get in the way? What are you going down there for?” What was it, three weeks ago. “Where were you! Why were you strumming the guitar out in San Diego? Where were you? Why were you on vacation? Where were you! How come you were in Washington? Why didn\u2019t you go to the hurricane!” Folks, I\u2019m telling you, everybody sees through this now. Don\u2019t sweat this stuff. I know it gets your blood boiling; it got my blood boiling. You\u2019ve got to grab hold of yourself, got to embrace yourselves, love yourself and say, “This is good.” This is good, because it\u2019s so obviously over the top.<\/p>\n
