RUSH: Here is Susan Collins yesterday coming out after a closed session, and she\u2019s not pleased what she heard and she wants more investigation. This is on the port deal.<\/p>\n

COLLINS: At the end of this afternoon of briefings, I am more convinced than ever that the process was truly flawed, that the national security and homeland security —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape! I can\u2019t take this. The process worked. And if she doesn\u2019t know that, she has no business being in the United States Senate. The process worked! She has to take something three months old out of context in order to make this point. And I ask myself, why? This is as bad as the CBS poll. Here\u2019s the rest of her bite.<\/p>\n

COLLINS: — of this proposed transaction were such that a 45-day formal investigation as called for under the law should have been undertaken.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. Here\u2019s what this is about. ‘Republican congressional leaders had hoped to curtail bipartisan outcries over a United Arab Emirates-based company\u2019s pending takeover of some U.S. port operations by brokering an agreement for a new investigation of the deal\u2019s potential security risks. Then came the disclosure that the U.S. Coast Guard had raised concerns weeks ago that, because of U.S. intelligence gaps, it could not determine whether the UAE company, DP World, might support terrorist operations. Bush administration officials say those concerns were addressed and resolved. Nevertheless, both Republicans and Democrats seized on the Coast Guard assessment, which was released by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing Monday, to launch a fresh round of criticism just as the furor over the ports deal appeared on the brink of subsiding.\u2019 And then she said what we just played for you. <\/p>\n

She took an excerpt of a larger report out of context, tried to make it sound like this was done recently, said recently, occurred recently. Let me read you this AP story. Let me read to you the last paragraph. ‘In a statement, the Coast Guard said the assessment was part of a broader classified Coast Guard analysis that concluded that the DP World\u2019s pending takeover in and of itself does not pose a significant threat to US assets in continental United States ports.\u2019 No story! It\u2019s the very last thing that most readers are not going to spend their time getting to. Susan Collins knew this, has to have known this. If she doesn\u2019t know this, she doesn\u2019t win — however this one is sliced, folks, she either looks ignorant or she looks like a demagogue, and either one is not good for her. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This to me is just outrageous. What Susan Collins did yesterday, jumping over the fence with the Democrats on this, if she can\u2019t see how the Democrats are using it. Folks, if I were opposed to the deal I would be as outraged over what Susan Collins did as I am today being not afraid of the deal. This is simply irresponsible. It\u2019s political na&iuml;vet&eacute; or ignorance or a combination of things. But to take one statement, one excerpt of a larger report that is outdated now anyway because the Coast Guard itself says we had our concerns addressed, there\u2019s no story here, there\u2019s not even a story. She\u2019s either been played like a Stradivarius by somebody, or she\u2019s engineering this on her own. I don\u2019t pretend to know which and it actually doesn\u2019t matter to me. Now, in February, there are some other elements to this story. <\/p>\n

‘In February, the commerce committee vetted the appointment of David Sanborn of Virginia, who was a senior executive of this UAE company, to be the new administrator of the maritime administration of the transportation department.\u2019 He\u2019s an American. David Sanborn is, unless his name was Abdula Abdul and he\u2019s changed his name. ‘The White House appointed Sanborn, who worked as DP World\u2019s director of operations for Europe and Latin America to the post in January, the same month the treasury department\u2019s Committee on Foreign Investment to the US approved the deal. Two Democrats, John Kerry of Massachusetts, who also served in Vietnam, and Bill Nelson of Florida, have vowed to block Sanborn\u2019s nomination unless he testifies again before the commerce committee. ‘He worked for Dubai Ports World when this deal was rushed through under cover of darkness without sufficient security review,\u2019 Kerry said.\u2019 Remember, folks, this deal was first rumored last October 30th. Wall Street Journal had a story about it last October 31st.<\/p>\n

There was nothing secret about this. The review process that took place was quite natural, quite normal. The Coast Guard, it has been learned, had a concern in the process during the frame of the review. The concern was addressed. Susan Collins comes out of a closed meeting yesterday. This excerpt from the Coast Guard, ‘No, we have problem, I don\u2019t think this deal flies, terrorism, problem here,\u2019 as though it\u2019s not been dealt with, as though it was overlooked, as though it was ignored and somebody signed off on the deal, even though our risk for terrorism had increased. That\u2019s what she did. That\u2019s the impression she left yesterday. Then the mainstream media, the modern equivalent of drive-by shooters, pulled up to the congested area, took what she did, bammo, fired the bullets into big crowd, this being the population of the country, and got this thing all flared up again as it was beginning to subside. <\/p>\n

And again, here\u2019s the last paragraph of the AP story. ‘In a statement, the Coast Guard said the assessment was part of a broader classified Coast Guard analysis that concluded that DP World\u2019s pending takeover in and of itself does not pose a significant threat to US assets in continental US American ports.\u2019 So now Chuck Schumer is out, ‘We got a smoking gun! We got a smoking gun!\u2019 This is being so misreported, it\u2019s being so misportrayed and misrepresented. And now the Democrats are able to take this out, ‘Smoking gun! Bush hid from us that it does worsen our security! It makes terrorism more likely,\u2019 and they\u2019re out running with it today. They\u2019re out running with it, they\u2019re out running with it with this asinine CBS poll about Bush being down to 34%, which is as flawed as the story coming out of the Senate yesterday with Susan Collins. All right, Dominick in Sheboygan, Wisconsin<\/a>, glad you called sir, welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush, dittos from Sheboygan.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you.<\/line>CALLER: Well, I agree with you. After learning all about it, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to pose a big risk, but the problem is the majority of the public doesn\u2019t know that the Coast Guard and local port authorities still handle the inspections. So I think Bush is going to have such a hard time convincing people it\u2019s okay, and I\u2019m wondering, is it worth going to the mat over this?<\/line> RUSH: That\u2019s for Bush to decide. I have many ways to answer that. In his mind, it\u2019s the right thing to do. In his mind it fits naturally with American foreign policy. It fits with the idea that we can\u2019t beat all these terrorists in that region militarily. We\u2019ve got to have some allies there. Here\u2019s some people that want to be like us. I\u2019ve been through all this. But I think one of the greatest illustrations of who George Bush is, is exactly what you say, public opposed, to hell with it, he\u2019s going ahead with it. Now, here\u2019s a guy who\u2019s not paying attention to polls. Here\u2019s a guy, he\u2019s gone out and he\u2019s fought for what he\u2019s wanted, and he\u2019s fought for what he thinks is right, and he\u2019s gotten a lot of us alternately mad or happy at times. People call this stubborn. And I often wonder, just what do some people want in a leader. <\/line>Do you actually want a president that is going to judge his reaction and his decisions on things to the reaction of polls such as the CBS poll we got today? At some point, you know, the empathy that leaders must have for the people they\u2019re leading is required, but you\u2019re not leading if you turn everything over to a referendum. We do not have pure democracy here. We have representative democracy. Pure democracy would mean every issue we\u2019d all take a vote as a nation, decide what we\u2019re going to do. That\u2019s not what we do but that\u2019s what some people apparently want the president to do. “He\u2019s not listening to us.” Well, fine. His risk is that he\u2019s voted out of office. Of course, that can\u2019t happen to him because he\u2019s not running again. But if he makes people mad enough, they can impeach him. Or they can take it out on his party, which does have a lot of people up for reelection this year and in 2008 as well. That\u2019s how it works.<\/line><\/p>\n

You can think back if you like the Clinton administration better, and some of you might have, taking polls on what to wear in vacation, I kid you not. Al Gore let Naomi Wolf come up with his wardrobe for the 2000 presidential campaign. If you want phoniness like that and if you want insincerity like that, then, you know, go ahead and support it. But I think, you know, the effort here, there\u2019s a separation of powers argument going on, and I think as long as people in the country want to play a role in this, they gotta understand the politics of this, too, as well as whatever they think about the deal, and this has set the Democrats up. Let me tell you what the Democrat theory is. I\u2019ll tell you what the Democratic Party theory is. Here\u2019s their strategery and here\u2019s their hope. This 45-day delay, they don\u2019t care about this for the added time it gives to examine the deal. <\/line>They couldn\u2019t care less. They don\u2019t want this deal. They\u2019re going to stand in the way of this deal at all costs because this is the only thing since 9\/11 that they think has put them on the right side of the national security issue. So they ask for this 45-day delay and the main reason they want this delay is to delay it so it\u2019s closer to the election where it will have some memory as voters go to the polls in November. So this 45-day delay may be extended. (doing impression) “Well, that\u2019s too soon, Rush, we\u2019re hurrying through this. They\u2019re a terribly complicated thing. Having this Arab company, United Arab Emirates, you know, going to be running the ports, and they\u2019re going to be doing security, and, you know, the Coast Guard didn\u2019t want this. We need to put this off maybe three months.” And then at the end of the three months, there won\u2019t have been any serious effort by the Democrats to get to the bottom of this because they already know it\u2019s okay. <\/line>They just can\u2019t afford to be on the side of this because they\u2019re just so desirous of creaming Bush and being on the right side of national security. So what\u2019s going to happen, in 45 days or three months, however long this so-called cooling-off period is and this additional time for review of the deal, they\u2019re going to gin it all back up. Whenever that period ends we\u2019re going to be right back to where we are today. The same arguments are going to be made, the same attempts to demagogue and frighten as many people in this country as possible, that terrorists are buying the ports and are going to be running security. I don\u2019t care what the review shows, the Democrats are never going to come off that mantra. That\u2019s fine, that\u2019s who they are. We know it. We don\u2019t need a bunch of ignorant, lame-brain Republicans jumping on the other side of the fence to join them, and it\u2019s all happening on the basis of ignorance. I can\u2019t describe it any better than I did. <\/line><\/p>\n

There was a conventional wisdom tsunami last week that swept everybody but me away. And everybody was going off with so many wrong impressions, so much incorrect data, some with no data, some with no information, just reacting on a gut emotional level to whatever fears they had, and most of the people doing that were elected officials. They were politicians. They were joining — it was an embarrassing sight to see. These are supposed to be people with access to information we don\u2019t have. We had more than they did. We knew more than they did. We were reading things they could have read but didn\u2019t. They are the late arrivals here to the facts of the deal. They\u2019re the ones, along with the mainstream media, who got this tsunami going and this drive-by shooting of last week. I can\u2019t tell you, Susan Collins thing, unless I\u2019m missing something, unless there\u2019s some element of this story that I don\u2019t know, this is just unbelievable to me. It is just sheer ignorance, demagoguery or what have you. And even if I opposed the deal it would still bother me what\u2019s going on here with her and what some of these Republicans are doing, because there\u2019s no reason. There\u2019s no reason to give the Democrats a big boost here on the political side of this thing. <\/line> All right, quick time-out here. We\u2019ll have some more phone calls and other excitement. Lots of other stuff in the stack. The left is still mounting its assault on Wal-Mart. A lot of states are trying to pick up where Maryland left off, and this is nothing but socialism on the march. We\u2019ll be back and continue here. Oh, and the media down there, this is fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is always a Tuesday before lent. Fat Tuesday, big Mardi Gras. I just saw — one of the networks, forget which, they\u2019re showing live coverage of the Mardi Gras, the fat Tuesday celebration, which is fine, I have no problem with it, but the graphic said, “New Orleans celebrates first fat Tuesday since Katrina.” Well, hell\u2019s bells, that\u2019s because it is the first fat Tuesday since Katrina. It\u2019s not as though there have been 14 or 15 fat Tuesdays that have been missed. They\u2019re celebrating fat Tuesday after Katrina. Not the first — and now they\u2019re down there, and School Bus Nagin was dressed as a general today on the Today Show, did you see that? He\u2019s honoring George Honore, but he showed up in fatigues, combat fatigues and everything. <\/line>Democrats will do anything to make themselves look tough. And six months, this is another drive-by shooting today. When\u2019s the media ever gone down and covered fat Tuesday? When have we had wall-to-wall 24\/7 coverage of Mardi Gras? We\u2019ve had it four or five days in a row here. You know why? Bush\u2019s fault. Bush\u2019s fault. Bush\u2019s fault. So it\u2019s another drive-by shooting here. The media trying to gin up this whole Katrina thing again today. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, before Susan Collins opened her mouth yesterday, you know what the Democrats were reduced to on this? They were still out there trying to make a big deal abou, “It\u2019s Arabs that are going to be running our security, and terrorists are going to be infiltrating through the ports.” But the tide had been turned, and so they were reduced to the same thing. Let\u2019s go back to the Cheney week and that drive-by shooting of the mainstream media. What did they say? When Harry Whittington lived, when he didn\u2019t die, when it was clear that Cheney wasn\u2019t drunk, he wasn\u2019t having an affair out there while pulling the trigger, shooting quail, when Whittington refused to die, the media had to give it up, and they tried to sustain the story for another week by saying what? They said, “Well, you know, this is a symptom of a much larger problem out there, and that\u2019s secrecy in the Bush administration, failing to level with the American people. Not trusting us in the media.” <\/line>Well, until Susan Collins opened her mouth yesterday, that\u2019s what was being prepped for the way to sustain the port deal story. “You know, this is just a symptom of a bigger problem in the Bush administration, secrecy, not letting people know what\u2019s going on in there.” So they don\u2019t have any substance on this. All they\u2019ve got is all they\u2019ve got on every issue, lies and demagoguery. The thing that sets this apart is that a bunch of Republicans have joined them from the outset. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
