RUSH: Well, we had a couple more hangings over there in Baghdad. Saddam\u2019s half-brother Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti — you know, Saddam\u2019s actual name ended with al-Tikriti, too, just means they\u2019re from Tikrit. They hanged the guy and apparently somebody goofed up there, the hangman, and he was decapitated. They\u2019ve shown reporters video of this. The other guy was hanged properly, both dead, but one lost his head, Saddam\u2019s half-brother lost his head, and of course there\u2019s worldwide outrage over this. You read the story, though, you find out that this guy Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikriti carried out Saddam?s and other orders to put prisoners in wood chippers and so forth. <\/line>The thing that amazes me about this, I have to be honest, I can\u2019t believe the Supreme Court\u2019s putting up with this. I can\u2019t believe the Supreme Court hasn\u2019t put a stop to these executions, these hangings, especially if they?re going bad, they\u2019re humiliating to the victims, and we haven\u2019t heard a word from John Paul Stevens about this. We haven\u2019t heard a word from Ruth ?Buzzi? Ginsberg or Mr. Foreign law himself, Stephen Breyer. What good are they? By the way, John Edwards, the Breck Girl, very courageous, lots of guts, went into New York yesterday to slam Hillary, while she\u2019s in Iraq. By the way, there was a sighting of a Sherman tank in Iraq. It wasn\u2019t. It was Hillary wearing body armor. People didn\u2019t think we had any Sherman tanks deployed in Iraq. They saw it, whoa, what is this? Have you seen the video of Hillary sitting there talking to Maliki? Laughing it up like a schoolgirl. Whatever they\u2019re talking about, don\u2019t know. But that cackle that she has, we named that cackle. (interruption) Dawn\u2019s upset at my Hillary Sherman tank remark? Dawn, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m sorry. I shouldn\u2019t have said that. You know, I need to move to the center on these kinds things. You\u2019re right. Dawn\u2019s right. I shouldn\u2019t have said that. When did we get married, Dawn? Again, 800-282-2882. Slap me upside the face. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: By the way, I just saw this<\/a> on television. Apparently some company is putting out a Saddam in the noose doll. Saddam Hussein in a hangman\u2019s noose, and the T-shirt says, “Dope on a rope.” Oh, this is horrible. How can the Supreme Court permit this? They\u2019re making fun of this guy who was hanged and was brutally taunted and made fun of and laughed at before he was hanged. This is unseemly. <\/line><\/a>But here\u2019s the real story. Several kids in the Middle East have died trying to replicate the Saddam video. They?ve hanged themselves. It says here, this is an AP story<\/a>, ?The boys\u2019 deaths scattered in the US, in Pakistan, in Turkey and elsewhere in seemingly isolated horror had one thing in common: They hanged themselves after watching televised images of Saddam\u2019s execution.? The press is wringing their hands over it, ?Oh, my gosh, do you realize what\u2019s happening here? Why, that video, it was horrible, that video has been released because look what the kids are trying to copy, Saddam is hanging?? wait a minute. This is the same media for the longest time telling us violence and sex and perversion on TV doesn\u2019t affect the behavior of the little kids that watch it? But now all of a sudden since it\u2019s the Saddam video, why, there\u2019s a problem here? You know, there was less explicit violence in the Saddam video than in 95% of the action shows and movies that are broadcast in this country every day. In terms of raw violence in the Saddam video, there wasn\u2019t much. Just that final shot with the head at an angle and the slit throat. Oh, well. Selective outrage. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
