<\/a>RUSH: This is hilarious. It\u2019s so cute. The editor of the Limbaugh Letter<\/a>, the newsletter, Diana Schneider just sent me a link to a new children\u2019s book that\u2019s out there called Why Mommy is a Democrat<\/a>. It stars a squirrel family. I think it\u2019s squirrels. It could be chipmunks. But whatever they are, they\u2019re rodents. You know, a squirrel, I know people think they\u2019re cute. They\u2019re just tree rats. A seagull is just an air rat. Well, it\u2019s not actually a rat, but it performs the same function. So there\u2019s a family of tree rats, well, just mommy — there\u2019s no dad around. There ain\u2019t no dad here. It\u2019s just mommy, and the two little squirrel offspring. <\/line>“Why Mommy is a Democrat, a different kind of children\u2019s book.” All these quotes from like Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of The Daily Show, “Why Mommy is a Democrat is a sweet children\u2019s tale that reminds us why we are all Democrats. I loved it.” And the mayor of Columbus, Ohio, Michael Coleman, “Why Mommy is a Democrat is a warm and wonderful story of commitment to family and community. You\u2019ll want to share this book with your children for the same reason you\u2019re a Democrat, because you care.” Cherie Mabrey, York County Democratic Party, South Carolina, “I can\u2019t thank you enough for this opportunity to promote our values.” Senator Patrice Arent, Utah Senate, “I just received my copy of Why Mommy is a Democrat. It\u2019s a wonderful book. I immediately got online and ordered more. I\u2019m looking forward to share your simple but profound message with my two children. Thank you for your excellent work.” <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>Who wrote this thing? Jeremy Zilber, and it was illustrated by Yuliya Firsova. They have a click on some sample pages<\/a> so you can actually read three of the pages of Why Mommy Is a Democrat. Well, let me describe the first sample page. You have an old man and woman walking through a park. The old man is smoking a big cigar. <\/line>The woman looks like she\u2019s carrying an infant. There looks to be a homeless dreg sitting on a park bench. This is all in the background, and behind the bushes, amidst the — what kind of flowers are those? Do you have any idea? I\u2019m not a botanist or biologist. What kind of flowers are those? Daisies? They\u2019re daisies? I thought daisies were yellow. It doesn\u2019t matter. Daisies. They\u2019re white, five petals with a gold little thing in the middle. Bumblebees run around on these things all the time. And you\u2019ve got these two little tree rat squirrels, one boy, one girl, the boy wearing blue jean overalls, and the little girl wearing a green and white striped little shoulder sweater, and they\u2019re playing with building blocks. They\u2019re out there trying to spell words, tree rats. And mommy is looking out the window of the house, which is obviously a tree, with a cup of coffee, and she\u2019s looking on admirably with her buckteeth and smiling, and the page text is this: “Democrats make sure we all share our toys just like mommy does.” <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>All right. Democrats make sure we all share our toys like mommy does. Next sample page we have a giant, what would that be, an elephant walking by, where the previous old man and woman were, old man with a big cigar and ugly old woman with a little kid. The homeless guy is now up out of the park bench, because this elephant is walking by on the pathway in the park. Mom has left the safety of the treehouse and is now shepherding the two kid tree rats, and the text is, “Democrats make sure we are always safe, just like mommy does.” And, of course, the elephant is significant. It\u2019s a GOP elephant. It\u2019s a Republican walking by! And the thing is huge. It dwarfs the homeless guy that\u2019s standing up off the bench, even he\u2019s gotta leave because the Republicans are coming. <\/line>“Democrats make sure we are always safe just like mommy does.” And the third sample page, there is a university, and some graduate in cap and gown with the same couple — you know, would you explain the woman on the left here, wearing short shorts or a mini-skirt and knee boots with that gray hair that is in a beehive? Is this a depiction of rich Republicans? Okay, rich Republicans. She\u2019s wearing a fur, she\u2019s got some roses. Oh, I take it back, that\u2019s not short shorts. It\u2019s a red skirt all the way down to down to below the knees. And their son I guess is graduating there, and there\u2019s a sign on the side of the university entrance says, “Admission, $160,000.” Keep in mind it\u2019s Democrats that run all these places. It\u2019s liberal Democrats that run all these places and jack up tuitions. Across the street behind the little fence, the homeless guy is still here. The homeless guy looking longingly, hanging over a fence, wishing he could get into the school, but he can\u2019t because he can\u2019t afford it. <\/line><\/p>\n

<\/a>And mom tree rat and the two kid tree rats now have their backpacks on and their books as though they\u2019re getting ready to go to school. Mom is packing lunch, a couple of apples in a brown sack, and there\u2019s a little mouse looking on, and, of course, these tree rats are not attacking the mouse. No, no, no, no. They\u2019re friends with the mouse. The mouse is probably their pet. And the text is, “Democrats make sure children can go to school just like mommy does.” (Laughing) <\/line>Why Mommy is a Democrat. I\u2019ll tell you what, it\u2019s desperation time out there. I don\u2019t know where this book is available. Well, there\u2019s a “donate” button here on the website. So I guess you click on someplace in the website, you can buy it there or they\u2019ll tell you where to go to get it. Why Mommy is a Democrat. The front cover is mom tree rat with a little girl tree rat on her lap sitting in wicker chairs with a little baby horse carriage there as a toy. So the Democrats are associating themselves with squirrels, portraying them as Democrat families. And whatever happens, it\u2019s because Democrats do it just like mommy does. So they\u2019re admitting here, yep, we\u2019re the nanny party. We are your mother. You\u2019re always our kids. You don\u2019t have decency and sense enough yourself to do the right thing. Just turn your lives over to us, and we\u2019ll make sure that you have just a little, not a lot, and that you will be miserable.<\/line><\/p>\n
