RUSH: Candy in Los Angeles on the 405, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Good morning. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I couldn\u2019t be better. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s terrific. My point is that Nancy Pelosi is doing a lot more damage to — besides just the Democrats, my mother, who is 80 years old and votes every election, said, ‘This is the reason why you shouldn\u2019t vote for a woman, dear. Look at how upside down she is. She knows nothing. She puts her nose where things don\u2019t belong. That\u2019s what women do. They\u2019re just too emotional.\u2019 You know, and we were talking about as I simply had to call and tell you because —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Now, wait. Wait just a second. He can\u2019t issue a broad generality like, ‘Women put their noses in place they don\u2019t belong.\u2019 I can give you several personal examples where that\u2019s been great.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not me, sir. I will tell you honestly that I have been having an open dialogue with my mother about, you know, about the possibility of a woman being president. And she said, ‘Nope, they\u2019re just not emotionally capable, you know, blah, blah, blah.\u2019 But the long and short of it is that Nancy Pelosi was the person that she used to drive home her point this weekend when I saw her, and I just thought this was kind of ironic because she said, ‘This is why Hillary Clinton can never be president. Look at what this woman is doing!\u2019 So I think that the damage is not only to the Democrats, it\u2019s certainly specifically to Mrs. Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, you\u2019re very prescient, you and your mother, because I have to tell you something. One of the things that I predicted would happen after Ms. Pelosi was elected to the speakership of the House was a battle for control of Washington between Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Bill Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi. It\u2019s going to be a problem for Hillary, you\u2019re exactly right, because Nancy Pelosi thinks that she is co-president already.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Something Hillary has actually been. Pelosi\u2019s acting like she is the co-president now, and she\u2019s doing what she can to set the Democrat Party agenda for Washington, and it may not be something that\u2019s going to be helpful to Mrs. Bill Clinton. Mrs. Bill Clinton is not going to want to appear as far off the left-wing fringe as Ms. Pelosi does. Even though she is, she isn\u2019t going to want to appear that way. But Pelosi! This is why we reminded you of the existence of the Queen Bee Syndrome, which is women in positions of power do not put other women in close subordinate roles because they don\u2019t want a female competitor. They would rather have a male competitor in close supportive roles in business organization, wherever. But Hillary is seeking the power of the most powerful woman, the most powerful person in the world. Pelosi\u2019s nowhere close to that, but she\u2019s acting like it. So you\u2019re right. There\u2019s all kinds of things here that are being roiled and mixed in this evil brew. It is going to have consequences and ramifications down the road.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That will not lead to friendship.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. No. Not only that, it\u2019s alienating the women voters. Because as I say my mother and I had a dialogue for some time because I would love to see Condoleezza Rice run. I really respect her. I think she\u2019s a fabulous woman, and I think that she might have a place someday as the chief. However, that everything been said, my mother — who as I say is 80 years old — said, ‘Absolutely not. I wouldn\u2019t vote for her. I wouldn\u2019t vote for a woman,\u2019 and my mom isn\u2019t so different than all the other moms out there that have been around for a long time. They\u2019re from the old school. They don\u2019t see the changes that are coming, but when this lady — who like is an embarrassment to California anyway — reacts the way she does. It just drives home my mother\u2019s point that women are not fit to be in those kinds of positions —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — where you have to have a cool head.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, look, I understand this, but that alone — these things taken singly or individually are not going to be enough — to have an impact. It\u2019s going to take a, you know, series of these kinds of things. What Pelosi is doing is not irritating her people on the left. It\u2019s not irritating a lot of people. They think she\u2019s looking cool. Especially the left-wing kooks which make up the base of the Democrat Party. So it hasn\u2019t come back to hurt her yet, and don\u2019t forget, there\u2019s another side in this equation. You can sit there and you and your mother can tell yourselves stories and anecdotes about all this, but it\u2019s not scientific, and you\u2019re making a big mistake if you think that you are thinking and reacting as a majority of American women are. In and of itself, you may be right, but we\u2019ll never know. The aspect of this equation, the part of it that\u2019s missing, is Republicans standing up and saying what you\u2019re saying. Not about the women business, but, ‘Who the hell does she think she is? This is negotiating with a terrorist state! The state department has Syria on the list of states that sponsor terrorism. She\u2019s over there sipping tea.\u2019 She\u2019s not the first. A bunch of other Democrats have gone over and done the same thing. John Kerry has been there. If Republicans don\u2019t stand up and say anything about it, then a lot less hullabaloo will be created in the minds of the general public. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned earlier, ladies and gentlemen, that Nancy Pelosi\u2019s ‘calm down, Mr. President, just calm down\u2019 comment is still driving me up the wall. Here she is. She\u2019s a mother. She\u2019s a grandmother. She can nurse the kids and balance them on her knee and protect country at the same time. She\u2019s speaker of the House. She\u2019s commander-in-chief. She\u2019s secretary of state, and, my friends, she is a ______. (Fill in the blank.) What has she done? Look at this 100 hour gimmick. Lots of Drive-By praise, but what did it accomplish? Oh, oh, I\u2019m sorry, it led to a minimum wage increase in two years, which still hasn\u2019t become law. What did they get done? They can\u2019t legislate anything, folks. They can\u2019t get any legislation through Congress. They don\u2019t have a majority large enough to sustain presidential vetoes, and because they can\u2019t legislate, they\u2019ve decided to investigate — and they\u2019re going to go overboard doing that. Orrin Hatch finally took it to Senator Pat ‘Leaky\u2019 Leahy yesterday. We have the audio sound bites<\/a> of that coming up on this attorney general firing thing. <\/p>\n

She hasn\u2019t done anything, other than become the first female speaker of the House. She\u2019s got a lot of press, a lot of Barbara Streisand, and now she\u2019s off to Syria. The administration asked her not to go. She didn\u2019t even ask for permission. She didn\u2019t call up and say, ‘What would you think of me going over there on a fact-finding trip?\u2019 So there she is in Syria. We see her sipping tea with the dictator over there, Bashar Assad. She tells the president to calm down! ‘You have to understand, Mr. President!\u2019 She can\u2019t handle one bit of criticism, not one bit of criticism, and she\u2019s on the phone to the White House complaining or moaning or telling the president to calm down. While she ‘slow bleeds\u2019 the funding for the military, she tells the president to calm down? While she\u2019s trying to secure the defeat of the US military and the United States itself, she tells the president to calm down? <\/p>\n

She defies her own government while we are at war, and she tells the president to calm down? Can you imagine back in 1995 or \u201996, if Newt Gingrich had gone off to Kosovo to try to negotiate some sort of peace there while Bill Clinton was mounting bombing runs from 15,000 feet? Can you imagine if Newt Gingrich had gone off to Syria, if he\u2019d gone off to Syria while Bill Clinton was negotiating with Arafat in the Lincoln Bedroom trying to achieve Middle East peace? Now, Bush has to do something about this. The president has to get involved. He can\u2019t sit there and say, ‘Okay, I\u2019ll be calm.\u2019 He\u2019s got to react to this somehow, if not for himself, for the presidency. You might say, ‘They gotta be careful because the Republicans are going to play these same tactics if the Democrats get the White House,\u2019 but I\u2019m not so sure the Republicans have it in them to behave like this. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
