RUSH: This is unbelievable! No, it\u2019s not because I predicted it. Right now — as we speak this instant — Dingy Harry flanked by “The Lout,” Frank Lautenberg and I guess Schumer and Menendez, Robert Menendez from New Jersey. Dingy Harry, at this moment is demanding an up-or-down vote in the Senate on the port deal even though DPW has pulled out, said, “Anchors aweigh, my friends,” they\u2019re sailing off to the sunset, going to sell their US part of the interests of this deal to somebody else, Dingy Harry is demanding an up-or-down vote, and the has just gone over the edge. <\/line>Listen to this slug as they report the story: “Senate has voted to ignore its Republican leaders and clear the way for a vote on blocking a Dubai-owned company\u2019s US ports deal.”<\/line> Dingy Harry, it\u2019s too late! The deal was killed by the Republicans in the House yesterday, and nothing you can do will convince the American people that you and your chumps in the Senate Democrats did it. You can go out and try to make Schumer the face of opposition, but you\u2019re a day late. The Republicans in the House killed this deal yesterday, before you even got your amendment offered. (laughs) So exactly what I said to you at the top of the program, that this was really all about who can get to the finish line first. “I stopped the port deal! I did! I did! I did! I did it! I want the credit. I\u2019m the great American. I care about national security, and I don\u2019t like those people, and I saved you.”<\/line>Well, the Republicans got to the finish line first, and Dingy Harry has still out there trying to make people think that it\u2019s still relevant! Meanwhile both networks, CNN and Fox, were covering Dingy Harry\u2019s press conference. They just bumped out of it to go to the White House where Bush is signing the extension of the Patriot Act. So Dingy Harry trying to get his day in the sun for Chuck Schumer. In fact, it was right when they cut to Schumer — it was right when Dingy Harry introduced Schumer — the networks bumped out of that and have gone to Bush now as he\u2019s signing the Patriot Act in Washington. Oh, I\u2019ll tell you what, I knew there would be some ancillary upsides to this port deal going south, and today is a big one. The Democrats have once again opened the door flat, smack-dab into their nose.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Vince in Cleveland, I\u2019m glad you called. Welcome to the program.<\/line>CALLER: Hi, Rush.<\/line>RUSH: Hi.<\/line>CALLER: The reason that I\u2019m calling is you\u2019ve been so far out in front on this ports deal, and I think what you said about Harry Reid just a minute ago points it up. I mean, he\u2019s still dealing with yesterday\u2019s news. The president has moved on. This ports deal, it\u2019s dead, and whether it was good or bad — and I think it was neutral, kind of — but it\u2019s a tempest in a teapot and it\u2019s yesterday\u2019s news, and the deal with India that President Bush negotiated is so much bigger. It\u2019s infinitely — it\u2019s huge. It\u2019s one of the biggest agreements in my lifetime. It took Russia out of the equation with Iran, as far as selling nuclear material. They\u2019re going to deal with India and they\u2019re going to do it the right way, aboveboard, and I think Bush is in great political shape, but the Republicans in the House and Senate really aren\u2019t. They\u2019ve compromised somebody else principles by want backed President Bush on things like the delay in getting the seats on the Supreme Court for Alito and Roberts, and, you know, the things that we control — the Senate, the House, and the presidency — and imagine if President Bush, what difference would it make if there was a shift? He\u2019ll still have to deal with an antagonistic Senate Congress, and I think you were way out ahead. Nobody else was out there with you. It\u2019s lonely at the top, brother.<\/line>RUSH: I appreciate it. It\u2019s very nice. You\u2019ve made my day along with a whole lot of other people. You\u2019re right. You\u2019re dead on about the deal, the nuclear deal with India. Couldn\u2019t believe Kofi Annan complaining about it because it showed eye double standard. We don\u2019t deal with our enemies like you do, Kofi. We don\u2019t cozy up to them and, you know, give them things that they could turn around and kill us with. We do that with your friends because we know they\u2019re not going to use them to kill us. We\u2019re developing allies. I think Bush on that trip last week had a great trip. Unfortunately, the drive-by media didn\u2019t care. To the drive-by media, there was no reason to lob a hail of bullets into those things that happened last week. The port deal is one of these visceral, emotional things that had people all wired up. So the Republicans in the Congress are feeling their oats right now. The Indian nuclear deal, deal with India regarding nukes, that something that the historians will go back and look at this administration, analyze it, economic numbers, tax rates, all these, when the historical data is in, when this administration\u2019s served its time, that when all these accomplishments will actually be put into perspective. That won\u2019t happen now. That\u2019s another reason why we\u2019re on the cutting edge, because if you listen to this program you don\u2019t have to wait for the historians. <\/line>We are writing the history today.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
