RUSH: This is Ed in Columbus, Nebraska<\/a>. Hello, sir.<\/line>CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s nice to pick up the phone once in a while and talk to you.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line> CALLER: I want to say that I see you in the ring fighting for us. I see you in the big fight, and you\u2019ve been up against the mainstream media, and at first they ignored you, but I\u2019m telling you what, with this drive-by media you keep saying, you landed one right on their chin.<\/line>RUSH: (Laughing.)<\/line>CALLER: I saw the Schieffer thing and they were just blinking and staggering. I\u2019m telling you what, buddy, you landed one.<\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s why I\u2019ve been using it so frequently.<\/line>CALLER: Oh, I know it, your montages and so many of the other things you do, a lot of body blows, and they punch back. What round do you think you\u2019re in? How do you feel? What round do you think you\u2019re in?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t know that we\u2019re ever going to defeat them.<\/line>CALLER: No, it\u2019s a 15 round bout. Where are you, buddy?<\/line>RUSH: I think out of a 15 rounder — I can\u2019t say I\u2019m too far along because people will think I\u2019m getting ready to resign. We\u2019re probably around six here.<\/line>CALLER: There you go!<\/line>RUSH: Round six.<\/line>CALLER: Hooah, buddy! Rusty, I\u2019m proud of you. Way to go champ. You\u2019re my Cinderella man.<\/line> RUSH: (Laughing.) Thank you. Thanks very much, Ed. Yeah, what he was talking about, there was a big, big drive-by media seminar<\/a> Wednesday night at the Bob Schieffer School of Journalism at Texas Christian University (it is an actual name<\/a>). After the panel of distinguished and respected journalists — and they were all there — had made their comments and discussion, they went to questions in the audience; some guy stood up and said, “The one thing that hasn\u2019t been raised, the one subject that hasn\u2019t been raised tonight, Rush Limbaugh. He\u2019s calling us drive-by media. It\u2019s a new McCarthyism. And why doesn\u2019t anybody fight back? Why are we just going to take this?” So here came Judy Woodruff and Schieffer, and here came Al Hunt, they were all there. Len Downie of the Washington Post actually answered that question, and said, “Well, you know, they\u2019re just entertainers, just entertainers. Limbaugh and his crowd, they\u2019re just entertainers.” <\/line>In fact, you know what? I would say that we\u2019ve actually done a 180 on that, Ed. I think they are the entertainers. You tune into the CBS Evening News and the NBC Nightly News, whatever, how can you on Friday promote what\u2019s coming up on the Monday CBS or NBC Nightly News? How in the world can you do that unless you have pieces, “Is your butt too big? Perhaps it\u2019s your genes — A special report Monday on the CBS Evening News,” or whatever. Who\u2019s doing entertainment and who\u2019s doing serious news here? Well, the butt stuff is not serious news. If you\u2019ve got 22 minutes to do news every night and on Friday you\u2019re going to promote the fact that you\u2019re going to do a story on genetics and the size of people\u2019s butts — it\u2019s Oprah. It\u2019s the stuff they do in the morning shows. These people think that they are performing a constitutional responsibility to keep the nation free and open for the brave and the mountains of purple majesty and all that. I could come up with better examples than the genetic size of your butt. They do, “Did Prep H not work for you? Are you having constipation?” I don\u2019t know what it is, but how in the world can they do that? Now, we are entertaining in our presentation, but we don\u2019t do these silly little sideshow topics that are designed to portray you as a victim and we\u2019re going to blame the government bureaucracy or the corporation responsible for your misery, join us Monday night. We don\u2019t do that. I think if anybody\u2019s in the entertainment business, it\u2019s those guys more than we are. <\/line><\/p>\n
